Just when you think you've hit the nadir, you discover there's still a huge fucking crevasse. People need to take resposibility for their actions, and shut the fuck up. Right now.
The game had nothing to do with his problems, nor any of the other problems described in this article, and likening video games to heroin is just rediculous.
These are just incontinent people. They understand that neglecting family, work, friends and what not is wrong, but they freely choose to do so. There's no physical addiction, their hair won't hurt when they stop playing, they can stop if they want to.
Yeah, I know somebody is going to say 'but they have an addictive personality.' Here's four words for people with addictive personalities, "sucks to be you." I'd try to feel bad for you, but everything can be addicting at some level, and a true addictive personality has to take extra care to make sure that they're getting hooked on good things, like exercise, family, laughter, and prostitutes, and stop blaming the rest of the world for making things you like.
Actually, that's not the case at all. 32-bit unix-based browsers (mozilla, opera, netscape, konqueror, etc) cannot have a cookie last beyond January of 2038, due to the fact that time is represented with 31 bits, and only the times between 1970 and 2038 exist in the most commonly used functions.
Operating systems that don't use a defective time model by default can accept a Max-Age on a cookie of a full 32-bit range, and save that expiration date in a non-limiting format. This allows those browsers to expire a cookie up to 136 years after the moment it was set, and that's just following the spec. If the operating system doesn't have a broken time model, one should actually be able to modify that further, beyond what is possible with in the specifications laid out by RFC 2019.
Thus, in no case is 2099 the last year that you can use. It's either 2038, 2138 or infinite.
Next time you insult me (without citing any reference for your rediculous argument), you should at least pick words which exist in unabridged dictionaries. Promogulate isn't a cromulent word at all.
As for research into cancer, I've done a lot of it, I've probably spent a solid 6 months reading medical journals while attempting to see if there was anything that the doctors hadn't considered. Not ONCE have I read of a sizeable tumor disappearing in 4 to 8 hours. A week, two weeks, sure. 4 hours? Hell no.
You're just an idiot who read something in some new-age book and spouts it out as though you've actually done research. Go back into your hidey-hole, before you set medicine back another thousand years.
you're a fucking retard. It's too bad you came just shy of invoking Godwin's thread, and ending this rediculously offensive and idiotic thread.
You show me a tumor that goes into remission in 4 to 8 hours, and I'll show you a broken MRI.

Programming Jabber

Jabber seems like such a good idea at first, you may find somebody in your corporation saying 'hey, let's run a jabber server internally instead of using desk phones, cell phones, email or our shoes.' Let me be very clear about this, if somebody says this, even if they make it sound good, they should be fired on the spot.
Problem Number One: The server sucks. Once you start using jabber, you get the joy of watching your client disconnect for no apparent reason, quite regularly.
Problem Number Two: The gateways suck. Jabber has a cool concept where it can provide a gateway to other instant messengers, such as AIM. They crash. A lot. Additionally, you'll find that the jabber gateways can't block senders, so remember that psychopath who is suing the company and you don't want to even know if he's trying to contact you? Too fucking bad, suddenly his messages pop right up.
Problem Number Three: The client sucks. First of all, it crashes (have you noticed a pattern here, yet?), and secondly it has a terrible concept of what should happen to window focus when an incoming message arrives.
Problem Number Four: It's not neccessary. Everybody already has a desk phone, a cell phone and email. Many people also have pagers, wireless email and such. The problem isn't a lack of methods with which to communicate. Adding jabber will not make your company more competitive, reduce costs, improve communication or improve morale.
The moral of the story? Shoot anybody who uses jabber, and you'll save yourself a lot of trouble in the long run.
As a recently laid-off bastard, I can say that I'd LOVE a gov't IT hiring spree. My first employer no longer exists at all. My second employer is a shell of it's former self, whose management effectively ignores it's only successful product, considering it a sideline. My last employer is 50% the size that it was when I got hired, and it's still shrinking.
Yeah, I might not make as much money at the gov't, but I could give a flying fuck about that. I'd just like it if i could get into a position where if I lost my job it was due to something I did wrong, at least a little.

I don't know what you were doing, but I also worked for a company that dealt closely with TMS, using their data feeds. To be specific, we used the big build, and the latin big build, and the cost was rediculously minimal. I believe it was well under a couple hundred bucks per month for a database which contained all the guide data for latin america, and the united states and that's with the rights to redistribute the data to a large number of servers that were under our control.
Perhaps setting up a small company to purchase from TMS, and resell to users would be viable, though I'm betting that I have a non-compete that wouldn't let me start that company for another year or so.
I don't think the open source database has a shot in hell of working, to be honest. Hell, I doubt you could even get the channel lineups setup, let alone anything resembling accurate program data.
Extremely cool! Now I just need to find a way to buy a personal data feed from Tribune Media Services, and there's a networkable, build-your-own TiVo! I wonder if they'd be willing to sell feeds to individuals...
Sounds like I either need to start porting, or install Leenooks!
Sounds to me like you don't understand how the BSD filesystem works. While Linux has started implementing journaling filesystems in order to get better recoverability, BSD used a different technique. It shifts the filesystem from valid state to valid state, in a manner where the only error that can occur due to a crash is a harmless wasted inode, wasting a little disk space. This can be cleaned up with a fsck.
Because the only error that can exist on a UFS filesystem with SoftUpdates enabled is this wasted space, there's no problem running the fsck as a background process.

What kind of crack are you on that you can't even admit that your simile was completely and totally fuckwitted?
If I remember my 7th grade English classes correctly, a simile expresses noteable similarities between two different things. Thus, you were expressing a noteworthy similarity between the killing and wounding of the sick and their care providers to showing a large number of people that an ftp site has software they might enjoy.
Don't try to deny that you made a completely rediculous statement. Instead acknowledge the fact that you obviously just smoked a slab of rock, and move on.

Two comments that may lend some insight into your problem:
SCSI and Fibre Channel controllers are designed to handle just this sort of thing, no problem. Real Operating Systems can start or stop a device live, rescan a bus to see if something new showed up or something old went away, they can do pretty much everything live.
IDE on the other hand is a steaming pile of shit. I love the way that great IDE advancements are all just implementations of long-standing SCSI features. Five more years, and IDE will have the entire SCSI command set. Way to innovate, IDE!
I've had great luck with hot-swappable drives! The trick is to take your IDE devices and run over them with a large vehicle. Now make an emergency requisition of SCSI or FibreChannel devices, and all will work exactly as you were hoping.

If you hold an interest in cryptography, then you should realize that d.net is an incredibly boring application. It does the cryptographic equivalent of proving that it's possible to count to a million, by ones. It's absolutely useless.
If d.net did something interesting, like attempt to find an improved factoring algorithm, or to find a way to perform interesting analysis on ciphertext, then it would be useful. Right now though, it's a 100% useless application.
Think for a moment about what d.net truly does, and tell me with a straight face that it's interesting to either a cryptologist or a cryptanalyst.
If you want to help somebody with your spare cycles, you can help cure diseases or if you're so inclined, you can perform FFTs on random noise. Don't try to tell me that d.net helps anything though; you're kidding yourself if you think so.
