It isn't. In proper German, it translates to something like "das Bundesgesetz zu Computermissbrauch und -betrug und das kalifornische Computerdatenzugriffs- und -betrugsgesetz, unlauterer Wettbewerb, vorsätzliche und fahrlässige Beeinflussung von voraussichtlichem wirtschaftlichen Gewinn und zivile Verschwörung". Even with umlauts!
This format war may well be decided by titles rather than player sales.
Well, since Sony spoke out against publishing porn on Blu-Ray (after HD porn producer Digital Playground had announced to do so), my bet is that Blu-Ray will lose, simply because there won't be any porn. The availability of porn is important. It was a key factor why VHS won the format war against BetaMax, and why DVDs caught on so quickly.
I bet a lot of the amputations don't count because they were done in the military hospital or Ramstein... just like all dead soldiers. They don't get into the official statistics of US Americans who died in this war when they die outside of Iraq, e.g. in a plane during transportation to Europe, or in a US Army hospital in Europe.
He explicitly wrote that he meant it hypothetically.
In practice, it's easily possible to get rid of the DRM with iTunes itself, i.e. first burn to CD, then rip from CD, so these buttons are there, only with another caption...
On a more serious sidenote, MIDP was designed at a time when mobile devices were still pretty low level, and future development in user interfaces wasn't exactly planned in.
So while Celsius makes sense for some scientific purposes, I think Fahrenheit is where it's at for talking about weather.
You only think so because you're used to it. But when you learn to use Celsius from the beginning on, it's a matter of course to simply use it for everything, no matter whether it's science or the weather.
But it's still possible to put 3rd party software and ringtones onto these devices. After all, that's exactly what companies like Jamba/Jamster rely on.
Modern C++ provides a very nice and functional Standard Library which provides a lot of functionality and data structures such as strings, vectors, lists, maps, sets. While using these available classes does not completely rule out making programming mistakes related to buffer overflows and such, it at least minimizes the risk of producing stupid buffer overflow through badly done string handling. At least that's what my experience is.
Actually, the best thing would be not to use C or C++ at all, but that's where reality comes into play. Most developers don't even have the choice which language they should use, but that is predetermined by the employer and/or supervisor.
Did I say anything like that? All I can tell you is that it's no fun when you're walking down the street and suddenly get beaten up by a few police men and you only realize later that there's been a demo nearby. And when you try to fight that abuse with legal means, you have no chance because of the esprit de corps within the police. And that's the point where people usually stop trusting the police.

I worked briefly at a shop that used C and C++ for CGI. They were still struggling with memory errors in their in-house string libraries.
And they deserve it. Everyone who uses C++ but not the std::string class it comes with does so.
Hot grids down your pants!
If I had modpoints, I'd mod you "+1, Insightful". Thanks for that interesting information.

Uhm, no. "Irrlicht" means "Will-o'-the-wisp" in English.
You definitely take the wrong drugs.

If you don't want to fulfill every citizen's obligations, you can leave the country anytime. Or get over it, whiner.
Found your own country, or get over it, whiner.
Looking at most of the postings here, the contrary seems to be right.

You are teh funny.
Imagine a widget set without buttons!
You do have buttons. On your phone!

But the number of employers where you actually get a chance to use languages like Eiffel, Ada, Dylan, ... is very small.

No. The Gregorian calendar does not have a year zero.
Oh, WindowMaker. Such a cheap rip-off from NeXTstep.
Why calculate the last digit of pi? Simply ask Chuck Norris, he knows it. But you risk getting killed with a roundhouse kick.

The point is: if you had experienced how it is to be a victim of police brutality, you wouldn't trust the police anymore, either.
your problem is you haven't been beaten up enough by police men. If you had, you'd feel a bit different about that "thin blue line" wouldn't you.
