"However, rather than debate the definition of a "functional programming language," we will allow submitted programs to be written in any language whatsoever, as long as it has an implementation for Pentium PCs running Linux (Red Hat 6.2)."
You could probably run it through wine or something but AFAIK there's no VB implementation for Red Hat. Give Borland 10 years and you might be able to use Delphi.
For quickest implementation, looks like JAVA might take the cake. Devel it in a Win32 or Linux GUI and in theory it should work on RH6.2 without a hitch. Too bad speed is important too. *grin*
My feeling exactly. All that time, energy & money burnt up is crazy. THEY ARE STILL USEFUL!!!!Do you know how many people that could feed and extend poverty suffering according to Sally Struthers?
3333333.3333333333333333333333333 people for 5 years! (check my math - $30/month)
Good point - if they couldn't get something as trivial as a business plan & sales working properly, what makes us safe from plummeting satelites - just think of the poor martians on mars where they have no atmosphere to burn them up. With my luck, they'll all find the 'window' into our atmosphere and descend at the right angle & speed as not to burn up & land on my car.
If the price to own & use one hadn't been so ungodly, I would have purchased one. Not that I can take advantage of the usefulness driving on the highway in Canada but I live close to the mountains where the cell phones just don't cut it & it'd be nice to have a means of communication with help & family.
Speaking of which:
CANTEL SUCKS!!!! Can'Tel if it's going to work or not.
An co-worker pointed out something interesting (to me) about the whole mars thing: Each satelite that was supposed to re-photograph mars in hi-res has crashed. Only the low-res (Pathfinder) made it. Any conspiracy junkies out there??
BTW, why the "Elitist" attitude towards those who don't play UT 24/7? Must we separate ourselves from others just to say we are cooler(geekier)/better/31337? And yes by saying that I'm a hypocrit.
They had this exact thing in a Maxim or something a month or two ago. This is news is history.
I ordered the plans for an ultra light from PopSci:) It's partially built (ribs & spars & the elevator is put together) but I was 16 at the time and low on $$$ to finish it (but I did have an adult who knew what he was doing helping me)... One day I will complete it and crash into my old highschool instead of water bombing it like i had planned:) Heh, I even had the Estes rocket launching pad all figured out....those were the good ole days when all I had to worry about was getting a good seat behind one of the many good looking girls in class.
Often I just use bablefish & translate from German to English when I get an "Eguard" blocking notice...but I don't get the handy dandy banner ads (oh darn). This akamai thing works much better:P~~
Sooo, today I used th akamai thing to access the peacefire doc on how to use the akamai thing:)
Basically, I'm too lazy to make my own "site anonymizer" and run it off my system at home which would be dead simple. Usually If I can't see some interesting tidbit at work, I just wait till I get home.
Umm...if they're playing games, they're obviously not a "non-gamer". Everyone plays games wether it be politics, golf or UT. It all caters to entertaining your mind.
I 4 1 am one of those first person gamers - UT, Qx, DOOM][, Descent, etc... and I LOVE Mario Kart!!! It is living room deathmatch for the whole family - no blood/guts and the computer cheats in the not so skilled players favor so they aren't completely left behind in the dust.
This is where the "set top box" always lacks - no user customization or creative input i.e. you can't add new levels designed by the amazingly creative minds that design for Q/UT/DOOM and you are stuck with whatever the N developers make.
(mario paint doesnt count so don't even bother).
They definitely need to allow for multiple display o/p...cramming 4 people on one 25" TV is a pain.
Feature wise, set top boxes always lack so I will most likely purchase a computer upgrade instead of an N^3/PSX2/etc... and yes I realize they are great for the computer illeterate (if that even makes sense).
I've been using babelfish to get the content & formatting:) Convert from German to English is usually a good call. IMG's dont' appear kuz babelfish doesn't change that in the HTML it sends your browser.
Well, If the kid has the game, he can play it with or without your server so it wouldn't matter a rats ass. "Adult Check" would be redundant. His/Her parents have agreed that their child was mentally stable enough to play the game without going around shooting people.
1. This site is apparently selling documents which (some/all?) are available free. Not really criminal but sneaky, underhanded & not in the best interst of the consumer. Free information is great as long as you don't hafta pay for it;)
2. They are claiming they own content they have never written and that they own the copyright. Napster users trade music, they don't claim they created it.
3. You've just accused us all of music piracy. I am completely within my rights to have an MP3 copy of a song I have purchased as long as I am not selling/redistributing it and only have one instance of that song playing at a time on whatever platform I please, wherever the hell I please.
A somwhat useable RS4 implementation with vbscript If you search the site for the word "encryption" there are a few follow-up articles that you should check out as well if yer into that sort of thing.
Forget the OS period. I didn't exempt M$ from anything their product was designed to do. The drivers for each of those O/S's should be supplied by the creator of the product (h/w)...or do you want M$ to be creating drivers for MacOS etc... as well? (God...that'd be a stable system...)
If you want to install additional devices, the drivers should be distributed with the H/W. It is the h/w manufacturer's responsiblity to provide a working interface to a current system for the their product. A TON of h/w is designed and manufactured AFTER the O/S is distributed.
Put another way, If you make a hack device for yer pc, it isn't M$'s job to make drivers for the o/s to interface with it. It is up to you.
If Nortel makes a new phone it is their responsibility to create an interface that works with the current phone system. It isn't the current phone company's place to go around creating drivers for every 3rd party that crops up.
How can you possibly justify it isn't the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide an interface for their product?
"Standard USB" was foreign to ANYTHING back when W95 was released. Yes, M$ is a s/w maker but it is not their responsibility to make s/w for 3rd party H/W, especially when that H/W was designed & sold to the masses YEARS after their product was released. Next you'll tell me that M$ is responsible for making an IE3 PDF plugin so I can read the damn annoying things. Adobe created one for me so that I can use their product. Just as your H/w supplier should have given you drivers so you could use their product. It's just common sense IMHO.
How can you possibly blame M$? You should have received drivers with your h/w. Why should they be expected to supply drivers for 3rd party h/w? If I purchase a musical horn for my car, the vehicle manufacturer sure as hell isn't responsible for making sure the horn's mounting brackets are up to standard and wiring interfaces properly.
My GeForce, Modem, NIC, burner, CDROM and Monitor all came with their own drivers FROM THE MANUFACTURER. Are you saying M$ should have supplied those too?
Anyway you have the patches for 95 to have USB support so use 'em. If that isn't "viable" perhaps you should look at another O/S...Hmm..how about Linux? It seems to be the fav. of M$ bashing Zealots. USB for Linux
Perhaps you can purchase some common sense with the "auto +3 for bashing M$" karma. Just because a product doesn't have exactly what you want doesn't mean they are using copyright to control you. If that were the case, any s/w you pay for to get an upgrade or added feature would be immoral in your world.
had they jumped on it in the beginning, there wouldn't be much to charge for and then we would have revolted and changed the linking structure to say 3 parts (protocol, address & text) and they'd lose out on screwing us. Now that there are x billion pages out there all they have to do is harvest the $$$.
Does *nix allow linked files? (I know Linux does) Can anyone slap a date down when Unix first began using linked files? Does it pre-date this BT crap? I'm just guessing the different flavours of *nix have this ability.
Does anyone remember gopher & how it worked? I seem to remember hearing it used hypertext to navigate but I can't remember & haven't used it.
Heck, even Windows Explorer uses this type of technology. I use the KB to get to "C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32", find an important looking ".DLL" file with the arrow keys and then hit "DEL" and I am returned with the blue screen of death;) Actually, it would seem this patent covers any sort of GUI manipulation with they keyboard.
Regardless of that, DON'T USE YOUR KEYBOARD. Only click on links with your mouse and you are fine. Heh...Include a disclaimer such as "These links are mouse compatible only. Any cracking of this URL with a keyboard is done soley (sp?) at your discretion"

The theory goes like this: Register in MTS for scalability and stability under heavy load. If you keep your component running inproc with IIS, if it blows up it takes out your webservice too. However if it is running under MTS, it is handled & everything keeps running smoothly.
