I'm not talking about an intership, CO-OP or other short term thing. A full fledged project with real, tangible consequences.
Co-ops are short term? I've co-oped for 7 semesters...written thousands of lines of code on 3 different projects (all of which are being used daily). I worked on one of those projects for 2 or 3 years until it became something fairly impressive, and is an integral part of my department's operations.
2 semesters ago I did Senior Design, which is what you're talking about...a company (or professor, in my case) needing a piece of software, and a group planning and implementing it from the ground up. It was a useful class, but pales in comparison to my co-op experience.

Ask mc chris

I'm in the "you can't spell 'crap' without 'rap'" category, but mc chris is awesome. It's not like "I'm a serious rapper," it's "I'm going to be funny and rap about boba fett and friendster and getting beat up by the cool kids and make references to Reggie and the Full Effect and Weezer." It's definitely dork humor, and is quite excellent. Also you should buy the aqua teen hunger force dvds if you haven't yet, it's almost the only reason i'll turn on a tv.
not gonna look up the lyrics at the moment, but one gem from "White Kids Love Hip-Hop" is a shoutout "to my nilla wiggas/packing peters measured in millimeters"
"just copy and paste it like adobe photoshop"
"the sith wish they had a dick so hard/cause it was a long time ago and a pussy far far"
We started at GT the same semester, we were actually paired up for the two day freshman orientation. Talked way more than I could handle, but nice guy.
I'm just surprised nobody's mentioned the trouble with Blackboard...I know there were multiple/. posts about the affair
I really meant in a personal sense...I learned MFC fairly recently, released software using it....but no more. And it is a joy. I've migrated away from desktop linux to windows and mac (linux remains on the server), so even though I've always been a big KDE fan, Qt4 hasn't really been on my radar very much. Now I can't wait.
first off, it looks like this is STILL some crappy service a la itunes:
"MP3tunes will use a service or tool called 'MP3beamer', which Robertson said would reconcile the need to store music in a centralized file store with the ability to play back the music anywhere, on any device. He declined to comment further."
Store music in a centralized file store? No, thanks. Give me audiolunchbox over an "mp3beamer" any day. I <3 192kbit mp3 downloads where the artists actually get paid.
not to mention that audiolunchbox actually has GOOD artists instead of mainstream drivel...a few I like: InterpolNoise RatchetThe Anniversary.hopesfall.Hot Water MusicGrade...the list goes on and on, and I don't really like a lot of different music. They give you zip file downloads of whole cds, with included cover art...ogg files on a lot of cds...
anyway, something to check out. I'm not a shill for ALB, just a fan.
I just got my ngage qd last week for $175, with a $200 rebate. It came with tony hawk.
playstation 1 graphics, a bit too small to be comfortable for long periods of playtime.
However, it was cheaper than my 3650 (which I got for $300 with $300 in rebates) while being basically the same phone (minus a camera that I never use) and it actually has some good games. Tony hawk is good, tomb raider isn't bad for some nostalgia, and rayman 3 is excellent, as all rayman games are. Even my old series 60 favorite Bounce is easier to play...the screen is brighter and nicer.
I know the "system" never caught on and prolly never will, but for somebody who needs a phone and occassionally would like to kill a few minutes with a game, it's really quite excellent.
Also you really don't need a hefty machine to run it like people are saying, it worked fine on my second machine which is a gut-busting 1.2GHz.
The crafting is a complete game in itself for those people (like myself) who like to make everything. The fact that you can lvl and branch out as an artisan seperate to your fighting profession just doubles the fun. If you get bored of running around fighting npc's, you can go craft yourself some new armour/spells/weapons/etc... And you don't need to rely on ANYONE to be able to do it.
You're recommending EQ2 over WoW, and listing things that WoW has.
And if you're a troll and he's a dwarf, you're opposing factions...you're not supposed to be able to meet up.
Wake up and smell the coffee, Anonymous Coward. Sexual discrimination is the rule, not the exception. A woman with the same qualifications as the male coworker doesn't get promoted, and a woman doing the same job as a man gets paid less. This is the truth.
you are talking about averages, yes? ON AVERAGE, a woman with the same qualifications.... etc etc. That is true. It is also true that ON AVERAGE, women are not willing to devote their whole lives to a job. on average, women do not work 60 to 80 hour weeks just to get ahead. on average, women place more value on family time and children than getting ahead in a job. yes, men get paid more and get promoted more, that's because men are the psychos that will spend all of their time and energy at work, trying to get a leg up.
so what you're saying is that mixing "real C++" and "C with classes C++" is bad. Mostly. Yes, I agree. Of course, I don't think that in most cases you should use C-isms at all.
I say if you want to use C, then use C. If you want to use C++, then use the standard library, use streams, use references, use exceptions, and you'll get out better code more efficiently.
Note: if you use ALL the techniques of C++ in your programs at the same time, then you are not a good programmer, period.
explanation please. I don't know that I buy that.
One feature of C++ that I can think of that's probably not so good to use is RTTI, or at least using RTTI to dynamic_cast an object to do different actions based on what it is. It seems to me that that's bad OO design.
Regardless, I don't see any way that your statement could be true.
Bush has been cutting taxes on WEALTH (interest, dividends, investments) not on WAGES
Um....I have no wealth (College student with loans), but I make a resonable amount of money, and I have definitely seen a reduction in my taxes. I'm not a fan of getting refunds, I don't like making interest-free loans to the gov't, but this past year my refund was waaay beyond every previous year, even though my wages didn't increase very much.
try putting a cout statement in a constructor, and write a function that takes an object as a parameter and returns that object. Count how many you see. Its more than 1.
I read this, realized you must have done this, realized you don't know the first thing about C++, and realized I should stop reading.
So I did.
(if you care to know why, look up references (&), and while you're at it learn about const.)
If you try to code C++ using the same methods, techniques, and constructs as you use to code C...then you're not a good C++ programmer. C++ does borrow massive amounts of C, yes, but they are definitely distinct languages.
Wake me up when they get anywhere close to orbit and the associated huge technical hurdles that SS1 doesn't even come close to addressing.
I know people like to refer to it as a stopping point, but what sort of stopping point is a craft built of epoxy with a heavy 250 ISP engine? Exactly what are they going to reuse - the ship's computer?
story after story you keep on posting this, and yet you don't prove it and nobody's backed you up. Nobody's gone against you either, of course, at least that I've seen.

I saw the exact same thing...was very confused
Ended up playing them under WMP, sadly

since qmail isn't open source, it was a little bit more difficult to find this:
19960124 qmail 0.70, beta
19961221 qmail 0.95, gamma
so 2 = releases = 25 within the first year
perhaps you were just joking

Sure, in the rosy colored picture of the world, we'd somehow get uncompressed audio with no DRM
try Audio Lunchbox
not only are they high-quality mp3s and oggs, but they actually have good music that doesn't come from the RIAA.
psssh, I've been so busy playing wow I didn't even know it existed.
what are we talking about again?

I dropped netflix for WoW....I can get many more hours of entertainment from wow every month for $3 less....
no, es&s is one of the two with connections to the brothers.
I have been reading today that there are Pharmacists in the US that refuse to prescribe the contraceptive pill to women.
I've never heard of anything like that....and I live in the South...
How would you feel if your daughter fell pregnant at 17, because she couldn't get the contraceptive pill
There is a simple solution to that, I promise. If she doesn't want the consequences then she shouldn't be taking the risk.

And another HALF TRILLION is going to be added next year and the year after that if Bush is returned to office.
If he returns to office he'll stop caring about this "bi-partisan" crap and start cutting liberal handout programs. At least, we can hope so.
loss of high paying jobs
Like...the factory workers?

Let's see some more details
want pedantic and nerdy?
There is no such thing as a US "penny", it is a one "cent" piece.
If i'm not mistaken, "penny" has something to do with "pence", but somebody more britishy than me shall have to confirm.
you mean something like
for i in `seq 20`; do dd if=/dev/random of=file$i bs=5M count=100; done
?
