I think the XEmacs approach would work out well. You download and install the base system, and then you either get the packages you want or install the sumo package with everything.
MPEG2 hardware has been around since the days of the original Pentiums...
I'm not positive about the MPEG4 specs, but the MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 specs were written so that they were implementable on the largest available single-chip ASIC process at the time.
In every embedded system I have worked on, we always dealt with time in UTC or ticks from a predefined epoch. Presenting local time to a human was always up to the system communicating with the embedded system, as was converting time to UTC or ticks for sending to the embedded system.
I'm not sure about blocking it, but at least on Windows, the Flash local shared objects are stored in C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player and have a file extension of.sol. It is rather easy to delete them. Remote shared objects are a different story, but I don't see how these are really different than server side scripting tricks using sessions (eg, use a php script to serve up an image, and start a session).
If a employer has a normal employee, then the company is responsible for a portion of the Medicare taxes. If the employee is a contractor (ie, no withholding taken and given a 1099-MISC), then the employee is responsible for paying these taxes. It is generally referred to as the self-employment tax.
I installed linux on my machine in late 1991 (I think it was version 0.11). At the time, 386bsd wasn't officially out yet; I think it came out in eary-mid 1992. Linux development was pretty rapid, especially during the first year, and 386bsd development was pretty slow.
I think this is the real reason why linux became so popular. By the time netbsd started getting off the ground, there was already a pretty large linux user base. If the timing and development pace of 386bsd had been different, things may have been different today.
What if VB is F/OSS? I don't think businesses would touch any more of it once MS stops supporting it.
Maybe not for new projects, but I think the problem has to do with maintainence and updates to deployed systems. Doing a full rewrite to support new semantics and/or libraries isn't always feasible.
I am a little sceptical as to how well this works. PC clocks are rather crappy and temperature sensitive. If you look at the ntp.drift file, you will see a diurnal pattern. Plus, I would suspect that if this technology became widespread, that someone would add some dither to adjtime() to throw it off.
You could also do something similar with the MC68000. I can't remember if it successors also had it.
Basically, there were two extra output pins on the address bus. One signified program or data access, and the other signified supervisory versus user. So, a clever engineer could four separate memory spaces. I am unaware of any products that used it, though.
I think that most people forget that the reason that i, j, k, etc. are used for loop counters is that unless otherwise declared, I..N default to INTEGER in FORTRAN. This convention just carried over as programmers migrated from FORTRAN to other languages and has been passed down through the ages.
There really is no one answer to this, as it depends on the compiler itself, and the target architecture. The only real way to be sure is to profile the code, and to study assembler output. Even then, modern CPUs are really complicated due to pipelining, multilevel cache, multiple execution units, etc. I try not to worry about micro-twiddling, and work on optimizations at a higher-level.
I believe they are all active devices. I recall a recent news story where all of the original EZ-Passes in the NE USA were failing because the batteries in them were dying.
Syamantec pretty much assume that if you are running SAV CE, than you use login scripts to push patches to machines. There is a section in the docs on the various flags to give the MSI for automated mode (eg, how to specify the group server).
Yeah. I really wish that O'Reilly would get back to its roots and publish book geared for advanced users (and not users who think they are advanced). Even the Definitive Guide pales in comparison to the coverage in the original X series, or the other early books.
Slashdot Mirror
I'm sure someone riding a buggalo will fly by soon and rescue it.
Can we moderate an entire story as "Flamebait"?
No, but people with mod points can refrain from moderating any posts in the story. It may not do much, but it's something.
It would seem to be a breeding ground of fighting, flaming, and trolling.
Seem? You obviously haven't read many of the Discussion pages for some of the more controversial (and even some of the mundane) topics.

Anyone want to go to the National Grammar Rodeo at the Sheraton Hotel in Canada?

Oops; brain fart. ntp.drift is the wrong place to look. You have to enable statistics loging in ntp.conf.

Didja ever wonder why SO MANY people have the Yahoo toolbar even though they don't use Yahoo?
I just installed Acrobat Reader 7 on one of our test machines yesterday. There was a rather obvious checkbox to select whether you want this or not.

AMD also makes FLASH devices, and they have for a long time. Given how many things have FLASH in them, I suspect that it is their cash cow.
I would prefer them to fix all of the potholes first...
