didn't "Experiencing A Significant Gravitas Shortfall" make a cameo in Windward? it came to watch the light show if I remember correctly.

i thought they went to the airsphere to visit the renegade blimp that hosted the meeting between the Chel and the supposed enemies of the culture - to receive, and train with, the wormhole displacer tech.
if you're going to read banks, read them from the start there's definitely an arc throughout the series, loose as it is. i still can't make up my mind which one is my favorite - they're all great in different ways.
well, if your theory was consistent with known physical theories (modulo GUT), then couldn't you confidently say that modern physics predicts the existence of fairies.
so, either: 1) fairies exists 2) physics is fundamentally wrong
so, if the code still contains the BSD license (as it must by the terms of the license), and since the BSD license preceeds the GPL license, surely it superceeds it - thereby nullifying the 'must share' clause of the GPL ?
don't buy HP devices. their driver support on both windows and mac is horrendous. not only do they install tons of unnecessary stuff, their drivers often circumvent the OS-provided APIs for performing common functions (again, windows and mac, both) thus breaking functionality in many apps that use those APIs, and since they do all this backdoor hacking, their drivers are invariably broken by OS upgrades, and they use this as a way to force you to buy a new device in conjunction with your OS upgrade. Lexmark isn't much better. The only printer's i've known to have decent drivers and driver servicing are the higher-end epson & canon models.
obesity isn't simply caused by fat that you eat. it's caused by the storage of that fat, which is triggered by elevated insulin levels, for example in reponse to eating carbohydrates (starch, sugar). the stoarge of that fat makes you hungry quicker, and eat more.
you can eat burgers all day long, as long as you remove the bun and the lettuce first (ok, maybe not big macs - real meat)
the mars bar, on the other hand, will kill you: with all that sugar (fructose!), the fat gets instantly stored, you get no nutritional energy and after the short, addictive sugar high you feel hungry again - time for another? how about washing it down with a high-fructose soda?
who gets to say whether or not a web site is parked or not?
besides, there's nothing that says you have to have an http server running at the address pointed to by your domain. hell, you don't even have to have a DNS zone...
VSS was used internally at microsoft by some groups for a while, but it's been replaced by their version of Perforce, which is in turn slowly being replaced by microsoft's own TFS which scales quite well to large projects/teams. check out dogfood stats here
sounds like you're still young. take the extra 46% and put as much of it as you can towards your retirement. After you're 60 you can code Perl until you, well, until you die... (or it kills you)
start TaskMgr.exe, go to the processes tab, View->Select Columns: "I/O Reads", "I/O Writes". Sort by Process Name, wait a while, see which processes are still reading/writing. Kill them.
no, all Grouper p2p traffic is encrypted. we do not have the ability to view files that you have shared privately on the Grouper network, only the members of your groups can do that. of course, everyone can see videos that you have shared publicly on the grouper web site...
Err, my original statement was in the present tense...
My argument still stands: in our market economy IP helps support innovation. Certainly innovation progressed (albeit slowly) in the past, in different economomic environments where IP would not have been relevant or applicable. But IP grew out of the industrial revolution and is an integral part of it and thus our recent success as a species.
however, without IP protection there's really no point in innovating since it's easier & cheaper to knock off somone else's idea. and hence it would be very difficult for startups like TiVo to get funding for research and development if that work is less likely to pay off even if it succeeds. If you can't find invention, then it doesn't happen...

whichever it is, it's pretty profound.
I'm running Server 2008 x64 on my desktop. I'm developing against IIS7, but I won't be writing PHP in the near (or far) future tyvm.
hey, last century just called - it wants its quips back...
does the FSF have a license to use the 'Tetris' trademark?
anyone else find it that this coincides with castro's stepping down?

There isn't one built into IIS 6.0, but then again mod_rewrite isn't built into Apache, either.
There are plenty of 3rd party add-ins available (for example, I've had great success with http://www.isapirewrite.com/). IIS 7.0 has rewrite built in.

didn't sony already jump on the bandwagon by buying Grouper? sure, two heads are better than one, but this seems a little strange...

you can't, obviously. but you can kill almost everything else: http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/2005/07/running-w indows-with-no-services.html

The Comscore numbers are incorrect. Those guys get their statistics by scraping them from the bottom of their crack pipes.
