Actually, Flash has the potential to revolutionize online security. With the increasing numbers of webcams, users could opt to require a "video signature" to log on, in addition to regular password credentials. The video signature could quickly be checked by a company like Brinks to see if the remote user is the correct user, and grant access to the user accordingly once the correct password has been provided.
But given that this is done within an applet, I should think that adding closed captioning, for any and every language, becomes a trivial matter to implement.
I don't understand why more televisions today don't have an ethernet port and run something like Ubuntu. Seems like minimal investment with a host of real advantages, such as containing a full-fledged browser with tie-ins to YouTube (and now NetFlix).
If your friend has broadband, shouldn't be a problem.
Except that it IS determined that far in advance, it's just that we presently have no way of knowing these things that far in advance. Weather is a perfect example, but you're looking at it the wrong way. We currently have only limited ways to watch fault lines, to examine the physical impact of a giant explosion on the sun. There're far too many unaccounted variables, and so we can't be expected to predict with any real degree of certainty the weather.
Actually, though, they have both. They have the illusion of free will, and for all intents and purposes, yes, we have free will. However, from a deteriministic viewpoint, everything all-time has already been determined.
The same happened for years in the United States around the turn of the century. Companies would start villages where the wages were atrocious, the employees were forced to purchase all of their wares from company stores, and the hell, the entire thing looked exactly like today in China.
Back then, the United States was somewhat a backward nation. Britain, France, and Germany ruled the seas and they ruled vast colonies. By comparison, the United States was still growing much of its infrastructure and it would take WWI before the US would begin climbing to the top.
China's situation IS NORMAL. Labour demand is low, and supply is high, just as was the case in the US during the Depression. I'm rambling... but pickup a history textbook and an econ book and start watching CNBC!
(1) Object factories are a great way to have extremely dynamic objects. Use something like: $customers = DB_Table::new("customers");
(2) From a MySQL query (and hopefully other DB implementations, too), one can find field information, specifically if a field is the primary key. Thus, if after instantiation of our object, we find a column that is the primary key, allow the object to iterate over it and otherwise iterate in the order specified by a custom ORDER BY statement.
(3) Why not make each row an object with its own __destruct() method? Have each row handle itself.
And the others need no explanation, you pretty much covered everything.
Exactly. Regardless of your correction, the original poster was still wrong. Jefferson said, "We hold these truths", implying a finite number of rights, i.e. not including murder and theft. Intellectual property theft is not an inherent right of mankind.
I have to agree. But while hand-documentation is great, developer styling can retard the effectiveness of the notes in the documentation. When auto-generators that automatically create documentation and that read already-existing documentation that adheres to a certain pattern, you have the best of both worlds, for then you also bind your developers to a certain style.
But page loads suck. I hate to see pages crawl as they load; it's painful to watch. I know that this is a problem with the static web space in which we work, but it's a tremendous annoyance. I'm currently working on a development environment for PHP5 that will attempt to keep PHP applications "open", in so far as the developer sees the program. Imagine a case where the developer is coding an application that needs to attach an event to a button. For instance:
<?php
class ButtonApplication extends GFrame {
public function __construct() {
$Box = new GButton("Click me!");// Construct similiar to JButton
Obviously, I'm trying to emulate Java's Swing -- I do need to brush up on my Swing:) -- but the idea is that any actions added to the $Box object could be coded as if the program were seamless. Behind the scenes will be an elaborate AJAX implementation.
They will not allow. That's key. It could simply mean that the EULA will prohibit installation on non-Apple hardware or imply that Mac OS X will not be licensed to other computer makers. It does not mean that John Doe, x86 PC with legacy ports will not run OS X. It simply means, at the least, that Apple won't allow it. Do not be surprised if Tiger on x86 is as easy as torrent, burn, and crack.
And who cares if you have to make a lossy copy of a CD in the process of de-DRMing the CD? From lossless to near lossless isn't much of a loss. No matter how it must be done, it will very easily so be done.

There are other solutions as well, I just Googled the first thing that came to my head. One company that is actually a PalmSource licensee produces not only a handheld with a GPS device, but also separate Bluetooth-wireless, GPS solutions.
It's the best job I could ask for, save that the pay could improve. I have a great deal of flexibility, my work is appreciated and used extensively, and I've had enough time in between projects to write widgets that can be used in future programs, thereby reducing the time needed for the next project. I've worked there four years, starting with my freshman year in high school.
I basically spend the time that I am not working or at school studying. I read Forbes Fast Company, Discover, classic literature, guides to foreign languages, programming manuals, history books, law books, and anything of interest on SlashDot (yes, I do read articles!).
Yet, I could not pull of more than a 3.0 GPA in high school, despite what I believed was a 95% test average. And now college has rolled around, and I am failing two classes (though I'm easily the teachers' pet, as they are all magnificently puzzled by my habits). I can't stand to do homework, and refuse to do it; it would be wasting time, and that I won't do. I never received my scholarship. And I went to a crappy university, too.
If I had it in me to do homework, I would, and I would recommend no matter the struggle that everyone try the same. I do not regret not doing homework, for in fact I have learned so many things in the time that I have not done homework. However, I have been greatly disadvantaged by not following the pack and turning in the occasional essay.
$$$ is expensive, and I don't know if you've noticed, but the federal government isn't exactly bathing in money, what with the largest federal deficit and all.
And this is because of the horizontal resolution, which grows indiscriminately. Therefore, 1080i still has a hell of a lot more horizontal pixels than 540p.
I think it's funny that the idea has arisen of late that computers can ever parse information as fluidly as the animation suggests. We've had computer science for decades and speech and language analysts for centuries before that and the only thing that they've concluded is that language is a very complex thing.
I speak English, German, French, and Spanish, so my question is this: how can Google even know the difference of languages without the appropriate headers? Well, Google feeds a set of common words, perhaps, that are common of certain languages or flags sites as they come along. However, that is not an automatic process. One can create common-word lists which filter out prepositions and only retrieve infinitives and nouns, but this trusts the standardization of language. What about misspellings and slang? What about poems and other forms of written expression? Few humans even make decent readers, let alone a computer that would be expected to understand everything.
I am currently working on a program that will parse news for the great state of North Dakota (even the little weekly publications from the small cities), and keyword-finding is a hell of a problem. Currently I'm working on a way to divide a typical sentence on boundaries of word order (subject, verb, objects, prepositional phrases, etc.), but I'm doing it as a fun, long-term project, and it's still greatly minimal in its approach. If anything, I will have written something that just takes a lot of extra CPU cycles, and still works less often than SlashDot editor.

The convergence of life sciences with physical sciences is nothing new, and there really shouldn't be so many "aha!" moments like this.

That's not a review for the new Palm LifeDrive.
Ahem, I have a government job :)
