Not only does it permeate the surroundings, the over-powering garlic smell emanates from the eater of it as if seeping from their pores. Plus, it's not for nothing that there is the term "kimchi fart". Having it sit around on the plate or opened jar is not so noticeable, it's the eating of it, or worse, heating it up, that is so smelly. As for anything else in the refrigerator, well, how about a nice glass of oniony-tasting milk?
On the other hand, check out ISV Super Gal, who "Although she has always wanted to be a cheerleader, she grew up the shy girl genius, was never popular, and had a hard time mixing with the 'in' crowd."
And no wonder, with a figure like that! Built like a block, and flat as a board! Ankles as wide as her hips! Of course, "she also likes Sex in the City". I don't know that show. I know of Sex and the City, a show popular with her type, so maybe they meant that, or it's a copyright dodge.
Now that's innovative, spelling force as fource, because there (whaddya know?) 4 of them in the force (not counting their Amazing Friends, who apparently don't exist as actual physical objects).
I predict a rash of the word "fource" to join "loosing" on the Internets.
I like their FAQ: "What if I miss a superhero in the set?"
Time to kill yourself over this unbearable tragedy.
He sued because the store provided lousy service and yet kept lying about it by keeping "satisfaction guaranteed" sign on the storefront. To be precise, he sued for a ridiculous amount because he claimed DC consumer law stated "Satisfaction guaranteed" meant the business has to satisfy any demand the customer makes, otherwise he's not truly satisfied (he admitted this when asked by the judge on this), and he factored in his cost of having to either rent a car or take a taxi to take his clothes to a different cleaners.
You seem to be saying that any time a business makes a mistake, offends a customer, or creates a conflict, the offended customer should start the meter running on the time they spend writing complaint letters, phoning the business (and time spent on hold), money spent on printer ink and paper and postage, etc etc. I don't see that as beneficial for society. How about this: any time you take an item back as a return and you aren't following the store's return policy, or you're at the check out and disagree with the rung-up price, force them to walk to the aisle and do a price check, and you turn out to be wrong, you get charged more for the employee's time you just wasted?
We need businesses. They need us. An attitude of "you owe me big time!" is not helpful.
Then she suddenly realizes it's been three months and she hasn't gotten any work done I'll try that excuse to my boss when my next project is 3 months behind schedule. I had a problem with network connectivity, and I suddenly (smacks forehead) realized it's been 3 months since I've been able to work on my project!
I think this woman had a responsibility to act more forcefully and earlier if there were such value in her laptop.
Folks, "troll" does not mean "something I disagree with and I'm tired of this guy posting in this thread."
Troll has a meaning. If you think raehl is over-doing it with rehashed explanations of his position that are contrary to how you see things, there is the Redundant mod.
It's babyish to retaliate against a poster you disagree with by modding down as troll, when no trolling is taking place, but rather well-thought out, non-inflammatory arguments that are in opposition to your point of view.
I'll just talk out of my ass here, but my personal knowledge is that if you take photo film in for processing (to a standard generic photo processing business), and the business loses your film, they are only liable for the replacement cost of the roll of film, and not for any value of the *data* (pictures) on that film. So if I'm a pro photographer who just finished a shoot for a client for which they'll pay me, and I drop off the film at Fotos 'R' Us, and they lose the roll, I'm not getting compensated for the value of the photos. Lesson learned? Use a higher quality business to develop my photos, and see if any will offer compensation for data value in the event of a loss. But for that particular event, I'm out the money.
I suspect that this is also the case for businesses working on computers, in regards to any claimed value of the data on the computer. There may be laws regarding identity theft protection in the event of data theft, but as to this woman getting money for the value of the hard drive's contents, I seriously doubt that happening.
And I think the parent you replied to made some excellent points, which you basically tried to nullify by accusing him of working for Best Buy. Like that's a good legal argument.
So your arguments really all boil down to indentation, which is the typical complaint against Python made by non "true Python believers" (oh those nasty true believers!)
I guess copying and pasting code from a source that doesn't preserve formatting (like, oh say, a web page or e-mail) has never bitten you because indenting wasn't preserved correctly. And you'd want to keep it in this misaligned form after knowing about it, just because that's the way it got pasted into your code? How's that for readability?
I, for one, thank Python for its indentation requirements each time I have to open a previous co-worker's Perl code he wrote with a messed up Emacs mode that produced tabs for indentation, and spaces for alignment, and nothing looking right.
But, feel free to bury your head in the sand about indentation. The rest of us will go on indenting our Perl/C#/Java/Ruby/C++/whaterver code for readability and practicality and leave the the true belivers in the One-Python-Way to their religion. And the rest of us Python developers, heads firmly in sand, will continue to program in Python without complaining about indentation, and Python code and applications will continue to flourish and be adopted. Your argument has been around since at least 1.5, when I learned Python. I suppose the argument will continue to be made. As will Python software, naysayers aside.
I'll leave it at that, lest you taunt us a second time-uh.
SAIC is notable for their failure to deliver on a number of huge contracts, only to be awarded follow-up contracts to fix the problems with the original deliveries. I would venture that is the case for many of the big name government/military contractors.
His main point was insightful. There are two parts to the story - one, Linux servers running Apache have been compromised. Two, these servers are infecting Windows clients through vulnerabilities in those clients. This exploit does not affect non-Windows computers.
If the current thinking is indeed that the Linux servers were inappropriately accessed through stolen passwords, how is that a security flaw of Linux or Apache? Like he asked, how is using a legitimate password equal to cracking the server?
On the other hand, turning Windows clients into bots *IS* an example of that software's (and QuickTime's and Yahoo! Messenger's) insecurity and vulnerability!
The 9/11 hijackers had multiple driver's licenses from multiple states, and multiple addresses within states (such as Virginia). ReadID is supposed to enforce "one person, one license", to prevent this. The hijacker's IDs may have been valid in that they were official, not forged, government documents, but they were obtained fraudulently (they had friends provide them with proof of address, etc).
I doubt the performance of the Icelandic auto market keeps auto executives up at night. I always thought using Bora for a VW name was odd considering that Maserati used the name for a much more exciting car in the 1970's.
"Currently giraffes are considered to represent a single species classified into multiple subspecies."
The story contrasts this current view with the new DNA studies that show at least 6 different giraffe species. So the news is that giraffes actually are of different species, not subspecies as previously thought.
Did you watch the video? They point out the crumple zone in the front, and the side-impact beams in the frame as well as in the doors. They exceed Federal requirements.
Did you download and install unauthorized software on your school's equipment?
That could get you fired in the work world. Regardless of the merits of the software. I assume your school had an acceptable usage policy for their computers and networks?
If the assignment were to be using the Internet for research or whatever, I would say it's more unlikely that a teacher whom everyone is assuming is a techo-idiot would glance at the student's screen, see an appropriate and inoffensive web page, and then *notice* that the application's icons looked different from Internet Explorer's.
This is the point that I have trouble with - the assertion that the subjects do not perceive events in slow-motion during an accident, but only that later they remember the event as seeming slowed-down.
When I had a car accident in which my car did multiple 360's and went through a fence, it seems to me that at the time, as my car slid towards the fence, with me watching the fence get nearer, everything seemed slowed-down. I recall thinking "here comes that fence." Not significantly slowed-down (ala 6 Million Dollar Man "du du du du..."), but still a heightened awareness of an event that I perceived as taking longer than normal time.
But that's how it seems to have transpired to me. And how it seems is wrapped up in how I remember it. Funny brain.
I support a couple of web applications I developed, don't get too many calls, but the ones I remember most are:
Caller: I can't get into the site. Me: Do you have an account to log in with? Caller: Huh? Me: Ok, click 'Create Account', you'll see a form to fill out with your information. Fill it out to make an account. Caller: Ok (typing noises heard over phone) (long pause... no typing noises... getting really long...) Me: Are you done? Caller: Do you want me to press that 'Submit form' button?
and a different caller -
Me: You need to create a password for your account. It should have a lower-case letter, an uppercase letter, and a digit. Caller: You mean the number kind of digit? Me: (suppressing urge to say, "No, cut off a finger and mail it to me!")
Thank you, Mr. Wall, for providing a language that caught my interest and led me into a profitable career.
However, I moved on several years ago. One of those Python guys inspired negatively by Perl. Much of what keeps me away from Ruby, in fact, is the Perl resemblance. I still have a legacy Perl application to maintain, but I don't do any new Perl work.
I'd think a regular "State of the Onion" pronouncement would be an avenue to discuss where we are today, and where we are headed, with Perl. Instead, it's a rambling short history of "scripting" languages, and a rundown of various language design choices with "Perl 6 will have [x]" statements.
I guess I really don't get the purpose of the essay.
As to TMTOWTDI, I've concluded TOABWTDI (There's Often A Better Way To Do It).
Your points have nothing to do with what you're replying to.
1) He made no assumption that everyone in urban areas is intelligent. Saying that urban areas tend to have higher concentrations of intelligent people is not saying everyone there is intelligent. Since he made no such assumption, your NY blue collar worker example is moot.
2) He didn't say there was something innate to NY or San Francisco that makes people smarter, he said that in the majority of people in the USA don't display the level of smarts that you find in higher concentrations in the populations of the US coastal regions and midwestern urban areas.
His point is arguable, but you argued your own imaginary points. His post was also inflammatory, and based on his anecdotal experience, but you seem to bear him out.
Ra-di-a-tion. Yes, indeed. You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you. Pernicious nonsense. Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year. They ought to have them, too.
That color scheme thing made me wonder if I was really reading the Onion. Or the Style or Arts section of the paper. The device doesn't clash with the color scheme of the tank's interior? I didn't know "must look fabulous" was a requirement.

I wondered the same. A staple of 1960's shows? Only Get Smart as far as I recall.
