Same here, years of nothing then suddenly, fresh modpoints I've done nothing out of the ordinary. This is my first post in years. I think they've simply updated the code that calculates the distribution.
Kendo (a pretty good source for sword wielding) is practiced with the right hand above the left hand on the handle, regardless of whether you're left- or right handed.
This is the way it's been taught for ages and it seems to work pretty darn well.
Because owning a computer doesn't give you any inherent rights to anything.
Why would owning a generic piece of hardware entitle you to anything Nintendo at all?
And, perhaps most importantly, because the software owners say so.
What do you mean "Microsoft isn't exactly known for backwards compatibility." I'd say that's one of the things they are extremely known for.
Usually, people complain about MS not ditching backwards compatibility in favor of "cleaner" implementations and here you are, saying that they are well known for doing exactly that.
And "anywhere else" in this case is defined as "anywhere else in the U.S."?
You know, there are places that might have different homesteading laws, which makes it a moot point. Which homesteading law should you implement? Canadian? Australian? German? Chinese?
This has got to be special. A story that needs no mirroring or posts with the entire article since the story itself contains the entire article. Nice editorial touch with the cut'n'paste.
Slightly off topic, but apparently, you have no idea of what a router is if you think that it is a requirement for a router to be able to natively negotiate DSL. And apparently the moderator that found your comment insightful doesn't have a clue either.
According to wikipedia: "A router is a computer networking device that forwards data packets toward their destinations through a process known as routing."
Where, exactly, did you get the idea that you have a =right= to watch television? Isn't it more of a priviliege? If the local mall decides that it will no longer supply parking space, do you still have a right to park there or do you just have a right to choose not to shop there? I would say that the same applies to television. If they stop transmitting in a certain way. Who's to stop them? It should be in their own interest to keep the distribution form that lets them reach the biggest audience. Granted. In this instance it isn't the media companies that are deciding. But the media companies are "leasing" radio frequencies, thereby giving the state all the "right" in the world to cancel that lease.
Basically, your claim that they're forcing this change on you is really nothing more than you deciding not to utilize their service any more.
The junkfilter says that I should have fewer junk characters so I'm guessing I need to fill this out a bit so that the junk-filter will allow me to post this.
This article is simply rubbish. The author claims that there are too many databases available.
Too many?
I could probably list more engines just from the top of my head that are sold by the "behemoths", as he puts it. Especially since the author also includes niche products.
And why would this argument apply specifically to open source applications? Shouldn't you take the same care when implementing a "strategic" word processor? Would you use a spread sheet from an unknown supplier that you don't kow will be around in two years?
I would say that RedHat is a perfect example of an open source initiative that is used as "strategic choice" and why would this business model not work with databases?
Seriously. This kind of news makes me feel very uneasy. Why is that we somehow have all the money in the world to investigate and research how to maim each other more effectively but can't find the pocket change to keep one of the most interesting ongoing science projects going.
Governments spend tons of money on arms research and ways to make mice reproduce asexually, but for some reason they think that a project that's been going strong for 30 years and still is valuable isn't worth anything.
It will be ANOTHER 30 FREAKING years before we can get chance to gather this information again.
Truly sickening.
I really hope that they'll come to their senses and reevaluate this decision.
"If Microsoft develops a screwdriver, will people refuse to use it?"
Absolutely not!
But there will be a lot of whining about how there is a much better, cheaper, and all toghether fantastic =other= screwdriver that the general public is just too stupid to appreciate.
Phillips, that is, with a proprietary head! What a nerve.
Actually, newer releases of Windows prevent you from seeing the BSOD and reboots instantly instead. This can be changed under My computer [RL] Properties -> Advanced -> Startup and Recovery Settings.
So, if your computer has ever spontaneously rebooted, you have experienced a BSOD.
On a more serious note, I have seen a lot of BSOD:s, but only because I've induced them manually. Forcing a BSOD is the only way to get a kernel mode memory dump which can be used for remote debugging and analyzing without access to the computer. http://support.microsoft.com/?id=244139
Another way would be to connect a debugger and attach it to the kernel and issue the.crash command.
> I remember our programming instructor in sixth grade teaching us about this logic operator is BASIC.
Actually, it's not the same operator.
They're talking about creating an operator that can say if two objects are the EXACT same object or not.
In C++ terms this is the equivalent of doing *ptr != *ptr (!=) vs. ptr != ptr (IsNot).
As you all know, int a = 1 and int b = 1 does mean that &a != &b whereas it does not mean that a != b.
So, basically they're trying to patent a new keyword with new functionality in all BASIC-related languages, effectively locking all companies that provide BASIC-interpreters out because they can't provide this functionality.

8 votes are statistically irrelevant, but still 'every vote counts'.
At least as long as the difference is statistically significant.

Uhm, that sword statement is simply not true.

Reminds me of Manna
Because owning a computer doesn't give you any inherent rights to anything. Why would owning a generic piece of hardware entitle you to anything Nintendo at all?
And, perhaps most importantly, because the software owners say so.
But then we wouldn't have known how to build a reusable shuttle, which I'm sure left some residual science in other fields as well.
Some things are worth doing just for the sake of it.

Errr, is there a reason for why there are no comments at all to the last 4 stories and only 10 comments to the fifth?

Nothing there about having to negotiate DSL.
So, as usual, you should get your facts straight before you post.
Am I the only one that thinks that there's an 'e' too much and an 'l' too little in appalling?
> but for the people who had the time to do it, I'm sure it was a bonding experience
Considering what they we're doing, I'm pretty certain that they we're getting at least some bonding experience.
