Re:Java (Score:2) by OAB_X (818333) on 9 ish (#13313831) Visual Studio.NET = $99.99 USD for the Student development kit. I guess they are "free" from microsoft, but if yoou really want to be actually able to use them, you need to pay $100 per student.
Please note that I never claimed that Visual Studio.NET is free. It isn't.
However, the.NET SDK is entirely free. Please actually visit the link that I previosly posted, and you'll find that this is true.
Well, I learned Java in my grade 11 high school course. Like Ruby, it has the added benefit of being free to get SDK's for (unlike MS VC++ or C#), while still being easy to program in.
The MS VC++, C#, J#, and VB.NET SDKs are indeed free.
It fires automatically every minute or two whether there have been any source changes at all - even if another cruise control is still running - and commences a checkout of the entire repository.
This is only true if it is poorly configured.
The more popular configuration is 'checks' for source changes every XX number of minutes, and only perform a GET or checkout if there has been a source change. It's also unusual to run so many instances on a single box.
I've been predicting the same thing for quite some time. VPC allows Microsoft to step off the 'backwards compatibility' treadmill that Raymond Chen (http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/) often speaks of.
The.NET Framework is another potential step in this direction.
Yes, it is done all the time. With enough time and effort (and money) such schemes can untangle. It's all a matter of how complicated you make it, and how willing a third party is to pierce this type of corporate pyramid. The issue is that at some point you must own or control the other companies. This becomes their point of commonality. In fact, the IRS specifically addresses this type of corporate tree for Section 179 deductions.
Actually, it's not that simple. If there is a demonstrable relationship between the companies, they are 'related' ventures, and assests of all of the related companies may be subject to the suit.
This is being addressed in the next Operating System, Longhorn. The API set is currently codename "WinFX", and will be 100% managed code. It will co-exist side by side with Win32, but is not intended to be a layer over Win32. The intent is to no longer add Operating System functionality through Win32. All new APIs will be WinFX APIs.
Current random number generators utilize a 'seed'. Usually, programmers use the time as the seed, resulting in a deterministic value - if you know the time that was used as the seed, as well as the random number algorithm, then you may predict the number sequence.
So, the way to accomplish this is by finding a non-reproducable seed value. The Intel PIII has a "hardware random number generator that uses thermal noise" as the seed. Open SSH uses PRNG to create entropy by doing such things watching timing in between keystrokes to generate their seed. So, numbers may indeed be random with an adequately non-reproducible seed.
My thoughts exactly. If this becomes a common method for tracking machines, then it will be trivial to change the TCP implementation on open source operating systems to non-deterministically generate the TCP timestamp.
It doesn't matter if you think that Windows can hold up to HIPPAA. It matters if HOSPOC IT staff, the FDA, and other federal regulators think that it can hold up.
This is an interesting question. I'm actually in this industry, and have been for the last half-decade. For an industry that seems to lag remarkably behind the times, I'd like to note the following:
1. The major player in this field, McKesson (previously HBOC) seems enamored with Java. This, however, is only because the Healthcare IT field seems to be 5-15 years behind the current technology.
2. Major players in this field (Particularly Eclipsys) have bet the farm on.NET, and by-and-large, this seems to have been a successful gamble, though not a smooth road. The Eclipsys flagship product, Sunrise XA, is written almost entirely in.NET. This product is a major player in the healthcare arena.
3. Many hospitals have strict rules on what IT software is allowed. I will tell you that the following is ALWAYS allowed: Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, SQL Server, Oracle. The following is SOMETIMES allowed: Sybase, Any "other" RDBMS, Windows XP, Linux, *nix, etc.
With the combination of Windows and SQL Server, you can't go wrong. Don't believe me? Do your market research. Want more info? jerry@dennany.org.
Those type of questions always annoyed me enough to argue for my points to the prof. You were correct - he did not require a unit of measurement in the question.
"OTOH, a missing library is trivial to diagnose under Linux. Just run ldd against the binary. Even retrieving the offending library again is pretty trivial in most distributions."
Yes, and it is trivial to troubleshoot on Windows, as well. Just run Depends, Showdep, or any number of available utilities against the binary. However, this shouldn't normally be an issue as Windows doesn't suffer from the same type of dependency issues that most Linux distributions do.
Most ISP's throttle the SMTP connection severely when >100 messages are sent at any given time. So, sending through the ISP's mail server isn't usually a viable option for spammers.
Actually, there are many implemenations of non-HTTP soap implementations. Microsoft Web Services Extensions is one such example, with support for a tcp transport channel.
That's why the WiFi Pad doesn't actually store any data, it merely connects to the main system through a wireless uplink. It also has a login timout, with either manual or biometric login.
I work in the hospital / IT field. WiFi in hospitals can be a huge boon to productivity.

Great - now I can stare some more at my cubical wall all day long.
Next, someone will figure out a way to tattoo that image onto the inside of my eyelids.
With only 4 major labels, and all of them coordinating distribution and pricing to various degrees, we're basically at the monopoly point anyway.
Yup, it's called an oligopoly. Here's more info on the music biz oligopoly.

Yes, of course you are correct, for the current definition of 'computer'.

I'm speaking from experience, as I've been in this niche for some time.
