Yeah, yeah. I remember I saw in one of my college books that _fundamental_ physical limitations would stop CPU designs at 900MHz. So - the thing I have now is as realistic as a teleporter I guess.
(Can I have a teleporter now please, it gets bloody cold on the streets;)
And that's a _very_good_thing_ if you plan to make heaps of money. Ask Microsoft. You "pirate" it, you get used to it, you think it's cool, it leaks to your workplace, here and there. It gains critical weight. Software/hardware support breaks "catch 22". You use it for important stuff. You occasionally buy it then.
Smalltalk is new? Well, man, you owe it yourself. And it's rather simple really. Check it out. Even if you won't write in it you will be enlightened about what OOP _really_ is about.
Rename *.mht to *.msg and open it in any mailreader of your choice. Enlightened? Really guys, the followup on this article makes us - free-software-compatible-guys - all look like a bunch of clueless idiots. Sad.
There's nothing evil/proprietary/whatever about MHT - it's just HTML + linked stuff like CSS and images packed into single MIME message. Very convenient as you have it all in one file. The fact that Mozilla (or Opera for that matter) do not support it is a shame to the developers of those browsers. In fact - save to MHT (and MHT viewing) is one of the most asked for features by the people.
That's nice thing when you do your project bottom-to-top, i.e. when you have some engine tossing around your data and stuff, and then write UI on top of it. (UI is not very unit-testing-friendly, is it?)
Unfortunately, IMHO, most of software is done as this - let's put pretty gadgets around, cool nice icons, and then we'll do the job in event handlers somehow. Here it all breaks loose.
Why it is done that way is easy to see - managers/supervisors are not interested in you doing smth behind-the-scenes for weeks/months without showing "cool stuff" to them.
How much of the profit (and turnaround) of Intel comes from P4? (Just curious).
BTW, IMHO, Intel is long overdue a good PC CPU. I'd say they have not made one since P3 socketed ones. When I immediately try to talk away anyone who is going to buy a P4 it's not because I hate Intel, just the CPU is crap.
... that with all these "technology innovation" and incredibly effective agriculture we still do NOT have 15-20 hours per week worktime. Makes you wonder what the use in all of it when we still dump our lives at the desks and stuff much like 100, 200, 300 years ago.
Wasn't Novell bought out by IBM(?) several weeks ago? I guess they have a roof large enough to cover quite a few beasts.
Well, you know smth is out of sync...

SUSE 9.2 Released

... when they only mention the desktop features of a release and non of the server-side features. Like - what DBMS's are included and stuff. I guess that either Linux really done it on the desktop, or Win2k(3) completely filled up the server niche, or it's just slashdot.
8500 is not at all a "bottom dweller". Old, yes. Not much of whoopsy-poopsy shaders and stuff, yes. But majority of what goes with new computers now is (much) weaker than 8500. I'd say it's roughly on par w/ 9600XT or 5700 (5700 Ultra?) as raw power goes.

When sales drop will they blame P2P?

Actually 32bit x86 is soooo 1987. It's scary IMHO.
If only they could make a volks-level digicam usable in a room light without bloody tons of noise! Nah, a cam in a music player.

Also don't forget to superglue their collective butts to North Korean soil. Otherwise you have no point.
What the hell is "Windows XP"?
;)
Ok, ok
"Window and mouse" interface? Huh? I tend to believe Alan Kay developed _everything_! Or at least everything cool. :)
Does not beat DWTFYW license (my fave):

Yes, yes, I did not RTFA
Anyway - is it _signed_ w/ some plugin or is it _encrypted_? If it's only signed then what's the fuzz? Anyone have a sample doc?

Sorry, had to say that (again).
I dunno, Mighty Mouse is totally normal superhero and IIRC he was called up by a phone.
After all, why not? :)

Imagine that the next Windows version is very secure. Describe in 25 words or less how would it affect your life.

And if, say, CPU or motherboard dies you can still *serve* drinks on it!
Wouldn't it be healthier to develop the alcohol addiction instead? :)
In the same sense that the best way to fight obesity in your children is to stop feeding them.
