If you think along these lines, acceptance of evolution also does not require you to abandon your beliefs in fairies, Santa claus, or the evil monkey in the closet
It's a perfect example of an infinite loop and a null pointer exception.
staic Creator getCreator()
{
static count = 0;
count++;
if(count == 10000)//Give up
return null;
if(m_creator == null)
return getCreator();//Only the creator can create
}
Hmmm...that doesn't seem right. I am using the Thinkpad X40 which has a pretty similar configuration to the X41 except that mine has just 1.2 GHz. This is easily the best machine I've used. Even though it is not meant for gaming, I can easily play Age of Mythology on it. I have been using this machine for a year now, and I it has been simply superb. I never have less than 10 windows open and it handles it just fine.
I use it to play AOE2 online as well as work on my CS stuff which involves a lot of simulations. I run eclipse on it and once it's loaded, it runs smoothly. Oh...and another thing...this is as light as you can get...just 2.5 pounds which means you can carry it around really easily. In fact the X41 is what I plan to get once I graduate and get a job.
Given the very similar configs of my machine and the X41, I'm pretty sure those will be able to do a lot more than just email and note taking.
I would love to do all these things ONLINE instead of locally, because being 'ONLINE' is so cool and I don't mind paying for bandwidth I may not need because I want to be 'ONLINE' on the 'INTERNET'.
Opera doesn't have the find as you type feature which is the only reason I switched from IE to mozilla in mozilla's early days; and later firefox. I was surprised to see no-one pointing this feature out in comparisons to firefox. Opera does seem a bit more polished than firefox though. I really like not having to use the mouse at all when browsing.
Hi, I am also a college student and I think the Dell Axim x30 has the best value for money. It has wireless, bluetooth, IR, and is cheaper than the iPaqs. Plus, it is pretty slim and light . However, it might be overkill if the only thing you want it for is to keep track of due dates.
As the review on Flexbeta points out, Google search is the default. I'm glad they did this as most(all ?) of the users will be doing this anyway.
Though this might change in the final release, if it doesn't, it'll be an open admission that Google is better, not that they don't acknowledge that now.
Some nutter in the middle east kills thousands of people - the solution involves killing thousands of people.This is just how things work now.
It's just disgusting to see how someone can say something like this. I'd like to think that human life is priceless, compared to stuff stolen and pirated online. Putting spam,piracy and human life in the same context is just ridiculous. And no, this not how the world works. If you meant the attack on Iraq by the US, then let me tell you that the US is not the world.
I am a Windows user and I don't hate Apple. I'm just curious to try out MacOSX as I have never used a Mac. I've tried out Linux and it's fine for learning a lot of things and I use it occasionally.
You can't (Or should not) hate something you haven't tried. That's just for zealots
I've always thought that a teacher who explains everything perfectly is not really good for the students. Let me clarify. In my 8th grade we were introduced to Geometry. This involved calculating the areas of various figures using PI. This teacher taught us how to do so.
She taught us the steps to all calculations perfectly. After that class, the dumbest kids could calculate the areas of figures. However, noone knew what PI actually was. All I kept thinking was why did I have to use this PI and where did its value come from ? I failed the next exam based on that.
Because the teacher taught the class step by step, the students knew exactly what to do. They didn't have to think Sometimes, a not so good teacher will leave out holes in a student's knowledge. This will force the student to think. I had another teacher in Algebra who was really absent minded and forgot quite a few of the steps. This meant I had to fill in those gaps in my knowledge by thinking. I found I learnt a lot more problem solving in Algebra than in Geometry.
So what I really want to say is that from the student's perspective the teacher who seems to teach very well may not be the best one.
Sorry, BSOD is a WINDOWS ONLY feature. Linux can not BSOD.. They say Linux can crash but that's only a rumor.
A rumor I can confirm. I've had my KDE desktop crash. I know that that's not the kernel, but still I presume that on average you would be using a window manager...Nice catch about the BSOD thing though.
I presume you've never connected it to the Internet?
No, I can post to Slashdot via magical thought waves. As a matter of fact I've been online for over 6 months usually an average of 12 hours a day. I have to shut it down for some time as it's a laptop.
Also, my point about the applications was that there are free apps on the Windows platform too. One example of a paint program would be GIMP.
I concede you do have to reboot on installations and patches.I've done all the updates and no,it's not a dozen reboots as you claim.In fact I can't remember rebooting more than once on a Windows update.I've worked at a Tech School District office where I have updated Windows all over a school.Number of reboots = 1.And another for Novell Netware.So maybe max 2.
Yes, I understand some people prefer Linux. I just wanted to point out that the reasons you give are not valid. Open source,free and no vendor lock-in are better reasons to do so.

That is incorrect. It should be u = ++monkey; :D

Because they are on top, and it's harder to stay on top than to get there. Not that I'm saying it's the way to be.

Shouldn't this be in the "It's funny, laugh" section?
ID should be taught in Computer Science:
//Give up
//Bad programming
//Null pointer exception
//Good programming

Yeah...this is dumb...just goes to show ID cannot be logically expressed

So, this guy is the norm ? What the hell does that even mean ?
Maybe you meant "For Cinergy Corp. CEO James E. Rogers, reading email from employees at home while nursing a vodka at 11 in the evening is the norm.

there are those who think the Earth is flat
The flat earth society is a humor site. They're not serious.
My first reaction was....well duh, then I read the article and it's pretty decent.
Guess which choice is remembered? Bets this "minor " bug will not big fixed till release?
According to this, Google is. But I'm sure that's what you meant...right ?

Please, take a basic physics class before you start telling people how it's not very difficult to get to orbit or the moon.
No, take a very advanced one.
