Me: *digging in fridge looking for a midnight snack* MS Clippy: Uh oh! It looks like you're about to go off your diet again! Would you like help with that?
I would recomment a 3 year stint in embedded for app programmers. You'll be shocked how sloppy you are, and, more importantly, how needlessly sloppy. Many techniques can be incorporated without slowing down the freewheeling development much at all.
Wouldn't this be a bit easy to hack? Just blast a diabetes patient with radio waves, instant insulin overdose, nobody will know what happened. Perfect murder.
Mod this guy up. I was thinking the same thing when I first read this.
Back when he was in office, I asked my mother what she thought of Bush. She replied that if she knew the things he did, she probably couldn't sleep at night. That gave me a new appreciation of the man.
Have YOU tried Dia? It has great features, but doesn't feel very polished as a program. When in Linux and don't have only minimal needs, I'll use Dia or LibO Draw. (I actually prefer Draw in that instance - even if it can't natively do UML.)
KE5VEU checking in. Here in the States, giving up the Hams isn't an easy thing to do. When another Katrina/Ike/YourNameHere strikes, who still owns the air? We do. Phone lines are dead. Power is out. Who's still on? We are.
DeMint's received contributions from ATT: $37,500. Total Funding Received: $6.33M As far as Candidates receiving funds from Computer and Internet Industries: DeMint ranks #35. Telecom Services & Equipment: #20. Both of those rankings are WELL below several names of Democrats. If DeMint's in anybody's back pocket it's Old People. Retirement. Insurance. Real Estate. Securities and Investment.
Quoted: "In theory, many Democrats favor Net neutrality. President Obama recently reiterated through a spokesman that he remains "committed" to the idea, as have some Democratic committee chairmen.
But theory doesn't always mesh with political practice. More than 70 House Democrats sent a letter to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski instructing him to abandon his Net neutrality plans. A majority of Congress now opposes Genachowski's proposals. "
He was on the team that worked on Doom. And all the other id games. There's also Mike Abrash. That dude's a frickin' genius. But, back to Carmack, if game engine designers ever appointed a patron saint, it would be him. Works on space projects now. Very cool.
Since facts are in short order, let's consider some speculations. The US of A may or may not have started a war for oil. (I'm actually pro-George W, but let's play the devil's advocate). The next World War will likely be about natural resources. (Tell me with a straight face it won't be.) Those of us in industrialized countries (like the US) consume A LOT of resources. India and China are getting into the game, and hey, that's cool. They all deserve a piece of the pie. The problem is that pie is getting smaller. The US is behind in a lot of things. Internet being one of them. If energy runs scarce, there will be a panic. Allow me to applaud Mr. Gates and say "Hell yeah. We got the money. Let's get ahead of the game."

Because nothing is more threatening to a walled garden.

Why, Internet? Why?

Somebody mod that guy up.
It just made me poor.

You, sir, should read this.

Seriously, Jobs. Xerox. Freaking. Xerox.
Yeah, about $1000.
Guys, remember the Internet Explorer anti-trust controversy?
*long awkward pause*
They. Are. Not. Going. To.
And even if they did, so what? Seriously, this is frickin' Slashdot. All of you either build your own machines or own Macs.

This smells suspiciously like flame-bait. And if you look carefully, you'll see an army of trolls off in the horizon.

I'm sorry, what were we talking about again?
Who.
Are.
These.

Not sure how these guys pulled it off (probably got permission before Vivendi ate Sierra), but they've been doing Sierra remakes for a long time.
We have the technology.
and get cozy with my childhood favorite "How the Grinch Stole Gas Clouds, Star Systems, and Oh Zark, We're Next."
I don't know if I could go AFK that long.
