The swiss have one of the highest number of guns per head of capita than any other country in the world, every male up to the age of 30/34 is part of the miltia that comprises their army. They all get issued (and are allowed to keep) an automatic assault rifle in their homes so that they can go into action at a moments notice should the need arise.
It's a highly effective, if slightly unorthodox, way of defending your nation.
It's to do with the safety of the competitors (underdeveloped bones etc.) as gymnastics takes much more of a toll on your body than swimming (being exceedingly hig. I would wager being younger, and lighter, also helps on things like the Asymmetric Bars.
The Draytek 2910 is a Dual WAN router so rather than having a computer booted up you can use a much less power hungry SOHO router.
Don't know if you can route via both, but it definitely does failover.
Meh, works fine here (on a Draytek 2900) for the odd app that can make us of it. I think a lot may be down to less than stellar implementations in router firmware.
I think he also meant the 68k -> PowerPC transition which required some funky kernel level thunking (in fact, they only ported the OS piecemeal, in the beginning most of it still ran in 68k mode IIRC see the wikipiedia entry on it).
You say that, but after I went back to XP (my computer at the time couldn't really hack it) I really missed a few nice touches, mostly the ability to hit the "Start" button on my keyboard, type the first few letters of a program and hit enter to launch it.
Annecodtal evidence ahead: I'm now back on Vista (x64, new computer) and have got a dual-boot partition with XP sp3 on it for some audio apps and I don't notice any speed differences between them.
I've always found Choung Networks mToken to be the best WinMo SSH client, has helpful extras such as port forwarding and a custom font to fit as much as possible on a tiny screen.
Not necessarily true. Look at the Filet steak produced from Belgian Blue's, they're all muscle and as such have a VERY low fat %, however, it's some of the tastiest I've ever eaten.
Yes and no. If something develops a fault within the first 6 months the retailer has to prove that there was no fault/poor workmanship in the product (hard to do, unless you've obviously abused the item). After 6 months the onus is on you to prove that the defect was there all along waiting to happen which is a lot harder.
It's not impossible, I had two identical monitors (purchased at the same time) plugged into the same graphics card on the same computer (dual monitor setup). After about 2 years one of them diead and after an unsatisfactory warranty repair by Acer (which took over 10 weeks, and then broke again after I'd had it a week) I went back to the retailer. Due to the circumstances I was able to argue that the one monitor was obviously faulty from the start and got all of my money back.
There are cases where a switch is simply syntactic sugar (however the argument for improving the readability of code goes a long way), however, implementing a "fall-through" with if/then/else is impossible (it would have to be done as a load if if/then statements that at the end set the variable to be checked so that it passes the next if test); That's just insane, and error prone when you add new items into the list.
That's strange, I've only come across one piece of software (Adobe Fireworks pre CS 3) that wasn't fully vista compatible (dropped down to Aero basic). Everything else (including more "niche" programs such as Cubase) seems to just work as well as it did on XP.
Whatever you say about Microsoft, backwards compat is damn important (evident by the number of hacks they put in place to support esoteric apps). How many (non statically compiled) binaries from the early 90's can you run on a modern Linux distro?
Consolas is a lovely font, but for programming I find myself exlusively using ProFont these days. It's a mono-spaced pixel font that allows you to get an insane amount of code onto a window (useful for seeing the "big picture" and on any monitor over 19" it doesn't really strain the eyes).
That GeForce 8400 only has 16 stream processors (the basis of the Unified Architecture that makes up current gen graphics cards). The 8600's suffer a great deal with double that (32) as seen in their framerate tests (apart from BioShock most games were almost unplayable at 1280x1024 - which has become the "new 1024x768" baseline).
The minimum card you want for the new crop of direct x 10 games (to actually get the "eye candy" at anything over 800x600) is the 8800 GTS with 96 stream processors.
Of course, gp could always go for that as a "stop-gap" measure and then at least they're on the PCIe bandwagon. Once they have some more cash, get whatever the mid-range graphics card du jour is
Yes there are, Intel have rebranded the super low-end CD (Yonah) and C2D (Allendale - special low cache variant (not cache disabled - not actually on the silicon)) as "Pentium Dual Core"
One small change; Don't bother going to your local county court, you'll probably end up waiting in a queue for ages, be sent around different departments etc. Much quicker and more painless is to use MCO (Money Claim Online). Fill in the website form, check back to see if they enter a defence, and if they do, get allocated to your local county court.
The problem is that Kontiki (the platform forced upon the BBC as the only off-the-shelf system available that handled all the drm and p2p side of things) only runs on Windows (and evidently the version the beeb uses only works on XP). The BBC are beholden to them wrt other platforms.
I suspect some of the bright people at BBC research are working on their own system for the other platforms (maybe even to replace kontiki). It really wouldn't be an insurmountable problem (it's not as if Kontiki is Rocket Science - it's a p2p distribution platform that leverages Windows Media DRM), build in a bittorrent client, maybe license FairPlay for the Macs and look into developing some sort of close-source playback system for Linux and they're onto a winner. They could then sell it to the other media companies who want to offer a cross-platform content-delivery system.
My HTC produced WinMo device (T-Mob MDA Vario II, also known as the Hermes or TyTn) trickle charges off USB when plugged in. There's been a few times I've disabled it (like when I'm using it as a 3G modem plugged into may laptop which is itself running off battery) but normally when it's cradled it's charging.
I can't actually remember the last time I used the charger that came with the thing.

What about protecting against CSRF?
That one's fun because even if you use tokens in forms, if you have even 1 XSS vulnerability any countermeasures are rendered useless.
You could always look at bonding multiple ADSL connections together.

jQuery is designed specifically to be extended, by the programming of plugins. Have a look at their plugin repository.
I find it highly unlikely that Microsoft would require anything adding to the jQuery core that couldn't be better implemented with a plugin.

It is if what you are successful at is art gallery heists!

Yes, because Microsoft don't give anything away.
If you notice, the first link is a free virtualisation system.

You could do what Zimbra used to and use IPTables to forward to non-sys ports on Linux.

It wasn't just the availability of adult titles. What really scuppered BETA was the short length of the tapes compared to what was available with VHS.
Not tempting fate, that's for sure ;o)
