Although the commercial is funny it is so sad what Jobs is doing, compare one product to another to tell mine is better that's lame. Don't push too much or Gates can get angry... "you have to see the 30 sec ad first" http://video.msn.com/v/us/money.htm?g=91254431-cf03-4f4f-8e1d-e9f0f369d981&f=&fg=copy[^] Also looks like Apple forgot already that MS had to put 150 millions to keep Apple alive in 1997. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxOp5mBY9IY[^] This is so lame...

To see the video what Gates said about Apple you have to see the 30 seconds commercial first. http://video.msn.com/v/us/money.htm?g=91254431-cf03-4f4f-8e1d-e9f0f369d981&f=&fg=copy[^]

I can't access with HTTP mail and also I receive a technical error when accessing from web. Is this happening to you?

The link is funny :) The difference between the left guy with suit and the right guy is just 1005 millons dollars.

Two buttons in a mouse is too complicated for a Mac user, also mice with only one button are cuter so Mac users don't cares what you can do with two. :laugh:

#280 :-D so true

When I sell something 2 + 2 = 5 When I buy something 2 + 2 = 3 more clear than that?

Yeah, is cool stuff, I went to the store to pick it up and it was not in stock, now I'll have to wait until Wednesday :(. So I guess this weekend I won't do much after all.

I'm getting one of these in a couple hour to play the weekend. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXMHD1**&P=TF[^]

WOW :) I admire you. How I'd like to that in those cases... but I can't :~ I'm tie to my employer for another year. >> "Don't burden me with details, just get it done." Details?? that's why the project is kind out of the reality because they don't know the details. -- modified at 20:45 Thursday 25th January, 2007 [EDIT] I think it can be done before March with 5 or 6 people with good management, but looks like is especially what your company lacks, a good management.

To me the scenario sound so "ideal" that looks like somebody took it from a book as it is and giving the requirements having zero notions about "reality". I don't know how complex the application will be, but will appears several problems to interact C# with C++ throw just XML, unless it can export simple data the recursive object serialization/deserialization will take a good amount of time, especially because C++ doesn't have reflection, so you can't scan the types on the fly, so the data to be interchanged between the layers has to be "hard" defined in the code and every data to be serialized/deserialized in C++ will have to come with a helper function to do the serialization/deserialization. Also if in a future part of the app can run on Linux then also you can’t make like a simple dll for the C++ functionality or you could but then when this portion runs on Linux, the client would not be able to connect to the server portion. So you better think from the very beginning run the C++ as different process but now that brings other problem how to interchange the data. You can’t use remoting because is MS dependant, so you will have to run a TCP pipe between the two process, and what you do? You will have to use a proprietary binary protocol to send the XML transaction back and forth…. Or install a HTTP server and send HTTP request/response from the client application. Mmmm how many problems I see with that requirement. For me those are cases that are so out of the reality that instead discuss everything and lose the battle because "you are against everything" I opt to "Yes, sir" and when asks for a date I reply, I can't give a date for a project where requires to resolve so many "unknown" compatibility issues we will find. So, I'll do it but I'm not responsible for the deadline. The reality is that it is a hypothetical scenario and it can works well, but is far from reality if you want to do it for march, how many people are involved in the project?

>> this is a balance with encouraging people to publish at all. I had a couple frustrations on the site that made me stop publishing articles, still I have several things I could publish with original content but I don't feel in mood anymore to publish again. :((, I’m just a forum user now.

8 Gigabits or 8 billions bits is 1GB but I showed there that the technology is already here so they will put togheter more to get the 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, etc. The link I put on the previous link shows a MiniSD with 4GB (capital B = Bytes) = 4 billion Bytes or 32 billions bits which is not so far from the 100 billions that the article tells. Also the article talk about 140nm memory when SanDisk is already producing memory with 56nm

What I'm missing here. I guess I lost something here. >> The circuit has 160,000 bits of capacity, compared with previous generations of molecular circuits that were demonstrated at 64 bits. >> But researchers point to the circuit's density as the real breakthrough: 100 billion bits per square centimeter. 100 billons bits = 100.000.000.000 bits 100.000.000.000 / 8 (or 9) = 12.500.000.000 Bytes 12.500.000.000 / 1024 = 12.207.031 KB 12.207.031 / 1024 = 11.920 MB 11.920 = 11 GB :doh: Today technology: http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(2318)-SDSDM-4096-SanDisk_miniSDHC_Card_4GB_miniSD_HighCapacity.aspx[^] >> Intel Corp. would contemplate making in 2020. :doh:

I got this game and never could I imagine how many good memories can come to your mine playing the old games like C&C and Red Alert. http://www.ea.com/official/cc/firstdecade/us/index.jsp[^]

I used to do that with C&C read alert and StarCraft the first year I was married. Now games are more complicated and requiere a bigger learning curve, also with kids forget about compromise... :)
