To me, WI is West Indies, DE is the two letter country code of Deutchland (Germany), NE is North East (which ironically is central to the USA), DC is Direct Current and TX is a term generally used to denote transmission in two-way communication. - Anti-flame disclaimer: I didn't intend for all those to be from the USA , they just happened to be the first few I thought of.
That's OK, you can't be expected to keep that kind of thing straight. I mean, it's not like anyone outside the British Isles cares about the difference between GB, UK, and England, so fair's fair.
congratulations! you've made the world's most boring game!
Doesn't seem any more boring than those real-time simulate-flying-a-747 games. My father in law used to play those. "Don't touch the computer", he'd say, "it's on autopilot, I'm coming in to Intercontinental in an hour".
The only time I've run into these being used is as a second layer after they send a hashed URL to my email address, so the attacker would have to have known which email account on which server I was using, then discovered the password to my mail account or set up a MITM attack on my mail server, before they even got to the secret question part.
The only reason why I take my own car in for repairs is because it is under warranty. Me, personally, I don't know much about cars, but cars are nothing like computers.
I can't work on a computer without cutting my fingers on SOMETHING. I'm convinced computers require occasional blood sacrifice.
That's why I am EXTREMELY reluctant to work on a car. I don't want to find out if cars demand blood sacrifice or not.
I know it's trendy to take useful, standard user interface elements and turn them into some horrid experimental new monstrosity (see also, Windows Vista and menu bars), but don't you bloody dare pull a Microsoft on us.
Yes, sticking a cheap hard drive on a shelf is just as archival as sticking a tape on a shelf, and the cost of the drive and the tape cartridge seem to have become pretty comparable.
Sticking a drive on a shelf in a hot swap carrier used to be considered a moderately "high end" solution for archiving. It's now close to the low end... because of the economy of scale of the disk business. There's no such economy of scale for tapes, so... sayonara, DLT, see ya later, Ultrium...:(
It's ZuneLink for geeks. Your eyes meet over a darkened server room, you whip out your iPhone, she pulls out her G1, you whisper seductively "http://192.168.0.1/somewhere_in_time.mp3"...
And suddenly you hear "Never gonna give you up!" You totally rickrolled her!
I was going to say... if your memcpy is failing because you did not know how big the destination was, how does explicitly specifying the wrong size *twice* fix the problem?

Who said that MMOs require hot bars?
Because salad bars are wimpy?

Bitch and moan at Apple if you want, but it is Sun who signed an agreement with Apple promising not to release a OS X version of Java from Sun.
What was the point of this, anyway?
He did that too, but not when he was having dinner. :)

Why is it when a Democrat does something wrong the subject is immediately shifted to the prior administration? I simply don't get this.
That would be Fox News' fault:
If only they could develop artificial common sense.

All of that pales into insignificance when you're driving around LA.
Doesn't everything?
Go outside, have a fag, calm down, it'll be OK.
You're right, that's crazy talk. I don't know what I was thinking.
I see what you did there!
So what the frack are they complaining about?
Totally suss you there, frood.
Without someone looking up the word, how are they supposed to know what that obscure reference to the word means?
It's not an "obscure reference", it's a totally common and current usage that anyone of normal intelligence could glark from context.
It's SO common that there's Cockney rhyming slang for "twig": "earwig".
Draggable tabs.
Grab your tab, drag it to the correct window, or into a new window.
Now your tabs are as easy to organize as your windows.
And they still work as tabs.
(of course now Apple is preparing to fuck up Safari tabs by cramming them into the title bar, see what happens when you have a Googler on the board?)
If the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" crowd had their way we would all be using carrier pigeons..

Twig?
Cutting-edge word definition? This one goes back to the 1700s!
How is this kind of broad but superficial database supposed to make a difference?
Sounds like he'd get along well with Ken "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home." Olsen.
