"...and if all goes as planned the printer will automatically insert rebar into the concrete." Actually when creating a foundation the rebar should be laid first and suspended on dobies then concrete is poured on over the metal cage like structure. One can not simply print rebar & concrete simultaneously.
Was a free Xbox gold game. It is awesome. I'm an over 50 kernel hack and bought the Xbox 2 years ago for 2 boys. I only played this game to see if it would be appropriate for them and ended up getting hooked. They don't like it.
Not sure if anyone already mentioned this but my take is it is NOT how fast the project compiles but rather the performance of the executable. If one is building race cars it's not how fast they come off the assembly line, it's how fast the cars go on the track.
A number of us where I work are cube dwellers. The good thing about most modular cube systems is the table rails run from floor to the top. It takes about 15- 30 minutes to convert a standard desk high cube to be an elbow high one. Will need a screwdriver & a hammer.
From the FAQ http://www.kerberos.org/about/FAQ.htmlDidn't you guys have some kind of big falling out with Microsoft around Kerberos?
"We read about that, but MIT and Microsoft have a long history of working together on Kerberos. This history starts well before the release of Windows 2000. Since then, MIT and Microsoft have been working on standardizing some of the features such as realm referral that enhance the ease of configuration of the Active Directory product. To this day, MIT and Microsoft continue to work together on Kerberos standards. The most recent effort involves a joint proposal to protect Kerberos against weak passwords and provide enhanced user privacy. MIT and Microsoft have made a proposal and are working within the standards community to build consensus around this proposal."
Not sure how easy it is to replace Kerberos in Microsoft OS, the fact is with all the companies I've worked with globally, all of them were just using Kerberos in AD since it was there. Sure, you can turn it off and replace it with another option but cost wise it doesn't make sense...and I would imagine in most cases there would not be a need to as well.
With MS embedding thier version of Kerberos into their OS's it's fairly certain they will try to influence the direction of this in thier favor. Just something to watch out for.
Really, if you intend to spend MANY hours more than you do now in programming...doesn't matter what OS or compiler, etc.. this is one of natures calls that should be addressed no matter which way your lean.
Think about it how many people have coffee heaters & tea makers at their desk & water coolers just round the corner? Stach of cheetos and biscuits in thier drawers?
Why bother with all the usual courtship pleasantries when by contracting a professional this requirement can be scheduled at the appropriate times thus allowing you to be every so much more productive.
Hmm..that last sentence was almost a double entendre.
Tzedit.exe from Microsoft will allow you to create your custom designed time zone registry entries.
One thing is they MUST be within 12 hours of the system's GMT (UNC) value or they will not load.
Time Machine from Solution-Soft can provide an application with any timezone you want regardless of the systems core time.
Citrix has this as well. But then you have to be running terminal server as well.
Using tzedit.exe from microsoft you can create any timezone registry variable you want and then use that to test with.
Any problems will appear in multi-national applications, for example server in Paris talking to server in NYC where the application was writen to take care of the hour offsets based on previously known values. Things like that.
I think there's going to be a bit of extra testing across IT America.
Actually it can work on webmail systems providing the user has a shell account on the server and access to Time Machine, the forward-date testing tool. It can move a single users date forward or back in time without changing the system date for any other users.
I imagine the survey will look a lot different next year if things keep going the way they are. The article below talks about a company out in California looking for a programmer at $15/hour.
June 30, 2005 3:26 PM PDT Coding for $15 an hour? Could a computer coding job paying just $15 per hour signal something's wrong with the tech world?
That relatively measly amount is what's promised in an ad for a "ASP.NET Programmer" on the America's Job Bank site. The job, which calls for "at least 1 year's experience either in school, at work, or a combination of the two," is being offered by employment services company AppleOne, according to the ad.
I agree that's a fine plan and I do synch with my Yahoo account now. Don't know if I can synch Outlook with Google or if it I could if it would provide any more benefit. But that still wouldn't help me in some cases where I need some information from either email or contacts and am overseas. Granted that only happens about once a quarter, but having that stuff available in an instant-on device would be a great time-saver. For now I am stuck travelling with both the PDA & the laptop and synch the most current email on PDA along with my main contacts. Anything more than 100 days old in email or beyond my most frequently used contacts I have to boot the dell. And, yes I do have to do that often.
Can't stress enough how much simpler my life has been since I swapped my handsping & star-tec in for the pocketPC phone!
My dream of a perfect PDA (sounds like a good subject for a/. poll) would be a combined device of world-phone, Outlook, web browser, 802.11, camera, IR port, 256 megs ram & a multi-gig HD. Oh, and it should have an electric shaver too for those times when I'm in a real hurry to get on the road. A laser would be nice to!
I do have a laptop. Problem with that is waiting for the damn thing to boot when all you need to do is look up an email or contact for a phone number. I should have expanded my original post some, now that I think about it. I have a PocketPC from Audiovox and one day I synced my entire contact list which contains 5000+ contacts. The dang thing crashed. Hmm, maybe I need a PDA with a lot more memory (RAM) and an HD?
I want my information available exactly when I need it, not two minutes later!

I agree. You DO NOT want to work for a company that has " listing all the container classes in STL" as an interview question. That is retarded.

I've laid awake at night for years hoping for a bendable phone.
I was "trying" to be funny.
I hear it's going to explode on the market

".... man up and use emacs" Really? Back in the day emacs was what people used to avoid VI. Macs are over-priced bling.
