how exactly would you make 65,000 pieces of paper disappear without anyone noticing?
In San Francisco's local election a couple years ago, thousands of ballots washed up on shore after the election. The San Francisco election coordinator said some ballot boxes had fallen into the San Francisco Bay after poll workers took the boxes down to the bay to WASH THEM. I don't know how those ballot boxes got so dirty and why the poll workers would choose to wash them in the dirty bay.
Sorry; that's "developing without Unit Testing feels like being beaten with a bat, with a sack tied around your head..."
ok, that makes MUCH more sense! I had to read the last paragraph of your orignal post about 4 times to figure out what you meant. My conclusion was that you meant "without" or that you meant Unit Testing using "traditional C++" was painful.:)
I wonder if/when Wikipieda will implement a moderation/meta-moderation system, maybe something like Slashdot's? I don't think Wikipedia contributors should be banned, not even anonymous users from "trollful" IP addresses. Anonymous public speech is important for public discourse. However, maybe a moderation system could help slow the trolls.
Unlike EverCrack, we don't get as wrapped up in the game as we used to (esp. my wife). I miss my lil' necro, but I don't miss EQ, or being so involved in a game as I was back then. We play WoW in moderation (unlike EQ:),
Why are you guys are less addicted to WoW than EQ? Is there something unique to EQ that made it more addictive? Or have you guys just moved on from RPG addiction? just curious.
Good point about Opera on Symbian. Maybe Microsoft does not want the Opera browser as much as they do not want it on Symbian phones? Microsoft has already used this strategy for VirtualPC for the Mac.
Larry Wall copied Perl from existing languages like awk, sed, and sh. Apache copied (literally) the NCSA web server. Sure, these projects did not copy commercial, closed-source software, but that does not make Perl and Apache paragons of innovation.

How can someone report on a revolutionary FACE transplant and not feature before and after photos? We are all dying (no pun intended) to see the "hybrid" face.
If I remember well my economics classes, public ownership can be a working solution if it's hard to exclude someone from benefiting from the given service - wireless access seems to be such a service.
Excluding non-subscribers from a wireless network is only difficult if you don't use some sort of access control.
So what you're saying is that evolution isn't a satisfactory explanation because there isn't enough proof to make you believe it, but that a creator (be it god or whatever) with absolutely no proof of existence whatsoever is fine in your view? Can you rationalize this one?
Until evolutionists can cite a primary source like the ID researchers and The Bible, then ID has a lot more rationality behind it.
Can ID and Evolution coexist? Would an ID supporter believe that an Intelligant Design created the Universe, but then the Universe started evolving as it ran its own course (ala deism)??
As an ex-CS college professor, let me suggest that it would be better to spend that $100 on the developing world on more teachers, education for teachers, roof for schools, etc.
Those things are important, but an internet-enabled laptop will allow kids (and adults) to access online teachers, references, and markets. Look at the huge boon mobile phones have had in developing countries. Farmers can call around to get market prices and sell their goods to higher bidders, instead of just taking whatever meager price is offered locally.

It's only the Yahoo Music Unlimited music jukebox that has the DRM restriction.
Irony = only the Yahoo "Music Unlimited" has the DRM restriction!
I would think an unrated song should have an implicit 3 star rating: it's not known to be good or bad, but it will still be played.

Dave Winer is appropriately named
Is Dave's last name pronounced "Whiner" or "Weiner"? Either one works for me.
Also, if you are looking to find gamers interested in these types of "indie RPGs", check out Clinton R. Nixon's FindPlay.

Why doesn't AOL pay someone to fix Firefox?
yes, but Linux's fonts look like crap (even in space).

I hate to break this to you pal, but even though there are free dial-up services, the government doesn't provide free telephone lines to people.
Then why does the Gub'mint add all those Universal Access taxes to my phone bill?
Though, since GC is not guaranteed, finalize() is not guaranteed to be called either (like a C++ destructor is).

What exactly is a "primary source"?
primary source: an original fundamental and authoritative document pertaining to an event or subject of inquiry; a firsthand or eyewitness account of an event
As a matter of fact - what exactly is the point of public education again?
To subdue the Proletariat masses?
