Hey I think we are already using quantum computers. Computers that use the laws of classical physics to operate have to use vacuum tubes. Semiconductors are very much a product of the quantum mechanics. The effects of semiconductors where known before and used in crystal radios but where not really understood the same is true for for-example the photovoltaic effect .
I believe ms and apple have a patent sharing agreement. That apple makes fun at ms does not mean there is real animosity I think ms understands and accepts that that is part of the apple branding campaign. What is also interesting is that ms seems unafraid of the patent that real is suing apple for at the moment.
I believe in Germany it is only used for the loud laugh at at a slapstick like situation you know like you see in Americas funniest home videos and nothing else. But using a German word sometimes make things sound a bit more sinister than it really is;-)
I remember the DOJ was al lot faster and more severe than the EU they wanted to split MS up. It was the Bush administration that was a good friend to MS they probably helped to pay there campaign or somthing. Just like the oil companies that is why cyoto was turned down.

I did look it up for you see point 5
"Scheduled tasks (somewhat the equivalent of chron)doesn't need to record any passwords"
"""
Using Scheduled Tasks
To open Scheduled Tasks, click Start, click All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Scheduled Tasks.
To schedule a new task:
1. Double-click Add Scheduled Task to start the Scheduled Task Wizard, and then click Next in the first dialog box.
2. The next dialog box displays a list of programs that are installed on your computer, either as part of the Windows XP operating system, or as a result of software installation.
Use one of the following procedures:
If the program that you want to run is listed, click the program, and then click Next.
If you want to run a program, script, or document that is not listed, click Browse, click the folder and file that you want to schedule, and then click Open.
3. Type a name for the task, and then choose one of the following options:
Daily
Weekly
Monthly
One time only
When my computer starts (before a user logs on)
When I log on (only after the current user logs on)
4. Click Next, specify the information about the day and time to run the task, and then click Next.
Note that the information about the day and time to run the task vary depending on the selection that you made in the previous wizard dialog box. For example, if you chose Weekly, you must indicate the day of the week, the time, and if the task should run every week, every 2 weeks, every 3 weeks, and so on.
5. Type the name and password of the user who is associated with this task. Make sure that you choose a user with sufficient permissions to run the program. By default, the wizard selects the name of the user who is currently logged on.
6. Click Next, and then click Finish after you verify the choices that you have made.

linux is still fussy about hardware there was this little period not so long ago that that sata was a problem but that is also a windows fault as Microsoft probably has lot of influence on the hardware producers.

For theory books I think you may do better with a book that has litle to do with sql. I find Database in Depth by C.J. Date a nice theory book
"Trouble thus far? None."
Over how long a period and how do you define trouble.
That is hard to believe there is always something why else do they need us?. I am a unix fan-boy and do not know a lot of windows someone else does that. So last time we were connecting UPS's to some servers the windows guy's run into trouble I was ready first and i did take my lunch and they did not. Also I am pulling your leg a bit to I know windows is Ok now;-) but it used to be dramatic . Often windows seems a lot more complex than is needed for example cron is a lot simpler than the windows equivalent it does not need to store secret passwords and yes i have seen that go wrong and the passwords database gets corupt and it goes wrong often enough to make a nice article in ms knowledge base. The same is true for backing-up software on windows to complex to many useless features.
I see most people are saying not use a ide but do they have experience teaching or are they teachers who hate the students? What are they trying to teach, programming or patience and neatness and the memorisation of al kind of particular shit? I do have experience teaching. Using a good ide gives you a lot of precious time to really teach programming. Learning programming is difficult enough the particulars of compilers is a different course al together i think. Use somthing like drscheme or bluej and maybe even prepare some code your self that they can expiment with and change. Do not throw them in at the deep end of the swimming pool!
More logical would be that they directed the url to have a internet page hoping the ddos was using ip addresses or something. They could have just pulled the plug as nobody can find your server if are not in the dns so it did not help them. Maybe it was very stupid but not the deliberate kind of guilty like the spammers.
I like squeak if you want to have fun learning programming and are creative use squeak.
If you like math and logic and learn some theory (lambda calculus) use scheme or lisp.
if you want to make somthing that works for windows use vb.
if you want to be a system programmer learn c .
if you want to automate a workflow on a mac learn applescript.
python and ruby are very usefull and general languages.
if you....
But learn to write in a good style from the first moment. Try to disect the problem at hand in smaller problems.Try learn some theory and be always critical.
Maybe when the eu was more corrupt al this fighting will not be necessary and the eu comity can buy some nice apartment on the french riviera and all this fighting is not necessary corruption has its good points you know. For the companies that sued ms maybe they could do something else make nice cheese or nice wine or nice sports-cars and forget about that stupid computer thing who needs that that is just for working and who needs to work let the chinese and indians do the work.
I respect your opinion a lot but i think there is something else happening here too. The people that riot are not fanatics or idiots i think they they are poor people that are being manipulated by undemocratic and corrupt governments and religious leaders. I agree with Karl Marx who said "Religion is the opium of the masses"
I think the problem with fox news is not if it is biased the question is more if it is news at all. Fox news was in the news here in the Netherlands for reporting some pretty slanderous nonsens about the country i live in. There was not a bit of thruth there.
But with ejb you do not need to know.I must admit i like spring a lot more than ejb. Often real inovation does not come from the real big guys the are to bussy inventing acronyms.
As I understand it EJB does some things very nice and transparent like distributed transactions.. I see programmers were i work that do not know wat distibuded transactions are and probebly just hope for the best but some aplications need things like that and all aplications are probebly better of doing the right thing.
Yes Python is pretty good for learning (unlike perl). But explaining a while loop can get pretty hairy. Recursion is much simpler to explain.;-) (a Joke with a lot of truth in it)
Complex applications like zope do not exist in perl . It seems to me like perl is at a standstill at the moment there is al lot of innovative language development going on in python perl6 on the other-hand........

I think a security expert needing some attention mentions Apple. I think being vague is probably motivated by some dishonesty.

That is probably because the boxes are doing nothing yet. I guarantee when you are starting to use them it you get in lot of trouble with windows.
Because it's Slashot people here understand computers. That is why we have nothing positive to say about Windows.
