Yeah Petzold is a must have volume, if you want to learn MFC though then I would thouroughly reccoment "Inside Visual C++" by David Kruglinski. It has to be said that most of the Microsoft Press books are pretty good when it comes to windows development.
However I must say that this is about the most useless Ask Slashdot I have seen in a while, it is so insanely easy to find an answer to this question on the web that the author must be either incredibly lazy, incredibly desperate for that post accepted karma boost or incredibly feckless.
Interesting to note that the MSNBC article also claims (erroneously) that the ruling that bundling IE with windows violated the sherman act was thrown out. Does anyone else find it a bit troubling that they use their own news company to put an even better spin on this news than there should be?
Croft prefers the 9mm pistols strapped prominently to her hips, wielding them against robots, commandos, even supernatural creatures of yore. Only in the movie, she never runs out of ammo.
In the game her 9mm pistols never run out of ammo either. Obviously you spent more time holding down the '0' key to get a good angle for a brest or butt shot than playing.
The article is very clear about it I am afraid, you are mad, loopers, round the twist, insane, cuckoo and utterly bonkers. It is best for all concerned if you learn to live with it and visit a psychiatrist.
If you had checked the page you would see the results are split between clustered and non clustered. Win2k/SQL Server/COM+ wins on all counts and it has all the top 10 price/performance slots to boot.
Well since the language used for Irish uses just 18 of the 26 letters of the english alphabet and gets by just fine I assume it wouldn't matter that much. For the record the missing letters are j, k, q, v, w, x, y and z
Well hauppage have a free plugin to record to MPEG-1 on this page. Date is Jan 2001 which is after the patent was filed though im pretty sure there were pre-release versions available for a while. Anyone know for sure? Also in this version you have to watch the channel you record but they mention that as a planned feature. Would be interesting to see if the first version was available before the patent was filed.

"In other words, if we could replace the commercial software industry with free software, we would save businesses $175 billion annually."
And also cost software companies $175 billion annually so the total gain for businesses is 0, some gain some lose, it would also put 1.35 million people out of work and with $175 billion less being spent anually you have economic slowdown. Money saved is no good to the economy, but money spending is what makes for a vibrant and thriving economy.
"But a recent article in Presstime, the house organ of the American Association of Newspapers, reported that a typical newspaper gets about 22 percent of its revenues from readers, while spending 12 percent on paper and ink, 6 percent on running the presses, and 13 percent on delivery and distribution. That's every penny the newspaper gets from its readers plus another 9 percent of its revenue going to expenses that virtually disappear on the Web."
I think that it is fair to say that paper, presses, ink and distribution costs vanish on the internet. Please moderators don't mod up a speed poster for a quote unless you check he was correct first. I look forward to seeing that post -1 Trolled into oblivion where it belongs.
The simple reason is it is a lot easier on the developers to refer to it by the code name. When you are working on something a lot it gets annoying to have to keep quoting version numbers, the version numbers are easier on people in the outside world but internally it is easier to have a code name. Plus as an extra added bonus coming up with names for stuff is fun, so this way you can do that for every version instead of just the first
"As a UVa grad, let me point out that the class in question here is generally regarded as a complete "gut" class."
Heh I thought as much as soon as I realized it was a class on "How Things Work". It is hard to imagine anyone having a much respected qualification on such a subject. Not to mention the fact that the essays in question were only 1500 words long. I guess he never got someone to submit a paper on "How jocks writing term papers works" or he would have been onto their game long ago:)
Computer code is often used as an expression of your programming abilities. Every interview a programmer does will almost
certainly require them to write a piece of code so that the interviewer can adequately assess their programming skills. Just
like the a poet will publish his poetry so that others may enjoy his abilities, and scientists publish research papers so that
the world can see their insights programmers use their code to show their abilities. How can I express my programming genius
if I cannot show others my code?

The US have been allowed to visit their detained personnel and also have been allowed to bring them supplies. The chinese are not preventing this from happening contrary to what you suggest in your post.

Ok my physics is pretty rusty but I always thought that the reason for light bending between mediums was that the light slowed down going from the less dense medium to the denser medium. Does this mean that the light accelerates when it goes into this new substance and if so is the light then travelling faster than light?
Yes but the Intel requirements for sponsoring such a project require that it be 100% philantropic which they define as meaning totally not for profit. So what if the data gets patented as long as it is made available for free public use.

More importantly how is a patent from Europe which does not allow software patents be used to prevent the distribution of a piece of software?

Lets now go and take that quote in context:
"But a recent article in Presstime, the house organ of the American Association of Newspapers, reported that a typical newspaper gets about 22 percent of its revenues from readers, while spending 12 percent on paper and ink, 6 percent on running the presses, and 13 percent on delivery and distribution.

June or July was the projected release date and all word from blizzard to date indicates that they are running on schedule if not slightly ahead.
But is refractive index not defined as the amount light bends going from a vaccuum into a medium?
