1bookstreet.com, nice bookstore.
bookstreet.com... don't go there from work, or be prepared to kill off all browser tasks very quickly.
It's just ridiculous. Looking for a book on herb gardens, but wait! what's this?! I think I'll just buy some porn instead. Right.
If Microsoft continues in this direction and IE begins placing links into a web site that originally didn't have those links, I imagine that consumers could be swayed by other browsers who advertise "View web pages as they were meant to be viewed--take charge of your online experience!"
Honestly, if this does make it to the released version, I think MS is opening itself up to a whole slew of litigation. If a web site can be copyrighted, then altering it without the authors consent could be considered illegal, couldn't it?!
So OpenBSD's about security, not necessarily performance... So how many high-traffic web servers run OpenBSD? How do they overcome the lack of SMTP botteneck? Or do the majority of high-traffic web sites use an SMTP-capable version of BSD?
This could be a killer device, though the referenced device sounds nice, too. Wonder what the final cost will be to consumers, provided it actually makes it to consumers in quantity...
Lord knows whenever I'm using or programming an ActiveX control, I tell it it's a good control, that it has nothing to be ashamed of. After all, who needs insecure ActiveX?!
Apple has patented the design of flowers, spots, and certain colors. They are suing God, forcing him to stop making flora and fauna, spotted animals, and to prevent Him from displaying certain colors in rainbows. Steve Jobs is reported as saying "I'll have His ass!"
through ingeniuty, finding opportunities and building for them, or improving upon ideas? Good lord, this is friggin' ridiculous! Seems like lawyers must have a secret society that infiltrates the board rooms of all companies not wildly succeeding, constantly pushing for litigation. The blood sucking scum.
So most, if not all, of the current Linux apps dynamically conform to the current screen size? Particularaly the command line/curses apps? Just curious...
Very easy to develop new apps for? So there is a compiler/debugger that will allow you to remotely debug apps running on a handheld? Or an on-screen emulator for the target handheld? Not really sure what the state of dev tools is for remote dev/debugging.
Wrong. The next version of CE will support just as many cpu's as the current (and probably more). Perhaps you were thinking about embedded Whistler (or, as it's now known, XP). What IS neat about embedded XP is that XP has been designed from the ground up to be a modular OS, this way the leap from Desktop/Server to embedded version is just a little hop. Very cool stuff coming to the embedded market from MS by year's end:-)
Yes I have and currently do program for CE.
Yes the onscreen emulator requires a solid, professional OS (i.e. win2k/NT4). Quite frankly, doing dev work on anything less in the Windows world is the first sign that you're a masochist!:-)
In dev work for CE's favor, the IDE is free (well, you pay for shipping). Works the way you expect it to (provided you're use to Visual Studio). Includes VC++ and VB.
Try to learn MFC in a hurry? If you consider 2 weeks a hurry, then yeah (this was back in the Win3.1 days, so yes, it was painful). Was by no means an expert at it at the end of the 2 weeks, but was comfortable enough in it to be productive in my job. Don't want to use MFC, then use c++/c and Win32. Don't want to use that? Use VB. Don't want to use that, either? Get another job:-)
All in all, a wonderful, relatively painless coding experience.

Take a looksee at http://research.microsoft.com/ui. Particularaly the Task Gallery link.
While I'm sure most of this crowd despises them, they're doing some pretty cool research projects!
Imagine, a single PS2 sitting in a bare white room. A roar fills the world, and tanks roar around the little console, their turrets facing outward. The voice of God, The new Play Station 2, so powerfull, it's considered a weapon!.
Voice of Sodamned, The new jihad is sponsered, in part, by the new Sony Playstation 2... Kill your enemies and have a great time doing it! I swear by it, and you'll swear at it, infidels!!
.Of course, we'd have to think of something to represent Be too; any Be users know of a candidate?
The BeOS already has a representative--it's a no-show, but in the distance you always see someone jumping up and down trying to catch a BONE in the sky:-/
The Windows logo could be a super-powerup--any other OS mascot that grabs it and consumes it automatically gets superpowers and the entire Windows user base of whining end-users... ok, maybe not this last part.
z> However I discovered that reading from a PDA (in my case Psion) doesn't overly stress my eyes.
PDA's do have nice, sharp screens, for the most part, but I can't imagine reading for pleasure on one! How many tiny, itty-bitty screens does it take to make a book?! Read for five seconds, next page, read for five seconds, next page, etc. Good God, the patience you must have!!!
I'm actually curious about the release of an entire book in PDF format... Will we end up with every user altering sections of the book to fit their idea of how things should have happened? It'll be interesting to see what may come of altered books... Perhaps putting your own thoughts and agendas then distributing it? Authors name on the work and all...

Now lets get on scaling buildings in a single bound.
Ok... they were working on that one.
Ummm, that'd be Paul Allen and Vulcan Northwest (or a spinoff), NOT Microsoft...
Thank You!!! Darn slashdot effect!!

It's MS's fusion of NT and Win 9x/ME. The kernel is NT.
Hmm, I live in your neck of the woods, and I'm paying $37 for 768k down/128k up with a static ip address... methinks you didn't look hard enough!

I never saw the ratings for the Aussie Olympics... didn't something like 10 people watch it?
