I hit this site about once a week. It kinda makes me laugh. The chances of you typing in an address and not knowing what you are going to find, and therefore being fooled by your typo are pretty slim. Are there that many examples of sites where your mistake isn't pretty obvious?
My intro class had us using CodeWarrior on the Macintosh. It was pretty messed up if you ask me. But later on when I was doing networking stuff and had to be on the Sparc machines, I was thankful that the intro people were not competing for the limited number of computers in our labs. You have to look at the goals of an intro class, and really learning on CodeWarrior didn't hurt me later on. All this talk of compilers is silly, intro classes are not doing hard core programming.
I can't complain about the size of my cube, 5x7, it isn't huge, but I have tons of desk space. The most important thing I've noticed is where your cube is in relation to the most traveled aisles. My aisle is pretty busy, so time staring at netscape is sometimes limited based on how busy I want to appear. But some people who have cubes out of the way get really used to people not bothering them. You can sneak up on them and really catch them slacking off, it is a fun thing to do when things get slow. But the biggest problem is the difference in tempurature from day to day and building to building. You can go from one building to the next and there is a 15 degree difference, and if you go to the lab, forget about it, you better have a sweater on.
I just purchased one of these tee-shirts in support of what I believe is the correct side of the argument. I know that I don't have the background to contribute to the DeCSS effort any other way. I'm not even that interested in the code (beyond the standard, how'd they do that). I am curious though, being a relative newbie, can I get an RPM of this whole DeCSS thing with my purchase.
There was a link to ihatewindows98.com from that linux sucks page. It strikes me as funny that they made the ihatewindows98.com page using Frontpage. They must not hate other microsoft products as much as the OS. Maybe they'll like one of the companies to come out of the split.
Until the makers of Office, namely Microsoft, decide to support any efforts to port their software to OS's other than Windows and the MacOS, it doesn't really mean anything for anyone except home users. I just don't see any big companies deciding to hack a MacOS X version of Office 2000 so that their developers who are on *nix workstations can use it. At the other end of the spectrum, we might see Office apps on our home linux boxes, but haven't we already found ways to live without Microsoft? This just doesn't seem like big news to me.
If you think that the rules are dumb, don't follow the rules. You are only competing for "credits", and so code this however you want, if you are so inclined. If you think that the idea is dumb because it is not in the true spirit of the haiku, I think that you are missing the point. This is kind of like playing with http://www.anagramfun.com , most of the words that it makes are meaningless, but sometimes you stumble across something really funny that you wouldn't have seen otherwise. Maybe a haiku will appear that does reference the seasons, and has a snappy final line, and it will be so poetic you would have never thought that it came from a simple rdf(?) file... maybe not.
Pinball is going strong in Ann Arbor, between the many Pinball Pete's and the little arcades near the computer labs on both central and north campus the one constant is that any South Park, Attack from Mars, or Medievil Madness table is always relatively crowded. I know that I pumped in a few thousand quarters during many a late study sessions.
I think you should only be allowed to keep a domain name for 2 day periods. Think how cool it would be if every 2 days, all of the sites that you frequent would have completely different content. It would make search engins valuable again.
