IMHO the robot that transformed out of the guy's old yellow car at the beginning of the movie looked like a lot more metal than the car originally had in it. Maybe it's just an optical illusion because of "camera angle".
Unlike Windows, it didn't always expect to be rebooted after installing new software.
Unlike Windows, even Windows does not always expect to be rebooted after installing new software. Oh, he's using 7 year old software from Microsoft, forgot about that. Would be nice to note that statement is a very weak comparison in 2007/XP/Vista.
Please somebody defeat this non-issue with a black magic marker and have it permanently over with already. Making the claim they are the only basemost or root DRM scheme is absurd. Somebody simply has to crack it open once and then nobody will trust it against the claims originally made.
Terminator without Arnold is like bread without butter.
The latest Terminator trilogy might anchor their movie company but the ship can still sink and come to rest beside the anchor.
I got this great idea which might help revive the trilogy: why not set the last trilogy in time before the first set of movies and....
When the story is left to two people competing and trying to remember it casts doubt on both. When a computer remembers for one party it seems pretty solid except that the context might not be understood anymore. Archived data coming back to haunt you is less likely when pseudonyms are allowed (i.e. pretty much all of Slashdot) in which case you cannot directly (easily) link back to a real person. It's more of a problem in social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook where most often real names and identification are used. Of course protection features in those might help to curb the spread too.
I'm tired of voting machine stories. I don't think anybody is actually doing anything except providing lip service because it's deja vu all over again. I think the term "review" is open to review.
At some point in your presentation billg will say "that's the dumbest fucking idea I've heard since I've been at Microsoft."
Sounds like a/. story to me: one sentence extracted from time, the experience of one previous Microsoft employee. Maybe it was the dumbest idea and that's why the guy doesn't work there anymore, bitter as he might be.
You'd think they would have warned him by TELLING him. Sounds like they purposely were holding back the key point if he didn't find out until afterwards (is that how I should read it?). Maybe an office joke.
Regardless, Bill Gates doesn't sound so bad if he was okay with the presentation and agreed despite this fact.
Drop-down menus have been around so long because they work!
Actually, drop-down menus work because you got used to them and so did everybody else.
Heck, I remember my first time using a mouse when it became widely available. You obviously got past that one, although from your post I'm not sure if it wasn't without complaining:) Nothing is intuitive at first. It's been so long you've forgotten how to accept change to your computer programs that's all. You can choose to forget how to adapt to change and rail against everything new. Won't be the only one.
If they're going to bundle action games with these phones there had better be a roll cage accessory. Also a good way to sell more phones. Drop and shatter one, need another.
Agreed also. Upon re-reading, my apologies that my post might have appeared to insinuate you had stated something that I was arguing against. Quite the opposite. We're aligned. Even though I filed under your post I was talking in generalities towards the ether.
Would you want to be the teacher who saw this kid's essay
You're assuming (possibly out of fear) the essay contained something worthy of law enforcement. I am assuming the opposite. Wouldn't it be interesting to see the essay? We should post it here when it arrives...
It wasn't Cho's teachers or TAs or parents who shot a bunch of people, it was Cho. Put the blame where it belongs.
If it's proven that teacher overreacted out of fear then the blame is put on the teacher, not Cho. However I have no proof the essay was overreacted to. I just used it to expound upon a general shift of mindset that seems to be occurring amongst the US population and the world in general. As you'll see in another post here I've also stated it's a problem anywhere. This story just happens to be in context of the USA and so that's what we're focused on at the moment.
It can never be justified by pointing to another country and saying "Look, they're doing it." It's like children justifying their actions off one another. If we let that happen the daycare would soon go to hell. Same with countries. Europe must take care of the problem. The USA must take care of the problem. Canada must take care of the problem. (Insert country here) must take care of the problem. Because the context of this particular story occurs within the US, the statements are understandably pointed in that direction... this time.
You're right. It's just fun to post a simple code fragment in an attempt to make Diebold look foolish. You know, kick the man when he's down type of thing. It's not straight up but it's still a lot of fun.
The USA is becoming a state of fear, evidenced by such happenings. Fear causes the reactions to become more and more inappropriate. I really don't know whose fault it is or where it will end. The country that promotes freedom is losing it fast but it's hard to see from the inside. I assume at some point in the next 50 years the word "freedom" will have been completely redefined but it will have happened so slower that nobody knows.

Your post is idealistic instead of realistic. I don't that's any better of a situation to be in.

But are the computer algorithms also "pretty"?
Are they heavily "optimized"?
Or "lazy heuristic" algorithms?
Maybe they're inauspicious and pink

Meh. No problem waiting for the standard release date eh?
Well then it's a good thing you saved your insult until the last sentence. I read your complete post proving your right!

Kudos. That's the best explanation I've seen posted here yet.

A simple C# code fragment to serialize access to the Jet DB can go like this.

// NOTE: To Diebold -- Please copy and paste this into your application. Thank you.
public class DbWriter
{
private static object _sync = new object();
public static void WriteSomeData(/* args
{
lock(_sync) {

}
private DbWriter() {/* hidden ctor */}
}
// or VB.NET is just as easy
Shared Sub WriteSomeData() 'Args
SyncLock _sync
End SyncLock
End Sub
It's not tricky, you just have to be really really fast!
