i don't have a personal phone, or didn't - until my company provided a cell for work/personal use since they couldn't get in touch with me when things were screwing up.
everyone in our office is armed with a phone, a few company, some personal.
i can't see being in any IT dept without the possibility of constant and immediate communication between its members...
i've been afraid of and skeptical of all this before, but it's not just a particular company's idea - it's a paradigm in the way software will be developed in the future, and by "future" i don't mean 100 years, i mean the next few.
C is not dead, it only takes on new life as other, more suited tools (rooted in c!) move in and fill in the pieces.
nice idea. but it's one that worries me, as well. the average quality of the many many vb apps out there is not very good - if the same sort of thing were to happen with a KDE based VB-like language, what would happen to the overall quality of KDE?
i think VB instills bad habits and presumptions in newbie programmers....
"if someone doesn't get down here and buy a car from me in the next hour, i'll CLUB A BABY SEAL!...that's right - you heard me, i'm gonna club this baby seal cuz i'm craaaaaazzzzy ernie....."
this is bs. the long held tale of the "pusher" is a myth, or at least in all but the most extraordinary circumstances.
dealers don't make themselves known to everyone in the world as "drug dealers", due to the illegality and stigma pushed by folks like you. it's a discreet business.
markets for drugs such as meth are created by users turning nonusing friends onto it, not by dealers giving out free samples to hook new people.
tobacco companies are addressing a stated need (desire?) by the public for their product, only they receive the blessing of the goverment along with it. and as soon as we're told that nicotine delivery devices such as cigarettes are illegal, your friendly neighborhood smoke dealer will be peddling on your street.
drug dealers are providing a service: they sell drugs to those who want to buy them. they make the processes involved in manufacturing, transporting and distributing the drugs transparent to their clients.
there are bad dealers and good dealers. good dealers are customer service oriented - they know that they are providing a service, and go an extra mile to ensure quality and fairness to the customer. the customer can always find a new dealer.

oh come on, can anyone else back this up?
i really want to believe its true
mozilla is not netscape. don't worry about that.
fire up your fav editor, and write a web spider to suck all of googles archives out.

mod parent up, it deserves to be seen...
something within driving distance from west virginia....i'll be there!

taken out of context. policing userbase on technical/security issues, not content issues...
...or just get a job as a developer and have the company pay for it, or they'll already have it - most likely.
thank god cfmx runs under linux (gentoo isn't "supported", but it sure as hell works). my job would be bad bad bad if it didn't...
we're moving everything from IIS/SQL server to apache/something else currently. this includes production cfmx servers.
flash mx for linux would be nice, native studio mx would be wonderful
you know, you're supposed to outfit those AMD processors with fans, heatsinks, and some of that thermal paste....

You can use Apache on GPL systems, just don't link to any gpl libaries
and that, my friend, makes apache a whole lot less useful...
shouldn't phone numbers be considered no different than domain names? we buy and sell those every day....

same goes for alcohol.
yes, corrected....
how are drug dealers committing fraud?
