Umm, perl doesn't handle cookies. Your scripts, written in perl do. Whatever problems you may have with your cookies, chances are very good it's because you didn't write the code correctly in the first place. --
When will plug-in makers realize that there is a larger market out there who may also be interested in their product?
The problem with this 'larger' market, is that it doesn't really exist. The number of people surfing the net and using linux/bsd on the desktop is miniscule, even compared to the Macintosh, let alone wintell.
Java applets show some promise, but write-once, debug everywhere is still a problem.
My God! What was the turnover like at that place? --

Death March
·
· Score: 2
Momentary genius in a crunch situation isn't the essence of a Death March. A death march is rarely a one-person situation. My first large programming job was 5 years of Death March after Death March, until the company died. For the most part, the causes were business related, not tech related. We were under-funded, over-extended, and grew too fast. We had a salesman, and company CEO who could never say no to a client. We never had enough money to meet current payroll, so we sold future programming time for current expenses. As a new programmer, and still naive, I didn't see what was happening until it was too late. --
I agree with you 99%, with the exception of voting for Browne. I could be a libertarian, I suppose, except for abortion. I am pro-life, not a single-issue pro-lifer, but nontheless, I can't vote for a pro-abortion candidate, if there is a pro-life candidate who isn't a complete moron *coughBuchanancough*.
I'm under no illusions that the issue really lies in the states, but the president has a significant role in the issue:
Supreme Court Appointments
Federal funding of Fetal Tissue research
FDA approval of abortifacient drugs
How a candidate thinks about life issues tells a great deal about his character.
Rich neighbor hood is exactly the point. Schools in the US are generally paid for in property taxes. The schools in the wealthy parts should have better facilities. It's only fair. --
The damn Russians haven't got enough cash to keep up with their responsibilities towards the spiffy, NEW space station, but they can come up with enough to keep that crappy old double-wide trailer-park POS MIR in orbit awhile longer...
Is anyone else in the USA getting sick of carrying the load for the rest of the planet?
Not when I'm requesting new hardware, but it is an important point when I have to make due with whatever crap I can scrounge. We regularly start building stuff on crap, and once it's rolled into production, we justify the expenditure for new/better hardware. --
To a large extent, Linux is still in the hobbyist category. That's no a bad thing, it's just a recognition that it's not shrink-wrapped for general consumption. There is still a very high bar a person needs to jump over before Linux becomes truly accessible. Those of us using linux for business purposes recognize this, and we are willing to take this into account when we make risk assesments. --
Einstein had NOTHING to say against Warp Drive. That's the point. FTL, as described in Star Trek is entirely consistent with Einstein. By 'warping' the shape of space around the ship, you create a gravity 'wake', which moves the rest of the universe around you.
It would be much simpler, and take far less energy to simply alter reality with the mathematics on a waiter's order pad.
The phone is clipped to your belt, and you are using a headset/earbud and microphone. You are then in full-mode, just as if you have it by your head. --

What you are talking about is a feature of MSIE for the Macintosh. THere is a Summarize feature that is pretty cool.

Or maybe if Taco actually read his own board once and a while, he might have decided redundancy was not needed in this case.

It looks pretty, though.

So all I have to do is submit my virus to this, and infect my intranet?
I'll pass, thanks anyway.
