For anyone looking for a virtual desktop manager for Windows, check out XDESK. Yes, the website looks awful, and yes the options screens are dreadful, and yes it's bloated with features you'll never use, but at the core is a very solid and fast virtual desktop manager, complete with a very nice pager.
It's Shareware. They have a 30-day trial version, as well as a free 'lite' version.
Yes, a desktop OS for the masses *should* be crippled in some ways. Ways such as "not making Administrator access the default." NOT ways such as "making it completely impossible to do 'advanced' tasks."
2) Don't Get a degree to increase your "marketability", unless it increases your "marketability" in a field that you would want a job in. In which case, see (1).
Damnit, why didn't I say "idiom"?! My one chance in life to use the word "idiom" and I blew it!
LAUNCELOT: No, no, sweet Concorde! Stay here! I will send help as soon as I have accomplished a daring and heroic rescue in my own particular... *sigh* CONCORDE: Idiom, sir?
1) Code for maintainability 2) Profile your code 3) Optimize the bottlenecks
That said, (!ptr) should be just as maintanable as (ptr == NULL) simply because it is a frequently used 'dialect'. As long as these 'shortcuts' are used throughout the entire codebase they should be familiar enough that they don't get in the way of maintainability.
So-called "multipotent" stem cells -- those found in cord blood -- are capable of forming a limited number of specialised cell types, unlike the more versatile "undifferentiated" cells that are derived from embroyos.
Okay, maybe I should have included the entire paragraph:
"(1) ACCESS TO STUDENT RECRUITING INFORMATION- Notwithstanding section 444(a)(5)(B) of the General Education Provisions Act and except as provided in paragraph (2), each local educational agency receiving assistance under this Act shall provide, on a request made by military recruiters or an institution of higher education, access to secondary school students names, addresses, and telephone listings."
So yes, this contact information is being shared for recruiting purposes. They don't need this info for drafting purposes. That's what Selective Services is for.
The only truly bad thing would be if they are sharing other information (like the test scores and grades you mentioned) with Armed Services. But I can't find evidence that they are.
Did you mean this section? All I see is "access to secondary school students names, addresses, and telephone listings".
And right below that, it states "A [student or parent] may request that the [info] not be released without prior written parental consent, and the local educational agency or private school shall notify parents of the option to make a request and shall comply with any request."
Where did you get your information? (And what does it have to do with the topic, for that matter?)
Of course, there are common things that neither party wants
Spam isn't about what someone wants or doesn't want. It's about what's unsolicited. Yeah some people like looking at the pictures in their porn spam, but that doesn't make it any less spam.
Also from the bill (emphasis mine): "for a person who is located in California, who knows that a particular recording or audiovisual work is commercial"
So you're free to share public domain, and even your private home movies with anyone. Though if you want to sell your home movies (to more than 10 people), you have to give the buyers your e-mail address...
Second benefit, especially for l33t m00zik d00dz in P2P networks: Editing file metadata would not touch file contents and thus not the file checksum. You could manipulate the tags to your heart's content and the MD5 for that file would stay the same.
And there's the problem. Metadata doesn't go with the file when the file is transferred, so a person's metadata will probably end up just as organized as his/her desktop.
If it's a normal button, that would at least give right-handed people some sort of 'fire' button for their left hand.
Then again, I guess there's nothing keeping game developers from showing the game up-side-down, and requiring the player to use the stylus on the 'top' screen...

I thought the "other" side was the warez side, and "this" side was the legitimate-use side.
That makes me sad.

WTF?
I think it's a bit eerie that you're dating yourself, personally.

And here I was thinking Microsoft was going to officially support the BlackBox for Windows effort. Silly me.

Sounds like you're trying to do what this guy did.
I just stumbled upon that site a few days ago and thought the effect was cool. Your post reminded me of it. Maybe it helps.
EA can't suck monkey balls. Sega has an exclusive license on them.
You expect McDonald's to advertise the fact that they sell hamburgers?

That gamesindustry.biz article was nice. But one of the ones it links to is even better!
Nintendo DS to launch with up to 10 titles, $29.99 software price point.
The engrossed amendmend Sec, 3081 is the section on "Studies on machine-readable passports and travel history database"

Q: What's worse than linking to your site in a Slashdot article?
A: Linking to your site twice in a Slashdot article.
Were they scared it wouldn't go down fast enough?
That's Tanenbaum. No "nn".
Yeah, they also talk about Netscape 7.1 being the latest version, while 7.2 is now available.
Not a very up-to-date article, but what do you expect from a, yada, yada, yada.

I think dot matrix might cause a privacy issue. It would be easy enough to tell by the sound which candidate the vote is for.
