It's not entirely on the spot. His main complaint is that the developer is stupid for starting his own project.
Just a tip, developers don't appreciate being called stupid.
But they are obviously the only ones that can create software for this person as he seems to not be a developer himself, but only a user (otherwise he'd add the missing feature, right?).
Personally I think he's a little stupid for assuming that OSS developers code for his personal benefit. The developers don't ask for money, but I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for a little respect considering the situation. He's talking about a developer that may spend hundreds or thousands of hours of their time, without compensation, so they can get bitched at by some user? Not my idea of a rewarding hobby.
Geez Batman, how are we going to figure this one out?
Quick Robin, to the article!
There is a growing shortage of people who are familiar with the workings of the large mechanical clocks on churches and public buildings, as routine maintenance tasks such as winding the clocks become automated. Yet they still need to be put forward an hour in spring and moved back again in the autumn without damaging their fragile mechanisms, some of which are 250 years old.
Does if matter if you change the channel on the radio? What are you going to change it to? ClearChannel 95.1, ClearChannel 95.5, ClearChannel, 95.7......
1.) Attach scanner 2.) Wait for BSOD 3.) Convince everyone that's what its suppose to do now because Windows was able to detect it was an evil scanner sent to cause you enormous grief by not being WHQL certified.
MS Matchmaker 1.0, due to be released in Q3 2006 will allow you to easily be paired with your ideal BSA representative as well as the perfect in-home Microsoft sales person.
No need to worry though, this new service will not interfere with your Duke Nukem Forever gameplay, as the tentative Matchmaker release date will still precedes Duke Nukem by 3 years.
Whatever happened to that scientist that was going to record his brainwaves while he moved his arm around, and then play the signals back into his brain to see if his arm would make the same movements? Anybody remember this? I saw it on Wired a year or two ago.
I agree, although I'd like to see a professionally made documentary done for the "making of" feature in movies. Every one I've seen has been nothing more that the supervisors spending 15 minutes talking over some movie footage. Even then they're terribly unprepared, as every other word is "uh".
Your buddies in the college dorm telling you to leave your FTP server running 24 hours a day does not count as encouragement from the college administration the FBI, or the RIAA/MPAA, which are the ones who are going to make your life miserable if you're on or off campus.
However, you should feel free to use that in your defense when they haul you into court. I'm sure you'll get a link on Fark with a "dumbass" tag next to it.
You must have failed College Math 101. Dollar amounts are to be clearly be represented in Ramen noodle packets. Therefore, $20 = 160 packets = 160/3 meals per day = 1.8 months of good eatin'.
Yeah, that was a stupid way to phrase it. I was trying to simultaneously complain about two different factors in popular music and I wasn't paying enough attention.
Every song in the 70s/80s was based on 3 major power chords. Now in the 90s/00s, it's based on 3 minor open chords with some finger picking tossed in for an intro. This isn't going to change the quality of music, just it's production process.

Tip the server??? Do you know how much these rackmounts cost!!!

printf doesn't do text-to-speech conversion for the blind or those without monitors.
okay, the real question is why do this at all?

This article is about quantum programming, not Windows programming.

Let me give you the rundown on the demo.
1.) Attach scanner
2.) Wait for BSOD
3.) Convince everyone that's what its suppose to do now because Windows was able to detect it was an evil scanner sent to cause you enormous grief by not being WHQL certified.

Maybe you have lots of friends and they're all filling out those "notify my friends" forms?

For the next hour feel free to surf all the porn sites you want, the NetAccountability server will be experiencing "technical" difficulties.

El Nino isn't the root cause of the problem. It's that damn butterfly over in China again that's causing El Nino.
Too few registers
;)
Registers have special purposes, and are not generic enough
Psssst, you're support to provide your own variables
.DATA
SomeWord dw 0
.CODE
What's that got to do with reading?

I heard they got some VC money a couple years back, but for some reason their website never took off.
No, just don't open the first attachment.

Feel free to open the second attachment to find out what kind of perverts your friends are
I personally like the SBC/Yahoo DSL ad I just saw today.
"Internet That Logs Onto You".

Will it bring back the long lost guitar solo

Yeah, cause those 20 year old games would be way too complex to create from scratch in a day or two.
And by doing everything over a telnet session you get the nostalgic feeling of using a 9600 baud modem while on your broadband connection :)
