Yeah, that works great if you want a blog. If you want to create anything other then that, Joomla becomes one giant headache to customize.
If you need a book to understand a CMS, you have defeated the purpose of a CMS. You might as well pick up a book on PHP, you'll end up reaching your goals faster.
The power of Joomla lies in it's separation from data and presentation, you can make any kind of site you want with Joomla. From the simple personal webpage to fully featured eCommerce solutions. It's all a matter of how much work you want to put into it, which compared to other solutions, won't be a whole lot of time at all.
Nevertheless, what sums this title up best for me is Chapter 4: Web Building Basics: Creating a Site in an Hour. I was suspicious at first, but am confident that with Tiggeler's guidance, it's quite possible to build your first basic Joomla! Web site in about an hour. That's an excellent premise, and the book delivers on it well.
Even less than that: install with default data, write up some menus, install a logo and delete all the default articles.
Why do we laugh when Wile. E. Coyote has an anvil dropped on his head or when Dick Van Dyke trips over the ottoman? Simple: more resources are available to us when others are taken outta the game.
We laugh as our brains try and reconcile seemingly incompatible aspects of a situation, this mechanism and good feelings associated with laughter enable us to understand the world around us.
It is absolutely the best media center software I have ever used.
Nothing beats the simple listing of directory content shared on a Windows PC by the 360, sure it would be nice to play all or create a play list. But I'll take that lack of functionality any day over some gaudy interface that does absolutely nothing other than create another obstacle between me and the content I want displayed on the screen. And if I ever feel the need for a pretty GUI to get to my videos, well then hey look at that Windows Media Center is already built right in!
Yeah HD is fine for games and the odd OTA sports broadcast but there are really no other situations where I've even noticed HD resolution, let alone cared or sought it out.
No but now your folder of com files will require a butt load of runtime files on every single workstation. Now personally I would smack it out as a stand alone executable in delphi, but that is just me.
I know every time I try and run WinNuke on my 98 box I get some sort of crazy MFC file required.
Yay! Good for you! You found a device that works great for you. The rest of the world also has devices that work for them and does what they want their phones to do.
For a large majority of people, that device is the iPhone.
'Remote procedure call (RPC) is an Inter-process communication technology that allows a computer program to cause a subroutine or procedure to execute in another address space (commonly on another computer on a shared network) without the programmer explicitly coding the details for this remote interaction'
'The primary function of DDE is to allow Windows applications to share data.'
Considering Direct X is the foundation upon which their gaming (and increasingly home entertainment divisions) are built upon I find the idea 'got out of PC gaming' absurd. Also consoles are not profitable, it's the software that run on them where the money lies.
I would say they certainly have the most productive to throw us a cool freebie like that. However I still prefer Pac-Man CE (championship edition) on XBLA.
It was also developed during the late 80s, it was probably a touch easier to design something then without worrying so completely and utterly about software patents.
In cryptography, a Caesar cipher, also known as a Caesar's cipher, the shift cipher, Caesar's code or Caesar shift, is one of the simplest and most widely known encryption techniques.
Sorry, if you're actually going to say that a lot of consumer credit cards aren't valuable or important, you're going to have to provide just a teensy bit more justification.
They are not valuable, nor at they important. They are numbers representing the illusion of assets.
Slashdot is so non-technical these days it's a complete fucking joke. Ignorance just spews on anything even remotely related to software development. Please drop "news from nerds" from the slogan. Replace with "lip service for sycophants".

People would rather talk about eCiggerettes than eLectronics these days on slashdot.
Best part of all this... It's just one troll page among many. There's a whole multinational sub culture of trolling that exists on Facebook with obvious roots in 4chan.
It's amazing that a bunch of punk kids from Australia, US and UK can have this kind of impact, lol.
The AHA statement sounds more like "we've tried getting people off their asses and doing exercise other ways, and people haven't done it. What the hell, it's worth a shot."
It might sound that away unless you recognize the very real need to start thinking in shades of grey as opposed to black and white when confront problems.
The more aware people are of their ability to make better choices is a step in the right direction and if a seal on a video game box helps in part to achieve that goal, all the better I say.

It displays a list of all my media from inside NXE. Because you see, I'm there to consume my media. Not gawk at a UI.

I like how they are devices now.
2 years ago these specs would have been exciting
Yeah it's time to live in the now and solder together your own Fusebox.

I feel like Microsoft has never developed a key software innovation
What about DDE/COM?
Set my mind to blown Sir.

The news here is they were claiming to be using encryption, but really were not.
Hail!

Thanks to my rot13 encoded TrueCrypt container, I can proudly say I use it every day and haven't felt this secure on the internet in years!
