Maybe FOSS should stop being like PETA and, instead, tell people why it's *good* to use FOSS. Why Linux is *better* than Windows, GiMP is *better* than Photoshop, OpenOffice is *better* than MS Office. And maybe people will listen. But if you insult their software and tell them to use something else, they won't be very open to the idea.
Too hard, and in some cases impossible. Anyone who has used both 3D Studio Max and Blender will laugh in your face if you try and tell them Blender is an overall better piece of software to use.
If it's a public school, then yes. Parents frequently demonstrate they lack rational judgement. When it involves the future of not just their own child but other children too, irrational choices based on personal preferences and beliefs should not be allowed. If its a private school... well, they make that choice when they enroll their children.
You don't weigh any less in water, but someone "picking you up" or "carrying" you while in water is aided by the fact that people are buoyant. I can guarantee that a 400lb metal box is not buoyant in the slightest.
As far as I know, the habit of uploading torrents composed of a multipart RAR is that the "source" of those parts usually comes from those sites that allow anonymous users to upload files up to a certain size. So the "true" pirates, the ones that do the actual release to web of the game/software/whatever, will upload it to a direct hosting site in small chunks. The torrent author is just not smart enough to upload *after* unpacking the RARs.
This suit is ridiculous. It reminds me of the suit a while back against "the big four" (IIRC), because they were "violating the DMCA by not using our product".
That doesn't work.
The cashier's screen shows the SKU/UPC, abbreviated description, and price of each item on all self-checkout lanes attached to that cashier's station (usually 4). Unless the cashier is very green, or distracted by another customer, you will certainly get caught.
However, scuffing up the barcode on an expensive bottle of wine that looks very similar to a cheap bottle, and buying both by trying to scan the damaged barcode on the expensive bottle, which won't work with the machine, then typing in the UPC on the cheap bottle...that one might work, although again a veteran cashier will catch it instantly.
These are not the keywords you are looking for...
...The keywords you are looking for are "virtual" and "abstract". "Override" is for overriding a virtual or abstract member.
My Saitek Gaming Keyboard has a top that separates from the bottom by simply removing a few screws, and the top has no electronics and is sealed from the bottom part. So the top (key part) can be washed without the need to spend a week drying it. Pretty cool design in my opinion.
I "work cash registers" at a major retail chain, and I would just like to point out that the"get identity stolen" idea is complete paranoia. Cashiers that are dishonest don't remain cashiers for long.
I've asked for, and been given, hundreds of social security numbers for the purposes of looking up an account number for a customer that doesn't have their card, but wants to charge the purchase to their account anyway. Not a single one of those customers has ever refused to give me their social. I've also had to get lots of other information from customers, including phone numbers, addresses, ID/DL numbers for checks, etc. Seems like its about 1 customer every 2-3 months who will refuse to give me their phone number or address, in which case it goes down on the check as "unlisted" anyway.
The "problem" is that people are usually very willing to trust other people. This is part of the reason that phishing scams have been so successful.
Someone did something similar to this at the store where I work.
Guy bought a $400 LCD TV, went out. Then came back and returned it, saying it wouldn't fit in his car. Then, a few hours later, he comes back in and just takes the cart that the TV was still sitting in near the returns desk (which is near the front door), and just walks out.
The TV should not have even been left sitting for more than a few minutes before being re-secured and put back on the shelf, however that's not the point of this story: this guy had some guts to pull something off like that.
It has to do with many things.
Readability is one, refactoring is another. Its much easier to refactor a symbol that is used for both get/set than having to refactor two seperate methods (that are only different from other non-getter/setter methods due to their name).
Really though, its the readability of the getter/setter declaration..
C# example:
private string _MyName;
public string MyName
{
get
{
return this._MyName;
}
set
{
if (value != string.Empty)
{
this._MyName = value;
}
}
}
Java form:
private string _MyName;
public string getMyName()
{
return this._MyName;
}
public void setMyName(string value)
{
if (value != "")
{
this._MyName = value;
}
}
But, its a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation for Microsoft. If they had "locked down" anything, people would be barking up their tree about lack of interoperability.

Well, everyone knows NASA doesn't make mistakes. Oh, wait...
Don't forget to round up to the $50 mark.
Maybe its time for Folding@on-the-go.
Those are called plugins.

Don't you mean *ridiculous* ?

Hey, give him a break. He's obviously been working hard performing quality-control checking of the output of this new contraption.
Wouldn't they then have a PC and a WC?

It should. But then slashdot would vanish in a puff of logic.
Ok, /. chowed on my code, oh well. Someone who isnt new here will have to post some readable code to illustrate what my point is here.

Before you can design the hardware, you have to make, by hand, the paper the schematic is drawn on.
But, its a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation for Microsoft. If they had "locked down" anything, people would be barking up their tree about lack of interoperability.
It's definately Microsoft's fault. I read it as "porn poms" as well, and I think it was due to ClearType.
