Theres nothing i hate more than that. It pisses me off. Nothing should snach the cursor away while I am typing. YOu hit the spacebar which is like 'enter' for selections in windows. You have no idea what you just agreed to.
Seems like a dumb UI thing that should have been fixed ages ago. Error messages come up from who knows where sometimes. There's not even history to figure out what you just did. Usually you find out within a few days though..
Linux does this too, but I'm not sure they have the spacebar being the default key problem.
How about treating him like a criminal in front of all his buddies for the last 5 years that may be contemplating exactly what he just did.
Its just dumb for a company to do. If its done the company should look at which of its employees is requesting it to be done and question its necessity. Some people are just bad people that like to abuse their "power."
What we really need to look at is the behavior of companies towards the people they employ, and the people they consider customers. Not to pick nits but...companies don't behave, people do. Normally you would call them cowards.
Yes. Fuck them. They wont get two weeks from me. I have seen them do this to people I respect. And I fully expect them to do it to me. When/if I leave, its with 1 day notice. And why not, they are asking for it are they not?
If I don't have a personal relationship with my boss, its here today, gone tomorrow. Its a courtesy to boss, corporation has no need for courtesy.
Thats ok with me. Much harder to bribe 1000 different bloggers, than to bribe a single news organization. It will return to status Quo if the bloggers organize into some tightly nit network.
1) It wouldnt be $5 a song unless other people were willing to buy it. 2) Individual piracy would be reduced since the price would fit the market demand.
You can add 100 threads if you have valid reason and that is not cheating. But when you are adding threads for speed and not for responsiveness then threads beyond the number of available processors is indeed cheating. It will only benefit you if you are sharing CPU time with other programs. If you are dedicated, then it will tend to slow you down even.
I saw something on TV the other day. An ad. it was for some Superman something.
They had him flying with the Sun rising behind him. Then they had his dad sending 'his only son' to Earth because Earth needed him. I had to do a double take to see if I was watching Comedy Central.
Results has nothing to do with it. THis is not new. THis is how us companies use to be. Its reflected in their names even. But when you start hiring cronies that have no technical skills to do the management, then you start down a new path of politics and incompetence due to inability to comprehend the technology.
Look at Japanese auto-makers. You will see their upper management are people that mostly started as mechanics and engineers, etc. and have been with the company 50 years. When you give a presentation to Japanese company, management wants to know technical details. You can _not_ BS them.
In the US typically upper management has no idea what you are talking about. So You have a seperation where people capable of understanding the technicals do not understand the financials and vice versa.
The Japanese will continue to smash US car companies as long as this is the case.
Intel has been marketing this way for as long as I can remember starting with the built in co-processor. It has worked well for them too.
It is a marketing ploy. In multiprocessing world performance and responsiveness mean distinct things. In the marketing world I guess intel felt it was ok to substitute the word 'performance' where responsiveness should have been.
I don't entirely agree. AMD's multi-core architecture was targeted from the start toward servers. And its quite fair to say servers benefit from it. With HT, servers are not benefiting from it in their 'server' capacity. That is, if the server is loaded, which is the job of a server-to be loaded) then HT benefit is reduced.
Basically HT provides greater responsiveness, than performance so it should be targeted toward desktop not servers.
Its ok to have drawbacks, but they should not be in the thing you are designing for or rather advertising for.
Depends on the architecture. Its the sharing of memory that slows them down. This is why CPUs intended for multi setups have additional cache on-board. If there is no memory contention then the dual can appear more responsive, but i would never call it 'faster.'
Quite interesting. So SQL Server spawns processes as opposed to threads when it finds a second processor? I can't imagine thats true. What exactly do you mean by a 'full CPU's worth of load'?
The only situation I can imagine is if SQLServer spawns say, 2 threads per CPU for performance. But this is a cheating way to get more CPU time and I wouldn't expect a _server_ class program to do such a thing when such a program would tend to expect its getting dedicated CPU anyway.
Cable model and Cable box must be terrible. They are always hot to the touch which is a pretty bad sign.
In my house the stove also has a clock. Any transformers you plug in will draw and waste power whether you are using them or not. Transformers are inside what folks nowadays call a 'brick.'
In the automotive world we entertained a 5v power line in addition to the 12v since all the computers in the car will need 5v, but the noise issue has not been solved yet.
Perhaps its time for a house to along with the 120v a/c to have 12v dc plugs. Then you can have just a single transformer instead of 1 for scanner, modem, cellphone, answering machine, and every other device with a cpu inside...
I'm not sure that defence would hold up. Its been proposed before by hardware produces of such things as routers, when its discovered their routers are using GPLed code. Though they were not directly distributing the software, it was viewed the same way.
I'd venture to say, especially when you think about the GPL, there can be multiple distributors. In this case, both must meet their obligations.
That is so uninsightful. Free market is the poors worst enemy. Freedom favors those prepared to use it. Poor people are not prepared by definition. Or perhaps you mean a 'pure' free market where money is not power. As you can see even NAFTA is not providing the free market it claims.
Hording does not make wealth, but it helps to keep in. Actually its the governments primary function (in USA) is to ensure the protection of wealth. Certainly the wealthy are pushing laws every day to ensure this as well.
I agree, don't be folled by class hatred, racism, religious extremism. They are all ways to get one powerless person to blame another powerless person for the results of the exploits of the wealthy.
Of course as long as poor people desire to be 'rich' the situation will never end. Richness itself requires a degree of exploitation.
I find methodologies are like other tools. If they buy you time, and your dilligent, that time will be spent on quality. So its not likely to both buy you time & quality. If you seem to have more time its only because you have not spent it on quality.
Exactly. Which is why I had to do a 'say what' about the article. The presence of vapor is an indication of absorption of energy. Not release of energy. Vapor does not represent a heating, it represents a cooling. Its how us mammals cool ourselves.
However, if this leads to more energy absorption from the atmosphere/space I couldn't say.

This does nothing for insider piracy.

Wha about those fucking dumb ass menus that slide out a whole 3 items and force me to press this down button every single time i use the menu?
Can I turn that off too?

As will most businesses. In fact, saying not to upgrade until 2008 is like asking businesses to upgrade sooner!
EULAs and contracts do not trump other applicable laws. No they can not win.
I'd be terribly surprised if Microsoft would allow such a running to be considered certified.
