Your post is the most angry prose regarding soup I've ever read. Congratulations. I prefer soup in a box, or sometimes soup in a foil wrapper. Foods in cans scare me.
Boow it your your ass, you ignorant, illiterate fuck. Why don't you try reading what I wrote before you get your panies in a bunch? Ah, nevermind, you're a coward. You probably suck at the guitar, too.
Don't put too much stock in that old addage. After all, you can get some things for free (certain software comes to mind) that clearly has more value than the $0 paid (slashdot trolls and MS astroturfers notwithstanding). On the flip side, you can buy shirts and shoes and other crap 10-20 more expensive than mainstream stuff that is clearly not providing 20 times the shirt or shoe or whatever.
"You get what you pay for" is one of those meaningless phrases that people generally agree with just because they've heard it so many times. If you say "the best things in life in free", many of those same people will agree wholeheartedly.
Another examples is these two conflicting adages:
"absense make the heart grow fonder"
"out of sight, out of mind"
They clearly mean opposite things, but people will agree with whichever one they happen to here. Behold, the power of the adage.
Or take the example of 2 people that pay different amounts for the same model new car. How can you resolve common scenario with your adage?
I've had really good luck with Sony electronics. I have an 11 year old Sony receiver that still sounds good. Anectodal, true, but I'd take that kind of evidence any day over the so called research done by Consumer Reports. YMMV
I think it was Jeff Foxworthy, in his semi-famous "you may be in soviet russia" bit. It was later copied by Rosie O'Donnel during her second season on Saturday Night Live, but she always gave Foxworthy credit, when questioned. O'Donnel is raising three children fathered by Foxworthy, but that occurred after the exchange of this comedic gem. Rumor has it that Foxworthy sold the rights to his "In Soviet Russia" screenplay. Stephen King was schedule to play the central character before his untimely death. In his Maine Home. He will be missed
Please keep the "In Soviet Russia" jokes coming. I can't get enough of them; I think I may be addicted! Please, don't worry about the mods, keep them coming. I came for the news, but stay for the "In soviet russia jokes". I have a vision: someday soon, an article will be posted to slashdot, and the only replies will be "In soviet russa" jokes, modded up to their full glory. I may cry. Please make it so.
From the point forward, the CDC will only be concerned with viri and bacteria matters. This new policy, thoughfully suggested by an anonymous coward, will ensure that the CDC is best targetted towards the proper goals envisioned by Mr Coward. All employees researching non-viri and non-bacteria deaths are hereby layed off.
Not all users are addicts (at least for some things, not sure about heroin). Non-addict users are a good source of information about the virtues of a thing. Trainspotting seemed to a good job of showing more than a positive of negative caricature of heroin addiction, but since I don't have personal experience with ths shit, it's hard to say.
Wow, you are such an ass. You don't even know what the movie is about.
Same as the sixth sense, please.

Yep. This is a horrible review. Beware a science fiction review that can't help but bring up star wars by the third paragraph. I saw the film, and though it wasn't great, it was good, and much more enjoyable and thought provoking than most movies that come out of hollywood. While the reviewer claimed he wanted to enjoy the film, the derisive and sometimes flat-out-wrong things he says about Soderbergh makes me wonder.
Go ahead and wait with baited breath for the matrix 2. After all, the matrix 1 was really pretty weak science fiction. It was pretty good in the first act, but the rest of the movie was just an exceptional hollywood ass-kicking formula. Eventhough many adaptations of books are bad, hollywood's best bet for making true science fiction films comes from those adaptations.
Adaptations can and sometimes should stray from the book. That's why both Blade Runner and DADOES were excellent though different.
Opps, yeah, you're right base 10^1.24 trillion. How to store the digit? We'll skip the uninteresting digits and just implement the one for pie. That funny pi symbol might be a good candidate. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, f,.......pi. Let's just ignore the decimal.
So what are you doing to cure cancer, besides bitching about what other people are not doing? Donating money? Computer cycles? Time? Research? Sheesh, there's one in every article.
Well, if you like objective C, then you obviously like to do things in an object oriented fashion. C++ makes this much easier to do than C, so I don't understand why one is acceptable and the other isn't
If you write large scale programs in C, you'll eventually find yourself inventing ways to handle things that the C++ language does for you. C++ does them better and makes it easier on the programmer.
If you're just writing small things in C, you can always do the same thing in C++ (almost a superset, and all), but even there, C++ provides some features that can make some small programs much easier to do.
It's not just Dallas buddy. USA, land of the SUV. I grew up in Dallas; after living near mountains and the ocean, I'd never move back there. Someone else said it already: life is too short and Dallas is too boring.

- Where is the capital of North Dakata?
- How do you pronounce "nuclear"?
- What is the correct usage of "it's" versus "its"?
- Is there life after death?
- Does Richard Gere like to "gerbil"?
- What causes the common cold?
- Who invented the internet?
- Does kidney thievery happen?
are the wrong answers you get any more right because so many (maybe even the majority, if asked right) get them wrong?IOW, eat shit, 100,000,000 flies can't be wrong.
No midi software? I'm surprised.

What does tape have to do with addiction?
Yep. Are you going to listen to the heroin addict about the virtues of his vice? Never trust an addict.

Can we add reviewers to our killfile?
