But in the case of "would have" / "would of", the two are homophonic in allegro speech, so it could fairly be described as an orthographic issue.
I think the "Would of" hearing comes from "would've" rather than "would have" since the hearing party would likely be unable to tell that the speaker was using a contraction.
Hmmm. Since my comment was modded flamebait (flaimbait for some of the/. audience) I must have missed the boat. Perhaps the contention is not so much that the fields of science I mentioned (and many that I did not) are no longer needed but it's the coders that exclude the others which makes the modern day version of the Mad Scientists Club entirely populated with their own kind.
Or maybe those with moderator points just don't like PERL....
I think everyone here can agree that the entire club would be open source coders today...
I can see it now: "Hey gang, let's write a PERL script to figure out what landed in the lake!"
So, the contention is that there is no longer any need for chemists or physicists or anything other than programmers in order to explore science? Either that or all open source code monkeys are also accomplished in the other fields.
Methinks you take the uberness of your geekiness too seriously.
Error in your logic: often you actually do need permission to legally record your cover version...
Not if you have no intention of selling the recording. The compulsory license is to cover royalties. If you an your buddies recorded the song just so you and your buddies could listen to it, there'd be no need for the license.
Really? How many people did you have to employ just to apply patches to the product? I've not heard of PeopleSoft or SAP having, despite their complexities, the level of brokenness we've discovered in Oracle Apps. The GUI is awful but the backend is worse.
Although I'm personally partial to Informix, the Oracle database is a good product and Oracle should have stuck to it's knitting and left application development to their business partners. They'd be more focused on the flagship product and not undermine the relationships they've already forged with developers. I know I'd feel pretty lousy about writing all my apps for Oracle only to have the mothership enter into direct competition with me.
I am sorry but I can send you hundreds of unsolicited mail to your mailbox via snailmail, what makes your inbox different?
Because with snailmail you (the spammer) pay for it and the receiver does not. I don't pay a monthly fee for my snailmail service. I do for my internet connection. Additionally, some people have to pay for connect time and other metered payment arrangements. In those cases the spam costs them in real dollars (not just time value - not that that is an illegitimate measure).
Perhaps not "most", but there's a reason a lot of movies have the girl being smitten by the bad boys. I'm around women much more than men and I can tell you that among the subset I'm most familiar with (not just my own family) this holds true. A lot of bad relationships start when a woman latches on to a rebel loser because she thinks she can 'change him.' Sheesh! Get a clue and find one that don't need changing!
These are not the rantings of a frustrated, unattached geek. I've been happily married to the same woman for, um, let's see..... well, a long time....
Well that should work out just fine since to avoid paying royalties someone who has the wherewithal to make this happen will be forced down the road of unethical AI which will immediately be patented so that the work they've already done will be more profitable to them.
So is there a way to horde(sp?) intellectual property?
I suppose you could hoard hordes of IP. However, patenting something you have no intention of implementing just so you can soak the guy who does want to implement it (and may already be working on it) might be called a way to 'whore' IP. Hmmmm. Maybe I should patent that!
You should have disagreed with the grandparent then. The parent was responding to the idea that not being able to sync in Linux meant he would have to dual boot in order to load new programs that he'd written on the Linux box. That can be accomplished with a file copy.
And now those involved in medical missions to third world countries are finding it more difficult to refrigerate medicines - especially bad since DDT can't be used to eliminate the insect carriers of diseases like river blindness.
In the meantime, cows all over the planet are depleting the ozone layer with unregulated flatulance.....
Now let's see if it works for me.......you're blunder is already considered insightful...
Doh! I played the pedant just last week with the you're/your switch. I throw myself on the mercy of the viscous wits (well, half so) and advice you to heed my advise not to let you're fingers fly at my expense until your satisfied that yore rage is spent...
I'm surprised we don't see this more often from software providers...
We already do see this more often from software providers. How many packages are there that are ONLY for Win platforms (even discounting the ones from Microsoft) from the onset?
I was thinking the same thing. I pictured a motorist in the ditch trussed up in a cocoon of cables after trying to correct a fishtail on ice or something.
One I'm particularly fond of is looking for the postage paid return envelopes, stuffing the rest of your junk mail into those and sending them back. You may want to remove labels that identify you first (or not).
If everybody did that it would probably only result in the end of postage paid return envelopes and not junk mail.

High water intake is yet another silly health fad, like megadosing vitamins. Your body knows what you need. Drink water when thirsty....
Dehydration can occur precisely because the person didn't feel thirsty and followed advice like yours.

How do they know the universe is 14.7 billion years old?
Simple. They cut it in half and count the rings....

No, I DON NOT use the same light bulb.
Perhaps you meant DON KNOTTS, who sometimes plays a dim bulb....
And just to make sure it's on-topic, he's wearing his space suit.

My aural sense has never been assailed with such hyperbole!
The whole thing might have been hyperbole, but the part you quoted (and presumably the source of your auditory jangling) was alliteration.
Hmmm. Some of those who responded certainly go a long way toward explaining some of the moderation that gets done around here.....
Now let's see if it works for me.... ...you're blunder is already considered insightful...

I mis-read the summary, please be gentle.
Are you kidding? With the crack-head moderators you're blunder is already considered insightful and your mea culpa has them rolling in the aisles.....

Red ink with sea food?!?!? Philistine!!!
Now, if only champagne came in the right colors (the archival quality stuff that is).

This won't be implemented in Italian cars.....
