Right, but what is your burden of evidence? Unless your bank is willing to take your word that you didn't make the transaction, this is worth the paper it's not printed on.
I posted it because I noted the majority of my peers were using Azureus while downloading the new iso. Obviously, people were just not aware there are robust alternatives, because not many people choose Azureus if given a native alternative that works.
(I have nothing against Azureus or Java, it's just that their current implementation chugs system resources like crazy)
Everyone, please stop using Azerus. Deluge is a native gtk bittorrent client that supports encryption and is speed-comparable to uTorrent. It is in "Add/Remove Programs" in 7.10.
Copying the look and feel is how we got into this mess. If your main software goal is to be "just like some other product" you're already doomed to loose.
As for.net interoperability? Never. I however would love to see python interoperability. Then you could have your.net from IronPython.
However,.net is not a platform I want to see OO bank on. Microsoft will patent slap mono so fast if it lost serious marketshare it wouldn't be funny.
Uh security is easy. Don't run programs from writable media. If you do, restore the media once a day (and also keep up with patches / other best practices). Anything else is snake oil.
Always assume someone has a zero day rootkit for every server you run. You live in fantasy land if you think there aren't hackers that could pwn your system instantly in this world.
It'll be nice when the european / asian languages collapse with the rise of the internet. Can anyone honestly justify the existence of French anymore? In 100 years it will seem quaint that we once associated languages with country boundaries. In 1000 years, sci-fi's dreams of "common" will become a reality.
Hopefully it's either Japanese or English (or a combination of them). Japanese has the advantage of handling new words quickly, and a more advanced future tense. English has an advantage of having all the cruft from the other European languages, with the most complete timeline until you get to russian/czech.
So if I license you to make a movie out my book and you have to pay me $1 million, if you don't pay me, that's a breach of contract. If you sell copies of my book, that's copyright infringement.
The film is also a breach of my copyright, as a film is a derivative work.
5) Sorry, I failed to read your reply the first time after I saw C++ (after a while teaching Java you end up kind of ignoring people after they say C++). Grades are not based on trivialities. I do not require anyone to use eclipse, that would be pointlessly stupid.
I'm trying to teach professional programmers how to think. I really could care less what tools they use in the process, but I foud that students who don't use the right tools tend to do poorly as they are constantly distracted. As such, it is my prefessional educational advice to use Eclipse when people ask me, and we spend 1/2 of a lecture coving the basics of it in CS1.
1. Yes, I read the standard on a regular basis. Javac has many bugs, netbeans compiler has many more.
2. Because I don't teach "intro level" classes. This isn't AP CS. I'm teaching people how to not suck at programming. Some 50% of them will get paid to do it professionally someday.
3. I really could care less if students type everything in, the vast majority do not need to type everything every time. We test them by having them program on paper. If they don't learn the material, it becomes painfully obvious there.
Also, I forgot. Eclipse error messages and line identification are probably the best I've ever seen from any compiler/editor ever. ejc gives some of the most readable error messages I've ever seen, except on generics problems.
As one of those instructors, there are many reasons I recommend eclipse.
(1) Netbeans has compiled code for students that javac refuses, causing them to fail an assignment. This was entirely the fault of their compiler being broken.
(2) Eclipse refactoring pretty much takes the cake. No one else even comes close.
(3) If you know how to use Eclipse well, you can write about 50% of the boilerplate java code (or about 90% of the code in an intro class) using dialogs and menus.
(4) Unless you're in the vim camp, I've never seen anyone save time not using Eclipse.
(5) All my A students for the last 6 semesters have used Eclipse, except one who used vim. I used vim then switched to eclipse myself. All my students that use other IDE's tend to get B- or worse.
The real problem here is "production costs" are now in the realm of $10k to produce a quality CD. To produce pop rubbish cheaper stuff can be used and you're looking at being able to do it for $5k or so.
The days of the production costs argument are over. Studios are quaint, and optional.

Astroturf or troll or karma whore? I can't decide.
Obviously these aren't your real thoughts.

"Microsoft does not comment about pending litigation?"
This means Balmer's linux patent threats contain no litigation that is pending?

You know how fucking tired this argument is?

Done.

Uh, your firewall was bypassed when you gave end users windows machines.
"We see [linux servers] as part of the command and control networks for botnets."
Fear our new linux overlords?
I agree partially. The problem is in ugrad there are a lot of students I wouldn't trust within 10 feet of a blackboard.
The rest would make crappy powerpoints as they learned how to do in Speech 101.
And the end result is no one would learn anything of value.

Don't forget separable prefix verbs in midwest grammar. They are fun to make fun of.

Mac users get targeted because they have an extremely large amount of disposable income compared to their market share.
Sean
Lame, and a good reason to include an invalidation clause in future contracts I sign :(.

Maybe they switched, I will re-evaluate it.
Thanks.

No. In most cities, the city has granted a monopoly to a single provider.
Sean
Ditto. My usual though when I go through security is "So this is where the people that aren't good enough for McDonalds go."
