From the Patent 1. A system for determining if two operands point to different locations in memory, the system comprising: a compiler for receiving source code and generating executable code from the source code, the source code comprising an expression comprising an operator associated with a first operand and a second operand, the expression evaluating to true when the first operand and the second operand point to different memory locations.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the compiler is a BASIC-derived programming language compiler.
3. The system of claim 1, wherein the operator is IsNot.
4. The system of claim 1, wherein the compiler comprises a scanner, a parser, an analyzer and an executable-generator.
The patent only applies to the BASIC language.
This is like me patenting the color Blue only in my living room.
I guess things like having a Cray or two, or a (couple of) robotics lab(s), or chip manufacturing clean room doesn't really count.
The statistic that I love is the computer/student ratio. 5,347 students 466 computers = 9:100.
Jeez, when I was there (85-89) I think the *libraries* had more than that. Mostly Mac SE's & Mac II's at the time for public use, but the CS dept had tons of unix boxes, and PC's were also all over the place.
The others KB articles are summary articles with the above, or other Int32 overflow errors.
The VTDAPI.vxd was fixed in 6/1998 and the SNMP error was fixed in SP4 (4/1999).

SpamAssassin 3.0 Released
·
· Score: 3, Informative
First of all, there is no install. This is a pure source release. Quite common, and after a little bit of testing, (you wouldn't blindly put this on a production box, would you:-) it's quite easy.
Your points... 1. Extract it where ever you want. 2. So? PPM and CPAN are simple. 3. or you could use the docs on the web site you were looking at.
4. Step 10 does *not* require a D drive, the -D is for Debug mode. It spits out everything that SpamAssassin is doing, i.e. what config files, what db's what tests are being run. Actually quite usefull.
The GetTickCount function retrieves the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the system was started. It is limited to the resolution of the system timer. To obtain the system timer resolution, use the GetSystemTimeAdjustment function.
DWORD GetTickCount(void);
Parameters This function has no parameters. Return Values The return value is the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the system was started.
Remarks The elapsed time is stored as a DWORD value. Therefore, the time will wrap around to zero if the system is run continuously for 49.7 days.
If you need a higher resolution timer, use a multimedia timer or a high-resolution timer. To obtain the time elapsed since the computer was started, retrieve the System Up Time counter in the performance data in the registry key HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA. The value returned is an 8-byte value. For more information, see Performance Monitoring. ...
So the offical SDK tells you *not* to use GetTickCount for uptime, but to use HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA.
Just a case of RTFM, for all parties involved, including the Microsofties...
Basically, I'm looking at archiving my 1,800+ cd on to hard drive and storing them in a box (well, lots of boxes) some where and not having to go fetch the one I want to play. Pictures on the TV would be nice, but I want the TV to display the artist/album list. Playing video would be nice, but not necessary.
I'm also not interested in wireless, just wired (I ran cat5e to every room in the house:-).
The HD1000 actually supports HiDef TV at 720p and 1080i. Supposed to be quite nice for showing off your tv. Not so sure how it works with Audio stuff. Linux kernel, developer SDK, looks cool:-) Doesn't look like it's got a lot of umph, however (see the referenced about creating a swap file on a CF card - yuk).
The Play@TV NMP-4000, while having a crappy name, looks like it supports the audio stuff better. It's highest resolution is S-Video out, but that's OK.
Both support digital audio out, which is cool. I certianly would like a comparison site on these, but haven't found any.
Or if either company wants some free advertising, send me a demo unit and I'll write something up!
Anyhow, my girlfriend (er, fiance... gotta get used to that before the wedding) is more important to me than numbing my mind in front of the Xbox. If yours isn't, well, maybe it's time to cut her loose and pursue your real interests.
Too late, just start using wife.
My wife gave me a quite an "interesting" look when I referred to her as my girl friend after the wedding day.
Tried to convince her that it meant that I would always consider her more then just my wife:-)
The information in this article applies to: Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client 4.0 Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client 4.0 Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client 4.0
Aren't Windows 3.1 & NT 4.0 at least 10 years old?
Come on, MS screws up a lot of stuff, but don't troll out on the fact that MS didn't get the internet in the 90's.
The three I've seen are:
- Cue-Ball hits earth
- Explosion w/ rocks
- Explosion in a weird, special effect thingie like what Lucas did to the Death Star in Star Wars 1.1 (the enhanced VHS stuff)
Actually, (after quite a bit of searching, mind you) according to this Fees the fine, while small, would not be insignificant.
They're talking $20 per complaint, after your "free" complaints per month. Which, for the "low" volumne bulk sender( less than 1,000,000 per month), is 1 complaint per month.
So, for the above example, 10 complains - 1 free complaint * $20 is $180. The sign up costs are $375 Application, $500 license, $500 bond.
So after your first month, you've spent $875, bonded $500, e-mailed 500,000 messages, and lost $180.
And somewhere else, I thought read that if your bond drops below half, you have to replace it. So they've effectively created a charge system for spam.
This would be quite nice if they donated some of the bond money to, say, the SpamAssassin Development Team, or maybe SourceForge.
Actually, there are a couple of free IDE's for the.Net world.
Microsoft offers a *FREE* ASP.Net development IDE called ASP.NET Matrix available at www.ASP.Net. It's geared towards code writing, so you don't get a great WYSIWYG HTML tool, but you can do some pretty cool stuff with it.
For a Windows Form IDE, look at SharpDevelop which is currently in Beta release.99b:-). It's open source (GPL) so if it doesn't work, you can fix it. I haven't looked at this one in a little while (beta.95), but it looks like the development team is rolling right along, and in fact, I'll probably download a copy of it today for evaluation. I'm a VS user, but actually write *a lot* of C# test code fragments in TextPad.
I'm sure there are others, but I've actually used those two IDE's (well, three if you count TextPad:-) and would recommend them.
I've been a fan since his first movie but haven't read the LOTR trilogy books...yet.
Slashdot must be excepting atricles from 8 year olds:-).
I have to say 8, because my neighbor's 9 year old has been trudging through the books this summer. She's finishing the third (well, 5 & 6:-) right now.
The cool thing about the trailer is that the stearing is sync'd with the car. So when you back up, the whole unit moves together. None of the "turn the wheel the opposite way" to back up.
Slashdot Mirror
Boy is that f'd up.
Mod me -1 Patent stupid.
Sure, but didn't MS grant an unburdened license for all aspects of the CLI through the Shared Source CLI Implementation (SSCLI)?
SSCLIM
and
CLR
Actually, reading further, they only submitted C# and the CLR to the ECMA. Hmmm.

It's interesting that the "bunch of apps" turn out to be:

Um, actually, with DirecTV TIVO, you *CAN* buy a ppv movie and watch it whenever you'd like, just like it says on the web site.
The PPV purchase screen even tells you this...

5796827 which is IBM's for the hand-shake data transfer.
6104913 IBM's PAN
and
6211799 MIT's on power/data transmission over the body.
Obviously they are building on previous patents, and have come up with an enhancement.
Or the patent office just rubber stamped it
My business DSL from AT&T was getting selectively blocked, so I had to do the same thing.

Lucas might yet escape from his capture by aliens and expose the imposter that created those evil movies.
Most likely the alien is Jar-Jar.
