This author seems to have a bias towards chrome from the start. How many times do you think chrome got an 11? (Nigel: "You see, most blokes will be playing at 10. Youâ(TM)re on 10, all the way up, all the way up...Where can you go from there? Nowhere. What we do, is if we need that extra push over the cliff...Eleven. One louder." DiBergi: "Why donâ(TM)t you just make 10 louder and make 10 be the top number, and make that a little louder?" )
I'd Like to point out that Computer science increasingly pays less every year and the market is saturated with talented IT professionals. It takes a lot a work to be good in this field and the reward dwindles every day. Women have a much easier time getting work that is less difficult and pays better.
Are these computers connected to the internet and providing some valuable service to its owners or the public? or is there a bunch of tech's sitting in a dark room playing WoW?
I looked at the map. Too bad it does not include the Caribbean Islands. I would love to fire up eclipse from my thatch roof hut overlooking sandy beaches and crystal blue water. Just thinking about that makes me really resent my cube-farm residence.
>People aren't getting banned for talking about >DRM. They are being banned for being jackasses >when they talk about DRM.
I doubt this is true. I am sure that being a jackass about anything other than DRM does not always get you banned, so the deciding factor about whether or not a user is being banned is whether or not the user is talking about DRM. Being a jackass only gives EA an excuse but EA is not targeting all jackasses for banishment across the board.
I see what you are saying but you have to view AS in the context of Ayn Rand's other work. She was not a Novelist. Yes she did write novels but that was not her expertise. Her expertise was actually in philosophy and politics. She founded her own philosophical discipline called "objectivism" and even published at least 2 books (The virtue of selfishness and Objectivism: the unknown ideal) and countless periodicals on her philosophical beliefs. All of her novels were meant to illustrate her political and Ideological beliefs with Characters that would give her arguments context. That is why Atlas Shrugged is a masterpiece. It brilliantly illustrates a philosophical stance without boring the reader to death or even requiring him/her to be aware of the underlying subtext.
Additionally I think her characters were extremely interesting but I think there were far too many to give any of them the complexity we are used to seeing in Novels. I would like to point out that she may have overdeveloped the minor characters (Owen Kellogg, Cherryl Brooks, Lillian Reardan) in lieu of adequately developing the main characters (Dagny, Hank, and John). Additionally if She had developed the characters to adequately deepen the story, the book would have been 30000 pages long.

This would be the same as if you built a line motorcycles in your garage out of spare parts and then tried to sell them as 2009 Harley sportster ZX11. While you may have built a perfectly good ride, maybe even better than the real harley, The Harley company cannot allow you to use their logos, insignia and decals without running significant risk of having their brand's reputation and quality ruined by your line of bikes.
This is all about protecting the quality of the software they have released. I
No this is not accurate. Morality of an action has absolutely no correlation to legality of an action. For example: It is wrong to cheat on your wife. But it is not and should not be illegal. Sex between men (broadly termed sodomy) was until very recently illegal in my state. However whether or not said action is Moral is a matter of debate. I know people who believe Eating meat is immoral. Should it be illegal????
The test of legality is best determined by whether or not said action requires any other individual to forfeit liberty or property in order for you to engage in your activities.

parent: Doctor, how did Jimmy's tonsillectomy go?
Doctor: It went really well. We got them tonsills out of there right quick
parent: so when can we see him?
Doctor: well, you see that's the thing. Jimmy had a fever so we had to get him cleared by the department of temperature moderation. So we sent him to the fifth floor. After determining the fever was "cause" by taking his temperature after Jimmy had eaten some soup, they noticed a discoloration on the back of his knee so they had to send him to the department of dermal consistency enforcement. The good news is that after a specialist saw him, it was determined that the discoloration was a birthmark but not before the specialist noticed the hangnail... To make an already long story short, the department of Upper Body Appendage Length Measurement noticed something wrong with his blood work so he has been moved to an unknown location until the Department of Biological Attack Prevention determines that he is no longer a threat. Also the bill for the tonsillectomy is 487 thousand dollars but don't worry, John Q Taxpayer is picking up the tab.
I'm not sure what you mean. If I rememeber 8th grade lit, Atlas Shrugged had tons of sex. the Dagney Taggert character was passed around like a 2 dollar hooker at a batchelor party.
I have had this problem and I addressed it at the time. One of the things you have to be worried about is not only all the factors you described but what will you do when winter comes and the office users decide they want heat instead of AC??? What I did is I I piped a flexible duct extension to the "server room" which was really just a big closet and during the summer I allowed the vent to sit in the grid ceiling instead of the ceiling tile. When winter came I pushed the vent up into the drop ceiling and replaced it with a regular ceiling tile. this did the trick for a while. I also had the benefit of having the closet positioned against an exterior wall. Without a duct in the closet it got pretty cold in there.
Of course if you have any budget whatsoever you will be able to find better solutions if you hunt for portable air condition units. All of them will require more than 110 outlet. But I do remember seeing some that did not need the drain to be piped. Some of them that I have seen have a hot air return that you you vent into the drop ceiling and the condensation is pumped into a little pan with a heating element. It evaporates the water into the hot air return along with the heat produced by the compressor. As long as you are not concerned about what happens with the air return this might be a solution that will work. YMMV
WTF does "is pants" mean. MS Vista could be defined as an operating system but unless MS is trying something completely new it is definitely not men's apparel. What is this new X is pants thing going around?
My brother's company got hit with this 2 weeks agao. The attack is really quite brilliant because it obfuscates the sql being sent. the injection was appended to a parameter in the URL string (as is usually done in sql injection). The really clever part is that the injected code almost completely obfuscated so even a trained developer might miss it. Here is what was appended to the URI: id=1471-3';DECLARE @S CHAR(4000);SELECT CAST(0x44454[abreviated]572736F72 AS CHAR(4000)); EXEC(@S); 302
When the cast statenent is executed, it converts the hex into the following sql and then executes it.
DECLARE @T varchar(255),
@C varchar(4000) DECLARE Table_Cursor CURSOR
FOR select a.name,
b.name
from sysobjects a,
syscolumns b
where a.id = b.id
and a.xtype = 'u'
and ( b.xtype = 99
or b.xtype = 35
or b.xtype = 231
or b.xtype = 167
) OPEN Table_Cursor FETCH NEXT FROM Tab
if you have written your own home-made sql escape method, it is extremely possible that you might not have thought of preventing hex values. YMMV
I would like to point out that psystar is doing more than just mac clones. They are a general purpose PC vendor. You can have linux on your box from them if you choose. I have been looking at their servers and I am quite impressed with specs vs price. I could build a server cheaper than they are selling but I can't argue with the specs (not sure about the guarantee). I will be considering them the next time I upgrade my server hardware.
I am a creationist and I believe in the literal translation of the 7 day creation. But this is absurd. Creationism is part of a doctrine of *FAITH*. There is no way to prove it. It was never observed and it cannot be tested. It therefore has no basis in science at all. If Louisiana wants to teach creationism, they should have an elective world religion class and it should be covered as a minor footnote as part of Christianity (Maybe Judaism?). I am appalled when either side of this debate tries to pass their personal beliefs off as science. Look, if it can't be observed, tested and reproduced then the answer to the question "We just don't know".
you are all missing my original point. Google is open sourcing a tool to read/write a data interchange format that they developed from interaction with Google. Why was the tool necessary in the first place? because They introduced yet another data interchange format. How is this a step forward? This is ANOTHER proprietary format.
God this is SOOOOOO pretentious. Fine I am gonna build a machine that searches through my DVD collection and retrieves the disc for the user. You will still have to put the dvd in the player yourself and it won't work with any collection but my own but praise me anyway.
How do you "Open Source" a Data Interchange format. There is no source to open? You just specify a format and distribute the specs to your trading partners and there you go. I am getting so damn sick and tired of open source this and open source that. The words "open Source" have specific meaning. It is not a catch all term friendly licensing. So Google published the format it uses to push data around. Big Fuckin Deal. In case anyone is interested. I organize my dvd collection by genre and title alpabetically on a book shelf. Look mom, I open sourced my data storage format. Ridiculous.
I like the idea of taking my domain name and making it my tld but my fear is what would happen to control of TLDs. What if some enterprising individual bought *.shopping. Every retailer in the world would want their domain at.shopping which is fine until its owner begins holding it for ransome. You can only use the.shopping suffix if you pay me to provide DNs for this tld. This would effectively create a tiered namespace landscape where pronouncable generic names are owned by huge corporations and access is expensive. I will end up with mydomain.254kdwNot cool. Or maybe the current maintainers of the other TLDs will also be responsible for any new tlds created. Although I fail to see how this could only hurt performance alongside the current naming system.
