Yes. I was emensely disapointed with NWN. The Baldur's Gate games were masterful. Not only was the play style disapointing, but Baldur's Gate centered around a party of adventurers. NWN gave you control of a single character and a henchman. I understand that the goal was to make a fun multiplayer game, but IMO they made the single player game terrible. Definately not worth the change.
When you right a program using.NET you are supposed to use the.NET APIs not the Windows APIs. The.NET APIs are implemented in Microsft's comerical.NET, it's shared source Rotor project (on BSD) and in Mono (on Linux), and would have to implemented in any other implementation of.NET.
Thus a.NET program written and compiled to.NET byte code is binary compatible on any platfrom (as far as the actual code goes, i have no clue what kind of executable files Mono or Rotor compilers produce).
If you did happen to use a Windows API in your.NET code (and you'll have to go to some pains to do this) then of course your program wouldn't be compatible with non-Windows platforms. There's really no reason to use Windows APIs in.NET code for most applications becuase the.NET framework provides a decent interface for writting GUI apps.
I heard from someone who tried a few months ago that it gets extremely hot. He tried one on display that had been running for several hours and almost burnt his hand.
This was a few months ago, so it might have been a beta of some sort.
The article does a decent job of explaining what they'll do when the detect the gravity waves, but it doesn't answer an important question. How are the going to do this detection? Since we haven't been able to do this to date, there must be some new technology that was recently developed, or is being developed, that allows us to do this. Anyone know the answer to this?
This thing looks pretty sweet. If it actually picks up dirt and can do an entire room without recharging/emptying then i want one of these babies. The only crappy thing is that it can't get the corners, which seems to be where all the dust accumulates, at least in my appartment.
What I said was that anyone with a computer connected to a public network, a thing I like to call the "Internet", has a responsibility to secure his or her own computer so that it can't do any harm to other boxes on the net.
Patrick Warburton who played Putty in Siefeild would make an awsome superman. I know he played the Tick and that should didn't do so well on TV, but long before that I new he would make an aswome superhero.
He has this redidculous sense of confidence, that seems almost superhuman.
You've got to be kidding. So you're telling me my Grandmother is resposible for the security of your computer?
Try again, fool. Security is the responsibilty of the software programmer, whethere he's a Linux hacker or a code monkey for Micorsoft. It's he's job to make sure every computer running he's software is updated.
A lot of you hard core types aren't going to like this, but if there's a security whole in a program widely used, the only way to make sure the internet is secure is if the program is auto updated.
Of course the only thing to worry about now is that auto update is secure...:)
I hate to drag out the obvious once again, but have any of you ever interview for a job? For many, many jobs you'll have to write lots of code. In some interviews I was asked to write code that took several hours. This coding was done on paper (or a whiteboard) not on a computer.
Being able to code when you're not infornt of a screen is an important skill to have. You might not like it, but who likes taking tests anyways.
You obviously didn't read the article, you moron. They did run anti-virus software, just in brain dead fasion. According the article MS scans every file for viruses before they're shipped. Unfortunately, they only scan the files that are part of the product. The worm attached itself to a file it had created, so that file was never scanned.
A stupid mistake, yes, but you really ought to learn the whole truth, before you go around bashing people.

I don't know what backwards ass network you use, but the invention of TCP over IP sovled this years ago...
Since the anti-hyrdrogen would be made up of anti-electrons and anti-protons it would not neccessarily have to find a hydrogren atom. Just another proton and an electron (not to hard to find)
Their motivation? Isn't it obvious? If they switch a cluster to Windows they get to sell you one copy of windows for each node. And on top of that you'll probably wan't to switch to using VC++ to developemnt so they'll get to sell you a copy of that for each developer and then each developer will need to install windows on his/her machine so that's another copy of windows.

Its filled with Helium not Hydrogen, dumb ass. Helium is an inert gas, that means it's inert.
That worked for me for a while, but then I maxed out the 256 address banning limit. Now I'm back up to about 30 spams a day on that account.
Oh well.
What are you people blind?? That is not a penguin--it's a puffin.

Or possible move off of something stronger. :)

Way to point out other people's typos. Let's all bow down before the great proof reader ;)
I thought mouse gestures were introduced by Black and White. Didn't Opera "borrow" the idea from the game? Or is it the other way around?
Now that's what I call object reporting!

Yes this is terrible interview question.

Actually just the paper. If I somehow managed to produce a deed for your house, I could contest ownership of it in court.

umm... try asking it what 10**100 is. I think it has some overflow problems.

Phase 1: Sell Windows
Phase 2:
Phase 3: Profit
JET database engine != SQL database engine
Yes, well, VC++ never claims to be ANSI compliant. In fact its not. It's just close in most things.
