I wasn't clear above and don't want to risk sounding like i was singling amazon out. Forwarding of contact details for purchasors of TV equipment s is a requirement by uk law - it was this revelation that we found shocking.
One of my Computer Science lecturers had a digi box (ordered from Amazon.co.uk) delivered to his university office address. Several days later, he received a letter from the TV licence people saying there's no person with his name holding a licence at that (his work) address, followed by a suggestion he might like to purcase one before being sued.
Not only that but the digi box was a gift for his parents, so they were even further off the mark.
Needless to say he was appalled.
Geek cool?
I never worked out why people what to advertise on a site like this. There's no draw to the site other than to see the (ridiculous) sight of all these little squares, and then damn the guy for getting away with it to the tune of 1million! Gotta hand out the props for that.
Visual Studio is not a pre-req for.NET, and i'd like to see apple grow their own implementation of a next generation IDE. With extention libs for doing Tiger stuff. Tiger.Forms Maybe. The work IBM are doing with Eclipse is great, Apple should have an offering too.
You can struggle on with ie5 while you lobby your bank to updgrade it's web client... yeah. right. But still, I think this is a skewed perspective on the actual problem here.
in #some# situations.net code can outperform unmanaged code because it (for example) knows where all the space is on the heap and can optimize to exploit this knowledge when JIT compiling at run time, rather than second guess optimizations at compile time.
This is true of any managed code, not just.net. Java code is pretty much as optimizeda as.net now, but they took a while to get there because java was not initially designed to be JITted .
but if i double click them, they take me to the correct location. As soon as i integrogate them otherwise (properties panel/rename etc) they fall apart into "files of no particular importance". It's always been a curiocity to me. Perhaps there was something more going on that just cygqin and NTFS.
Thanks for your reply. I'm interested to find out what's going on here, at the time i just shruged it off as weird, but cool.
I'll see if i can reproduce this evening.
When i create links in CYGWIN on my win32/NTFS box they appear in MS explorer as shortcuts and work like MS shortcuts but they act like symlinks, this lead me to belive that symlinks were possible under ntfs but not exposed to the user.

how could this be exploited any more than format.com?
...time to set up a pay pal a/c and submit to /. :)
I keep telling people to play the change machines instead, at least you're gonna break even on each slot session.
