France may look very peaceful by denying Bush their support during the Iraq invasion, but the masquerade stops right here. How come a tiny country with rubbish economy (17%+ unemployment) is involved in this type of deal. France is a worldwide provider of weapons to whomever wants to sign the big checks (African and South American wannabe dictators mostly) and Dassault, the infamous jet fighter builder, has been building these jets that kill thousand of innocents by dropping bombs on their villages. Discuting and very hypocrit, don't you think?
Looking over the formatted text in column, all I can say is that it's missing hyphenation big time. This full justification without hyphenation just look hideous.
To be really precise, the Apple ][ in 1977 has a mixed mode with 192x160 hires graphics on top of a 4 lines of 40 columns ascii display. That was called mixed mode.
Here is one identity I would like to know about. This guy from the old MacWeek fame was hilarous.

They list the Killer which is now out of print for about 4-5 years from the publisher and when a copy pops up on ebay, it sells right away for $400. What type of selection is that?
Wow! Nice cars! I really can't afford them but Mercedes are nice to look at. What do you mean "look on the left side?". Oh! the article was referrring to the left side corner, not the prominent product advertisement from Mercedes?! If you mean this crappy hardware made by some kids, forget it then...
I started the installation and went to do some shopping (xmas) to come back and have a dialog on the screen asking me to quit iCal before it could get updated. D'oh! That was prior to installing and "optimizing" (wtf?) the big update. I know that it's ok because I didn't have to restart everything but... Would have it be nice if the installer had asked me AHEAD prior to download to quit iCal instead of waiting the middle of the installation? Doing installs of Quicktime brings up the same stupid dialog (update to pro.) Why does Apple assume that users keep their eyes on the screen during install at all time? A better way would be to answer all questions for every single update upfront then go with the install.
You are confusing C#, the language that MSFT is pushing with.NET) and CLR, the bytecode and virtual machine. C# doesn't have generics yet, but managed C++ does. When C# does come up with generics (next major release), it will be the role of the compiler to generate CLR bytecodes out of your program files in the most elegant way possible, and without I hope, creating bloatware ala gcc 2.7 when templates were implemented in the gnu compiler.
Here is one I'd like to hear about. MSN redirects you to any URL you receive in your hotmail account by prepending one of their server cgi URL. Any URL embedded in your message including https ones that often require you as a first action to log your name and password are going thru a non-secured MSFT server. If you miss the redirected banner, and you type your name and password, then where do the info goes? How about security and privacy breach for a change.
I personally use Optimizeit Suite for Java development from Borland software as early as possible in the development cycle. This gives me an edge to keep the code fast and efficient without too many efforts. Including the profiling process in your development cycle avoid big surprises that you have to fix even if it's sometimes too late to revise your programs. Performance sometimes involves re-evaluating algorithms and that can't be done in code freeze.
As it turn out, then even have a profiler for.NET that has just been released.
On one side the marketing at Intel is pushing for 802.11a, and on the other side, the company offers technology with 802.11b only. What you can get from Intel as far as Wi-Fi in the new line of x86 laptops is an inferior 802.11b. Intel 802.11b chipset is significantly worse than other players like broadcom that even reviewers of ZDNet flag the chip has been mediocre.
And currently, if I want to get a laptop with 802.11a or both 802.11a/b (which makes more sense currently since a is not so popular), I can not buy anything with Intel Mini-PCI chipset in it (Centrino technology, not the banias but the wireless stuff, is 802.11b only).
The new laptops with 802.11a/b all come with the superior Broadcom chip that has been licensed to Philips, IBM, Dell, etc...
It appears that Intel marketing droids are at work on some cool idea, and the engineers are developing something else. Not too uncommon for a company of this size.
