It just bugs me when "free market" proponents want to proclaim that the courts are unneccessary in the free market - bull! They are important and the market will not function correctly without them!
I agree with you 100%. Next time these morons bring up this arguement, ask them how they intend to protect intellectual property without courts.
Multiple language support means jack shit to companies. They can use other languages now, but Microsoft shops stick to VB, and if they have a need, write some stuff in C++. It is cheaper for them to have fewer and more mainstream languages in their toolbox. A company will NOT change to Perl.NET or Python.NET if they are already strong in VB skills. Nor will they hire Perl programmers to program Perl.NET.
The multi language support is there to sucker non VB programmers into the Windows fold.
kinetic energy = 1/2 * m * v^2
mass (kg), velocity(m/s), energy(joules)
Asteroid Otawara is 5.5 k across and has an estimated mass of.2*10^15 kg
1/2 * 200,000,000,000,000 * (90,000 * 3600)^2
=10,497,600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 joules
This is the equivalent of 166,628,571,428,571,000 Hiroshima bombs. Thats a big mess:(
http://www.imsa.edu/edu/geophysics/asteroid/energy.html has great info.
But it can. How many of you who have been around the IT industry for a while remember heirachical databases?
My database text book Database System Concepts, (I did this subject at uni in 1987) contained a chapter on heirachical databases. Fortunately the chapter is even available online: Heirachical Databases. If you want to know how to transform XML to a relational DB, read this.
Have a look through the chapter, you will find some AMAZINGLY familiar diagrams. Innovation hey:)
With.NET, things could be so much easier. .NET will allow you to use Linux, or any other.NET compatible platform, to communicate with...
I'm not interested in will, could, should. This the same shit I get from Microsoft. There were problems with SQL Server 6.5, they said 7.0 will fix all my problems. I had problems with 7.0, guess what!!, now SQL 2000 will fix all my problems. Interestingly I get the same sort of responses from Microsloth with reguards to NT and its service packs. I want to write software now, with tools that work and are mature now.
Microsoft has a legal obligation to maximise its profits. Never forget that.
To me this says staff are joining the company but many are also leaving. Why?
Maybe it's time for these executives to re-evaluate their human resources practices. Maybe its time for them to share the wealth. Maybe there is a new morality amongst younger techs and they don't want to work in defence industries. Maybe they are tired of being treated like economic units and being shoved out the door at the first sign of trouble.
maybe, maybe, maybe
But the basis of this article is that people are returning to the defence industries not because they want to but because the "new economy" is in a lull at the moment. Not very healthy don't you think?
From 14 (1981), I knew what I wanted to do. I forced my way into senior maths classes where they did a tiny bit of basic programming. I wrote programs on mark sense cards and submited them. I did anything I could to get computer access.
My parents being unskilled labourer migrants to Austrlia, didn't really understand my choice of career. In fact they hated it. I started my comp. sci. degree against their wishes and with all sorts of nastiness in my family at the time. They wanted me to become a lawyer, doctor or architect, something "decent" like that.
Now, they are so glad I didn't listen to them. I'm in a job I really like and I get paid pretty well. I don't ever see myself being umemployed.
My point is, if the silicon is in your blood, nothing will stop you.
As for all the other guys and grrrrls saying, "yes, there should be more female geeks". I agree and disagree with you. I disagree in that, I don't give a shit what the gender of the geek is. Geekdom transcends race, age, gender, species (on the Internet nobody knows you are a dog) and time (Ada was a geek in a computerless world). On the other hand, I also agree, because I believe that women solve problems in a different way to men and it's a great thing to have different problem solving approaches in a dev team.
When I was doing X25 programming many years ago, we were able to do the same thing, transfer files in Call Request Packets. Since you made sure you never established a call, you could transfer files for free.
I work in a Microsoft shop with the usual stuff, IIS, VBScript, MTS, COM, etc. One thing I have been reading about is writing COM stuff in Java, has anyone tried this? Care to comment please.
"The Company believes the reported unauthorized reconfiguration of the i-opener Internet appliance has not had a material impact on its operating results or general product availability."
So really all these people saying we are going to hurt/sink/kill/etc Netpliance are not correct, and this is from the company themselves.

Based on very little, these individuals crusade as to how this new way revolutionizes everything that came before.
.NET has been released for how long now?
This is the funniest line in the piece. Java has been released for how long now?
Oh thats right, it hasn't.
For me Matt is an Amiga legend. He wrote so much for the Amis, his name is all over the Fish disks like a rash.
Lets see...

I just searched the Vic govt web site. Victorian Labor Senator Jacinta Collins does not exist.
hehe
Ms Jacinta Marie Allan is the only Jacinta.

I used to double space my ramdisk under MSDOS so I could squeeze more into it.
Why can't we do the same to programs in memory? Instead of paging them to disk, compress them. Is this viable?
