Ummm...that's great and all, but where are they getting the E-books? I know that there are free ebooks out there, but aren't most specialised texts sold for money? And protected by DRM? Where are they getting these from?
They changed it a while back. And then it changed back to the old search. And then they changed it back to google. The thing I don't like about the google search is that it doesn't show the articles in the order they were posted.
I've been out of the Atari ST world for a while, but I remember people developing web browsers for them. They where single tasking computers that ran GEM and most only had 4 MB. Of course, the browsers probably weren't full featured.
I downloaded this a couple of weeks ago. I'm not an artist, but I was impressed. It had a good tutorial that walked you thru the basics. I was surprised that a.42 program had so many features.
My point is this: In the past, Microsoft has hired people away from competing companies. And now that a competing company has hired away someone from Microsoft, Microsoft is mad about it.

Microsoft...Microsoft...where have I heard that name before.....Oh right....isn't that the company that hired all those Borland employees to try to damage Borland? And isn't that the company that hired that Gentoo guy?
Just setup everything on a Mac Mini and bring it in and set it next to the Windows machine. Do a run thru of everything on the Mac. And when he says "You've already got it running!?" Just say "No. I've got to convert everything so that it works on this Windows machine here first. I just wanted to let you see a demo."

Not exactly what you're asking for, but their are some programming challenges at OSIX.net
What about Blender? Technically it is a 3d program, but it does have Bezier curves. Does that count?

According to this site http://msdn.microsoft.com/howtobuy/subscribers MSDN-Operating Systems Level is $699. To me, yes, that is lots of money.
You've obviously never seen COBOL. :-)
These tests are mainly targeted to developers and IT professionals. Thus the betas are only available to MSDN subscribers.
Shouldn't that read: These tests are mainly targeted to developers and IT professionals who have lots of money.

In Soviet Russia, the analysis details you!
....wonder when we'll see the beta of "Google Flight Simulator"....
about $250,000 ... There are no serious proposals to send any more spin-stabilized spacecraft on solar escape trajectories any time in the near future
What about using $250,000 to send another spacecraft out to investigate?

Yeah, but you can't walk around your house when you're teathered to a 20ft cord.
I couldn't be any worse than COBOL could it?
As for C# - indeed the whole .net platform - it is a very straight copy of Java.
And the idea of compiling multiple languages into one run time environment isn't new either. IBM has used it on its mainframes for years.
Microsoft...Microsoft...where have I heard that name before.....Oh right....isn't that the company that hired all those Borland employees to try to damage Borland? And isn't that the company that hired that Gentoo guy?
But what does the Visible & Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy have to do with Microsoft?

Try Opera. I don't know if you can make the zooming permanent, but the "text zoom" doesn't "break page layouts" in Opera.
Sounds like you should try Opera. :-)
run by 100000 lines of code
Wow. A car that runs on computer code instead of gas? That's great! Now I can program myself home.
(Wonder how I'll pay attention to the road while I write code though....)
This is interesting. Esp considering the recent breakup of the Disney/Pixar relationship. (Isn't Steve Jobs still a major player at Pixar?)
