"The Department of Justice is arguing that there are simply too many comments to publish on paper, despite the legal requirement to do so.)"
The legal department does not want to do the legal thing. Amazing. That shows you they really are not commited to the Law. Thats _exactly_ like God not wanting to abide by his word. They should be the example of Law, and to hear them try to weasel out of this for whatever reason is unbelieveable.
True, but websites seem to be better at this. Even fan sites seem to be able to dish out the truth. I used to be subscribed to game magazines for 2 years till I found I could get better informatoion sooner online.
Then IE6 comes out with this cookie cutters and I stop receiving ads from the game sites I read online. I guess I've been sucking down info and not paying very much for it.
However, dont we all notice the success of Cable Radio and now satellite radio? And that its about the fact that some of us will PAY to get rid of stupid SPAMesque commercials??
Remember, usually small companies actually hae HUGE companies behind them. Like some small unknown long distance service could just be another name for ATT. Unfortunately, game magazines really seem to be independent and fighting for life where the web has pretty much eliminated the chance for it.
Its ashame. But they were kind of backed into this corner.
As far as I know, any privacy policy changes MUST be told to the users. At least its that way in Michigan. Isint that a law which was passed within the last 4 years?
The founding fathers new a thing or two about tyranny. The constution is a beautiful, though imperfect, thing.
If there was no public outcry, we would still suffer from their abuse, and you know they would "push the envelope."
Yea, they are getting a little ambitious. I am donating my time for a worthy cause. Not so someone can marvel at the fact they run MS Word on a cluster of a million computers...
As for white history month? White history was 4 years in highschool. And all thorough geography and math, and science, etc.
Not sure how many schools in America actualy have a single solitary Black History class.
If you think Black history is unnecessary, I would tend to agree. Just show Blacks in their proper light...In American History. Last time I picked up such a history book, it contained NO Blacks and I am talking about books even in predominantly Black highschools.
You certainly sound like a c# pusher. Not that I disagree with you totally, but you dont seem to have a problem with exagerating to the detriment of Java.
1. Java provides the sockets which are available on the OS. nothign in Java is 'real' in case you didnt notice, as its all in a VM.
Provide a reason why java's threading stinks. just saying it does not make it so.
2. OK, I am unsure why it would lack such a thing as it provides what is available on the OS, but if you say so.
3. Who needs to pass by reference when everything is already a reference. You dont seem to have used java because this is certainly not an issue.
4. I love javas event model, but I cant speak on CLR since I dont know it. You can make your own event model as that is part of the libraries and not the language.
5. Now your just being petty. Its stupid to have primitives as objects. THAT would be truly slow. if you want to remain so uptight, simply use 'Integer' inplace of 'int', every Java programmer knows that. 6. and you say your not an ms fan, bah. if its not virtual its not Java. Your arguement is not against java, its against virtual machines. I wouldnt write a game engine in a scripting language either, but I realize thats not what they are for.
7. boolean is not signed:D
8. unfamiliar
9. Java is an ever expanding language. If you want a feature lobby for it on javasoft.com. many people express technical visions and we have good discussions about pros and cons of many features. As for saying you must expressly catch every exception in Java just shows you dont program in Java because its false. When is the last time you cought a dividebyZero exception?
While operator overloading may beautify syntax, it most certainly is a source of confusion.
I can see no technical reason why that is a language requirement on his list.
hyperlinks are part of html or sgml. They are not part of http. So what does an ISP have to do with anything? Its the webhosts they should go after since its the web thats the only infringing item. email, FTP, telnet, etc. are all fine.
Seems stoopid to sue the ISP, I wonder what they are really trying to do. Think the CEO is selling his company short? he is certainly trying to run its image through the ringer.
You may think so, but Microsoft does not. This seems very similar to their new windows licences. At least M$ is pointing in that direction. They monitor every install now, thats just one step away from charging per install.
Do you think m$ would be interested in shipping OSes on this descructable media? I would bet they would. And of course the droves of companies that follow M$ lead as well.
As I have said. Most programs that have these overruns are locally installed trusted applications...(outlook express, ICQ...)
"safe" has nothing to do with security. "safe" is simply a programming paradigm like "strict", it does not have anything to do with security, maybe reliability, but not security.
Meaningless. Lets list some "safe" programs.
ICQ
AIM
IE
Outlook Express.
Real player
Morpheus
etc...
All installed locally. All decalred safe. C# will let all using pointers. All susceptible to buffer overrun exploits.
I absolutely HATE that. What is the point of cramming everything within a small window? I bought a big monitor so I can have visible space, but they want everything in one?
Its visually frustrating.
I have a windows box that most of my mundane stuff is done on. Everyday I pop open outlook express, read my main, and shut it down. Why should also my browser popup too?
Bare necessities, isint that what linux is all about?
Today security is measured in how long it takes you to break into a box, and not if you can break into the box.
So on the one shoe, you can say windows is much more bombarded and patched than Linux because so many "testers" are willing to "test" the security of windows.
But on the other hand, since security is measured in how long it takes to crack something, even though windows may end up with fewer holes, the fact is there are more "hole seekers" which effectively reduces the security.
Sure evolution may end with respect to each other. That is to say, the European does not evolve traits that the African does not, and vice versa. However, this does not change the fact that we all are part of the Earth population and will continue to grow more specialized in dealing with our common Earth environment.
As we destroy our environment world wide, those humans best capable of dealing with the hostile environment will slowly emerge over the long term. Thus, we will "evolve."
Yes the article is off basis because until we spread universe wide, we will always continue to grow more specialized to the areas in which we all habitate collectively.
The new Doom likely will require a no less powerful chip than the soon-to-be-released Nvidia GeForce3.
Suppose that was a brain fart. I thought I was reading an old article for a second but the date said otherwise.
Yep, in China you can get almost any DVD for $1. Basically for the price of the plastic its made on. And why not? they made their money at the movie theater. $7 movie tickets should come with a free DVD.
Its so interesting to see the world turn. American corporations have so much more concern about international politics that even the US government.
Uhm, dude, HDTV isn't Quake. If framerate was everything, movies still wouldn't be 24fps.
OK, then YOU tell me the point of HDTV? Up the resolution but drop the FPS? The effect will be the same, lower quality.
Seems as if the number of pixels sent to your TV in a second is not going up, if they do this, its going down.
Microwaves are EM waves with a certain wavelength, not "intentional radiation" as you've stated.
What does their wavelength have to do with wether they were used intentionally or not?
Power line radiation is incidental. In fact it siphons off power and is undesirable. HOwever, microwave radiation is ALWAYS intentional just like radio waves and cell phone signals. THese are intentional. Power line radiation, CRTs, and the like, those devices main purpose is not to generate radio waves. That was my point.
The largest generator of microwave radiation around is the Sun. Microwaves that are generated outside of microwave ovens are used almost exclusively for communications (which is not to say they aren't harmful, but not for the reason you state).
The Sun is not without its harmfull effects. ANyone who claims otherwise is foolish. I dont think I said why microwave radiation is harmful, just that it is capable of being so.
All in all, the bottom line is wether I have a choice or not in what type of radiation I am exposed too in a free country. Seems like the money says no.
We should establish a maximum power level which can be found in any residential neighborhood and argue over that. Not argue over wether or not radio waves at whatever frequency or wavelength can be harmful.
Uhh, my mouse does not burn my hand. If you remember CRTs about 5 years ago started to do what they could to reduce their emissions. If no one said anything, they would NOT have done anything.
The sun also causes cancer.
AGain, the choice should be mine, the government should not (in a free country) force me to expose myself to something which for whatever hair brained reason I consider harmfull.
Thats not what I said. I said they are "capable" of being used to transmit power. Those are not my exact words but I though I used the proper english to express that idea.
Sure electromagnetic fields drop off with the "square" of the distance. But so what. There is 1 simple point. They have said with scientific certainty that electromagnetic waves are harmless. That is a complete lie. Else nobody would wear lead jackets when they perform x-rays. Microwave ovens would not cook food. the Sun would not cause cancer.
This means waves have the "capability" of causing harm. They are claiming that they do not. I think they do. I am not overly sensitive. But I take it just like smoking. SInce I dont smoke, I dont want to breathe yoru smoke. Thats my right. So since I dont have a cell phone, why should your cell phone be transmitting through my head. Why should your power lines run past and irridiate my house? etc. That choice should be made on as much an individual basis as possible.

YOu should not go on, you should review.

Fail to understand you. You certainly can conditionally call methods in Java. Could u b more detailed?

Damn. Gonna get modded for that i know. Im used to being able to edit my posts... Disregard the previous post. It has been recinded.
Yea, I know. But I like to eat with my movies. I didnt put this whole theater in my basement to miss out on the egg rolls. I want the full experience.
