protocols by definition are the opposite of secrets, protocols are there for interaction by otherwise incompatible entities, these protocols need to be published in order for them to work. Microsoft wants to be the ONLY entity.
That and ONLY that is the reason why they do not wish to share these protocols.
Intergalactic? Interstellar at best.
get your astronomical terms right:
solar system: Big
Interstellar space: bigger
Intergalactic space: freaking humungous
Tolkien actually would enjoy this, he would write then re-write entire 'tales', coming up with a mixture that resembled 'true' myth, when he 'abandoned' this work it was not because he did no like it (in fact he thought it to be vastly more important than LOTR) he simply did not have the time due to the commitments coming from the (unexpected) success of LOTR, if not for that he would have 'finished' it himself. His son Christopher is the only one qualified to edit these tales and get them ready for publishing as he like no other knew his fathers ultimate vision.
I can't wait...
I'm from Brisbane, and have been up to Australia Zoo a number of times (about an hours drive), This place is testimony to a very commited man, long may it stand as a reminder to us all. RIP Steve
Ever used Eclipse Visual Editor, what a joke, I'm still working with Delphi 7, will kick the ars of any Java app when it comes to speed or low level capabilities. JVM should read JMV for Java Memory Vortex
For the same reason Americans talk about a 'World Series' when they refer to a domestic compitition, you either think you're very big or the world to be a smaller place...
I consider myself lucky having a dentist who's 'needle work' is beyond compare, It strikes me every time that I can't tell when the needle has gone in and out, only the numbness in the cheek gives it away. He puts some of the anesthetic on to a cotton bud, taps the spot where the needle will go, then puts the tip of the needle there, slightly closes the mouth (mine not his) to take the tightness of the muscle, and then slowly injects the anesthetic, After 3 of 4 experiences like that my jitters before a visit (no one likes a visit to the dentist) are close to nil, added bonus is that i get into the chair relaxed, adding to the 'quality' of the experience.
Being raised in the Netherlands where all power (except for some transmission lines) is underground. I can count the number of blackouts during the 'Dutch' period of my life (28 years) on the fingers of one hand.
I have lived in Brisbane (Oz) for 20+ years now and during the summer storm season we have (at least) 1 black out a week.
This was on/. a few moths back, anyway;
The native Crow (or raven not sure which) has figured out that by flipping the toad on its back it can go for the soft non-toxic belly, something it teaches its offspring as well!
One problem remains; how to silence the Crows, then again the Cockatoos need mufflers as well. it never ends...
shows how much you know about the game, Brazil should hang it's head in shame for letting the ozzies dictate terms for the entire gam, some flucky counters (since when does Brazil play on the counter) got them out of jail, the're ripe for the picking.
I noticed that the jokes (or what passes for a joke) are linguistic in nature, what makes it even funnier is that they come from inhabitants of a nation that has bastardized a perfectly good language themselves and would not be able to save their live reciting one word of Hindi.

funny, I was just listening to the Doors 'The End' when I read that article.
Of course not! As predicted: Everyone born under the sign of Gemini got hit by a big truck and died.
not so fast, it could well be that it is already 100 AU from earth depending ont the geometry at the moment.
Just for that I will get my e-mail address out there in the wild a let my inbox fill to the brim with unread crap. There, see if I care

Any IDE is but a clone of the old Turbo line. full stop end of argument...
I agree, still have Turbo C version 1. First IDE on the PC as well. AAAAHHHhh the memories.
OK, you keep 'the internet, WE keep the WWW
Fuck, you're dumb

So can we get Bush over here in Australia and fuck him over for fucking us over?

I agree, Australian Aboriginals have lived in isolation from the rest of the world for 40.00+ years

Or do what you do best to those that don't agree with you... bomb them

What's wrong with Cricket?
I run a Finnish one every now and then, does that count?
