Everything was black and white back then. Its just that everything turned to color in the early 20th century. The color paintings you see? Well, a lot of great artists were insane, so were painting in color way back when.
It would appear that this guy's camera was quite insane as well.
Creating a private, non-interoperable network is silly. The value of a network is proportional to the square of its size (Metcalfe's Law). Correspondingly, dividing a network into n partitions makes the value of the network 1/nth its original value.
Interoperable IM clients is inevitable. The right thing to do it make it happen, however it needs to be make to happen.
It sounds like they weren't really doing extreme programming then. They may have been following some of the principles of it, and calling it "XP".
Things never worked once? The unit tests should be telling you that. And after refactoring, the unit tests should still pass.
I'd suggest a good reading of _XP Explained_ and possible _XP Installed_, compared and contrasted with the practices at your GFs job, may shed some light on what was actually going on.
Amongst all these other examples, it's probably worth noting that SQL is a declarative language. Basically, it allows you to express the results -- without worrying about the procedure used to generate the results.
Actually, they make pretty bad frisbees. To begin with, they lack the flight-producing shape that causes a frisbee to generate lift when thrown. Along with that, they're dreadfully overstable, and thus will hook sharply to the left when thrown with clockwise rotation.
Want to eliminate corporate financing of campaigns? Make airtime free. Think the media corporations won't go for that? That's too bad. We own the airwaves, not the corporations. We can take them back if we want.
I guess I'd be judged a smartass if I handed in the algorithm that builds all possible arrangments of the array, and then figures out which one is sorted correctly?
Once, I tried to tell the project manager that we needed new boards or different software because the software we used needs 64 bits of data when our boards could only give 32 bits. The manager insisted that I make it work, anyway. I told the manager that I could not get 64 bits out of a 32 bit chip.
Sure ya can. Just fill the lowest 32 bits with BEEF.
I beleive that what Taco is saying is that, since he runs a site that draws most if not all of its revenue from advertising, it would be hypocritical of him to use Junkbuster to block ads on other sites, thus depriving them of their revenue.
Personally, I'd support micropayments on/., with the notion that there was a periodic cap of say, $5 or $10 per year. What I gain from reading/. far outstrips that payment.
Well, IE 5 for MacOS is actually 100% (or 99.5%, depending on interpretation) standards compliant. Why, then, is using IE for MacOS a problem? It seems like a win on that particular platform.
Of course, it also raises some serious questions as to why IE 5.x for Win is *not* 100% compliant.
JPython doesn't compile python to java bytecodes. Well, I suppose it does, sort of, in the end, but not in the.java ->.class compilation that people think of.
JPython is a Java implementation of the Python interpreter. Rather than running on Linux or Windows or [foo], it runs on the Java platform.
The fact that you can use Java classes like python classes is kind of a neat feature, though.

They weren't ingenious enough to set us up the bomb.
I applaud the kid with the ingenuity to kill others after he has killed himself.
The malapropism police say that you need an odd kind of toe truck to tow the party line.

I don't know. What if Yahoo were acquired?
Hemos, meet the subjunctive mood. The subjunctive mood, meet Hemos.
The real quesion is...did "Antitrust" make them money?
Being ever optimistic, we're unilaterally lowering fetters constraining limitless, unrestricted systems technology, even retro-computing.
It almost makes sense, if you read between the lines...

But then again, I'm a frisbee snob.
Apparently you're just a bunch of yaks. Or maybe even vegans.

You mean you didn't ask them:

I could even tell you that it's O(n!). Yikes!
Sure ya can. Just fill the lowest 32 bits with BEEF.
I would guess the device works by picking up the audio coming from your car, then comparing it to the output of known radio stations in the area.
Just gotta mic each parking space.
Doesn't Keep-Alive in HTTP/1.1 take care of the problem of sending multiple resources for one page?
Though I definitely agree with you about the whole multiple-version of a single resource thing (foopic2.jpg/foopic2.fractal)
You apparently also had no idea that Hiawatha Bray was a "he".

Wouldn't it be more of a process audit? Things like:
If you want more control over what's posted, use kuro5hin instead.
