Well, honestly, it is up to you to use the information provided in a means where it suits you. Don;t you think it better to have more than enough information than an inadequate amount (assuming that the information provided is accurate)? This can apply to most anything.
While this article seems to state that doing anything passive task while driving impairs the drivers ability to drive at full capacity, I don't think it is as cut and dry as it is being made out to be. I know that I start to lose focus on the road when I am doing NOTHING ELSE but driving. The monotony just turns your brain off to the whole situation... which is why if for whatever reason I can't listen to the radio, I limit my driving to any place I can get to in 10 or so minutes.
Your whole rant was redundant. No one, even you, would throw your business and your key to lifelong wealth, in the toilet, simply on moral ground. I call it the "Jerry Springer Syndrome". It is easy to make fun of those on the stage until you are one of them
I will probably get crucified for this, but one of the new features seems to be support for VBA! While this may not appeal to folks creating NEW solutions, at least we got a stepping stone for supporting old solutions on a non-windows/office platform.

I think that Robert Downy can do a good job with the character
Sure. Who better to play an alcoholic than a real life alcoholic!
Remember that when there is a famine, and some big hillbilly beats you so he can get his bread before it runs out. Remember that when you are in a bar that catches fire and everyone tramples on you to make sure they aren't the ones burned alive. Remember that when a colleague pushes the blame on you to keep from getting themselves fired.
It is every man for themselves. Life isn't fair, so why should you be? Right?
This is about bettering mankind as a whole. Not "What the hell do I get out of it?"
There are circumstances where threads are completely inappropriate. Let's say that you were hoping to build an app, that eventually would scale across a single-image cluster farm (for those not in-the-know, this isn't a beowulf cluster, but rather a cluster that you would add a new "node" to, that would then be treated as part of the collective resources of the single "machine". See SSI). Unlike on your single machines, a thread can not practically be migrated to a new "processor" on a different node, because the entire process space would need to be copied when the migration happens. Not to mention, think about a thread changing information in its parent processes space. All of a sudden, you would need to stop the processing of any other threads with the same parent process, on different nodes, sync the memory, then signal them to continue. It would practically make the whole idea of performance clustering useless.
I can't reply to all of the same-content replies as yours, so I will reply to yours and hope it gets whatever attention it needs.
My reply was directed toward the following part of the parent:
IANAL, but if I've ever learned anything from Mock Trial in high school, it's that you never want to contradict what you say on the stand with what you've ever said publicly or under oath. See, it tends to give the impression that you're changing your story, and if the court doesn't know which one to think is true, they're just gonna ignore you.
Lying to people outside of the courtroom, aside from certain circumstances (defamation/slander/etc) is not against the law. You can tell the woman at the bar that your manhood is 15" long. You can tell your baseball coach that you have been practicing every day, all summer long. You can tell your friends that you had an orgy with 33 women this one time.
My point being is, Darl's testimony doesn't HAVE to reflect what he is saying under oath, so long as what he says under oath is the truth.
Seriously... When you are going to fester in prison for the rest of your life, things like Linux and filesystems become a whole lot less important. And by that, I mean, his time is better spent manipulating a toothbrush into a shank and creating new mechanisms for not dropping the soap.
Is it just me, or did that seem like an advertisement for a company and their product, moreso than there being anything of substance? It isn't like this is groundbreaking chemistry either.
As someone who has taken too many of these tests, the problem ends up being your mind gets bored with the whole exercise withing minutes... these test take hours. After about 10 minutes at MOST, your brain starts to wander. You can NOT focus on the test no matter how much mental effort you put into these. It simulates situations like driving a car where actions and attention become so repetitive that there is an autopilot mode that kicks in. Bit in the same regard it can't be applied logically to situations like being in a boxing ring, because in those circumstances your brain is constantly adjusting to vectors that can't possibly be predicted, therefor always being up to paying attention at the task at hand.
Apparently you have never had to deal with a heroin junky. Fact of the matter is, YOU want to throw out the notion that you can't judge a person based upon so little facts. Well let me tell you something. A heroin junky is a heroin junky. Their face and name doesn't matter, because they are all the same. Like it or not, that is how it is. Certain behaviors are fundamentally compulsive and dangerous, whether you think it is fair or not. Take a person who likes to play with fire (pyromaniac). Like it or not, at SOME POINT they are going to light something like a house or a forest on fire.
But why should someone who just fantasizes about sex with children be treated as a criminal?
Because BEST CASE is someone who doesn't act on their desires. That is the best case. Figure everyone is somewhere close to the middle of best/worse case scenario. That is the law of averages. Now think about that. Your next door neighbor loves fantasizing about sex with children, and you have a child. Said neighbor has the likelyhood of being somewhere in the middle between "Harmless man who likes fantasizing about children" and "Man who will chain your child up to a bed and rape them a million times over, after which, he beats the child to death with a baseball bat".
It is like a heroin junky fantasizing about heroin. In the BEST case, they won't ever use again... but we all know how often the best scenario unfolds
Really, if it is *that much* of a concern, quit buying from a third party vendor. License a spec, rent a manufacturing facility, put some people to work, and create your own Cisco Certified Uber Network Gear eXtreme, Uncle Sam Edition
they're now unambiguous about their position "We have absolutely no intention of blocking current versions of any browsers, including Apple's Safari, from our website."
It still sounds ambiguous to me. They could certainly mean "We will not target Safari by name, but we will just make you install a plugin that we know Safari can't use".
What he is saying is typical elitism disguised in a red cape. Imagine you had one of these guys in your IT department, and tired of the spam, he comes up with a ingenious way of filtering out a lot of the crap... a perl script that uses regex to validate that the email address in the from field before being delivered. His logic being "If the script rejects it, they must be shady anyway, so I don't even care". But an intelligent person can pick out the fallacy a mile away. If the script is makes wrong assumptions, or flat out wrong, you get perfectly legitimate people getting rejected, all because someone put up an artificial boundary that ultimately serves no functional purpose, because you aren't even addressing the problem... only a possible symptom.
That is what the guy is saying. Make the cost of a patent really high, because if people were able enough to come up with a patentable idea, they should already be successful enough to be ale to afford the cost.
How in in the bloody hell is the guy who invented a process of, say, turning rocks into edible food, who only can work part time at a McDonalds because he was hit by a drunk driver, going to affod $300k to patent it?
A steeper price is NOT the answer. As a matter of fact, all of a sudden, you pretty much just made it so only rich types CAN get a patent.
Actually, just wait. This is just mindless speculation, but don't you think it is interesting that VMWareboughtThinstall?
All of a sudden, you have an application that can emulate a whole machine, merging with something that can take an application an all its dependencies and wrap it into a single executable. Call me crazy, but I think you will start seeing a product where you can wrap your favorite app, along with an underlying supporting OS running on a virtual machine, to target any other OS you want.
As it has been said, close to all of the dreamcast's will work with just a CD-r.
That aside, most of these "dreamcast homebrewers" just port crap already ported to SDL and "port" it to the dreamcast. Not a lot of talent or imagination.
