Ah, I thought this sounded familiar. They've had a bunch of these in Japan (surprise) over the past several years. Looks like at least two in the last six months.

The current rumor is that the XBox Next is using a triple-core PowerPC. It is rumored to be derived from the PPC970 (G5) but I'd call that dubious at best; the rumor mill has a habit of referring to PowerPC processors solely in terms of Apple's current product line. Nintendo is also supposed to be using some sort of PowerPC, but I stopped paying attention to them sometime before they replaced the SNES.

He posted at G4 on Jan 30th. Only his third post since last Nov. His last post here was on Nov. 18. Looks like he retired from posting at the beginning of the fourth week of Nov.

Check View->Page Style. It should be set to Basic Page Style.

That might be the best course; frames seem to be discouraged these days. For what you're doing, a bit of CSS or a table might work just as well. CSS is the correct way but the table would work well and would be easier.

Except the original? There were only about six plots to begin with.

Microsoft responds. FWIW, I'm inclined to agree with MS.

Fedora's free.

That AP release may not be entirely accurate. The Reuters and InfoWorld stories say that the sentence was due to his history of mental illness, his age, and parental neglect. Others versions I read claim the judge simply blamed the parents and others still hardly mention them.

They don't have any choice. There's tremendous market pressure to use Microsoft products. Part of it is the result of the normal tendency of the market to adopt de facto standards, and part of it is the result Microsoft's skillful manipulation of the market. Never happen. MS isn't about to undermine MSN, especially to the benefit of AOL.

The formula is, uh, words / minutes. How you handle the spreadsheet with depend on what software you're using and how you want to format the sheet. Here's an example I made in OpenOffice: The equation for cell B3 is in the equation bar.

The only part of the plan that bothers me if the possibility that it could prevent people who don't have a valid copy of Windows for legitimate reasons (e.g., people who don't have Windows at all) from accessing interesting downloads. Hopefully it won't be extended to cover MSDN and MS Research. Be interesting to see if this is permanent solution or a stopgap until Longhorn ships. The rights management infrastructure that was planned for Longhorn should be able perform the same function more or less transparently to the user.

First, excellent paper. It warms my heart to see someone under 60 who is at all interested in the golden age of computing. Or at least willing pretend they're interested There are a lot things that could be removed. The sections on Zuse and the Mark I could be reduced to one paragraph each, or a single paragraph covering the pre-WWII developments. The IBM 700 series probably wasn't important enough to justify a full page and half. The paragraphs on programming languages could be compressed, and the details about assembly and FORTRAN removed and replaced with a more general overview of th

It is WINE.

Not inherently, but the drivers are, shall we say, not great. Also, it's quite old.

HP 882C. I don't recommend it. List of Linux-friendly printers

Me too. Especially my Hotmail account.

He didn't. The e-mail was sent via the mailing feature in your public profile. Thus the BT header and footer.

Right, the Archive.org bot is doing what bots do and following every link it can find, including the links to the profiles. Now if you want strange, I saw the GoogleBot trying to post in a thread a couple days ago

Were you asking tenmm where he found Archive.org or asking me where I found the Wayback Machine? Anyway, I'm surprised, I though everyone knew about the bot. Archive.org has been stopping by periodically for months now. Usually late at night or early in the morning. Around the same time the GoogleBot and I are on. You people need to get less sleep; you don't know what you're missing

Probably the Wayback Machine.

Yes, almost certainly. Usually the compiler has a list of directories that are searched for #include'd files. The headers you used (header is the common term for files intended for #inclusion) probably came with your compiler and are stored with it, possibly in a directory named "include" (a old convention). Your compiler will have an option to add additional directories and maybe an option to display the search list. Since we're talking about it, the difference between #include <file> and #include "file" is that most compilers respond to the latter by first searching the directory

Sorry, I knew you were just following the book. What I meant to say was that there's no reason to bother with Hungarian Notation in your own code; odds are you'll either never use it again or it you'll use a different form. As long as you're using code from the book (or Win32, which also uses it) you should, of course, follow its example (consistency trumps clarity). IOW it's another one of those things I mentioned for no reason that you shouldn't worry about Sure. First thing you need to know is that C++ uses a preprocessor, often called CPP, that it inherited from C. CPP is essentiall

Most likely some process has a file under /mnt/cdrom open. If you have lsof installed $ lsof | grep /mnt/cdrom should give you a list.

That's a bug in your environment. When you copied the source some non-printing garbage characters were copied along with it. Seems to happen occasionally when copy-pasting code to OS X or Cygwin. Filtering out the garbage should fix it. As for his source, as far as I can tell it's almost completely portable ISO C++. The system() call is the only issue. It builds clean with only two warnings (unused variables) with GCC 3.3.4 -W -Wall -std=c++98 -pedantic under Linux, and, except for the system() call, runs as intended. Appendix Okay, one more complaint about the program Or rather, about
