Simplest method I've learned: document what I'm thinking as it happens, in english. Then when it makes sense in English, write the code. Works like this:
Put together a quick outline of what classes/methods I'm writing. Break it up with newlines between the descriptions. Comment the whole block, and copy/paste the text into the source I write because of it.
For methods, a one-liner doc for anything that isn't 100% obvious by the name (and sometimes even then, if it could be ambiguously interpreted). If the method's implementation isn't obvious, I write an outline of what the method does, and comment the entire block. Then I write the code in between the outline steps.
Works great, and some intelligent uses of/// vs// (or/** vs/*) will make doxygen (javadoc) happy.
I'd look at the file's creation date and find the snapshots made since.
Also, I usually don't store more than 1 snapshot at a time. Just the snapshot I made when I last backed up. At next backup, I make a new one and save the delta between them. Then I delete the old one.
Try Netflix's streaming. It's 10s for the stream to begin. You select the movie and hit 'Play'. Which, considering it has recommendations and search functionality, is easier than a video store/rental place.

I can see an ebook reader taking a permanent place in my backpack. Carrying things I'd like to keep with me is a *huge* advantage for me -- I don't have space for that 3rd bookshelf in my bedroom:-) Also, being able to search my entire library is incredibly interesting. And having the whole thing accessible to me wherever I am, without having to find the book in a large collection or bring it with me when I'm not at home, that's really freeing.
But, paper will always have its place. I can look at two books at the same time, without having to buy more hardware! But this fact doesn't make me any less interested in a kindle.
Depends... I still haven't found a C++ library that makes a good looking app on multiple platforms. QT still looks terrible on the Mac and doesn't really fit in with GNOME-based Unix desktops.
Of all the cross-platform efforts out there, the Java camp's working the hardest.
There's an art to Java Client-side apps. Over time, the easy path is allowing larger & larger apps to run pretty close to native speed. Partially due to cpu speed increases, JVM enhancements, and better understanding of how to write responsive java client-side apps.
Honest to God, my sun ultra runs eclipse so fast it feels native.
As for Java 6, it's got it's own share of performance enhancements, one of the big ones is DTrace Support. At least we can tell why something's taking so long, and adapt the app to remove or mitigate the problem.
The going rate for the year 2000 election was the $200-300 tax rebate Bush promised. I remember, quite explicitly, a colleague saying "I want $200, I'm voting for Bush."
People don't care about their country, their children's futures, or their own long-term well being. They say they do, but they don't. When it comes down to it, they sell out their souls, their childrens' souls, and their nations souls for a pittance.
The truth is that people get the government they deserve. A shit government elected by lazy, apathetic, and happily clueless citizens who simply don't deserve better.
If they did, they wouldn't elect the people they do. The shit politicians we elect are *obviously* shit politicians. Few try and say they're not going to do that, so they vote for the joke politicians: Ron Paul, Ross Perot, whoever. Instead of sitting there with the politician they actually like and voting for them, even when they know they'll fail. Admitting they voted for someone who lost. Instead, we disconnect and feign apathy, as we've spoiled ourselves in our fantasies about what kind of government we deserve. Why do we get so many shit politicians? The good leaders gave up on the US citizenry, for good reason.
Want proof? How many people pay attention in the primaries, where the good candidates actually show up once in a while?
A gigabyte or Gbyte (derived from the SI prefix giga-) is a unit of information or computer storage meaning either 1000 bytes or 1024 bytes (1000 = one billion). The usage of the word "gigabyte" is ambiguous, depending on the context. When referring to RAM sizes and file sizes, it traditionally has a binary definition, of 1024 bytes. For every other use, it means exactly 1000 bytes. In order to address this confusion, currently all relevant standards bodies promote the use of the term "gibibyte" for the binary definition.
While I can see how consumers would be pissed, it's the fact that the software misreports the capacity as 2^30, instead of 10^9. As someone who wants to work in this industry, this sends me some chills — It's not about being right, it's about being right to a bunch of lawyers who don't apparently recognize standards organizations like ISO.

What you're asking for is Software Defined Radio, probably something on the line of JTRS, only in consumer form.
Until hardware can easily hop frequency bands, we have to dedicate different ones to different tasks & protocols.
If you really want to open source it:
- Write a book, sell the book
- In the book, offer consultation
If the consultation gets popular, organize into more general support services.
Of course, you could just take the dip & sell it.

where iPod_Control/Music has my music in it.
um... open up iTunes and check the 'enable disk mode' box.
Your music is in a folder prefixed with a period (.). Real tough, hmm?
As an X11 developer on OS X, I'd like to know what you're talking about.
And to answer your inevitable question, BBEdit.
Requiring a silverlight download for the website?
That's 60 million people who won't go to microsoft.com anymore.

Wow,that's complicated. I'm glad you're going ZFS, it's fantastic.
One note, make sure you delete those snapshots eventually, or else you'll never reclaim any space from deleting a file!
(a snapshot which has the file there has to take up space!)
And how much power do you need to run a sensor?
Try Netflix's streaming. It's 10s for the stream to begin. You select the movie and hit 'Play'. Which, considering it has recommendations and search functionality, is easier than a video store/rental place.

FWIW, Leopard's been nothing but 100% rock-solid for me.
And for switching out from Gutsy or Vista, consider Solaris.

Try carrying more than 1 hardback reference book. An eBook reader + 6 months of batteries would *still* be lighter!
90% of what makes a really good hack hard is STFU'ing about it.

So.. is the speedup 100 or 1000?
Please. You're ignoring the 35% of people (that's 70% of men) who'll just draw a giant cock on the image.
I mean, that's what I'd do.
You forgot The Princess Bride.
Which, btw, is great from iTunes, and is only 1 of 2 reasons I can see the demand for a video iPod (the other being BSG).
