Remember that P-3 that landed in chicom airspace back in 2000/2001, supposedly hammers were used to beat the interior of that bird all to hell when the pilot realized they weren't going to make it to a safe landing area.
No supposedly, it was. Aircraft with sensitive data or equipment on them always have one of two pieces of simple hardware nearby. Either a sledge hammer, or a regular hammer (for smaller craft). Sometimes several of them. In case of landing somewhere unfriendly, swing repeatedly. On aircraft, where applicable, there's typically an easy way to erase/ruin any data, magnetic storage medium, film, etc.
Ground locations that might be "taken over" and have classified data/equipment have at least: 1 55 gal drum, some liquid that burns well, and a lighter. The above can be replaced with an easy to access incinerator (sometimes both are present). There is a very specific burn procedure that people that work there tend to have to memorize. They start with the most sensitive and keep burning until the lunch order is gone or they're disabled and can't.
You can get betas of 2005 from MS for free (the basic, starter, whatever they're calling them editions). If you have an MSDN subscription, you can download a Beta of 2005 Pro.
I ask because a lot of your complaints have been at least partially addressed in the new release.
Because Law Is Everything. That, in a nutshell, is why there is so much fuss. Features mean absolutely nothing if you are sued, your work becomes illegal, it gets taken away from you, etc.
So, what you're saying, is that Microsoft is going to sue people for implementing an ECMA/ISO standard? I suppose they could, but if you read Slashdot you know there's already legal precedent set that says they lose.
C#/.NET/CLI/etc are ECMA/ISO standards. Suing people for implmenenting standards isn't going to get you anywhere.
I wish the parent wasn't posted AC. It's got the argument down. C#/.NET/etc are standards. Standards don't change fast, and while MS could make things break by either not following the standard, or some other method, chances are they won't. If they break Mono, they break everyone else using their older products. They've learned not to do that on the development side (with a few rare exceptions).
MS would NEVER let this happen. Have you ever heard of J++? Once.NET grabs hold MS would extend it in such a way as to make apps written in C# incompatible with their non-ms bretheren. Exactly what they did with J++. The difference here is that Sun owned Java and sued MS for extending Java without their permission. In this case will Mono sue MS for extending C#? MS owns it!
FUD. MS owns an implementation of the C# standard. They do not own C#.
You can spend equally large amounts of time with operating system issues on that other platform as well. Enough to level the playing field in that respect.
You mean like the week I've spent with Microsoft working out an MDAC issue on Windows 2003 which still isn't resolved?
Wow. You must have low expectations. I cannot stand VS.NET. It has none of the refactoring and proper working code completetion tools that Eclipse and Netbeans has. I personally think its a horrid IDE.
So, if you have limited resources, and you have to choose between Half-Life 2 or Doom 3, and something independent, you're more likely to go with the known property, even if it isn't as creative (or even as good).
That's when the smart consumer reads the reviews from the people who do have the money to buy and play every game out there.
So 1/5th of the players (assuming the study is anywhere near accurate, which I doubt) are pirates...that doesn't support the statement "Console Players are Pirates." Yesh.
As usual, the news didn't give the full story. The judgement has been vacated and remanded, meaning that it's back in the District Court's hands to redo....
From the ruling:
In conclusion, because the district court improperly granted JMOL in Eolas' favor on Microsoft's anticipation and obviousness defenses and improperly rejected Microsoft's inequitable conduct defense, this court vacates the district court's decisions and remands for further proceedings on these issues. In addition, this court affirms the district court's claim construction of "executable application" and finds the district court did not err in its jury instruction with regard to the claim limitation "utilized by said browser to identify and locate." Finally, this court affirms the district court's holding that "components," according to section 271(f)(1), includes software code on golden master disks.
If we accept this logic, then we must also accept the conclusion that minors should not be exposed to influences that might cause them to go "over the edge".
And it's the game companies' responsibilty to not expose them to it? Bull. It's the parents' responsibility. The games are clearly marked for the age ranges they are intended for, if parents let others play the games, then the parents and child are responsible.
The average price was about $1.30 a gallon in 01/05.
For standard jet fuel. This plane doesn't use standard jet fuel, it uses a special blend formulated to not freeze at the high altitudes that the craft is flying. Even if the managed to get that at $1.30 a gallon, dropping 18,000+ pounds of it isn't going to be cheap. That's FAR more than "a few thousand pounds."
Lets blame anyone and everyone but the kid and his parents... After all, why should the parents have any involvement in what their kids are doing? Blame it on those damn games!
Firefox seems not to honor my/etc/hosts file (WinXP) for much of anything.
I added ads.osdn.com to it, and it happily displays everything from there.
Did you reboot? It won't work unless you reboot. Otherwise, make sure that IE is blocking them, if it's not, something else is wrong and it's not Firefox.

That is really pathetic. A whole week to solve one issue? Man, I wouldn't want to hire you! Doesn't matter if it was Windows or Linux!
That's alright, I don't want to work for anyone who makes decisions and judgements without the relevant information, i.e. you.

Looked at VS.NET 2005 yet?
Privacy? Who said anything about privacy? You put your stuff up on the internet, don't expect it to be private, ever.
You can't tell me this isn't true...

I'd say it's more then that. Pretty much everyone i know has a modded XBox or PS2 and pirates almost all their games. I'd say at least 2/3rds of them.
All that says is that your friends are pirates, not that gamers are.
So 1/5th of the players (assuming the study is anywhere near accurate, which I doubt) are pirates...that doesn't support the statement "Console Players are Pirates." Yesh.

Somehow I doubt the price of the specialized jet fuel this uses is cheaper than standard gasoline.

Give me a break, just more stupid laws.
What's wrong with dumping the excess fuel before landing? I dunno.
Looked at jet fuel prices lately? I wouldn't want to dump a gallon of the stuff, much less a full load.
Some leatherman knives have their blades on the inside as well. The leatherman clip I carry does.
