But I wouldn't bet large sums of money against Linux having a MacOS-sized marketshare in a few years.
In a few years? Most places seem to agree that Linux already has a market share comparable to (if not greater than) MacOS - at least in the corporate arena.
Yes. However, if you're already ingrained in the Basic mold, you will still have to get over the need to declare variables. Otherwise, it's like the GP said: easy and visual like VB (with many conveniences like.NET but still native), but capable of low level work and high performance like C++. Also it compiles incredibly fast:)
Perhaps this means that not many people are moderating or meta-modding. I do find it tedious myself; mostly because the moderation isn't immediate, you have to remember to click moderate after reading the page, instead of just closing it, I know that sounds silly but its easy mistake to make.
It seems that people who are not fans or haven't read the books, liked the third movie more. That includes me. To me, it was simply a better movie; it made more sense, obviously because the director chose to focus on certain parts of the story. Whereas the first two movies seemed to rely on shocking deus ex machina moments to resolve the stories and had no tension.
Fans simply can't help noticing all the bits that were left out. This is nothing new.
I don't get it. If they want us to watch advertisements, then for gods sake present it in the best way. I find it incredible that many movie sites still do the "postage stamp" video that we were all mocking in the early days of media on the web.
I think the GP is right. Whereas Star Wars has pretty graphics, but appears to have the same fairly dull acting and lines, Serenity looks to be alive with actual fun, characters and script... on top of having some pretty nice looking CG.
Diamonds would not be any better for passive cooling than aluminium (or copper). The rate they can transfer heat to the air, has nothing to do with how well they conduct heat internally.
("ten times as much heat as today's processors") I don't think that 1kW processors will be practical. Nobody is going to want to pay to run that, and nobody will want a heater running in their room all the time either.
I'd say that they should be looking to limit it to not much more than current figures (100W) - maybe 200W if we are generous. After that it gets silly.
15 seconds is fast enough? Why? Why should there be any delay at all?
Note this is putting aside my technical knowledge of how difficult that is. But lets face it, the ideal would be to turn the power on and start using it. Most other tools achieve that.
ActiveX is insecure by design. They have done about all they can do, without remaking it in a different language (like Java) with a real security model.

Pretty dissappointed to see Corel has bought [them|it]. I hate it when productive small companies get absorbed into corporate monstrosities who then try to pretend that it was their product all along. (Connectix VPC would be another)
It's not like the VB6 DLLs that your infrastructure is dependent upon are going to go away No, but Microsoft might just find it's "too hard" to support them in Longhorn, or whatever other new product they produce. Suddenly, everyone using a new computer can't run your programs.
Average users never use the command prompt. So asking them to use a command line to install is like forcing them to learn a whole separate application. Besides that command lines are typically non-obvious and give you little idea of possible options, until you know the secret incantations (e.g. -?)

Microsoft hired some of Borland's developers at twice their salary and then put them on extended vacations, just to screw up development at Borland.
Really? Can you point to any info on the web about this? Casual Googling didn't find anything obvious.
Rather: porting the great Delphi environment to other languages. You know, copying the best of Windows to Linux? That kinda thing.

You're joking right?
I love those two little checkboxes in Mozilla (always use my fonts, and my colors): the worst website becomes usable :)

This is good to hear, but surely the far bigger problem for C/C companies is social engineering like phishing. What can/are they doing about that...?
No terminal velocity, and no aircooling, if you're out of the atmosphere.

Your project management skills are highly advanced! :)
For the record, looks like the first commercial laser discs were just ahead of CD. There were several versions of laser video discs though.
for example

Yep, there were (and are) some great songs in that format.
See the Mod Archive for thousands of tracks. Their Top 10 lists have a good sampling.

Pioneer are still the way to go for optical drives - all those years doing LaserDisc, they must have learned a lot.
Your information seems out of date. NT and up have always let you have drives with no letter assigned.
Does that site work on Mozilla? Or is it intentional to only offer postage-stamp sized photos?
