Folks like Rosie O'Donnel, Diane Feinstein, Sarah Brady, and the lady who heads up the Million Mom March are all right. They know that guns are the true problem and not the people that illegally use them.
Wait... Rosie O'Donnel has armed guards... Feinstein has a concealed carry permit... Brady bought her son a rifle... what was it with the lady heading up the Million Mom March ? It has nothing to do with making anything safer, geesh, more people die from prescription errors and drowning in swimming pools. It has to do with making only an elite being able to have them. Nice hypocritical, anti-freedom company you want to keep, AC.
"The people have no legitimate need for guns but the various police agencies should be very well armed." -- Yes, this has worked very well in England, Australia, and New Zealand.
Just one quick question - why is it that anti-freedom folks try to put personal responsibility upon inanimate objects?
Kind of like the wonderful monopoly with health care? Sorry ma'am, you have to wait until we finish cat scanning the cow.
Or your natural gas multi-year contracts? Yes, the ones that are _really_outragously_priced.
Care to talk about hydro (to us 'mericans, that means 'lectricity) and those wonderful prices?
"You simply TELL the company they must provide quality service, no excuses." Really? How sophmoric! Canadian Natural Gas suppliers, hear ye! Be more competative!!! Let me know if it works, if not, I'll say it again.
I just use the mod points on my posts. I then multiply that by my karma-factor... oh wait, that's a constant "bad".. rats. Anyway, my posts mod points - can't get much more random than that!
Point C can also be applied to developers. I started noticing in the mid-90's that "programmers" were really becoming point-and-click based. Nowadays, I regularly run into folks on the market for a development job that have no idea what a "socket", a "pointer", or can even describe the structure of a HTML page. The usual answer I get is along the lines of "...but the IDE does it for me...". Also consider some of these folks have Masters degrees. Pretty sad, if you ask me.
Doh! As good software engineers, wouldn't it be better for us to pay attention and understand what we're trying to make the machine do rather than rely on syntactic sugar thereby making things happen by accident?;-)
OMG!!! I should really be modded down for this flamebait! And I'm still cranky. I need a beer.....cheers.
You don't need an embedded operating system. There are plenty of things available that will do a better job. Frankly, I'm surprised BMW didn't subcontract some software development shop to do some nice ADA work. Yes, ADA still lives in Europe, and there are some very nice things about it like --- you don't need an operating system to execute an ADA application. It's exception handling mechanism, coroutines, and concurrency make it really shine in this kind of environment. Go figure...
(Geesh.. no karma whoring here--ok, just a littel bit-- but can someone throw me a bone to get above 'BAD'?)
Comcast is a services company (literally just saw one of their crappy commercials). One of they're services is "High Speed Internet"; another is cable television (digital and analog flavors). As a subscriber to their service, they are merely providing an infrastructure upon which I can read all the witty comments on/. Does this mean they are no longer sellling the service, and are going to the "prepaid hours" (like cell phones)? If so, when will this mean there are TV Show caps -- a message pops up saying "Sorry, you can't watch Farscape. You've seen 12 espisodes this month. Please insert your quarter into your set-top-box." (don't slam me about how far the analogy goes before it breaks down... I'm just trying to convey a concept)
Yes, there are bandwidth hogs out there, but I'm paying for a service, not a vending machine.
We can't forget Homer's brother's invention! Wasn't it a baby translator? Or was it a dog translator.... tough to remember through the beer induced haze of college......

That was a close description.
1 - load
2 - execute
3 - store
It's important to store the result of the operation.

This isn't a troll, just an observation.
Now that's not nice. You Brits are still a little sore about that lil revolution thingie, aren't you? ;-)

Dude... the math is correct. Look at the implicit type-casting that's going on.
>Arithmetic according to C: float x = 3.14159; float y = 1/2 * x; Value of y? zero.
1 and 2 are integers.
I know... off topic, but I'm tired and cranky and already at -1, so what's the worst that can happen? -2?
doh..... a really long day....
;-)

It would have been up longer except my power failed - blown transformer (nice lightshow, so it wasn't a complete loss).

GE's patent on an array of stacks? Yup! They hold the patent on it. Unbelievable, but true.
Bwahahahahahaha!
