Yeah, I think C# is MS's way to convert everyone to VB.NET.
I think the opposite.
C# is made easier than C++. VB.NET is *very* rewritten in.NET to be much more object oriented *and* easy to move from to C#.
But, of course, due to the nature of.NET, it's equally easy to move from C# to VB.NET.
However, C# wasn't written to match VB.NET. VB.NET, on the other hand, went throught one of its greatest rewrites so far to match C#. Make up what you want from that.
Well, that does it. I'll just have to keep a low profile then so I'm hopefully not be discovered until winter, when the peeps at Jukkasjärvi builds their annual ice hotel. I'll hide there until all this mess has cooled (no pun intended!) down a bit. Hopefully, hiding there will confuse the NY executives enough to not find me. Or do they look in ice hotels too? aaah
An executive in New York promised if this is indeed part of the film that they would be punishing anyone and everyone that downloads the film or distributes it to the full extent of the law
*shivers in fear*
Hopefully, no executives from New York dressed in black will come into my innocent house in northern Sweden to punish me to the maximum extent of the law.:-O
I read an article about JMF not going to support mp3 anymore. An inch below: "Visual Studio.NET! Try it out now!". If you didn't know better, and had watched too much X-Files, you'd think it all was a clever marketing scheme from a Slashdot/Microsoft conspiracy to get developers switching to.NET.:-)
Come back when it projects holograms. If such holograms can then be downloaded from internet, we know where that's headed to. R2 units projecting pr0n.;-)
Get CoolEdit and some headphones. Use its Brainwave Synchronizer filter and experiment with alpha, delta waves (or whatever) and there you go! Pretty neat stuff actually.
Yeah, I was slightly amused by that too. By reading the picture texts, you didn't get too much confidence in the article: "I saw it fall from above roof height" and "The stone may have come from Mars"... *sigh*:-)
It wasn't even the size of her hand! Come on, Slashdot!
Yeah, come on Slashdot! We want to see BLOOD like in the news channels! Try again when you have some news about a meteorite crushing a girl. That would be something... mwahahaha!:-P
I agree - I found Grim Fandango far more enjoyable than Monkey Island 4 for example. It's an original game with a lot of personality and extremely well done overall. I don't think a game I've ever played have had such a pleasant finale even if you knew all along how the game would end.
The noticeable film noir style makes this game a truly unique masterpiece that no fan of any of LucasArts adventure games should miss.
Too bad the genre LucasArts are putting the least effort at is adventure games - the genre I think they do the best job at. There's litterally no competition in the area and I'd like to see this genre reinvented like what happened to CRPG's.
Ah, sorry for not checking it before guessing.:P I assumed they'd always do this to improve stability after releasing major updates. Sounds like the logical thing to do to me as long as they have the resources to do it.
They're also simultaneously working on a 1.0.1 branch. Mozilla 1.0.1 RC2 was released a time ago (while they were working on 1.1 as well), and is still the current 1.0.x build. Mozilla 1.1 does NOT succeed 1.0.1, as evident by the "RC 2" status. 1.0.x is simply a separate branch for stability, while 1.1, 1.2, etc is for new technology and features. I'm pretty sure they'll go on with a 1.1.x branch even after 1.2 is released as well.
In other words, it's not as simple as the Mozilla team moving from 0.9.x to 1.0 and proceeding to 1.1 and 1.2.
Ok, now go make those 50 Gb beasts writeable for a really small cost and include the drives with new PC's so we can finally move on from those bloody floppy disks!
"Stan Liebowitz, an economist studying the effects of file-trading on the music industry, says in an article in Salon that new numbers have convinced him that the decline in CD sales may be partially attributable to MP3 downloading"
Well, *of course* it's due to mp3 downloading. The question they should ask themselves is: WHY are the mp3 downloaded so much? Because we don't care about the artists and like to get free music? Or because we don't think there is any other options because of high prices where a big percentage does NOT go to the artist?

MS is probably not trying to get people to use VB specifically, but, yes, *that* is safe to assume.

The first one was, and according to the story, I'm assuming the second will be as well. :)
Now that you mention it.. Yes, you're right. :-P

If not, that's just speculation from your side. But I get your point - a good movie such as the two towers *should* be watched on cinema.

up2date works too
:-(
Yeah, in the 5% of cases were the update server isn't unavailable due to "extremely heavy traffic".
But perhaps you can set it to auto-reconnect, I've not looked into it that much.

Now, what made that post "+1: Informative"?
They're also simultaneously working on a 1.0.1 branch. Mozilla 1.0.1 RC2 was released a time ago (while they were working on 1.1 as well), and is still the current 1.0.x build.

In other words - read one per day, and you'll have P4 2.8 GHz reviews for two weeks.
Yeah, they'll probably be much happier with the discussion in this one. :-)

Noticed I missed a word there - should be "of course it's *partially* due to mp3 downloading". I'm pretty sure it's not completely because of mp3's. :)

Yeah, I guess the same designer came up with that idea, that figured out surfing the web was the easiest way to do it.
Is it just me or is anyone else noticing that slashdot is posting some old (one day) stories.
Perhaps the editors are typing with their eyes?
