Are there any restrictions on how I use the Visual C++ Toolkit?
In general, no. You may use the Toolkit to build C++ -based applications, and you may redistribute those applications. Please read the End User License Agreement (EULA), included with the Toolkit, for complete details.
From the EULA.... Oh wait, I'd have to waste half an hour downloading the compiler to read it. I'm sure there's an evil clause in there. Best thing I could find relating to VS.net runtimes was this old gem:
You may not disclose the results of any benchmark test of the.NET Framework component of the OS Components to any third party without MicrosoftÃÂ's prior written approval.
Good luck benchmarking a few billion (more?) possible combinations. Even if you had an iterative solution for this, the GA would probably find a decent solution much faster than it would take for the iterative solution to complete.
One group consisted of 60 users aged 25 to 55 with computer skills but no prior experience with Linux or Windows XP.
They're either talking about old DOS users, or Mac users, and go on to say that "83% of the Linux users said they liked the design of the desktop and the programs, compared with 100% of the Windows XP users."
I've never met a Mac user who would even come close to complimenting the Windows XP interface, let alone a whole gaggle of them. This reeks of bias.
This is the equivalent of the government saying "no, sorry, nothing happened". Just because they realeased their "offical documents" doesn't mean that: A) they're true B) they're complete and most importantly C) they aren't counter-intelligence. Our government still has much to gain from having some sort of advanced technology. I suspect that once the world is dominated by one country, one culture, one affinity, that we will actually know the truth. But then again, the only proof may or may not be locked in a hanger somewhere, it's hard to tell.
I challenge Mr. Lackey to find ONE store that would mind if I walked in, picked up a copy of Star Wars, ran my hands over it and put it back on the shelf, unharmed.
You missed the part about walking out of the store without giving providing them any revenue. If everyone does this, there are no stores to provide said service, and as such, you are a leech, not a normal consumer.
Quote from the parent's article: Furthermore, the GNU compilers we used do not employ the vector units on the Emotion Engine processor.
I would suspect this particular cluster would bypass these benchmarks dramatically, because they are making use of the most powerful unit in the system.
Now this is just plain wrong, not to start a flame war. We know that i+1 > i for all i, without having to test each case. We are reasonably certain that there are infinite primes, and are sure that PI has an infinite number of digits. Did we compute either to their entirety? No. We can use induction to figure those out. If each interface is built with a proven induction hypothesis, code will never fail. However, code can be overly complex, and people make mistakes, aren't knowledgeable enough to produce said code, and definately don't certify that their code will provide said results. While I do agree with you that you can't test for every case, this doesn't mean that perfect code can't be constructed.
..I'd rather wear one of these than read through that thing.
Seriously though, memorizing the periodic table in school was far easier for me than things like the MLK speech, the pre-amble, the 'To be or not to be' soliloquy, and whatnot. Flashcards will do wonders for small bits of information that you can later forget and look up on tshirts.

Its a fact that most Windows users run Windows 98 and a version of Office before XP.
AFAIK, this is quite the opposite. I personally talk to 20+ people a day who run various flavors of windows, and XP seems to be the most popular choice, along with either Office 2000 or Office 2002. This is all in a business setting, of course. Remember that the average computer write-off for most companies is 3 years, so I'm not surprised that this is the case.
Slashdot Mirror
You're looking at it, bud. If it weren't for slashdot.. well, we'd all be in our basements doing.. alright you win.
However, considering it cost virtually nothing to get the thing, I don't think this was particularly unfair.
Not to be unfair, but I've got a fairer solution. Just season with a genetic optomizer.
The day Microsoft releases a real cross compiler is the day I'm going to add a layer onto this here foil hat of mine...
Seems firmiliar.. ahh yes.

Stage trees anyone?

Why do programmers get halloween and christmas confused? Because OCT 31 = DEC 25
Wow, this link got slashdotted merely from the comments section. Mirror anyone?

I don't know as much about the Pentagon's communications. It'd be interesting to find out about them.
Have men in black suits shown up knocking on your door yet? (I'd post AC, but hiding from the DoD is like trying to fit 5 cows into a Honda Civic.)

You underestimate the power of the force.

No I didn't see it, it was already slashdotted. Thanks for the mirror.
Now, it's funny when /. can not only break a university site, but an indie-mirror site and all of its mirrors as well.
So what you're saying is that we've got 2000 years until the next "big one". Time to invest in some porcelain!

Yea ok I'm an idiot who clicked on the wrong article. Just ignore me.
Just thought I'd point this out
