Kindda like how so many people on slashdot like complaining about the US yet they're using an american website on an american invention (the internet).
Those were a few individuals and if you want to judge the country, judge the response.
The people responsible have been put on trial and recently sentenced. The laws of the country allowed the photos to be published and the reports to not be executed or "dissapear". The consitution and laws of the country you so rudely dismiss has allowed a Judge to just this week, allow the release of more photos from Abu Gurab despite the disapproval of the administration. Sounds like a facist state huh?
But is this feature still supported? Because Visual Interdev is a discontinued product. It has been replaced by Visual Studio.NET.
Yes. Interdev was rolled into all the other products. The JScript debugger has always been part of IE. A quick search shows two ways of setting breakpoints and after that you can do the step-step debugging you need:
The biggest disadvantage of ajax that I can see, is that it's written in javascript and there is no debugger available for the various web browsers (except Mozilla).
Um. The other major browser is IE and that has had a fully integrated step-step debugger since at least 1997. Remember Visual Interdev? IIRC, that even had intellisense for client side javascript. Your web pages would run inside IE and the IDE debugger would hook into that IE process and allow you to step through all your javascript.
That's a pretty lame example. Web services, from Microsoft's point of view, will allow rich (hint: windows) applications to programmatically communicate with websites. For example, a Windows application that allows you to do shopping (without a browser) on Amazon by calling amazon's API.
Web services complement but aren't themselves web based applications like the ones in the article.
There is a small decrease in funding for 2005 but despite that the funding is still 1.5 times greater than the funding in 1998 (higher than the level of inflation). Somehow you think that that means that the Bush administration doesn't support science?
I guess if there were smaller increases in 2002, 2003 and 2004 without a decrease in 2005, you would like it better?
I find it weird that the US always objected to stem cells research. I mean they have the most genome sequencing lab.... Its troubling that only California has some sort of bylaw to allow this
I find it weird and troubling that you're so ignorant. The US under Bush is the first administration to fund stem cell research with federal money. The only limitation is that you can't use federal>/i> money to research embryonic stem cells beyond the existing lines which have been approved for research (yes, Bush allowed existing embryonic stem cells to be used in research).
There is no "special bylaw" in California that allows them to fund stem cell research. Any private or state money can be used to research stem cells (embryonic or not). It's probably a good idea that federal money NOT be used to fund something so contraversial until the ethical "issues" can be resolved. Until that time there is nothing to stop individual states and private entities from doing the research on embryonic cells if they deem it worth while.
Apart from the points other people have made, it's also possible that the asteroid would simply absorb part of the impact (converting the kinetic-energy/momentum into heat).
No you jackass. I was making it clear that you don't need the Windows Vista additions to the Windows API to make visually pleasing applications quickly.
You're comparing the "visually pleasing" aspect of realbasic with the "visually pleasing" aspect of avalon?
For high-end computing - Mono runs on Sparc, S390, and Power support, Mono's really the only choice for high-end computing platforms.
Except that there's no proof that mono itself will scale on those platforms and P4 and AMD64 aren't exactly lightweights these days.
For embedded designs - Mono runs on ARM with MIPS soon to come, which makes Mono really the only choice for embedded platforms.
Well the compact framework runs on those processors too as does Portable.NET/DOTGNU.
For businesses - Many companies are able to provide support for the Mono engine, only one is able to support microsoft's implementaion. Any rational business will not allow any product that's sole-sourced from a single vendor, whether it's screws, bolts, gasoline, or software engines. With Microsoft's implemention your business is left at the whims of a single vendor who can pull the rug out from you whenever they feel like (remember Visual Basic 6, and the contempt MSFT showed business relying on that platform).
YOu gotta be kidding me. In reality, there more many more companies supporting.NET development. Sure, Microsoft are the only ones that can do anything about the runtime but there are literally thousands of vendors of.NET components (most of whom only support.NET on windows).
Basically, for any serious C# application, Mono is the only choice.
That's really delusional you know. Most C# applications being written today are on ASP.NET and SWF apps written for windows (many are internal custom applications).
Mono's VM, although continuously improving is not as stable as Microsoft's and their class library isn't either complete or, again, as stable as Microsft's. There is also no decent IDE for mono (monodevelop is so far away from being able to compete with visual studio or borland's offering that it's not funny).
ext2 filesystem compatibility, so I can read all my Linux files
They publish documentation of how to write your own fs for windows. THere are already extfs drivers for NT.
Make OpenGL the low-level rendering model for the entire system, Deprecate DirectX
WTF?
Add a "force uninstall" tool to purge botched device driver installations from my machine
XP already allows you to rollback to previous drivers.
Anyway, have you ever heard of system restore (which is also included in XP)? It works damn well. It works by monitoring and tracking all file activity and works like a transaction rollback for your system.
Gee, why not state that he's making them from human corpses? Hell, if he did then michael moore could make a movie about how bush singly handedly created hurricane katrina in order to turn black people into oil (if he hasn't already done so).
There's no reason why the fuel can't be exclusiuvely made out of less controversial (and, from a cat owner's point of view, less offensive) fuel farm animal waste products, trash and other oranic waste.
The only reason, I see, that he mentioned cats was to get on the news.
Does it have that plugin that lets you talk to your taelon overlords without them noticing that you're standing in the middle of the resistance hideout?
He's the mayor of the city. In a time of crisis he can bloody well confiscate the buses and use them to evacuate people. Hell, he could have just pretended to, you know, be a leader and asking the school district if he could borrow the buses and some drives. Yeah, I'm sure they would have said no.
Now he's spending time sitting on his ass spewing about how nothing is being done and blaming the federal government for his complete lack of leadership.
I fear what we're doing is training them to fight us in a few years, and training them to hate us. Countries over there (which are far from liberal, Lebanon aside) don't want us sticking our nose in from across the world.
The Iraqis are upset but clearly forward looking enough to understand the potential gains for their society. It is you, afterall, who admits that most of the i"insurgents" aren't actually Iraqis.
If we were serious about the 'liberation' of the Middle East, we should have started a long time ago.
US Government changes every 4-8 years. You know where I'm heading with this...
Israel should not have been allowed to hold the Golan Heights and the Sinai Peninsula decades after treaty.
Which treaty are you talking about? Israel pulled out of the Sinai after their signed a treaty with Egypt. The Golan heights was being used to fire onto Israeli farms. Considering their neighbour's religous hatred of jews, I'd keep it too...
May I remind you that it was Jordan, Syria and Egypt who attacked Israel in 67?
Saudi Arabia is one of the most autocratic, restrictive countries on Earth. They're our 2nd closest ally (after Israel) in the Middle East.
mostly true
Why didn't we stop Mbutu, or Pol Pot, or the genocide in the Sudan?
Because the successful administrations pussy footed around after vietnam.
We're showing we care about our interests. I can't honestly say why we're there (not for the oil, as they certainly would have expected almost total loss of the oil fields from the first war), but it's not for liberation.
I don't believe libertation is *the only reason*. Countries *should* work in their own interests. It was never in the interests of the US to directly liberalise the middle-east *UNTIL* 9/11 when they(or bush or whatever) clicked onto the idea that it would be in the best interests of the US to make the middle-east more stable and less likely to breed terrorism and hatred of America. Those things take time tho (something half the US population can't accept).
Remember, for years the US has invited middle-eastern students to study at US universities (etc). The US also has policies of diversification of the population and government agencies like US AID are designed to help developing countries help themselves. The american way of thinking (individual responsibility, state indepedence etc etc) is different much of the non-western world but, IMHO, it works rather well.
Slashdot Mirror
So what about the point that you ignored? Imprisonment without charge.
If you're referring to Iraq, it is a war zone and laws are different.
If you're refering to people in gitmo, then
1) they are not US citizens and not coverered by US civlian law
2) they aren't coverered by the geneva convention (no uniform etc etc)
Kindda like how so many people on slashdot like complaining about the US yet they're using an american website on an american invention (the internet).
The reality is, the US controls UN, so whats the fucking problem your moron.
1) You are an idiot.
2) If that really was the case, what's wrong with keeping it the way it is now?
Those were a few individuals and if you want to judge the country, judge the response.

It's been around for a while.
I use a series of characters to protect my slashdot account. It's my password. It keeps trolls from hijacking my account.
Since I've been using the password I've never been hijacked by a troll. I'd say it's doing its job very well.
It seems that science poses a threat an administration such as the current one.
I'd hate to destroy your little fantasy but...

1998: $3.429 billion (clinton)

That's a pretty poor joke, as it clearly shows that you know nothing of Middle Eastern history.
Do you know what a joke is?

You're comparing sparkle to realbasic?
Since when did realbasic have a vector based ui rather than some VB-6 like controls and layout system?
Get a clue.
Webpages anyone?
People have been living with UIs with different looks for years and it's not all that bad.

What a screwup of a mayor.
maybe because he wasn't in charge of the evacuation

Doyou have proof that he was prevented from using those buses?
Tell me why the idiotic democrat mayor of NOAL did not use the city's buses to evacuate his people?
Why are they sitting half submerged in water?
Oh yeah, it's all Bush's fault.
