My wife IS a doctor, and she'll regularly get people who say 'Hi, I'm Dr Blah' so my wife will talk to them like they have a clue about medicine... and then you find out that its something like a preacher who thinks he's a Doctor because MLK said he was. Or PhD morons who like to call themselves doctor knowing full well no one else in the world things a PhD makes you a 'doctor' (Yes, I know it technically does).
My wife has sense learned that if someone calls themself a doctor, they're more than likely an idiot. Real doctors dont' tell you they are as they don't need to impress you.
Likewise, I'd like to think of myself as an engineer. I try to act like one, the method IS my madness! On that not however, I tell others I'm a software developer as I have not been formally recognized by anyone or any professional standards body as an engineer. It IS insulting to those people who DID put for the effort to qualify for the title.
Every time I hear a PhD of Something Stupid, or a preacher refer to him/herself as doctor I just want to punch them in the face for blatantly lying.
Yea, all that is well and good except if you bothered to RTFA... you'd realize that it was the opposite.
The school had requirements and deadlines and met their objectives and Oracle didn't, now they want to charge them more to finish what they already claimed they were going to do.
As such, the university is suing Oracle because they believe Oracle is the one who is breeching the contract.
You don't even need half a clue to know that making an assumption that Oracle is the one in the right is... well, wrong.
Not directly, but you most certainly can get rid of it the same way. You pay it off with some other type of loan. Credit cards are a great example. Pay the student loans down with credit cards, discharge the credit cards.
You're still not meeting your obligations (not that the school did either) and you'll still have 'bad credit' for 7 years, just like everyone else will now thats to the economy, and after 7 years, you'll have a much better time dealing with your finances.
I'd like to add too that, that now days, no one buys Oracle for databases anymore.
They seem to think their software has to feel like its still the 70s in order for it to be good software.
Theres really no reason to pick Oracle over the alternatives other than 'Yes boss, I bought Oracle and paid WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY too much money for the license'
The experience is entirely different when you hear the guy on the other side of the room scream as you blow his head off, and then go talk about it and compare notes or video reply and BS about what happened while you take a break, get a drink or grab some snacks between rounds.
I'd much rather sit down in the same room or two near by rooms and play with my friends than play over the Internet.
I play over the Internet because my brothers are spread out between Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado and North Carolina and I have friends in Georgia, Florida, Washington and California, but not as a replacement for a good old, everyone in the same home LAN party.
I think its rather nice to have my wife enjoy my past time with me. She plays video games, likes to go fishing and water skiing, oh, and she's rather attractive. You know what else? The same is true for 3 out of 4 of my geek friends I can think off of the top of my head. I can't imagine marring someone who I didn't get along with. Why would you intentionally make yourself miserably for the rest of your life? Just because you're trying to get laid so bad you ignore what actually matters for more than 2 minutes?
If you have such a problem communicating and spending time with someone that you argue over everything I highly recommend you do not get married or have a serious relationship with that person.
Intelligent people don't marry someone they fight and argue with all the time, doing so shows you to be rather ignorant and short sighted.
You're wife/husband is supposed to be your best friend and team mate, it sounds to me like you seem to not have a real good grip on healthy relationships.
When you 'build a house' for your lan party... you think in advance and you WIRE the house.
No one plays FPS games seriously over WiFi, latency is enough to matter especially with more than one person on the same AP. Someone takes a break, heats up some coffee and everyone lags out thanks to the Microwave.
Wifi is for dicking around on the couch and use in homes that aren't wired as a cheaper alternative to wiring.
I REALLY wish people would stop trying to do EVERYTHING over wireless methods, its a really stupid plan.
They still get the same amount as they would on 32 bit windows. The kernel is expected to be found in specific places within that 4GB range. Without the/3GB switch, the kernel presents itself across a 2GB range of the Applications address space. In/3GB mode, it presents itself across a specific 1GB portion of that address space.
The kernel does not mysteriously disappear to 32bit apps when you run them on a 64 bit machine. They still have to talk to it, and they still talk to it in the same 1GB of space that it claimed before.
32bit apps can use AWE to access more than 4GB of ram, but that requires special code and doesn't just work because the machine has more RAM, it also works perfectly well on 32 bit versions of Windows as PAE was designed for just that purpose.

My father in laws machine Dell came that way from the factory, which confused the hell out of me as to why Flash just refused to work on his machine until I was sitting in front of it and noticed it was 64 bit.
Intel has the best compiler, but its SO insane about optimizations that it ends up out of ordering things to the point that weird hard to understand bugs pop up out of the blue in your code if you switch to Intel's compiler from else where.
With that said, MS is the best one for general use for the exact reasons you stated, couldn't agree more.
Among critical feature changes: it completely drops suipport for some older OSes. So if Mozilla moves to a newer compiler, they need to drop support for some chunk of their userbase. How big this chunk is will influence this decision.
No, it really doesn't, at least not anytime recently.
I have absolutely 0 problem building apps that will run on Windows 95 in VS 2010. It just requires knowing WTF you're doing and understanding your tools. I doubt it, but its not out of the question that I might be able to pull off win3.1+Win32s support as well with some effort.
Learn to use the linker. Link against the proper base import libraries and not the VS specific import libraries, you'll also stop making it such a fucking pain in the ass to link anything else with your code since you're forcing anyone else to also depend on a specific version of the runtime libraries.
Link to MSVCRT.lib, NOT msvcrt80.lib, problem solved.
You'd think for an organization that blows through like a 100 million dollars a year you'd have one developer with a clue on staff, but hey, its Netscape all over again isn't it?
Which can also use a 64 bit compiler to compile 32 bit applications...
Its really fucked up that you think GCC is anything comparable to the MS compilers. GCC is basically the worst compiler on the planet that is known by more than 3 people.
Intel's compiler is the cream of the crop, MS's is a comfortable second, GCC is a distant last as far as performance, code output and all around quality.
On Windows, PAE + the combination of AWE (Addressing Window Extensions) allow a 32 bit process to access more than 4GB of ram indirectly, much like FAR pointers from yesteryear.

I didn't know 'Economics 101' was a synonym for 'greed'.
Plenty of people price based on actual value, not how much they can rip someone off.
Not everyone lacks honor.
your debt or discharge it through bankruptcy.

People who like to socialize?

And that is supposed to make it OK?
No, you merged a bunch of javascript and HTML together into big zip files. Real code combination, not so much.
Funny, the entire OS is compiled with PGO ... but Firefox can't be.
No, its still a Firefox problem, or your problem in your case, as you didn't architect your application properly.
No, they don't.

So, first of all, saving 300KB on WebGL seems like a pittance.
And WELCOME to WHY this problem exists in the first place.
Those little 300KB bits add up into one big 9GB mess because of people saying ... 'its only 300k!'
VisualStudio != MS C++ compiler.
They are two different applications.
What?
My father in laws machine Dell came that way from the factory, which confused the hell out of me as to why Flash just refused to work on his machine until I was sitting in front of it and noticed it was 64 bit.
GCC 'can do' some things ... and it 'can do' them really poorly.
GCC is a really shitty compiler, most bad programmers can hand optimize better than GCC can at its best.
On the other hand, MS's compilers do a pretty damn good job of optimizing code out of the box, far better than you can pull off with GCC.
Yes, the performance difference IS THAT BIG.
Also, you don't understand what COM is.
Intel has the best compiler, but its SO insane about optimizations that it ends up out of ordering things to the point that weird hard to understand bugs pop up out of the blue in your code if you switch to Intel's compiler from else where.

You can't get one of those from Microsoft
Uhm, yes you can. I do it all the time. Its been that way for years. Since at least VS2k5, I don't remember it in 2k3 though.
