um almost everything you learn has to be unlearnt and relearnt the real way.
Do you really think it would be useful to start with "2+2=4, using a number system definition where 2 = successor(successor(0)) and '+' is defined as the composition of two functions, and the answer is a representation of the answer by definition, using a base 10 number system. I will now setup the assumptions we need for this number system to follow basic composition rules."
So if I copy 1GB of files, it should attempt to read them all into memory? And content negotation is hardly a seperate issue - if you copy on a ctrl-c, how do you know what content to copy?
from a technical POV, how would you do it so you don't get the 'data loss' ? Remember that application might have a wide range of different ways of offering the data.
Perhaps a warning could pop up though, if you copy but don't paste.
I intend on personally fixing the copy and paste for kde apps for 3.3. I just don't want to risk having 3.2 released with buggy copy and paste. (plus there's a string and feature freeze)
It actually turns out to be soo trivial. I can implement full copy support in khtml in about 4 lines.
although we would be able to do better parallax at that distance, it would still be a frigtening short distance, and still only useful for the closest of stars..
Agreed. I was doing assembly on the spectrum at 10. By 12 I was doing City and Guilds qualifications at college. Throw them in at the deepend I say.
Of couse, back then I didn't know how to convert mnemonics into the hex values for assembly. But did have a programs to do vice versa. It make coding a very slow and trial and error process.
I understand what you are saying, but there is always a level of realism that they try to aim for. I'm just saying that that level is too low for my liking.
The proper course of action in a lot of the cases is probably to let them die.:)
But there are really annoying cases.. like when the hologram-doctor in the Janeway-startrek (I'm no good with names.) is captured, and ends up imposing what he thinks is right, and basically dooms the planet. Except that they don't show that he has effectively wiped out a whole species and he doesn't get into any trouble at all.
uh right - except i'm not too sure why exactly that is relevant, since the majority of this computer is not silicon chip. Maybe when we have computer-on-a-chip and can't get the case smaller than a few inches cubed.
Sorry, I meant to write C++. Still my question holds. What standard class do you use in C++ to handle UTF strings? The String class is useless for storing unicode
A point on the assumption: the failure probably isn't independant as you hear all the time of a load of drives failing at once due to 'a bad batch' etc. Most likely the four-drives-in-a-case are all the same batch.

um, if it could be done, a handbrake _would_ be useful on a canoe.
Or perhaps pygame.
I intend on getting my brother (20) to learn programming with this.
argh, goddamit i'm surrounded by people who can't follow what is going on.
windows doesn't copy on select, but on paste.
So if I copy 1GB of files, it should attempt to read them all into memory?
And content negotation is hardly a seperate issue - if you copy on a ctrl-c, how do you know what content to copy?
so.. if I select files in a webbrowser, and press ctrl+c, it should read all the files, and put them into memory?
or what if I select text in openoffice, and press ctrl+c, then try to paste it into vi, which doesn't understand the RTF, or whatever openoffice uses.
dumbass, we are talking about when you copy, close application, then try to paste.
These are expose problems, not network problems.
This is why keith is redoing large parts of it.
and is used for other things - drag and drop for one

why would the images be better when it leaves our solar system?
okay. This is where the confusion has come from then.
For me, saying "the energy put in", would include the potential energy in the coal.
do you mean "put in as electricity" or something? If you put in coal, are you classing that as putting in energy?
dude, wtf. You can't say that just because the energy is stored, or free, you can start saying "no energy".

if you have a hard time trying to understand what is more realistic and what is less realistic, then there's no hope for you :P
because when you take away too much realism, it sucks.
uh right - except i'm not too sure why exactly that is relevant, since the majority of this computer is not silicon chip. Maybe when we have computer-on-a-chip and can't get the case smaller than a few inches cubed.
Shame, enterprise was the only good one.
Still, too many of them are too 'lets break all the rules, oh and against all the odds it all works out'.
and wtf kind of captain keeps risking his ship and thousands of crew to save one or two people?
plain stupid
Sorry, I meant to write C++.

The String class is useless for storing unicode
You say "..as is the non-standard string class".
So what is the standard C UTF string class that they should have used?
