seriously your post is just ridicilous. The solar powered car crossed lanes into oncoming traffic. It has nothing to do with whether it was struck by a bigger car or not. It could have been a beetle or a trailer truck.. once you cross lanes there is almost no hope for you.
One could even argue highways ARE for large cars and trucks, not for little experimental vehicles that can't even stay on their own lane
nope it is a set back for them. Why are solar powered cars designed like that in the first place? Because there isn't enough power to move a normal car for any reasonable distance. Frankly that car was not street legal, it shouldn't have been allowed on the highway
I understand that statement. Just because someone doesn't know python doesn't mean he is apathetic to programming.
apathetic: having little or no interest or concern : INDIFFERENT
Now let me ask you. What part of that statement didn't you understand?
here is a hint. There is a difference between programming and programming languages. Having an interest in programming does not mean having an interest in every flavor of the month programming language that shows up on your door step.
A person who is apathetic to programming will learn whatever pays the most. While a person who loves to program will study and learn different tools and explore them to advance themselfs
that statement is bullshit in the purest sense. Could it be that nobody is learning python because they can already do whatever needs to be done in other languages? Programmers are king when it comes to inefficiency. Go to sourceforge and you will find 10-20 programs doing basically the same thing. Every year someone creates a new language, that does that same thing as the 50 other languages that already exist, and when they are asked why nobody uses it they give you that quote above. bullspit indeed.
running around in the dark was only fun for like 30mins then it became annoying. I've used this mod and it is great, it works on the machine gun so you'll still be in the dark if you switch guns. Increased accuracy, less wasted ammo and a more enjoyable game.
With the flash light if you tried to shoot while using it, it just used the flashlight as a stick instead of switching to your guns.
obviously these softies work in little teams mostly independent from each other. The few softies I know who directly work on the OS (and many softies don't) usually work in specialized area.. like the driver subsystem and what not. It is entirely reasonable that a guy who does drivers wouldn't have much of an insight on how other parts of the system work
one could argue working a fixed salary is much better than wasting your time chasing a bounty. If they have 1 million dollars to spend why don't they just hire some developers to make this thing and open sources it?
What you're seeing is a government that is getting too close to implementing something that it shouldn't be doing in the first place. All of this should be contracted out. Let someone take on the liability and legal/patent manueverings. A government could either contract out all its car purchases or it can decide to build a plant and assemble it themselves. In the latter option, they'll need to do a lot more work and research than the former
these "optimizing" programs are meant for idiots. There is no point explaining the technical details to them because it requires thinking on their part. Show them a program with a few graphs that jumps up and down claiming to be "optimizing" memory and they think their system runs faster. Never mind the fact you just released memory for abolutely no reason except to make a nice graph, slowing down the system while applications using the memory run smack right into one page fault after another.
what's so great about having a nice graph telling you, you have x amount of free memory? what the hell are you going to do with your free memory? look at it?
I think it is weird that microsoft gets the brunt of frustrations about software patents. Who got sued half a billion dollars for violating a patent? microsoft. What is wrong with the patent system is small fry getting these broad ridicilous patents that cover almost every variation of the patent and chasing big companies for payout.
The effect is big companies patenting everything in sight they can possibly imagine just to prevent leeches like that from benefiting from patents they never implemented. EOLAS didn't go after everyone, they specifically went after microsoft.
Anyways how do you solve this? make patents more specific not broad. Patent officers should really reject patents are worded in a way that applies to anything in that field. The law should be changed so that if a company hasn't created anything useful for the patent in 5 or so years then they can't go around sueing everyone who implements it.
to normal people yes, to slashdot folks no. What ms is doing is using their assets as levarage. If you have msnbc why not use it? msnbc benefits, newsbot benefits and ms benefits. If you don't like it, use google or go to cnn yourself. There is choice, only idiots or lazy people want others to make choices for them
most admins I have run into are rude pricks who seem to hate their jobs and consider everyone else stupid. why should they be appreciated. if you hate your job so much quit!
supposing aliens are also listening for signals of aliens and they run into our noisy broadcast spectrum, how are they supposed to know what is just random chatter and an actual message? Will they go through all the AM/FM, TV, CB, Wi-Fi, Wide band, short, wave, cell phone messages just to deciper it?
Governments are slave to companies, and not just in software, hardware, services you name it. So are consumers. We rely on companies to bring us food, water, electricity, entertainment, jobs etc. Without companies, we would all have farms in our backyards and trading services with our neighbours.
IT jobs? You're just answering the damn telephone from a script. This is the job people on welfware or students do. The real IT jobs will be going to india anyways
how can the call it a museum if the stuff is not even sorted? it looks like a warehouse full of old computer parts that need to be sorted (not a museum). Maybe they should concentrate on sorting and taking out the good stuff before lobbying to have them saved.
I know it doesn't sound too hip but the internal ones are the best. With external ones there is a bit of a lag since the signal has to be processed and then sent to the pci. You may think interference is probably more on the PCI but having tried both it doesn't seem to matter at all. You just need a really good cable to avoid the signal problems. If you want something convienent you can move around with then external is good but PCI is always better for performance.

"XP runs everything with administrator privileges" that statement is retarded.
You also need administrator privilages to use raw sockets on XP.

it only means they won't make as much money. Btw people have been predicting microsoft's demise since OS/2, I guess one more wouldn't hurt

why are you designing a database if you don't know these things? you will only give your coworkers headaches

I don't get these people. If you have thousands of dollars to blow on ebay why not walk into a real store and buy the damn laptop?
if dom is too convoluted, you should get a job flipping burgers and forget being a programmer.
