I wrote 20% of heaps of games. An early one was a text-mode based game on the Atari 800 with remapped character graphics, collision detection, etc... then I started playing a great new ground-breaking game and forgot all about it...

Then again, you need to understand Holyspiritish before you can write the translator.
With extra time on your hands, and about three years of experience jammed into two (if you worked stupidly long hours trying to keep your company alive), you probably have a lot of knowledge in your head.
I sometimes give non-gratis tech help to people I meet who are trying to get started on the web, or in computers, or starting an e-business. I get a warm fuzzy feeling, and still get to do the stuff I enjoy.
We could represent our method of writing software by walking just like Microsoft would, but more jerkily and occasionally falling over.
Alternatively, we can march in two different directions, to simulate KDE and GNOME. Then the walkers in each direction can break into two directions, one for Free Software, and one for Open Source. Eventually, we will all be outside the city, separated, unable to hear each other, and blaming Microsoft for the situation:)
I think it was an ACM talk where he said that when he got married, and he had to declare his profession, he was not allowed to write Computer Scientist because they didn't exist. So he put down Physicist.
Weingarden was right when he saw the pioneering of computer science in him. Rock on!
All of a sudden, a whisper travels ever so lightly on the breeze. You listen closely, and you hear the sounds of US legislation being debated.
This shit's funny. A gun from a GI Hoe got confiscated at an airport. Congressmen are lobbying to wear vigilante cyber-berets. I LIKE the pace aussie rights are being suppressed compared to yours, my American friends. It's the difference between getting your arse caught in the bath plughole, and the way a crab gets sucked into a hole in a trans-continental undersea pipeline.
If so, slashdotters should apply for the patent. It's not either (export rights)/or (IP rights). They _will_ lose the ability to export crops to Europe if their crops are contaminated, unless the EU changes it's policy. Also, they should get an undertaking from certain biotech companies to avoid situations like this.
Gopher should come to the rescue. I vaguely remember a place called The Seventeenth Floor, that had an automatically updating weekly list of the biggest perverts based on KB downloaded.
Don't you xtians go to school? One gram of Jesus converted to energy could boil an olympic pool dry. More than once. If the whole lot upped and converted to energy at the same time, there sure as hell would be no fucking easter.
I don't know if it is the same in the States, but in Australia, the credit card companies are NOT screwed by credit card fraud, the vendor is. It's part of the merchant agreement with the credit card company.
If I get buy a whole lot of computer stuff off a merchant with fraudulent card details, he wears the cost. (This appears in the newspapers from time to time)
At the time that you are coding, every assumption is going through your head. This is time to write it down, either on paper, in a document, or in comments in the code. The mental state you are in when designing test conditions cannot come close to the state of mind you are in when coding (if you are concentrating:) . You are mentally closer to a problem when you are coding than when you are designing, and you can take the shortcomings of the platform you are working on and pair it with the shortcomings of the design.
Any consideration you have during the writing of a single line of code is gold. And like a great dream, if you don't get it down when you think it, you will lose it in a day or two.
I excitedly read your piece, and then found you left out the single critical word that would have completed it. Is this genetically the equivalent of producing an ugly toad instead of a thing of beauty?
I bet it's not in print anymore, but: "Mutant 59: The Plastic Eater" was the best book I've read about a plastic eating virus/bacteria. It was written in the seventies, I think, and was meant to be didactic.

Didn't realise this would be as contentious as vi vs. emacs.
Damn straight, bro! Not like head.
Already been done, but I didn't join because they passed on all the legal liabilities that a company would otherwise incur...

Everyone in slashdot drops his name, but you, sir, have quoted from his books.
Therefore, you have the largest hoodaddy in the thread.

Can HP's lawyers sue HP for bringing them into disrepute?
I suppose they could if they weren't lawyers. As lawyers, not matter what is said about them, it improves people's opinion of them.
P.S. Joking. Some of my best friends are lawyers.

It's bad enough having someone read your emails. Now someone's going to be able to turn down your air conditioning, and burn your toast. No Thanks!
Of course they do. BSA stands for B***Shit Artists

True to form, when the WWF (Wrestling) had to change their name to WWE, their first fight series was called, "Get the F out!"
Gotta luv their marketing hubris.
If Jesus went critical, WWJD could mean Where Would Jesus Detonate.

You would probably get a guy who looks more like an Afghan or an Iraqi. There's a fucking funny coincidence.

My 2 cents.

Can we replace the Developers title caption with:
