Sorry to drag out the flame war, but it's very easy to make expose trigger on "hot corners" -- just move the mouse to one corner of the screen to expose all windows, another to show the desktop, etc. Very nice, and I never use the F keys anymore for this. You can also assign a 4th mouse button, if you have one.
He was the founder -- he would never have been hired as a CTO at any other company, but he gave himself the title. That probably explains a lot (and also explains why the company's no longer in business).
Everyone in the company (only 10-20 people) was down in the trenches. It might have taken me the same amount of time to write the code, but I would have done it right;-).
2. Write a C++ program without using any loop (if, for, while etc) to print numbers from 1 to 100 and 100 to 1;
Dumb....
void main() { printf("1\n2\n3\n... and so on..."); }
Try recursion instead....
Any programmer, let alone computer scientist, who hardcodes a list of values that is otherwise easily constructed programmatically should be drug out into the street and shot. Trust me -- I once worked at a small dot-com company where the CTO(!!) literally did not understand the concept of a loop. He'd copy and paste everything -- leading to 100% unmaintainable code that all had to be scrapped some months later. What a nightmare.
If I didn't RTFA, then how'd I get the quote at the top of my post? Like I said, it's been 4 years since the last major release, which is completely accurate. That is, unless you want to get into a fight about version numbers, but if Enlightenment's developer considers 0.16.5 to 0.16.6 a major release, then he needs a new numbering scheme!
It's limited in its support for ICCCM, no NETWM support and it has no iconification, virtual desktops, shading, keybindings or button bindings, but it does WORK (just). it's also fast and beatiful."
Okay, so it's been 4 years since the last major release, and yes, I used to love Enlightenment back in the day, but the world has moved on to bigger and better things (KDE, Gnome, OS-X). Enlightenment still has a lot of catching up to do before it is newsworthy!
Movie projectors and TVs cycle at about 30 hertz, but the light output from them is relatively constant even though the image is changing. On the other hand, haven't you ever seen the flicker of a fluorescent bulb? How about your computer monitor? These kinds of flickers are both on the order of 60 hertz, yet you can see them.
An LED would flicker a thousand times more noticeably because LEDs have a response-time on the order of 0.5 milliseconds. Additionally, an LED in a pure AC circuit couldn't help but flicker because it's a diode, so it would only light half the time when the current flows in one direction.
I wonder how or if IMAP would be able to handle Gmail's concept of "labels". Gmail doesn't have the same concept of a "folder" that IMAP is built around or that classic email clients expect.

Who cares about NAT if the router could tunnel IPv6? I'd gladly pay for that (assuming by that time there are other IPv6 networks worth talking to). What they would kill in NAT sales they'd more than gain in tunnel sales... except they'd be the same product anyway.
If that's true then it will be far better than the current design, where the slightest touch by a conductive material will activate the buttons. I can't even put my 3G iPod in my pocket without its case because the skin on my thigh clicks the buttons through my pants!
Not that I don't love my iPod. But normally I just have to keep it in the case and use the remote. I long for some tactile buttons.
Companies never *really* go out of business. SCO still has creditors, and the creditors will want to be paid. So bankruptcy courts will need to auction off SCO's assets, which right now consists of their supposed intellectual property in the form of UNIX. If AutoZone really is infringing on SCO's copyright, then the creditors would still have a right and necessity to continue to enforce it.
It was going against the particles. The particles are "stationary" in orbit around Saturn, while Cassini was flying at 50,000 mph relative on a course from Earth relative to Saturn. In addition, it was flying at an angle "up" through the rings, instead of just matching their orbit and floating around next to them.

I've seen "lose" spelled incorrectly on

Simple answer: if you're coding for an embedded device, don't try and write a loop without loops :-)
We could never have fired him, but the product was so crappy that the company failed... kind of backfired on him I guess.
Since the problem was to print only 1..100 and 100..1, the danger of stack overflow is pretty low.

Well where else are you going to drag it? If it confuses you too much, then go to the File menu and choose Eject or hit Command-E.

The catch is that $35 gets you only 3mbps, not 30. They haven't even announced what the price for 30 will be.

Sorry, yes, thanks for the clarification. But SCO, especially as a publicly traded company, is quite large enough to never truly die.

Nitpick, if they don't make it to Mars, don't they by default not last 90 days?
