It's funny how been slashdotted causes opposite effects in sites and torrent links. I guess I would never be able to get a decent download speed for these drivers without a/. link...
When you minimize, the working set size is reduced. This causes pages to be swapped out to the pagefile
Nope. This way your hd would trash like hell every time you minimize a big program. Just imagine a program using 1GB ram being minimized in a notebook with a 4200 RPM hard drive...
Windows Memory Manager just set the flag V (for Valid) in the Page Table Entry (PTE) as zero, but the virtual/physical address association is still held. If you restore the window the Memory Manager will just restore the PTE flags and you're good to go. You can check the "Windows Internals" book or the Intel Manuals.
The Working Set (physical memory) size will drop, but the memory consumption (Private Bytes, Virtual Memory) will be the same. When a window is minimized, Windows mark the memory pages as candidates to be relocated in case of memory shortage. When you restore IE focus the Working Set size will return to the previous size.
Task Manager sucks, use Sysinternals' Process Explorer.
Not true in Brazil. People who works for the government get a very good paycheck. But he cannot be fired unless he commits a crime. So, why would you bother just because another "gringo" is asking for help with paperwork? It's quite funnier to keep playing solitary in your computer...
They forgot to make me sign the NDA

Google's Evil NDA

I had an interview with Google Brazil recently. They mentioned once a NDA, but never gave me.
What do slashdotters wanna know?:-)
Better but far from perfect. You can connect a laptop direct to the printer to discovery it's mac address and IP via the ARP broadcast. After get this info, change your laptop network config according and voila, you're online.
IMHO, System Programming, Information Security and Financial Systems are good areas to work, because you can focus in software. In Bio or Chem. you'll need to learn stuff not related to computers or CS stuff. It's good if you like to study different things, but I prefer to focus in software.
I work for a Stock Market with server side software. You can think otherwise, but the business rules for stock market are simple (if you stay away from Risk Software, where you will do lots of math). You will need to deal with multithreading, optimizations, sockets and logs, lots of logs (God Saves grep/awk/sed). They spend billions of dollars with technology, there will always be jobs for good programmers.
...but you also wouldn't want to use C++ or Perl to integrate Windows-only applications with Active Directory, either.
No, no, no. You will want to use C++ to integrate a Windows-only app with Active Directory. The main Windows API (Win32) is still C based, and the main Active Directory API (ADSI) is still C++/COM based.
You're just another stupid (like Bush) who doesn't know anything about other countries. You think, like other stupid people, that Africa has only poor blacks, that in Brazil you can find monkeys in the streets. Which country do you live? Do you have schools there?
the average income is about $100 US per month
This is the whole country average. Here in São Paulo State (São Paulo City is the third biggest city in the world, São Paulo State has the 17th GDP in the world) the life conditions are much better. I can't compare to USA or Europe since I've never been there (some friends says we live better here), but I can say a programmer here can live pretty well.
... since when a computer is shared between people it cannot be called "My Computer". The cyber café's box is not "My Computer".
Microsoft should check if there's more than one user registered in the machine and put an "Our Computer" label below the icon:-)

Nope. Firefox is a C++ application using Mozilla's XPCOM. XPCOM uses a reference count scheme to control memory lifetime.

Taunt me! Taunt me! Taunt me! Maybe I'll get a better karma!
Don't you know the Brazilian population is bigger than the number of the "always online" Google website visitors?
Google's social network http://www.orkut.com/ service is ASP.NET based, and quite slow and unstable - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orkut#Speed_and_Relia bility. I wonder why they don't move it to their Linux infrastructure. Maybe it's time.
According to http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?Pos tID=633584&SiteID=1, you're forced to use .NET, no C/C++ allowed.
Now they're forcing the amateurs to use .NET, since the pros don't do it.

They're Linux based and they earn lots of money
Now it's not about fooling anyone, it's about to loose an entire slashdot day with bullshit and treating us like idiots.
OSX should be written together, not OS X. The title can be read "First OS vs virus?". We know this battle is already lost.

Am I new here?
From Centrino Duo page:
"Ready for Windows XP Vista*
Support for the latest software when it arrives."
What the hell is "Windows XP Vista"? A new Linux distribution?
Simple, isn't it? I can't block ads from my TV, but I CAN block web page ads. I would block TV ads if I could...
the same way Scobliezer does! We're just a bunch of tech savvy and malicious crybabies anyway...

Do you remember "How to Kill Linux" and the article (I didn't found it) about Google preparing to launch an OS?
