is there like a virtual virginia tech somewhere in second life? anyone opened fire on it yet? boy, that'd really get the crybabies going, wouldn't it? are guns even allowed in second life? maybe someone could just go on a big virtual VT raping spree, whee!
why does pidgin 2.0 (i'm still calling it gaim, pidgin sounds retarded) seem to have less features and display options than gaim 1.5? also, is MSN fixed?
the person being "raped" could have walked off and gone to the bathroom or (god forbid) outside into the real world briefly. they might not even be present while this was occurring. there is no mental trauma here, just idiocy.
soon we'll have all kinds of false "rape" accusations in SL, right? just like in the real world....seriously, people are just getting waaay too sensitive to interact with anyone else, lest they be offended or "traumatized" online, or offline.
someone else here said it, but it's worth repeating: what a bunch of pussies.
I'm not sure what country you are in, but it certainly must NOT be the US, as willful copyright violation here IS a criminal act that can be punishable with jail time (and fines).
because we all know, american companies never order their employees to break the law to save a buck...
very recently, i decided it was time to reinstall windows xp on my work issued laptop. normally, users would return the laptop to IT to have this done, but since i work in IT (not as an admin) and we have small department with lots of users to take care of, i do those things myself. i extracted the product key from the existing installation and did the whole song and dance. when it came tine to activate my new installation, the key (supposedly legit) was first rejected by the internet system, and then after a while on the phone with microsoft, rejected by the activation support people. apparently, the person who installed windows on my computer initially used an illegal key, which is strange becuase we have a volume license for XP. maybe we hit our limit and he just used whatever he could find.
in the end, realizing that i wasn't tied to windows, i dumped it and installed ubuntu linux. things are just find with my laptop now.
moral of this story? in the end, i called and told MS that my work issued copy of windows was not legal, or "genuine", or whatever. one of your users could end up doing the same with their pirated copy of office one day, call in for support, or somehow rat you out without even realizing it. i seriously doubt you've been told to tell all the users not to tell anyone that they are using pirated copies of office, and one of those users is likely to inadvertently give away the secret. the more users, the better the chance of that.
maybe the boss should know that fact, and maybe you should point him or her to some of the horror stories told by other companies and organizations who have been caught using large numbers of illegal copies of various software packages. it's just not worth it.
if they still won't listen, install their software, polish up your resume, and start looking for another job as suggested by others in this thread. you'll likely need it soon.
if you'd browse with Newest Comments First, it wouldn't be buried under the futile religious flamewar that's rumored to exist below these comments, not that i've ever seen it. the one in question was actually on the top of the pile.
if by "dissenting view" you mean "asinine right-wing claptrap", then you're right. it's not like there's some rule on the internet that every opinion must be given equal time.
if it's 'moon-bats' you're looking for, maybe freerepublic would be more your speed...
well, recreational drug users aren't subject to anywhere near the level of government harassment in the netherlands as here in the US, so that's one point. when i visited last year, i found the air of openness quite refreshing.
i installed ubuntu last night on my laptop. i'm pretty impressed. tho it was a hassle getting direct rendering going, i can let that go since it's an ATI card, and a laptop. nonetheless, it works. it automatically downloads the divx codec; on windows i had to go out and find the installer and run it. my movies play, no problem. it doesn't look half bad either, tho i think i'd prefrer the xfce desktop to the gnome one.
it also didn't use the pretty graphical installer, once again - probably due to the age of my laptop. the curses based one worked just fine.
about Dennis Kucinich, but he's right on a *lot* of things, he's got great big balls of solid brass, and a hotter wife than most of you misfits could ever dream of.
not that he'll win, but really, would you rather have hillary?
actually, no. sql injection is easy to work around in PHP, it's just that a lot of (inexperienced) programmers fail to do so. anyhow, placeholders are done on the database side and is supported even by the most common database used with PHP, MySQL.
really, fuck china. who cares what their new internet plan is? what, a better way to make sure no one in your country learns what a bunch of government fucktards are controlling your lives? what a bunch of slimy freaks. they *really* torture their people, not the pansy torture we do here in the US.

some of these are crazy...but i still think that space helmeted cuddly things are just irresistible as mascots.
and is mozilla really that bad?
pfft, and you people claim pudge never posted anything relevant...
that US managers with any decency just throw away every resume with an indian-sounding name on it.

so, ruby handholds people who are to dumb to secure PHP properly and write readable code?
france can't even control the muslim extremists in their own country, what makes you think they can solve darfur?
* defending islam
* terrorist dot net email
* claims that muslim states welcome jews (?!?!)
sure says a lot about you, now doesn't it?
and you might want to think about your usage of the verb 'think' as a noun...
