Two points: I'll get dinged now and then, but it doesn't take long to get back to 50. I really don't worry about it. Who cares if your karma is maxed or not.
And I don't think the percentage deal would be good. I'll often make quick responses like this one that add to the discussion but I don't really feel deserve any more karma. If it really were a percentage, then
a) you would get karma whorers again
b) you would have less content on/.
I think/. would suffer in quality (kinda hard to image, right:) if people were encouraged not to post. A ratio of up to down gets rid of this, but still encourages whoring.
favourably at ~ $50 compared to several hundred for the windows version
I picked up VV9 at Costco for $30USD. That inluded the headset. I was durprised when I saw it too, since a few months earlier it was $200, but I think the bottom dropped out on the cost.
On desktops, I'd agree with you. But you don't have a lot of choice over the software you get on a phone, and if a phone standard emerges, then other portable devices fall in line (e.g. the numebr of WML browsers for the Palm). This may take off in the arena it was designed for. If it is reasonable quality without making machines choke, then it may have some (small) impact on the desktop too.
Kids are both bad at thinking through the consequences of having such a technology and typically unable to dictate to their parents how they can be monitored. If anything, parents being able to better spy on their kids would make these things catch on more.

They are still a commercial venture, right? I don't think it would be a good idea for such a nascent company to hand potential competitors this information. It's a tough balance.
If they are public, then their quarterly revenue may give you some idea of the subscription level.
Even that isn't necessarily illigitamate, I may play Quake with my neighbour. You would have to do packet analysis to ensure that they are using it as a gateway. I'm not too up on the wireless encryption, my understadning is that it is crackable, but later versions should be better, and thus there will be no way of figuring this out. I'm with the peopl ehere who say that there should be metering. I don't think people minded metering so much as the insane prices attached. Even if you charge $3/GB, it'll make people unwilling to share with the neighbours.
No he's right. You are right that the 5KB is raw data: that's what he is saying. But the difference between whether it's compressed by the server or compressed by the modem is abstract: there are cases where one is better than the other. But, for the most part, compressing it on the server is slightly better than letting it compress downstream, plus it can increase your bandwidth (which is what the article was talking about) and the speed of transit before it gets to the modem-to-modem link, so it is worth doing.
Even better would be to have it so a single click of the wheel would go a level down, doing the bloop. I like the wake idea too. Maybe have a small ripple effect on the window you are going through.
You can go back up by shaking the mouse or some other gesture.
This isn't right. C can do truely multidimensional arrays. If you say char[30][20] x it does one allocation of 600 contiguous bytes. When you use the array like x[10][10] it computes the full offset as in Pascal and BASIC, and then does a single pointer add. Here is an ok page that talks about C multidimensioned arrays.
But Java and C# don't actually let you have jagged multidimentional arrays like this. They have like you said in your first post, an array of pointers, which is valid in C. One wonders what the writer of the article thinks argv is (typed char*argv[])

Gamecube Hits US Early
·
· Score: 4, Informative
From the article:
Nintendo has started shipping GameCubes. (YES!) This is a week earlier than was anticipated. While some stores claim to have been told by their corporate liasons to Nintendo that they will be fined if they sell early, this appears to not be the case.
Nintendo has told us that stores are free to sell the GameCube as soon as it arrives, in order to get a jump on the X-Box launching on Thursday. They also said that no store would be fined for breaking the release date.
There's actually a lot of really good information in the article.
It's hard to beat the Mario Party series for multiplayer fun. The fact that each turn has different people on different teams, or against each other help make it so that no one person gets too upset at another.
Also - Is is just me, or are there just too many damn games coming out (PC and otherwise)???!!! I mean, I barely have time to finish the games I already have. I can ill afford the time spent on new ones. Maybe I should just crawl under a rock until I finish the ones I have. When I come out again, there should be a whole new lineup about 2 generations in quality further along.
I find this as well. I found that the only way I could get in any game time is by setting up a second TV next to the main one, and I only watch 4 programmes a week. This added to the fact that I never got the last generation and then bought a PS2, giving access to the PS1 games, there are too many titles for me to play. I'm still on the first disk of Final Fantasy VII.

I think it's more along the lines of engines turn materials into energy, while motors turn energy into motion.
Don't you mean a giant translucent spider?
Yup, but you always bank beforehand. Nothing gets you voted off faster than not banking a streak and then missing a question

It doesn't add the options to Yahoo Messenger, which is the only window I actully want to do this to. Otherwise, it's cool.

Considering Ian Goldberg is probably still a Canadian citizen living in the U.S., he also has to worry about the new anti-terrorism laws.
IANAL, but according to the /. TOS, we're SOL. It should be O.K., IMHO, since by reading the FAQ you should be able to get most of them p.d.q.

I agree with you, but then the Java and C# examples of "jagged arrays" aren't multidimensional arrays either: just arrays of arrays.
Java doesn't have any unsigned types.
Actually, it does: the char type is unsigned. But Java doesn't really need any unsigned types because it has the >>> operator.
Or a hidden IFRAME that keeps reloading. You might never notice.
