From what I have read in many places on the net, NT kernel is "supposed" to be the best kernel designed. So if anything MSFT needs to change is probably their Win32 subsystem implementation, which has been claimed to be buggy (sorry no links), and is the main area where they maintain backward compatibility for all systems.
Not only permanence, eBooks suck in some ways. Agreed, they are a good way to save paper but what about making notes. I could buy a text book, make notes in the margins, underline important statements, doodle heart-shaped signs for the sexy English literature teacher or girl next to me, but one cannot do that using eBooks. If this is the way life is going to work now, I hope someone invents eMotion.
Some people are sensitive to Flash, and no these are not the Flash software creators or users like you, but the users of x86-64 processor machines who run a 64-bit Unix-based OS and a 64-bit default Firefox browser which does not run Flash, who have to jump through hoops to make Flash run if at all (and not those wimps who are so desperate to see flash that they run a 32-bit OS on their 64-bit system). The AC is right, why bother ? You can live in your comfortable 32-bit world for a couple more years pal, then all processors will be 64-bit and you will not find new 32-bit x86 machines anymore on the market.
Hi
Here is what you should read:
1. Options, Futures and Other Derivatives, by John C. Hull. (Excellent book, I have read it. Very technical.)
2. Macroeconomics by Andrew Abel & Ben Bernanke (I have this book, but haven't got time to read it. Ben Bernanke is some big shot now of Federal Reserve in USA).
3. Principles of Corporate Finance by Richard Brealey & Stewart Myers (have read some chapters of the book, but not the complete book. was recommended to me by a management student)
4. Wall Street Journal or equivalent for your country ( Stay current with the market).
I would like to give links from Amazon to the books, but you can search yourself.
The key thing is that you have to be well-read and aware of what is going on in your country, and in your country's markets. Political systems and nature do affect the markets, hence the book on Macroeconomics.
just curious...how many places do it d/m/y vs. m/d/y. I'd never seen the d/m/y thing till a couple of years ago....
Most places follow dd/mm/yy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DD-MM-YY>.
Only places with USA influence follow the mm/dd/yy format.
India for example uses dd/mm/yy.
And yes, if you did not know this until a couple of years ago, i am shocked. In India, they taught us this when we were kids in school.
you are citing very rare cases, and Godfather 2 was a part of an original book, so it is not really a sequel as opposed to being a part of a trilogy... anyway, there are always exceptions to my generalization. it is sad that you got hung up on those:)
It is simple, the art and passion which existed in making movies and entertaining people has been replaced by hunger for making money by thrusting whatever junk they create, called "art and entertainment", into people's throats. That is why some independent movies do well, not all but some, because only some people decide to make a movie because either they want to entertain people or just tell a story for the sake of telling a story and not "selling" a story. That is why sequels suck and will always suck.
India has always been a censoring country (although not as much as China). Usually, anything sexually obscene, or anything else considered highly controversial with the general population will be censored/banned (ie, movies such as 'Water').
You are totally right dude,... there is too much censorship of sexually explicit material/anything in India, so much that students and people like me work really really hard, so that we can come to USA and comfortably enjoy the entertainment agencies that are known as "strip clubs"...
According to wikipedia, smoking tobacco will lower your level of this chemical... for me though I'll take a new gadget over smoking.
But if you are smoking, everytime you will be smoking a new cigarette and will that be due to the neophilia ?
Actually I think if there was only one single being on this planet, there wouldn't be much conflict
Hmm... if that "single being" were a guy, would he die of excessive masturbation ? In effect, would masturbation become a weapon in disguise ? What would he masturbate about ?
That is because Dell realises that home computer users are the ones with the larger quantity of stupid questions than the small business owners. It makes sense to keep the home computer users questions to be directed to a call center which is cheaper to Dell considering that most questions have solutions that require just a reboot or checking if the network cable is plugged in or clicking on the right icon.
you will get enough pictures to satisfy the normal person. If you are not normal, then I am sure you know plenty of free porn sites.
A large number of people watch hardcore porn. I cannot give a statistic but I am willing to bet atleast 70% of the people in the world who have access to hardcore porn will watch it. Why is it that watching hardcore porn makes one "not normal" ?
As much as I dislike the use of credit cards, it is virtually impossible to buy anything over the internet without a credit card. Don't tell me to use PayPal, that is just another form of a credit card methodology.
The only thing that I buy from the net are books and electronic/computer parts and unfortunately there do not exist brick-&-mortar stores that sell these anymore. Best Buy, Radio Shack and its clones are an insult to an electronic/computer hardware hobbyist. So yes, life without a credit card is impossible if you have to buy stuff from the internet. When I was in India a few years back, there exist a few streets in Mumbai/Bombay and Bangalore which are lined with tons of shops which sell only electronic/computer hardware. Even though there are only one or two streets per city, that is enough. And there is a great deal of choice there. That is one thing that I miss in the USA. E-commerce has some drawbacks. For example, I want to buy a "Happy Hacking" keyboard, but I have to buy it over the internet. Now how does one expect someone to buy a keyboard without feeling it and checking if it suits you or not !!

Pity the Vista user ...
I will !

WTF are you going to use when you know damned well someone's going to try something?
That is when you do what GWB did, goto a school full of kids and tell them stories.
Yes, but does it contain 0xDEADBEEF?
And for those people who don't eat beef, it contains 0xF00D.

I saw the Big Empty, it was interesting, Darryl Hannah looked sexy but I did not understand the ending.

chimpanzees, our closest living relative
I am wondering if the word "pansy" came from "chimpanzee" or vice versa ?

It's a shame no one is working anything VMS or QNX-like though...
FreeVMS exists at http://freevms.free.fr/indexGB.html.

Hi The spelling of mosquito in English is "mosquito" and not "mosquitoe".
Actually I think if there was only one single being on this planet, there wouldn't be much conflict
Hmm... if that "single being" were a guy, would he die of excessive masturbation ? In effect, would masturbation become a weapon in disguise ? What would he masturbate about ?
I totally ignore the political section (worst /. idea ever).
Actually slashdot is my only source of political news... John Stewart and Colbert Report just add on to the information available here...
I rarely drink anything aside from water and white milk .....But then I'm a college student, so I guess I have a long road ahead of me.
Yes the next step would be breast milk....
Maybe Gonzales' daughter is trying to be one of the "hot Latinas" in the porn industry and he is trying to prevent that ;)
"What would you do if you found a coworker has been stealing office supplies?" (actual question)"
Ask him for permission to sleep with his wife at any time in return for allowing him to continue stealing office supplies !
