Thank you. Matrix Reloaded was perhaps the worst movie I've seen in years.....At times i felt like I was back in my Philosophy class, with all the meaningless drivel they kept spouting out.
If they wanted to make a action/kung-fu flick then they should have gotten actors that are actually convincing at it. I've seen orange belts with better skills.

This type of smart-ass remark is EXACTLY why I still read slashdot after all these years.
I never use my moderation points, I wish I could have saved them to use now. Somebody else Moderate this up, this guy is an obvious troll.
Quoted from his user Info:
Hi, my name is Waldo Jaquith, and when I grow up, I'd like to be a ninja. Not just any ninja, mind you, but a gay ninja. "Waldo Jaquith, The World's First Gay Ninja." Has a nice ring to it, don't you think? Also, I hate children. If I am ever elected for public office, I will enact legislation prohibiting procreation, because God told me to do so. God also told me to take all existing children, and lock them in dog cages until they reach eighteen years of age. And what God says, I do! Would you like a jar of urine?
Need he say more. God I hope he isn't running for office.
I suspect that soon, good search engines will just be a (hopefully) inexpensive pay site, where you pay $30 a year and can use that search engine.
But can you imagine all the bad possiblities if they were able to actually tie all your searches together and see WHAT YOU searched for? Sure they can do it by i.p. or cookie, but an actual account, probably verified by credit card?
On the otherhand, a search engine is a basic need to use the internet. And I'd be quite surprised if some of them didn't start heading this way, REALLY CHEAP though. Incidently I don't know exactly when google.com became my ONLY search engine, replacing altavista.com, but it happened. Probably because of the excellent results (not perfect though) and the light interface.
On another note, I get the BEST referrals from google.com to my site. I get the MOST referrals from msn.com to my site. I say BEST from google.com, because the people that find my site through them, most likely want to see my site, and end up staying. MSN's referrals are usually pretty broad topics.
Didn't they say near the end of the show that they haven't found any evidence of any neanderthal genes in modern humans? "Not one" I believe they said. That just might make it tough to prove through "solid scientific research". But best of luck.:)

3 : something that resembles a biological parasite in dependence on something else for existence or support without making a useful or adequate return

It wouldn't be a parasite if i helps the host out. Since it would be making an "adequate return"
So what would it be called in that case. (Biology was a long time ago, and I don't remember.)
In addition, the company started Celera Genomics, an affiliate that is using the sequencer machines in an all-out effort to be the first to decipher the entire human genetic code and claim property rights to it.
What does having property rights to the entire human genetic code give them? While it may be a magnificent accomplishment, shouldn't something like that be publicly-owned?
It looks like the comments are dynamic. Coming out of a database, perchance? If you do a view source, you can see that either its dynamic, or written by a very, very anal person.
At least thats what i see, but i use MS products, so I must not know what I'm talking about.:)
...and make sure the key to decrypt them isn't on the same server as they are stored on. (At the very least) Best if machine the decryption key is on is not even connected to the internet, at least not directly.
Sounds pretty obvious, but many a programmer goes half-way for security, and leaves something simple out/does something dumb, that leaves a hole.
Of course, as an application developer who must write things that run under IIS4, I find it a terrible environment. That's strange, i find it a very easy environment to develop quickly for. An ASP/COM/IIS environment works fine for me. Could you explain what is so terrible about it?
I recently wrote a cgi application , and had it up and running in a secure environment under Apache within hours. It took me several days to get it to work correctly under IIS,
AAAh maybe that's your problem. I haven't had to use CGI in years, why not write it as an ASP application? Maybe i'm overlooking something, that required it to be cgi, vs. (ASP, PHP, servlet, etc...) I thought it was a known fact that iis was never too good at cgi, I don't think they ever touted it as such either. CBW.
Personally, i've developed in perl & cgi (3 years), java servlets (not much) and have now been developing in ASP/IIS for a few years. I've found ASP/IIS to be the easiest, quickest, and quite powerful. But maybe thats just me.
I'd take a French car over American junk any day. Heck, the only country in the world still building cars with solid axles is... USA! That stuff dates from the horse and cart!
Actually I'd like to see you take your ifs-crap vehicle where i take my solid-axle jeep.
Use the right technology for the job, and solid-axles work in some places, heavy workloads, rock-crawling, etc...
Note to flamers: Iran has one of the best human rights records in the Middle East, and is one of the most democratic countries in the area. Don't believe what you see on CNN. Note that women can vote in Iran (evil) and men can't vote in Saudi Arabia (our ally).)

The harm is I won't be able to get my yacht and private island. (except for the native island girls)

>I remember the first browser I ran (remember when there were dozens to choose from?)
A quick check at: Tucows shows that their are still "dozens" of browsers to choose from. At least on my OS, you are running windows aren't you?

I just thought that funny, considering the subject.
The problem with the Marathon 2 engine is that is was over 1 year old by the time the new game came out.

This quote is sort of interesting:

You must be a coder. :)

You put phone.callZorn.desk, phone.callZone.home
(OO syntax?)
Shouldn't it be desk.callZorn.phone, home.callZorn.phone?
From specificDevice.who.whatTypeOfDevice
IE: specificHost.Domain.TLD
Just to nitpick.

I have to agree, came quite close to messing myself, that was so damn funny. Thanks (I must have missed it getting posted before.)

Well if you think you can come up with better questions; then perhaps we could get Mr. Hawking to do a /. interview?
I would definitely enjoy reading that.
Silly student, wait until you wake up in the real world and need to pay bills.

I always get a good laugh out of your posts...and sometimes they have good points. (More laughs than points though.)

Maybe you should try reading the book instead of presuming that, "If the movie sucks, the book must suck too."
Just so you know, the movie doesn't follow the book, and I agree the movie sucked hard. However the book was awesome.

I'm gonna have to 2nd this.
Willow rocks!
