    .NET hobbyist. Can't comment as I don't really understand what you mean. What is a ".NET hobbyist"?
    Sounds like a contradiction in terms.

    When that happens, will it make any kind of sound?

    ... and launches a light-seeking missile up the beam. I don't know if such a thing exists, but I guess you could make one on the same principle as a heat-seeker.

    Unsure whether to write "unusually hungry" or "hungrier than usual"... DOH!

    If you mean Windows should drop NTFS, purchase this, rebrand it and have it ready for Vista's release, than i think you're either trolling or a little naive.
    He might be naive for thinking that they will. But in thinking that they should, he's right. Because let's face it, NTFS sucks.

    Can robots running on AC power marry robots running on DC power?
    If you're alluding to what I think you are[1], it's more like: can robots running on a particular type of power marry robots running on the same power?

    And we could maybe add questions like: if some Robots think all robots were programmed by A-LA, some Robots are certain they were crafted by J0-V, and others analyse the data and conclude they were assembled by other robots as suggested by DAR-1, who is right? Is disassembling of those with an incorrect metaphysics chip/societal utilty integrator circuit justified?

    [1] If you're alluding to what I'm thinking the second time I read it, you're probably Welsh.

    Fine though it is, it doesn't explain if this toggling is done with hardware or software. If it's hardware, Programmer_Errant's comment seems bang on the mark.

  14. Re:This isn't a film for geeks. on WarGames Sequel Now Filming · · Score: 0
    I always liked WarGames for being reasonably more realistic than any other computer films I've seen.
    The absence of "This is unix, I know this" alone must be enough to assure mid-table slot in that regard.

    The second linked article - the closest to the statement I quoted, so presumably the one it refers to - has nothing do do with that kind of games at all. Did the submitter even read it?
