Good to know. I've always said there aren't enough condescending assholes in the world. If there's one thing that encourages careful analysis it's smug arrogance.
Btw, I've been programming in C for about 15 years.
So? The language specification includes a standard library of functions. Stdio and stdlib are the declarations for specific functions and types found in the C library. To be called an ANSI C compiler your compiler must provide access to things like printf.
I think the problem is that the joke isn't funny. Since one of the distinguishing traits of a joke is being funny, this joke is hard to recognize as a joke.
To those who find this joke funny, I recommend suicide. You're perverting the one thing that could make the world a happier place.
I've got a Mac running OS X 10.3, a PC running XP Pro, an Ultra 60 running Solaris 9, a Blade 100 running Solaris 8, an Octane running IRIX 6.5.22, an HP B180L running HP-UX 11i, a PC running OpenBSD and a PC running Linux. They all suck, it's just the method and extent of sucking that varies.
My daughter starting sleep through the night immediately (well, within a week of being home). I've found the cheap purely audio baby monitors to be perfect: at night I can just hear the babies' breathing. I can't imagine wanting a camera pointed at her all the time. Kinda creepy.
Why should anyone care about the political opinion of someone who can't even be bothered to vote?
So, if I actually vote for Mickey Mouse my opinion is worth more than if I consider voting for Kerry? Not sure if I disagree or not, but it seems like an odd idea.
If that's the case the letter is a pretty blatant lie. Since when does the vast majority people wish to be protected from free downloads of popular music?
"Our Consumers" in this context can only refer to recording labels. So it's almost official, the constituents of state attorney generals are businesses not people.
gconfd-2 is also a broken database server. On my two systems using Gnome 2.6 (Solaris and RedHat), gconfd periodically goes rogue and eats all configuration. Gnome poorly implemented what was a bad idea in Windows.
Consequentially I use either WindowMaker, WinXP or OS X.
Not sure what you feel is wrong with the current method?
So is there a menu editor? I've never spotted one anywhere.
Sounds good. Are you able to send email to AOL? WideOpenWest doesn't block my SMTP server, bu at least AOL and Adelphia won't accept email from me because I use cable.
Anonymous Cowards filtered. If their words aren't worth so much as a pen name why should I value them any more?
Because your words apparently are worth a pen name, but still mananged to be completely worthless. It logically follows that pen names aren't worth anything.
Children are NOT grown adults, they are being _trained_ to be good adults.
Not always. Teachers can also train children to be horrible adults. Teachers can train children to be sheep, or teachers can train children to be reasonable adults. I've seen more teachers attempting the former.
The teacher should not _have_ to be a educational version of Patch Adams (or even be exceptional) to be respected... just a human being doing his job.
Well then we're using the word respect differently. I'm all for being polite and well mannered in all but the most extreme cases. I don't think that is respect. I will not tell my child to yield their opinion to their teacher's opinion simply because of age or a teaching certificate.
Remember a teacher is "just a human being doing his job." No different than a janitor, developer, CEO or stripper. Be nice to everyone, but no one's opinion deserves anymore deference because of their profession.
When a kid is in fifth grade, that is not the time to be questioning authority. Questioning authority at that age is just being disrepectful to your elders.
Respect is earned. If my daughters's teacher is a complete idiot, I will tell them so.
My sister's third grade teacher told the class that red headed children aren't as smart. If you silently accept that from a teacher you are a pathetic excuse for a parent, and are doing a disservice to your child.
Kids need to respect thier teachers.
Teachers need to earn that respect. I have rarely seen a respectable teacher not get the respect they deserve.
Ah..that's the scientific definition I believe. Things we call sex, like oral sex and anal sex, are not really sex at all. Entertainment maybe, but not sex.
So? What's the problem?
It may have some part. I feel most of that issue it tied to the unreal expectation of a vow of celibacy. In their own belief system, God created sex and commanded people to be fruitful and multiply. In other words God made sex good.
Fine, but are we talking about actual sex or all the fun stuff that goes with it? God didn't make sex good, he made the penis and clitoris sensitive.
Yes, I never said it wasn't, just keep it context.
Sure, but what's that context? Lots of horrible things can happen with sexual problems, but most of those can be traced to social influences treating sex like something that is shamefull.
As for my luck. I'm happily married with four wonderful children who know their dad.
Good. So what are you basing your opinion of porn's evils on? Remember, perverts who are happy aren't complaining. Personally I find porn uninteresting, because I have good sex often enough.
Some inner city areas have 80%!!! of the children born to single mothers.
I've lived in an area like that. Porn wasn't common. Sluts were. Drugs were. Welfare was. If you can find one shred of evidence that porn is to blame I would be very interested.
Are you willing to be a father to the fatherless? Or are you too self absorbed?
I don't know what that means. Do I care about scores of inner city bastards? Nope. Do I care about suburban children who live with their happily married parents? Nope.
I am self absorbed. Humans are primarily motivated by greed.
So, in the viewing of porn the boy defines an expectation of what sex is like to be enjoyable. But he grows up and gets married and the wife doesn't want to take a load on her face or in her mouth. But all those pictures said that was good sex.
So really your hypothetical problems could be blamed on marrying women with Puritan tendencies? Should sex be limited to only what is required for reproduction? Are you going to blame porn for all those Catholic priests molesting little boys? Has it occurred to you that sex might be natural and is enjoyable for a good reason?
Time Warner doesn't officially allow mail servers either, but they actively probe you for being an open relay and warn you to fix it before they cancel your account. Pretty good policy I think. After I moved I had to switch to Wide Open West, which also doesn't allow mail servers but also doesn't enforce the rule.
The only problems I have with my mail server is that I can't send to AOL, and really why would I want to do that?
And I am find it rather funny that someone who HAS internet acces should complain.
You think only people without internet access are able to say whether they need it or not?
And don't try and rebuttle this with the old "Well we didn't need the internet when I was in school" bit either. Thats because you didn't need to be computer literate back in the day. You can't get an office McJob these days without basic understanding of email and the internet.
What part of school requires internet access? Math? Science? History? Do you think schools should be preparing students for McJobs? What email client should schools teach?
Sorry if English isn't your native language, but your entire post shows a horrible lack of education. Your abuse of grammar further convinces me that public schools should concentrate on education and leave job training to trade schools. As soon as the American educational system quits churning out illiterate lazy children maybe they should look into expanding the topics taught.
Regardless of how well you know your web browser, your post makes you look like an uneducated fast food "lifer."
We just don't know these things. We are primitive creatures afterall.
So which is it?
We don't know anything about any extraterrestrial life; if Earth is any measure, the vast majority of life forms aren't even close to intelligent (ie. mold, trees, sea slugs, Bush...). As depressing as it may be, it is quite possible that we are not such primitive creatures.
If you leave the doors to your house open, and a large neon sign over the threshold saying 'WELCOME', you'll be *damned* lucky if your insurer would pay up.
This is more like just leaving your doors unlocked. There is no protocol for a system to advertise it's vulnerabilities.
Without regard to whether your doors were locked it is illegal to steal things from your house.

Strange, I've gotten less tolerant. I have a kid. Why the fuck would I want to hear about yours?
Where do you follow the palestinian view of the middle east conflict?
Why should anyone care about the political opinion of someone who can't even be bothered to vote?

I can see you someone either right or left of me would not like what i'm saying, but that doesn't make me a troll.
But you're not saying anything; you're making vague unfounded accusations.
Oh, but everyone will rush to upgrade .NET?

gconf _is_ a tree of text config files in .gconf .
gconfd-2 is also a broken database server. On my two systems using Gnome 2.6 (Solaris and RedHat), gconfd periodically goes rogue and eats all configuration. Gnome poorly implemented what was a bad idea in Windows.
Consequentially I use either WindowMaker, WinXP or OS X.
Not sure what you feel is wrong with the current method?
So is there a menu editor? I've never spotted one anywhere.
You pay a price, however, in terms of functionality: OpenOffice's XML formats give you today what MS Office still just promises.
What functionality is provided by OpenOffice's XML that MS Office is promising?
