...Dalling Road, Hammersmith, London, when the very first Games Workshop opened. They were just some little store selling an obscure game most people hadn't heard of. It's very sad that many years ago they turned their back on all games other than Warhammer and guard it so jealously. OTOH I'm amazed at how large they've grown so obviously it's a good strategy.
...is a z-code VM, not a Java VM, so I can play the hundreds of games already available - some of very high quality. Might need a keyboard port too though.
...driven websites. Imagine that was what you did all day long and you had to do it to bring home enough money to pay the rent and eat food. I don't think I could hack it. I think I'd commit suicide. Even worse, imagine you did this for a living but you didn't realize what a drudge it was. Imagnie you thought it was an interesting job and that you were smart for being able to do it.
...just so I can refuse to buy their CDs. I mean I can't protest right now can I as I already don't buy their CDs due to the godawful artists they have signed. So I'm going to force myself to like that stuff.
What is he talking about? I bought my first Palm, 6 or 7 years ago, because of Graffiti and I'm yet to see such a reliable text recognition system on any other device. Admittedly it does take 30 minutes or so to learn and a reviewer too lazy to include a picture of the device being reviewed might not have the attention span for that.
This isn't some obscure result that requires sensitive equipment and millions of dollars worth of lab equipment. It's a simple proposition about numbers. Read the article. Do it yourself. It's not hard.
We, the people, grant MS a monopoly only as long as it is in the interests of the people. As soon as that monopoly is no longer in our interest it will be terminated. They're free to abuse their monopoly, we're free to withdraw their right to hold the property that allows them to maintain that monopoly.
Every laptop I've ever used has a real off switch. Usually you have to press and hold the on switch for a few seconds. It completely cuts all power to the laptop and while in that state you can usually leave a laptop for several weeks without having to worry about recharging it.
If things are bad then trying to raise morale is nothing but an attempt to deceive employees. To try to convince them things are OK when they're not. But employees aren't so stupid. Nothing tells an employee that their company is in trouble more than morale boosting exercises from management.
What's with everyone suddenly accusing me of trolling this week when I ask reasonable questions? The iPod does not have a real off switch. My Sony diskman does. My laptop (a PowerBook) does. My radio does. My flashlight does. My Palm doesn't but it at least survives many weeks switched off. And not only does the iPod consume power while it is apparently off - it does so at a fast enough rate that it's annoying. I tend to use my iPod at the gym, two or three times a week. I can use it on Friday, leave it in my gym bag, go to the gym again on Monday and find the battery is flat. After 1 hour of use. Come on! This isn't trolling!
Sometimes using templates does generate vast amounts of code. But guess what! Sometimes you want vast amounts of code. Templates allow you to build complex algorithms that get bound together at instantiation time. You only have to write the small pieces and the complexity gets built by the compiler for you. You can end up with a usefully complex piece of code that's easy to develop and easy to maintain. Without templates in C++ you have to resort to subterfuges like macros to build complex pieces of code at compile time.
It's not an argument. It's a question. I could ask the question of all distros. It's good to ask questions. If you don't you might stick a CD into your PC and find you're running Windows.

No. But I've heard you can find out about it from the Internet, whatever that is.

I'm running it on MacOS X. I do have virtual PC however.
It's slow as hell on my dual 2GHz Zeon. I wonder why. Ah...it goes fast if I hit alt-enter and run it full screen.
No, two monopolies. A duopoly is two companies competing in the same market.
...blank CPLDs on a suitable board and let people find the VHDL for themselves on the web? Would that be legal? I think it's the way to go.

The funny thing is that the answer is probably yes!
Here. Includes USB blanket, USB toothbrush and USB coffee warmer. And that stuff isn't dated April 1.

Smarter than that...you can charge Europe plenty of money for the privilege of having warm weather.

That code is named after Peano's axioms for arithmetic.

Not as much as II used to. But anyway, a concert is rarely a random tracklist.
Like the ways physicsts strive to find the simplest laws of physics but laypeople still don't have a clue what they are talking about.
