2 - Increased productivity in office applications (I guess since the fanfarre at the end of freecell, etc, is going to play faster, you'll have more time to have a chat w/ Office Assistant)
3 - Oh yeah, ans MS Projects wastes several CPU cycles with that new blue skin of theirs, so MS Project will be faster, yay!
And never mind you won't type stuff faster with a faster processor...

This is the same company that encourages high school students to become software engineers??
And why is that bad?? Oh, wait, I know! It's because you feel useless when you see High School kids doing a BETTER job in VB than several CS engineers...
"how am I supposed to tell my kid I'm an Software Engineer at MS"
But anyway, you could try and show them a simple Python program, or something like it
Python is fairly easy and pretty much "BASIC" like. You could walk them thru the construction of a Python program (something that calculates your age based on your bithdate or something)
Then use what many in the high performance compupting field do: Fortran.
Because they are too lazy to learn a REAL programming language. Like C.
There is at least one advanced C++ development project I know of that has Fortran as its core deep in the bowels of the FFT routines... for efficiency reasons. It's just plain faster.
Maybe because you are using the Intel compiler, that chews Fortran and spills highly optimized code. But sorry, you CAN'T beat hand optimization using ASM/Intrinsics in C++ for FFT (or any other kind of code)> just read the bloody Intel manuals!
Plus, how many buffer overflow exploits have you seen recently on Fortran programs?:-)
How do Microsoft expect to compete with Linux (or even pirate "versions" of Windows)when, in a country like Brazil, people have to pay $220 for Windows XP Home (and even more for the professional edition)
That's twice as expensive as in the US (and actually something like 5x more expensive if we account for all the factors)

Intel Marketing is great, I LOVE IT
to them , 64 bits means:
1 - the internet is faster
2 - Increased productivity in office applications (I guess since the fanfarre at the end of freecell, etc, is going to play faster, you'll have more time to have a chat w/ Office Assistant)

Verbs translated to functions?? Nouns to variables??
int jerk_at_counter, hottie_in_accountancy, dork_at_it;
kill(boss);
send(intern,hell);
Yeah, that will work...
welcome our flesh eating maggot overlords!

The worse thing i've seen in a (Windows) driver.

Really...
Microsoft will help maintain the value of its clients' existing code
This is like saying Britney Spears's songs are "intellectual property"...
GO TO HELL!
No, really, they're "acting" as a bunch of trolls...
It'll be good to see GPL violators being held responsible. We can start with CherryOS.
Paraphrasing:
Violators will be shot
Survivors will be shot again

www.python.org has all you need.
We've been using this in Brazil for CENTURIES...
Come on!
On second thought, NO! I'm patenting it! HAhahaha
f 10GB of MP3s are written on a wire, and there is no reader to play it. Does it make a sound?
No, but you still get to be sued by the RIAA...
It's not supposed to be funny! I mean it...
Sometimes I feel Open Source stuff is even more bloated than their Closed Source counterparts...
I have a machine at work that struggles to run XFCE with only 256Mb of memory.
Windows XP runs fine with that... I know, I know, security sucks, blah, blah, but!
Open Source used to be pretty good at reducing bloat, but nowadays...
you've got to be kidding me!

Zero programs, zero bugs!!
No, really...
Can't I just plug it in? Yes!
Maybe because "dock" is 1337?? You see, I don't PLUG my iPod there... that's SO old fashioned, no, I DOCK my iPod!
How kewl is that???
One less vendor to consider...
If Dell wants to continue to sell crap, just let them... I'm not buying.
First - visit their Webside using Firefox or Opera. If it doesn't work properly, forget about it.
Second - good balance between HTML, Flash, dynamic pages - What if the browser doesn't have Flash installed? Is the Web Site usable (or useless)??
... Itanium Sucks...
Go for Opteron Systems, BUT just have one thing in mind... 16Gb = 16 or maybe 8 memory modules, SO...
A new virus is spreading through password-protected .arj files.
.ARJ file is, let alone find a password cracker for it.
Fortunatelly, no one got it, as no one remembers anymore what the heck an
Rumors said the password is "G04TSE.CXR0X".. go now then, have some fun...
The Windows installer should have a partition editor,
/home on a separate partition, /var on a sep..
Check! WIndows XP and 2000 both have it.
It should allow you to easily install Windows on a separate partition from your data.
Just did it last week!
Then you can keep
It's called "Documents and Settings"
Here's why I like Mono
.NET is better than Java in my opinion.
1 - GTK plainly sucks for development. No, really, I tried, and it's worse than MFC.
2 - Windows.Form is THE thing that will allow true Linux WIndows portability. And it's a good widget library.
3 -

It's a slow day today. Really!
For "news" that atually say "hey, nothing happened"
Creationism is not a theory, it's just a load of crap.
(no, really!!)
Yes!
