I haven't noticed this since the end of the 2.x days. 3.5 has been open for a week on this box. Between flamewars and dumping a bunch of multi-megabyte pics into other fora, it's sitting at 120MB of RAM. This one actually gives memory back when it's finished.
I'm glad you guys gave gotten over the year of the Linux desktop after 7 or so years. The year of the MS shill, on the other hand, is even more annoying.

You see, I was talking about words. Strings of sound that have an arbitrary meaning. You are talking about facts. Demonstrable pieces of information. It's like comparing your mother and a classy lady.
But requirements can be vague or just plain wrong, or incorrectly implemented. One of those pointless meetings is a really good way to shake those problems out before you have a bunch of useless code written.

Words mean things. Everyone has to agree what those things are. If your definition of a word doesn't match the rest of the world's definition, you have a problem, not the rest of the world.
That's a hard way to make a decent product. If Billy's app doesn't talk to Sue's service because the two never speak to one another or sit down to do a review, it doesn't matter how brilliant either of them is. Their shit still doesn't work.

Yeah, I was sitting over breakfast reading the Sunday Times and this popped up. Doomed.
Your information is 4 years out of date. Explorer and IExplore are completely separate components.
Is the comment I am responding to not visible or are you guise just stupid?
I kind of doubt the thing will be in an oxygen atmosphere on the moon, so there won't be any need to douse it in CO2 after landing.
Thanks for noticing. Go to hell, master debater.
Do you only drink and post on weekends?
It isn't. Lrn2sarcasmnoob.
You can rent off-duty cops in lots of places for event security and whatnot.
I was actually referring to the SaaR (Software as a Religion) crowd, but a horrible pun works, too.
And paying them so much, too. What the fuck is WRONG with Microsoft?
Sorry if I don't trust your source. It's always been a little slanted...
False believer!

Worse is better!
You are familiar with the term "sales," aren't you?

Everyone knows about Linux.
Not everyone gives a shit about Linux.

Indeed it is, but the thread is filling up with people I wouldn't want to work with. I award myself half credit.

So hacker means blowhard?
Sounds more like "how to hire a self important misanthrope" to me.
