I'm going to register this buy it now idea with the European Patent office so when the wasters in Brussels decide to allow software patents I can have 29 million dollars as well.
Thats it GreenCrackBaby. No more crack for you. We will be sending a slightly larger plane with a 'special' delivery just for you now you have gone and exposed our previously secret and ferret type cunning plan to the rest of the world.
I was actually talking about VS.NET:-). I agree its a huge improvement over its predecessor, especially when it comes to larger projects. VS was almost unusable on the last VC++ project I worked on if the whole workspace was loaded. Both IntelliJ and Eclipse offer far more in terms of editor power and ease of refactoring code than VS.NET though.
Unfortunately one of the reasons IntelliJ has got more expensive is because of its success. Its about 100$ more expensive now than when I purchased it. If you are doing a lot of Java development and dont have a compelling requirement for a GUI builder then I strongly recommend IntelliJ.
After using IntelliJ for a couple of years I hate having to go back to VS for C#. I'm hoping dearly that IDEA produce a C# IDE. I've never been a huge fan of Eclipse for various reasons, its Visual Age heritage, performance, general look and feel, nothing overwhelming, I just prefer IntelliJ.
A similar paradox, called the Dichotomy, stipulates that you can never reach your goal, as in order to get there, you must firstly travel half of the distance. But once you've done that, you must still traverse half the remaining distance, and half again, and so on. What's more, you can't even get started, as to travel a certain distance, you must firstly travel half of that distance, and so on.
I always thought the reason you could never get started on the way to your goal was the 'trying to get a woman to go some place when you have been ready and waiting for ages' paradox
What the hell are you doing reading the whole article. If you insisted on defying/. convention and actually reading, you were only supposed to skim through it and pick out the linux good propritary bad parts. !!
Seriously though your point is well made. Its was interesting until you come across the irrelevant crap about linux. From reading it you would think mankind was unable to get two applications to talk to each other until Linus had his epiphany.
Yes but even in Lloyds the system was very dodgy with some groups of members bearing far more liability risk than others by being at the wrong end of an insurance chain. One of the reasons they switched to Limited liability I believe.
If you had been reading/. recently you would be aware the Chinese have a growing economy are are aiming to establish moon bases. It should be pretty obvious to everyone that we *really* need to move to IPv48 as the solar system and beyond is colonised.
It would only take about 10 years due to increased system stability and efficiency. We should be grateful for the small mercy of MS instability in this situation.
But, really there seems to be nothing people are not prepared to gamble on these days. I watched a program recently about a company the other day who took bets on whether the stock market would go up or down, same with the housing index in the UK. Despite the disclaimers this sort of gambling is tailored to those with high level insider knowledge.
I want you all to know though then you may feel free to 'invest' as much as you want on a middle eastern state declaring me to be a messianic figure and bringing peace to the region as the first step of my journey to world domination
I would beg to differ. I'm running firebird right now and I have never seen 3,700Kb usage. I have six tabs open and its at 38,000K which is below its usual 50,000K after a couple of days . I like firebird and its my main browser thru choice but its a memory and frequently a cpu hog. I recently installed it on a Toshiba satellite 266 for my parents but had to take it off again because its performance rendered it unusable whereas IE ran fine.
my woman for a beer refill all the time but it usually results in a clip about the ear and me being told to get off my lazy ass and do something useful.

From this it should be pretty obvious that the pyramids were just early prototypes for pringle cans where someone got their scale units mixed up.
But they picked up agian when it was revealed that the receiver for this antenna signal was an array of 25,000 pringle cans

What was the amount involved ?

Finally I have a chance of getting to the top of something !!

So is he saying that heaven is now full of blokes sick to death of dates and raisins and absolutely gagging for a woman ?
I read that as Casanova's Notes and I thought /. was finally going to tell me how to be a babe magnet.
If you had been reading /. recently you would be aware the Chinese have a growing economy are are aiming to establish moon bases. It should be pretty obvious to everyone that we *really* need to move to IPv48 as the solar system and beyond is colonised.
What you mean you are not volunteering to lead the rush ?

Nightly binary. The last milestone I used insisted on displaying the talkback window on startup with no functional buttons which was rather irritating

the rights were not purchased by that perspex box with the flashing lights or they may have trouble getting the project off the ground
