There are constraints, but they're not by type... They're by supplied function signatures. Any function called on the Template parameter "T" must exist in the datatype passed in the s.
So, you can't restrict by base class at compile time like you can with C#.
There are many 720p games for XBox too. Can you point me to a 720p PS2 or GameCube games? Plus, I've only seen one 480i XBox game...
1080i:
Dragon's Lair 3D Enter the Matrix Syberia
That's all I know off the top of my head.
Anyway... if you have an HDTV, there's so substitute for high-def games. All the PS2 sites talk about "cool progressive scan games" like that's such a huge deal. It's only a huge deal because that's the best it offers.

"When in Rome" doesn't help when your team crosses time zones--and your deadline doesn't. You Can't Hide from Culture Technology has made it possible for organizations to construct teams of people who are not in the same location, adopting what one company calls "virtual collocation."1 Worldwide groups of software developers, financial analysts, automobile designers, consultants, pricing analysts, and researchers are examples of teams that work together from disparate locations, using a variety of collaboration technologies that allow communication across space and time.
Although solving the problems of space and time is difficult, these are not the only issues. Work that takes place over long distances means that communication will often involve different cultures. Participants may be surprised by such interactions because they have not considered various cultural differences and how they impact the daily work of long-distance teams. Our own culture is invisible to us. "We don't see our own ways of doing things as conditioned in the cradle," writes Esther Wanning, author of Culture Shock! USA. "We see them as correct, and we conclude that people from other countries have grave failings."2
The goal of this article is to review various cultural differences likely to appear in the work setting and explore their implications for virtual collocation of software development teams. We begin with a definition of culture and various dimensions of cultural difference that have emerged. Then we examine two cases: (1) one in which the team members are collocated; and (2) one involving the team in virtual collocation. From this analysis we draw some practical implications.
CULTURE AND ITS DIMENSIONS Larry Samovar and Richard Porter3 have defined culture as:
The deposit of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, attitudes, meanings, hierarchies, religion, notions of time, roles, spatial relations, concepts of the universe, and material objects and possessions acquired by a group of people in the course of generations through individual and group striving. Culture is acquired. It helps people categorize and predict their world by teaching them habits, rules, and expectations from the behavior of others. It helps people "read" the world's signals--the meaning of symbols of artifacts, gestures, and accoutrements of others.4 Culture also molds the way people think: what their motivations are, how they categorize things, what inference and decision procedures they use, and the basis on which they evaluate themselves.5 It sets the gestures, space, and timing of interactions.6
There are multiple kinds of culture: national, regional, occupational, organizational, avocational, and generational. Any of these might have important effects. Here we focus on national culture, assuming that knowing at least what a member of a culture shares with others is helpful in understanding how to interpret unusual behaviors. There are cultural explanations and new signals to read in understanding various interactions with people who are unlike oneself.

How cool was Telix!!? Thanks for reminding me of that great product. I was so psyched when I first started using that... 3.15 was the best version too.. God I feel old!
cute, but I believe this is only true for the truck driver turned VB programmer types... I've had no problem maintaining my salary level throughout the bad times.
WEll, frankly, 3 days is not enough time to come up with an idea, never mind designing a coding a solution. Then, there's marketing, etc. You seem to have gotten lucky with what you've written, but it's pretty much impossible to write 30 useful programs with an average beginning-to-end time of 3 days. If you could do that, you'd be giving Bill Gates a run for his money...
What I want to know, is how can Sean Astin (Sam) NOT be up for Best Supporting Actor!? He did a phenomenal job in that film. Heck... Sean's also a member of the Academy... figured he might be able to pull some strings...
Slashdot Mirror
That doesn't make a difference.
We're talking about competition in the search engine market. That, like most of the Internet, has no geographical affiliation.
This is America
Ummm... maybe it is where you are...

Great Sig!!
How is it public domain? (Writers are work-for-hire... it's definitely not stealing)
Ye gods man! Have you no faith in the Simpsons worship of fellow Slashdotters??
You ought to clarify that he stole that line from Rick Mercer...
I couldn't figure out what you were talking about until I searched on Google for:
"Rick Mercer" pine cone birch branch
came up with one web page with the previous quote.

490p? Interesting... new mode :-)
There are many 720p games for XBox too. Can you point me to a 720p PS2 or GameCube games? Plus, I've only seen one 480i XBox game...

Well, backing into a stereotype: If she's that stupid, she might be hot! :-)
High Friggin Definition!
Wow... a Slashdot reader that doesn't buy new gadgets just because they're new... What's this world coming to?
I think you might qualify as Amish!

You can get dates a lot easier if you search for frequent misspellings, like "geke" or "63 42 63"... Not everyone's a spelling genius!
but a decent spanking will teach them a lesson
:)
If you could get Carmen Electra to dole out the punishment, I just might right a virus of my own!
Can I strap this thing to my taint to measure humidity? It gets pretty swampy down there on hot days...
Keep rational, stay polite, and make your points the civilised way. No need to descend to the level of either SCO or a worm hacker to do so.
Wait.... you're telling Slashdot readers to stop trolling and posting flamebait?... Wait... it gets better... You're asking Moderators to moderate correctly?
WTF have you been smoking? Gimme some NOW!

$10/day doesn't really cover many people's coffee habit! This isn't really going to help any guy out that was used to pulling in $50-100K..
I have always loved sailing ship books and movies
That could explain why you liked it so much, n'est-ce pas?
