Phones have an "off" switch for a reason. If you don't consider that its default state, I guarantee that you annoy those around you.
What? I guess I never realised how annoying those vibrate-alert SMS messages are to others on the bus. It's not always convenient or considerate (or affordable;) to talk, so that's the most common way I use my phone, but if someone calls and it's not completely inappropriate (movies and so on), I'll take it and if they just want to chat, I'll call them back. A short, quiet call is never more than mildly annoying and jamming everyone's calls is as selfish as those who abuse the phones.
Nope, it doesn't do this for domain names, only things that look like keywords, no dots, spaces etc. You can turn it off/change the behaviour if you want. (Hell, you've got the source code if that's not enough:-P)
But Mozilla choose Google fairly arbitrarily - why not use Yahoo? Or Wikipedia? And anyone who argues "it's the #1 search option" gets a free copy of IE, the #1 browser, from your good friends at Monopolysoft;)
Okay, how about because it's the _best_ search option?
If anyone's confused, the parent is talking about Return to Castle Wolfenstein, not Wolfenstein Enemy Terrirory, for which the current version is 1.01 IIRC.
Kind of. The available options change between versions. Next time, copy in your old.config and run "make oldconfig". This will ask you if you want each of the new options.
Right, posting before coffee again.
For some reason I was thinking that you could have an actual ArrayList, rather than it being a restriction on the kind of ArrayList it actually is (or isn't, thanks erasure!).
I don't think it's grammatically correct, but it's certainly in common American usage. In NZ we don't call the years grades so it sounds like an error due to the missing article, whereas "in third form" sounds fine, although it's got exactly the same problem. Meh, I'll stick with "in grade 10".
But some people prefer oggs, while others' software/hardware can't play them, and the quality/disk space tradeoff is different for everyone. What's wrong with a simple non-corrupted audio CD, with maybe videos or lyrics or tabs on the disc?
Actually, 1.5 beta has been available for a few months now, but the link wasn't on the main java.sun.com page.
There was a very outdated (last changed July) early access version and some alphas you could obtain, including one that was semi-public, but they were buggier and had no docs.
Some of the changes -- new for() loops, generics -- will improve readability and maintainability too, but I worry that the new imports, and maybe enums, won't.
It's possible to write unreadable code in any language. With enums, replacing COIN_PENNY with Coin.PENNY seems to be an improvement, the only thing i'm not sure about is the fact that switches on enums are unqualified, such as:
switch(myEnum) {
case PENNY:// not Coin.PENNY ...
}
so to check what "PENNY" means you have to look for the type of myEnum.
As far as static imports go, they can be used for good or evil:) IIRC, they were mainly a replacement for the use of interfaces to gain access to constants.
Hmm, I'd been following the generics forum, but this hadn't occurred to me. Do you know why a distinction is made between ArrayList and ArrayList ? (in terms of design, not implementation)
yah broadcasting your username and password to every node along the way is such a good idea, saves some trouble of pharseing the html.
Erm, if this was sanely implemented, I believe it'd do the same thing as entering the password manually. This isn't something you use for sensitive passwords, obviously.
not to mention any spyware that sends back what you type into the adress bar
Yes, running untrusted software on your computer is a security hole.

You mean the other ten? Oh, THAT movie.

At the risk of sounding like yet another gentoo zealot:
Gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo gentoo!
I don't think so, ignoring any grammatical errors, "I'm feeling nauseous" means the same as "I'm feeling nauseated".

Isn't this impossible by the incompleteness theorem?

They plan to implement all the .net libs, but admit that they may have to compromise on this if there are patents involved.

Not that I have any problem with google, I just don't think that argument makes sense.
Um, I think you missed the boat on that one - iTunes has sold more than 30 million songs.
Network byte order is big-endian.
Is this true for screen as well as print? I always change the default browser fonts to sans serif, I (think I) find it easier to read.
No, he's talking about the two largest players in a single market - massive scale collusion by Intel and AMD!

I think "may be excluded" means "may be excluded by the user/in the link", so I would say they are breaking the spec.
I'm fairly sure PC133 memory will run fine at the 100 speed.
