One difference between SQL and a conventional procedural programming language is that for SQL there's a bigger gap between what the code says and what the code does
Or more importantly SQL is not a procedural programming language at all. Please don't try to compare the two together at all, it just leads to misconceptions about what SQL is and how it works.
I can't count the number of times that it wasn't until I woke up that I realized sleeping with the girl I thought was hot at the bar wasn't quite as hot as I originally thought.
On the Xbox, we saw a group of rehashes from existing Dreamcast games, most notably the first appearance of Project Gotham Racing, which was almost identical to the DC's Metropolis Street Racer.

One thing that seems clear is that the Xbox launch had more originality than the Xbox 360. You've got the first titles in several now major franchises, namely PGR and Halo. There was also a wealth of unique titles at the Xbox launch
I think the most insightful, or at least amusing, thing I've read about this case lately was found at the bottom of the forbes article:
Indeed, SCO says the company's biggest investor, BayStar Capital, has been pushing SCO to drop its Unix business altogether and simply become a litigation machine, bringing intellectual property-related lawsuits. But SCO insists it remains committed to selling Unix software--when it's not busy fighting people in court.
Because that only works well for non-carbonated beverages.
In college my friends and I tried making a drink maker similar to the that, but the pressure build up from the carbonation would leak out all of the pop. And we didn't really want to spend the money on fancy pumps that could handle the pressure.
Now that you say it, I can agree with the various Driver Id's from all over the place. When I was younger in school almost every one was "from" Colorado because at the time Colorado's driver's licenses had regular lamenation on them, no special seals, so they were very easy to forge;)
But I was still pissed that my passport wasn't considered good enough....
Hate to break it to you, but the US isn't the only country that has idiot bouncers who won't let you in with out their countries form of ID.
A bunch of friends and I went to Canada and were refused entry into a few bars because we didn't have Canadian Drivers licenses. I did have a passport and they still refused me. Worse thing about it is we were in our mid to late twenties, and well over their drinking age.
Actually, Slshdot did have the Punch the Monkey ads over a year ago or so (It's been a long time).
But I never really cared, and still don't, because like you said most adds are good here, plus it's just one mouse wheel scroll to not see them. (Although I probably would sign up for a subscription site, just because I like Slashdot and have no problem giving them some of my money for their services).
Not complain if I want to work from 10:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. (as long as it doesn't affect my customers)
Doesn't try to tell me how to do my job, particularily if they have little/no experiance in the language/system I'm working on
Will believe me when I say something will take X hours.
Doesn't second guess my decisions, particularily if I've been working with them for a while and have shown good judgement
Doesn't mind the fact that I like to listen to music when I code (and yes I use head phones so as not to distract others)
Let's me get my job done, and doesn't expect me to do a bunch of paperwork that I don't understand. I don't ask them, or (insert lackey), to do my coding. Don't expect me to fill out your upper level papers.
Fortunatly where I work, my boss pretty much does all of those things.
I don't know Japanese but according to the gamespot article on the history of video games, Atari in Japanese, in reference to the game Go, has an equivalent meaning to the word check, in chess.
I've also seen this reference to the origins of Atari's name in other places also. So when Bushnell started Atari, it probably what he meant.
McWhortle Enterprises has had to stop accepting investors for Stage 1 of its Pre-IPO investment after the program was over-subscribed by nearly 200%. Because of the enormous demand, we will, for a very limited time, accept new investors into this program.
Darn it, I was all ready to sign up, but I guess the rest of the slashdot community got to it before me.
But, if you're downloading from another 56k dialup user, he can only upload at 36k, while you can download at ~52k, leaving about 16k of your bandwidth available.
Instead you download from 2 dialup users, and can use your total 52k.
As you scale up higher bandwidths, the increase can be more dramatic because it's harder to find upload capacities equal to your download capacity.
Of course this is with the understanding that your bandwidth at the time is being dedicated to downloading the 1 file.
Because you took the time to figure out what you did, I guess I should answer.
I went back through my old labs (yeah I'm a dork, I keep everything)
the reason it would have been so long was :
1) we were using the Motorolla 64HC11 and it only had 2 8-bit accumulators, and 2 16-bit index registers, and a stack pointer, and the prof didn't want us storing any of the counters, or addresses in memory using a store command.
2)We had to read an unknown number of elements, until we came to an FF, then reverse those (that wasn't a problem though)
3) Plus we weren't actually using the assembler yet, every thing was either an opcode or a hex number (address/offset/whatever else) and the way we were writing it was an 8-bit hex number per line (to then be placed directly into memory).
So yeah, It probably wouldn't have been a total of 100 lines of actual assembly (probably not even 100 of just opcodes and values) but it would have been a lot longer than the 12 (sorry not 11) 8-bit hex solution I came up with using a stack. Plus remember this was my second week of ever looking at low level coding using opcodes and hex, so it wasn't all that familiar at the time.
Not sure about the rest of America, but I live in the Detroit area and probably the biggest reason we are so hung up on our cars, is because that's the way the metro area has been designed for the last hundred years.
Mass transit near Detroit doesn't make much sense, because instead of trying to cram the most people in the smallest amount of area, we're spread out over a very large area of land.
Granted alot of this is because of the auto industry, but the idea of mass transit is just foreign to us. Granted we do have some Taxis, busses, and a very limited monorail system in Downtown (which almost no one uses). It's a pain to use any of them. You have to go way out of your way, and it takes alot more time to call a Taxi to pick you up (good luck finding one in the street), or go to a bus stop (not many of those at all anyways) or you can just drive from your house to where you need to get.
Plus, because our main source of income is the automobile industry, we're more supportive of everyone having an individual car, because that means our family members are gainfully employed and is good for our economy.
The hundred lines, wasn't in C it was in assembly. (what you have is pretty much the logic he gave us)
The c code wasn't hard to understand, just a pain to implement.
and as far as not knowing what a stack was, this assignment was like second week or so, and so far we had only been working on register manipulation, and basic op codes, I think it was the next week or so that we started to cover stacks.

"Have you ever seen a Tauren stalk a python? 'Course you haven't! That's because Taurens are so adept at blending in with their surroundings."
And we ALL know who came out tops after that one.
I do, but I don't think you do.
None of the current hardware makers made it out. Only new console makers that came into the market after the crash did well.
So if history repeats itself, how does that help Nintendo?
If history repeats itself, then it's more likly that the Phantom will come out on top rather than the Revolution
any version of GTA part of the intial batch of games available for at the launch of a console.
And for that matter, most consoles do not have any break-out games as release.
Those tend to take at least 6 months to a year to start showing up.
All he needs to do is repent prior to meeting God, and all of his sins will be forgiven.....
I can't count the number of times that it wasn't until I woke up that I realized sleeping with the girl I thought was hot at the bar wasn't quite as hot as I originally thought.
This is just more proof that I should pick the Hot dumb Cheerleader type for a wife. Honestly, it is for the kid's benefit.

Make up your mind please.

So you are telling me that you prefer:
.pl file into their favorite html editor
<poorly written perl snippet>
Over this?
<php snippet>
No,
But I do prefer
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $var = "Hello World!";
print<<EOT
<html>
<body>
$var
</body>
</html>
EOT
Ask your html designers to try importing the
looks just fine in VI, don't know what you're complaining about.
And with syntax highlighting just write your own definition in vim, combining the default perl def, and html def it's not too hard.
Now that you say it, I can agree with the various Driver Id's from all over the place. When I was younger in school almost every one was "from" Colorado because at the time Colorado's driver's licenses had regular lamenation on them, no special seals, so they were very easy to forge ;)

You should probably see a shrink about that. Something from your childhood, maybe?
and "punch the monkey" type bullshit ads
Actually, Slshdot did have the Punch the Monkey ads over a year ago or so (It's been a long time).
But I never really cared, and still don't, because like you said most adds are good here, plus it's just one mouse wheel scroll to not see them.

I think you just found the first good use for an internet equipped appliance. (or at least in the eyes of hollywood)
Fortunatly where I work, my boss pretty much does all of those things.

In all likely hood the 15,000 weren't from slashdot.
We probably sent the 7,000 opinions..
So no jokes in chapters on regular expressions, please.
Come on that's the best part of the Camel. I was just going over that section earlier today, and I love the little engine that could.
I think I've read Larry's version more times to myself than I read the original to my little sister.
plus it's something distinctive to help me remember.
Pre-IPO Investment Oversubscribed!
