> it's really REALLY hard to utilize any of regular expression stream tokenizers

Uh... you can't tokenize HTML (correctly at least) with regular expressions. If you're trying to, you just lose. If you're doing it for security reasons, you _really_ lose.

> so "dozens" turns to "few" under scrutiny..

Uh... "dozens" and "a few dozen" are in fact pretty much the same last I checked. "few" and "a few dozen" are not. Please do read what I wrote instead of just trolling?

> i'm sure there was at least 1 bug attributable to form control spec changes.

Absolutely. ;)

> you've obviously never seen any codebase that i maintain

Clearly.

> did your mother name you "BZ"?

Nope, but it provides a convenient handle for Slashdot and irc and whatnot, being short. It's not like I make a big secret over who I am, exactly. Here; I'll even help you out:

Although, from what little I know of the situation, I disagree with the assertion that the judge is a cad. At face value it looks like he is doing the correct thing. He was presented with specific posts that are legally actionable and he is continuing the action on those posts.

http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=private+school+teachers+level+of+education

Actually I was wrong:
http://www.uft.org/news/teacher/insight/pvt_school/

The new report, by Teachers College's National Center for the Study of Privatization in Education and funded by the U.S. Department of Education, finds that, after fully controlling for demographic differences between students in public and private schools, the presumed advantages of private schools disappear; in fact, in most cases public schools outperform private schools, on an apples-to-apples basis

So according to the US Department of Education if you did what I said you'd actually end up with a town full of even shittier private schools.

I've always wanted to do this...

What kind of system administrator or average user, blindly upgrades to a major version, without considering the caveats of such an action? The general disclaimer of "everything has to be ported, this will break things" wasn't obvious enough?

Linus didn't bother to read anything, he doesn't also bother to use KDE. I don't think anyone mentioned compiling from source, or visiting conferences. Please don't tell me you're suggesting we should all follow Linus's example on everything. He's not a god, and even if he were...that'd be a pretty weak-willed excuse.

Somehow, I don't think 'open source software' is going to bend over backwards to cater to that crowd any time soon. Let alone people the people you say are apparently upgrading KDE versions at 6 years old.

Nobody held a gun to anyone's head and said "upgrade to 4.0, especially despite our warnings and disclaimers". If someone does anything with their software, it is their sole responsibility, and that happens to includes (but not be limited to) upgrading, deleting, switching to alternate software, pirating, using it for work, using it for play, or pinging FBI.gov 160000 times per day. Part of that responsibility is such a basic tenet as to understand what you're doing before you do it.

I shudder to think what would happen (and how people would complain) if KDE, GNOME, Linux, and other developers 'just did stuff' because someone it was an option, or because someone else suggested it, without first considering what it means, what the pros and cons are, if it's worth their time. I believe the proper response to not having time to 'look over things' is let me google that for you.

1) ANY high-school/college student should be able to tell you what the critical mass of U235/238 is.

I hardly knew WTF "critical mass" meant, precisely. Much less knowing what was critical mass until looking at wikipedia. You've got to be fucking kidding me. Any high-school/college student? Really? I know how to google it, but that's different from knowing it.

5 - The only view I ever want to use in Explorer is Details. So like every other version of Windows, the first thing I did was to set the view to Details for a folder, go into the Folder Options, and tell Windows not to use unique views for each folder. Despite doing this many times, Vista will still randomly pick other views that it thinks are better (even though they're worse) for some folders some of the time. It also refuses to remember the sort order I choose for my Documents folder, and every time I go into it, it's sorted by Type, not Name.

Oh dear god yes. This has got to be my #1 annoyance with Vista.

Here, let me google that for you.

In all seriousness though, I agree it's a pretty horrible "feature". Here's a more concise guide that fixes just what you're talking about: http://www.askvg.com/how-to-fix-annoying-folder-view-type-problem-in-windows-vista/

I'll help.

This is the link you meant to post.

It could all be fixed with a start up program with a list of help options asking you what you want to do.

What do you want to do?
A- I want to connect to the internet
-- Do you have a router, a usb dsl box, a modem or a mobile phone
-- A- Router
----Please plug the cable from the router into the back of your computer

If I remember correctly I am sure windows used to have something similar to this on 95 or 98.

99% of the weird things please want to do such as connect usb DSL modems could be scripted and wrapped around a nice graphical front end.

It's all about presentation, most users can get along with the current settings and windows fine, however not everyone is the same and some users need more hand holding then others.

These other users want options presented to them, "I want to install new software". Let them click the option then have the mouse cursor automatically click on Applications -> Add/Remove Software

For an example of the kind of program I had in mind think http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=Ubuntu

I hope that was a rhetorical question, otherwise, you know the drill.

What are you talking about? No one left the football sitting on a table somewhere... the aid carrying it got separated from the president. What do you think is going to happen? Obama accidentally leaves his blackberry with an aid.... who is then abducted so that the terrorists can read the president's chat logs? And as for "President-Elect" being a recent term....

VA Linux changed their goals half a dozen times.

Who?

VA Linux. They own Slashdot, Sourceforge, etc. They started out as a Linux PC hardware vendor, which they no longer do. Now they make money from the ads on Slashdot and related sites, and sell SourceForge Enterprise Edition software to big companies.

Let me google that for you.... Oh! Here it is!

I disagree with you on walking away and not helping someone who keeps asking over and over and over the same questions. I put the answers to those questions in writing with a copy to the person's manager to ensure the message gets across.

I work in medical transcription now, managing a large group of people handling 11 hospital accounts. I get the same questions over and over and over. For them, I use http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com./ It helps get the message across really, really well, too.

From GE's FAQ on CFLs (Emphasis Added):

Do light bulbs (such as fluorescent and compact fluorescent bulbs) give off hazardous amounts of ultraviolet (UV) light?

Regular fluorescent light bulbs used in your home and office do not produce a hazardous amount of ultraviolet light (UV). Most light sources, including fluorescent bulbs, emit a small amount of UV, but the UV produced by fluorescent light bulbs is far less than the amount produced by natural daylight. ...

That not enough? Still worried about your artwork?

If you're looking for a low-UV bulb for an especially sensitive area, try our Saf-T-Gard bulbs. They block most ultraviolet light emissions, and they're also shatter-resistant.

So not only is CFL nowhere near like leaving all of your stuff outside all day, but if you're really concerned, you can by specialty bulbs to put over your artwork. Before making baseless comments, try Googling first.
