For the past two weeks all of the senior developers at my company, including me, have been on vacation, with the exception of one junior developer. I looked at the CVS history today and nearly cried.
Learn both? Nothing is precluding you from taking both courses, or taking one course and learning the second language on your own time. You'll have a greater sense of both languages should you take the time to see the ins and outs of both.
After Christmas last year I got a bunch of nice clothes. Black leather ankle boots, cashmere & wool sweaters, dress shirts, etc. You could say I was mildly metrosexual. When I started a new job the following January I was heckled by quite a few people in the company. One woman always said, "Hey that's a nice shirt... are you gay!?" The best part is the people who were actually gay in the office felt left out because no one was noticing their dress.
We are paying for this. The $3 billion is coming from the tax payers. The funny thing is, it's really the TV industry that forced us to pay for this ourselves, automatically via taxes.
Public health officials said the infected person visited the following areas: Malay Satay Hut, 15230 NE 24th St., Redmond, WA 98052 on August 16th 2005, from 12-3 p.m.
Okay if you ever go to that place STAY AWAY from the durian shake. It smells like ass. Last time a friend of mine had one I made him hold it outside of the car while we were driving away. Seriously, run for your life!
Ah. I thought the number of 240,000 seemed high for spycount for a country the size of Poland. The CIA would be jealous if it had the budget for 240,000 actual clandestine agents.
Compilation of a full application is heavily dependent on I/O. If you're compiling tons of tiny object files and then doing one big link, then most likely the CPU isn't being taxed. Try your benchmarks again while mounting a RAM based file system and compile PostgreSQL from there. The times will probably be vastly reduced, and indicate more about relative CPU performance.

There is far too much legal conversation going on that he completely ignored in this study, choosing to focus on the top 60 warez channels to the exclusion of all else
The remaining wonderful conversation is fully documented here.
If you're using a cell phone you can also just dial "+" + country code + area code + local number. It works regardless of where your cell phone is anywhere in the world. To make the plus you hold down the 0 button for a couple seconds.
Marathon, an FPS, to Myth, a team player RTS, to Oni a FPS/martial arts game, to Halo, possible the most creative FPS to date.
Marathon was an inventive FPS at the time. Marathon 2 and Marathon Infinity were not inventive. Granted Double Aught did Marathon Infinity, but DA had ex-Bungie employees at the helm (Greg Kirkpatrick has stinky feet--a terminal told me this). Oni had horrible execution. Even moreso than Halo. The levels were beige buildings that you walked around in and you kicked people. Bungie West made this game and was immediately closed afterwards. Fanboys love Halo, but it appears the level designers stayed true to cut & paste. Ah, the evils of cut & paste. Halo didn't show anyone anything they hadn't seen before, that is, unless their eyes were closed. Myth was inventive, but Myth 2 and Myth 3 were not. Granted, Bungie didn't do Myth 3. Bungie is a great company and I always await their next game, but they aren't Gods among men.

As a DOOM LAN player I can say the same thing about Quake as you did Halo. Every group has that first hit game that makes them a nerd, or even more of a nerd. Sad, but true. Hell, as a Marathon LAN player I can say the same thing about DOOM.
As a joke a friend of mine and I started pronouncing C# as "see pound." My friend had a job interview and he kept calling it "see pound," and only realized this a few hours after the interview. Oops? No job for him.
You missed the point. The War effort was an unbelievable success. The post-War effort was and is an unbelievable failure. Duh.
It's not about Saddam, he has been out of power for a long time and the troops haven't left yet.
So you complain about a poor post-War effort, yet you complain that the troops haven't left yet? Make up your mind.
It's not have democracy, the people are powerless, living under curfew and with no elections in sight.
How was this any different when Saddam was in power? It has improved and will continue to improve if all parties involved are vigilant. Just because Democracy-in-a-can wasn't used doesn't mean the whole effort is a failure.
It's not about freedom, the US occupation has closed newspapers complaining about the occupation.
They closed a single newspaper that advocated the murder of US soldiers. There are currently more newspapers in distribution than there ever had been under Saddam's rule.
Your need to develop your argumentative skills beyond hyperbole.
Shh, we're supposed to be nerdy Liberals here. The news can only report on anything that went wrong (didn't go perfectly) when it comes to the actions of the dirty Neocon administration. Shock & Awe over the fact that a country the size of California was crushed by our military might in such a short period shouldn't enter your mind.
Per-site preferences rocked my world. OmniWeb innovates while others stagnate. A new feature in Safari for 10.4 is RSS feeds. Woo... Why not improve my actual browsing experience? OmniGroup focuses on doing this rather than adding stupid add-ons. The use of WebKit has freed OmniGroup from having to build a rendering engine (re-inventing the wheel) and allows all the talent flow to improving the act of browsing. Job well done.
So patents are great when they're used against organizations you don't like, but they're evil when they're used to squash innovation? You can't have it both ways.

I've been working on step 1 for 35 years without much success.
Are you sure you're not confusing step 3 with step 1?
1. Find a woman who can tolerate you.
2. Enter the kitchen with her.
3. Do whatever she says.
Actually, if you leave out step 2 the other steps nearly always apply.
So patents are great when they're used against organizations you don't like, but they're evil when they're used to squash innovation? You can't have it both ways.
