No, he's not talking about QA, as in testing, but QA, Quality Assurance, the business practice...
It basically comes down to having a procedure for everything.
You can be a QA accredited company, and churn out as much crap code as you like, as long as you have a procedure that states that's what you're supposed to do.
Of course, whether or not you have any customers is another matter....
Besides....the fire didn't start at the observatory...the bushfires have been burning for well over a week, it's just that the conditions on saturday were such that the fires ripped through the forrest, and then the city....and Mt Stromlo was in it's path.
Actually, settling for second best is usualy the best thing to do....
you don't notice the perfomance difference, but you do notice the price difference...
Though a 4200 is not really second best....more like 4th or 5th best...

No, it IMPLEMENTS the Win32 API.
How the hell do you emulate an API? Either you provide the functions or you dont
The difference is, an emulator emulates actual hardware in software, Wine runs directly on the hardware, and just implements win32 so that Windows programs can run.
Wine -> Implements Win32 API on Linux, all code run directly on hardware - requires x86 machine to run it on. Due to the Win32 API being badly documented, tends to have compatibility problems.
VMWare -> virualizes the hardware, ie. creates a whole new virtual x86 machine in which code runs directly on the hardware. Some things emulated due to being impossible or difficult to share between the host and guest operating system. Requires x86 machine to run it on, but is generally very compatible, and allows you to install (in theory) any x86 operating system.
Bochs -> Complete emulation of every aspect of an x86 machine, all code running within a Bochs machine is interpreted by software. Will be very slow, but can run on many different platforms and processors, and should be pretty much as compatible as VMWare. Will allow installing any x86 operating system.
Flex86 -> An open source VMWare clone, shares some code with Bochs, will have all the advantages of VMWare, and has source too. Still in development though....
You have either fairly linear adventure style games, with combat and skills thrown in (eg Final Fantasy), or you have hack and slash levelup games like Diablo.
Neverwinter Nights is actually one of the better RPG attempts I've seen...
And as for the toolset, If you don't expect to speend hundreds of hours developing a campaign, whether it be for NWN, or paper, then you're fooling yourself.
Since our company is >50% owned by Kodak Asia Pacific, we always get a single roll of film, every year.
Except 1999, when we got a disposable camera - to take pictures of any New year's eve cellebratations we might be part of(yay Kodak)
We also usally get a profit share bonus either just before or just after Christmas, which is dependant on the board approving it, and on company and branch perfomance (50% based on company perfomance, 25 % based on branch profit target, 25 % based on branch customer satisfaction). We all know in advance if it's going to happen, so there's not any nasty suprise when it doesn't (but still disapointment of course).
> "Evil," says Google CEO Eric Schmidt, "is what Sergey says is evil."
This is, ultimately how it should be for everyone..
we can get a certain amount of our morality from our parents, from society, and from religion (if applicable), but at the end of the day, we need to make our own decisions in regards to our own perception of good and evil.
There is no one definition of evil, and it will vary from person to person and society to society.
If you feel that Google's interpretation of evil doesn't match yours, then you're certainly entitled to find a site that does match your morality more closely. But to urge others to do the same, is trying to push your morality on to them, which is the same thing you just objected to. Let each person make their own decisions.
By the way, I, like the author of another reply,disagree with your assumption that lack of religion means a lack of morality... In fact, I tend to be more wary of those with a morailty strongly affected by religion, as they are more likely to be blindly accepting someone else's (possibly outdated, or inappropriate to me) values.
Personally, I'll still be using Google, since their definition of evil is compatible with mine so far, and as long as they keep a policy of disclosing what they define as unacceptable, so that we can continue to make our own minds up.
use "dpkg --get-selections" and redirect the output to a file. Then find the line for inn2 and change the status to purge. now cat the file back through "dpkg --set-selections"
Dell seems to be the best for Hi res screens...others may do them, but only on the extreme high end desktop replacement models, and even then they screw you in the video department...
Party A pays Party B for the right to make the commodity availabe for free to anyone. Party C and D both have free access to the commodity, but Party B charges a fee to Party C for letting Party D share the free access that Party D could already get for free.
The number one rule when developing ANY client / server application, in which security matters at all, is DO NOT TRUST THE CLIENT. And that most certainly goes for the user using the client too.
Microsoft (and Sony for that matter) not trusting the user is just good practice.
Not trusting Sony in return is also good practice, so take your own security measures...and run the game as an untrusted user on your system.. That way you know it can't kill anything not running as that user.
well it doesn't have much to do with billboards in sacramento, or detecting radio recievers does it?
Especially when the guy was not trolling (regardless of whatever history he may or may not have), he was posting a calm, informative on topic response...
If you need to reboot, it's the operating system's fault.
When an application crashes or freezes, you should be able to kill it off without affecting anything else. If that's not the case, then either your shell (which is usually explorer, which MS considers to be part of the OS) has problems, or your OS has problems.

Since when was a static IP address a right? I think that before you could decide that everyone had a right to a static IP address, you should count the people in the world, and the total number of possible IPv4 IP Addresses.
I think it's more like it's everyone's responsibility to not use a static IP unless they really need it, at least until IPv6 is the standard on the net.. Of course, by then, we will have suffered an ice age, been blasted with raidiation from having the magnetic poles disapear, and watched civilization collapse due to the Y10k problem....so static IP addresses probably wont be top on everyone's mind...

/me looks at fatasy and metal collection...
you mean there's something wrong with that?!?
hnmmmm...are you sure of that?...
all the news articles and weather reports I saw, said 'High 30s'
45 would be worthy of note anwhere in Australia....
That article does not make any such claim...
Besides....the fire didn't start at the observatory...the bushfires have been burning for well over a week, it's just that the conditions on saturday were such that the fires ripped through the forrest, and then the city....and Mt Stromlo was in it's path.
I'm in Charnwood...a little closer...but still fairly safe....
Didn't stop us from filling the car with all our CDs, DVDs and games though....
hmmm....lets see...laptop from work....Nvidia chipset.
Cheapie DELL (don't know about Gateway).....NVidia card....
I'm not sure I see the problem....
And since when did hardware accelerated OpenGL automatically mean NVidia anyway?
It's the rendering engine and JavaScript support that's open source...
you get can the source at anoncvs.kde.org

Just out of interest, why 1550?
What happened then to change things?
You've never played a PC "RPG" before, have you?
They've _never_ been close to true roleplaying...

now cat the file back through "dpkg --set-selections"
That's marked the package for purging.
now dpkg -P inn2 should work.

No, usualy, Microsoft users hate Microsoft, but use it anyway....
The number one rule when developing ANY client / server application, in which security matters at all, is DO NOT TRUST THE CLIENT. And that most certainly goes for the user using the client too.

Not trusting Sony in return is also good practice, so take your own security measures...and run the game as an untrusted user on your system..
That way you know it can't kill anything not running as that user.
Now read that source code....I think you'll find there's a source wrapper that links to prebuilt binary modules...
How is it that anyone can possibly get then and than mixed up, when they mean such totaly different things, and sound so totaly different?
I don't think I can take much more......
well it doesn't have much to do with billboards in sacramento, or detecting radio recievers does it?
Especially when the guy was not trolling (regardless of whatever history he may or may not have), he was posting a calm, informative on topic response...
Actually, it's considered a status symbol to have a convict in your family....
Genealogy in Australia is basically all about finding some way of connecting your family to a first fleet convict.
If you need to reboot, it's the operating system's fault.
When an application crashes or freezes, you should be able to kill it off without affecting anything else. If that's not the case, then either your shell (which is usually explorer, which MS considers to be part of the OS) has problems, or your OS has problems.
