The intellectuals are happy because they got what they were expecting from it, and the movie gave them exactly what they wanted
I don't think they were expecting lines and cliched love scenes that seem like they were written by a 14 year old. I couldn't bear watching the movie.
There was an attempt to throw "big words" and seemingly philosophical mumbo jumbo around so that some people coming out of the movie can pretend to understand and be intellectual about it.
I guess you couch-intellectuals like to sit around and debate how it's possible that machines can extract more energy out of humans than they put in?
Face it, they dumbed the movie down and it's down right insulting as an intellectual movie. That mean it isn't damn good entertainment though.
You forgot the chicken and the egg problem. Manufacturers won't make digital tvs until broadcasters broadcast digital tv. Broadcasters won't broadcast unless people buy digital tvs.
Christchurch NZ has had 4 small but still "feelable" earthquakes in the last month. It got me thinking about emergency equipment needed and I realised that I don't personally own a battery powered radio anymore. I rely on the internet for my information. Doh.
Maybe one side of the sun has more activity than the other.

And the cost is run-time bloat (in C#).
Not really cause the type bloat is small. There only needs to be one type for all reference types and one for each value type. Also, you don't have the overhead of boxing and unboxing with *every* access to the collection. That's not just a memory overhead, that's a performance overhead that java has to deal with. It can be reduced by caching common values, but still will be higher than C#'s generics implementation.
The Console class only has 3 properties and 10 methods. If you needed slashdot to work out something as simple as opening a binary stream or to understand the difference between TextWriters/Readers and Streams then I would seriously consider not telling your employer.

You forgot iterators which let you define more declarative how an enumerator/iterator works.
IEnumerable<T> Test() { get { for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { yield i; } } }
foreach (int i in Test()) { Console.WriteLine(i); }
1 is only in the spec stage here, whereas for Java there is already a technology preview, i.e. a more or less working implementation
There has been a working implementation of generics for over a year now (for rotor).
Might it occur to you that I might not be an american, and hence, haven't been exposed in my young age to this beautifull culture that against all odds, generated a narrow-minded cretin like you?
Might it have occured to you that he isn't an american either?
Your ideas are right, but your numbers are meaningless. It could work out to be 1000 people or 100000000 people. Obviously if it was only 1000 people there isn't much commerical reason to support it.
Future archaeologists will probably find the sundial and conclude that the sumerians and mayans actually had space travel and made it to mars. I mean, what other explanation would there be?
Do you see the fallaciousness of your counterargument? You're comparing a car, which exists because intelligent agents designed and built it, with a cell, which I'm assuming you'd say exists due to evolution
Excuse me? The issue is whether it would be possible for a complex system to have evolved from many less complex and distinct systems. The parent pretty showed that it can using the car analogy. What the driving force for the seperate systems to come together (whether natural selection or creation) is irrelevant.
If you're using a Nano-ITX board for an embedded decide I think you'll be using some kind of OS like linux where you will be going thru/dev/* which abstracts off the fact that the serial port is connected to a USB hub. You wouldn't be using direct IO into the serial ports themselves.
On windows, all applications that use com ports work fine across USB com ports. They can't tell the difference. Same would apply for linux.
Um. It's RS232 for christ's sake. How difficult do you think it is for the USB -> RS232 port to work? The cables I've used have the entire circuit (including chips etc) inside the plug.
It's damn cool if you ask me. No need to ugly, space hogging RS232 ports on my M/B. If I ever need RS232 I know I can just plug a cable into one of my USB ports.

Also what they had was a VM that ran under Wine and used MFC like it would on Win32
Uh no. MFC is a C++ wrapper for the Win32 APIs. It is definitely not the underlying API used by Windows forms on either
You don't need the entire windows api to implement SWF. Using wine will result in an unstable and less portable port of SWF.
How long do you think mono SWF works on OSX or Ipaq? DotGNU SWF has been working on both for months.
well duh
For the uninformed, that is a fake (it has some xml copied from word).
Frontpage doesn't generate code that looks anything like that. Frontpage 2003 infact has a function to clean word generated html.
What am I missing here?

The consumer plays a small part.

That's one reason to have an analog radio.
a modded xbox is ideal for doing this.

So according to you there isn't a difference between an accident and a diliberate act?
Sure, kids on both sides are dying. But I thought you wanted to judge the moral stance of either side?
The palestinian children aren't being purposely targetted. The islamic terrorists are purposely targetting children.
There's a big, big difference.
That isn't true. If you don't let office startup startup on startup (phew) then apps *still* load up just as fast.
I think they just load up less things initially at startup. That and the smart arrangement of the files on the disk.
