While its no MCSD (which she does plan on doing) or MCSE , there was plenty of C# dev in it.
She has created basic Windows applications, such as a calculator and a sorting program, primarily in the C# programming language.
Ok, so when I was 9 (about half-way through being nine) I took a summer programming course and learned how to create a computer AI that played chess. A calculator and a sorting program will not be near enough to impress me.
If you're writing a letter to the editor of your local newspaper, which guide do you follow?
If it's engineering-related then there's a section on writing to a non-engineering audience, if I were a complaining parent (or something) then I wouldn't be writing to the local newspaper.
Hand out copies of Elements of Style to every single student.
You know what? I had to throw out almost every f***** thing I learned in high school english when they handed me the manual on how I now need to write.
Personally, I think the.xxx domain would be a great thing if they could get adult content sites to adopt it. I would like to see it as a requirement so that the.xxx extension could be blocked in inappropriate environments such as schools. I think adult sites should be able to keep their.com addresses, maybe even give them.xxx addresses for free, but require that all the actual content be stored on a.xxx address. Since the first page of their sites is usually an adult disclaimer anyway that disclaimer could be on the.com and then forward the user on to the.xxx.
They won't crash. They will use slower methods of moving and processing data.
If they use slower methods of moving and processing data and the program is poorly written then the difference in timing may cause it to crash, I've run into some programs that the timing change caused by outputing debug information causes crashes where they weren't before (right now I'm actually working on fixing one).
I was pretty impressed that my net connection was running perfectly the whole time and various news sites seemed to be coping.
That's probably because the internet was designed as the military's version of a secure communications network for emergencies. The reason it's called "the web" is because when you look at a map of the redundant links it looks like a spider web. I wouldn't be surpised if incidents like this will encourage more use of VoIP since it can take advantage of these attributes of the internet.
They are lazy programmers who know they won't sell many extra motherboards if they do include the extra ability.
Personally, I think it's a feature - my ASUS motherboard supports flashing the BIOS from a floppy when the primary BIOS is corrupted. It has some sort of recovery feature described in the manual for restoring the BIOS from a floppy when the machine won't come up PERIOD, let alone allow you into Windows (not that I use Windows anymore anyway).
How come there are so many more old people in Japan as compared to the US?
I think the bigger question is: Why do they feel that they're going to need more security guards to protect possession/people from old people? Unless the robots are designed to sacrifice themselves to crazy old people driving through buildings I don't think they'd do any good.
Therefore, while I would like to believe that what Linus says is true, I sincerely doubt it will happen, at least not in the forseeable future.
I would say that it'll happen about when/if Longhorn is released, MS already has difficulty competing with itself from the XP/2000 switch - it's just going to get worse with Longhorn.
If you read the article (Wiki) you'd see that Monad does too, it just automatically converts them before passing them off to the program (like PHP does with all of its variables). We'll have to wait and see if their approach is any good - there's a lot of flexibility in grep and awk that I don't see MS duplicating to occur automagically.
Hey, some of us actually do read the article you know:) They should really provide a link to your blog in the blurb so people can get the facts straight.
ATI cards don't work very well under linux, my understanding is that the new SLI NVIDIA cards can support something like 3-4 monitors. You'd probably need to setup Xorg/XFree86 to something like:
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0, CRT-1, CRT-2"
The drivers just got Xinerama support but my guess is that it'd still work.
I think there are a lot of clueless or bad sys admin who use "everyone knows Windows" is insecure to cover their asses for doing a bad job.
I used that excuse (and that our server was too overloaded) to switch our mail and VPN to Linux. I also used that excuse to get antivirus software and Mozilla Firefox installed on every machine. Guess what? It works and we have way less problems than we had before. No matter how much you lock Windows down (which is not always an option BTW, you're the employee not the boss) there are still security issues in Windows software that can blow you out of the water.
Yeah, so Google only does searching (pretty much) - what is wrong with that? They do a damn good job of it and so far no-one has been able to beat them because they continue to come up with better and better techniques to stay on top. I wouldn't be surprised if Google starts shoring up its other services but as long as they keep their search engine the best people will continue to come back.
What's wrong with xpdf? I am sure it loads a heck of a lot faster.
Adobe's reader is more compatible and (at least for me) loads just as fast as xpdf. I was actually surprised it loaded so fast, though it's not compatible with SELinux - you need to change the context on the *.api plugin files and the ADMPlugin.apl file using "chcon -t shlib_t file_to_change_context" before you can run the reader.
Some applications use a "Web style UI", such as Quicken. This uses HTML rendering in the application, but it's not an actual web page. This simplifies their UI development model a great deal and allows the UI to be created declaritively.
I would call this the "wrong way" to do things for a variety of reasons (introducing insecurities being a big one), GTK+, Gecko, or even MS's Visual Studio Resource Editor simplifies UI development. You use tools that are designed to do what you're looking for, if you're designing a web application then by all means use a browser and all the tools associated with it but if you're making non-web-oriented applications then using IE for rendering does not make any sense in my opinion.
But the same is true of a core Unix library, like libc. It's exposed to data from wild sources, like DNS records in gethostbyname(), and yet it doesn't seem to have the same history. Similarly, the KDE GUI libs and libkhtml (for example -- or the equivalent Gnome ones) perform the many of same functions as IE's DLLs, without anything like as many security holes.
And Unix libraries are far more useful, what do you REALLY need to embed IE in your program for when you can just launch the default browser? What's really useful is stuff like libcurl that allows you to download files off of the web without having to go through the hassle of a browser.
I'm sure someone will try to point out that Word won't play embedded media clips even if alternative media players are installed. Seems logical to me, when embedding a media file in a proprietary document format it likely requires Media Player to play it.
It's "supposed" to be embedded so that the MIME identifier loads the appropriate program, you could probably get around this "sabotage" by embedding an OLE object that uses RealPlayer or Quicktime instead. It's probably not really Word people care about but PowerPoint, I can't really see a use for embeded movies in Word but PowerPoint you see it all the time.
Surprisingly enough, they have not scanned the Holy Bible yet. You think with it being the #1 best selling book of al time they would have, but I guess not.

So does that mean the parrot has you beat since he understands the concept of zero and you don't?

Too bad if it's just a symptom of the problem(s) just not being fixed yet...

elinks fixed issues like this ages ago

I doubt there will be a left-handed model.
Ummm, it's a tablet - flip it over and tell X11 to rotate the screen 180 degrees.
may just be a one-hit wonder

I mean....um....You ARE stealing...because...you...paid...for...
So since I buy cable AND the Internet from Comcast I can 'steal' anything I want? SWEET!
But the real question is, will they provide support for Linux since they're offering a "complete solution"?
The major free Linux/BSD distros need to have subprojects focused on specific needs. For example, there should be a "Debian/Firewall" sub-distro.
If you install Fedora Core 4 there is a "Firewall/Router" option, maybe you should try that.
