I occasionally consider building a gaming machine but never follow through because I would have to choose between running windows or having very few supported games. If this actually happens I will be a happy man.
If you don't think Microsoft has a cult, then you've never known anyone who went to work there as a full time employee (aka FTE or "Blue Badge"). They all drink the kool-aid eventually.
I know one woman who has worked there more than once. Before she worked there, and in between her first and current stints she was reasonably objective about the nature of the beast, but while she's there she's got the gleam in her eye and the blinders on.
Stock options probably have something to do with it, but I think it's really about the immersion in a group of otherwise intelligent and well-meaning people who live in a well established reality distortion field.
Religion does (or at least did) confer a survival benefit by virtue of it conferring a survival benefit. People with religion want to breed with people of the same religion or lack thereof. If you're part of a religious minority group, then it's harder to find a mate. If those of the majority religious belief persecute minority beliefs, then it's even more difficult for minority (non)believers to find each other.
Note that this does not necessarily imply a biological instinct for belief although it seems likely that such would develop at least in some part of the population.
I left out Discrete Math because at my school it was a CS course and required. Also didn't include Predicate Calculus because it was in the philosophy dept, or Calculus because I'm pretty sure it's required by any decent CS program.
We have several in-house apps that were written recently enough to be done in C# and none of them work in Vista. We have two guys working to convert them and they've had no success after spending dozens of hours on the problem.
The main advantage of integration with the IDE is that when you rename or move source files, it can automatically do the drudge work for you with svn. This is hugely important in Eclipse because all the fancy refactoring tools make the source tree much more plastic but it's all for naught if you have to go in after the fact and figure out which files got renamed to what manually.
Good lord. This article and its predecessor are nothing but "these people hold such-and-such-overly-simplified-obviously-stupid opinion. Aren't they stupid simpletons who just want to pirate the golden dripping of Awesome Artists?"
Whatever. This guy has a stick up his ass. Ignore him. CC is it's own thing for it's own class of people. They should sink or swim on their own without the hindrance of stupid "pundits" like this.
You'll have to change your setup to get the name of the new tag but it can't be that hard to write a script to do this (e.g. take the last entry from a run of svn ls/path/to/tagdir)
svn is not completely feature-for-feature with CVS. In most cases missing CVS features are replaced with one or more better designed features.
IMO the only seriour problem with subversion is training all the users not to fuck up their working copies by renaming and deleting things behind svn's back.
Because you want something that they have. They developed the file formats, so they own the intellectual property. If you want them to spell out how they work for you, you'll have to play by their rules. If you don't like that, that's fine too. You don't have to know now their file formats work to use their product, and when it comes down to it you don't even have to use their product.
It's not that simple. The issue here is that they want their product and format to be considered "open enough". If they make you sign a license first, then it is not open enough.
I recently had a problem with godaddy for domain hosting. I had the domain set up to point to my own DNS servers and it was spontaneously reset to point to their default DNS servers. It was easy enough to set it back but they have yet to respond to my request for an explanation.
"Cool" or hot?

Seriously. Considering how warm similarly spec'd laptops can get can you imagine how hot these puppies will be? I mean the surface area is so much smaller the escaping heat is going to have be a lot more concentrated. Ouch!
All the languages mentioned in the article are just as "stack-based" as C and Java (with the possible exceptions of prolog and haskell, depending on your definition.)
If you turn off the GC, all the GC'd languages will leak memory but continue to work "correctly".
It may not have an immediate effect, but I believe these comment forums do go into official records and can be used later by someone fighting to change the laws for the better.
Different distributions vary greatly in how secure they are out of the box and in how easy it is to apply security updates once they are deployed. Also, talking about absolute numbers of breakins is completely uninformative without knowing the number of systems deployed for each.

Yeah, this is the one to get. I've been using one for the last year. It's very durable, portable, stable and adjustable. All of the important -ables.

either that or slashdot is seriously FOS

You can play it online or at a table. The table version is better when you're out eating lunch in restaurant.
i.e. svn switch /path/to/new/tag
/path/to/tagdir)

$15 for a set. Play it online first to check it out. http://tantrix.com. I have no affiliation, I just think it's a great game.

I've heard things things are real handwarmers.
A laptop can't play a whole movie without running out of batteries whereas a special purpose device such as this can play several in a row.

The regulations clearly state that if you can point to the source you don't need permission from the government.

It can't hurt to write a comment.
Compared to what? TT Text fonts with Xft are certainly much easier on the eyes under linux/gtk/x11/gnome than they are under Windows XP.
Is it actually available for Linux? The site seems to imply that it is currently Windows Only.
