I hate to say it, but Microsoft has some great debuggers
Why hate Microsoft? They should have some great debuggers - they're in the business of writing tens of thousands of lines of source per day, some of which isn't going to be perfect. They've got the knowledge and expertise, and most of the people working there are a lot like you and I, it's just that their business ideology is to mostly focus on the desktop market, and Windows etc reflects an operating system for a normal person to use.
You can also thank them for making an awesome IDE.
Just throwing this out there, are there any fundamentalist Christians out there who think that evolution inherently incorrect and this test is just a scientific oddity? What about the Miller-Urey expiriment?
I started with BASIC when I was 10, moved on to C++ when I was 14 and got invited down into my nations capital twice for a school of excellence. At my school, this isn't rare. My mentors before me both did similiar things, and have both ended up going to the IOI. I'm hoping to reach that level but whether I do I don't know.
The problem is that my school is a private one, where we have oodles of P4's with Visual Studio.NET. Visual Basic is taught to everyone, and those that one to go on to more can just sign up and come after school for an hour and a half, and then go up to our private campsite at the end of a term and write PacMan or Space Invaders or something nice and simple like that. Public schools don't have those sort of resources, and it's sad to see people miss out. Some of my public-school friends have what it takes to become programmers. It's a shame to see they don't.
Write it yourself. Grab the Microsoft Speech SDK and WINE or some suitable interoperatibility layer and you should be good for Windows and Linux. The Microsoft Speech SDK doesn't require oodles of code to make it work, so you should be able to get a working sample under Windows in about half an hour. It comes with some rudimentry samples as well, and since it's not released under any particularly binding license you can just build your code around it.
'Course you could go the other way with some Open Source speech recognition and cygwin or similiar.
Thank God somebody is doing something about these violent videogames! Thanks to violent videogames, I've murdered 0 people, and am on a degenerative track to murder another 0 more by the end of my gaming life.
In summary, it's all personal responsibility:
Remember, here in the U.S.A, we have reached a new age.
NOBODY is responsible for their own actions.
Remember that.
Holy shit! I killed somebody! Bob made me do it!

It works fine. GMail runs smoothly, Outlook Web Access runs smoothly. IE7 is just IE6 + more features and better CSS support.
And they're using the standard HTTP request object now, not the MS* one.
How about neither? The certification mentioned in the article is used for mission-critical applications. Windows doesn't have it, Linux doesn't have it. Proprietary OS's power stuff like that.
The article says it allows for better integration into mission critical applications. However, I don't see this happening.
Realistically, mission-critical developers aren't going to trust code written by the public, certified or not. There's no responsibility to the developers if something goes wrong with that code.
Isn't this a general trend? Western companies have a hard time starting up over in Asia. KFC/Nike/etc have just begun to crack the Chinese markets, so it's no surprise (to me) that other companies have had trouble in Japan.
Take Microsoft and the Xbox for example. Playstation has had a good reception outside of Japan, but not vice versa.
There's only so much you can reasonably do with a web app before it becomes more feasible to make it a proper application. Wait for the day when we have a real programming language (Read: C/C++) as script, instead of Javascript, and then you'll see how powerful the internet really is.
I'd like for Microsoft to win this, be eligible to sue the EU for several billion dollars more than what the EU can get off Microsoft, and then all sides play by the rules for the rest of the debacle.
I meant the stress that people thrive on. 'Non-consequential' stress, where if you screw up it's not the end of your world. Bad stress is where if you stuff up, you lose your job, your income, your family needs to borrow money etc.
What about the other people that thrive on working to deadlines and with demanding workloads? I'm sure there are many professions that are very stressful that require people to keep themselves 'sharp' and alert at all times.
Or is there a difference between positive and negative stress against the brain?
I don't understand where this would be useful. In a clinic dealing with patients who don't speak English as a first language, yes, but at the practice I go to they already have Chinese/English speaking doctors, as well as several others who are multilingual, which works fine.
It looks useful on paper, but in reality I think it will just be an extra expense for very little return.
Wouldn't variable bit rate be a solution? Newscasts etc could be done at 1mbit/s popping up to 4mbit/s for scene changes/live footage etc, while 'action' shows (sport etc) where codecs don't go so well with constantly changing content could use 2mbit/s up to 6mbit/s. Admittedly, sports would probably be in highest demand.

It was done automatically. Check out his profile. I thought it peculiar because it was actually quite a useful post.

FCKEditor is a much more mature and much better editor.

In Soviet Russia, joke tires of you!
I don't get it. Columbia was 2003, Challenger was 1986 (year?)

I'd recommend starting with a generic Wiki (MediaWiki?), and then editing it to suit your purposes.
