I fully agree, but ofcourse there are always exceptions.. If you need code that runs fast then it can be better to just copy&Paste (which isn't something people seem to care about these days anymore, and then complain about having to need a faster computer every now and then just to run the same kind of program).
this is ofcourse still up for heavy debate.. the conclusion is based on some statements that because other scientists can't replicate it without the help of the professor it would be misconduct.. Maybe all the other scientists just don't understand the 'problem'.. because you don't know how something works (even with full documentation) doesn't mean it is impossible.. If this guy had a trackrecord of 'misconduct' then it would propably be something else, but he hasn't...
why not just build one new shuttle based on the current one (with some modernisation).. should be much cheaper to build now and it's design has a proven trackrecord..
[i]The per-layer capacity is 25GB, the same as that of a Blu-ray Disc, and the multilayer technology will also be applicable to multilayer recordable discs[/i]
yeah well, maybe it's because the disc the article is referring to IS a 16 layers Blu-ray disc...
Even if the bugger can get 235mpg, if the car looks that ugly who want's to drive it anyway? That's the biggest problem with al these 'eco'cars, they are so ugly you wouldn't want to be caught dead in one..
I use good old Turbo pascal colors (or like it): Mostly VB6, but all the IDE's I use I try to set it to the same color
background = (dark)blue
normaltext = grey/silver
Comment = teal
keywords = yellow
identifiers = white
Syntaxerror = Yellow text, red background
And I'm using 'Fixed Sys' always as font..
(The reason I use Teal for comments is because that color makes it a bit dissappear into the background, so you know exactly what is code and what is comments)..
Uhmm.. I'm also from the netherlands, and the most laughing quote you make is: 'Then competent people (the politicians)', OMG you really are serious with that one..
If there are people who don't know jack, it's the politicians.. the only thing they understand is the best way NOT to listen to the public... Why do you think politicians are competent people, as we can clearly see in the Netherlands they aren't.. And if you really look close to 'what they stand for' when you cast your vote, and look what they really do after they win, then you see that it's nothing they promised...
Politicians are good at spending money at meaningless things and at commitee's trying to find out stuff which we the public already know.. comeone, if they can't even stop the constantly moving between brussel and that other place (I forgot it's name, i think it was strassburg) because some country want's it, then you know they aren't any good or competent (yeah they are good and competent at wasting money).. and let's not forget we dutchies are the ones that pay the most to the EU, but get the least return on it..
IMHO since the US requires us to hand over our fingerprint and photo's, and now want access to our private files, we as the EU should also do the same with US (even if we don't do anything with it), I wonder how many US citizens will start complaining (just like a few years ago with that southamerican country who did the same)..
[i] The irony, of course, is that if they actually get jobs in the sector, this will be how they actually work anyway.[/i]
what kind of BS is that? if they actually get jobs in the sector they will fall flat on their noses as they cannot do what is asked.. outsourcing is not done by programmers, but by managers...
As an SUV owner myself I don't mind it at all, the current slew of SUV's are buttugly anyway (seem to look more like a sportscar which was overflated)..
But one thing I can't imagine is why they won't turn a SUV into a hybrid or fuelcell alltogether.. An SUV has way more room for the batteries (remember the big gasolinetank or the big engine compartment).. Mister Terminator himself got an electric Humvee, my god would I like to have that one.. Also one thing that's propably easier is converting an old SUV into an electric car, because of the room it can have..
I'm glad I don't have to drive such an ugly little car, but then again, everyone has his/her own taste.. I like my SUV (96 Jeep Cherokee 2.5 which runs on LPG hehe)
Most articles which are basing it on the original japanese media article have read/interpreted the original article false.
Toshiba claims to Enhance the current dvd's to a picture which is comparable to Bluray, or in simple terms an 'uberupscaler'... So they devised some special 'magical' algorithms which can enhance a 720x480 image to '1920x1080' with almost no difference as to an original '1920x1080' image.. this could ofcourse be possible if you have enough processingpower, which is propably what the Cell processor is for...
Well, Revision3 hasn't been competent also for even allowing the injection of illegal torrents... But ofcourse, Mediadefender's software is at fault too.. I don't care if mediadefender adds fubar torrents to illegal torrentsites, the sites themselves are at fault anyway.. and I also don't mind mediadefender dossing illegal torrentsites.. BUT mediadefender should at least make sure before dossing a site that the site is actually illegal and not by some faulty configuration..
Well, that's the problem with all programming-tech these days, once you learned it, it's already replaced with some newer fab.. Just stick to the old much used/aproved techniques and you are better off.. But let's not forget, a lot of people just follow the flow because it's hip and dumb managers like 'hip' keywords..
and everything that is written on the internet is true... this article seems to me just one big BS.. unless it is really confirmed I cannot believe articles like these which only seem to discredit some companies some people hate, and really doesn't have any logic to it.. But then again, too many people just believe everything that is written on the internet..
I guess you aren't thinking clearly yourself.. It's already proven that there are enough people who are sensitive for these kinds of signals, which will give them headaches and other physical symptons if they are near those signals, and since you can't even see the signals that means those people can't be faking it because they see some telly.. So I think there is a big difference between your aunts tv and those people's wifisignals.. and let's not forget, the right signalfrequency can destroy the cells in a persons body, and those are just signals, so without a real good studie into longterm effects you cannot say that wifisignals are harmless..
I find some reactions a bit off, as those people can't imagine unnecessary signals to be a problem to some people..
I can imagine such people having problems with wifi-signals (and therefore also some other signals), and for those people it's very inconvenient to have to go through such signals.. Wifi isn't really necessary, but some people are so used to going everywhere with everything that they cannot live without it, it's an addiction so to say.. So instead of dumb comments try to imagine what those people have to live with, oh but I guess that's too difficult because your brain is getting fried by wifi signals (There still isn't good research done on the longterm effects of wifi signals, just to remember you that a long time ago smoking was also believed to be harmless, and living under powercables would also be no problemen, and asbestos was also no problem, and now we luckily know better)
BECTA claimed that the OOXML format discourages competition
And how would that discourage competition? ISO-standard doesn't mean you have to use it, it just means it is a standard.. You don't HAVE to use the format if you don't want to.. I really don't understand the fuzz, I personally hate XML based formats because they are SOOOOOO inefficient in space, but I do know that people bitch if you don't use one 'generic' format because their program can't read it.. Now MS has put out a format (which they can't easily change now since it's ISO, they can only extend it) so a lot of programs can use it for their own benefit.. Look at the opensource alternative, ODF, it was to become a standard until the initialdevelopers dropped it all together, so that's also a format you can't use..
The reason MS propably is still using Flash a lot is the fact that Silverlight still isn't supported on a lot of platforms, also it takes a while(and money) to 'convert' your website from flash to silverlight..
Well, the whole article is full of holes, as everything the writers says also applies to programming for OSX, it's up to the programmer.. These days more and more vulnerabilities/bugs are found on OS-X because it's getting used a bit more.. The only plus (which is also the biggest negative) of Apple's is there is just not much hardware it has to keep in mind.. And let's not forget, the biggest motto of Apple's boss Steve Jobs is: Let's ripp off everything and sell it as we are the first ones.. Steve Jobs is one of the biggest asshole on the planet...
OMG you must be a stereotype american (stereotype in the eyes of us europeans).
'Without the USA the world would starve'? you really must be kidding.. You guys import more than export..
And maybe just maybe you are the most charitable nation (which I very much doubt) because charity is a writeoff in your country..
'Who do you think funds MOST of the UN activities?' Well certainly not the US, who only paid their contribution when they needed help to invade Iraq.. I guess the UN would even run better without the bossy US..
Which country has the biggest debt to the worldbank? yep it's the US..
I guess you are just such a moron American like your president Bush, who is too stupid to think.. Redneck is a term that comes to mind, and that's a typical american word which describes you best I guess.. Thank god there are enough decent americans out there, and let's hope miss Clinton will win the next election...
Before the USA can say one thing to any other country about nuclear weapons, dump yours before bitching about others.. I'm, not fond of countries like Iran or Syria having nuclear weapons, but they have just as much right to them as the USA, which was the first and only country to actually use them on a civilian target with a lot of innocent lives lost when it wasn't necessary..
Excluding microsoft from sales (hmm altough then they just go through some other person) is only hurting the EU itself, a lot of systems/users are using Microsoft products, and replacing all those programs and educating users would costs sooooo much more. I'd rather have them just buy MS products then spend money on projects which end up in failures anyway.. Linux isn't the best system there is..
I wonder why they choose only to go with paypal.. At least for me that would mean no more buying via eBay.. I don't have a paypal account, and I'm not planning on getting myself a paypal account..
Even with a million REAL petions I can't imagine him stopping making movies.
And as a movielover I must say that I personally don't want him to stop making movies. His movies aren't the best there are, but I've seen much worse movies from bigtime directors. One thing IMHO his movies are certainly is entertaining. From first hand experience I can tell you that a lot of people are complaining about Uwe Boll's movies without even having seen one scene or let alone a whole movie by him..
People should just shut up and not watch the movie if they think it's bad, but don't start bitching about it because you don't like it..
As I said, there are so many other movies that are far FAR worse as Uwe's movies..
Yeah, right, islam sites promoting violence against the west aren't taken down.. As a dutchie I stand behind Wilders if his film stays with the facts.. It's ridiculous that even islamcountries are threathening the Netherlands because of some shortfilm which nobody even has seen with voilence, well, I say let worldwar begin if they actually use violence, as I'm fed up with other countries telling us what to do, get real.. Religion should be banned if it was up to me, as it has never ever did anybody any good. No politics should be based on any kind of religion, there shouldn't be any christion,jew, muslim or whatever, there should only be people..
Clicking a link which looks like a link to something illegal but isn't linked anything illegal, isn't illegal. I can't imagine it holding up in court, and only would mean it was an illegal search..
