I fall into the general age demographic of MySpace (15 years old). If you ignore the sexual predators, fucked-beyond-belief CSS (that crashes everything but IE), and general rampant idiocy, it's not such a bad place to keep in touch with your friends!:^)

Maybe I'm just lucky, but I've never come across the most unspeakable of horrors that the media/Slashdotters seem fond of pointing about the site.
Yeah, I'm just lucky.
(yes, i have a profile, so at least i know what i'm talking about)
Uh no...rather, some daemons that run in native (kernel) mode (user32, gdi32) work with the GUI, but the actual kernel and related code (HAL, etc) couldn't give a shit about what's on top. This is how things like the Recovery Console work.
I solved that problem pretty easily - put it about 5 folders deep of "Certainly Not a Better Browser", "Look, Just Give Up, There's Nothing Of Interest", etc.
That coupled with the fact that my school district apparently has one, *maybe* two guys for all of the (4) schools, makes pretty much anything possible.
Umm...Apple kinda publicly announced back in June that they're switching to Intel...kinda hard to keep it a secret if they only told the developers, so they might as well just tell everyone...
You mean something like Microsoft's Visual Web Designer. Unfortunately, that still requires you to know some VB or C# to make stuff happen. Fortunately, you don't need to learn all the ASP controls, as VWD lets you drag controls onto a page and it generates the proper HTML. You only need code to associate actions to the controls, as opposed to also generating the controls like in PHP. Heck, it'll even play nice and make XHTML 1.1. Very handy stuff.
It has crappy Intel integrated graphics, roughly comparable to a GeForce 256 in terms of graphics chips made by real manufacturers. In other words, a piece of shit.
Well now, if you hadn't used a Mac since 1994, do you really expect to be able to sit down at one 11 years later and use it right away? Could someone that hadn't used since Windows since 1994 switch from 3.1 to XP that fast?
My home server (see URL in profile) is an old HP Pavilion 3100 running Slackware 10.1. Added a 20GB drive and a cheap PCI network card and it runs Apache/ProFTPd great. No GUI, if I did, it would be used as a secondary IM/browsing machine...which is bad, because the netcard is so cheap the NT3/4 drivers are broken and it seems to lock up with every graphical browser I throw at it.
On that note, never create a roaming account for a shared (i.e. 'guest') profile. The sysadmin (note the singular tense) at one of my former schools made that mistake. I recall waiting an entire class period (~45 min) just for it to log on because of all the damn cookies and history.
Needless to say, once I finally got in there, I cleaned the IE history and cookies...took a good half hour...
The kernel (XNU, a combination of Mach and BSD) is almost entirely C, drivers (I/O Kit) are in a subset of C++, userland is in C, high-level userland is in Objective-C++ (combination of Objective-C and C++, there's bound to be some plain old C for good measure).
From what I understand, the 360 actually uses a processor that's pretty close to a triple-core PowerPC 970. So no, no Cell royalties, just to IBM for the PowerPC processor. I think.

Would you prefer 1 Flash plugin or 4 seperate video plugins?

...that I'm ashamed Lieberman represents my state.
OS/2 could do that as far back as 1992.

...that read it as "UAC"?

I would guess it's a ground-up app designed to emulate the iPod interface. Not iTunes. Very different topics.

I met the guy that built that...unfortunately, it was in the air on the way to Macworld at the time, it must be really nice to use.
GP said he has an intel developer transition kit, and games run like crap on it. the integrated graphics chip is why.

...But Q2 only runs in software mode on the GP2X, good luck antialiasing in real time.

I think he's saying that if it isn't pretty clear what said block of code does within a few seconds, it needs to be commented.

Those bottom 6 steps should be all you need. SBC's recent modems (since at least June 2004 anyway) do PPPoE internally.

No, a Komic booK.

Only old people are Catholic in Korea.
Really, I would have thought his issues are smaller.
