Of course, if they use computer programs to play poker, it becomes a simple game of statistical chance, and a simple table of odds (or few weeks of watching celebrity poker on TV) will provide you with the statistics needed to program the "ideal" bot. Unless you think you can program a bot to read another bot's tells, which presupposes the other players create less than ideal bots in a manner which your bot can detect.
Actually, Eisner made his billions turning Disney around from the washed up, has been studio we're hearing about today, to the blockbuster animated feature producer and massive media corporation it has become. Just before Michael Eisner took over Disney, articles and attitudes like this were common. He turned it around by reintrucing the Disney Sunday Movie as well as several non-animated television shows and movies, revitalizing the theme parks, re-releasing Disney classics, re-establishing the Disney brand as wholesome, quality entertainment, launching the Disney Channel on cable, purchasing ABC, and releasing the string of Disney hits from the Little Mermaid to Aladdin. Eisner quit/retired/was forced out of Disney recently. About the time people started complaining about Disney's image, quality, focus, and value.

okay, make a list of all the PHP functions whose parameter order or phrasing causes your brain to overheat, and then tell me whether you prefer camelcase or underscores, and I'll have the perfect language for you by tomorrow. Only you'll have to ignore all the extra functions that may duplicate the functionality of others, if you want there to be OWWTDI.
Seriously, if your only (cribbed) gripe with PHP is that perl has regular expressions built into the language syntax, and PHP uses functions, some of which may seem redundant) that's high praise indeed.
Most people buy Macs for the case. While windows doesn't especially target the brushed-alunminum-and-neon-lights crowd, they certainly don't discourage them. They will especially go for the folks that like translucent pastel toasters or lampshades with keyboards crowd. Apple becomes just another PC component assembler as far as Microsoft is concerned. Just like not everyone who buys a Dell puts Windows on it.
didn't you see the benchmarks a couple days ago? XServe does not target the enterprise. It is for hobbyists or low volume test machines, as long as it runs Mac OS X. It's at least 10 times slower than comparable hardware (at half price) running Linux or Windows.
From "XP Home" to "XP Hrome" is 3 bytes changed (assuming no string terminator) and 1 added. You've a total of 10 byte changes and 4 new bytes. Good job.
Hidden conditions are illegal in a contract, as are unnegotiable terms, changing terms, terms that violated enunicated rights, and just about everything else in an EULA. Hence, an EULA is not a legal contract.
The first eight or so pages were comparing the hardware itself. Only the last couple showed that what appeared to be only a minor difference in CPU performance turned out to be irrelevant because of the OS.
The point of a micro-kernel is to make things simpler at a cost to performance. Not sure what the point of FreeBSD over a microkernel is, but regardless it turned out (circa 1991 if I remember Tanenbaum's postinh correctly) that a microkernel ended not being any simpler, and actually was less stable as well as slower.
when I saw they were going to benchmark Apache. Maybe they used Gigabyte ethernet, but otherwise, there's nothing interesting in the comparision with a 486.
Wasn't there an article a couple months ago about how Redhat had seen the error of their ways by splitting of Fedora and had decided to bring it back within the fold, though the specifics of whether they were going to rebrand Fedora as Redhat personal or whether they were going to keep the RHEL codebase inline with the Fedora Core were undetermined.
Shares in sun at a 17% discount with no commisssion might be a good investment. Or it might not. But you might be happy holding onto it for 3-5 years if it's not a cash buyout.
Actually, gas attacks were practically never used in World War 2. Their total devistation is what led to the chemical weapons ban that has lasted to this day which helped to make Saddam Hussein such a stigma and feared threat.
Well, 5x more capable sounds about right. Maybe only 2x as stable for most uses, and barely more than half as stable for edge cases. We'll call it a draw. While windows does currently run on more architectures, most people are not liable to care about more than 32 bit x86 and it's standard peripherals.
I think he was saying, that he doesn't believe you're a real potential customer any more than you believe he really has the product and that even if you were, he wouldn't want to sell it to you anyway, not with your attitude.
If the mystery project exists, he has the code and so do his customers. Either one of them can, but is not required to give you a copy of the source code.
And I'll call your bluff. Tell your FSF-appointed attorney that I say the most libelous thing about him he can think of, so he is free to sue me.
(ps. the bit about your attorney translates into calling 'bullshit' that you've ever met an attorney, or could contact one without consulting a phone book.)
"Common Dreams", the source you cite, is a euphamism for the "Common Dream" shared by Muslim terrorists and radical leftists. Factor it out, the shared denominator isn't 42. It isn't medical marijuana, and it isn't getting "under God" stricken from the Pledge of Allegiance.

It's awfullly stupid to name a Lion "Kimba" since "Simba" is Swahili for Lion.
He's completely wrong, though, even if his movies are better than Disneys.
really. All you need to do is throw a bytecount on the end of and md5sum and it's impregnable again.
You can set the order in your php.ini:
variables_order = "EGPCS"
Where
E = Environment
G = Get
P = Post
C = Cookie
S = Session

Linus did most of his work on a 386 over a 14.4k dialup modem.

bingo!
Good strategy. Buy high and sell low.
sparc? Looks like they're doing just that.
