Comment your code well and it does not suck. Don't comment your code, or comment it poorly, and it sucks to the point of being worthless.
I had much rather implement something from scratch than have to walk through code and try to read someone's mind. And this goes equally for open source code. You haven't done me any favors if you GPL your code but don't provide adequate comments or documentation.
How about $200 worth of rice and a laptop? Then maybe 20 years from now, Dvorak can hire some of these third world kids to write for his shitty magazine. Lord knows he could use some fresh talent.
It also said she had complained that "there was no real leadership at the agency."
Apparently not, if they're still debating ID. And how can an agency that supposedly oversees a science curriculum remain neutral about this absurd and obvious political\cultural attack on science?
If the leaders of The Texas Education Agency understand the nature of science in the least, they would be able to dismiss ID with a cursory review. The people of Texas should demand a whole slew of resignations from these embedded political hacks protecting ID under the guise of bureaucracy. Of course they won't do that.
When it comes to technology politicians are clueless, with few exceptions. However, the fact that he bothers to pander to someone about it means that the issue has made at least some headway.
I see where Sky mentions Google docs in their instructions, however the instructions they gave their users only pertained to changing a few email settings. What does this have to do with Google docs? I use Google docs; is this something different Sky has set up with Google to make their customers think they are getting something special? You know, like AOL use to do with their "free" virus "protection", and their super "fast" dial up, and all their "crappy" adware.
Furthermore, unless Sky is a strange ISP, their customers should still have access to web based email, so why all the hoopla?
It was a very bonehead thing to do, however, to depend on customers to change email settings when a small setup app could have done the job without any fuss.
but not to do it before then or their e-mail would break; but if you don't do it on the date your e-mail will also break.
Well of course. If you change before, you have the wrong settings. If you don't change afterward, you have the wrong settings.
Whilst that would remove the object from the collection itself it is *not* a delete.
Oh, I see. The article made me think they were requesting the GC to delete the object. I have not used C#, so I was relating to something similar in Java.
Maybe so. But if they explicitly call delete to invoke the garbage collection of an object, would it not be better for the system to destroy the object and then throw an exception when it tried to send an event notification to a non-existing object?
Furthermore, if delete is called and the garbage collector does not delete the object because it realizes that the object is registered on certain events, would it not be just as easy to then un-register the object for the event? Or at least report it? After all, the GC already went to the trouble of checking to see if the object was registered with an event notification.
Or could tell you who is winning Dancing with the Stars. That ought to use a little bit of that massive defense budget on the bozos that came up with that crap show.

Not in tubes?
Seriously, it is good to have at least one of the Presidential candidates address an issue like this.
The x-ray glasses advertised in the back of those science mags don't work.

Oh. * scratches head *
But in this case, they were asking the GC to destroy the object. So why could that not be a special case?
Computerz are hard.
lol. Thanks for the play-by-play. I missed it the first time through.

collection
I wonder if the Java garbage collector does this also?
And people who think illegal immigrants are getting welfare and other such benefits.
Or could tell you who is winning Dancing with the Stars. That ought to use a little bit of that massive defense budget on the bozos that came up with that crap show.
I think they do that.
Well of course not. Those particular expenses are on the Visa. Thank God we can just print more money, huh?
I'm sorry. What?
That's not a troll. A troll for Slashdot would be something like:
OMG!1!@ Vista is awesome! I'm so glad Bill Gates invented computerz.
Or would that be flamebait?
Bombing stuff is important.

Where? You guys lie.
