Actually it's not. Because if the app has not been tested to compile and run cleanly in a 64-bit LP64 environment then you will have no end of problems.
There are a ton of people running amd64 on Gentoo, and at this point, the problems are fairly minor. Check out the forums and Bugzilla.
The only thing saving us now is the fact that Open Source sucks and few people are willing to use an inferior product, even for free.
I know IHBT, but whenever someone asks for an example of a great, successful open-source project, I have to point to Apache. It makes up nearly 70% of web servers on the Internet, and it's arguably much better than IIS.
Ideas should be so simple and obvious and inspire us to say 'who dont we have that already?!'
Why? There's nothing wrong with innovation, to use a favorite Microsoft buzzword. Wouldn't it also work for the users to think "Wow, that's a great idea; I never would've thought of that"?
Do you really remember significantly more detail about a story from reading a book than from seeing a movie?
Um, yes. You mentioned Tom Clancy. I think most people would agree that A Sum of All Fears was far more entertaining in book-form. He went into all sorts of details about building the nuclear bomb (which he mentions are not entirely accurate, for obvious reasons), and well, it's just a more fun, fulfilling experience. It also doesn't cost a thing when you borrow it from a library.
If you really want to discuss it with other people, poke around Google for a forum. If it's popular, odds are other people have already done all sorts of analysis and are eager to discuss it.
Reading is also an excellent way to improve your vocabulary, spelling and grammar. It's embarassing how many people lack these basic skills.
GRRM r0x0r3d my s0x0rz as well. I actually got up to the beginning of book 9 in WoT before finally tossing it. Robert Jordan keeps writing the same dull crap, where every female (except Min) is an annoying bitch.
Stuff actually happens in A Song of Ice and Fire, and GRRM can tell a damn good story. His characters are believable, deep, and diverse; you'll remember them, unlike in WoT, where you're buried in a mass of minor characters that you're expected to remember if you want to follow the story. I just wish he'd hurry up with book 4.
the generics would still have to reverse engineer it, and it would be a lot harder without the patent details. Not impossible, but certainly harder.
Yes and no. They'll still know the "active ingredient" in a drug; it's just a matter of coming up with a cost-effective synthesis process. They already have to develop their own filler, which is the only thing that distinguishes generics from the brand-name drug. That's only a tiny fraction of what goes into the original drug development.
All pharmaceutical companies. The cost to develop a single drug, from initial research through final FDA testing, averages slightly under $1 billion. Those costs simply cannot be recouped if you're immediately competing against generics from companies that didn't have to pay for the research or testing.
Yes, but the thing is that I didn't have Gaim logging turned on and I had to access the IM without physically going to that computer...and I could, with relatively little effort.
I can copy/dev/mem and use strings/grep to search my entire RAM remotely (using ssh) for an IM I received. Of course, you'll just consider that a "nifty hack".
If you can't acknowledge the benefits of a Unix-style system, well...I guess you'll never understand why most of the web runs Apache.

Ah, I see. Ctrl+U does clear out the URL input if that's focused. Nevermind me then.
Ctrl+U opens the source here on Firefox/KDE/Linux. Maybe you're thinking of Ctrl+K? I don't think that works on Windows.

No it's not. Cygwin has been doing it for years. It's the thing to use when you want a decent command line on Windows.

These are all just glorified USB drives, which work fine on Linux.
If you mentioned wireless network cards, then you'd have a point.
Are anchor () tags prefetched?
No, only tags w/ a relation type of next or prefetch are prefetched.

Just wondering...why? Is GTK+ 2.x not well-supported on certain architectures, or what?
No no no, you've got it all wrong. Your response should be *click*, or if you're feeling polite, Not interested. *click*.
Maybe not for you, but for a lot of people it does. Especially children. For adults, it should at least improve your vocabulary.

If spyware is still popping up, and you're not using IE, then you haven't cleaned them out completely. Use Adaware in addition to Spybot.
So, er, Dead Kennedys are "country" now?

Agreed. It's a wonderful supplement to MSDN when Microsoft neglects to tell you how to actually use their own APIs.
The kernel exploits are local exploits only. Unless you have untrustworthy users, there's no security issue.
Try Eclipse. It's got awesome refactoring capabilities, CVS integration, and unlimited potential thanks to its plugin architecture.
Yes, but the thing is that I didn't have Gaim logging turned on and I had to access the IM without physically going to that computer...and I could, with relatively little effort.
I absolutely hate anonymous classes. They make for some really ugly code. Private classes seem much simpler to me.
