In my experience people only claip in unison if there is a leader. The difference between this idea and clapping is that with clapping you always follow the same person, or few people, ie those near you. With this you randomly choose other people anywhere in the audience, which spreads out the comparisons properly.
Hmm, and some of us are still disappointend that our old click feel cherry keyboards have finally died and we can't find adequate replacements anywhere. Not used a new keyboard in about 5 years that didn't feel cheap.
If nobody knows where the data is stored, is there not a problem with recovery if some of the system goes down? Extending that, if part of the system only goes down, and only certain peoples information is unobtainable, all of a sudden people know where it's stored...
Not ISPs, top level bandwidth providers. The people who laid the transatlantic (for example) cables in the first place, and who maintain them.
Just suggesting a qualification on what IamTheRealMike said, I know absolutely nothing about this myself.

Something similar happened to me the other day, I was browsing away and something popped up, it was one of those annoying "Do you want to install this" windows in IE. Of course by an extreme and infuriating coincidence the "Yes" button was right over the link I was trying to click.
After that even though I disabled the bar that it had installed Explorer was crashing under xp and I couldn't browse anything, took me a good amount of wasted time trying to track it down and get rid of it.
hmm, didn't think there was a massive size difference, I just don't find the ps2 controllers comfortable.
With you on the gamecube ones though, my only gripe is that the analogue with digital override L and R (or whatever they've named them) buttons seem a bit weak in analogue mode, more resistance would be nice.
I haven't had a joystick in years... definitely good for flight sims though.
Took me ages to persuade a friend that using mouse look in quake was a sensible thing to do! Before that he'd used mouse move and had no real view direction control. He tried it eventually and has never looked back. I've yet to find a console control setup that was as easy to do the equivilent of mouse look on, most console games, at least until recently, seemed to still not have particularly easy looking around by default.
A good argument for switching would be so you don't have to have an illegal operating system on your computer!
Now, I admit, "have to" is maybe pushing it a little, but if you want to upgrade you either have to, or you pay a lot... I don't know how the stats work out on this, but most people as far as I can tell opt for the former.
Not having coded similar apps in VC++ and C++ builder I couldn't comment on the performace penalty point. However I'd suggest that most people using C++ builder aren't too bothered about the speed, they use it more because it's a better, and in many ways therefore faster, environment to develop applications in.
VC++'s optimisation has also caused my more problems breaking my code than borlands... though it could be argued that that's from my poor code rather than their poor optimiser.
A fair point, and obviously it's an arguable issue. I'd suggest that the difference might be whether refusing to buy from them will have any effect on the activity you're complaining about etc etc.
Personal choice:) It's more a question of the effect a comment like that can have on other peoples reactions, rather than their thought out decisions.
It has to be said that that's completely irrelevent to someone buying the book, or at least should be, surely one should buy a book based on the quality of the product, not on who's writing it? Let him be punished for his "other" activities through the appropriate channels... even paedophiles have a right to make a living.

If they're not connected to anything then how are they going to synchronise however you approach that syncronisation?
Clearly this idea will only work if it was possible to do it in some way originally, this being just a different way of doing it.

True, but on the other hand many students will have easy access to cs department cpu servers.
I've only ever seen one person use gaol instead of jail.
But I wouldn't argue it was wrong to use it... seems fine to me, no uglier than jail.

Never heard of anyone use photoshop as a verb.
Xerox I rarely hear in the UK, but I do occasionally. Kleenex very very rarely, but often by americans.
Hoover almost every day, in the UK that is.
Depends on where in the world you are really.

Yet another imbecile shoveling shit against the "TERRORIST LEFT".
It's very easy to say equivilent things about your own "ideas".
Many people are against wars after thinking hard about it. You, presumably, have not thought about it.
I haven't either, but I haven't yet decided whether I support these wars or not.

A good point made! I rarely play console games except when I play them multiplayer.
Still find that the quality of each little display is annoying though, much prefer playing counterstrike online, it has to be said.
I actually thought the playstation controller was horrible, the digital controls were just nasty and the analogue ones were poorly positioned.
:P
The N64 controllers I sortof got used to.
I do like the gamecube's controller though, fits my hands perfectly... and I don't have small hands, maybe it's just the way I hold it
Not used the xbox, but it *looks* uncomfortable (not that that means much)
Well no indeed, my java coding has never needed one. But there's always a time to start :)
I certainly use eclipse anyway, and it's had some very good reviews recently.
Yes yes, and 2k's better than that. This could go on forever.
BeOS rules!
Even RISC OS could rule... though after using it again recently I have my doubts about that one.
eclipse[.org] is good if you don't need a gui designer, as it doesn't have one.

Qt isn't all that hard to code for, documentation could do with improvement, and a nice ide always helps.
I'm a great fan of C++ builder though and an MS takeover would be a real shame.
