1) Got myself subspended for a weekend for wearing jeans to the office. They were not jeans based on Webster and I still came in worked that weekend.
2) Walked into my bosses office on Friday afternoon and told him that I was going on vacation for next 4 weeks. I had 12 weeks on books.
3) Normally though, I pick up the bug lists. There is always a bugs lists when there is more than 1000 programs making up a system. Goto to "Junk Bugs Section". These are mindless bugs to fix... Fix the spelling of Friday on a report, move title two spaces to right. And do a few of those to get the mind moving again. Think of it as priming a old water pump.
When all else fails - get out and be person! Call special other and go to the beach or a night on town.
On the otherside... NUKES are fun, and the stress of doing it wrong is very high. Take some mental health days and get a new look on life.
With this info, I can guess where the BIG stockholders are going... With IE.
IE is a programming language, a desk top, a window to world, and the next cash cow.
Once IE is no longer "part of the OS", but an app on many OS, it will be the new "Desktop" like KDE or GNOME, but better!!! KDE and GNOME sit over their own small space... IE sits over the NET.
Now can MS get the IE to take tolls to access information on per click bases. Or what about selectable routing -- 10 second responce free, 1 second responce via the "expressway" $.01.
I got to block zdnet from my machine. Tried of giving them cash for people like JB.
JB is just bad. He likes slashdot effects, because it keeps his web counts up. That improves his revenue, which keeps he right there pimping us for his profit.
Maybe/. should copy his page first, then point to it to deprive him of the revenue, so he will just go away.
Consumer Report is not as excellent as that - yes they buy they own products. But most cases, these are only bought in the center of life for the WORLD... the north east.
Prices, Models and like vary widely across the US. It is nice to see them starting to address this fact. But cars are only bought in North East, tested in the North East, bye North Easterners.
Test the cars in Denver at the dead of winter, tell how the gas milage is at that high elevation. Then drive to Florida in August to check that a/c. The land where the a/c is more important than a transmission (wet heat).
So how do we force a fair review of all software... in all locations... England, Germany, US, Russia, Japan, and Brazil, to name a few. To check date formats, local hardware version, and language errors?
Designing a process has NOTHING to do with language. Just as, designing a data model was NOTHING to do with the database engine.
The only time when those two meet is when a person encodes the process into a language that products the run time.
That encoding process take many strange twists... 1) use basic to model process -> write macros in PDP assem so the basic can "use" in assem. 2) use pascal to model search process (pascal had a stack) -> encode into RPG (no stack) -> encode into IBM assem (no stack).
In the end, the language does not matter. It is tool akin to a screwdriver or hammer. It is quaility of the person using that deterines the RIGHT tools is used.
I personally have COBOL, RPG, C, PASCAL, IBM ASSEM, PDP ASSEM, INTEL ASSEM, BASIC, FORTH, JAVA, PERL, and LANSA. With this, I am able to work on just about anything and allowes me to pick the best tool for the job. This better than using one tools for all jobs.
If someoone doesn't want to use Pascal, then they won't use it. There is group out there bringing CLIPPER (dbase compiler) back to life. (WWW.HARBOUR-PROJECT.ORG) If some one wishs not use that, they won't.
But there is alot of existing code out there, that can take avantage of new compilers for these "dead" languages that allow for cross platform. This code is already debugged and is working right (clipper code: WWW.THE-OASIS.NET) and you can download for free. This shortens the development cycle and lowers cost. And that is a good thing.
Maybe have the UN have a copyright / trademark office. You get a global mark from them. So.coke can be owned by coke cola for world wide rights (saves alot in local lawyers)
Then get back local.us and.fl.us to handle smaller business in a local area. This does not mean that some one can take your local name world-wide use it - you have the right to first refusal.
We the US can finally free the Internet of US centric..com is US thing,.ca is a canda thing, so.us should be US thing only..com should die die die.
Now order comes back, oh this is all of course realy under the.earth, so new space station will be.low-earth:-)
And while we are at it IP6 reverse the 254. for the xxx group 253. for casino.
The problem is I do watch the movie as movie. I also watch the movie from the book. I also read the book as a book. AND I SEE THE BOOK AS A MOVIE.
Was a tech in the business many years ago, the story makes the movie not the effects. Hell Star Wars had great effects (for that day), even the updates that where done to it, does not change the original look. (Though, I prefer the original over the re-release, I have both). In the end, the STORY was what made the movie.
Yes, cheap 1940 serial type story. But it is the story that got us wanting 5 & 6, then 1. But note... 1 was not as good as 4 5 or 6. Better computer graphics and the like... IT IS THE STORY that makes the movie. 1 story was week.
The story line for BLADERUNNER was one to show EYE CANDY, period - That is even what Ford implied in his quote.
All the director has done with his current quote is... SELL MORE DVD. IE: Increase his profits.
If lead was a replicant... his eyes would glow. That was the standard for this moive to show the viewer who was who. Even the OWL's eye glowed.
Anything else is a fancy. In the end BLADERUNNER (title stolen from another story) with set design from another timeline (San Francisco area was nuked in the book), is B movie with computer graphic, with no need to be seen again.
Let the movie be lost, and let the book raise again... maybe to be made into a GOOD movie.
There was no meaningful story there, and the director was to make pronoucements to help sells it appears.
Then... Blade Runner is bad movie. Period. It is disjointed to watch, some eye candy (wow), and that was it. The ending was cheap at best, I looked like they ran out of money and then stole from another moive.
They should lose the BASED on clause because then people who have read the book would not use the REAL SF version as a refence point. They use that BASED on as an advertising point to bring us who have read the book to the moive house to show us S..T! I assume you liked DUNE, too.
Same reason there was so many rewrites and Clancy keep refusing to allow his name to be assocatied to / with the 3 moives from his books. His name in the end was assocatied to moives because he agreed the moive was "good" in reguards to BASE CONCEPT and storyline of the book.
Blade Runner was a flight of fancy - And not a good one. I own copies of CLANCY moives, Star Wars, Star Trek and quite of few others - but I will not own BLADE RUNNER or DUNE, both bad moives.
He is also willing to admit that he is not fond of "Blade Runner," Ridley Scott's futuristic cult favorite. "I played a detective who did no detecting," he says. "There was nothing for me to do but stand around and give some vain attempt to give some focus to Ridley's sets. I think some - a lot - of people enjoy it, and that's their perogative." - The Boston Globe, July 14, 1991
The movie lost the real meaning of book. (In the book HE IS NOT A REPLICANT.)
There was Two San Franciscos - Human and Android. The radiation was mutating Humans to be "less human". Andriods were improving to be more human.
Deckard (Human Police) was arrested for murder, by the Android Police.
There were two police stations -- were was this in the moive!
The question in the book -- WHAT IS HUMAN?
The question in the moive -- how to use computer graphics... Then give me the LAST STAR FIGHTER.
Read the real book, and then read UBIK and see reality for what it is not. Another is EYE IN THE SKY or MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE - not as good a UBIK but still.
And to keep your mind swimming -- read Philip Jose Farmer -- for that just-make-my-mind-spin-please feeling
I have seen it in the mainframes in late 70's, the minis in late 80's -- and always from MS;-)
When to open house just after the mainframes allowed for 16meg work spaces and guest speaker was talking a programmer the week before finding the 16meg was a limit and it was too small. He was reading the entire file into 16 meg space then processing it then writing it back -- a main file that was shared by all processes! Because it was faster!
I want WAP for my desk top!!

WAP Under Fire

I want a browser that browses again. IF WAP has been designed for small screens -- then that means low band width to my desk top.
When you have a medical form that says: "Sex: Male Female", that is wrong plain and simple... The correct answers are of the type of: "Not Now, Yes, Not My Type, Often, After Work" and you should pencil them in. My doctor fixed his forms once I did it.
Now what should be there is "Gender: Biological: Male Female, Personality: Male Female".
Best question every asked in a survey at a water park: "Gender of person answering question (By inspection): Male Female" We all pulled our swim trunks out together to check what parts were actually locaated there.
While on this kick: Birth records should have at least 5 boxes to describe the parents: Host, Egg Donor, Sperm Donor, Mother, and Father. Note: Father and Mother are who is going to act in the role so a biological male or female can be placed either boxes.
This link does not opt you out. It only opts out the browser it at using.
I have 8 different machines with different versions of Netscape, IE, and few others to spare. Shot I even have a machine that with a machine inside (VMware). I have a 7 year old, who surfs, she is to opt out too? I believe that she can not even opt in via the COPPA.
So doubleclick thinks that the way that I am to opt out is to opt out each browser? If you read the opt out - it still does not opt you out. You just do not get targetted ads.
the only true opt out 127.0.0.1 Hell assuming your websever at that address port will default a 1x1 gif for a failed lookup.
I have from time to time see a doubleclick redirector appear when I go to slashdot. Get here by selecting slashdot from a bookmark. The bookmark does not slashdot address defined with the redirector. So what is up?

This is pure Caveats.
Their maps will not tell anyone why I am 6'7", why my brothers are 6'2", 6'4" and 6'10".
It at *BEST* will tell that my AGT on the 3rd gene from the left at the 10,000th atom is different from the source sample. Period.
A few million more random samples and you might find a fragment of my family's unique DNA in the map.
What they have today is a kin to the map of the world on display in the Vatican date 1497. Yup there is land to west and it ain't the the east.
Just look at how well it works to take simple information, (yes DNA based in simple information - 4 state machine design) and get the wrong answer.
Earth, Mars and Saturn were all formed millions of years ago from the dust that was circling the sun.
So Earth, Mars and Saturn must look the same, right? All must have life looks like us, right?
Yeah, they are a little different in size, but so are my brothers.
Now for another 200 years for searching in the dark with a flashlight without batteries.
