The original post was scored 5 - Insightful; you're so-called correction only rated a 2. I read comments scored at a 3 or better. So who's stupid? You are for getting it wrong in the first place as well as everyone who rated it up to 5.
Just because you have a police uniform and a badge doesn't necessarily make you a cop. I can go buy a police uniform, fake badge and a gun tomorrow and have myself a blast with it. If I have to identify myself to a cop, the cop has to positively identify {him,her}self to me. That's all there is to it.
The same network (CBS) that uses pyrotechnics (20/20) to "demonstrate" what happens when a full sized pickup was hit - because it wouldn't catch on fire otherwise?
The "demonstration" in question happened on Dateline which is an NBC show; not 20/20 which was on ABC and not CBS.
I don't see any problem with this, or with shows like the Daily Show. They are fun, and they people they pick on even can have fun too, if they just will roll with it and take a joke.
Funny, I feel the same about rape. It's fun, and the person getting raped can even have fun too, if they just roll with it and take it.
Seriously, it may be funny until it happens to you, then shit'll hit the fan, wont it? To fuck someone up the ass like that for the sake of fucking someone up the ass isn't funny; it's sick. Now maybe if it happens to you, I'll laugh. I guess it's no use being an expert at anything, then, if no one will take you seriously, huh?
I've had two years of Data Processing classes in high school. Five years of Computer Science/Computer Engineering courses in college; due to switching colleges and majors, I got a AAS degree out of all of it. During all this, I was a programmer in the Army Reserve (mainly COBOL on blue and gray IBM boxes). My first job out of college, running a little Atari 520ST maintaining a mailing list and doing some desktop publishing and A/R. Then I was unemployed for a whole year. That year, I got a PC and dBase IV and learned database stuff. This pretty much got me to my current employer where I'm pretty much a developer; not really general stuff, more specialized and visual with some Oracle PL/SQL once in a great while.
If anything, all I got out of the courses in high school and college is basic problem solving skills. These improved once I got to the "real world". The more useful skills I've had were learned while on the job or of my own volition. Any pieces of paper I received only kept my resumè from the waste basket. It's not that I haven't contemplated getting certified. It's that there has been no justification for my doing so.
it's not so much CIOs as HR departments that consider these certs so heavily. Ultimately, they're worth about as little as college degrees and high school diplomas.
And Sun can include bits of the code in the next version of Java, and Linus Torvalds can include bits of the code in the next version of the Linux kernel and a FreeBSD contributor can include bits of the code in the FreeBSD-CURRENT, etc., etc., ad nauseum. Therefore, what's your point?
(I bet most of the pots in your/your mom's kitchen have some aluminium in them. Mine have little aluminium discs on the bottom. Except for the ones that are cast iron.)
True, but the better ones, IMHO, have copper bottoms instead of aluminum (or aluminium for our friends in Old Blighty). Copper seems to be a better heat conductor than others, or at least spreads it out more evenly.
Now for electricity, silver would actually be a better choice.
More on-topic, This has actually been done, before. There are a number of laptop pads which either tilt the laptop up, so the heat would rise up and away from it, or have fans underneath to help dissipation along. I use one of the former at home with my TiBook, however I still find myself getting an excessively warm lap from where the stand traps my body heat. Either that or it could be from all the porn I've been watching.:)
It is not too late to learn to be a plumber, or a car mechanic.
Ironically, I wanted to learn Auto Mechanics when I was in high school. But, NO! I decided to listen to my parents and learn Data Processing, instead. The moral of the story is, if your parents tell you to choose a career that'll be outsourced by the time you're middle-aged, tell them to go fuck themselves.
Others have already mentioned the really bad ones. I'd only add Parasite Eve (Japanese) and Street Fighter (Jean-Claude Van Damme, Raul Julia, *yikes!*).
However, I wouldn't mind seeing a movie version of Leather Goddesses of Phobos.
Among the groups targeted by Operation Fastlink are well-known organizations such as Fairlight, Kalisto, Echelon, Class and Project X, all of which specialized in pirating computer games, and music release groups such as APC.
Place your bets, everybody. I know which one I'd bet my money on. WTF was the DOJ thinking?
After installing the update, my Ti800 rebooted and was fine. I closed the lid until the next day and had no connectivity. I ended up having to hard reset the ABS (dual-ethernet, not Extreme) and upload firmware via the LAN port. ABS settings had to be redone, but I got it back up. Docs for doing the above are here.
Which begs the question: if they were all jumping off a bridge, would you do so, too?
Well, it's either jump or get pushed off by all the people behind you.
Yes, and just like Microsoft, they'll do whatever they want without fear of reprisal. You don't have to buy their product. Of course, you'll be treated like a criminal. Hope you have the courage to deal with it.
We license Car drivers, because a bad car driver is a danger to others as well as himself. Increasingly it is becoming clear that inexperienced users must fall in the same category.
Yep, look at all the lives destroyed by careless internet use. Look at how many people are dead from inexperience with computers.:)
Damn, these strawman arguments are getting tiresome.
SCO has been a Microsoft project from the day it first started 15-20 years ago. I knew that 10 years ago. So when I read something like this, it's hardly surprising to me. Is it really surprising to anyone else?
If you can live with the fact that businesses can use your gratis work without even giving back their contribution, bugfixes etc, that's fine, use BSD licence.
But if you want your contribution to the society to stay open, with all the enhancements, use GPL.
Hello, Mr. Strawman. 8) How would my software be any more or less open in using the BSD license vs. the GPL? It's still my software, right? BTW, anyone, businesses included, can modify GPL'd code and are not required to make freely available their source code changes as long as they don't distribute the derivative work.
He said that it wouldn't happen because Sun didn't want to see multiple versions of Java out there.
But is that not the point? The last time I looked Sun only makes their Java available from their website for Windows, Solaris and Linux. If I want Java for Mac OS X, I have to use Apple's. If I want Java for FreeBSD, I have to use FreeBSD's. If I want Java for HP-UX, I have to use HP's. Sure, it may look like Java, but it's not really Java unless it's from Sun.

This is, of course, only one side of it. If there is no anonymity, people will not speak their minds because of retaliation. No more whistle-blowers.

So, unless you have some buds at the cable/telco to hook you up, you're fucked. You'll have to put up with static HTML; enjoy.

Free Speech only applies to the government. So while the government can't legally tell you to shut the fuck up, I and Mr. 9mm here can.
Never heard of farm subsidies, huh?

It's pining for the fiords. Lovely bird, COBOL. Beautiful plumage.

Although I like Perl,
I am beginning to like
Python even more.
