I'm not sure how much violence in real life is really caused by violence on TV or in the movies. There was plenty of violence before TV became widespread. For example, the Nazi SS concentration camp guards did not grow up on violent TV. Neither did the soldiers who ran Stalin's gulags or who carried out Mao Tse Tung's cultural revolution and "great leap forward". Those 3 groups are responsible for the murder of over 100 million people, all committed be people who did not grow up watching violence on TV.

The actual version number of Windows XP is Win NT 5.1. This was done because most of the enhancements, outside of the new user interface, were incremental in nature. That's what the guy told me at the launch event yesterday. Increases in the whole number of the version are for major new releases. So let's now speculate on what we can expect whenever Windows 6 comes along. I expect that the Universal Plug and Play being introduced in XP will be expanded to include non-traditional devices, such as microwaves, stereos, etc. Any other ideas or suggestions?

The White Star line claimed that the Titanic was "practically unsinkable". The media left off the qualifying adjective. "Live free or die"

The author seems to forget a few things. First of all, places in India have been the targets of plots by bin Laden. Additionally, India was involved in World War II, though not to the same extent as other places. Japanese forces had invaded from the east, but did not get very far and had to withdraw.

Those of us with computer skills would most likely be placed in some role far behind the front lines. Maybe to develop code for guided missiles, electronic eavesdropping, things like that. I would like nothing better than to develop software to guide a smart bomb up Osama bin Laden's butt. In fact, yesterday I sent off a resume to Lockheed Martin. I graduate with a Computer Science degree in December. They are one of many companies I'llbe applying to, some of which will be defense contractors. "Live free or die"

I think that a long term solution to the problem of terrorism, after the military action of the near future, is to use hackers to break into the bank accounts and other finanicial holdings of terrorists, dictators, and drug lords, and take the money out. Without money their operations would be crippled. I do not see this as stealing; rather it is the seizure of contraband. Is this technologically feasible? I suppose it would have to involve some kind of identity theft. It would also require some cooperation from the financial institutions, which could happen if the governments of their countries lean on them enough.

Perhaps people think we're like doctors. A doctor who is of one specialty still has had training in all the other specialties. For example, an orthopedist can, if necessary, deliver a baby. "What would this country be without this great land of our?" -Ronald Reagan

I use Forte, and it seems alright, though I suppose it is what one would expect from an IDE that you don'y pay for. You might also want to take a look at Borland's JBuilder or Symantec's Visual Cafe. I write programs on both the Java and Microsoft platforms. I suppose I could be called a bigamist, but I don't care. "What would this country be without this great land of ours?" -Ronald Reagan

Didn't do that. Will put that in. Thanks. "What would this country be without this great land of our?" -Ronald Reagan

To assign an ID you just use one of those #define macros. Editing the resource file won't help because everytime the resources are compiled or edited, or soemthing like that, the resource file is erased and written anew. "What would this country be without this great land of our?" -Ronald Reagan

When I tried placing a RichEdit control in a dialog box, the dialog box would not show when its DoModal function was called. When I removed the RichEdit control, the dialog box showed fine. What is really odd is the fact that in another project I had a RichEdit control on a property page, and there the dialog box, RichEdit control and all, displayed normally. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Is there a way to get a popup dialog box with a RichEdit control to display? "What would this country be without this great land of our?" -Ronald Reagan

I'm almost certain you can't add a control to a CView-derived vie wusing the resource editor. You would have to try it programmatically. One idea is to declare a member variable of type CButton, initialize it in your view class's constructor, and then call its Show function in the view's OnDraw function. I must admit, I'm not entirely clear as to how you would go about handling events from such a button. I believe you have to assign a control ID to the button and use the ON_BN_CLICKED macro to map the message to a specific function.

Until now, it seems that most of common operating systems have been created using structured programming, and have exposed an API that is also structured. That is, the API is a bunch of global functions and structures. Class libraries, are really wrappers around API functions and structures. What would be required to build an object-oriented operating system, with presumably a class library API? For one thing, there would seemingly be seamless interaction between the OS API and any development libraries. Additionally, the commonly mentioned advantages of OOP would make an OO OS less buggy. So, is it feasible to make an OO OS of the same magnitude as Windows? "What would this country be without this great land of our?" -Ronald Reagan

I'm in the middle of a Family Tree application, just to give myself practice and experience. I know it won't be worth much of anything for resale, but that's not the point. I'm also looking for an idea for a new application, but have so far come up dry. I want it to be a Windows application; I'm already working on a couple internet apps, so I don't need another one of those. I want it to be complex and substantial, and show initiative. So far, I've been having kind of a "Goldilocks" problem, wherein the ideas I think of are either way too simple or too complex for one person.

Hey, thanks everyone, I should check out all of that, being a reseller, getting student versions, and MSDE. The reason I had planned to install SQL Server 2000 Evaluation was to learn how to develop databases with it. I really would not be doing much administration on it. My goal is to become a proficient software engineer on all three of the primary tiers of a modern internet systems: data logic, business logic, and presentation logic. Developing databases with SQL Server will cover the first one. "What would this country be without this great land of our?" -Ronald Reagan

I have several CDs of the SQL Server Evaluation Edition, each of which are good for 120 days. Would it be ethically acceptable for me to install from a CD and then reinstall from another one after the first expires? I'm currently a student, so buying a full-licensed copy is not something I can do until after I graduate this fall and start gainful employment.
