Apparently, cockroaches do not wear tinfoil hats, as they are not smart enough to be suspicious of box-shaped circuit boards with an antennae sticking out.
Well, not yet, anyway. This strategy kills cockroaches that trust these devices. Soon, only those cockroaches that don't trust robots will be left to reproduce. My guess is that it takes less than a year for a cockroach population to become immune to such tricks.
Another good book is
The Non-Designer's Design Book by Robin Williams. It gives a good introduction to use of color, form, and other design principles.

...the central sections of all of Stephenson's novels have been excellent; it is endings with which he displays the greatest difficulty. And the ending is still eight or nine hundred pages distant.
I agree whole-heartedly. This is Stephenson's big problem. He can't end a book! His stories are inspired; but by the end they just spiral out of control and leave the reader disappointed. I guess with him it's the journey, not the destination...
The thing that concerns me is that he calls this the Baroque "cycle". Does that mean that it never ends? I don't want to spend my time reading 1800+ pages and then be left hanging out to dry.
IMHO, the worst problem with STL is the compiler warnings and error messages. It's very rare that you write code that compiles the first time. When you do make a mistake, it's very difficult to figure out what went wrong. For example:
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\functional(86) : error C2784: 'bool __cdecl std::operator &,const class std::multiset &)' : could not deduce template argument for 'const class std::multiset &' from 'const class S'
A while back I came across a Perl script that translated these error messages into something readable, but it seems to be that the compiler should do this for you. Maybe gcc is better...
6. Defendants shall include a warning that the Charlie Pride CD is not designed to work in DVD players or Computer CD-ROM players
The first DVD players didn't have the ability to play normal audio CDs. This feature was added by manufacturers in order to set their products apart from other DVD players. A "value-added" thing.
If these copy-protected CDs become widely used in the music industry, then it won't be long before Sony, Panasonic, etc. will make players and CD-ROM drives that can read these disks.
The consumer demand is too high to ignore.

The desktop metaphor described by this article opens up some very interesting possibilities. It allows you to try out new technologies that are just not feasible today.
For example: what if you
don't have a file system? Your computer's storage could be a database, and the desktop could be the user's interface to an arbitrary subset of data objects. Or, how about a file system that organizes data by logical grouping instead of folders?
Attention all PDA and phone manufacturers: we are sick and tired of carrying around a PDA and a phone. Got it? Put them together, preferably in a form smaller and lighter than a small boulder, and priced not too much higher than the two things separately. You'll be rich.
Handspring is coming out with the best Palm phone I've seen yet. It's called the Treo, and information about it can be found here.
Another option is to sell your project to your employer. You get your paycheck, so it benefits you. The company gets a faster time-to-market, plus a developer who knows the code inside and out.
I prefer procedural programming, but I still use C++. It's not a contradiction.
C++ supports *both*.
In my opinion, that's one of the reasons the language has been so successful. It allows a programmer to use the programming model that best solves the problem.

2) World opinion of the US is at an all time low.
And? I care why?
Because the low opinion of the US is what causes people to strap bombs to themselves and fly planes into tall buildings.So programmers won't die off until AI matures, and AI won't mature without programmers. Beautiful!

I'm willing to bet that this toggles the binary mode.
That way you can read the time in HH:MM:SS, and then switch over to binary in time to scare your coworkers...
