They hit the "headquarters" of our monetary power and the headquarters of our military power, why not the headquarters of our political power as well? (that would also make the White House a potential target)
I don't think the last plane was headed for the Pentagon, I think the only reason they sent two planes at the WTC is that they couldn't take out two buildings with one plane.
Is there any trick to sharing the inbox between Pine and KMail? When Pine got through with it, KMail saw lots of garbage messages. If not, do any other text-based mail programs play nicely with KMail?
You could argue, of course, that because Microsoft has been forcing companies to pay over and over just to keep what is basically the same functionality, Microsoft is hurting the economy. That is, they make you buy new office software by making the new product incompatible with the old, although with the new XP stuff, they won't have to bother - they can make you pay over and over without having to come up with new formats.
When companies operate less efficiently, the overall economy suffers. The extreme example is, you could have 100% employment by having people harvesting food and performing other manual tasks that are currently automated.
If you have to pay again for something you already bought (i.e. pay for a new Windows license when you replace your old computer), you are operating less efficiently. Unlike other subscription-based schemes, Microsoft isn't adding any additional value for the subscriber (cable companies, satellite providers, etc. must keep their systems going in order for subscribers to use their services). On the other hand, someone could nuke Redmond and the MS software would still keep going - at least until hit hit the artificially imposed deadline.
I would argue that in the long run, this approach hurts the economy.
Even if you disregard subscription software, though, you could still argue that heavier reliance on open/free software eventually improves the economy, since companies can operate more efficiently - there is a good solid framework for new development and you don't have a single company trying to place barriers to development in order to maintain their monopoly.
Never forget that all that money that Microsoft makes eventually comes out of our pockets - either directly or indirectly.
Then again, you could also argue that I'm full of it.:-)
Is it really "made up for" by the house? You would probably agree that each person's vote should carry roughly equal weight, as it does (roughly) in the house. If you consider the house to be apportioned fairly, then the senate actually skews the balance in favor of the smaller states.
I heard Alan Dershowitz on the radio yesterday talking about the electoral college and he mentioned something I had never considered before. The electoral college balances out the extra voting power that the smaller states have in the senate. Hawaii has just as much voting power in the senate as California, so to balance that, California has more sway in the presidential election.
Seniors need their drugs paid for by Medicaid. My opponent wants to take away old people's money and let them live in homeless shelters until he closes them all down, too.
2. Rights of Atheists and minority religions
I support all religions. As you know, I make it a point to visit the worship places of various religions so that I can understand their views. Sometimes my visits are misunderstood by the press, however.
3. Tax cuts
We can't cut taxes for everyone. We need to cut taxes for Working Americans, they're the ones who are out there making car payments and house payments. The rich, who my opponent is looking out for, don't make car payments or house payments. That's why they're rich. We must tax them because they are taking advantage of the Working Americans because they don't work.
4. Third party candidates and the electoral college
As a senator, I took the initiative in creating the Electoral College and I am proud of it. As for third-party candidates, I am told that some of these third parties haven't been paying their taxes properly. As president, I will call for a complete audit of the books of any third-party candidate named Ralph who doesn't drop out of the race before election day.
5. Intellectual property
Intellectual property is very important. When someone works hard to create something, they get very angry when some stiff-necked bozo from Washington comes along and takes credit for their invention. People have as much a right to their intellectual property as seniors have to their prescription drugs, which Medicaid should pay for 100%.
6. Exporting strong encryption
Strong encryption is very important for our national security. Right now, although you can't export strong encryption software without complying to certain government restrictions, you can print the source code to the encryption software in a book and then export the book. We are safe because the books are in English. Our enemies can't read them or type in the code. We must work to keep our encryption secrets safe. Our encryption should be sitting in an ironclad lockbox, right next to social security.
7. Protests against globalization
Many people are worried about the growth of large, multinational corporations. For instance, many drug companies span the world. Their products for seniors should be covered 100% by medicaid.
8. Global defense systems
You shouldn't have to go to bed worrying about whether an asteroid will destroy life as we know it. I will work to insure that you can live to a ripe old age, and when you get old, your prescription drugs will be paid for 100% by Medicaid.
9. Our national mission
We should be setting a good example for other nations. These other nations don't pay for their seniors' prescription drugs 100%, nor do they have iron-clad lockboxes for their social security. We need to teach them all how to be Working Americans and let them come to our country and vote for people who will take money away from the evil rich and give it to the poor, overworked people who are making car payments and house payments.
I think it's time we end the war on drugs. War is never good, except when it increases your approval rating. I would send an ambassador to Drugs and ask them to sign a peace agreement. As far as being an unqualified success, I'm not sure whether Drugs qualifies or not. I will review their voting record with the United Nations.
2. Rights of Atheists and minority religions
I am unfamiliar with some of those religious, but I have heard a lot about Atheists - mostly about their God, Les. I'm not sure that they all believe in Les, because sometimes I hear them called God Les Atheists, and other times Wicked Atheists, so maybe some of them are Wiccans. I am sure they have some rights because I often hear about religious rights.
3. Tax cuts
Everyone needs tax cuts, because tax cuts are money and money is part of the economy and the economy is what Warren Greenspan works for. The economy helps the homeless through EconoLodge, too.
4. 3rd party candidates and the electoral college
Every election people talk about the electoral college. I think we're focusing on the wrong college. According to my figures, there are roughly 500 people from the electoral college that bother to vote for the president. I am quite sure that colleges like Yale have more people that vote for the president, why don't we talk about them? I am in favor of some 3rd party candidates like Ralph Nader. I think he should get more time. Pat Buchanan is bad.
5. Intellectual property
I think everyone should be allowed to own property, not just intellectuals.
6. Exporting strong encryption
Our trade deficit is bad. We need to export more things and if we can export more of our encryptions, that is good. It's better for us to export our encryptions to China than it is to buy them from China. Do you want to give your kid an encryption for Christmas that is labeled "Made in China" ?
7. Political protests against globalization
Globalization is a safe, clean and effective process that no one should be afraid of. I had my car globalized last week and it looks better than it ever did. Sure, some poorer nations are afraid of globalization because they live in dirty huts and have no cars. If they had windows or shoes that could be globalized, they'd realize how good it is.
8. Space defense against asteroids
Stay in the middle. Try to focus on eliminating one asteroid at a time. If you break too many of them up at once, you'll get killed. When you get down to one tiny asteroid, start flying around. Shoot the little saucer over and over to get more points.
9. Our national mission
I think our national mission is to be a nation. Right now we are a republic, but we can do better than that. Our pledge of allegiance says "One nation" not "one republic". We should strive to fulfil our pledge and become a nation under God, invisible, with liberty and justice for all. I think the president hasn't worked on making us invisible, so I will work to increase our stealth technology.
Guess you need to factor in the length of the auction and the total shipping time to accurately figure the price-per-pound to see if you're getting a good deal.
The local CVS pharmacy has it on sale right now, and I don't have to pay shipping. Plus.. the Radio Shack next door promises me they'll have a flux capacitor soon. Then I'll go back in time and kill that damned milkman that was always winking at my mo...
Does C++ let you define classes from a single file?
C# Does. So does Java.
Does C++ have garbage collection built in as part of the language?
C# Does. So does Java.
Does C++ have any built-in thread awareness?
C# Does. So does Java.
You're not really disproving anything with the "C# does" stuff. The point is that C# is a lot more similar to Java than it is to C++.
It looks to me like they took some of the C++ features Java programmers miss the most (Enums, #include, operator overloading), made a few other improvements mixed it with Java and out popped C#.
I was just thinking that C# may just be a different syntax for VB7. If you look at the announced features for VB7 (exceptions, inheritance, overloading, polymorphism, free threading). The descriptions of how C# will really enhance web applications sound suspiciously to the descriptions at http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0400/vb nexgen/vbnexgen.asp describing the web-enablign features of VB7.
Maybe they just made a C-like syntax alternative for VB7 that uses the same compiler back-end as VB7.
I do a lot of writing with Word and I have to use some wacky Word templates. I also need a word processor that does revision marks.
I tried the beta of Star Office and it choked on the template. Applix could read my Word document but it didn't work too well. I finally broke down and bought WPO2K and it worked pretty well. It was a little slow and it crashed a few times, but at least it handled everything I needed. I turned in a chapter created with WPO2K and it had no problems.
If they can just improve the stability, I think WPO2K is an excellent alternative, even if it does cost some $$$.
Tape copies degrade in quality very quickly as you go down successive generations. By the time you get to 1.4 million copies, you might as well have recorded static on the tape.
I think Lars' point is that digital copies don't ever degrade, so 1.4 million digital copies are just as good as the original.
Its proponents would of course be called...
