I mean, sure, it's on the maps, but when was the last time you ever heard anything about Perth on the news, or met anybody from Perth, or had Perth's existence validated in any other way?
I've been there. Pleasant city. Very clean. Good zoo. Nice casino/hotel on the outskirts. Now, you just have to prove that I'm real, and not some sort of auto-Perth-replying 'bot.
What's truly new here? I'm not asking to be a wiseass, I genuinely would like to know what this is apart from relabelled standard practices.
What would be truly new and effective would be for people to stop making up and relabelling software processes, and to start actually doing them Almost any process is better than no process.
Now, Microsoft-written applications which use AJAX only try the MS ActiveX methods, and not the standard XMLHttpRequest() function. Thus, although most of the application could have worked in any browser, this simple omission by Microsoft insures it only works under IE (and locks you into their technology).
That's funny; Outlook Web Access works just fine for me on Firefox.
He also equated the open-source development model with 'Intellectual property [IP] socialism,' which he says 'is the worst that can happen to any IP-based society.'
Translation: "IP 'socialism' is the worst that can happen to an IP-dependent company in an IP-based society."
The name is going to be expressed in the form of a prayer. "Oh, telescope, ooo, you are so big, so absolutely huge, Gosh, we're all really impressed down here, I can tell you..."
The Georgist LVT gains its popularity from the idea that "so what if you tax land? It can't run away!" and "no one made land, why should you keep its value?". (The second ignores that land has to be discovered.)
Call me naive, but unless you believe in the Hollow Earth theory, hasn't all the land been discovered already?
I never thought I'd have an issue with identity theft, as a Vice President at a top 5 U.S. bank (in IT, of course). Two years ago, I was building a MythTV DVR PC, and wanted to get a good deal. I scoured the internet for the lowest prices on every individual component, and along the way, apparently ended up giving my Visa CheckCard number to the wrong person.
You're a VP of IT for a top 5 bank, and you're going around using your Visa Check Card online? And you still have a job? I would never, ever, ever use a debit card online!
I took a business trip to India a couple of years ago, and happened to see a bit of Indian MTV in my hotel. All of the Indian singers had vast throngs of dancers. Whenever an American or European act came on, it was jarring to only see the singer and four of five dancers. It looked like they just couldn't get the budget for a full-scale production.
Dancers are cheap. CGI, hi-res digital cameras, etc. are expensive.
Half the/. posts that will piss on this news have not ever used the product, let alone.NET.
Believe it or not, there are still people out there who use Visual Studio and don't target.NET. I've been using VS 2003 since it came out and I've never built a.NET app.
You're definitely right, but I think that starting out with the high-level languages is a good balance between abstraction and being able to have some powerful control. Start too high (Visual Studio, etc) and you risk not being able to easily understand what's really going on. Start too low (ASM) and you may be too frustrated to continue... or may not be able to understand 'the big picture' when it comes to programming.
I think you wanna start at the lowest possible level that still provides a relatively painless development environment and can produce visible, direct feedback.
Back in my youth, that was the BASIC interpreters on the classic 8-bit micros. Once you exhausted the limits of BASIC, it wasn't too hard to drop down to assembly for more advanced things that required complete control of the machine, and the assembly language was dead simple (two GP registers! Woohoo!). The Commodore VIC-20 even had an available assembler/monitor/debugger on a plug-in cartridge.
These days, it's almost impossible to get that kind of range on a home PC. You basically have your choice of high-level, very-high-level, or really-really-high-level. Doing cool stuff like hooking up some chips to an expansion port and making an LED blink and next to impossible. Makes me wonder how long it'll be before companies can't find new embedded developers anymore.
When I buy a new CPU, I use a slightly different metric. Bang-for-buck is important to me, but so is raw performance. So I multiply the two together: (units of performance) * (units of performance per dollar) = (perf units ^ 2 / dollars). This tends to yield a maximum at a couple of speed grades below the highest available, which is the point at which the prices really start to take off.
Porsches 911 are also directly related to the 1963 model
Enh, I think the straw that broke the camel's back was the switch to watercooling with the 996 model. The only things the current 911 shares with the original are the basic body shape and the drivetrain layout (and, of course, the fact that there is still no substitute;-).
I wonder how GWB's stance on emissions would be affected if a storm were to dismantle his ranch in Crawford?
The "Axis of Evil" would become Iraq, Iran, North Korea, and Mother Nature. (Mother Nature would come after North Korea because that's the order in which he would actually do anything about them.)
The same way Americans think Absolutely Fabulous, Are You Being Served?, Waiting for God, Monty Python, As Time Goes By, Red Dwarf, Benny Hill, The Young Ones and Keeping Up Apperances are funny.
And how many of those programs do you think would be successful in the Muslim world - assuming they'd even be allowed to be shown?
So to all you people beating on the Arabic adaption of the Simpsons, all I can say is welcome to how the rest of the world sees what you do to non-US culture.
Has it occurred to you that those of us who are bashing the idea are the ones who understand exactly what you're saying? Or are you too biased against Americans to have considered that possibility?
Why does the title give me a mental image of the scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail where King Arthur and co are trying to get into the Castle...

If it weighs as much as conventional "level I" armor, it's going to slow down the hmmmvs. At which point, a new fast unarmored jeep-like vehicle will be needed to fill certain roles.
Why not put more powerful engines in the armored Humvees? As I recall, the existing ones are kinda wimpy (originally 150 hp, 250 lb-ft, newer ones 170 hp, 290 lb-ft).
Unfortunately, from the article it seems ALONtm is noted for it's high compressive strength, whereas to build the sides of a whale-sized bath you need high tensile strength.
No problem - when you build the tub, make sure the walls curve slightly inward. That way, the water pressure will compress the material.

Oh, the WWW was also invented by Tim Berners-Lee (english) while working at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland.
And what exactly does the WWW have to do with DNS?
You mean... 1.2 jigawatts? I'm sorry, but the only thing that can generate 1.21 jigawatts of electricity is a bolt of lightning.
Well, that's why they're only generating 1.20 jigawatts, silly.

Not to mention the fact that neither the CIA nor the Soviets ever admitted that there was such a bug.
Would you expect them to?
So what name does this one get?

If I microwave my passport with that disable the chip? I need to know. My passport expires in 2009.
Maybe you should just "lose" your passport some time before next October.

You'd end up like that guy in Brainstorm who played the sex scene on infinite loop.
"Why do I have such a big penis? Does everyone else have a big penis or am I alone in having such a great big penis?"
Wow, I'm glad you posted this question. It really makes me feel better to know that I'm not the only one suffering in silence with this problem.
