work for Microsoft? - i wouldn't turn down the offer:)
but my favorite language at the moment is Python. it just expresses things so well
I believe Microsoft funded a pilot project to port python to.NET but I don't think it has ever been completed. Now in.NET you can write something using as many different languages as you want - but you can still only run.NET on one platform!
using COM+ 1.5 services and / or the.NET framework to build Application Servers that are scaleable and efficent... much of the J2ee services are replicated in COM+ etc!
but microsoft does lack the vibrant communinty projects that help java app servers be built (Apache projects etc) not to mention the vendor neutrality - cross platform advantages. Now while Java is a mature language, i've got to say that C# impresses the hell out of me. just my 0.02cents
This issue is something i hope would never have happened in Australia. I didn't think ourGovernment was going to start censoring opposition parties and people that don't think in the capatalistic sense the WTO and so forth require.
The Police want to stop protestors because they cost too much to manage (as swinging batons and beating up innocent people costs a lot of money).
Funny thing is, the www.indymedia.com.au site they want to shutdown actually received state government sponsorship, to promote free media! The site cleary promotes NON violent forms of protests, but does allow for readers to post their opinons (much like slashdot). Should slashdot be banned as a result of a few bad comments by a few extremists?
This is an encrochment of our ability to respond to those acts by our government that we see as unjust.
No longer will protecting our wilderness areas, freeing refuges or stoping nuclear proliferation be tolerated in Australia. A sad day for all Australians.
Microsoft releases Windows CE inside furniture components.
2 bit administrators can now qualify for the MCFE - Microsoft Certified Furniture Engineer program
Now i wonder what a blue screen of death looks like when you lie on your couch....
This reminds me of the Babylon 5 comment:
You are trying to use the letter of the law to defy the spirit of the law......
Taking things too literally i guess is what lawyers are here for, no amiguitiy, rule by the book not from your head.. but the book was written before the internet, when time and innovation was moving at a fraction of what it is today.....
Also, her CD's state that:
"Unauthorized duplication, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing."
as opposed to the normal copyright clauses found on other CDs
If you'd read anything about Ani you may understand that she is not obsessed about sales or money, she wants to make / distribute good music for fans that will appreciate it, not to bribe fans into liking her by a bunch of advertising and sexy girls in film clips. Ani hasn't made film clips for her songs for a long time, i think she feels that it makes her music trivial.
Point is, she doesn't need a porno film clip to make her music sell!
My point is, if you want to look a porn while listening to music, put a cd on and get on the internet....
The slashdot effect has bitten again....
I wonder wether slashdotting a web server could be incorporated into the game as a tactical attack strategy on another countries IT systems....
I'm not sure that a short temper is the best survival instinct, getting angry with a snake doesn't always help. Getting angry in a meeting with colleagues also doesn't generally help....
Yoda and Skywalker are controlled and disciplend, not like our friend adam sandler...
"Brain activity" is surely one of those dimensionless metrics that are hard to quantify. However, I believe that the computer revolution (including the playing of games) is undoubtably altering the mental and physical development of users. We are but the sum of our genetic inheritance augmented with the sum of our experiences; thus if our experiences are strongly centred around a computer based existence then we are obviously different to a person who have more experience with the land or with other humans.
Now does this mean that people in the computer generation are LESS attentive, LESS social or LESS intelligent then other people? or perhaps the minority of people with a LESS social nature are adpating or naturally "drifting" towards computing as a way of life?
The point is, its hard to categorise people with a single analysis and then state conclusively the precursors to their condition.
My personal hunch is that the RIAA and other Entertainment Lobby groups have created this contest and that the results being used to infiltrate all computers in order to enforce the nonexistence of every possible algorithmic combination of DeCSS.
Why do linux ppls h8 admiting that there exists instability? The devil is always windows, a result of the foul taste left in our mouth afer using the Win95 variety of Windows. Win2K has run solidly on all systems that I have installed onto so far. I've had to do restarts, but its not as normal as it was in Win95 or 3.11... I've also had to restart my linux box, and a variety of Unix boxes. Thing is, software has a long way to go before we can guarentee stability as well as useability and extensibility - eg. the ability to do what we want doesn't always fall inside the scope of the Manufactures imagination.
The world is increasingly demading secure computing, so Microsoft are having to respond with there new "Palladium" marketecture.
The question is, will Government and Military organisations really want to trust a security architecture that has been embraced by the Entertainment industries? Can Microsoft put "Palladium" into every lounge room (just for all those teenage script kiddies), and then expect sales in the serious mission critical systems market.
Scary thing is, our monocultural software society that is activly retricted by a greed based patent system is going to allow this to happen....
I'm sure the government would like to be given control again. They could remove www.taliban.com from the DNS and hey, no more threat of terrorists. But maybe thats not what they want....
if you are that concerned with this "bug" then you can override (not quite oo overiding but its functionally usefull) the cstr function and catch the exception in an errorHandler.
There are many legitimate uses of the road network, unfortunately there are many illegitimate (transporting illegal drugs etc) uses as well.
The ability to copy data is not the issue, its what you copy....
