yea they work, I wouldn't spend a lot of money on them though, a decent compiler will give you info for stuff like buffer overflows. Most of the bugs will need to be caught at runtime, so if you are on a tight budget, definitely skip the static tools for the more useful ones.
oh thank God it's over! Now I can finally stop not giving a rats ass about it! I almost cared as much about this as I cared about the baseball players strike.
Hell, even gmail isn't hosted all on one computer. This has to be the dumbest thing that I've ever heard. Who ever heard of a global network becoming an "application" hosted on one computer? What planet are these people from?
Sheesh, why is it that every topic on every forum on the internet, political or non-political, has to turn into some Ron Paul fanboy debate. Ok, so the guy has no change of begin the republican candidate, I say let him run as an independent. I think his fanboys are split right down the middle, so they will probably take an even number of votes from the republican and democrats. And at that rate, if all we have to vote for is Hillary or Huckabee, I would definitely vote for Ron Paul.
Let Microsoft and Google play their game of thrones. In the end, it doesn't really matter who "controls" this search engine market, if they give users what they don't want, there will ALWAYS be another competitor to enter the market, just like google did before.
Every 2-bit nerd thinks he knows what's best for Microsoft, why should Microsoft listen to him? Because he has a blog and people read his blog? Like they don't already have qualified people working on their PR problems.
At any rate, Vista's bad image isn't due to perception, I have Vista Ultimate, running on a machine that can definitely handle it, it runs HORRIBLY, this great PC has become my secondary PC which I now rarely use. I'm not the only one like this, I know a couple other people with the exact same "perception" that they got by actually using the operating system.
Yea I think they are full of crap. I tried this myself, I searched on network solutions for some random domain name like kljihsd2342.com, it said it was available, then I decided that I would maybe go with register.com (we do have freedom of choice right?) and it said the domain was unavailable, it was registered by network solutions. This is most certainly abuse of power.
On top of that, if you vote against the "Protect America" act, then you obviously want to see harm done to America, so if the bill passes, you will be the first on the list, the thought police will be staking out your house the very next day.
The important thing is that you have learned programming initially or at the very least, been taught the fundamentals of some language like C or C++ which will let you understand how things like memory allocation works and how pointers work. If you understand those concepts you will be good.
You don't need to be proficient in ASM, but understanding the concepts is important, you should learn that type of thing in an Operating Systems structure class though.
Once you have learned the fundamentals of C or C++, I would say to do everything else in an easier language like java or C#, because you shouldn't spend your time focusing on your memory allocation and such when you are just trying to understand the structure of a redblack tree.
look, I'm not trying to flame, but what you do expect? You are selling these things to walmart shoppers, some of the dumbest people on the planet in general. They need to make it perfectly clear that this computer will not run all the software that they sell at walmart or best buy, they can't just pick any PC game off the shelf and expect it to run on this computer as it is not a windows computer.
I'm no microsoft advocate, but I'm sure that these walmart customers are buying a PC for more reasons than just surfing the net and they will probably expect that they can buy something like Age of Empires or Civ II or whatever and be able to run it on their computer.
yea, that's what I was thinking, who are these critics saying "oh you can't justify the cost", I would like them to tell the parent of some 5 year old kid that's dieing that they just can't justify the cost of it to get an extra 1 or 2 percent chance of success... Here's your justification, my boot up your ass!
OMG this is (*&#$% scary, the last thing we need is another above-the-law government organization. We've already seen that the CIA is now above the law with their news of destroying evidence of torture that they previously said did not exist.
Yea I agree that it's lame, email pretty much IS visual voicemail. But one thing that gets me is, the company already won suits with this patent, why wouldn't apple have tried to work with them in advance to avoid getting sued?

don't worry, there is always global warming to be the next big boogie man.
warrantless is meaningless if you have judges in your pocket to give you warrents no?

who needs to write CAPTCHA exploits when you can just hire 50 chinese kids for 3 cents per day to create email accounts and send spam out for you?
how do you find sellers? I want to sell my bank account info fro $1000.
It sounds to me like more people trying to claim intellectual property of something that they did not come up with themselves.
No wonder their economy is booming when they can make a killing of counterfeit hardware and bogus harry potter books!
THey need to drop the price of XP so I can buy it to replace my copy of Vista.
What a crazy world where Germany knows more about freedom than America.

ok, so if it's all binary formats only, does this mean they won't be releasing the specs for the notepad format? I've been waiting for this forever.

maybe those are the ones where the choices made were bad ones, and you don't want to remember them.
ok, how many linux users do you imagine would generally buy a PC from walmart, as opposed to ordering a customized one or building one themselves?

Who still uses w00t? I haven't used that since like 1998... What's the PHRASE of 2007, "All your base are belong to us?"
