Asserting a pre/post condition that other code in the project should be conforming to is hardly the same as designing your product based on what you think other companies, which you have no control over, will do in the future.
and it's illegal. Well ok, it's not at all the same type of high, but the health side effects from opium use are negligible compared to alcohol. Alcohol and tobacco are only legal because they're already legal, and there are (as already has been demonstrated) social, economic and political consequences for changing our stance on these. If they had just suddenly been introduced today, no way would you would be able to legally manufacture, sell or possess them.
We can also thank our anti-drug culture the practice of adding things such as acetaminophen to opiates (e.g., vicodin and oxycodone) to make sure it destroys your liver if you become addicted (as a "deterrent"). Given this, I don't think the government, or whoever decides such things, would be terribly pleased with a readily available drug with the "positive" effects of alcohol and none of the negative effects. If this really shows up, don't be surprised if it is simply labelled a "designer" drug and made highly illegal.
Who the hell cares about being on anyone's foes list?
Of course, back to the original point, to think that the opinion of or facts contributed by someone that didn't bother to create an account are any less valid than those of someone that did bother to create an account that is not necessarily any less anonymous than posting as AC is ridiculous. Somehow, I don't think 'Southpaw018' is his or her real name, and if it was, I doubt his posts would be any more worth reading than they already are.
Nothing personal, but after the 100th time seeing the same joke I had to say something.
In related news my patent was finally granted today, I'm going to demand payment from all prior and future infringers:
Claim 1: A slashdot post, comprising a series of enumerated "steps", including a step of "???" and concluding in a final step of "profit".
Claim 2: The slashdot post of claim 1 wherein it also stated or implied that the step of "???" is to be replaced with or should be substituted for a statement implying patent litigation.
This has been available for several years now in Japan and other non-US markets. The reason why Toyota didn't release this tech in the US was fear of liability lawsuits in the US' sue-happy culture if something went wrong.
Where did you get this from?
Have they changed their stance on this?
Why are you asking this if you know the above to be true?
I don't think it has anything to do with education. Watching a movie with subtitles is like trying to drive while staring at the speedometer the whole time. Admittedly when you are watching a foreign language film you have two choices: read subtitles or put up with possibly a poorly performed dub job. Or learn the language. I think most people prefer taking their chances on a dub and not having the suspension of disbelief constantly ruined by needing to look away from the action to read.
To suggest that most Americans prefer dubs because they can't read is ridiculous. Most Americans consider film watching a relaxing activity and do not want to have to put effort into watching movies. Hence subtitles are only used on 'art' films where it is given that the viewer will have to do some thinking and would rather hear the original performance (even if they can't understand it).
I can understand if they had just said Homer. More antics do revolve around him than any other character. But why mention Bart, at the exclusion of the rest of the family? No more of the show is about him than Lisa or Marge (Maggie does very rarely play a major role). Obviously the author did not consider them as important. If he had, he would have mentioned them, or just generalized to "his family", or only talked about Homer. Why wouldn't he consider them as relevant as Bart? What is the ONLY thing that sets them apart, other than their gender?
And finally, how is MY message a troll? I didn't expect anyone to respond. You can accept or reject my conclusion at your discretion. If you have a logical argument against it I would love to hear it but I don't see what it could be. A troll is written with obvious logical and factual flaws in an inciteful way as to provoke as many responses as possible.
I hope this means they get rid of the whole ridiculous tagging system. What purpose does it serve? You can't browse articles by tag, for example. All it does it let people label articles dumb things (like 'gay') that everyone has to see on the front page.
It's just moderately useless the rest of the year. Besides, when something does 'happen in the tech world', it usually takes at least a day for a link to an article to show up on slashdot anyways, so you're not missing anything.
ACM itself is a real professional organization; however most of the student chapters are primarily drinking clubs. I had to disassociate myself after the new officers started running a porn business out of the office.
If you even just skim the page, you'll see that only the fact that it sends a feedback report is similar. Most of the project consists of 'sparse' weighted sampling of instrumented code, research into what are useful metrics to use to instrument the code, and how to correlate the collected data with patterns to auomate finding bugs.
Apparently these "journalists" didn't bother bringing up important issues like click fraud. I suppose though, they are as much a part of the conspiracy to defraud advertisers and shareholders as Google and the people operating the clicking bot nets.
'Every time you are promoted to a higher level, your clothes will become more average,' he said. I'm pretty sure this isn't a translation screw up. The longer you grind, the more you look like everyone else.
Yeah google earth saved me a ton of money when I looked up a house I was considering purchasing because if it weren't for google earth I wouldn't have seen the termites.

Basically, do it however you like, but put them in separate declarations if you're going to mix pointers and non-pointers.
A network of networks is simply a bigger network.

Ha! That is so original!

My character runs faster than the horse. That's not taking into account sitting there watching the mount/dismount animations.

Yeah, except the ones on the front page are completely useless. You can't even turn them off if you don't want to see them.
Anonymous, clandestine speech is hardly equivalent to true freedom of public debate.

In conclusion, fuck you.

What about the other 3 characters in the family? I guess their antics are irrelevant to the show.

Actually it takes about 2 hours 14 minutes to beat, without cheats.

Well that will never happen because this system requires the source code. Did you even look at the page?

The government should just send someone to sit in the lobby of Google where they show everyone's search requests on a giant ticker.

And this is different from WoW in what way?
More like 633,600 feet.
