world of warcraft is a sequel.
All the stories of the previous games have consequenses in wow. (the player built scholomance and destroyed the brackrock mountain in wacraft2, for example )
that reminds me of the rings found by the scientist in the original "time machine" film. They were simple to use and contained all the information needed.
althought the photonic computer in the remake was way cooler

even if god have a chance of existing, the christian god have zero chance. Let me explain:
The characteristics of god, as said by the church: -He is perfect -He is omniscient (sees everything) -He is omnipresent (is everywhere) -He is omnipotent (can do anything) -He is good
If he is good, sees all, is everywhere and can do everything he can fix all the wrong things in the world.
If someone can prevent an evil thing to happen and doesn't do it, he made an evil thing by his inaction.
Ops, there are thousands of children that starve to death, they are not responsible for their situaition and this "god" don't save them all.
Ops, there are natural disasters that kill the sinners and the good guys (kids too, if u think there are no good guys)
[insert your observation of natural injustices and cruelties of our world and society here]
so, we can only conclude that the entity above modeled and named "god"
1) doesn't exist or 2) is not omnipotent or 3) is not omnipresent or 4) is not good (or even fair) or 5) is not perfect
choose any one that you like, since we have no data to determine witch one (or more)of these is the factual truth.
What will become scarce is the potable, clean water for us humans to drink.
The volume of water available in the planet is constant.
And anout the (lack of) efficiency of the process... ANY NEW TECH starts ineficent an then evolves... the market will take care of this.
At Colombia, the oil production is taxed at 80%+ and it still viable...
suposedly CS and SE knows the concepts and the basis where he can learn any tool...
More often than not, the "self learned" that used to do the job for the last 25 years have lots of vices and bad practices (i'm not saying that it is your case). For cases like yours there are certifications, this way u can prove that u know a certain technology without having to make an entire CS graduation.
why other countries can't have the atomic bomb? The most beligerant and war-mongering country in the world have lots of them!!! This country even have used it to anihilate 2 civilian cities (with no sanctions imposed until now) and for the last century was always involved in a war on some part of the world (except it's own territory, so it's allways attacking, never defending himself).
This monopoly caused the entire world being a hostage of the US agenda (see afghanistan and iraq) since they can use force every time negotiations prove being too slow or too costly.
The atomic bomb knowledge being spread can give the world some balance in the international politics scenario.
the most anoying bug form me is one of the oldest, if you have a table, select, copy and paste it on an excel (or OO) spreadsheet, it will put everything in one cell instead of respecting the cells content.
this bug is 4 YERS OLD!!! (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1374 50)
if ie7 adresses his problems, it's probable that I will go back to it.
Seeking a third party to help you is insane since the kid should count on YOU to help him, not an outsider.
This is a symptom of parents trying to run away from his responsibilities as parents. Don't know how to deal with a specific problem? study, learn about it, but don't ask to someone else to solve the problem for you.
My kid is less than 1 year old, so I don't have this kind of problem yet. But as a ex-hardcore gamer (casual now), I know that gaming must be balanced with other kinds of healthy, physical activities (like dancing, martial arts, sports,...).
other open languages (like phyton) don't have forks because a fork wouldn't do any good to the forker.
major application server suppliers could make a lot of profit with a vendor lock implemented with gradual non conformities with its JVM.
and a open source implementation of the JVM wouldn't make any difference for the non religious free/open source zealot.
I use PDAs in a day-to-day basis since PalmIIIe. after 4 generations of palms (last one was a zire 72), i finally took a PocketPC (o2 XDA II) only to consolidate all my gadgets in one.
basically my xda = PDA + cell phone + pendrive + mp3 player.
but zire 72 was way better than XDA ins terms of usability and shows me that PDAs have a lot to evolve, they must be not like computers and more like cell phones. adding a new contact with a photo is a burocratic procedure that convinces 99% of the users NOT to do it again (only to mention one example)...
Linux should not cripple itself to make room for non-free software.
I would like to have freedom to choose between open or closed source software.
If your application uses autoconf, it's pretty darn easy to port to any distro
Are you kidding? the "next, next, next, finish" approach the "arcane installers" uses takes 15 seconds to install something. for 99% of my apps, that's all I need.
Most linux zealots don't understand that the users wants to use the apps, not the OS
At tech-ed 2005 here in Brazil I saw one of MS evangelists showing a table comparing speeds for MS office (don't remember the version) and openoffices showing diferences od 20x or more...
I use both offices suites at work and at home and the speed difference is in the order of 2x at most for the first loading of the program and almost no difference after this (anything below 1 second is just "fast enougth" for me). And my computer is rather outdated.
I think ms Office a fair software, not worth the price, that's really expensive in Brasil, but they don't need to lie this way to sell it...
"Can anyone confirm that the Windows and Linux binary are identical? If true it should be read as Google pays Codeweavers to fix Wine to run Picasa. Which I guess is still a good thing."
I think it's even better than porting picasa to linux. Porting Picasa to linux will result in one good application for linux, making wine better will result in lots of good applications for linux.
The lack off applicatins (and games) for linux is the only reason that I still have windows in my personal machine
" A program is free software if its users have certain crucial freedoms. Roughly speaking, they are: the freedom to run the program, the freedom to study and change the source, the freedom to redistribute the source and binaries, and the freedom to publish improved versions. (See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html.) Whether any given program is free software depends solely on the meaning of its license. "
Sun don't say java will is free software, it is OPEN source, since you can download and study the source. If you want to contribute with code optimizations or other improvements, you can study the code and send it to SUN, modifying and redistributing at will would spawns several forks with limited compatibility killing the "write once, run anywhere".
I hope that Java never became "free" in Stallman's definition.
"If you develop a Java program on Sun's Java platform, you are liable to use Sun-only features without even noticing. By the time you find this out, you may have been using them for months, and redoing the work could take more months. You might say, "It's too much work to start over." Then your program will have fallen into the Java Trap; it will be unusable in the Free World."
This states that Stallman doesn't understant hoe JCP works. There is no "Sun-only features" as standard libraries, SUN's VM implements the specifications that are avaliable to everyone to implement in his way (the specification garantes the interoperability).
Java is already open, as open as it is usefull to the open source community. it is not as open as stallman's dogma says it is desired, but that is another matter.
"Microsoft's probable response to OSS Java, would be to comb through the source code for bugs, and call a press conference to announce "one gadzillion bugs found in open source Java, more probably exist"."
No.
like before, M$ will be able to ship inside windows a m$ java virtual machine with limited compatibility with the real java. This alone will be a major blow in the java brand, where everyone will see applications breaking in every desktop while.net apps seems more stable.
On the other side you will have J++ (or whathever name they will give it) in visual studio and claim that is the same java, but will be a M$ fork designed to run with optimizations in windows machines and behavig strangely in other VM's. No one will care about this in the beginning as 90% of the desktop machines are running windows, but will split the Java community into 2, a Java for windows community and a Java cross platform community.
To make a long story short, will be the end of Java as a cross platform language/platform
for my personal use the computer must run my games.
I know, there is wine and cedega, bu I don't wnat to tune a lot of stuff to play my f*&^ing game, I want the "next" "next ", "next", "finish" approach.
I use linux to do some serious stuff at work, where I'm paid to spend my time this way.
Spending an afternoon making the OS work is not my definition of "fun".
ps: I tried to install linux at home several times, there is allways one thing that doesn't wok, video capture, video board, network, etc...
that was true at the time of java 1.1 or nowadays with a very beginner programmer.
any application using swing (using the current OS look and feel) behaves in a very similar speed as a delphi app.
if u can make a good optimized assembly code, good, but that is not what the market wants. The market wants "developer performance" (speed in the coding process),interoperability and application performance in this order.

this would be true if it were necessary 1 trainer for each linux user.
One thing that MS and most people like to forget is that trainers are necessary if you are deploying windows too.
tecnical training and support for windows are not free!!!!
u only used the basic commands of autocad.
It can be used to model en simulate true 3d projects.
I will experiment this solidworks, but your argument against autocad is false

You mean, because you cannot pirate a GPL3ed work, and we need pirates to prevent global warming?
no, pirates contribute to global warming. Everyone knows that NINJAS prevent global warming...
