Besides, how catchy is something like "amazon.ustm"? I didn't think so.
And, how catchy was amazon.com before.com and.net got popularized by the mainstream media. If instead of.com the original TLD was.inc or.corp that would be the catchy phrase.
I know this wasn't the original gist of your post, but if you just make the new TLD people will get used to it. Of course, having a pronouncable extension helps, I personally don't care for.ustm, how would you pronounce that? Uh-stum? Yuck!
I love this stuff! And I quote: ... Advanced Information Systems is churning out software with just 0.05 defects per 1,000 lines of code -- "better than the space shuttle's software"
Hey, me too! In fact I churn out only 0.0049 defects per 1,000 lines of code! And they are easy to count, too, because:
A) All my bugs are the reult of only _one_ line of code each.
B) I program in basic so my line numbers make the bugs, sorry, defects easier to count.
C) No one ever uses anything I write except me so I don't have to worry about some luser ever doing something in the software differently than I would, myself.
I'm expecting my "Level 5" certification in the mail any day now.
i hope you're not serious, because you mangled the FUCK out of that quote. There is a great deal of confusion about who said that quotation, and how. The main consensus is that it was either Ben Franklin or Thomas Jefferson. Here are a few examples from around the net of how people attribute that quote:
snip, snip
So who actually said it? Drum Roll please...
Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759: They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Actually, in October, the $300.00 14-hour Philips TiVo had a $100 Philips Rebate, and a $100 TiVo rebate, making it only $100. Not to mention that they had a TiVo-a-day (or was it 10 or 30 a day?) giveaway all October (is it still going on??). So there isn't much to complain about as far as price is concerned... You just have to find the deals.
It's not a direct complaint about price. The point is until the average consumer walks in to Circuit City and sees one sitting on the shelf for $100 it really doesn't make a difference. Why do you think companies would rather give you a rebate than just lop a hundred bucks off the price in the first place?
They are going to charge much higher registrations fees for.coop, and with this money they will do research and reviews to ensure that coop's are actually relavent
Oh yeah, that's gonna work great. According to the article "With access restricted to co-ops, however, smaller businesses that never found room on.com may discover the space they need."
So let's see. I'm MomAndPopCompanyX and I want to get on line. Oh no! MomAndPop.com is taken? I know, I'll use MomAndPop.coop. What? $75 bucks, for that much I can get.org,.net, MomAndPopStore.com and.net and still have money left over for dinner and a movie!
And more important than that, Joe and Jane Q. Public will actually look for MomAndPop.net, they don't know, and don't want to know about.coop!
> hehe.. uh oh... unsigned shorts range from 0 to 65535.. sorry
Actually a quick scan of eBay will show unsigned shorts going for much less than that.
I doubt even signed shorts would go that high! Maybe if they were signed and game-worn by Michael Jordan or someone like that. But 65535 sure seems high.
Whoa! Talking about getting knocked out of my seat. I was thinking exactly the same thing after reading the previous post.
Trying to start kids off by programming on a PS2 is nothing but a quick and easy way to turn the majority of them who try it off of programming. Quickly!
As soon as they realize the next 'Resident Evil Ripoff' isn't going to sprout fully grown out of their TV's with a couple clicks it's right back to the real thing for them.
I'm also not a ranting, old, frustrated 50 year old programmer. Even if I am older than 24 and started programming at around 10. Of course nothing serious until about 13. PDQ Pascal, baby!
I think a situation like this is where a person's vote really CAN matter, especially if you consider yourself an independent. Gore certainly doesn't need your vote, Bush can't use your vote. But a vote for a 3rd party candidate always helps because the popular vote IS important for them. If all the voters who don't feel strongly towards the Democrats or Republicans voted Green or Libertarian or anything else, it would truly help establish a viable 3rd party.

In Japan, bears make rugs out of you! Or something like that.
But, by the same token (evolution), our brains make us the best hunters on the planet.
As scary as it sounds I'm sure there are plenty of companies who would love to have their programmers strapped into these things.
PHB #1: Uh-oh looks like programmer #17 is daydreaming again.
PHB #2: Release the hounds!

People want to be able to record and "save" the video. Where's the version that works with Jaz 2GB carts?
Hmmm... would you be able to stream the video on/off a Jaz cartridge at a usuable frame rate??

As my old AI professor in college used to say:
"Saying a computer can think is like saying a submarine can swim"
Of course, he would then proceed to torture us with prolog, so maybe he wasn't so smart after all.
