Back in MY day, we didn't have numbers! We just used our fingers to indicate quantity, and if we needed more than ten, we invaded some lesser nation and took theirs!
Therefore, I can't even tell you how many miles we walked in the blazing sun, uphill, both ways!
It's a Gray Hat who likes to stand out/show off.
I'm not actually claiming to be a gray hat, mind you. It sort of started as a joke, and by the time I realised no one understood what I meant it was too late.

I learned how to use GIMP first. I was once with a bunch of friends trying to edit something. The computer we were using had Photoshop installed, so we opened it up. We all sat there and stared at it for a moment until I realised it was almost the same as GIMP. Ok, maybe not the same, but I was able to find the tools and filters we needed by thinking of where they were in GIMP. So now whenever I hear about how different the interfaces are, I chuckle quietly to myself.
Yeah, the toolbars are in floating windows. Drag them to the side of your screen and whaddaya know, it looks enough like Photoshop to get by. /end humble opinion
An investment firm is hiring mathematicians. After the first round of interviews, three hopeful recent graduates - a pure mathematician, an applied mathematician, and a graduate in mathematical finance - are asked what starting salary they are expecting.
The pure mathematician: "Would $30,000 be too much?"
The applied mathematician: "I think $60,000 would be OK."
The math finance person: "What about $300,000?"
The personnel officer is flabberghasted: "Do you know that we have a graduate in pure mathematics who is willing to do the same work for a tenth of what you are demanding!?"
"Well, I thought of $135,000 for me, $135,000 for you - and $30,000 for the pure mathematician who will do the work."
Problem with that is that our culture is gaining a sense of entitlement thanks to the "always connected" fad. How do you convince people that it's wrong to use tech in courtrooms when everything else is telling them that it's their God-given right to have 24-7 access to Twitter? I too believe in treating the disease before the symptoms, but this goes much deeper than - as one poster put it - jurors playing Angry Birds. People first need to realise that just because they can do something doesn't always mean they should, which may sound like common sense but seems to be lacking in the general population.
Wow, no kidding. Banshee is even smart enough to use the Canadian store for its plugin. Maybe Amazon shouldn't put "Only available to US Customers" in big letters on the top of the American page and instead redirect you to your own country's store?
I heard once that a house lined with aerogel could be heated with one candle. Very interesting stuff. Read the Wiki page on it, there's a list of applications including cleaning up spills, thickening agents, and trapping space dust from comets.
The bookmarks toolbar is still there, and any time there's anything that needs to be seen a "status bubble" appears on the bottom.
So yeah, you can use it again.
I was considering writing my own email client, just for kicks, and one thing I toyed with was removing the CC field. If the message has to go to multiple people, why not just put them all in the "To:" field? The only difference is that CCing is like saying "Oh, by the way, thought you might like to know I sent this out," but is that really worth it?
Not only that, but don't we owe China trillions of dollars? I'm not an economist, and I don't really want an answer to this right now, but if capitalism is so great and communism doesn't work, what in the heck happened here? Again, I'm not calling for a revolution and a Communist takeover of America, but apparently someone has royally screwed up.
This is why I choose not to vote. The problem with choosing the lesser of the two evils is that it implies that evil is acceptable. If X and Y are both pretty bad, then screw them both. Neither of them gets my support.
It doesn't seem like the definition of a scientific term is something that should be left to a democratic vote. Public opinion with regards to science is never a good thing to rely on (creation vs evolution, naturalistic healing, etc).
During an election, one politician is denoted the "President". The President is tasked with giving directions to the country, which Muraski testified mimics the organization of a gang.

It'd be nice for record stories[sic] to give away tons of 7" vinyl promos.
They'd be sued into oblivion if they tried. Can't have them promoting piracy and stealing money from the artists, now can we?
They've got 1000 people for a worldwide boycott. I agree, this protest will be like a dust mite crawling across Sony's monocle.

That's it, end of discussion. No more comments are needed.

Same principle applies here, I suppose.
We need at least another $4 million just to keep USASpending.gov operating this year.
$4mil to keep a website going for one year? Think if I called them up and offered to do it for 3 they'd take it?
Roswell isn't too far from the US-Mexico border.
Just sayin'.
Reminds me of C+/-

Perhaps people are not American enough to use Amazon? I'd be happy to give them my Canadian money for music if they would accept it.

If they tick off advertisers, then who are they going to sell your information to?

What point is there to hitting SourceForge?

They're all criminals anyway, now it's official.
