Do you suppose the traffic report is prerecorded too? Cause if it is they need to get those traffic guys to do the weather cause they are spot on at predicting crashes so weather should be no prob.
According to the lexis website [http://web.lexis.com/xchange/ccsubs/cc_prods.asp] searches are free and docs are $9 per. Maybe your lawyer friend meant that he himself charges his clients $500 per search.
If you want "hard" science fiction get yourself a subscription to Analog magazine. The stories they publish and generaly true science fiction. They are mostly short stories but they do serial novels. Hominids was serialized in Analog.
It seems like the forum community over there is made up entirely of trolls. And I thought slashdotters flew off the handle a little too easily. These guys make slahdotters seem like mr rogers.
I agree, when I was in high school way back in '93 we were taught structured programming using QB and then we moved on to Pascal. It's definately in the way you're taught which is why I would think pascal is the better choice for teaching as it really requires you to structure your programs properly.
I graduated in '93 but at least we had IBM PS2's networked in some funky way that i still don't understand. I believe we started with QBASIC and then moved to pascal. I have to say I really liked pascal despite it's utter uselessness.
I beleive I heard this in an anthropolgy class in college a few years back. A quick google search turns up this very basic summary of the theory and attributes it to a Dr. Solomon Katz. I'll leave it up to you to pursue further research. Please refer to the url below.
Like I said in an earlier post, it looks to me like the discovery of beer could have been a prime factor in teh switch from Hunting/gathering to agriculture. I know the thought of getting my hands on an alcoholic beverage would be enough to convince me to stop throwing sticks at animals and start puttin seeds in the ground.
So what's the correct address to report bugs to Microsoft? As you can see from this thread of posts several slashdotters are in the dark about this. http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=63519&c id=5909258 Please enlighten us.
Was Lik Sang the only supplier of X-Box mod chips that worked? Or does Microsoft now have to go and hunt down a dozen other distributors one at a time?
Their other articles in this series also refer to people getting ripped off on uBid. Here is an excerpt from "Auction scam hits plasma TV buyers" at http://www.msnbc.com/news/773280.asp?0cb=-51911095 7
A collection of Web auction scam artists are ripping off plasma TV buyers, stealing thousands of dollars per victim, MSNBC.com has learned. The scam works thanks to a bit of wire transfer chicanery. Victims agree to make payment with Western Union, but are instructed to follow procedures that supposedly make the funds untouchable until the TV is delivered -- the instructions, of course, are a sham. According the one auction fraud expert, thousands of eBay and uBid users may have already fallen for it.
Apparently in Maryland ignorance of the law is an excuse. I beleive that's how Linda Tripp avoided prosecution for violating the states two party recording law. But it is still a lame excuse anyway.
What does a programming course have to do with moving into a junior network admin role?
Very little. But ask most any programmer if they think they could do network administration and they'll most likely tell you that it's a piece of cake. I run into this attitude in a lot of programmers, usually right before I have to bail them out of some bizzare problem that they are experiencing on their test LAN that they haphazardly created without asking for a net tech's advice of help.

Your sysadmin sounds incompetent based on what you've said in your post. Perhaps this hacker did you all a favor by making this abundantly clear.

You don't think it's a reasonable request to see what terms they are asking you to agree too?
eh..eh?
I'm not sure that's conformist behavior. I think the word you're looking for is obsequious. But it doesn't matter, we still get the point.

I always heard that humans moved to agriculture because of beer. That seems like a pretty good reason to start growing crops to me.

You can still get burned by fake escrow sites.
Read this article on msnbc.
Fake escrow sites lure auction users.
That's a slick device the only things it needs is Ogg support and for my tastes WiFi. Who wants to run cat 5 to their stereo?

This isn't even about anonymous email. It's about anonymous surfing. If you're going to start ranting at least get the topic right.

I'm sorry, but I believe you are mistaken. The Cambridge Dictionary [cambridge.org] has no listing for toleranse.
Damn, that's funny. I wonder if that mensa card that he carries around is actually his.
