He didn't jump back because he was physically incapable of doing so. In Eve: Online, other ships can use ship modules on you that prevents you from leaving the area. It's called "tackling." The pilot in question, upon erroneously jumping into the system, was tackled by enemy forces before he could escape. Instead of eating the loss, he called up on his allies to jump in to attempt to destroy the ships that were tackling him. (A titan-class vessel is largely unable to destroy the much smaller Heavy Interdictor-class vessels that are capable of tackling it due to the ship's poor tracking and large guns, and requires help if it is tackled. A good analogy here is trying to kill a fly with a cannonball at 30 kilometers -- guns in Eve work similarly.)
When the pilot's allies arrived, the enemies called THEIR allies and joined the fight. With the amount of tackling ships on the field, neither party could easily escape, and things snowballed considerably. The enemy forces in this case had the upper hand of available pilots and were able to inflict heavy losses.
You are right, but I can clarify the matter. In Eve: Online, other ships (typically your enemies) can use a ship module on you that prevents you from leaving the area, making you vulnerable to weapons fire. It's called "tackling." Tackling a titan-class vessel in Eve is difficult, requiring a special class of ship and a special weapon, but possible if you are coordinated enough and have enough espionage available to determine where your enemies will be.
and I love it here. I have no problems finding jobs. Lately at work we've actually had a lot of problems locating qualified software developers. TFA does read quite a bit like a real-estate ad but there's some truth to it, at least in my sector.
This is completely contrary to my experience. Every time I've ever payed with a credit card, the person accepting my credit card has never looked at the back of my card. In fact, (and, yes, I just looked,) my credit card isn't even signed. Signatures are not a security measure -- they're a formality.
There's a light-hearted look at the issue here.
You're probably having trouble with addEventListener because IE doesn't support it. As always, there's a proprietary solution, but it doesn't support capturing/bubbling like the W3C solution does.
You can half-ass it in IE with the traditional model (element.onclick = function;), but, y'know, it's half-assed.
You're not kidding. I'm a student at University of Missouri: Rolla, and we're the test-bed for the new PeopleSoft grade databases. (We're the smallest school in the UM system, so we're guinea pigs regularly.) PeopleSoft's system is horrible! The UI is lousy, there's debug info still littered around the entire thing, and it's caused numerous headaches for a lot of people. Don't buy PeopleSoft stuff if you can help it.
I'd say the missing 10% counts for platforms which are neither Windows nor Linux. Platforms other than M$ and Linux do exist, and people do make money programming for them.:]
The makers of these bionic eyes will, in order to subsidize the cost, probably implement GPS tracking devices in these bionic eyes so they can offer exclusive advertising rights on your retina according to your location. This would be bad for driving.
I was refering to existing books when I was talking about books needing to be typed in, if books did ever become a dead medium. The 3rd world country thing was them having jobs typing the books in. (Grammar's bad, but I does not care.)

Did you see Serenity? I don't think a new Firefly series would be quite the same. (I'd still watch it, though.)

ICQ and AIM are effectively the same thing nowadays, y'know. Try sending an IM from your ICQ client to your AIM name, and vice versa.

Try http://www.kingdomofloathing.com/. An example of a game which is driven by a database.
This is the worst haiku ever.
You get a C+ for effort, though.

Yes. I use this, and it is a godsend. Algebraic entry for equations just sucks, really.
Our football team is still as shitty as ever. ;] (I'm a UMR student right now.)
This is still very, very true.
Got about 400 KB/s at the end from the BitTorrent link, off of a 10mbps line.

Yes, I am very cool, thanks for the compliment.
(Yes, this is my real name. It's quite cool that there's a language named after me.)

God damn, I could really use a Coca-Cola product right about now...

If it could read my handwriting, I'd be very impressed. Doctors have nothing on me.
