Why shouldn't they learn C++ and low-level networking?

Bad hardware/drivers are more likely to be the culprit...

That example isn't due to static linking, it's because they chose a particular style of dialog which is deprecated and cannot be updated without breaking backwards compatibility. Software compiled in 1998 has no problem using the newest com

Oh boy. Even when someone makes it clear they are trying to fill in the bias of the original article with an opposite bias, people still think you're doing it as a personal argument.

Revisionist, much? The G1 came out a few months after the iPhone 3G, the first iPhone to support third-party apps.

Every other app store has games, too - with the reasonable assumption that Windows' app store would too, Microsoft established themselves as a competitor to Steam a year ago.

You don't enter a PIN? That process easily makes it take longer than cash.

You have to be creative - giraffes are tall, eagles have wide wingspans. I can only assume future iPhones gather nuts for winter hibernation.

I never tried the live streams - the time difference was inconvenient enough. Live content gets licensed differently to the catch-up content, which you can view without paying the license fee. Given catch-up is usually more restricted (some

Which is more efficient if the sites don't care where the flash connection comes from (like, apparently, the BBC)

I set that method up for my fiancée yesterday, who is in the US right now. The Flash content on iPlayer works fine, which uses RTMP. So my method works too, but my goal is 'watching iPlayer abroad', not 'tunnelling RTMP through the UK'.

The point is not that security-people-hackers are off-topic, but that they are not the ones usually meant when talking about hackers on this site.

We've been yelling at the sheeple long enough to know it's ineffective. What I want to know is what would it take to wake them?

A reason for XP is to serve as some kind of yardstick to your progress. A non-linear quest (such as in the Fallout games) uses XP to give you new abilities the more you play the game, whatever you happen to do in it. Whereas in linear stori

As the hardware buttons are generally lit, you could de-emphasise it by removing the light. I had a Motorola java phone which did just this. The failure of the Apple hierarchical model is it's app-centric, unlike Android which is activity-c

> I eat more fruits and vegetables and I've drastically cut my sugar intake. Fruits are quite sugary - do you limit yourself to one, two portions a day? Is fructose 'better' than sucrose/HFCS?

Jaw-dropping for the wrong reasons IMO. Reinventing the virtual machine poorly in a web browser is an impressive feat given the technical limitations but what does that actually prove? The demoscene is far more impressive in that regard.

The trade off then becomes efficiency of scale vs. tolerance to failure. I would argue that certain sectors, like infrastructure for public utilities, would be negatively impacted by treatment as a free market - the cost of building that in

A relic from Diablo 2 perhaps? My Amiga was still kicking around at that time, though my x86 compatibility option was putting a Windows PC in the same tower as the Amiga!

Form factor is generally insignificant; there's a big difference between a laptop or a workstation but you would still call them both PCs, even though the working patterns with each are quite different. The important difference is 'internet

Not sure whether you're removing drivers or ejecting hardware, but Device Manager is still in the control panel and Eject Hardware is where it always was. I wasn't aware of any other way you could do it, past or present.

I can't think of anything that meets the hyperbolic claim, but I know some insurance companies have introduced driving monitors to assess how safe your driving is and adjust your premiums accordingly.
