reccomending textbooks does not imply requiring them
i'm studying electronic systems engineering at manchester in the uk the lectures contain all the information you should need to know and having that availible in printed form (which nearly all the lectures provide) is enough most of the time.
there are reccomended textbooks and on occasion i've looked at them in the library when i've had problems understanding stuff but the lecturers don't expect everyone to go out and buy a copy.
Now, If I were to actually build a table, I would have to obtain from you the right to use table legs. Having patented the table, your lawyer would have pretty good grounds to convince a court that I used at least one table leg during the development of the invention, and therefore should have licensed the table leg from you. This is where the "pay" part comes from;) aren't their exceptions for R&D in patent law?
sure windows apps may see what they think is windows but i don't think there is anything to stop them making linux syscalls directly once they realise they are in wine.
is that with universal time the date would change during the working day.
this would mean that you couldn't use dates to identify working days without having to seperately make it clear if you were talking about the date the workday started in or the one it ended in.
the other problem with manual DST is if people get it wrong.
the windows user interface in particular pushes the idea that local time is all important and the timezone is just some internationalisation setting.
if you have local time right and timezone wrong your computer gets the wrong idea of UTC which is a bad thing for any protocol that bases things like caching on UTC.
the gorupling of taskbar buttons is on of the things that pisses me off most when trying to work on a locked down XP computer (on my own systems i can just turn it off)
i generally remember which taskbar button is where especilly if i have a lot of browser windows open you just can't do that with the grouping system that XP uses by default.
the really scary thought is if terrorists managed to get attack capabilities of the level where they can cause significant direct damage rather than just terror.
whilst traditional terrorist attacks are scary much if not most of thier damage is in the form of stopping normal life temporerally for a huge number of people not in thier direct body counts.
imagine how the world would change if terrorists gained the ability to make even a fairly primitive nuke.
it will burn up eventually (as will the iss if they don't keep boosting it) because there is still some drag and over years that causes the orbit to reduce.
agree its best practice to scan from outside the infected enviroment if possible but its often not very feasible with windows.
also most of the problems on windows are well known viruses. cleaning up what you belive is a deliberate attack on YOUR system would obviously justify far more care.
linux 3D graphics drivers still aren't as good as the windows one and producing a linux boot cd that was fully legal (you have to be carefull about redistribution rules for propietry drivers) and worked with all current graphics hardware would be a real pita.
not to mention it would screw anyone with slightly unusual hardware, remember its not just the graphics drivers its also things like the drivers required for the motherboard to properly use agp.
i've bought coloured reflector bulbs before from maplin and i've learent you always check what color is actually in the box before buying as they do get put in the wrong boxes when people look at them
and all colors of theese bulbs are the same price so again they don't save anything by swapping the boxes
no if the governement deregulated the airwaves we would have a free for all to the point where you needed kilowatts of transmit power to get any signal through at all.
radio bandwidth is a scarce public resource that must be handled carefully to allow all the different radio applications that we take for granted.
well if you are trying to maintain old code staying with the original compiler means that you won't run into bugs caused by new behaviour in a new compiler.
i don't make internation calls but i've used calling cards in other situations and they are a PITA for short calls.
i spent most of last year in a uni block where you had to use a university supplied card (no they wouldn't let you direct dial the 0800 access numbers for other cards for some reason) to make all calls. I switched to voip on my laptop simply because i could direct-dial that way.
and i'm pretty sure most linux installers run straight over anything else that is in the mbr too
theres always a conflict between making stuff work automatically and not stepping on stuff you don't understand thats already there (especially when you have to consider the case that the mbrs current content could simply be random garbage rather than something you don't recognise and should ask about)
ofc they don't like to acknolage that linux exits putting in code to look for lilo/grub in the mbr would be acknolageing that it existed.
iirc the reason for manually lowering the landing gear is because it wasn't possible to un-lower it and if a computer glitch lowered it in space the shuttle would be lost.
if your going to use something like javadoc you really have to put a javadoc comment for every function otherwise functions will be missed from the documentation.
this is true even if what the comment says would be obvious from reading the code.
maybe so but these suborbital arcs aren't really spaceflight either except by a very artificial definition (which will likely get changed if these arcs become popular).

this looks like a javadoc comment. The idea of javadoc is to keep the source for the documentation and the code together in a single file to increase the chance that the documentation actually gets updated when the functionality changes.

i just installed vlc and it played just fine in that
and quicktime says it can't find a decompressor
anyone got any hints for actually making it play?

afaict wine isn't really much of a sandbox.

you sure they didn't just swap em by mistake

out of interest what exactly was the peice of safety equipment?

but he isn't touting the book merely giving you a cheaper source than the article gives.
most linux bootloaders are capable of booting the boot sector of a dos/windows partition.
so the norm is generally to put the linux bootloader in the MBR and then search for dos partitions to add to its list.

i presume this mouse will need special driver support.
i wonder if anyone will do a pc driver or if this mouse will be only usable with a mac.
