Actually, if it allows someone other than a licensee of the work in question to download the material, then it is illegal. You're probably one of those warezer's who would run an ftp with a blanket log-on notice saying that if they're law-enforcement or an unathorized user of the ftp that you can't be held responsible, and really think that you wouldn't get eaten alive in court because of your little message aren't you?
You don't really understand the law at all do you? It IS NOT legal to download music to sample it once and then delete it. The only exception to this is if the copyright holder allows you to do so (and this is not typically done through downloading the song to your HDD, but rather through low-bitrate streaming.
Also, do you not understand that these subpoenas are not going after people downloading the music, but rather those that are serving it...
And since when are you allowed to share music that you own online? Last time I checked, you're not.
Please, stop spouting false information and do a little research before you post next time. A wise man once said that it's better to keep your mouth shut and let others think you a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
12 months ago? I think not. I did a science project on that subject in jr. high... Made a battery in a clay pot with grape juice and copper. I got the idea from researchers discovery of the same kind of thing in Egypt... That was like 10 years ago man, get with the times.
What you're missing though is that the author of Matthew was writing the book for the Jews. It was written in traditional Jewish fashion, which means starting out with genealogy.
If you'll notice, the genealogy in Matthew 1 is divided into 3 'sections'. Each section has the same number of 'begats' in it, because that is how traditional Jewish literature went. The genealogy is not literal, its not EXACTLY the line from David to Christ, but that wasn't the point. The entire point of putting it in the book was to prove to the unbelieving Jews that Jesus fulfilled the prophesies about the Christ, the major one was that he was born of the line of David.
Any other alleged contradictions you would like to bring to light?
SQL much? That statement would throw an error in any SQL runtime.... Where's the reference to the Employee table? And why include a table name in From when its not being used?

That sounds a little funky to me... If someone is a well known industry expert, would they really need the phrase "well-known industry expert" before their name?
(I first saw it in Scheme, the most beautiful programming language I've ever programmed in, if not the most practical.)
Uhm.. Maybe you should be the one reading the post more carefully. According to my understanding of the English language, the parent was saying that Scheme is the most beautiful, and probably the most practical language he's ever seen.
$112 per DVD?!?!? are you smoking crack? $3/gb (over the 5gb limit) is not $112... I'm betting you're counting the cost of the service with that as well, but you're still way off. Plus, you could download a heck of a lot more than 1 DVD a month and it would still cost way less than $112.
If you ask about "before the big bang" you have to define "before" because time as we know it doesn't exist except after the big bang.
So the big bang created time as well? Geez.. Sounds like I'm worshipping the wrong God. Give me a break. How can you really believe that? Something out of nothing without any outside force acting upon it? You seem pretty knowledgeable about physics, so how does that not bother you? The fact that this universe shows evidence of design (not to mention life itself) makes believing that the universe came from nothing and that we all evolved from a single-celled micro-organism harder to believe than just accepting that there is a God and He created the universe by His design.
Chaos doesn't bring order, it never has and it never will. An explosion in a lumber yard won't build a house, no matter how many times you try.
How about the fact that the big bang theory violates both the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics? If there was a big bang, what was before that? How does that that fit in with the law of conservation of matter & energy? Or the fact that the 2nd law of thermodynamics states that order either stays the same or decreases... Never increases. So did entropy just step aside so the universe could create itself out of an explosion?
Why do people speak of theories as if they are a proven fact?
This radiation is the remnant of the Big Bang, the explosion which forged the universe in trillion-degree temperatures.
Mr. Gondek sounds awful sure of himself when asserting that the universe was absolutely created by a big explosion. (The stupidest idea evolutionary theory has come up with to date... Must be why its the most believable.) Might I remind you that what you speak of is known as the Big Bang Theory. Not even close to a fact. Nor will it ever be.
But HR doesn't usually set the technical requirements for a job posting, so the hiring manager who put 2 years of.NET experience in the description knew what they were doing.
Have you even bothered to give it a try? There are some things you can do easy as cake in.NET that most would be hard pressed to come up with an easy workable solution on other platforms..NET isn't right for everyone, but in my experience it definitely has its uses (especially for web based development) and knocking it in such a general fashion is rather offensive.
Beta my friend.. Beta. The framework was in public beta for over a year before it was actually released. (And believe it or not, Beta2 was a rather workable solution, I tested it from the day it came out until RC1 was released and never did find a significant bug.) Anyways, just to answer your question, alot of employers are looking for people who have watched the platform mature (or rather, go through puberty) in beta stages.
I'm assuming you're replying while knowing MS's vision and goals as a company? Chances are, when Gates & Co. started out, I'm sure they never imagined being the monolith they have become of late. I'd care to wager that Gates would consider his company to be a success considering how they started. Sure, there are many individual failures that can be attributed to MS (MS Bob anyone?) but you just can't argue with their market share. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an MS fanboy, nor do I agree with hardly any of their tactics. But I do use their software daily by choice because it gets the job done. Not necessarily for every application mind you, (which explains the 2 FreeBSD boxes sitting next to me) but there are things that MS software does very well, and you can't argue with that.
As far as my tunnel vision, if the company I start turns me into a millionaire, even if the product isn't everything I dreamed it to be, I would consider myself to be mildly successful, how about yourself?

All you have done by posting this utter crap is convince me even further that you have no clue what you're talking about.

Doesn't mean it was illegal to use it that way!

No, I'm not trolling. I'm stating what I believe.
