So, they're going to re-disable raw sockets? I'd suggest that the IP implementation on SP2 is broken already. For example - when will you be able to send more than 8K in a single packet using a Java Socket on Windows XP Service Pack 2?
String sString = "Some string more than 8K"; Socket client; PrintWriter sock_out; try { client = new Socket (InetAddress.getByName ("127.0.0.1"), 5678); sock_out = new PrintWriter (client.getOutputStream(), true); sock_out.flush(); sock_out.println (sString); sock_out.close(); client.close(); } catch (EOFException eof) {
} catch (IOException e) {
}
Try it yourself - see if you can receive more than 8K in a recv() call in Windows XP SP2. You can't.
If you do the same on Linux or OS X, you can. On Windows XP SP1, you can.
What game? It's not going to be a game, it's going to be an asskicking. Bob Stoops at OU has proven time and time again that the way to beat Texasis to contain Vince Young, and make him try to beat you with his arm and not his legs.
Tressel knows this, and with the secondary Ohio State has (not to mention the offense) Texas is toast. Plus, Mack Brown is as big of a moron as Lloyd Carr is (hooray Lloyd - 1-3 vs. Tressel).
I live in Texas - these fans down here sure are proud of the vastly overrated Big 12... who the Big 10 consistently stomps the hell out of in bowl games.
OU struggled with an Oklahoma State team that the Buckeyes crushed. Texas struggled with a Michigan team that the Buckeyes manhandled... this could be a National Championship year for the Buckeyes, and I'm going to love every minute of it.
Corporate Burger King recently (within the last 5 years) chose a Quickservice Point of Sale application, developed and ran under Red Hat Linux.
They chose it over a Windows based POS. (Aloha, now owned by Radiant Systems.. though in Aloha's case POS = piece of shit)
So there's one. Don't you read trade magazines?
As far as Quickbooks, etc, have you ever tried GnuCash? It may have what you're looking for, and it's included on several Live CD's - take a look over on Distrowatch.com, pick one or ten, and try them out.
Yeah, between Urbina and Percival blowing a save, Jason Johnson lasting 1/3 of an inning, and Nate Robertson looking pretty bad last night.... I'm glad they're heading to KC.
Still think the Tigers will win the AL Central though - they'll settle down. Getting Magglio Ordonez back in the lineup will certainly help... though I'm still at a loss as to why they didn't just cut Higginson and go with Thames. Especially after Thames hit that Grand Slam against Cleveland.
sigh... I hate the Twins. I've despised them since 1987. I hate the way the AC comes on in the metrodome, blowing out to center when the Twins are batting but magically turning off when the visitors are batting.... and God Bless Bobby Valentine for taping streamers to prove it.
Absoultely. From the summary: Interesting, considering some of his criticism of Apple's work in the past."
An example as proof - I am a huge fan of the Detroit Tigers - and you should have heard me bitch when they traded half the team away for one season of Juan Gonzales (who mailed in his performance when he wasn't milking a debilitating pinky injury), when they hired Phil Garner to manage (ugh), when they fired Sparky Anderson, etc.
Still, I wanted (and want) the Tigers to succeed. This guy is probably no different - he wants Apple to succeed, he just critizes what he believes are dumb things.
Just because you are a fan of a team, company, or some other entity does not mean you should blindly overlook their faults.
"The BBC has a story which indicates that filtering firm Websense believes at least 200 fake blogs are in existence which have malicious code that could infect your PC, provided you run Microsoft Windows and Internet Explorer. Windows users utilizing Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, or other browsers are not affected nor are the users of Linux, BSD, BeOS (both of them), and any version of MacOS."
Why is anyone still using Internet Explorer? Even if the only browser your bank's site supports is IE, don't use it. Just drive down to the bank. Besides, some of the tellers are attractive women.
AOL Internet Phone Service...AIPS... rhymes with "Apes".
How fitting, considering most AOL users are only slightly more advanced than trained monkeys. And on the bright side, if you get this service you can look forward to koreans calling you at 4 AM asking you if you want a larger penis or herbal cialis.
The Nigerian VoIP Spam ought to be really interesting, especially if it comes with sounds effects like machine gun fire in the background.
I doubt anyone gets porn VoIP spam, though - people wouldn't have a reason to call 1-900 numbers anymore.
You and most of my in-laws. I live in Texas, and I'm glad Bob Stoops has had Mack Brown's number, and I hope it continues. Just like the way Jim Tressel has had Lloyd Carr's number. I hate the Longhorns... almost as much as I hate U. of Michigan.
I'd like to see OU play Ohio State. Ohio State's defense is vastly underrated - especially A.J. Hawk. Man that guy can fly to the ball. Oklahoma also has a great defense, and as far as offense - Adrian Peterson vs. Ted Ginn - two heisman candidates squaring off - that'd be a hell of a game.
Nah, MS will just open up an Austin office, to associate themselves with the University of Texas Longhorns (who are going to get absolutely creamed by Ohio State - mark my words. Ted Ginn Jr. is unstoppable, and Troy Smith hung more yards than anyone else on Michigan..).
If Apple truly wanted to market "Tiger" with a Tiger, I'd suggest the soon to be AL Central Division Winners... the Detroit Tigers, instead of a golfer who quite honestly has been Vijay Singh's bitch lately.
Oh well - other than that, this April Fool's joke was actually pretty clever.
Actually if they ponied up for Qt, they could get it running under Windows and Linux fairly easily.
But you're right - developing for Windows sucks. I would know. (Plus, in your list, you forgot to add ATL/COM, to take advantage of a bunch of crappy.ocx controls.)
ls is an application. It's a utility, not part of the kernel.
The reason IE is part of the Windows operating system is because of mshtml32.dll, shdocvw.dll, etc. - System DLL's that explorer.exe uses. Really, all IE does is to wrap the browser control and provide bookmarks, etc.
In all seriousness, this is not a bad thing - it promotes code re-use in the Windows code base and prevents Windows developers from having to continually re-invent the wheel (or browser). The problem is that IE (ahem, the Internet Explorer_Server Window Class) is a complete piece of vulnerable, buggy, garbage.
It's really easy to use though - Anyone can write a simple MFC based browser - just use CHTMLView for your view class, add an address bar, implement navigation buttons, and hook it up to either the correct CHTMLView member function or the correct COM call if you're doing it that way, and you're done. Should take 2 hours tops.

Loop parallelization (Intel Compiler setting) makes a huge difference.
What is it? Let's say you have this:
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { ... }
The Intel Compiler will try to run i=0-4999 on one CPU (or core) while running 5000-9999 on the other. It makes a HUGE difference in a lot of image processing (TIFF G4 encoding, for example).

Thanks, Microsoft.
Vector 5 SOHO would be a good choice. Uses KDE, and it's optimized, and is pretty nimble.

I also like the research done on the football field.

Me too, I really like their optical mice. They feel more comfortable in my hands than a Logitech or generic brand.
Oh, wait, you were talking about Windows? Well Engineered? To quote Dan Akroyd: Jane, you ignorant slut.... ;)
Opera's biggest money flow is selling the web browser to mobile phone companies, as Opera does a fantastic job of rendering things to a small screen.
Perhaps this is the business model they're going after with Firefox?

Totally. I miss watching that show on Comedy Central, funny, funny stuff. Though that bald guy was pretty funny, too.
