That's like going back to when Ford came out with the Model T, and assuming because they're underpowered that cars will never go faster than 40 miles per hour.

Worst case scenario is that they change the reference implementation so that non-official clients suffer slow downloads or fail to work...they can do whatever the hell they want with the "official version"...someone will eventually reverse-engineer the protocol (for us linux users, of course) and write an unofficial version, open source it, and it's a cat-and-mouse game until someone comes up with something better than bittorrent.

Because innovation is important, and not every scientist likes or is good at biochemistry. They can only levitate liquids right now, but imagine what the impact of being able to levitate arbitrary solids would be...do you know what the impact of cheap, low-cost (power and money) levitation would be? Think of all the energy wasted in frictional losses in the moving parts of systems we use every day. Eliminating these would make machines more reliable and more efficient for one, but could also have other uses...say, moving heavy objects?

This is quite possibly one of the best windows memory-usage tuning guides out there...I've been using it for years when I set up new systems.

Just a troubleshooting hunch...rewrite it this way: if ( ($_POST['final'] == 'yes') AND ($_POST['command'] == 'lol') AND ($_POST['action'] == 'cmd') )

If all you really want to do is autoscroll the page, why not do it client side? I'm assuming the report is going to be run on the server and then returned to the client asynchronously, so in that case, just hook the onClick event for your submit object in javascript and change the scrollbar position.

Well, WinRAR uses decent quality symmetric encryption, so as far as "finding" it I'm afraid you're **** out of luck. You're going to have to brute-force or dictionary attack it. Applications that will do this are a dime-a-dozen, a google search for "rar password" will find you plenty of them.

Thanks...really. It's this *BLEEP* attitude that justifies a slow runtime to Sun and Microsoft, and tells Microsoft that it's OK to make bloaty, slow, operating systems..."if it runs too slow, our customers will just upgrade their computers!". Good job doing a disservice to the entire computing world by propagating that attitude towards software development.

I would say (after looking at my .bash_history, lol) that my most used apps are:vi, Firefox, Pidgin, Thunderbird, gpg, VLC, Skype, TuxRacer, GIMP, and Anjuta

I've never had stitches...from the looks of it, I'm more and more glad ^^

Call me cynical, but I say the "scientists" are interested in global warming because they're meteorologists and want job security; they see what they want to see. I'm not implying that they're falsifying research data, just that their interpretations of the data may be more or less biased, knowingly or not.

How could you leave out vi?

No...the task manager can kill tasks, forcibly kill tasks, change priority and affinity, but that's about it. Typical Microshaft half-assery.

That's what table prefixes are for. All respectable php apps have support for them, and adding them in is actually very easy to do if you can code php...

I hated prolog...probably because of the way it was taught, I just never found any use for it that was not better served (in my opinion) and faster served by simply using a more straightforward iterative language. On the other side of that, lisp has proved very useful...I've found uses for lisp that other languages can't satisfy as gracefully and quickly.

Shhh....don't spoil our conspiracy to keep old people too scared to leave their houses which are free of all sources of threat to their pacemakers...it keeps them off the roads!

LOL...I can beat that...when I was little I opened a package of cream of wheat to find 20-30 dead spiderlings in it. Apparently, some spider had laid her eggs inside the package, her brood hatched, then starved to death.

Good point...I don't think I've ever come across a host that supports server-side high level languages (PHP, perl, JSP, ASP, etc) but doesn't give you some MySQL databases.

I would say learn an OOP language first; something like Java, C#, or C++. They're by far the easiest to learn, though the first two won't teach you a goddamn thing about memory management, which I think is something of a failing of OOP in managed space.Second, learn a high-level iterative language. C is good for this (if you picked C++ above, you can skip this step, more or less). Everyone should know C, in my opinion...so much software is built upon it.Third, learn assembly for a platform that's used. When I was in college they taught us assembly for the MIPS R2000 architecture. I have not yet, to date, used this. I really wish they'd have taught us x86 or PowerPC assembly; at least I could have used those in practice. In the end, I went off and learned x86 assembly on my own...such a shame, really.Fourth, experiment a little! Play with prolog, and lisp, and Icon (w00t, U of A!). Maybe learn some Cobol for shits and giggles

Glad my recommendation could be of help :PI only went to namepros because I wanted to prove that I could maintain a revenue-generating website as a zero actualized cost venture. To date, I've not spent a penny on my website, and it has generated revenue through adsense.If you don't have a need to get a domain for free, I would just go through a standard registrar like eNom or NetworkSolutions, etc...while Namepros may be free, if you're developing a website in anything but your free time on the weekends, your time is worth more than the value it gets sitting on forums to earn enough domain credits to get a domain registered.

Rapidshare et al are in a constant cat-and-mouse game to ensure their ad revenue...tricks like this, once in the wild for awhile, don't work anymore. If you want something for free, just abide by their TOS and wait in line like everyone else.I don't see why everyone has this great urge to try to cheat them out of making you wait a little bit. If the download wait is that big of an issue, just get a premium account with them.

I don't post an incredible amount...but I've never had a problem maintaining sufficient credits to keep my hosting working. Besides, I've found that the less you have to do to maintain a hosting account on free post2host setups, the sooner they go out of business (thanks, FusionXHost...for selling off my account information to a paid host) and send you running to a new host. So I'm actually kind of glad there's a little bit of work involved in maintaining hosting here....I like this host and I don't really want to have to find a new one.

OK, so you want to simulate a production client environment...I would use VMWare for this. You can get VMWare server for free, create a VM exactly as you think the client machine will be set up and test it.

Screw Windows media player...VLC works much better to play all the formats you want to play. Also, it's based on ffmpeg as it's decoder, so it decodes a hell of a lot more formats than windows media player does out of the box, and you don't need to clog up your directshow filter chain with splitters and codecs to watch movies. I've actually never come across a video format that VLC couldn't manage to play at some level.Stick to using VLC and only use windows media player for playing DRM'd WMA/WMV files.
