so for (i = 1; j > 0; i++) will get you your infinite loop. You can't have i > 0 since at 2^32 it will flip around again. Oh, and you can shortcut it with for(;;).
I have a three button (2 + scroll) mouse, and for reading long pages I don't use it. Instead I hold down shift and press the down arrow to get a nice smooth scrolling. You should try it sometime. If it scrolls faster than you read then you can press shift+up arrow to slow it down.
However, going back to a single button mouse quickly drove me crazy. Ctrl-click is simply NOT good enough for context menus.
Incidentially, I tried the MS mouse you have but had problems with it loosing its bluetooth connection, and the same with its replacement. I guess they could have just both been faulty but after two duds I went with a logitech instead.
Rather than a hardware solution, just measure dx and dy, and if dx/dy > 1.5 then they're scrolling horiz. And if it is less than.67 they're scrolling vert. Otherwise they're being a pain and should be ignored;-)
That way photoshop will only have to tell osx to disable the 'straight line scrolling' for correct behaviour (perhaps re-enabling it if crtl is held down).

Words occuring 156 times I would expect a well read person to know, though to be honest I hadn't heard of it. For comparison, 'decontaminated' occurs a similar number of times, and 'Zygmunt' about four times as often.
Certainly it is a hellova rare word. On my corpus of English it occurs exactly twice, always as a modifier of clown:
2.Lor . My Lord , the roynish Clown , at whom so oft, Edward , and not much unlike one of Shakespeare 's roynish clowns.
Even if you read constantly you would have been unable to have finish reading my corpus by now, and even if you had read both those sentences I doubt you'd be able to discern a useful meaning of 'roynish' from them. scabby indeed...

Hmmm, I'm unconvinced. Unless the marketing _really_ has won me over!?
Say I'm running some program. Doom, gimp, whatever. A dual CPU will essentially be a waste of time, agreed? I'll have one CPU working at 100% while the other sits idle.
Say instead I'm multi-tasking, perhaps running povray in the background while I surf, check email and the like. Now, my understanding is that the first CPU will be running at 100% running povray, so the second CPU will essentially be running the event loop and so handle all of the graphical redraws etc. In this scenario the dual-cpu setup will feel faster than a single fast CPU since I won't have to wait for povray to be switched out. One of the other people who replied said this was incorrect, and that a decent OS will set the priority of povray so low that it will switch out fast.
So... when does a dual-cpu setup win over a single-cpu at twice the clock speed? I guess if both processors are going at full speed the dual-cpu will win since the pipelines being cleared won't matter so much, same for cache misses, etc. But in any other scenario I get the single fast CPU winning.
Well, Lisa and OS7 don't really count since they did fairly well given the size of the market. The market for $10k home PCs in 1980 was a little small, and cooperative multitasking was a godsend compared to the task-switching in 6.08. As for the Newton, wasn't it doing fairly well when it got canned.
But thinking a little further, ADB wasn't adopted by x86 (though USB is remarkably similar), nor NuBus, and SCSI is slowly dying as SATA relagates it to only the really high-end. OS in the firmware never got anywhere, etc, etc.
Still, their hit rate is better than most. I mean, apple didn't invent the MP3 player, but they came up with the ipod before the average guy had heard of MP3 players -- they may not be first, but they do get to new markets fast.
Because I really would rather have two underperforming CPUs in my computer instead of one fast one.
I mean, dual proc is really nice for making a desktop system interactive since it drops latency to essentially zero, but you've got to have the speed there for when you need it too. The 1GHz via feels slower than a 1GHz intel CPU.
Something that would be really cool, though probably technically hard to do, is to get a decent processor and run it with a VIA or similar as the second CPU. That way you can cut about $100 off the price of a SMP system while still getting the fast response times from dual CPU. I mean, the acronym calls it SMP right? So AMP must be possible. Right?
Sure, LiveCDs have been around for a long time. But LiveCDs as a way of trying out a new graphical environment without having to commit to it?
I guess if you're talking about coming from windows that's true with Knoppix. But say I'm a happy KDE user with a working gnome 2.8 environment. I don't really want to install 2.10 just to give it a whirl, and with a live CD I don't have to.
Sure, this is easy. Anything which can be simulated on a universal turing machine.
While 100% accurate, it is a cumbersome definition that is hard to explain to people. I prefer jeti's solution that 100% software cannot infringe (+ the patch from nmos for a computer).
When KDE's last beta was announced on slashdot, many people commented that a live CD was a really cool way of showing off the new system. Now we see Gnome taking this really cool feature out of KDE and incorporating it.
That is why we need to keep two desktops around. Whenever either one invents something cool, both get it. (Friendly) compertition seems by far the best form of improving software.
Sure they do, i think it is one of the most popular combos since the mini came out. Google will find more. I have mythfrontend installed on my wife's iMac, it works fine.
The combo I personally use is x86 backend and xbox frontend. The controller for the xbox is a bit of a pain, but otherwise it works well.
LOL! Most MBs don't have many USB hubs. Mine has three, but I understand newer machines have four. Say you can fit four of these devices to a USB hub before saturating it, I think I'll be limited to sixteen channels simultaneously. Oh, and you'll have to have a decent RAID setup for recording them all. Aren't you lucky mythtv supports slave servers?:-)
PS: Crazy as recording 400 channels is, it seems much less crazy now than it did a few weeks ago. I run mythtv for my family to potentially three clients simultaneously, and now the neighbours access it via wifi, so I could easily see the need for half-a-dozen tuners in a machine.
Yeah, I have it working. I downloaded a patch to ivtv from somewhere (first hit on google) and it works. Too soon to say if it is stable, because I've only just put it in (to replace a cx88 based tuner).
There are some companies that will sell you a fine box 100% set up with mythtv for you. To pick one I like, solarpc.com. But if you want to sacrifice an existing box, then have a look at KnoppMyth, which will make installation almost as simple as putting the CD in the drive and hitting install.
Or just buy a card with multiple tuners. My pvr500 has two, but I've heard of cards with four! That way you don't have to have an ugly USB device outside the case.
Not to take away from what Plextor has done though, this looks like it might be the solution for some people.
Hmm, that existed once, I'm sure of it... I think it was PSP7 though...
However, a large part of Corel's contributions to wine was support for their internal libraries, so I would expect it to run better than photoshop in wine. Especially since IIRC Alexandre was paid by corel to do the port, and he is still working on wine.
Checks the appdb... version 5 is gold, 7, 8 are silver, and 9 is bronze... I guess the library is slowly diverging...:-(
Nah, Corel sold their whole linux division, including corel linux, some years ago. Not long after they'd poured enough hours into wine to make it run 'word perfect' properly. The people who bought corel linux renamed it Xandros and hired most of Corel's old linux programmers.
It's actually quite a nice product if you're looking for a desktop where duplicate applications have been removed and everything conforms to standard guidelines.

The syntax is for (init; terminate; iterate)
so for (i = 1; j > 0; i++) will get you your infinite loop. You can't have i > 0 since at 2^32 it will flip around again. Oh, and you can shortcut it with for(;;).
It might be easy to shoot down their arguments, but that doesn't make it worthwhile...

He means only expensive ones, like your super drive, will work.
BTW, I thought the superdrive only did -R and -RW? At least, that's what I recall the box saying. I've never tried putting any other media in it.
Because I really would rather have two underperforming CPUs in my computer instead of one fast one.
