Problem is, it's not exactly junk food that is doing it all. My gf is overweight, and never eats any significant amounts of junk food. I eat junk food constantly, and am as skinny as a rail.
I'd say it's more about activity. (you can only burn so many calories through sex, and other than sex, we're pretty sedentary people)
Not exactly - a test case was written that did it in exactly 28 files, and considering that block sizes were significantly smaller back then, it might've actually been even MORE common in old days.
So, what are you if you hardly ever put your fingers on the home row, type with primarily three to four fingers (index/pointer on both hands, occasionally throwing in the ring fingers, and very rarely the pinkies) your hands hover well off the keys, but the only time you look at the keyboard is to make sure your hands are actually over the keyboard and not about to smack down on the desktop? (and I can type well over 100 wpm if I am copying something, over 120 if I'm familiar with the material i am copying, and about 80-90 at normal, unless i'm sitting here trying to think of exactly what I want to say, at which point it's probably like 3 wpm, while I type a few words then remember where the hell i was going heh)
Hm. Went to their site, it told me it wanted me to isntal a browser plugin.... alrighty then, install it, it completely freezes the browser upon installation, which i have to kill from taskman, then it completely freezes explorer, which i kill with taskman, and then it comes back and says that the plugin is not installed, please install it.
Well, I didn't have a lot to say for it. It seems to me like it's very easy to write some seriously godawful stuff in PHP, and although most of the people that have used the stuff I've written consider me brilliant, if they were programmers, they'd probably be all like "WTF?" looking at it.
But then, I look at most everyone else's PHP code, and it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, so I guess we'er all in the same boat there.
I'll make a case for PHP. It makes a rather fine language to write things that are best output in HTML. Like dynamic HTML pages. Kinda like what it was originally built for.
It's easy to learn, if you're familiar with the C syntax...
Adding all the other garbage to it is an Epic Fial.
Interesting article you've pointed out, however it seems to loosely indicate that this set of file dialog mods is primarily useful to developers, as it does not extend the existing box for everything else.
Not exactly - how is it that you could, in Windows, change -all- applications that use the standard File->Open box, to use a new one tha you've written?
I don't know a lot about windows coding, but I'd expect that if it were possible, there'd be a lot of replacement File->Open boxes out there.
IE 6 supported PNGs, but not transparent PNGs, and DirectX supported display of transparency, so you had to make up some horrendous CSS hack to get windows to pipe the PNG through DirectX before displaying on screen. it was almost accidental that it worked, not a clever side effect of a functional object model.
Anyone who doesn't understand how incredibly awesome the SOM/DSOM (and WPS) were, seriously needs to install OS/2 and Stardock's Object Desktop. (yes, they made an "Object Desktop" for Windows that had some of the functionality, but it's nowhere near as awesome)
All this talk about things that have recently been done, makes me want to go and get eComStation... unfortunatly, I don't even have the hard drive space to tinker with Linux:(
PS3 Mod tools are on the Unreal Dev Network page. The limitations to PS3 mods are pretty substantial, though. (no imported sound/music, can't combine code and other resources..)
Since a lot of programming tasks these days are done in interpreted scripting languages, like PHP, and my current projects are all in UnrealScript, being able to optimize things properly within those languages can be quite effective.
I'm so goddamn frustrated with Unreal Tournament 3, I'm about to damn near chuck the entire game code, and start from scratch just to build my mod. It's so needlessly complex, I'm surprised it runs on -any- hardware.
They are all just quake 2 or quake 3 clones with replaced graphics, as far as i can tell. Well, Nexuiz implemented some of the thinsg that don't suck about Unreal Tournament.. but still.. pretty much just a Q2 clone.
The engine has enough stuff in it that it can bring my 3Ghz Core 2 Duo to it's knees, though.. but the art pipeline isn't near good enough to make it look like it should be doing that.
Verizon and Sprint had generators operating many of their cell sites into the 3rd day. Unfortunatly, after the 3rd day, gasoline supplies began to run out, and the gas stations were pretty much all closed, unless you could bring it in from the nearest places outside the blackout zone, which to where I was was about 90 miles.
All CDMA systems have power backup facilities built into their equipment. ALL of them have battery power to some degree, and have interfaces for generators to be connected to them as well.
Slashdot Mirror
look in the program settings, it's right there
go to google enter "avg free" click "download".
I thought slashdot people were supposed to be smart.

Now the road has been paved for Duke Nukem Forever to come out, with Chinese Democracy as the soundtrack.

Wise? The whole thing looks kludgy and a horrible security issue.

erm, dude, IBM hasn't turned out a PC in over a decade...

Agreed with this. Anyone know how to get Second Reality to run on a modern comp/OS ?
Alright, well, maybe code a new one that doesn't just kinda resemble it (Windows explorer) but actually works like it.
Please, Please, PLEASE, IBM, port the Workplace Shell to Linux.
WPS + compiz/beryl = Teh Awesomenest.

I'm sorry, I was referring to the "northeast" power outage, that affected Ohio, Michigan, New York, and bits of Canada.
That's odd, I just opened up my 1.5GB Swap file in VI (win32) and it only took about 30 seconds or so.
