Faugh. You could take the source for Eliza, do a global search/replace, and you're there.
Eliza: Hey, big boy, what would you like to see?
Man: I wanna see your tits.
Eliza: You want to see my tits?
Man: Yes, I just said that.
Eliza: Why did you just say that?
And so on.
I just have a fundamental problem with our gov't system. An elected official must vote along party lines, even if each and every one of his constituants wants said offical to vote a different way.
Otherwise, the Party Whip will come get you!
I don't know what to call what we have, but it certainly isn't democracy. Other than a referendum, I have aboslutely no say in the operation of my government, because my MP has an almost legal requirement to do what his party leader tells him to do. Other than, of course, a vote of concience, or a referendum.
As far as I'm concerned, the technology exists to make referendums an easy and standard part of the process of passing a bill.
Yup, you have to love our concept of 'social democracy;' get voted in on a specific platform, then do whatever your party head tells you, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE FUCKING VOTERS TELL YOU TO DO.
At least in America, you can BUY votes...
As far as I'm concerned, the '18' rule of thumb is more for parents than for the children; 'Have your children educated by the age of 18, because that's when they're thrown to the wolves.'
Of course; but when the employees get unreasonable, the employers get unreasonable. If your company suddenly starts blocking Hotmail, for example, go find the person who just HAD TO INSTALL the 'fun new screensaver!' a 'friend' sent them, and infected the network.
If your company suddenly cracks down on IMs, go find the person who has ICQ, and AOLIM, AND(!) MSIM all open and running, all day long. I've seen it, myself.
Nah. Creation during company time, on company equipment, means that you're creating for the company.
If nothing else, all this would do is make sure that 'work for hire' becomes standard in employment contracts, or simply remove IM, or Internet access in general, from everybody's desktop.
Ah, but with me, it's physical. A combination of gastro-esophagal reflux disorder and a touch of what I suspect is nervous nausea means I have real trouble being in crowds or unfamiliar places without wanting to hurl all over the place. Really sucks.
Went to see a doctor about it a few years ago; after not being able to explain to them why I was having problems drinking the radioactive chalk mix, and having them put me on Prepulsid, which was then yanked from the market for killing people, I haven't been back.:-)
The angels were the messengers of god, as well as his personal hit squad. The diciples were the students of Christ.
Big difference; Christ says 'turn the other cheek' and 'love thy neighbour.' God says 'Turn around' and 'his neighbours aren't going to like this.'
I've lived in Canada all me life, me bucko. I was referring more to the fact that Toronto is soooooo damn full of high-tech companies, big ones, like Nortel, that one one tanks, the market is crapflooded.
I've been to London, and a few other places in England, and I've been to a few large cities in the states, and I've been to Korea. Hell, the only reason I've never gone to Japan is that I'm agoraphobic. Can't stand crowds.
I've heard it's real bad in Toronto - hardcore C++, C kernel hacker class people that used to do coding and sysadmining now working in FutureShop, many from Nortel. Sad when resume "wrote Linux device driver, Masters degree" changes to "70 words per minute, good SATs"
Yes, it is. My sig has become a feature here on Slashdot; I've had it since, oh, September. I sometimes get a reply to a comment saying 'Geeze, SSM, still haven't found a job yet?'
We had a few pretty major places all fold in a very short period of time. Hell, travel down Matheson Street, between, oh, Mavis and Dixie, and you'll see Motorola, Microsoft, Oracle, and something or other else.
"These Micronians are completely ignorant of space-war tactics. Their population centers are far to close together to allow them to survive an orbital bombardment." Pretty much sums it up.:-)
Yup. It's just enough to get you in the groove, thinking 'Yeah, Giant Robots! I know where this is going. No problem.'
Then it says "Oh yeah?" and YOINK!
Alrighty, troll, I'll spell it out.
Calling the tools (DVD) evil, as opposed to the wielders (MPAA) is very much like calling the tools (Linux) evil, as opposed to the wielders (crackers and scriptkiddies.)
Yup. Recently, I got Star Trek: Bridge Commander. Wasn't very good at all. Nice graphics though.
Online, I heard some rumblings that Klingon Academy was better. But I'd avoided that, at the time, because of what Starfleet Academy did to my fragile psyche. So I hunted down a copy, and it was sweet! I couldn't stop playing it!
Went and looked up the review in my old stacks of PC Gamer, which I read before I 'got better,' and they gave it a 47, and the reasons they cited didn't apply to the game. Oops.
Ronnie Regan, like many 'non-major' radio personalities, would sit in a little booth, reading the wire report of the game-in-progress, and make up the bits to go along.
I.e. wire says 'Player bob at bat..strike...strike..ball...ball..strike out.' and he'd fill in the details of the gritty player stepping up to the plate, knocking the dirt out of his cleats, the sound of the crowd, the whiffffffSMACK! of the strike hitting the catcher's mitt, and so on.
Nice review; my box actually came in yesterday (actually, it came in on the 4th; fucking Canada Post never bothers to actually try to deliver packages,and often forgets to actually drop off the pickup slip) and the review will be a nice little primer for my wife, who's getting into Anime.
Too bad the reviewer seems to watche the dubs, though.
Yup, exactly.
Why, even on a P200, it's just not as fun to use the guided missile; you set up a lovely little course for it, so it flies all over the map, through a window, orbits the alien, then gives him a taste of what it's like to be anally probed; and ZOOM! it's over in a split second.

Licensing the engine costs money. Modding does not.
In other words, a completely innocent picture of a child enjoying a lollypop or licking an ice-cream cone is still legal.
POSIX threads. Say it with me: POSIX threads.
Out of curiosity, is this Apache vanilla, with no apache modules plugged in? If so, what's the point of comparing it to IIS?
I'd say that they're more aiming at other UNIX workstations; Sun boxes, mainly.
Jerry: Ok, let's meet Ellie-Mae! ... REDNECK ... TRANSFORM!
Audience: SLUT! SLUT! SLUT! SLUT!
Ellie-Mae: Oh, *beep* you, you buncha *beep*in' *beep* *beep* *beeeep*!
Daisy-Sue: You slut! You're trying to steal my man! WHITE TRASH
*half-naked transformation sequence involving ugly, fat white woman with missing teeth*
Daisy-Sue: Take this! YaaaaaaaaRGH!

I will say that Yoko Kanno kicks SO MUCH ASS it's amazing she has time to write music. She must have feet of steel.

No, Arcanum TRIED to be for people who liked isometric fallout like games. Arcanum failed miserably.

It might have been stable, but it also used timing loops. Bad move.
