yes, but red ethernet cables (vs green) mean secret nets... things get colorful when you plug the red ethernet cable in, if your MAC isn't registered on your installation. seriously BAD things wind up happening... on second thought, just don't touch the red cable if you don't have to...
no need for good marketing here. who would want to serve in any military less than the best? especially in wartime, and against a military billed as the "best"?
I'm no expert, but social security, medicare, the voting and civil rights acts are acts of congress, not amendments (although most are rooted either in execution of the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 19th amendments, or a direct response to the chaos of the great depression to prevent the constitutional republic from being replaced by, say, a fascist dictatorship). However, your point about amendments being a part of the constitution is quite correct, and the only way to change the constitutional amendment instating prohibition of alcohol was to pass another amendment to repeal it...
shipping SDL with the OS is irrelevant. embed the libsdl framework in the application. it doesn't take much room, and as a fringe benefit, you don't have to worry about incompatible versions of libsdl on the system. It almost makes it unreasonable to include libsdl in the system because of the framework mechanisms available...
while that part of the Divine Comedy is certainly a hell of a read (pun not entirely intended), I don't recall any major corner of Christianity canonizing Alighieri's works... just my.0135 Euro...
I think you're thinking of the feature flags. that'll just get you things like "GenuineIntel", "AuthenticAMD", or "CyrixInside".
you'd probably want to use:
mov eax, 1 cpuid
and then a whole lot of bit mask comparisons on ebx, ecx, and edx. AMD did another set of extensions to it, so now you have more than 4 valid things to load into eax (0-3), but I forget where they start. mostly, those just give very processor specific oddball features that aren't of much use to anyone except compiler writers and people optimizing operating systems, and the like.
not really, especially considering that college linux was originally done for RFK College in Switzerland to have a uniform baseline for its student body to work from (btw, the guy that commissioned it originally was insistent that it not use RPM for its package management system. that's why it's a slack fork...)
Typically, libraries found in.app bundles are.framework bundles... for example:/Applications/iMovie HD.app/Contents/Frameworks/AVCVideoServices.framew ork is, for all intents and purposes, a dynamic library and all of the supporting resources that would normally go into a/usr/share/libname directory...
Frankly, I'm surprised that I haven't seen any comments about CoreFoundation, AppKit, and CoreNetwork apparently being ported to Windows. I wonder if they're fixing bugs in the browser, or the underlying ported APIs, and what they would possibly do with all of the major APIs ported to Windows. I seem to remember NextStep degrading primarily from an OS to an API set (which got very promptly closed once Apple bought NeXT), so does it seem likely that they've been pulling a Marklar here?
He could also use the Xcode installer to install it (probably better, since it sounds like he may try to run builds), or dig through the optional install folder on his install disc for the package installer. I only had trouble getting X to install very early on in my OS X use, and that was because I tried grabbing the installer off of Apple's site (10.2 pkg vs. 10.3 machine, at the time)...
I think the point he's trying to make is that you get full eye-candy on a 32Mb ATI or NVidia card on the mac, and you need a 256Mb DX9 compliant card to get full eye-candy under vista...
I don't think you're quite tracking the target here. there are plenty of utilities that will test an hdd with a formatted file system. There's no real reason to have to install an OS image just to do a hardware burn-in anymore. My bread and butter right now is doing hardware testing and spyware removal via bootable discs with toolboxes installed to them, and it really doesn't make any sense to me why they would need to do much more than format the disk and do the burn testing from cd-rom. anybody doing large-scale manufacture of pc's already has a known-good installation image, replete with all the necessary software and drivers, so how hard would it be to do the hardware testing before transferring the installation image, so that you don't have to completely retool the assembly line to accommodate naked pc's?
I think shipping a naked/bare PC is extremely user-unfriendly and it also gives Dell a burn-in-test nightmare (how do you burn in a laptop which is supposed to have never had an OS installed on it? Do you then perform a military-grade disk wipe after you put the burn-in software on there? I dunno..).
Why couldn't they just use a bootable cd for the test software? Why even bother writing anything to the disk at all?
Hey, he could have also called it Haji Manuk ibn Harem net. I think that would have been appropriately offensive. (Haji == 'pilgrim', Manuk == 'anal receiving homosexual', ibn Harem == 'son of the brothel'. excuse my horrific transliteration of Iraqi Arabic)
And, as an aside, I'd like to point out that in every war, the enemy gets demonized to some degree. War makes people do inherently fscked up things that most people would not naturally be inclined to do, and vilifying the enemy, making him less than a full-fledged human being, makes it easier to do the fscked up things. Unfortunately, it doesn't fly when you're fighting COIN ops, and have to go for "hearts and minds".
By the way, getting really offtopic, we borrowed the derogatory use of the honorific title of haji from the locals, who use it to deride foreigners. Yes, they called us the bad name first.
And without the RIAA willing to play ball, Apple has nothing with the iPod. The design of the hardware/software interfaces and the business model revolves around having iTunes/iTMS. With iTMS, Apple can guarantee its users a pretty damn near seamless and hassle free music purchase/load on mp3 player experience. At this point, NOT having iTMS would hurt the iPod business. Should the RIAA pull the plug on iTMS, yes, they would screw themselves out of their best online revenue stream, but they'd also horribly pinch Apple. Of course, Apple is going to do what makes business sense, which is to try to strike a balance between the needs of the suppliers and the desires of the consumers. Much as I dislike the RIAA business model, and feel that they're imploding by their own gross stupidity, the average up-and-comer lacks the resources to get broad-based appeal, and the consumer, at this point, is not quite ready for searching for unknown (hence risky) music.
Executive summary: RIAA bad, Apple in bed with RIAA for business purposes, best chance of RIAA extracting stick from ass is iTMS/Fairplay model.
And if you disagree, look up the convenience of the terms of playsforsure and the fine products bearing that logo. And no, I don't think realistically that an unknown up-and-comer software company has a chance in hell of getting the RIAA to go along with a different, disruptive, but sane DRM model.
you obviously didn't follow the link to the unmitigated horror on the parent post. I had absolutely NO desire to have learned that there are people THAT fucked up in the world...
has anybody bothered to download the source and see if they can't write replacement stubs for the proprietary stuff linked in from outside frameworks? Objective C isn't THAT tough to learn...
Ummm... we go to great lengths to avoid doing that. Really. It's a lot less painful for everyone involved if you don't go out with the intent of doing things that you can't forgive yourself for later. Or that you will see courts-martial over.
As an aside, the most popular game in my platoon during 1AD's extension last year was the Sims on GBA...
If it's any consolation, I view the set of dissenting justices as an eclectic collection of justices whose agreement on any issue short of kiddie-porn snuff flicks as being a sign of the apocalypse. I don't view it as a conservative or liberal issue, I view it as one of average joe vs corporate interest. and yes, I do consider myself to be left of the political center. but on this issue, i have to wonder what the fsck the justices were smoking. I think we can agree across political lines that this is a completely boneheaded decision with questionable constitutionality.

I think they got their idea from dante alighieri's divine comedy (inferno, purgatorio, and paradiso). I'll have to check out this niven book, tho...

Millions of lines of code in spell checking software, none of it linked into IE...
Can I think for a waltz instead? </spelling nazi> Sorry, couldn't resist. I'll take that pun outside and shoot it later...
So, you're basically talking about a NeXT/OSX-ish implementation of memory zones and the Objective C retain-release mechanism...
