No offense, but I hope I'm never in a project with you
Don't worry, I'm a single-man operation.:)
I obviously don't have the CVS mindset. It just seems like a "geeky" gadget (being a geek myself, mind you, and there's nothing wrong with gadgets). About 90% of your post would be applicable if I didn't keep backups, but like I said I do - I just zip up each release. The point about having a storyline is satisfied by my changelog. In years of development for both large and small projects, I've only been interested in the info in the changelog, not the line-by-line programmatic changes that CVS would presumably give me. I can't imagine why I would want to know how the program looked between previous revisions. At that point it's obvious not working correctly, or it would be a release then. And If I ever want to see how a previous revision looked, I'll just unzip that one and look.
I certainly took no offense, and I hope you take no offense when I say I can't believe anyone would pass up a contract just because of a lack of source control...
I've always found CVS to be more trouble than it's worth. I do small-time development with Mac OS X (previously Project Builder, now Xcode) and like the *idea* behind CVS. But the articles/tutorials I've read are either how to install (which I have) and just go over the commands, or they're geared toward the expert. I haven't found much info on conceptual/fundmental questions, like on integrating with IDEs, for instance "do I check the entire development tree into CVS, or just the text files?" If it's just the text files, that seems like a lot of work. "How do I put my web site HTML files into a repository and still have the web server still be able to access it?" Overview stuff like that.
My current way of version control is the old way of just zipping up each release!
You try to be healthy and eat "natural" foods, and this is what happens.
Few of the estimated 75,000 chemicals found in the United States have been tested for their health effects
Where did they get this number? A significant portion of those appear to be in my breakfast cereal, judging by the momumental ingredients list.
it does not say any actual copyright infringement must take place--only that the file be available in a shared folder, Web site or FTP (File Transfer Protocol) site. "It says we don't care if anybody got any of these copies," Jaszi said. "We're going to conclude that at least 10 people did. It relieves the copyright owner of having to prove that any violation of their rights actually happened."
Good thing these guys aren't involved in the security of the retail sector. If I owned a store, these guys might put ME in jail because I have merchandise sitting out, available for someone to steal!!
I just hope I'm not in front of a vehicle that has just been shut down. Without the engine running, there's no "power" in power steering. Yeah, you can still steer, much it's a lot harder.
We're on the same page. People, conceivably, could have bought Jaguar just a week or two ago - Apple certainly isn't going to leave them out in the cold.
Magazines get their test cars and motorcycles right off the assembly line, but you can bet the manufacturers send them those one the better end of the tolerances.
Also they save these for their race teams, if the rules dictate the vehicle must be stock or nearly so.
From the sounds of it, it's not illegal because the FCC apparently doesn't have restrictions for broadcasting infrared, which the system uses (good thing, since things like headlights and tailpipes are major emitters). I guess the receivers are just looking for specific IR wavelengths.
Yes, the devices are made to change the light, but a pedestrian pressing the button on the pole can trigger a cycle too, and that's not illegal.
Apple has an Up-To-Date offer to buy v10.3 for $19.95, for those who've bought a Mac on or after October 8.
However, I bought my new 15" Powerbook a few days after it was announced last month (around Sep 18 or so) and plugged my serial # in for kicks. Lo and behold, I qualified!
I've heard rumors it's unofficially extended back just for certain systems....
I'm sure this is totally dependent upon the teacher's style. I've had some "we have a lot to cover and time is short" styles, where he bombarded us machine-gun style with facts, and other slow-as-molasses types that left me thinking "just get to the point".
Of course, even the machine-gun-style guy has to answer the questions I already know the answer to, a prime time for the fast-forward button.
Can someone explain how this is restricting telemarketers' First Amendment right? They can still "speak" all they want - I just don't want them to speak to me. Does the right to free speech mean there's a REQUIREMENT that they have an audience to listen? An unwilling audience?
I just realized I mis-spoke - I had PHP on my mind from the story. I actually have the Perl bookshelf, of whick I primarily use Programming Perl and Perl Cookbook (the others are good too: Perl in a Nutshell, Advanced Perl Programming and Perl for System Administrators). About $55 from amazon.com and well worth it!
I put a web bookshelf similar to this up on a (password protected, of course) page on my site. This is extremely handy when I'm helping some friend set up a php page, or from work. Very handy to have several books just a web browser away.
I doubt he knew in advance there would only be a few % increase. What if he had found, for instance, that changing the DRAM Burst Length from 4 to 8 netted a 40% boost in throughput?
His work is still valuable, if only to document (with numbers to back it up) that it's really not necessary to tweak these settings.
I'd say it was well-respected since it used a technology unlike any other game in the room, successfully enough that there was usually a line to play it.

Apple would have been 100% insane if they were to leave people out in the cold, who bought their operating system just a week ago!!
Whoa, slow down - Apple has not said they aren't going to support 10.2 Jaguar. I'd be willing to bet they simply released the Panther patch first.

At first I thought as you do, but then I started thinking of wide spreadsheets where this mouse would be QUITE handy.
Can it still be called skydiving in this case? Looks more like he was just the external payload for a small glider! Still, looks like fun.

Actually, that's exactly what it does (learn to walk). It's called Brevewalker, and it's available here.
