I don't know if that is part of the sig, but it's "intents and purposes" not "intensive purposes". Unless you really mean it is only dead when used IN AN INTENSIVE SENTENCE!!!
Bakkster, you just don't get it, do you? Risk of persecution is not the same as risk of death by airplane crash for a non-believer. You are claiming that there is a reward after death; when nobody can check if there really is. If religion had that type of true risk, you wouldn't be saying all the crap you spew to get people to join up... you give them a free pass to eternal greatness as long as they live their life according to your standards, right? This entire off-topic thread is a feeble attempt at you to push your religion and give it some credibility; but we see through it.
I agree that we can't fold to every whim of the police and let them abuse our rights, but...
A lady saw a guy breaking in a door and called the cops; the guy owned the house, so he had a right to do so. But a reasonable person would also understand that if you just broke into your house, there is a chance a neighbor called the cops. That happened and all he had to do was show his ID so the cop could verify it was his house. When he didn't do that, the cop had a duty to all land owners to detain him until he could verify who owned the house.
Should he have been arrested? Maybe. Surely if he never showed ID; how else can they verify the info? Even if he did, he probably took an hour of the officer's time. Do you know who pays those bills? We all do. Screw this one guy for wasting the time of everyone (now even the president) on a situation that should have been easily resolved if he wasn't acting like a horse's ass.
I think most users of IE6 are for corporations, due to some retarded inability to write code that works in any other major browser. And since all these asshats won't get their shit together in unison, you will not see a dramatic drop off for IE6. It will simply decline as the corps finally update their builds.
Exactly.... I want my child to see as much of the world as possible. Look at the starving kids in Africa, look how stupid that guy looks when yelling profanities (and watch how I better handle the situation), look at the "gross" and "objectionable". And read every damn book that has ever been banned.
The only way to raise a properly educated, informed, and morally "good" kid is to introduce them to the horrors of the world and let them decide what actions and materials are best for their life. If they have never seen the bad, they cannot appreciate the good.
Nope, OSI defines open source software as software that:
Did you mean Open Systems Interconnection? Or International Organization for Standardization? Nope, you meant the Open Source Initiative? Surely they don't have an agenda!
Your arrogance is misplaced. I have coded entire apps to meet the needs of our IT department... I have had to learn SQL in more depth than I ever wanted because our line-of-biz app has the shittiest reporting features in the world; during this time I realized that programmers don't even make good DBAs.
While I might agree that there are more clueless windoze admins than clueless programmers per capita, there are many sys admins that know their stuff (which includes a decent understanding of all aspects of IT from MIS stuff to network to code to hardware).
Seriously... right now there are 5 comments above 1 and they are all bashing sysadmins in some way. I know you developers (oh sorry "software engineers") think you run the IT world, but you could give a little love to the guys who figure out all the work arounds to your shitty programming; to the guys that have to deal with giving you admin privileges just to see you make a standard build into something nearly unsupportable (and possibly running all kinds of rouge server stuff; to the guys that have to deal with all the problems you missed and let fly out into the field; and finally a thanks to us simply because we keep the internet connection up and running so you can bash us here on/. /rant
A lot of the people I know that "work from home" are the people that travel at least 26 weeks out of the year. They work from home because it makes no sense to have an empty office sitting there for them.
But this article sucks balls. The website linked to has like 30 members each with about 2 posts (but its the next big thing right... so we have to be on top of it). Lame.
So by your thinking, it's "tough tits" for the cable company if I steal cable from my neighbor? If I find a way to hack cellular communication and use it for free calling? If I hack into a company that uses wifi?

Oh, so you have to be registered huh? Well according to the always-correct wikipedia, engineering is "the discipline, art and profession of acquiring and applying technical, scientific and mathematical knowledge to design and implement materials, structures, machines, devices, systems, and processes that safely realize a desired objective or inventions."
If you take requirements from users, manager and process owners, create a system that satifies the requirements and produces the desired output, then you are an Engineer. Not you, you're an idiot (and all the other... but I'm a real engineer!), but the plural form of you.
Cats on the other hand, just like attention. When training them, you just can NOT punish bad behavior unless it is a serious transgression (knocking over the tv, smothering the baby, etc).
You are obviously just not kicking them hard enough. Giv'em an extra little umph next time and see if the decide the baby's pacifier is a cat toy again!
2.) Crusaders trying to bend the process to whatever their particular ideology is.
What other type of person is there? Can anyone review this and submit a decision without taking one's ideology into account? What would be the purpose of a review if you don't want someone to judge that application? But I agree that for this amount of money a paid staff to review the apps seems prudent.
When you are travelling in a foreign city, it is real nice to know you are 30m from your turn. Even if I am really 60m, I bet I can figure it out since mine gives me the street name anyways. Really you are blowing this out of proportion.
Nietzsche stated that religion allows the lowest of beings to survive, and now science is allowing those who by nature were not supposed to reproduce, do so. Idiocracy is coming faster than you realize!!
I really don't understand why this hasn't caught on more. Electric vehicles only reduce dependence on oil, they do nothing for the environment as we simply replace the refining of oil to gas, with the refining of some other fuel and then burn it (coal to electric). In fact, let me go look up that post I wrote a long time ago, brb... ... GOT IT!
Also, what about developing a module to do something cool in a framework like Drupal or Joomla? It can be craptastic at first, but if it does what you want you are well on your way. Just clean it up a bit, make sure it conforms to their coding standards (get used to that), and submit it. Then you might be able to pull other developers in to work on *your* project, and you can learn by what they improve.

If that sentence doesn't end with "from orbit" and have "nuke it" in there somewhere it just isn't true!

(I was the performance test engineer for Vista update services during the initial release of Vista)
I can't believe you admit that your position had to do with the performance of Vista, anywhere, much less on /.!!!!!!!

In my case, if I need 2000 calories a day, I could easily put some weight eating less than that. The human body is smart enough to keep its reserves.
Riddle me this... Why does it keep a reserve if you can never eat little enough to force your body to use said reserve?

What in a poll... on /.? Every application (and probably two or three times) will be decided by what option has Cowboy Neal associated with it!!!
they may have biases
Yeah, because there is never any biased decisions made by government agencies!!
LOL... Sounds like you know quite a few people like that. What's that they say about the company you keep?
