Jeff and his Trackball


Just seen:

New image of Jeff Relf and His Trackball.

Yes, Jeff, the buttons are falling apart...the contacts worn, the MicroCrud
drivers bit-cracking with every click -- XP has made the TrackBall unusable
-- that's right -- a M$ product, destroying any backwards compatibility to
the insipid FOOLS who purchased a trackball.

BUT you go, you go on, clinging to your track ball -- muttering 'my driver,
my driver' and weeping, near a poorly sealed medical waste canister near

The war of the OSes was won a long time ago. Unix has always been, and will continue to be, the Server OS in the form of Linux. Microsoft struggled mightily to win that battle -- creating a poor man's DBMS, a broken email server and various other /application/ servers to try and crack the Internet and IS markets.

What is /automatic/ garbage collection, and how do I know that it is really efficient? If I use mono, I can look at the code. But if I use Java and .NET -- I have no idea. A brilliant programmer called Jeff Relf just discovered a more efficient way of clearing memory -- does GC do this?

Hello, all. I have just completed watching all the videos of Jeff Prosise's "Learn ASP.NET 2.0" at http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/reference/multimedia/. Although the videos are a year old, I found the information very informative and picked up a number of things during the training. My question is this: does anyone know where I can obtain the source to this video series? I cannot seem to find anything on MSDN. If anyone has the...

I have an Trackball Optical 1.0, and the left button often causes IE to go to the previous screen instead of the action clicked on. The CD driver was reloaded and makes no difference. a different trackball does not exhibit the behavior. The Optical does the same thing on another computer. any Ideas? Thanks! Doug

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
