A lot of times, I just send a copy of the build failures to the person who broke the code. But the real problem is that, we use vss. With all the GUI tools, you'd think it'd be a no brainer to do a "project difference" before going to lunch, but 1 time out of 10, that step gets skipped.
But the best way is to just have a neutral machine that no one develops on. It's just for getting updates and doing test builds.
Aegis calls itself a project change supervisor. It's nice that there's a framework, especially for large projects. For small ones, throwing wads of paper or other methods of embarrasment works fine.
"We thought, 'How hard could it be to build an OS?' and scheduled 18 months to build NT. But we had forgotten about some of the important stuff--user mode, networking, and so on."
I'm guessing that they are talking about what is normally referred to as AA rechargable power cells that have a normal yield of 1.25v @ 65mAh. That'd be a great improvement over the current technology.
Oh, you mean Java by Sun Microsystems. We were shipping this nice house blend that makes our software smell nice. But if that's what you want, it'll take another 120 days to re-tool our equipment. Sorry about that.
Great. Preview didn't work correctly because I could see the source until it was submitted. Then you'd see the onclick="alert(this.hash);" that was removed.
One bug I submitted that has not been address is when clicking on an HREF with a hash, JavaScript doesn't have access to the value, like in this example (shown source intended):
Given the choice between 12 hours of play time on a screen that requires an external light source and 2 hours of play time on a screen that has an internal light source, I'd choose 12 hours.
The screen is highly reflective compaired to the original gameboy. Game Boy Color has a similar screen and play time, and it works on only two AAA! Both of them are big improvements. And you can always add an external light source to all of the models.
I think a better name for a micropayment would be "a tip." Or maybe a tip is a type of micropayment. I have a friend who provides small web utilities and rather than make people sign up for these them, he gives them away for free to see if people would use them. I'm sure people would understand instantly what tipping meant if he added it to his utilities, but the same people would probably stratch their head when presented a micropayment dialog.
But how much did Top Spin cost when it first became available, and how much did the price drop (or did it)?
Still, using your math, in order for Robocoaster to to have the same time to profit, the unit would have to cost something like $80,000 (right?). So, your point is well taken because even if the seat capacity was increased, it'd still have to have a ridiculously low price tag to be even remotely attractive.

Slashdot Mirror
OS X may have crashed once in three months, and I may have mistaken an OS crash for the browser going down.
Typical Windows user; can't tell the difference between an OS crash and his browser going down.
It works for Slashdot. Watch me get modded down!

I think that sums-up Microsoft perfectly.
Not only that, but it seems to have gotten worse now that Safari has been updated. Even more ironic.
I'm pretty sure it's a bug in Safari. Ironic.
Yeah, I was talking about the old Radio Shack force feed purple recharchable batteries. Those really were crap.
So, what would you say to someone who got a "Free Kevin" tatoo...besides, "What were you thinking!?"
...they could replace conventional batteries.

Right. Xerox, I get. Let's try the other two: I'm going to kleenex my nose then go hoover the rug. No, that doesn't work.
Great. Preview didn't work correctly because I could see the source until it was submitted. Then you'd see the onclick="alert(this.hash) ;" that was removed.
Anyway...
One bug I submitted that has not been address is when clicking on an HREF with a hash, JavaScript doesn't have access to the value, like in this example (shown source intended):
Example
Safari yields an alert that just contains a single "#" character. Other browsers will say "#hash" instead.
So does this work in reverse? Can I type of a walk I see some place and get an interesting algorithm?
I'd be curios to see what kind of algorithm I'd get by entering Funky Walker Dirty Talker's steps.
We know, we know.
I wouldn't put much stock into rulings made by the most overturned court in the United States.

This was so well done that I expect 14 more every year for 7 years.
Oh well.
...where nothing could possiblie go wrong. PossibLY go wrong... that's... the first thing thats ever gone wrong.

That's it. I'm building it.
Wow, not bad, for the day.
