The phrase you want to use is "raises the question," not "begs the question." The latter refers very specifically to circular reasoning, which isn't what you meant to describe.
"Begs the question" now pretty clearly means "Begs for the question", in addition to it's original meaning.
Meanwhile, a huge number of people get a quality-of-life boost from the extra daylight in the evening, which makes it more pleasant to walk home from work, to run late-afternoon errands, or just to enjoy some time outdoors on nice spring and autumn days. And high school students everywhere are waiting for the bus when it's still pitch black.
Twist the knob and the volume is adjusted: perfect. It appears that can do more, but if you're really just using it for volume, any decent PC speakers come with a mechanical volume control.
the program that is using it will continue to see the deleted version of the file, and new programs will see the new version. That's kinda like Oracle's locking scheme, but the other way around. A connection with uncommitted transactions will see the changes it made, while the other connections will see the data as it was before the changes were made. It's much more friendly than SQL Server, which just blocks everything else until the transaction is committed or rolled back (unless you use NoLock, which is slightly dangerous).
I hear SQL Server 2005 has a new option to work the Oracle way, but I've never tried it.
Yes, when your error rates go up, it starts to make sense to put lower-level checks in again.
I seem to recall that WiFi drops around 30% of its packets, so it has its own acknowledgement and retry system that will be running underneath, and invisible to, IP. However, I took networking two years ago and I'm a programmer not a network admin, so don't depend on that being right.
What we need is a sensible GUI-delivery protocol, not filling HTML full of crap. HTML was pretty much just appropriate for Lynx. Mosaic would have been better off with PostScript.
I'm pretty sure that wasn't a typo. The Internet itself is unreliable, and that's good because the overhead to make it reliable is excessive as long as it works a large majority of the time.
If I have a critical application, and I knew that the design of the Internet would guarantee my packets would go successfully from a router in New York to a router in California and back, I would still put in an acknowledgement system at a higher level to make sure everything was getting from *my computer* to the one on the other end. That makes the lower-level acknowledgement packets superfluous.
Since reliable communication is a common requirement, we have TCP. A reliable equivalent to UDP would be nice, though; I suspect it would see a lot of use for web services.
Given that my local Toys'R'Us says they are getting 60 Wiis in on April 1, I find this very believable. I suspect my local Toy'R'Us is also getting 60 units on April 1, just like the got 60 units on March 4 when I bought mine. It's just time for the next shipment. They seem to like Sundays.
It was kinda cool leaving Toys'R'Us a few minutes after ten with my new Wii (arrived two minutes before they opened, waited outside the door for a minute or two, and went right in), and driving past the Best Buy in the same plaza, where there were half a dozen people waiting outside the door in sleeping bags for them to open at eleven. I didn't ask, but I have a suspicion they were there for Wiis.
All my record IDs are now strings that encode when the record was created, on which compurter and with whose account. Have you considered putting those into separate fields?
I saw Strapping Young Lad last summer at either OzzFest or Gigantour (I forget), and I noticed that all the lead singers there were incredibly buff, except for that guy. I suppose he was more strapping when he was younger, though...
When I'm really upset, I like to blast Nevermore in my car and sing along. I always feel much better at my destination, even accounting for the sore throat and ears.
That's heavy metal, not Heavy Metal. Anything with the gain turned way up where palm-muted guitars carry the rhythm as much as the drums, not specifically Iron Maiden, Diamond Head, etc.
It's like classical music, which includes Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, and Classical, which only includes Mozart of that list.
So you don't actually have to do anything you might call creative along the way, then? Well, there are degrees of creative. I'm not going to completely stop trying stuff out, but I keep it down to just a couple of things in any given program, document the hell out of those, and pay attention to whether it worked out well, or I just forced it to work in spite of itself.
I do more purely creative programming for schoolwork. I graduate after three more classes, and we'll see if I have to pay attention to not going overboard with experimentation at work after that.
It might have been bloated, boring and uncreative but it was also blindingly obvious what it did, how it did it and that it did it right. I'm sure it exists in some industries (it probably also tends to be Ada code), but I have never seen code like that.
Normally, with code that bloated, it's blindingly obvious that the programmer was cutting and pasting and tinkering until it mostly worked, and probably never did really understand it. Furthermore, it's *not* obvious what it is doing, and I really only come to understand it as I clean it up, shrinking it (nothing off the wall, just eliminating redundancies) and fixing several bugs along the way.
Because most people don't have the high-def screens to take advantage of Blu-Ray anyways. But when they do get them, they'll already have a BluRay player. Those people won't be looking at HD-DVD.
True. But at least you'll get laid Pick your positions right, and that can be a damn fine exercise program. I'd stay away from adding extra weights, though; you might have to explain your motivations and risk losing your workout field.
RBOCs are still out there; there just hurting for business. But many of these companies will guarantee that none of their records will go to the government (and in my area, TDS Metrocom is advertising this). RBOC stands for "Regional Bell Operating Company", i.e., "Baby Bell". The term is rapidly becoming obsolete, as I think the only ones left are AT&T (the SBC parts, not the LD AT&T parts), Verizon, Qwest, and maybe U.S. West and/or BellSouth.
You mean CLEC, "Competitive Local Exchange Carrier".
This ignores the fact that a first year teach is generally 22-23 years old and right out of school. And completely qualified. Looking back, do you really think your older teachers were better than your younger teachers? Especially in secondary education, the younger teachers can relate better to their students.
Personally, I think the system should be set up to encourage people to teach around ten years straight out of school and then do something else. Start the salaries high, give absolutely *no* seniority raises (cost of living only), and then give them tuition reimbursement for further schooling to do something else starting about eight years in.
Managing to tack a port of VB6 on top of a port of.NET would be interesting indeed.
For an encore performance, we could implement Delphi on top of Java/SWT.
Well, yes, doing it that way would be kinda silly. The point is the summary claimed "Visual Basic on GNU/Linux", and that's not really true. Visual Basic evolved from the original MS Basic for the Altair. VB.Net is just a.Net syntax that kinda looks like BASIC and has a couple of logic quirks added to make porting VB code easier.

Papa Johns actually limits you to five toppings per pizza, even when you're paying for them.

Do you have a problem with workers doing that?
Yes. When companies do it it's called a trust, and illegal.
Always torpedo mixed metaphors, no matter how well they sing.

I brought in the lyrics to "Suite Sister Mary".
Is that the song with the "My faith is growing, growing tight against the seam." line?
like Exodus
Um, no. I might go along with Overkill, and probably with Megadeth, but I heard the first Exodus song I ever liked last year.

They were a lot of fun.

Pets? WTF?
I suspect that one's mostly for kids. My nine-year-old loves it.
