Yeah, but the whole point of having the source in escrow is that you don't have to go through costly litigation to aquire what's rightfully yours. You just go to the third party and say give me the source, and they give it to you.
Now they have the problem of who owns the source (so they can make their demands) in the months or years it takes for this to be sorted out they're can't make any money cause they can't even get licenses. So basically they're screwed.
Bullshit, I have no sympathy for the telemarketers (yes the "underpaid" guys on the other end of the line). I had a friend who tried telemarketing for a while, he quit because in his words "it was just wrong". The only successful telemarketers are complete scumbags who couldn't get a job as a used car salesman because they're too dishonest. I would personally rather starve to death than become a telemarketer. Blah.
Why would this be of questionable legality, telemarketers do essentially the same thing. In the past I've gotten a new number that was unlisted, and within days had telemarketers calling. I asked how they got the number, and they admitted that the computer just dial every number with the prefix for a given area. Bastards.
you need to set your router to forward the ssh port (23 I think) to your machine. to configure the router just put the router address into your browser(you can find the router address in the network control panel).
To be able to find your computer try dyndns.org. they offer your own domain name like mysite.dyndns.org, and they have a client that will update your domain with your ip address periodically , this works great if your ip changes a lot.
This is just off the top of my head, so google around if you want. Also try macosxhints.com, they have a lot of really good advice about advanced stuff that is mac specific.
What's so great about having a software patent vs. having a copyright on the software? I mean doesn't copyright effectively last forever, whereas patents expire within a reasonable time? With the DMCA in the USA and similar legislation being passed in EU (What's the status on that?) seems like companies may have more power with their copyright than with a patent.
Anyway, ot question if copyright is supposed to expire like 75 years after the original author dies (In the Usa) what about companies that claim they own the copyright to something, does that mean the copyright expires 75 years after the company dies? It's not like a company inevitably dies, anyway I was just randomly thinking about that cause I just woke up and I'm stupid.
DC sucked at the time of Edison, and tesla because there was no way to up the voltage on dc. With ac all you need is a hunk of metal called a transformer. Upping the voltage is the secret to low line loss over great distances. With modern power electronics dc voltage can be increased making it just as efficient as ac over long distances (actually it's more efficient)
I think you're describing an implementation of an event driven program. The key thing that makes something event driven is that it waits for any one of many events to happen. It could be keyboard or mouse input, or it could be serial port communications.
But if you cash it at the issuing bank, you don't even need to have an account with them. Plus there are numerous check cashing places for people who don't have a bank account.
Have you played Morrowind? I've Got an Athlon 1800 w/ gygabyte 333 board, 512 MB ram, Gforce 4 ti 4600, and my frame rates are barely adequate. I'm talking 20 frames sec in outdoor scenes with lots of detail.
Game seems to be mostly CPU limited, and I think poor programming decisions are to blame for the bad frame rates. But it is an awsome game, but It would be so much better with like consitant 60 Fps.
Because the one thing I hate above all else in acrobat is the freaking scrolling where you have to give up the hand grabbing the paper icon and go click on the scroll bar because it doesn't recognize that you want to go to the next page
FYI in adobe acrobat on windows, goto edit->preferences select display set default page layout to continuous. Next time you open a pdf it will behave as you desire. I hate the damn default behavior too, and I always set it to continuous.
The other way is to have each course have a pre-determined exam slot. This means that if a particular course has the same exam slot as another course, you cannot take it.
At my school, the only classes that had exams at the same time, had class at the same time. So you couldn't have taken both classes anyway.
You need to remember that an actual correlation between Napster and increased music sales cannot really be made. Granted for the brief period of time in which Napster was around, the industry may have seen increased sales but don't make a correlation that isn't necesarrily true (even if we want it to be;] ).
Actually that's kind of the definition of correlation. I think what you mean to say is that a correlation does not imply a causal relationship. Classic example:
As the amount of Ice cream sold goes up, so to does the murder rate. This is a correlation. There is no causal relationship between the two. It just so happens that in the summer ice cream sales, and murder rate rise. Probably because of the heat, but then again that's just a correlation.
hollings, valenti, and disney are just pulling off one gigantic circle jerk in front of the mass media, and are expecting consumers to open their mouths and take it all over their faces. Then they go and whine when consumers don't swallow.
LOL, Nice analogy, been watching too much porn lately?
I'm not sure why they don't use satellites for internet, but meh
Probally cause it's expensive, last I checked the recieving equipment was like 700 dollars or something, and it only works with windows, and that doesn't even count the dish which is bigger than the regular dishes. I wonder why they don't do like the regular sattelite and give you the equipment for free as long as you sign up for a year or two. oh well, no fast internet for me out here in the sticks.

they want people who can sell stuff and make money for the store
This may be true for the salespeople, but they also employ techs who install software, and fix computers. These people don't have to sell squat. They probally want A+ certification to fix computers, like it's brain surgery or something. I looked through an A+ cert book out of curiosity, it's a joke.
It's more likely this guy can't get hired because he's over qualified. They don't want to hire someone who's going to leave in 5 months for a better job, and with his qualifications that's what he'd be doing.
, it lacks the easy-to-install-and-configure aspect that is holding it back from displacing Windows entirely in corporate America
Just thought I'd preempt a religous war about the ease of installation of modern linux distros. It doesn't matter how easy linux gets to be to install, windows comes pre-installed on most computers. Linux doesn't. Pre-installed beats install it yourself everytime, no matter what.
PPC 601 started at 60Mhz (approximately the break-even point to the emulation layer)
Actually the break even point wasn't reached until about 100 Mhz or so, not sure. But I do remember when the first ppc came out they were definatly slower than the old 040's. Still don't know how Apple pulled that one off (selling new computers that were essentially slower than previous models)
Seems to me javac is slow cause it's a java app, and when you run it it has to load up a whole jvm for like half a second of work. If you could just force javac to stay in memory it would probally be a lot faster. Oh well.

And like other people said, you do better putting a computer together from standard parts than buying a major brand.
Well that hardly helps me, I mean what am I supposed to do tell them this computer is shitty, I want to build my own. Not gonna happen
I think stability depends on what you're doing with your computer, If you install nothing on your computer, and do nothing with it, it tends to be stable. I might expect a little instability if I had installed a hundred and one doodads. but I had installed exactly one thing, and It has crashed 3 times. Insane.

simple:
if(!IsComputerOn())
StartComputer();
as for how IsComputerOn() works, I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.
Correct, that's why you should only use gold slabs. They cost a bit more but they never corrode!
