Maybe firewire or something like it should be the alternative. If there is a royalty penalty for each USB port or device there may be a point where some motherboard manufacturers offer usb as an option.
My biggest concern is the ability for Fortran to co-exist with other languages, specifically C. I would like to use Fortran for the things it does well and be able to combine it with my C code for the things C does well. Unfortunately, the compilers are not always compatible. I wish this would be addressed better in the future.
I took this for another reality makeover show which compared different living rooms and chose a winner. I have been looking to update my living room, I just misunderstood the "candidate" part.
There are many open source projects. Some are quite secure and others aren't. Some of the insecure ones are projects that a few programmers are doing in their spare time for for their own enjoyment or to share ideas they have had. People are usually warned if a project is stable or not, maybe we should have a security warning as well. That way people won't assume that the project is secure. Ok we have been warned.
The plot is closer to the questions asked by Blade Runner than I, Robot (or the stories from which they came). If you look at the reviews that really matter, that is the reviewers that "get it" it is definitely worth seeing. I have already gotten emails telling me how sweet the visuals are. I guess you can take off points for the subtitles, but the whole experience in a good theater is amazing.
If you even care about the problem you meet the first cut. The second problem seperates the "men from the boys." Yes, you can cheat but what does that buy you?
I would like to see better support for two operating systems on the same box. I have to use Microsoft products for work, but I would prefer some flavor of linux for personal use. However, XP and linux (as well as GNOME) don't want to coexist on my PC even when I put them on seperate drives. This is partly a windows problem, but linux is at fault too. I admit that most people don't need this capability, but it shouldn't be so hard for the average user to do.
Does Doom 3 run under GNOME?
Sony is in a much better position now than they were during the beta/VHS wars. They lost that one because they were much smaller and alone. They now have allies, the playstation is around and Sony owns more music and movies than they did. People are now are used to multiformat players and recorders. I think the trend will continue. Remember beta was a different size and shape, we are dealing with basically the same media with a different format.
That being said, I agree that some of these monopolistic trends are bad for the industry. I wonder what format Microsoft will choose for the Xbox 2.
All those popups, activex, javascript etc which take advantage of the lack of security don't work on mozilla unless you turn all the security features off. Most shops don't even test against Netscape anymore just IE.
I am tired of the C language bashing. If a programmer is diligent in coding and tests the code thoroughly, then there are fewer bugs. "A poor workman blames his tools." Programming in C is not for sissies. The problem is the same fool can really screw up a C program but only moderately mess up a java program. Lesson: Have the fools program in java.
Will the major corporations begin carving out territory now like the major governments did at the turn of the 20th century? We used Chinese labor to build our railroads and dig our mines, the only difference here is we are treating the workers slightly better. Many of these projects are not taking jobs away from Americans and will benefit the Chinese in the long run. I'm sure they'll do a good job.
Wasn't one of the first UNIX programs "fortune"?
The social, commercial and political usefulness of this technology is worth billions. Will this lead to be the end of word processing by keyboard?
Dr. Evil: "Here's the plan. We get the warhead, and we hold the world ransomed for.....One MILLION DOLLARS!!"
No.2: "Ahem...Well, don't you think we should maybe ask for *more* than a million dollars? A million dollars isn't exactly a lot of money these days. Virtucon alone makes over nine billion dollars a year!"
Am I the only one who finds all these repetitive midi tracks annoying? Has anyone ever gotten a Grammy for a videogame soundtrack? Well I must admit most of them are better than the Britany Spears and clones music.
Unfortunately, AIX has too many proprietary IBM extensions we don't want in Linux. More importantly, can it run DB2 or WSAD? Of course, it would be nice to hook it up to an iPod.

They seem to be commercially. Bring back the fun. Chocobos rule!

For his next spoof. Will the Speilberg movie be title "Band of Martians"?

* Host interface baud rates from 1200 to 230400 bps. OK no barn burner. For what it does it is impressive enough.
This could be the only way they could get it.

Oh you mean the "language".
No reference to "Sue me, sue you blues" -G Harrison ?
But Kirk's son David is still dead. What is the solution for static Klingon?

I always want to run Lotus Notes after I play Halo
My governors daughter is soooooo UGGGGLLLY. You can have her.
I think it is all the bad music and talk shows being broadcast for the past 10-15 years. That would hold anyone back.
Would that be an Allis Chalmers or an International Harvester?
