I've stayed at hotels that let you book online and they use Roommaster (or an interface to it). It's always been smooth, and there's never been a hitch.
Both also want to capitalize on digital delivery methods but can't afford to undercut their retail partners: big-box stores such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. for the major studios and mom-and-pop video shops for the porn producers
I must have missed something. Exactly which aisle in Wal-Mart are the pr0ns kept? I'm pretty sure that even Super Wal-Mart (or whatever it's called) does not have a pr0n section.
cockroaches govern themselves using simple group consultations before anything that affects the entire group
I've seen them make this decision, repeatedly! My wife walks around outside wearing sandals during the warm summer months, and you can clearly hear one the roaches (sight unseen) go "hey check out the blonde chick with her toes hanging out! Lets go make her scream bloody murder!!!" and then 2 or three come out of nowhere and run over towards her general direction and do exactly that.
It's open source glitter. Since it's only at version 0.0.3-beta2, they haven't gotten the color features added in yet. You have access to the raw material; feel free to create a patch for color and submit it.
and Apple has no game experiance. It would truly suck
Out of curiosity, exactly how much MP3 Player experience did they have when they released the first iPod? I seem to recall hearing something or other about iPods doing ok for themselves....:)
I have yet to see a project, in 11 years of coding, that is so complex that comments are a REQUIREMENT
Really? We're not talking about the dumb comments that are useless like "# Initialize the array", we're talking about the useful ones that explain WHY the code is doing something, or using a particular algorithm, or whatever. Code doesn't tell you that.
At home I got a second 21" LCD, so had two, side-by-sied, for 42" worth of LCD. But I didn't like that; I prefer the single 23" display I use at work.
I'm sure I would love a single 30"; I could always use more real estate. I just didn't adjust (gave it 2 months) well to the dual 21's, even though I loved the dual 19's I used at work years ago.
Or watch Slickdeals.net and wait til they say that the dell 24" widescreens are under $1000 again. A lot of people I know have waited for those and got smokin deals. I think one got one for around $850 or so.
5 years ago I had dual 19" CRT's at work and loved it, then that company closed and I went back to one monitor at work.
Last year I got an Apple 23" Cinema which I love love love. At home, I decided to get a second 21" flat panel to go with my current one. I found myself rarely using the second one. Only keeping occasional things there. Maybe it's just because i'm used to the one at home? Maybe it's the angle of the monitors and the border between them.
2 weeks ago when I got my wife a Mac Mini, I replaced her 17" FP with my 2nd 21", and I'm perfectly fine having the one here again.
While I would LOVE more room (like a 24" widescreen or the 30") on here, I like the single monitor instead of the duals.
Apple Macintoshes are only rarely seen in corporate environments
I wonder if that is starting to shift at all? I know from my own experience, our company is about 32 people or so, and I can count 10 or 11 Mac users. Not one of them is involved whatsoever in graphics or design. Most are developers, but the Sysadmin, CEO, COO, and VP of Product Development all use Macs, and the VP of Sales is a Mac user at home, but chooses a Win laptop just for compatibility sake when she's onsite @ client's offices.
Roughly 30% of our company is Mac. And barely any support is ever needed for any of them.
I've used (very little though) the OS X version of Komodo for some Perl stuff, and it seems very nice. One of these days I'll install it again and give it a really good test. I believe it does Perl, Python, and Ruby as part of the core, and has all the major IDE functions.
On OS X, TextMate is really coming along nicely, but it's not an IDE; just an editor. That's the editor used in the 15 minute Ruby-On-Rails demo video, for those who have seen it.
Quite true. Last year, I lead a team on a MAJOR project for a huge client. At that point our department didn't really have a good bug tracker in place, though some were toying with setting Bugzilla up.
Since I knew the client was going to be entering bugs as well (during alpha and beta stages), and that Bugzilla is a pain in the ass for the developers themselves to use, I decided to grab a copy of Mantis, which I had used at a previous job and knew had a fairly simple interface that non-techs would be ok with.
The next thing you know, our project manager was exclaiming "How in the hell did you manage to find and install a tool that 1) People are actually USING to log bugs, 2) Devs are updating with notes and status CONSISTENTLY, and 3) Management and the client are using to see where things are???".
She was shocked (hey, a lot of companies have trouble getting buy-in and usage for tools) and after that project, Mantis became the standard in-house Bug Tracker. We modified it to suit our needs for some other tasks, and it is now a make-shift trouble ticket system too, though some of us would rather move back to RT for that, and use Mantis soley for bugs. But at least it's used, and is a major tool in the chain. All change control info is in there.
Apple has just updated their iPodYourCar page to include a slew of new car companies
I'm so happy Ferrari is listed on that page (albeit with "Coming Soon"). I was so worried that the SDC's (Small Dick Compensators) weren't able to have native iPod integration.
Actually quite a few if the companies listed on that page cater to SDCs. They should subtely rub it in by only allowing integration with iPod Nanos.
A couple of years ago I was in a very well paying job but was absolutely miserable. Hated it. Hated going.
I decided to leave and go with a smaller company. Took about a 10% hit in pay. But, I couldn't be happier with the decision to switch jobs. Absoluelty love the new gig.
I've been with a home system since 1982-ish when I got my Atari 800. while I have many, many fond memories (a 450 baud mode, getting a BBS up and running, getting a digitized 6 second sample of Van Halen's You Really Got Me on the system, figuring out how to change strings in binary games by loading the game into a text editor and searching [strings showed in plain text], etc).
3 days ago, a friend and I were reminicing about the good ole days, and eventually started talking about the game Miner 2049er. I loved that game. I did a quick google search, and lo and behold... the author of the game wrote an emulator for it a few years ago, and released it to the world!
I played it when I got home (only a mac and freebsd machines at work and the emulater was a win-only) and it was exactly like I remembered. And still addictive. Try it out. The memories come back:)

No science needed; it's a routine observation

There's also Media Collector, which looks great (for books, dvd's etc). I haven't used it yet but I've been meaning to get a copy one of these days.

Reading my post, I see I caused some confusion.

All Your Bass Are Belong To Us!
And for the vast majority of iniane advertisering wouldn't it be nice to have another button that lets me tell them to "fuck off" :)
:D
That'll probably be in Hacking TiVo 2nd Edition. "Chapter 17th The 'Fuck Off' Function"
>> Let's say you make $30,000 a year
:)
Meant that to say $90,000 a year. And I *did* preview. Go figure...
Let's say you make $30,000 a year.
The company you work for decides to ignore the contract you signed and give you "only" $60,000 a year.
You'd be screaming about that $30,000.
"But...but... $90,000 is a lot different than $200M"
and the people fighting to make ends meet making $10,000 a year on minimum wage are saying "Oh boo hoo..."
See the point?
It doesn't matter the amount. He had a contract and he desrves what was agreed upon.
