Are other civilizations, on other planets around other stars, in any danger from us?
Do their transmissions, when we eventually find them, make us wish to rise up and destroy them?

Hacking VIM
·
· Score: 1
One of the great thing about VI(M) is the ability to execute this in Batch Mode (i.e. Ex ).
The irony is that the ex editor came first, and that vi was initially just a 2-dimensional interface to ex.
Or did I mean em?
Ubuntu for you - why? Wy would you prefer a Linux distribution currently targetted for desktop and laptop machines over one specifically targetted for the small form-factor and low-power consumption marketplace? Some biases, or comfort zones, need to be overcome when changing technologies.
As mentioned by others, there's no search engines, but what about Google Maps or Google Earth? They provide an amazing software service where you don't need to visit a 10 year old atlas, when you can visit a 2 month old actual photograph (Katrina withstanding)!
Some amazing omissions in their list!
Thanks for your comment; it summaries well what I meant from my parent post.
The security challenges posed by C are not necessarily the same as those posed by C++,
or vice-versa. Similarly, an ignorance of the similarities and differences of the two languages
may lead to even great security vulnerabiltiies.
[Sorry, however, if my "score" of Off-Topic now affects your article.]
For the latter case I could write the software in an afternoon (Excluding testing, writing a manual etc.), and already have my own research tool that does precisely that, so $99 is extremely steep.
You clearly don't value your own time very highly.
The article concludes that "Software Engineering is a young discipline". The term was first coined in 1961, so I'd like to suggest that only recently have many agreed on what software engineering actually is, and how it should be undertaken.
Actually Prof. Jane Prey is a very active member of the ACM Computer Science Education community (ACM-SIGCSE) who has, on many occassions, provided a very helpful interface between Microsoft and our academic community. I am completely unsurprised that it has been Jane who (must have) raised this delicate issue within Microsoft, overseen its resolution, and acted as a communication medium between the large company and our community. Your attempt at humor is somewat out of line.
but when you're wandering around outdoors I'm pretty sure you have no reasonable expectation of privacy. Unless they figure out a way to drive those vans into our restrooms,

What, synthetic rubbish? This is outrageous!
Hello? NASA? Have you even heard of the iPhone?
As soon as we find other life, the probability of us finding it was 1.

Some wrong in the world?
That this article solidly refuses the claim? (of course, you have to believe another politician from the Coalition of the Killing).
... and another when the iSight cam. is on....
Well this doesn't bode well for VOIP on the iPhone, under Cingular, does it?

Too big, I think. It's the Nokia N800 that you should consider.
Oh bugger! Back to Maths School for me!....
Ummm, been doing maths long? That'd be 700 songs per user per year.
35C? What 35C? Do you mean 25C or 34C ?
Perhaps "The Art of Unix Programming" should just become required reading?
That may all be true, but you don't graduate with just the 100-level courses!

How long will it take employers, head-hunters, and even some technical people, to realise this?
Your university bookstore sells wood? !

You don't view the HP50g (though not made by HP) as an update to this?
I'm wary of any article using both 'toilet' and 'launch' in the same sentence.
Yes, especially those outdoor restrooms.
