As an IT professional who is not necessarily a programmer, but someone who has written some (probably horrible) code, I would appreciate a getting really good at the basics online course. I've been a sysadmin who specialized in Identity Management and also Security, but missed a few of the coding building blocks along the way. It'd be nice if I could have conversations with our developers having a few of those blocks filled in.
I find almost every time I go to a movie at the theater nowadays, the other members of the audience annoy the crap out of me. Between the teenagers opening up the emergency exits to let their friends in free of charge, the people who don't turn off their cell phones, and the idiots that shout out obscenities, etc. I find the movie going experience to be more stressful than entertaining. The worst was about a 15 year old kid that decided to impress his hoodlum buddies by throwing a large cup worth of softdrink on the audience. Free refills, he wasn't out more than a walk to the refreshment stand.

Except that the person will still have to shell out money to hire an attorney to get the case thrown out. Unless the defendent goes pro se, which would take time and research. Speaking as someone who was staring at a possible lawsuit in federal court by another less publicised dragnet, there is no easy way to come out of one of these suits unscathed. I would have gone pro se, but it still cost me on average 4 hours a day for many months to do enough research that I felt reasonably comfortable defending myself.
1999 article discussing the ToDo features in Delphi 5:
Here you go.... From this page: http://www.marcocantu.com/papers/face5.htm
"The ToDo List is a great tool for tracking the progress of a single person or an entire team in developing and debugging a project. The ToDo Items window automatically scans the source code of the entire project, looking for ToDo comments and the project's special ToDo file. Its visual support is outstanding. I'm using the list frequently with my projects."
technically it only costs $100 to file a case in federal court. If they are doing like directv, then they are filing multiple defendants per case. The attorneys take a percentage. This means that they probably net $1400 per case assuming the lawyers take 50%.
"Jewish law demands that these objects be written by hand and comply with the strict standards conveyed to us by Moses at Mount Sinai over three thousand years ago. All products I sell conform to Jewish law."
Can I make a living building sextants? No.
Well... Actually.... yes.... Believe it or not there is a market for sextants.
That company is going downhill so fast, it's no real surprise they're turning to other sources for revenue.
Sounds to me a bit like SCO... and eventually maybe Microsoft. I wish companies would just take their medicine for not getting on the bandwagon in time instead of becoming litigious pieces of &*^%.
Yeah, I know there are much cheaper companies out there, but I was quoting what AT&T usually charges. Most telecons for stockholders and the like are hosted through someone like sprint or AT&T...
I know AT&T is anywhere from $.80 to $1.00/minute.
I'd hate to pay the bill for that telecon. Considering it usually costs $1 per minute per participant, perhaps we can put a dent in their extortion fund!
Seriously though, I hope the company that is hosting the telecon has a lot of lines reserved.
I wonder if that includes sitting in front of a CRT for 12 hours a day? I know I end up in front of one a good bit. Nice big 21" monsters that weigh a ton.
Sun already does have to support windows. This is due to their "PC Card" that you can put in any sun machine and use it to run windows. Therefore, they do have a Windows OS support team.
Holy shit... this thing weighs 37,000+ pounds and gets 5.7 miles to the gallon. My 2002 dodge truck only gets 3-4 times that at less than 1/6 the weight.
Damn shame I need the truck for pulling my 6,400 pound boat. We don't even want to talk about the mileage then.
And before all you damned bleeding heart pansy assed environmental wackos criticize me for having a gas guzzling truck, I drive a car during the week that gets 34 miles to the gallon. Not everyone drives a SUV to the grocery store. I own a truck for a purpose, damnit!
The Democrats receive WAY more funding from the entertainment industry. I hate people that grab one issue and then run only with that one issue and never look at the big picture.

Personally, I am a registered Libertarian, but I vote Republican. The Democrats have done far more damage to this country than the Repulicans. The Democrats are the reason I am paying for all of the unemployed asses and their grandmothers damned doctor bills. When the Democrats leave my paycheck and my guns alone, I will vote Democrat. Until then, fuck 'em.
"They are proposing licenses on a per computer or per FTE basis"
It is already here. I was at a meeting at my local university and there was a M$ rep here that was discussing the licensing plan. I was very happy when the next presentation was about how the university was adopting linux in many areas, and that there was now official Redhat support available for the entire university. The M$ rep was sweating bullets....
People need to realize that winbloze is not the cure all. I drove through the Jack in the Box drive through the other night and observed the BSOD with the name of the company on the BS. Delphi Engineering. I laughed to myself then went to work which is a linux/Solaris shop. My systems mostly have over a year of uptime. We do not have problems like these.
I used to think I would like to live in Australia one day. I liked the idea of traveling there sometime and visiting to see all of the unique things that Australia has to offer. Now I believe that I will stay here in the United States. No matter how frustrated I get over the things that our money grubbing polititians do, I have only to look "down under" to see a government that is full of raving lunatics.
When Australia decided to ban guns, you know what happened? the crime skyrocketed.

It is time for the Aussies to get their heads out of their asses and do something about all of this. I don't know much about Australia's style of government and whether or not the people have very much power, but I would be leaving Australia if there was nothing I could do about it.
Now I think I will take my tourism dollars elsewhere. Until Australia starts respecting it's citizens rights, I don't have much faith in whether or not they would respect a tourist.

Socialists anyway...
Solaris already will run Linux binaries.

As if NPR is an unbiased source of news.

You can probably also bet that it won't be Sun, since I believe that they have paid money to SCO also. Not positive, but I think they have.

2600khz not 2600mhz.
It had to be an audible tone, and AFAIK you cannot possibly hear 2600mhz.....

doesn't look like your email is valid... just be sure to post the response here.
cool... May have to check into that..
I always forget about NZ for some reason. I have however seen some pretty cool shows on the discovery channel etc. from New Zealand.
