time ti nitpick, he did say he found a way to do it that worked before, but it wasn't economical, to expensive to manufacture. So its the 2nd way known:)
yea, a nice 400mm lens on a decent digital camera is really really nice for that kinda stuff...
most people whos seen pictures i've taken with a 200mm can't belive how far away i am so i'm thinking not many people know just how far you can see with some lenses, canon EF 600mm lens anyone! only $7,000! =)
Kyoto treaty is a joke, it allows for many countries to pollute to their hearts content, when countries like cananda, who probley have a negitie effect on CO2 levels due to the HUGE number of trees we have, are penalized and forced to reduce CO2 output so some other 3rd world country can pollute.. wtf is fair or right about that?? I don't care if we did it, we know better and so do they, just because we did in the past doesn't me they have the right to now.
And if you want to drop CO2 levels just fucking rise the price of oil, if the price per barrle goes up a dollar a year minimum expect alternitives to be found fast. But of course that will never happen as USA has the oil lobbiest and the world has OPEC or however you spell it.
Kyoto treaty won't do anything to help global warming (if such a thing exists, it can't be proven 100%..)
Grow up?? Maybe you should grow up and think about why a simple 4 letter word offends you so much... Its only a word that means pretty much whatever you fucking want it to:)
i think its more people find it to hard to grasp pointers, now that they have switched to java for CMPT 101,201 and such when people get into a course where C is used many are helpless and never truly learn pointer, then just deal with them.
And why would you want a string type??? a string is a array of chars, char[x] or char *cp, that IS a string. unless i'm missing something a string type is not needed.
So wouldn't the solution to this be 1 central computer that controls all robots, and when one does something that causes it to fuck up, the central brain relizses this and then all the other robots gain this knowlage, so it'll take 1 robot screwing up on the barbwire but after 1 "figured out" how to get across they all can.
ok, That has got to be the stupidist thing i've heard all day.
IF as it stands there is no law, you don't think one would be made? or that people wouldn't relize what is going on??
most people are dolts but how hard would it be to see, "country X instuls Country Y, Country X is destory by robots from no where, Country Y takes land"
In eurpoe you have people from each country all over the palce, and eurpoe is smaller then canada with at a guess 25+ more languages. In any given european country your really do have lots of people who speak other languages so it amkes sense. I'm not syaing that no country should do it, i'm saying that it doesn't make any sense for people in BC alberta, yukon and other provinces to be forced to do it.
"It's not required by any law" is how it should be, don't force the manufacturer to put french on the label. Let them decide if its needed or not and restrict the law to qebec.
The states also does it to i think (at least with signs), but only in the south for people who speak spanish. A better way to look at the law in cananda is it would be like the states saying every product must have spanish on it bceause there are a lot of spanish speaking people in the south.
It wasn't "full" independance. When have voters or politicians every done what smart. there is a westren sepertist party. Its hard to ignore when you see french on all labels, its required by law to be on every product sold anywhere in the country even thou only 1 province speaks it, silly no?
i'm from canada and alot of my friends hate the french because we were forced to learn frence in highschool (like we remember any of it now). And that all our labels have french on them thou i don't know ANYONE who speaks it, let alone only it. (i'm in BC), i hate it how the minority of the country can dictate that EVERYONE has to see that god damn french language everyday on everything.
Thus i and my friends say "Fucking french!"
also offtopic i remember reading somewhere that qubec is on life support from the other provinces, ie without the rest of cananda paying for it expenses it would be bankrupt. Not sure if thats correct as stat can doesn't have spending/revenue on a province by province basis.
well what makes that enforceable or lawfull? nothing has been signed, there was no agreement between him and microsoft that can be upheld by law. Its just some peice of paper or text telling him what to do. I'll never understand how a click thru agreement can be upheld the same as a signed contract would be.
Now if it was a company with a contract with microsoft allowing X copies to be run on X computers they would be breaking a contract, and that is breaking the law.
and if he copied the CD copyright law would be broken. But by running windows on 4 computers and not 4, i don't think hes breaking any REAL law and MS knows this, hence why they will never test their license agreement (thats probley unlawful its self)
i See the problem here this license thing. I don't wna to license something, i want to OWN it. Just like music (lets forget ripping and P2P here), a CD is yours to use on any device, sell giveaway ect. What makes windows, or any software for that matter, so special??
because its fine to discriminate against men but when its a women...
on campus theres a "womens only room", no one says anything But if it was a "men only room" the shit would hit the fan.
There are many "women in X" clubs, and no "men in X" clubs (where X is some random profession or sport or whatever) and if there was i'd bet it wouldn't last.
Men are always assumed to be the evil violent one, and even when its clear they are the victem, not the women, people sitll don't belive it.
i'm ignoring mission critical stuff, Don't run untrusted software on that. but then isn't it a given they are regulated by their own industries, Anytime safty is involved its almost always regulated already. planes - FCC, military - DOD, power stations - DOE, ect. You get the point.
But you are missing the point i was makeing, software, plain old software doesn't need to be regulated at all. Look further down and you'll see someone else say my point better.
Now about my point about thigns not working and who cares: If some random software solution doesn't work, fails, is undocumented, and doesn't have any support, isn't updates ect, no ones going to use it. They will use an alternitive that does have these things, or someone will most likly write something that does work, is documented and maybe even supported. Might be free, might not be.
Now to opensource (witch you braught up btw) if all open source applications where like that (and some are) no one would be switching to it, most aren't like that so people are switching. And with opensource YOU can either fix it yourself or hire someone to.
look at all the little applications, small things you can find all over the place, apps that do random (sometimes stupid and pointless) things. students playing around. People experimenting. There is fair bit of software where people just write it for fun and then forget about it. If something like that screws up and doesn't work, oh well. Thres no reason for the author to go back and fix something he did years back.
If it does damage the computer in anyway (wipes HD or OS) its a horrible program and probally won't be used long or often either, would be calssified as a virus.
i was very vauge with " their fault for not backing up their data", by that i was talking about if you use some editor and save to a file and it wipes the file and you lose all your work, shame on you for not keeping backups. I find applications that screw up thigns all the time. Alot of them are commercial closed source to (not to say opensource ones are anybetter or worse).
My point was regulateing software industry on a whole for whatever reason is BAD and is NOT needed. Nothing else. I may have done it in a very bad way, see the other guys post who did a much better job of it.
Oh and i'd have to say YOUR the ones whos being completely unprofessional. Spoken like a true loser/script kiddie/whatever Or is this guy just a bigger loser than most? If this idiot's opinions
You seem to have a very high and mighty opinion of yourself at that.
And when did i EVER say ANYTHING about opensource??

ummm, for me to design and build a car is costly, and to mass produce to sell to people.. not going to happen without even more $$$ and if i go out on the roads with my new car and it fucked up i can kill someone.
For me to design and code software is cheap and easy. And if it fucks up... wtf cares? people won't use it, no ones hurt (physically), and if they relied on it oh well, their fault for not backing up their data or whatever.
That is the WOSRT comparison you could have made, why not just compare it to the rules for the space shuttle...
A better comparision would have been software Vs home electronics, there are a few rules in home electronics, but pretty much anyone can build and design home electronics and sell them.
Regulation in software has no place, computers cannot kill or injure people. cars can (and do)
