Yeah your right. Thats how QtDesigner from trolltech works. You use it to design the interface and drag the code over to where it applies. Thats how I thought you were supposed to program when I was 10 years old(almost 15 years ago) using qbasic.
It was microsoft that screwed all this up with VisualBasic and VisualStudio. So now after screwing up programming with their IDE's(and those being called a step forward) there making another step forward by going back to the way just about everyone else does it?
Grounds and fuses are put on things because that kind of stuff happens on the regular basis and is very cheap protection. You know of any structures that strech out high into the sky that are hurrican, tornado, earthquake and fire proof? Just how do you expect that to be possible? Theres a far cry from forcing cell phone companies to do something almost impossible and going bankrupt vs a fuse costing a few cents or a ground costing a few dollars.
Before we make cell phone companies make bullet proof towers why don't we make hurrican proof houses? That would save a hell of a lot more lives. Disaster strikes and the first thing you people think about is cell phones?
It will have a compiler at least that should be command line compatible with gcc, I dont know if gcc works with this arch or not considering the ps2 linux kit lets you develop programs for it. I'm not sure if you can recompile the kernel though.
Sometimes it's the opposite. Installing my ati all in wonder in win98 consisted of this: Installing a/different/ pci vga card in the pci slot where i was putting the ati card. Start the installation process. Reboot, remove old vga card and install ati card. Install some more software, reboot. Installation worked most of the time, but not all and was very easy to screw up and involved about 3 different installation programs. When I installed mandrake 8.2 all I had to do was choose whether I wanted 3d accell or not. That was it, it was all working when the installation of mandrake was finished. No drivers were made for Win2000/XP that I know of, if they were it was YEARS afterward.
Installing SB Live was a simple as turning the computer off, putting the card in and turning it back on. I didn't have to do anything else, not even click ok. It was set up and made default when mandrake came back on. Never tried using the card on windows.
Just recently my POS SB live died. So I took it out and installed my 14 year old ISA aztech sound card. I had to read through the documentation for the kernel and set two settings when loading the module. I'm sure searching on the internet would have told me the same thing. Setting this sound card up in win98 involved between 12-15 settings that had to be correct(more settings that the documentation mentioned.) Not to mention that the only way to tell it was working was when windows came up with a message telling me to turn of the computer and install the sound card. Any other message and it wasn't working. Not to mention it would constantly try to load sblaster clone drivers everytime I rebooted. I had to leave them installed but disabled. God knows what XP would do with this card.
Or you could have used a distro that includes ATI's driver. There really isn't much of a point in using ATI's driver unless you want to play one of the dozen or so video games available for linux that requires it. Otherwise the opensource 3d driver is better. Faster 2d, more stable and faster at most simple 3d apps.
My brothers fiance has been using my linux computer a little bit to get on ebay without any assistance whatsover, she just uses it sometimes during the day. I can just tell because she leaves the browser open. On the otherhand, she couldn't use the macs at her university without me holding her hand, this was after I figured it out, not having used macs in a long time.
A lot of things are fairly counterintuitive on macs. Little different colored buttons for window operations aren't intuitive at all. The icons along the bottom for starting programs only work if you know what icon you need, etc.
Its a hell of a lot slower, theres no way it can compete with ReiserFS, XFS or many others on performance. And neither WinFS or NTFS come close to the kind of features you can get with Reiser4.
Yes but the more businesses use linux the more apps and hardware will become available for it. It will take a long time(if ever) for big software houses like adobe to port software but it opens up a huge market for new, small developers that previously had no ability to compete with the big companies.
Mainconcept, a commerical app is available. One issue with it(don't know if it still exists) is that it wants to load the entire video into memory, so make sure you have a ton of swap space. Cinerralla looks powerful, but I could hardly get it to do anything. Just getting videos into a format it could use was tedious.
Unless you go through the effort of expungment it's still on your record and they will still see it, regardless of the verdict. Court records are public information.
I use a 650mhz amd duron with 596 megs of ram(haven't had any swap setup for past couple months.). I'm using Mandrake Limited Edition and my monitor is running at 24bits with 1400x1050. I have no problems whatsoever running multiple sessions of gnome, kde, etc at the same time. It runs firefox, compiles software, openoffice, eclipse, encoding music/dvd's, burning cds, etc and whatever apps I feel like running at the same time. Well, burning cds will make it a little bit slower but otherwise it's still more than useable.
And it does this with more responsiveness than my mom's p4 running WinXP trying to run a single app. Granted the XP box is 'saddled' down with instant messengers and other stupid little programs but why on earth do people use this as an excuse for poor performance? Instant messaging and gator slowing down performance of such a fast machine is a joke. My linux box is also running postfix, dhcp server, dns server, apache, etc also. And I could open up multiple sessions of gnome/kde and fill them up with every damn instant messenger and other stupid little accessory and still not lose and performance. And this is with no swap!
In otherwords, don't be afraid to run X on your athlon 500. You may need to put your swapspace in an intelligent spot since you only have 256mb(I don't know if I'd run kde or gnome much lower than that, but then again I haven't tried either). I don't know why people insist on putting their swap right at the end of a 200gb hard drive (with all their apps installed at the beginning) and then bitch about thrashing as the hard drive runs back and forth constantly...
600/mo rent I was quoting was the bare minimum, generally not very safe areas at all with lots of random violence. And thats about almost a 2 hour drive to dc at that point to dc.
And these are for 1 bedroom apartments, not anything a family could live in. 2 hours away from dc where i live the cheapest housing still starts above 300,000 for a smallish townhome.
It's not so much that the jobs pay more, it's that theres hardly any jobs at all once you get a little bit outside of dc. It's just houses with a few apartments scattered here and there. I think theres maybe 5 small office buildings in the entire county I live in(2 hours out of dc with traffic, 30 min without), and and a couple "business parks"(shopping centers with offices instead of stores basically). This is for a population of over 300,000 people and the cost of living is still very high. Yes you can get apartments for under 1000/mo here but if it's in an area you want to live your gonna pay at least 900/mo.
ok, i'm sorry, it has templates for different kinds of page layouts. i had this program a long time ago, some vector program from I think computer associates....i can't even remember the name. it had this really neat align feature that would do things "intelligently"(as it would say). basically if you had the outlines of say, a bunch of country's it would align their boundries. thad and it had some kick ass clip art. and of course bezier courves were state of the art at that point.
i'm sure theres atleast 30 win31 vector drawing apps that are more powerful than ms publisher. if ms publisher is whats holding you back make the goddamn templates yourself. you are paid to do something other than click through wizards. maybe that didn't teach you that in school. they should. i know, you should be paid to play video games and check disk space usages. what else is a systems's admistrator supposed to do?
when your all out of work bitching about consultants, don't say nobody blamed you.
Try buying a house/townhouse or renting anything anywhere near dc and you'll see why people do that kind of stuff. Average rent for a 1 bedroom apartment anywhere within a 45 minute drive of dc during rush hour is around $1000/mo. Anything less than that is in a very crappy area. By the time decent 1 bedroom apts get to around 800/mo your in suburbs with hardly any work around unless you want to work it mcdonalds. Your about 3-4 hours out by the time it's possible to find any apartments under 600 regardless of size or condition.
Mass transit is expensive around here too, it would cost me over 400/mo to commute from where i live to alexandria, which is over twice what i pay for insurance and gas combined. I'm willing to bet a lot of other areas are the same.
1 and a half drive would get you maybe 20-30 miles in this area during rush hour, not to sure exactly though. If there's a bridge involved it's gonna be atleast 15 minutes for a mile, usually longer. I've never been on the woodrow wilson bridge during traffic yet(thank god) so i don't know what that's like.
Oh I'm sure they aren't. If the person who caused the wreck is an 'upstanding' member of society and they hit somebody most people would rather have dead cause of the way they look(or maybe they're poor or something) then I'm sure they wouldn't be charged with involuntary manslaughter.
About five miles from where I'm sitting some kids stole a stop sign as a prank one night a few years back in a residential area, speed limits on both roads is 25 mph. Well guess what, some dumbass POS yuppies managed to kill themselves because the stop sign that'd been there since the road was there suddenly disappeared. Never mind the fact that if neither had been speeding theres no way people could have been killed. Never mind if the people involved in the wreck had been following a single god damned law those dipshits would still be alive. I'm glad they're dead, they're all idiots. No, the kids involved had to be charged and convicted of involuntary manslaughter of some degree. They had NO INTENT to kill of course. And the situations surrounding the event, it was still the drivers fault. Just becuase theres isn't a sign there telling your dumbass to stop dosen't mean your aren't supposed to stop(or at least slow) at intersections where you can't see.
Our legal system is filled with a bunch of bullshit that means nothing. What happens in court is revenge for cases like these and it goes along with the status quo. Maybe you live in some dream world where you actually have specific cases to back this up, but I'm sure whoever caused such wreck was somebody that the majority of the people in the area liked. Thats what really counts. Had it been a 20 something who didn't get straight A's all the way through college and have priests speaking on their behalf, or some wealthy professional, they'd still be in jail.
Hell, I heard this story once. Guy left his car unlocked. Kid steals the car, wrecks and kills his punk ass. Guess who goes to jail for involuntary manslaughter, accessory or whatever(can't remember the exact bullshit charge right now)? Yep, the guy who left his car unlocked. Why? Someone wanted revenge for the kids death.
While they were stealing everything they could get their dirty little hands on....they were even stealing beds out of hospitals. I know, these world events are less boring than commercials... but... if your gonna watch the news pay attention to the pretty pictures on your oh so wonderful gray japanese television set for longer than five seconds. You could also try listening to what they say!
Probably because macs are more prevalant for graphic designers and advertisers. If it's a tv show or movie apple's probably paying to get it in their, I'm sure microsoft doesn't see a point in them doing that.
That's because Yamaha licenses out the sounds in their instruments. These types of things have actually been taken to court before. If you use midi to get some other sounds onto your keyboard you could be violating copyrights of the owners of the sound. I've heard of this happening before. I would be worried about any special artwork in the programs.
Yeah and so did pc's, commodores, tandy's, etc..your point? Can you use vbscript interactively? It's been about a year or two since I've tried programming on windows, I didn't see a way to do it. Does object orientated programming even lend it self to interactivity well? Just because you can use it interactively doesn't mean you really want too.
That's great, how does this answer my question? When I said interactive I meant interactive as in the old basic shells. Where you don't need to write a program to begin with.
In Virginia liquor is only sold in liqour stores owned by the state, but beer, wine and malt liqours are sold just about anywhere(grocery stores, gas stations, etc). And it is hard to do anything in most suburbs without a car. Around here though the busses do run usually until 10 or 11:30 at night.
