While the move/rename method you describe will "work", unfortunately, that operation itself is not part of the revision history.
After you've done this, checking out an old (pre-renamed) version of the files does not give you exactly the same thing that you originally checked in.
Anyone else think THIS was the bug?

The Bug
·
· Score: 1
When I read the code containing the bug (in inregion()), I thought for sure it was because they reversed the width and height but they never go on to say anything about that.
What I didn't see mentioned was an Ethernet interface
The specs say 802.11b wireless for network access.
battery lifetime?

Optimized battery-life allows full day use
Sorry man but did you even read that review? The book has nothing to do with cracking or virus writing, making the whole rant about your poor employee, well, beside the point.
I agree that without a good foundation, you're not likely to produce good code. However, it sounds to me that you can't even get the most benefit from the book in question without having such a foundation. That is, you can use the book like a cookbook but you probably won't understand why the recipe works. Disclaimer: I have not read the book, only this review. As many others have pointed out, if you're working on something which must be highly optimized, or are working on an optimizer, such a book can help you squeeze that bit of extra performance out of your code. Nothing wrong with that.
I've also been told this explicitly by Chinese collegues of mine. We talk quite a lot about cultural views and among the Chinese crowd I know, they say America has a reputation of being heaven for young people and hell for old people, so they plan to go back to their more comfortable cultural surroundings after they make a wad of cash here in the U.S.

It really wasn't a non-sequitur to ask for your data. You have to admit it's somewhat suspicious when someone says "I don't know the numbers exactly..." and then proceeds to give you a slew of precise numbers.
Why bother with such an extensive ad hominem attack? It's much more useful to counter a bad review with information countering the actual points raised in the review.
The issue is not "that Mossberg is well known..." but that the device is advertised as being able to do something but isn't ready for prime time. Pushing the sync button and getting no response at all is sure something different that what I'm used to as well. Lack of software is also a good reason for mere mortals to hold off purchase.
Mossberg's readers likely are expecting a full-featured PDA if they buy a PDA - not an expensive geek toy so they can watch mpgs while sitting in the back of the boring boardroom meeting.
>> I think what he was saying is that the supposition of modern capitalism, that labour has intrinsic value, is so near a reductionist axiom that it might as well be untrue intrinsic value. Under capitalism, the value of labor is assigned by market conditions, just like for any other resource.
You seem to believe that from the rest of your post - just a poor choice of words at the start.
I believe the division we're seeing on this topic does have to do with age and relative maturity. It takes a while to develop mature work habits. Part of that process is losing the habit of fucking off whenever you feel like it, as you used to do in school, and learning to focus on the task at hand -- all the way to the end.
All of like to be able to do unrestricted research and take occasional breaks but some of these arguments are simply absurd (porn on my desktop is a sign of uncompromised spirit). Those who really feel that way are just advertising that they never learned the social skills necessary to be successful in heterogenous group settings.
Is Python bytecode really that low level? What if you wrote some Assembler code that simply loaded a register and nothing else? Could you actually map that onto valid Python bytecode? Surely, for any given machine, there are opcodes which have no equivalent in Python bytecode.
Mapping a higher level construct to lower level constructs is not a problem, that's what all compilers/assemblers do. Going in the opposite direction doesn't make sense, though, since a low level construct can be simply too fine-grained to be representable at the higher level.
Strictly speaking, it's not futile to have assholes and their material removed from a forum, and, with any luck, from their ISPs.
The worst offenders are always a small minority of users. Vandals are usually punk kids with a difficult home life or psychologically aberrant adults, neither of which exist in large enough quantities to matter. If you can keep shutting them down from their ISPs, only the truly obsessed wackos will continue to find new ISPs to abuse. The more noise you can get from these freaks, the easier it is to get a lock on the individual doing it. Then targets of abuse have more options to pursue.
I think you missed the point. Although these technologies do save us time when doing the same, or similar, tasks without them, it doesn't result in additional leisure time. Instead, we end up with a little "saved" time that is immediately filled in with even more tasks that we never had time for previously.
Everyone with a certain minimum level of I/O capacity has the right to interact with the government. One problem with this sort of thing, however, is bureaucratic busybodies never define their scope ahead of time, allowing government to become ever more intrusive in your daily life.
What does the following have to do with government access?
--------------------- Once these standards are implemented later this year, observers say, the same sweeping changes in store for the public sector are likely to hit commercial Web site operators, too. ---------------------
Another/.er here, in the middle of a rant accusing one commentator on having an inability to read, never noticed the above either, apparently. Folks, this isn't going to stop with federal sites or those sites dealing directly with the feds.
--------------------- The potential? Sites that use dizzying graphics will have to consider their impact on users with visual impairments. ---------------------
Does this really sound like a good idea to you? I want to see the final document but whenever I hear this sort of ambiguous crap, I'm reminded of the IRS and the tax code.

Too bad I don't have any moderation points for "funny". Good use of typos :)

Did he fail out of school or become an antisocial shut-in because of Quake or Counterstrike?
I rest on your face. Thengyouverymush
What I want to know is how you managed to get off heroin. Did someone force you to do something about it? Or did you somehow do it on your own?

I think you're right with the "don't even know 5%" part but doping silicon and building a processor are hardware engineering.

Same here on my Prism. Had to do a hardware reset with Borkov.

If Mossberg is wrong, tell why he's wrong.

To get anal about it...
if it was a tautology there would be no "provided that", it would be true by definition.
Huh? Def Leppard?! That was Neil Young and Crazy Horse, which I always thought of as more folk rock, very bluesy - not metal by any means.
