I don't know about you, and maybe it's just that I'm used to control being in the corner (very likely now that I think about it), but I find that thumb reach less comfortable.
Now, I flopped my caps lock and ctrl key so that it's a very small motion to hit ctrl. I tried it on the Sun keyboards in the comp sci labs at school and won't go back.
That's okay, here in the US we have to pay a mandatory license fee to PBS and NPR even if we don't have a machine that can receive the transmissions. Except we call it 'part of our tax'...
Actually, SEH is entirely orthogonal to the language issue.
MSVC provides non-standard extensions for C and C++ code, sure, but even if you compile C++ compliant exceptions with MSVC, it translates it behind the scenes to SEH.
SEH is the way that exceptions are implemented, and is thus not connected to language features.
Say a movie. Does the grip who set up the lights in 3 scenes have to make 10 million before it will run out before the 10 years?
If not, then you're actively discouraging collaboration and, IMO, being grossly unfair to projects that require massive numbers of people.
If so, stuff like that movie are NEVER gonna go out of copyright before the 10 yrs. are up because that grip is being paid a salary and not a percentage of profits, so you're being unfair to smaller producers unless the limit is so hugh that it almost never triggers, so you essentially mught as well not have it.
I agree with the other poster who says that the money limit is a bad idea and that the market should determine value. Say make as much as you can in so many years (I think 5 yrs is too short myself; I'd go with the original (for the US) 14 yrs with a 14 yr extension) and then it's open.
You know, I hate that particular omission as much as anyone else, and have complained about it to various people, but I think it's a bit of a red babel fish overall. I think taht particular omission is the exception rather than the rule. (Though what happened to the "this must me some strange new use of the word 'safe' I wasn't previously aware of"?)
That's called DUMPING, and it's against the law. He also claims, also correctly, that the FSF engages in price fixing by getting multiple vendors to agree to give their products away for free. The is anti-competitive, because it prevents other vendors who don't want to give their products away for free from entering the market.
Can you please cite statutes?
The only ones mentioned in the case are a jurisdictional one and one about remedies (15 USC 25 I think). None of the sections the latter mentions as applicable has anything that I can tell these people are violating...
No, of course it doesn't excuse them. And I'd give anything I have if it meant that the democrats would actually become an effective party again.
I'm just saying that you can't blame the current state of affairs on just the Republicans, because as many Democrats voted for the DMCA as did Republicans. It's the GOP that's mounting the current offense, but I really don't think I can say with much confidance that I think the Dems wouldn't if they were in the same situation.
I've been playing with LaTeX's Beamer package to do presentations. I just tried to open a few samples with GSView under Windows.
The first (beamerexample1.pdf) brought up an error message and didn't load.
The other big one (beamerexample5.pdf) crashed GSView.
Finally, for the files that did work (the other examples and my presentation), the full screen mode doesn't work properly by default. It opens and takes up about 1/3 of my screen height and width, and doesn't expand to full screen. You have to hit F6 to get it to expand. (Which you have to actually know because there's no menu.)
Another example (the full example for pdfscreen) works (slowly) for a bit, but then brings up an error message and closes.
In neither file are transitions (such as dissolves, auto forwarding, and wipes) supported.
This may be with a slightly older version of GSView, and I don't know how much changed. For most documents Ghostscript would work okay, but there are still some that it doesn't handle at all.
It amazes me how parents can justify behaviorism as a tool to make their children act the "proper way." Can't people find this on their own? Wasn't one of the principles of modern philosophy that humans are good at heart and should make their OWN decisions?
Because kids have the same expriences and reasoning power of their parents?
Parents could pay attention to their children and not let them buy the game in the first place
Yes, because everyone knows that parents follow their kids around and watch everything they do, making sure they don't go to the store on their own time, borrow it from a friend, rent it, download it, or get it from the parents' own collection.
You often don't need to crack the game. It often comes precracked. Even if not, it's a simple matter of running a program.
Not saying this particular program would be difficult to get around, but I could envision a setup with the same result that would require quite a bit of skill to get around, especially as Windows's user model is becoming less admin-centric.
If you can pick locks you'll be able to go reset the BIOS through the jumper, but that's quite a bit of work. (Assuming the lock isn't like the kind of Kryptonite locks that can be broken with a Bic, which they very well may be.)

I think mauve has the most RAM.
I know the difference; it's just that you named both the receipt and what is kept behind in the machine in your original post.
I don't know why they don't have paper trails; I suspect it's nothing sinister on their parts, just a lack of demand form voting officials.
The receipt isn't done because it eliminates the secret ballot, and is thus illegal.
I wasn't complaining...

I do both of those from time to time, though #1 infrequently. #2 pretty common though...

I'm not arguing that terms shouldn't be shorter, just that the amount of money that something makes shouldn't have any bearing on what that term is.
What happens if it's a joint work?

No, the obvious choice is Phoenix.

US 'conservatives' have the intellectual consistency of baby shit.
To be honest, the "liberals" aren't much better. Maybe the consistancy of toddler shit. Or something.

No, actually he said PA.
It's just that "he" had his post moderated down to -1 so you don't see it and think that your parent is replying to the post about User Friendly.

But then of course your parents will at least be able to tell that you messed with it, because you won't be able to reset the BIOS password.
On the other hand, you're sitting here saying "god damn", "asshole", and "fuck" casually.
Not saying that it's from the games specifically, but you're not exactly one I would hold up as a good example of what behavior you want to encourage.
BIOS -> hard drive boot first, lock the case.
If you can pick locks you'll be able to go reset the BIOS through the jumper, but that's quite a bit of work. (Assuming the lock isn't like the kind of Kryptonite locks that can be broken with a Bic, which they very well may be.)
You're not very persistant then.
