Are you using a Microsoft branded remote to do this? This is the only thing I can imagine that provides you, but not countless other Xbox 360 owners, with the ability to do this.
OK... this is really freakin' weird. I could have sworn I did this last night... but I just tried it on the kit we have at work, and nope, it doesn't work.
Why is distributing a small DLL a turn off? Visual Studio comes with a built in installation package creator - which is really how you wanna distribute apps anyway. I mean, unless you're sending out viruses and zombies.
The hippocampus doesn't only handle spatial memory... it's also the store for contextual memory. (It takes longer to develop than the amygdyla, which is why most people don't remember much of their early childhood years). Given that most depression / psychological problems that aren't hardware in nature appear to be due to a mismatch between contextual memory and the limbic brain's emotional memory that the brain needs to learn to resolve, maybe this isn't much of a surprise.
Although it might explain why eye movement can be used in therapy to reprogram people's responses to trauma.
Surprised? Seems Microsoft just see this as another way to infect the better platforms with their CLR, an attempt to start the countdown on the patent timebomb.
If you're writing cross platform code at least have the decency to use C, C++ or Java, requiring a CLR is insulting.
OK count me as the most cynical. He is using his money in an apparently successful PR campaign. If it were all about virtue, the only information you could find about it would be the IRS forms.
And then, you'd be complaining that he has all this money and he's not doing anything with it, of course...
Now I won't have to start endless discussions with people not liking PDF because it is 'proprietary', an argument that IMHO made no sense because Adobe has always allowed developers to use the PDF Reference as described in section 1.4 of the PDF Reference.
You might want to talk to Microsoft about whether or not PDF was a proprietary format. After all, Adobe sued them to stop them from exporting PDF files from Word 2007.
While many here already know that PDF has been an open format for a number of years, that knowledge may not be held by all in the development business.
How can it be an open format if Adobe can prevent Microsoft from allowing people to Save As... PDF in Office 2007?
MS word is notorious for looking different on different computers, even using the same version. Its a fact that two identical computers with identical versions of MS word, will render a document differently if they have different printers. Why is this? I can't understand the logic behind having the printer determining how a document looks. Why not just ignore the printer?
The last (and first?) version of Office while performed layout based on the printer you had selected was Office 97. Since Office 2000, they've used a resolution-independent layout system, so changing printers doesn't change any of the layout details.
In other words, you're about 8 years behind the times.
Each one like a math coprocessor, only with more awesome included (sorry for the non technical terms there). Perfect for grinding out mathematical operations, that so often pop up in graphics, 3d-2d conversion, and I would imagine AI programs.
Oh, and all that graphics stuff you mention? That's what the PS3's GPU is for.
2. Parallel vector processors. How cool is that? Each one like a math coprocessor, only with more awesome included (sorry for the non technical terms there). Perfect for grinding out mathematical operations, that so often pop up in graphics, 3d-2d conversion, and I would imagine AI programs.
Game AI is more about branching than vector processing; you might have a point with collision detection, except that you'd have to address the problem in many many phases to get it to work (small batches - not much memory on the cell itself, even with that fast DMA and the ring). What it's really suited for is finite element analysis - you know, stuff like fluid dynamics simulation, radiosity, volumetric effects, etc. Alas, the Cell isn't the graphics output stage - it just feeds data into it.
The former is a design decision - to consciously give execute permission to email content. The latter is a bug. Please learn the difference between the two.
I know the difference between the two. You said, however:
How to infect a Unix or Linux machine:
Automatically through mail? Impossible to do without user interaction, since everything that comes down the pipe doesn't have the execute bits turned on.
Automatically through mail? Impossible to do without user interaction, since everything that comes down the pipe doesn't have the execute bits turned on. Anyone who writes an MUA that does that autmatically will be taken out back and hit with the clue bat.
Unless there's a bug in your libpng implementation, and your MUA automatically displays images.
Given such intents, it's strange to see the foundation money spent buying independent newspapers. The Contra Costa Times and the San Jose Mercury News don't seem to have much to do with AIDS.
Although I have no idea why they're doing it, if I had a foundation, I might buy a few independent newspapers so that we at least have a couple of independent companies left to provide the news. They're all getting bought up by Tribune media, Rupert Murdoch and Knight-Ridder.
Subpixel rendering was done on the Apple II? Which pixels are these, perchance? What LCD technology was being used at the time that meant that the output on the CRT covered a single pixel on the shadow mask?
It's not subpixel rendering you're seeing on the Apple II. It's a hacky mechanism for making a color signal out of a b&w signal by utilizing some quirks of the NTSC standard. End of story.
Paragraphs numbering : MS Word. Most people here are using old canvas where numbering works. I asked to one guy how it was achieving it. He did tenths of tries clicking everywhere until it worked. Couldn't get a straightforward procedure. Out of curiosity, launched OpenOffice.org 2.0 at home. Did what seemed straightforward to me (selecting 1.1 scheme in bullets and numbering), almost same place as in MS-Office, and it just worked.
Er... you must be crazy.
Open Word 2003 Type "1.1 This is a test" and hit ENTER.
You now have a bulleted list in the format you want. Hit tab to go in levels (eg. 1.2.1), shift+tab to go out.
Alternatively, from the Format menu, select "Bullets and Numbering".
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, but it all looks like it works totally fine to me.
You might be different. Maybe you're great. I've worked with one guy from Full Sail, and he's painted a bleak picture of what they let through as graduates.
Since then, I haven't had a single candidate make it past phone screens from gaming universities. Maybe you're the exception.
Education is a tool, but it's pretty much the only thing I have to go on for recent graduates.
Hmmm... we have very stringent programmer tests and a comprehensive interview process... we only let through the best. And we've got two guys from FullSail, and we have two from DigiPen working for us right now. All of whom are really really solid, top-notch engineers. Green in a few areas? Sure. Highly competent, motivated engineers who excell at what they do? Absolutely.
My recommendation? Try hiring on new grads as interns. They can do it for course credit, and you'll get a relatively inexpensive way of determining if you want to hire them on full-time later. Interview them the same way you would a full-time employee, just set the bar a little lower, and see if you can grow them into that role.
Plus, charity is not that great, and it just doesn't work very well. Charity alone is not something to praise a guy for.
That's why he has a foundation, and there are strict rules governing the way that the money is given to 3rd parties. It's run like a business - your charity has to produce results for you to get the money, and to keep getting more, you need to keep producing results. Otherwise, he gives his money to another charity which will do a better job.
Pretty smart way of handling it actually - which is why Warren Buffet jumped on board too.

1) How many other MP3 players have easily-replaceable batteries. Name one please. There's lots of competition out there for the iPod. If you don't like it, don't buy one. Get one that has an easily-replaceable battery. Oh wait, there aren't any!!!
MS insisting that the startup sound be tolerable after 1000 times hearing it alludes to the fact that they know how unstable and badly architected Windows (including Vista) is. There's got to be an internal memo regarding how often in a given time period the average user would hear the startup sound.
The Windows startup sound plays when you login these days. And some people (eg. me) restart their machine at home every day. Why? Because it costs money to run the thing. *shrugs*
Why don't they have a composer come up with a motif and they then use a random seed to resynthesise the sounds within certain parameters each time it plays? But of course that could be innovation and we all know Microsoft don't do that.
DirectMusic (part of DirectX) has allowed you to do that kind of stuff for.. well... years. At least 8 of them, in fact.
The thing is, you don't want the startup sound to deliberately grab your attention by randomly morphing each time you start up. You want it to slowly sink into the background over time, so that you don't pay attention to it as much any more. Randomizing it would be counter-productive.

Uh... guys... I was wrong about this. Thought that's what happened on my system, but it didn't when I checked it again. Stop modding me up!!!

Tracks from an audio CD in the Xbox 360 itself
Tracks ripped by the Xbox 360 onto its own hard drive
I can do both of these... not entirely sure what's going on here...
Si
Still no sign that the update will enable fast forward and rewind in audio tracks.
What year is this?
Weird. Works fine for me. Just hold down Next Track in the guide instead of tapping it, and it'll fast forward.

That's because the ISO file system used on CDs limits you to 8.3 file names if you want to read them on all BIOSes.
