A key barrier to code reuse is that technology marches on. Many advances render older code either obsolete or, at best, cumbersome. Recent examples might, for example, include adding templates to.NET, which rendered vast tracts of our.NET 1.1 internal class libraries obsolete.
My understanding, from dealing with people in New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (a government department here), is that the copyright laws in China are in fact fine, it's their enforcement that needs attention.
Not sure if you can get a degree in this as such, but given the current job market, how about something that teaches you to say "Would you like fries with that ?" in a really professional way.
If you're looking for a Windows solution, take a look at GBPVR. Free (donations accepted) and excellent. I know the author personally, a good friend of mine.
[shameless plug] We make File Journal, which has a lightening fast search and displays the results in an Outlook 2003 style interface. This means you can group results by folder, date, file type etc. It can find (and restore) delete or renamed files too. Link in my sig if you want to take a look...
To clarify (contradict ?) the headline, Cameron did not direct T3, he helped with some of the character writing though. This helps to explain, I believe, why T3 lacked the impact that T1 and T2 had.
IE is sure to win the browser war In fact, Microsoft has already clearly won the browser war. Even with the advent of Firefox, it still holds ~85 of the browser market. The good thing about them losing around 10% market share to *zilla and derivatives is that it has made MS reform the IE development team who now have a chance to catch up (download manager, better standards support, skins etc etc).
For better or worse, I don't see the Microsoft market share slipping massively (whatever massively means) until they either stop shipping IE with Windows (not going to happen) or Linux rules the desktop (not going to happen any time soon).
Even though you're clearly trolling, I'm gonna reply anyway... Actually it's entirely accurate, install a new copy of word and activate all of its toolbars. They are the default toolbars. Now, you can create your own, add new toolbars (with add-ins), or add buttons to existing toolbars. None of that has been done. What's display is simply all the toolbars that you can, with a few mouse clicks, display in a new installation of Word 2003.
I would doubt many people run a commercial website on their home machine. File Journal is hosted by a New Zealand content management systems provider and they choose Linux.
The point here is not that Windows is not hackable, nor that my machine is 100% secure, just that by taking the most basic precautions, you can reduce your chances of trouble significantly.
I'm gonna keep this comment straight forward and to the point.
I have run Windows XP Professional since its release. I run my box 24x7 connected to a 2MBit cable connection. I use the Windows firewall and have auto-updates downloaded automatically. I have an ftp port open using the Microsoft/IIS ftp server. I have a port open for remote desktop. It's been this way for 2+ years.My box has never been hacked into.
So, now some wise asses can ask for my IP address, sure. But my point is that by taking just the most basic precautions, you reduce your chance of being hacked to just about nothing.
The new firewall may not be perfect, but it will further reduce the number of easy targets, which is a giant step forward.
Well, I got to the website OK. However, trying their torrent link results in "Timeout connecting to peers":-( I tried it several times, all the same. Can somebody with some under-the-hood knowledge tell us, is it possible to slashdot a torrent link ?

Well surprise surprise, another Packt book. Please stop this advertising.

XP SP2. No problems. *yawn*

this article brought to you by the server 'too slow' and the letters K-A-B-O-O-M.
Current wireless tech does not have the bandwidth to play DVDs (unless you DivX them first or something).

[H]ard OCP are currently running a less-than-complementary article about Valve, CS:S and Steam. It's an interesting read.
I get this way after half a dozen beers. Makes my wife want to swear.
I think redhat might argue that open source software can be commercial too.

Insert obligatory Duke Nukem Forever joke here.
If you want to know how badly bloated Word is, check out this unbelievable screen shot.
Non-MS precautions are Norton AV, and Pest Patrol. Also, any software I acquire that I don't trust gets opened in a Virtual PC first.
I do love the fact that stating the facts about my own Windows installation is modded -1 troll. Nice objective /. moderation again...

I run antivirus software too, also I run pestpatrol.

Interesting, thanks.
