Hi Mr. Box, I was wondering how you felt about being linked to others just like yourself in an attempt to create a distributed network? I also wanted to know what plans you had for the future?
As much as everyone here wants to see microsoft go down, there a thousands of windows applications that rely on these and you can bet that not all of them will be updated anytime soon. Many programs use OLE with WMP and IE to have these features but it sounds like older applications will now be incompatible.
I disagree. Back when xbox software was maturing, xbox media player and YAMP were two seperate projects doing about the same thing, both with very skilled developers. They merged and now XBMP has become the best software (IMO) on xbox to date.
Depends on the professor. I have been using the E&M lectures on MIT OCW for the last few weeks and that professor is extremely organized. I do not think it would be possible to understand everything he is saying running at double the speed.
If you cannot remember which gives you the negative you should NOT be using a calculator but rather studying and memorizing more. You should not have to go to your calculator to take the derivative or integral of any of the basic trig functions.
Try signing up for a few mailing lists for marketers. Usually they will sell these to other companies who will in turn sell it to other companies and so on. Most email addresses are not spammed by having it available on google but rather giving it to the companies that do the spamming.

Researchers who want animal sperm --to study fertility or for artificial insemination--have a suite of attractive options: They can ram an electric probe up an animal's rectum, shove an artificial vagina onto the animal's penis, or simply do it the old-fashioned way--manual stimulation. The first option, electroejaculation, uses a priapic rectal probe to send electricity pulsing through the animal's nether regions. "All the normal excitatory signals that stimulate ejaculation, like touch, sight, sound and smell, can be replaced with the current from the probe," says Trish Berger, professor of animal science at the University of California, Davis. "It's fascinating. Of course, this is a woman talking."
You mean I could be getting paid all this time?
Or maybe because science has proven time and time again to be accurate while religious claims aim for something so far-fetched that it cannot ever be proven. Bashing people is one thing, having no evidence but taking everything on "faith" is another.
When are people going to learn that computer can NOT replace people in jobs that are not mechanical. Computer cannot grade papers no matter how many sample papers you feed it. Teachers grade not only on grammer and spelling but emotive meanings and other factors that computers cannot recognize also play a part in it. Computers being used as a checker against plagiarism is okay, but to grade papers is a joke.
Who wants a C? Thats as good as an F in college, if you get a C you can just drop the class and take it again!
If you are a business major that is considered to be an extremely good grade. After all, college is only about passing classes and getting drunk whenever possible. Remember if you are a business major "you can do anything".
Why is this on the front page? Microsoft is not building a high school, they are funding it just like the fund MANY other schools around the nation including the one I went to. They donate large amounts of money to schools that are technologically advanced which will pay for upgrades on their computers for years. Nothing new here.
Um. How is this informative? It is a joke at the real subpoenas. Quoted from it:
That's right. Put down the Red Bull, scream "Holyshitmotherfucker!" as one long, unintelligible word and start saving your summer job wages, because we're coming to collect.
Of course, we realize that after receiving this letter, you may have doubts about the lengths of our penises. Our act of sending out more than 900 subpoenas could be interpreted by some therapitsts to be an effort to shore up our waning masculinity--a litigious "beating of the chest," if you will.
Yeah good point except it isn't true. Pro-life means you are AGAINST abortion in any way, not just for your own baby. Pro-choice means you can be FOR OR AGAINST abortion but it is your right to choose what is best for you.
I went to McDonald's this weekend with the kids. We go to McDonald's to eat about once a week because it is a mile from the house and has an indoor play area. Our normal routine is to walk in to McDonald's, stand in line, order, stand around waiting for the order, sit down, eat and play. On Sunday, this decades-old routine changed forever. When we walked in to McDonald's, an attractive woman in a suit greeted us and said, "Are you planning to visit the play area tonight?" The kids screamed, "Yeah!" "McDonald's has a new system that you can use to order your food right in the play area. Would you like to try it?" The kids screamed, "Yeah!"
The woman walks us over to a pair of kiosks in the play area. She starts to show me how the kiosks work and the kids scream, "We want to do it!" So I pull up a chair and the kids stand on it while the (extremely patient) woman in a suit walks the kids through the screens. David ordered his food, Irena ordered her food, I ordered my food. It's a simple system. Then it was time to pay. Interestingly, the kiosk only took cash in the form of bills. So I fed my bills into the machine. Then you take a little plastic number to set on your table and type the number in. The transaction is complete.
We sat down at a table. We put our number in the center of the table and waited. In about 10 seconds the kids screamed, "When is our food going to get here???" I said, "Let's count." In less than two minutes a woman in an apron put a tray with our food on the table, handed us our change, took the plastic number and left.
You know what? It is a nice system. It works. It is much nicer than standing in line. The only improvement I would request is the ability to use a credit card.
I will make this prediction: by 2008, every meal in every fast food restaurant will be ordered from a kiosk like this, or from a similar system embedded in each table.
As nice as this system is, however, I think that it represents the tip of an iceberg that we do not understand. This iceberg is going to change the American economy in ways that are very hard to imagine.
You do not need to be a programmer to set it up, unless the ability to follow directions makes you a programmer. As far as spam blocking goes, why would you expect a spam blocker out of an MTA? Most people would figure out that qmail is not for blocking spam and instead would use something like spamassassin and have the best spam blocker up and working within 5 minutes like I did.

takes about 10 minutes, why?

and boot times of under 100 mS 200 is too slow for me, I think I will wait for the 100 to be released.

If you are going to correct someone, at least spell the word "its" correctly. Unless of course you really meant that that he owned the word "really".
thanks

How does this book compare to the Microsoft book on writing secure code? MS jokes aside, this would be helpful in deciding which to puchase.
Why? the xbox has a 10/100 network card built in and it works well in linux.
This was already covered by cnet last december

this is the real subpoena

This helped me a lot, watching the lectures of the inctructs that they tape is almost better than going to a real class
I don't know what you are talking about, lynx is probably THE slowest browser I have ever tried, even the old netscape 4.x series is faster than lynx.
Please do not bring logic into this discussion.
