Microsoft.NET is a set of software technologies for connecting information, people, systems, and devices. This new generation of technology is based on Web services—small building-block applications that can connect to each other as well as to other, larger applications over the Internet.
Have you tried deleting iexplorer.exe?
And for all of MS's obviously unfair business practices, none of them caused user apathy or ignorance. Rather, user apathy/ignorance enabled MS's unfair practices. The choices are there. It's not up to Microsoft to force people to take advantage of them.
Though the virtues of coffee drinking may have been debated in the past, now there appear to be new reasons to rejoice over java. More and more studies have linked coffee consumption to a number of health benefits, including a reduced risk of diabetes, Parkinson's disease, gallstones, colon cancer and potentially heart disease.
"Coffee has much more in it than caffeine," said Dr. PeMartin, director of the Vanderbilt University's Institute for Coffee Studies, which conducts medical research on coffee and is funded by a grant from a consortium of coffee-producing countries. "It's a very complex beverage that contains hundreds of compounds, including many with antioxidant effects."
Though the tea industry has been touting its antioxidants, turns out coffee may contain even more--specifically polyphenols. One of the most potent antioxidants in coffee is called chlorogenic acid, which is partially responsible for the coffee flavor. Some reports estimate that more than 850 compounds are packed inside the humble bean.
True, but current (computer-based) AV relies mainly on passive defense. Since people cannot conveniently be hermetically isolated from the world, an organic, human-based AV would have to probably be based on counter-agents that actively seek and destroy the harmful agents.
I was responding to parents statement that "anything that we design that is made of protein could be countered by our immune response." Pointing out HIV (or some engineered strain thereof) could not be countered by our immune response.
Really gives "anti-virus protection" a more sinister meaning.
Hopefully the white hats can produce counter-agents as fast as the black hats can make harmful strains.
That's the point of FireFox. Think of it this way: Mozilla gives you the whole package, whether you want/need it or not. Firefox gives you the bare-bones essentials, then lets you add only what you need/want, ala carte. Analogize with Linux distros.
The only weak point is that many people don't realize that they need/want a certain feature until they use it by accident and fall in love with it.
I don't think it was so much a tease as a visual cue that the main story arc was in fact complete. Everything that followed was basically an epilogue. It might have been a little clearer if they had a caption that said "EPILOGUE" or some such, but that would make it no tease at all.
Patents require you to publicly disclose the specs. In fact, you can download them for free from the USPTO website. The "problem" with patents is not that they are secret, it is that they grant monopoly power.
Scotty left it behind when he visited San Fancisco in 1986, where he deployed it out of necessity after becoming frustrated by contemporary computer capabilies. It remained confined to a small materials lab for some time, out of respect for the Prime Directive, but soon "escaped" when pre-warp society was threatened by suspicious borg-like activity.
actually, my biggest two annoyances with VB
I think I can help you!
First: There are separate operators for short-circuiting arguments (there are some cases where you don't want to short-circuit arguments). These are
ANDALSO
and
ELSEIF
Use these to get the behavior you are looking for. So, for example,
IF DBNull.Equals(myvar) ORELSE myvar=Nothing ORELSE myvar.ToString()=""
VB.NET is C#, just with different syntax. VB6 was what it was, which was indeed crap compared to a "real" language. But it's dead. VB.NET is just as legitimate as C#, and it's more human-readable, too. So please, spare us your condescension. It's unbecoming.
Using the Net.Sockets library, specifically the TCPClient base class, you could probably write the code to do FTP transactions in about ten lines. Consuming an http page, probably five lines.
"So you can't write Linux apps on it"
This is incorrect. I have personally written a VB.NET console app, compiled it, and run the compiled app on a Linux box using MONO. It worked beautifully, and I could even use ANSI codes!
There will always be a two-party system because we have essentially a first-past-the-post election system. The result is that on political dimensions people care about the most, both parties will try to appeal to the median voter. Since the only way to capture the median voter is by appealing to the largest pool of voters, it provides a strong incentive toward moderation. This does not seem to be such a terrible way to run a democracy.

It simply isn't fair to blame Microsoft for the ignorance of their users.
Sure, if you can fit one of these in your back yard.
Maybe he read about the benefits...
Coffee is good!

You mean like the HIV?

This extenstion should do what you are looking for.

The thing you described is a minidisc player.

Second: There is an inline equivalent. It is

The best way to influence the PTO is probably through Congress.
Gee, mine's still powered my gasoline.

You forgot about the O Ring. I hear NASA is trying to cover it up.

Even in VB!
VB.NET is a world apart from VB5/6. The are no real differences between the capabilities of C# and VB.NET. The only real differences are syntactical.
