unlike all the methods of communication that don't have people trying to sell you something.
Other means of people trying to sell to me helps to support a service, so I'm happy to tolerate it.
GET A FUCKING CLUE.
Wow! You can swear. And type in capitals. Does that make you feel big? Like a strong, powerful man. I hope so, because I'm sorry to say it makes you look like an uneducated brat.
It's a bewtter line, but perhaps it's too prosey. Too wany words. It's good to read, but if there's a lot of dialogue like that in a film, it gets too long winded and unrealistic. People just don't talk like that.
I guess we can be pedantic and say that antibiotics and antivirals are not similar things, but as far as the patient is concerned they are.
It's not being pedantic though. We want to know what this does. Explaining how it deals with bacteria doesn't tell us a lot about how it deals with a virus.
This is a technical site, with a lot of scientists. Even though the majority of readers specialise in Engineering and physics, there are quite a number of biologists, and many who have at least some education in biology. I last studied biology when I was 16, but I know in general terms the difference between a virus and bacteria.
Not sure. I've heard it described as both a high level and a low level language. I think it depends on industry segment more than age. Presumably embedded programming types see C as a useful HLL whereas those who write a lot of server software probably don't.
I used the term low-level because it does allow low level access to memory and IO.
Browsers should support HTML. Websites should be written in HTML.
These are not fundamentally architecturally different pieces of equipment. If you can't create a website that works adeqautely with all browsers, then you don't deserve to be employed as a web designer.
In my opinion, The problem with spam isn't the time it takes up. The basic issue is it's extremely rude. The first time someone sent a spam, he was punished. I complained to the ISP of the sender when I was receiving one spam every few months.
They're using a resource that I provide for communication with friends and trying to sell me something. It's just extrmely bad manners.
The exploits appeared not to exist before they were reported and announced. Now they do. This is not such a problem, since there is a patch available.
However, it does make me suspicious of the dogma of some white hat hackers, that black hats may already know about vulnerabilities so there's no reason not to give full exposure.
Now tell me, what is ONE thing you can do in C that you can't do in another language?
Compile a piece of C code pathologically designed to break a C++ compiler.
But less specifically, if your requirements are:
Fast.
Maintainable.
Capably of accessing memory directly.
Portable to different architectures.
Widely understood by programmers.
C or C++ are the only reasonable choices.
Assembler is not portable. Nor is it very maintainable.
There are a few languages that will allow explicit memory operations, but most of them do not.
Out of these, C is the most widely understood and the most widely ported. There are probably several embedded processors that don't have a port of C++ or pascal. Since C is also one of the most widely understood low level languages, the argument for any other low level language is weak. Hence, if you are forced to make a choice, the only choice is C.
It's called irony. The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.
I suggest you tell the world about this essential tool. Or at least everyone in the US. It's very useful, and it will help them understand why many other English speaking nations often appear to be saying the opposite of what they mean.
I don't think that's it. They're packaging and distribution company. I bought Suse 6.3 many years ago because I felt the price was reasonable for a set of discs with the data on it.
I couldn't have downlaoded it at the time (over a modem with no CD writer). I probably could have got hold of a copy from somewhere else, but the brand just made it seem like a safer purchase.
Even now it's more convenient to buy than to download and burn, as long as the price is right.
I believe they will consider the website to be a public performance. Sounds like a stretch to me, but what do I know?
I think people worry too much about this though. A lot of mods to GPL web software are publically available. A lot of modified software under other free licences is also publically available. Fora lot of people, if they get something for free, they feel obligated to give something back
Where I live, the speedometer is allowed to over-read by 10%, but is not allowed to under read at all. Since most cars will over read slightly (it means they can claim better mileage), this does mean your speedometer is probably reading substantially more than the limit.
Hopefully this isn't going to succeed

Textbooks With EULAs

Because I hate with a passion any device that has been designed with a feature that has no purpose other than to reduce its utility.
I think other people are going to object to buying a book that they know is going to effectively cease to exist after an arbitrary time limit. Especially because an actual textbook has value. It can be resold, or it can be kept. This gives more choice. Choice is valuable.
He doesn't deserve to get paid for every time his music is performed.
What he does deserve is some fair reward for the work he put into it and for the benefit society gets out of it.
At the moment we have a problem. Most people think there's nothing wrong with making a few copies and giving them away. And if they think it's reasonable then they're going to do it, and get angry if they're stopped.
Many artists and publishers (publishers include record labels and movie companies here) think that this is costing them money. Publishers need to realise that people are going to do what they want to do, and the law needs to be adapted to accomodate this. The law also needs to be adjusted to allow a fair reward for publishers and artists.
Support Fair Use! In fact, first thing after school today I'm going to go buy a CD, and rip, rar, and torrent it. I encourage everyone else who supports Fair Use to do the same.
Uhhmm.. That's called "copyright infringement". Fair use (or fair dealing) is a little different. It usually involves not copying and distributing the entire file, and typically involves copying a portion of a work for private use, parody, or review.

NASA's Shuttle Plans

Presumably then, the trick is to make a reusable first stage. Then we put satelites and anything else we want to keep up there in a tin can, and we can have a lightweight shuttle-like vessel to get the crew back. Or just an Apollo capsule.
Getting something down to ground from 100km is a lot easier than getting something from LEO to 100km. It makes sense to handle all the reusable stuff at this level.

No. It's not horrible. It's irritating.
It's simply rude and there's no way to stop it.

Okay. But workarounds for bugs is one thing. Targetting at specific bug and non-compliance is another thing entirely.

No.
It's about discussion. People will comment. Read responses. Learn. It's all good, albeit frustrating for some.
No. It's also about imported games and unlicenced games. That's why those are disallowed as well.

Non-GPL code can be added to GPL code, as long as the non-GPL code allows all the requirements of the GPL to be met.
Hopefully it should be possible to distribute and use software under the terms of both licences.

I would agree, but it seems most countries do something similar.
If it didn't have any positive effect, you;d have thught that a few of these countries would abolish it.
