If you're working for the University, forget all that real world experience. Just do what you feel like, look busy, and program something crappy right before they ask for it. That's what I did. Actually worked out suprizingly well.
I picked a new language for every project I worked on, learning java and perl while getting paid. Not to mention I learned how to raise levels on a mud while looking productive.
Then again, I was young, not taken seriously, and underpaid. YMMV
Better than having the builders incourage arsony so that they can sell you more houses. coincidently, they can use cheap materials if it's going to burn soon anyway.
I'd like better full screen support, so when I go [to] full screen in the shell, it looks like an old v100 terminal [or] whatever those were called. That would be nice.
If you're using linux ctrl-alt-F1 will drop you to a virtual terminal. It's hard to get any more consolish looking than that. Personally though, I like my 30 plus terminals on the same screen:) .
I hope you didn't actually mean that. I don't want to write gui hooks inside my shell scripts...I write way too many of them. And if I wanted a gui I'd have done it some other way.
Actually, it was quite random, I was testing my scroll wheel and the word spreadsheet jumped out at me. It took me a while to find out exactly what I had seen, and then I wished I hadn't.
I kept digging. The patent does include this, later on. It might be what it's refering to...if it is I want to know where this guy lives. To, um, congratulate, him, yeah....
remember this is on some database expert system patent
PREFERRED MODE OF INTEGRATION WITH SPREADSHEET PROGRAMS
An alternate implementation has also been tried to INTEGRATE THE INVENTION WITH SPREADSHEET PROGRAMS. The concept of this alternate implementation isn't as elegant and flexible as the previous solution, but this is considered more practical and appropriate, since it doesn't require as much memory and computer speed as the DDE solution. In this implementation, the invention simply exports its information to a format that can be read by spreadsheet programs. In the case of the Microsoft Excel 4.0.TM. spreadsheet program by Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Wash., the spreadsheet program supports an option called Info Window (information window). This option may be activated by use of menu command Options-Workspace-Info Window. When the Info Window shows up and whenever it is the active window, the Info Window menu bar is also active. Now use menu command Info and check out all information except for option Note. Using this configuration, the Info Window will only show the contents of the memo note of the worksheet's active cell. Finally, it is suggested that both the worksheet and the info window be arranged so as to show up simultaneously (just use the Windows-Arrange menu command). The Info Window's contents change every time a new cell is selected in the spreadsheet. So, if the spreadsheet will show the data in one window (the worksheet window) and the other window (the info window) will show the diagnostic (the memorandum) associated to the cell where the cursor is. To make this work, all the invention's diagnostics are transferred to the spreadsheet and written into notes in the spreadsheet cells where the corresponding numbers are.
here is the sentence after what you quoted. Are periods taboo in patents? I never read one before, but this is horrendous. Someone should be shot just for butchering the english language that badly.
a program in execution by said computer for controlling operations thereof for receiving user input defining one or more analysis rules to be applied to user specified data from said memory, each said analysis rule being a user defined arithmetic and/or logic test to be applied to user specified items of said data and for controlling said computer to receive and store user entered data defining the alphanumeric text of a diagnostic statement associated with each true result of each said analysis rule, each said diagnostic statement comprised of a user defined alphanumeric text string which the user can program to define the significance of the true result, its relevance or any other expression which provides meaning to the user of the true result of the analysis rule, and for controlling said computer to receive user input controlling which of said analysis rules are to be applied to said data, and for applying said analysis rules so designated to the data designated by said user and returning a true or false result for each analysis rule so applied depending upon the state of the data to which each analysis rule was applied, and for each true result returned by an analysis rule, controlling said computer to store in a file in said memory the user programmed text of a diagnostic statement associated with each true result as a diagnostic in a diagnostic database, and for controlling said computer to receive and store in said memory user input defining one or more expert tests, each expert test comprising a user defined arithmetic and/or logic statement to be applied to one or more diagnostics selected by user input from the diagnostics stored in said diagnostic database, said arithmetic and/or logic statement comprised of mathematical operators and/or logical operators from any logic set such as predicate logic or Boolean logic including at least the AND, OR and NOT functions, each said expert test returning either a true or false result, and for controlling said computer to receive user input defining the text of a super diagnostic statement in the form of an alphanumeric string associated with each true result of one of said expert tests, each said superdiagnostic being an alphanumeric string which the user can program to define the significance of the true result of the expert rule, its relevance or any other expression which provides meaning to the user of the true result of the expert rule, and for controlling said computer to receive user input defining which of said expert tests to execute on user specified diagnostics in said diagnostic database, and for controlling the computer to execute the expert tests so designated, and for controlling said computer to store as a super diagnostic in a super diagnostic file in said memory the super diagnostic statement associated with any true result returned by any said expert test.
I like my bin. Then again I like my cd, ls, rm, cp, mv, vi, su, dd, df, ln, ps, sh, and wc too. Short commands are nice, sure the learning curve is a little higher, but typing programs every time I want to get to bin would be that much more annoying.
There's nothing to be enlightened about. The article doesn't make sense. It presupposes that you use windows and are "goodie two shoe" enough that you have never accidently hit a warez site while browsing the web. Anyone with half a brain can circumvent this copy protection. When they put the DRM into the motherboard, then you'll need 2/3rds of a brain to circumvent it. But so far, it's still only half a brain.

I have yet to see a spam system that deals nicely with the occasional legitimate mail I receive in foreign languages. My mother in particular is very good at forming e-mail which looks like spam. She gets angry when I don't answer.:)

ok, I accept, what's your address? :)
Under your reasoning I should have gotten a refund when I switched to linux.
:P
Those bastards stole from me! I want my $1.
I always like to use free stuff.

I miss your point. Builtins is NOT the power of a CLI. In fact, it's quite the opposite, the power comes from combining everything together.

Shell programs should support the mouse

Yes, the formatting is right on that.
What's the point of blending the two techniques?
Anyone have a clue?
I would use one or the other but I can't think of any situation where I would prefer blending to doing two different searches.
I've met a few. It's not all lies.
browse at -1 and count, but please don't add another one.

Except not buying broken products that assume you're a criminal. Last I checked, I still had to buy my media center. Sony doesn't give those away yet.
Scream Loudly. That's all the advice I can give you. If we all scream loudly, maybe they'll listen. If not, maybe they'll get the idea when we leave.
Amusingly, that's all I've used bittorrent for. Guess, it does have legitimate uses. When they stop suing kids, I'll start buying music again.

So what you're saying is Free as in Freedom can't compete monitarily with Free as in Stolen. Congratulations, you're right.
Go read the study, that's one of the main points.
I think you're right.
I feel stupider for having read that.
And I wasn't expecting much, it is commentary on a religious war after all.
They also sell one that has the german keyboard layout.
It's name is "Das Kezboard"
I Vote no. Not to be taken seriously.
I started smiling by the second sentence.
