These days, modelling is a pretty much mandatory for group projects. OO help tremendously because it (if used right) enforces an organization of functionality that is far more easily modelled than a "functional" language.
It's also easier for me to keep it neat and tidy. I like that.:)
I support change. Drastic change. Like, revolutionary change. But the fact remains that while I choose to be a member of this society, and while I choose to partake in its distractions and pleasures, I respect its rules and laws. This is the pretense of a society. Take it or leave it.
The Boston Tea Party was pretty illegal, I'm sure.
Good point. Let's not forget that most MUD's are really glorified telnet servers. Secrecy is not exactly a selling point for these sites as meeting places for "terrorists." I rather just use PGP-encrypted email. Send the keys on a floppy. Presto!
It was some weeks before I noticed I even had spam in my Gmail account. It has thus far filtered spam with one hundred percent precision. Best I've seen anywhere.
This is my experience, too. Out of the hundred or so spam messages I have received thus far, not a single one has escaped my spam folder. Also, no false positives, yet.
BTW, doesn't GMail allott invites based on how much mail you receive? I have ten invites right now, the most I've ever had.
Cygwin is native-Windows. It's nice to run from CD because the cygwin installer is irritating to operate. The reason it's preferable to other native Windows XServers is that all the rest are either expensive, or suck.
Bingo. I used KiaX at the time, and it blew big-time. Not even close to being as nice as x.org.
No matter how stupid the P2P laws are, it is good when they are enforced. It is not anyone's right to break the law, no matter how silly the law is.
How would you like to spend 10 years in prison + $10,000 in fines (as per DMCA) for breaking the speed limit? Heck, going 40 in a 35 is more of a public risk.
Now, since we all know damned good and well you go 60 mph in that 55 mph highway, feel free to get off your high-horse any time you wish.
Yes, but use X to do WHAT exactly? Click on pretty buttons over and over again? If I can't have cygwin on disk, able to manipulate files, save scripts, etc, what's the use, really? The few Unix apps that are worth the trouble of running in an X11 window on a Windows box, already have native ports.
The debugger that came with our version HP/UX server did not have a console interface; it was GUI only. That means we had to have X to log in an do any debugging work on our apps.
What "names" are they talking about? And a 15 minute ad?! Are they fucking insane?
The Magic Clue-Ball(tm) tells me the New York Times is a newspaper, not a TV station. That means no moving video. Some things should be spelled out. Others belong to that category I like to call "general knowledge everyone but you seems to know".
Did Anderson know the emergency readiness of each and every Dow chemical plant in the world? I think not. Certainly, someone one, probably an officer, is responsible. We shouldn't pass the buck up the CoC straight to the chairman, though.
Microsoft Visual Studio is neither visual, nor is it a studio.
It could also be said that Microsoft Works doesn't, and neither does Microsoft Excel. Microsoft does give easy Access, though, because it's hard to lock your Windows.
Perhaps Microsoft is being more metaphysical? "Try Visualizing a Studio, and you will be there." Sort of a cosmic humanistic what-you-feel-makes-it-real type of software value-add delivery.
n00b. Back in my day, we had to crank our Rapiers and Claymores with a winch. When it got stuck in the snow, we had to get out and push it all the way to Kilrah and back, uphill both ways! We also didn't have any namby-pamby Mark Hamill playing our lead. No, sir!
Man, Origin really did "not suck" before EA bought them. Ultima 9 sealed it for me: EA sucks. It's in the game.
a proto-native american man picks up a nice looking stone in asia, on his way across the land bridge. when he dies, his son takes it as he migrates south. over the years it ends up in the location it was found.
Easy. Just look on the tools for a "Made in the USA, Stone Workers #502" stamp.
All browsers are affected by various security issues. Need I remind you that the current version of Mozilla is 1.7. 3 ? This is solely due to security issues.
As of last month (I don't have time to look at current numbers), 44% of all IE security vulnerabilities that have ever been reported to Secunia.org still exist. Over a third of these are rated high to critical. I did a search for Firefox defects, and you know what? They didn't have any open issue reported.
Maybe Microsoft should learn how to do dot-releases, too.

I'm not particular knowledgeable about RMS' views nor do I support them.
You should change your moniker to "UninformedContrarian."

Thank you for your contribution, citizen. Your colla-- help is safing the world betterwise to raise all of our children.

Thanks for the advice.
You'll need to start over with your Favorites and they will not remember your logins.
Yeah, and once you start over, it remembers them. Your argument is specious at best.
So when is IBM going to put this into practice? I'd like to know when, for sure, IBM is going to eat its own dogfood.
I'd like to see IBM endorse the Linux desktop as a solution of all tiers of business.
...and a place to put in the correction if they mis-typed your name.
:'(
What if they forgot my name altogether?

I could have used something like this.
Please let there be no new "Did Sollog see this one?" meme. Let it die faster than the old people in Korea meme.
Just as soon as you stop using the "meme" meme.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go puke now.
...that looked at the title and thought "Cool! An interview with Hopcroft and Ullman."
Then I click and see the doll dusting the picture, and I go mad Cthluthlu-style.

On the other hand, Linux is a potential legal minefield, Windows is dangerous and Solaris is too hard to understand.
Yeah, but at least our mice can right-click! Ooooooo...
Likely as not, you typed suprnova.com or .net instead of .org.
Naw, don't you remember? SCO cleared them and HP without even looking at their code.
