Delphi Studio Pro Upgrade is $395
Microsoft Visual Studio.NET Pro Upgrade is $478
You do know how to multiply, right?

You seem to know something, but you refer to Visual C#.NET, Visual C++.NET, Visual Basic.NET and Visual J#.NET as four languages. Only one of these actually allows you to use the CRL to its full capacity, and that's C#. Visual Basic.NET is a joke, as even the Visual Basic people will attest. Visual J#.NET is an even funnier, but more esoteric joke. You really get just one language, C#, its CRL engine, and some more or less half-baked alternative front ends.
Do you think that the people in the trade towers would have viewed a crash in a random location as a bad thing? Or would you prefer the hijackers to choose the location?
In any case, you are wrong about decompression. The oxygen masks drop down if needed at high altitude. At low altitudes, (like the height of the world trade center,) no decompression happens at all. Planes don't crash because of loss of pressure. If the pilots don't or can't get onto oxygen within a few minutes, then there is a real problem, but they are all trained about that.
How can you call it voluntary, when the user doesn't even know it has happened? The product specs don't even mention that you are blocked from sites that they fell you shouldn't be able to see.
I think Linux works fine for non-geeks. My installations was super-easy, just feeding the CD's through. And all the installation using RPM files were just point and click, as easy as any Windows setup program. The thing that Linux brings is that it lets you get under the hood and tinker, which I want to learn how to do. I suppose Windows has RegEdit, but that is just as geeky and even more dangerous that export + ldconfig.
So at the command prompt, should I put in this...
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/rjnorton/games/worms
(I did "export -h" for the format.)
Will this wipe out any existing library path?
I'm having that problem too! I found the library at this site. I unpacked it, and put it in the directory with the worm draw executable, but it still can't find it. I am (as you may have guessed) a clueless newbie on Linux. I set execute priviledges on the library and the executable.
If some US citizens do not believe in a God, then are they forced to be under God? Don't they count as part of the "we" in "we are a nation under God"? I guess you do not think they do, if you believe that point is valid.
You can have the "one nation" part of the pledge, or the "under God" part, but you can't logically keep both those in there. You pick which one.
There is nothing on Linux that can do the things that I need to do on a day to day bassis.
Linux, with open standards, gives me control of my data, my documents. As long as you don't mind not knowing how your hard disk is formatted, or what is in your doc files, you can be happy in the Windows world. In a year or two, when Longhorn comes out, the reason it is important to control your own data will become a lot more apparent.
Yeah, I liked the way it worked too! It took a 2D picture, converted it to a 3D mesh, automatically rotated it in 3D and projected it onto another 2D picture. Yeehaa! like that's possible.
The MS hardware is not too bad. They don't have monopoly power yet in most hardware lines (like mouse and keyboards) so they actually have to compete. They don't have to show a profit though, a bit of an advantage for them. Still, I have a Logitech dual optical mouse, it is super fast and accurate, much better than the MS mouse I have at work.
The Xbox, however, fails the "mighty fine stuff" test, in my opinion.
Functional for me, or any other Linux only user running on PC hardware.
It doesn't really matter what I'm doing, as I don't want a key with a picture of a flying window on my keyboard. For me that key is a waste of space, and an irritation. It's like a dead key, I guess not just like a dead key, it actually is a dead key.
In itself, it is no big deal, but it is evidence that MS has no problems building hardware to ensure a lock in. The Xbox is a much better example, of course, but others have already mentioned that.

True, it's not $39 anymore, but this ain't TurboPascal anymore either.

Bullets don't kill people. It's the holes.
Thermal should be under fission, I think, as most of the heat of the Earth's core is from fission of naturally radioactive elements.

Thanks to all! I can get it to run ( ** enough to get the help info anyway) now.

It's not a virus, it's a worm, you insensitive clod!

Darn, I thought there'd be no need to preview! The executable link.
Here's an executable for Linux that draws worm tracks. Also some animated GIF's of the trail being drawn.
You're violating your legally binding EULA. You're not allowed to say if IE is faster. Expect a call.

Which Kerberos? The Internet Engineering Task Force one or the MS Kerberos version?

Nothing better for you to do than read Slashdot either, huh? :)
perSONkind? perSONity? What kind of a sentient being are you? Try perCHILDkind instead.
