I still remember dear mom and dad telling me... "Spanish! Why the heck would you ever need to know Spanish! You should learn French, it's the international language of business and diplomacy."
You must be my long-lost evil step-twin! I was started in French language study at the age of 8 or (whatever 4th grade is) and had it hammered at me for 7 years.
And after 7 years - yes only 7 years - of study I can say "La chat est dans la maison"
It is interesting that after 0 years of study of Spanish, I can say "El gato esta en la casa". Well, it's interesting to me anyway
No need to worry. The *cough* synthetic DNA is right-handed. You can't eat *cough* it and it *cough* can't *cough* *cough* it can't *cough* *cough* it it *cough* *graack* *graaaaaack*
M&M Mars?? GIVING away research?? "The CIA of the candy industry"?? The company that won't even give plant tours to schoolchildren for fear of exposing trade secrets?? The candy company with NDAs?? The company that won't even reply to schoolchildren's letters with *promotional* *literature*??
90% of the software life cycle is maintenance so any o these here design "principles" you fancy-schmancy PHDs come up with that don't create code that's *trivially* easy to maintain is bullsheet *spit*
Dip into the little book "The Martian Principles for Successful Enterprise Systems: 20 Lessons Learned from NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Mission" by Ronald Mak (John Wiley & Sons - ISBN 9780471789659) for a smattering of generic language-and-project-size-agnostic Good Processes.
Now help me get my walker so ins I kin git me tobaccy *spit*
Maybe this is just step one. Step two being, "They're too clever, our only choice is to shut all of USENET down." After all, it's just the seedy "back-alley" of the internet according to TFA.
Funny you should say that...
RoadRunner/TWC in Columbus, OH is discontinuing USENET as of 6/23/08. Their stated reason is "lack of subscriber interest". I'm guessing the real reason is that it's a whole lot easier to just junk all of USENET rather than try to police which newsgroups have devious child pornography (some with animals!!) in them.
"Boy Scouts? They're close-minded Christian big(g)ots not open-minded people like us! Fuck 'em!"
"Yeah!"
"Ditto!"
"Me Too!"
"I HATE Republicans!"
"Yeah!"
"Me Too!"
"Ditto!
"And Microsoft! I HATE Microsoft!"
"Yeah!"
You don't use an acoustic modem?? How'd you get on this board?? Sheesh.
And those 8-inch single-sided 160k floppies are *perfect* for storing pr0n! I use mine to store my collection of ASCII-art pictures of Playboy playmates. Drool, drool. You can get a really good selection if you know the right boards to call.
We at Microsoft have recently noticed that open source software is important in the IT world and would like very much to help you make all your open source projects run flawlessly on our closed source OS.
We do not think that without our help you would tie your open source code directly into our proprietary APIs and therefore you would lose all the benefits of tying into Windows that will accrue to us ^H^H you.
Except that since they're *Australian* Stellar Cows they would, of course, carry lethal neurotoxins in their prehensile tails and have HUGE razor-sharp claws instead of hooves and be meat-eating blood-drinkers.
Ya can't beat a good "Lint party" after all the testing is done! You'll find all kinds of cool stuff that slipped through your testing suites.
However, static code analysis is just one part of the bug-finding process. For example, in your list, in my limited experience, I have found that buffer overflows and NULL pointer derefs get spotted really well. Race conditions? Memory leaks? Hmm. Not so good.
YMMV. Don't expect magic. Oh to hellwithit, just let the end-users test it *ow!*
Just a fast comment and then I've gotta get back to my war against our Texas Ant Overlords before they destroy humanity.
I recently had to upgrade our household to XP from Windows2000 (because my wife got a new phone)(a new PHONE! - kill me now) and, from personal experience with two computer "users", I can say that it's just as important, if not more, to have a "guru" around for XP as it is for any Linux install.
If I had mod points they would be yours. Right on. Damn straight. Effin A. Doom3 absolutely rocked for about an hour or two and then... "get on with it!!". I have a nagging feeling that Doom4 won't exactly be Bioshock.
The term "super-genius" was coined in modern English in 1952 in "Operation: Rabbit". The fact that the supposedly encyclopedic Wikipedia refuses to index on this term, despite my frequent repeated submissions of well thought out and quite lengthy protest emails, just goes to show their blighted pig-ignorance.

No, no, no. Just a little radiation leak. Give us a minute to lock it down.
... uh ... oh look! We found it! It was here all along! We're fine here ... now. How are you?
Uh, negative, negative, don't come in here
Now I'm sure that no Slashdot reader will intentionally watch the Olympics
There. Fixed that for you. You're welcome.

I have absolutely no problem with you ...

I DO have a problem with you
FAScinating. May I submit more of my potential actions for your review as to their morality? Do you have a newsletter to which I can subscribe?

Yes, it happened ~100 million years ago and from our point of view we just watched it in real time.
And the sun in the sky is 8 minutes old.
And your conscious mind is 1/2 second behind.
And I'd really rather you not remind me of disturbing things like this and leave me in peace with my bottle of Cragganmore. Now go away.

Oh. Wait. Maybe I can. But Cinerama rulz anyway.

Here's a short-hand way to think of it. The speed of light whatever it is in whatever medium you're in is the speed limit for that medium.
If you can find a medium where light goes 2MPH, nothing, including Capt. Picard, can go any faster than 2MPH.
and then say
So. Us had no self control and was diggin in the dirt for some do it yourself security, eh?
*ow* What?
additionally im spiritualist, kinda a neo hippie. but chinese are annoying me with all kinds of aggression they are practicing.
Kewel. It's good to know that. I can now relax knowing that you are not a racist but are a spiritualist kinda a neo hippie. Thanks.
I, on the other hand, think tuna are evil.
