You might take a look at The Well. Topics range from programming to literature to sex. An important feature of The Well is that there's no anonymity, so people watch what they say. Also, topics last for years, so long dialogues are possible and there is much less repetition compared to USENET.
It costs $10-$15 a month, but this means users can be tracked, and need to follow the rules; this leads to intelligent discussions and virtually no offtopic posts. The web and ssh interfaces are lightning quick even on my 28.8, so I don't miss downloadable forums.
Sony and Nintendo officials have freed themselves of a thin egg coating and several inches of bread crumbs by "eating their way out", said one witness.
"We were having lunch when suddenly I was blinded by flying particles. I didn't know what they were, but it smelled like stale bread and some sort of Italian seasoning..." said a hysterical Sony developer.
After being treated and released, most of those affected said they would not press charges. "We know Microsoft did it, but we will fight a clean war, in the marketplace" declared Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi.
Well, this is the consumer side of the cycle. Now we have three serious competitors that wanted to sell $300+ consoles, but demand brought them down to under $200. If prices go too low, a competitor or two might drop out or get pushed out of the race, leaving one or two left to raise prices again.
Morpheus talks about the meaning of life.. I thought the Matrix taught us that our lives are our own, and no one can tell us what to do with them, not even fate or ourselves?
For now, yes. In a few months, 3DLabs' parent company, Creative Labs, will sell a consumer version targeted at gamers. It will be priced to compete with NVidia and ATI's top of the line card at that time, probably around $300.
When the GeForce3 first came out, Apple sold it for $499. Only when it was released for PC consumers did it drop to the prices we see today.
Kazaa and the old (good) Morpheus both use the FastTrack network, while most other clients use the Gnutella network. Judging by the popularity of FastTrack clients, it isn't worth the effort to write a client that can access both networks. If a serious competitor to FastTrack emerges, then maybe.
C is a much simpler language, and if you stay away from complicated OO concepts, programming in C is pretty straightforward. Some like to say C is just "pointers, structs, and functions".
C++ has a ton of features, and you aren't going to use all of them, they're just there to support whichever programming paradigm you decide to use it for.
Stroustrup suggests jumping right in to C++ though if you're not interested in C. The difference is you have to stay alert for which parts of the language you're learning, and not get stuck in the features. I suggest the Deitel&Deitel book; it lets you start coding right away with the important parts of the language.
So SuSE was relaying large amounts of e-mail from two sources from what I can tell:
E-mail from the Singapore magazine
Replies from well-intentioned SuSE list readers complaining about it
#1 is easy, just firewall the magazine. #2 is the SuSE list users' fault. You get a bunch of spam, so you spam the list about it? I guess SuSE had no choice then but to shut down the list, but I hope they send out an e-mail before they do advising people on where they should send their complaints next time this happens.
On my 28.8, if your page is larger than 50K it will probably never be loaded on my machine. Even on cable, there is a perceivable difference between a 10K page and 300K page.
Now maybe if you can stick a graphic designer *under* an HCI (human-computer interface) *engineer* who will sit with people on a 9600 modem and measure their frustration, then you can give the graphic designer a job.
And if people didn't agree to things they didn't understand a lot of people would never get past the first install prompt they faced.
Exactly. Users are consistently rewarded by clicking OK when they're not sure about things. Clicking OK to enable a virus to execute may not immediately give negative feedback. Only days or weeks later might the system show problems, and possibly in seemingly unrelated ways.
If the U.S. only let the RIAA loose on its own people, all it would have to deal with are the "extremists" that disagree with it. But imposing trade restrictions on behalf of the RIAA.. now we'll have entire countries speaking up.

Yahoo! News just republishes stories, it doesn't write them.
Intel P4 2.53Ghz: $535
AMD Athlon XP 2200+: ~$250
Intel price is from Pricewatch, AMD is a guess based on two sightings here and here, and past release prices.
There are exceptions though. Peopleware mentions HP as one company that lets its engineers hold their products to their own quality standards.

SSBM is awesome if you have friends and enough controllers.
I meant the next generation would be able to stay at higher prices.

This question is as complex as "How to I write a good book?". As with English, there are many books that will help you with style and mechanics, but helping the reader understand is up to the coder. For example, The Pragmatic Programmer and Code Complete are analogs to Elements of Style and the Dictionary of Modern American Usage.

Seems like moving my entire head might be more work than small hand movements.
Try this exercise: Pick five points on your monitor, and flick your mouse to them quickly. Then try aiming your head at them.

The McD's case certainly seems to be one people like to comment on without knowing the facts. 190F is definitely too hot.
- Bundling IE and other software with Windows is good for consumers. We're doing it too, bundling a memory controller with our new chips.
- Microsoft releases enough information as it is in the form of APIs. Don't force them to release any more.
- Microsoft's monopoly fosters diversity and helps consumers.
This was not a simple disagreement, this was a 17-page letter pledging broad support for Microsoft and its practices.Trees Spend More Time Sequestering Carbon with More CO2 in the Air
