You're starting with the assumption that the media in the US is "strongly left-leaning and biased", and would try to hurt the Bush admin. if possible. However, that assumption isn't valid. If the media was trying to make the Bush admin. look bad, why didn't they pound to death the "Seven Minutes of Fear" on 9/11? I don't recall that footage -ever- being shown on any major media outlet, and it REALLY makes Bush look bad.
Neocons like to whine about the "liberal media" because occasionally they report something that doesn't match with the right-wing worldview. Get over it; reality doesn't always follow dogma.
I'll chuck on another "Me Too" here. And I groove on the fact that they don't charge money for a non-WaMu customer using a WaMu ATM. That doesn't help ME any, but it buys them some goodwill from me anyway.
I take it you haven't been paying too much attention to the news from Afghanistan, then. The new government has control of one city, and even then it's kind of shaky. The rest of the country is hell. I wish'em luck; it's just too bad that Bush and friends don't seem to be paying too much attention to that area anymore.
For C++, you gotta recompile even if the interface doesn't change. Since a lot of compile-time linking is done (as opposed to all-run-time linking in Java) any changes to classes require recompilation/relinking. Or else all the offsets are wrong and KABLAMMOSegmentation Fault
But in reading your post, I realized that I'm not sure what constitutes a psychological addiction. Is it simply the pleasure, as you suggest? Because most of my friends emphasize the role of stimuli. It's easy to quit smoking -- until you go out to a bar or coffee house, or you've been driving for 30 minutes, or you're at a party, etc.
Damn right it's the stimuli. I've tried to quit several times before, and at one point even got to the 3 month mark. No physical cravings at all were left after that much time. But I went and visited some friends and we went out to our usual haunts (bar, coffeehouse, restaurant), and I had an irresistable urge to light up. I didn't even get any pleasure from starting again; just overwhelming force of habit. Now I'm back to where I started and I have to start the whole freakin' process over again. Bleah.
Okay, good advice. But how the hell do people who are still entry/junior level GET the business experience they need without getting a job in the first place?
By outsourcing all the low-end stuff to India, the next generation of developers is getting fucked, because the bottom rungs of the ladder have been sold.
For me, it runs just peachy on an XP 1700, MX2 400 (IIRC), and 512 MB RAM. If UT2003 runs okay for you, AA:Ops should. I dunno why you're having problems.
I'd also like to plug AAO:TOPS, where you can vouch for people you think are good team players. I'm one of the devs, so go check it out and increase the traffic.:)
And the United States has declared war on -who- ? The situation you are talking about is completely different than what this story is about. There is no declared war, there is no tangible enemy, there is no end-game. When does Padilla get released ? When The Government of Terrorism surrenders?
The scary part about the Pidilla case is that the Gubmint wants to be able to call anyone an "Enemy Combatant" (or POW) and be able to lock them up without a trial, without a lawyer, without ANY due process.Ashcroft SAYS that Padilla is a member of Al Qaeda and was planning on setting off a dirty bomb, but how do we KNOW that?

It's not flawed. Digging is a lot more expensive, so elevating the rail makes sense. My only concern is if the company the ETC contracts with goes out of business; then it gets hairy.
One of the amusing things about the monorail is that, in the last month or so, there have been two breakdowns on the old monorail here. Firetrucks and ladders to get the tourists off the thing. heh. If that were a regular occurance, people might get a bit pissed...
Well, perhaps compared to what you're used to, Seattle's bus system sucks. BUT, compared to what I (or a lot of people) are used to, Seattle's bus system is awesome, unfortunately. You mention the 73: the 73 is a fucking godsend to me, seeing as my usual communte involves Bremerton-ferry to 73 to the UD, and the 73 works great. BTW, busses in downtown stop every 2 blocks, not every block. But I grok your idea; I'd like a stop every 4 blocks instead of 2. I mean, hell. Who can't walk 2 fucking blocks?
And, I know most of the traffic is east-side to downtown, but if I got a job on the east side I'd still live downtown. Eastside is suburban stripmall wasteland. Fuckthat; I want lunch at Mai Phim and sunday nights at the Irish Emigrant.
It's a theory with a whole hell of a lot of supporting evidence. Just because its called a "theory" does not mean that it has only as much validity as anything else people call a "theory". Hell, do you even know what the scientific definition of a "theory" is ?
Remember that relativity is "just" a theory. Our understanding of gravity is just a "theory". By your reasoning, my "theory" that gravity is caused by invisible bungee cords has just as much validity as the current Theory of Gravity. Which is, of course, bull.
You're right, but EM, strong, and weak have been linked, gravity hasn't been (yet). Of course, they only become equivelent when the temperature is something like 40 bazillion degress C, but hey.
Anyway. Some current theories -do- claim a long-range force like gravity that is repulsive, but I'm not sure if the force is actually from/between objects, or a result of vacuum state. (I just read _The Last Three Minutes_, and I hope I didn't mangle stuff too badly. Funky cool book, and a fairly easy read for geeks w/out a lot of physics training.)
If he tries to not pay attention to the signes, he's gonna need to wear a pair of blinders. Yeesh. 200 miles of solid "X MILES TO WALL DRUG" billboards.
He should, however, go see the Corn Palace.
And, he should stop and visit the Beaver Creek Recreation Area.

Good point, but I'd just like to point out that they're putting Opportunity to deep sleep each night, not Spirit.

You misread. He said to resist NOT using your mouse to look around. Meaning, use your mouse to look around.
Yeah, it was kind of clunky wording. I had to look twice, too.

I'd think an even more Obvious answer is to have the switch/thermostat fixed. But maybe that's just me...

You shoulda made it say "STOP POKING ME!".
Yeah, no crap. We need to add a third level to the standard real-world networking model soon. HTTP/TCP/IP. Port 80's turned into a ho!

Wrong. Use some logic here.
Possibilities:
1) It was an unsubtle attempt at propaganda
2) It was a subtle attempt at propaganda
3) It was not propaganda.
As you can see, there are 3 options. If option 1 is eliminated, there are still two options. The original poster could have meant either.
And for some reason the idea of a goatcex nebula makes me think of Lovecraft. Horror and evil beyond comprehension...
And I bet NetBSD runs on it, too!
And the United States has declared war on -who- ?

It's a perl mathematical operator. The result is a small number that continually grows in size.

Ta hell with dat. Shoot up some morphine for the pain; it also makes the drive much more interesting. Wooooo.....
