The six sacred words: nothing that is so, is so. Bush isn't a holy christian man, though he spouts 'God bless America' everytime I see him on the idiot-box [tv]. Where are all the devout christians telling him to turn the other cheek?
So on the one hand we have a leader ready to melt brown people for the preservation of oil (i know, more complicated then that). I guess the "real" christians don't want their kids to go get video games to make them do the same so we see this sort of thing.
Don't forget to censor the news.
And who's in charge of the definition of terms on these "violent" video games? Bush? The kids parents? A group of fanatics?
Heh, it's like those 'shareware' CDs we saw in the early 90s with "thousands of games" on them -- you know, those horrible VGA games (ok some of them were kinda cool).
I think I'll fire up the ole 386 and get my thousands of games!
Well, I realize that Nintendo has a very large mindshare, but comparing their bank accounts to MS, it's like night and day.
I own a gamecube, and not an xbox... because everyone loves the cube and the games are great (way to go metroid).
Didn't mean to bash Nintendo, just to point out that they (a game company) are in the ring with the big boys who do tons more than just games and can operate at a loss.
Mindshare and advertising power. Nintendo has the greatest mindshare, but MS has a bottomless wallet in comparison.
Basically I remember going into a store to buy games during the christmas time. The XBox stuff was all in the front, in your face, and toted by the clerks as the best stuff around.
Gamecube had about 1/3 the display, and it was in a corner.
more than just 32k games and a great console. They need the mindshare and advertising power that Sony and Microsoft have, and to a lesser extent, Nintendo.
Even then, I think consumers already have enough with the PS2, XBox, and GameCube. Will they pick up a fourth?
The idea of playing games over broadband is interesting, but that's already a common use for computers (where you would have the broadband!).
I like how Linux is used for realistic and cost effective solutions like this... presented with a problem people develop a cost effective solution using Linux.
But how do we move beyond these spotlight instances of Linux deployment to where many corporations will easily consider using Linux for their marketing department's PCs, etc?
but mainly by people who are developing on the Linux platform. The majority of managers, marketing, and other folk are very tightly monitored by the IT department and are not ready for Linux yet.
Here, it's all RedHat 8.0. It was tough to get people to switch to 7.3, but once the developers saw 8.0 they loved it.
It's interesting to note the implication of how much power the Supreme Court has... the gorts always look at the President as the most powerful entity around and fail to realize that each branch is powerful in its own unique way.
Let's just be thankful we do have some form of checks and balances.
"Congress passed the copyright law after heavy lobbying from companies with lucrative copyrights. "
The millions that these companies *could* have lost was the question here, and this article seems to imply that their lobbying easily got what they wanted.
The artists, probably dead or going to die, will not see the continuous profits. It reminds me of intellectual property agreements... things no longer belong to individuals, but companies. Would any of these original artists really mind if someone started using their base ideas more after all this time? They'd probably be happy to see their idea continued.
Obviously you want $theme as a variable that comes out of a trusted data store. The point is that $theme isn't taken out of the global domain and then just stuck into an include. You take the preference change off of a page, and then you validate it with a trusted store... then you include.
You might have a table that lists all the themes, and then under then the user record holds the current theme they select.
In regards to $_SESSION, that does not put anything client side other than a session ID. All variables are stored locally, either in memory (with mm extension), flat file (by default), or in a database [forget where I saw how to do this, but I'm pretty sure you can set the storage location to a DB].
fuzzy thinking to make you want to scream for some real answers.
The reality of the situation is that SCO could never collect 100 dollars against every PC running Linux. At best, they would hurt RedHat, destroy what's left of Mandrake's bank account, and have a luminous cloud over every little distribution out there.
Are they going to use the linux counter or something?
For starters, it doesn't end the cable clutter. There are still cables there. The only thing that can end cable clutter is to go wireless where possible and organize wires yourself.
Secondly, will this thing fit in popular office furniture bays for computers? Some "cubbies" in office furniture are fairly narrow, this thing looks like it wouldn't fit.
I can't find it, but I seem to remember an old article about a computer case that was made out of wood - to match your furniture. That was much more innovative than this.

or as the Zaurus.
Or maybe the HP iPAQ which was the banner ad I first saw when reading this article - ironic, I know.
But who would really choose Quake for the PS2 over your computer?

Oh, and the IT folks like it too, though I don't have much contact with that organization.
Once MS file formats are better supported, I'm sure the bulk of ignorant computer users won't mind it - or at least not be as lost.

AFK? Sup? How about "yo", or "heh"
I was disappointed even reading this article!
Almost as interesting as those lovely discrete math textbooks were. This sounds more like 'Optimizer's Delight.'
To be honest, 'Hacker's Delight' sounded more like a cookbook title.
An interesting case of ex post facto, or "after the fact" thinking.

The people of power saw a nation of Gorts, and is taking full advantage of them.

And he did it pretty cheap too... his only real expense was the wireless access points (way to go Linksys).
How's the weather in egypt? Wonder how it does in storms.

Graffiti is vandalism, picking someone's pocket is theft. But, the last thing we want is an internet security force. Damn.
The little guy just wants to hop on the band wagon of scientific bull like clonaid.
This is like having 'the top 10 mistakes in programming', when what you really want to know is the top 10 in C++, Java, PHP, Perl, etc.
This only occurs if you have registered globals on and you don't initialize your own variables.
I.e. you can have registered globals on, just make sure you don't have any unset variables.
This is much more easily fixed if you just have registered globals off, then everything is in the $_GET, $_POST, and $_SESSION, etc arrays.
