Article fails to distinguish between a reference and a file handle. Instead of opening a file handle, you can just use the object reference! But wait... how do you GET an object reference?
Can anyone elucidate?
I don't think the main problem with Vista is the multiple versions. Having different versions at different price-points is a legitimate form of price discrimination. It's just a slightly more advanced version of having to choose options with your automobile purchase.
Also if you think about it, the leading alternatives all force the user to make certain decisions on what features they get or not (linux).
Needs to be clarified is that this is 15 months he spent waiting for punishment, not 15 years. And the lenient sentencing is because he ultimately did not cause much damage.
That's missing the point. Should we force Microsoft to drop IE and work on Firefox instead? They'll bring lots of legacy features (actually I can't think of any useful ones) and in the end you won't have to force anyone to use Firefox.
Yea... Please install N different browsers with Windows. I didn't think all the default services took up enough system resources to begin with.
I don't know why they would try to force the user to have X browsers rather than allowing user to have equal opportunity to pick from any browser. This is the opposite of enforcing a competitive market - it's encouraging of a oligopolistic market.
RIAA's lawyers actually wrote this in the threat:
"Defendent's repeated failures to follow basic rules of procedure is making this case far more expensive and time consuming than it should be."
hmm... I'd almost say something like, Plaintiff's repeated contortions of basic rules of procedure is making multiple cases far more expensive and time consuming than it should be.
Doesn't younger people reproducing mean there are more generations? When people think of mutations, they generally think of the number of generations it takes to proliferate a trait, right?
uh sometimes people can't vocally speak? there's plenty of other reasons. bad reception, need quick back and forth between multiple people, feel like having a record, etc.
when you are trying to avoid a technology altogether because of stupid policy issues, you're in no way helping progress.
Yea that makes sense. Hey that gives me another great idea - why don't we mount turrets on every home to deter thieves and put cops in front of every home to force people to obey the law?
So the chassis is still rigid right? Imagine unintentional impacts with external objects. The skin was meant to be protection for the car and driver. Flying rocks, small animals while the car is parked, pranksters, and thieves of engine parts make this not work so well. As well psychologically the driver will feel less protected in this new concept of a fabric skin. Imagine if your house was made out of cardboard... On the other hand I always like making cars lighter. I can see this becoming the norm if all the kinks are worked out.
We have two dedicated point to point T1 lines running from Connecticut to New Jersey because connectivity is that important.
If we lost connectivity between those sites, productivity for the duration would go down probably 60%. If we lost connectivity for an extended period of time our customers would start complaining and probably our suppliers too.
If we lost connectivity to the internet, however, probably the only thing that'd be affected is communications to our international sites and our phone system. We'd switch back over to landlines for the employees and the people that really needed it would use their cell phones.
How many people are going to want to lock and unlock the laptop everytime they walk away? I know a lot of people barely want to do the WinXP windows+L everytime, much less lock and unlock with a remote control.
Yes if you download copyrighted music, you're commiting a crime. Maybe it shouldn't be a crime, but it's a crime all the same. Yours is a weak justification of why the RIAA might want to not keep this illegal, but for the moment it still is illegal and so making a stand in court will probably not do any good.
I think the point here is that RIAA's methods are objectionable. From what I've read about them, I get the impression the RIAA is like the secret police in the way it works. People should be making a stand outside courts - like boycotting or setting up organizations to oppose RIAA.
Many of my relatives have this habit of folding a blanket (or two) and stuff it neatly into a pillowcase. It feels more comfortable for them and is easier to wash.
Personally, I don't find this finding so important that I'd risk straining my neck on some lower-quality disposable pillows.
I'd use Java for whenever I have a project that's a little bit higher than simple but doesn't require high performance. To me, it's very useful in the right situations.
That can be seen as a tactic rather than a way of selling out. If she does indeed change it in that way, she'd:
1.) Get money for all her troubles.
2.) Give Penguin an ultimatum: change the book's title, live with their book's title as a porn site, or purchase/sue for katie.com.
She'd be turning it around into free advertising for herself. It's better than not doing much right now.
How do you know you got 4/5 on the test already? Also, everything about the case study should be in the Quick Reference packet that you get during the test.
I took it yesterday. It was extremely easy. I am actually in an AP Computer Science AB class, but I didn't really pay any attention at all this year: we students have computers in the classroom, and most of us just browse everyday. That said, you can see that I'm not exaggerating when I say that I studied a total of one Sunday before taking the AB test. The only material I used was the Barron's AP Comp. Sci. with Java.
As I had a cold (or allergies) yesterday, I didn't quite finish the first part of the exam. Even so, I still have confidence in getting a 5 on it.

I'd like to see, more than the sub itself, an in-depth discussion of the mechanism behind the dolphin's tail (the foam between carbon fiber).

Article states 15 "months", not years.

How many other times have we seen this pattern?

I think the point is they already designed a fabric.

Uh one day people are going to say, "in old country, you drive car!"

They'll reduce traffic a lot. Imagine Fifth Element... except there won't be as many cars.

Eh? I'm in Paramus right now. Maybe I'll go see what that building looks like :).
