My guess is that the reason they don't offer offline content is because it would be too easy to pirate-from/share-with friends and coworkers. Fair enough.
Me, either, especially the reference books. How many people read a spec cover-to-cover, like a story, anyway?
At least I'll have the books, should I wish to read them later, lend them to a friend or colleague, or sell them for cold, hard cash at half-price books.
It's funny how we rail against the loss of fair use when others do it, and rally behind the flag when one of our own steps into the ring...
Why can't you remotely log in? Why can't you click a sequence of coordinates on an imagemap on a web page? The images, and their reactions to being clicked, need not reflect their occult nature.
Giving someone the password would be akin to the Second Trial getting to the Grail in 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade', where they spell the name of God by jumping on stones; clicketh upon said obscureth spots, in this order, etc. Timed pauses between events should be easy to implement, like 'click here, count to three, then click there'.
Back in the early 80s, there wasn't much to code on at home for us old geeks. I had an Atari 400, and it was either cartridge BASIC, or FORTH. It was a godsend; primitives (atoms) were written in 6502, you could write your own words in assembler, you could build a foundation, and get as high-level as you wanted, all in one compact, concise, efficient language. God, I miss those days. Of course, I don't miss having to upgrade my 48K of memory to 64K, but it was still fun.
Slashdot isn't, per se; the absentee landlords just let the children play without adult supervision.
Pull up a list of Timothy's stories, and look at the number of stories which, obviously being trolls, garnered few comments. They're just trying to get eyeballs for their giant ads by pissing off (or pissing on) the few people who still read this site.
I telecommute, have a 5th grade son, wife works midnights, etc. I find that this can be a Better Way To Work(tm), but only if you're prepared. Wrap your mind around the problem, pick out every possible bad thing you can, then "just let go, Luke". Spend a couple of days just letting it slosh around, writing down those things that splash out. When you see a 24-hour window of opportunity on the horizon, get a good night's sleep beforehand, have a good breakfast, brew some coffee, and code like a mofo.
This really only works for me because I'm a nitpicky sumbitch when it comes to coding. If I get an hour or two into a project, and find that something would be better if I made a generic method, and used that, then I'll fork off a sub-project, and spend time on that. If I'm not prepared for a marathon coding session, I'll 'leave something hanging' at the end of a normal shift. This way, I can find my loose ends, and take care of them, in one swell foop.
So sorry...here's an extra word that may help those ACs who can't count parentheses:
If you sign up for a 'subscription', and there's not anough money in your paypal account when the 'subscription' renewal date arrives, they will automatically take it out of your bank account....they tell you this when you sign up for the 'subscription'
I don't want to "blame the victim", but if your money is not in the PayPal account, it can't be stolen.
Wrong. If you sign up for a 'subscription', and there's not anough money in your paypal account when the 'subscription' renewal date arrives, they will automatically take it out of your account, without asking. (My guess is, since they tell you this when you sign up for the 'subscription', that constitutes their 'asking'. Nevertheless, they can and will take money from your bank account/credit card if they so choose.)
I used my checking account to 'secure' my paypal account, and purposefully kept very little money in it, in order to avoid problems. When I used PayPal to subscribe to totalfark.com a few days ago, I was alarmed to see a notice at the bottom of the screen: "If you have insufficient funds in your paypal account, they will be automatically withdrawn from your checking account without notice". So much for keeping $20 bucks in there; it appears they can, even within their TOS, pull money from an account without your permission. This story was the last straw; I can't afford to have our family's account wiped out by these shitheels. Account closed!
Is it just me, or did no one read the fscking article? He doesn't want your lame-ass fashion advice. He already knows what he wants to wear, he's just trying to find a source for it.
IMHAUO, I think the submitter meant to write (my bold):
(yes, one of the authors of the BSD Design and Implementation book you have on your bookshelf if you know anything about operating systems)
It's this wonderful attitude that makes people love BSD/KDE/BK/etc. I suppose this means that those of us who don't have this book on our bookshelves don't know anything with operating systems, eh?
A press release today reveals that InnoDB is now fully integrated with the stock MySQL product...
Great...strap a rocket onto a roller skate. Call RealTV.
If you are foolish enough to use InnoDB, you better have good backups, cuz when (not if) it craps out, it's taking ALL your tables when it goes...any DB that will let one bad disk block trash the ENTIRE db, is not ready for business use.
that are terrified of losing their jobs when *their* managers figure out that a motivated high-schooler can do their jobs (better and faster), for less pay, etc, etc. who are slamming this guy's experience. Why don't you guys just eat right, get plenty of exercise, and take some Geritol? Pretty scary to think that someone who's 20 years old can work as well as someone with 20 years 'experience'. Although, you'll find that most of the old-timers who whine and bitch about kids' experience, don't have 20 years experience; they have 1 years experience, 20 years in a row...

for a failing service that attempts to reap profits from restrictive IP covenants. Nice try, O'Reilly.

"Fair Use" is the phrase that comes to mind.
