You know what's way more annoying that other people talking on the phone? Whingers who have nothing better to do than complain about other people being on the phone. How is it your business if they're on the phone, and how do you know if it's important to them who they're talking to? Of course you turn the bloody thing to silent or off in the theatre, but in the mall, or on a bus or a train or a plane, why should you care?
The short of it is, if the project is small enough for you to just sit in a corner and do it by yourself, then you don't need UML at all. But for large, complicated systems that are meant to handle all sorts of different data in all sorts of ways (and be extensible), and are being worked on by 2 or more programmers full-time, then you bet you need it. Not UML per se, but some sort of agreed-upon standard amongst your developers. When you've got a system with well-defined domains, all being worked on by different people (and swapping sometimes), just the leisure of having all your interfaces / empty classes generated helps enourmously for interoperation and cooperation between developers.
It's a tickbox in the time settings in XP, you can choose to synch to NIST or time.microsoft.time or you can enter in some other address if you so desire.
Look it's pretty simple. When you get to the point where there's gonna be a fight and you can't avoid it, headbut the biggest guy first before somebody decides to hit you. A liverpool kiss is a great demoralizer, and anybody not serious will back off right away. Then kick the second biggest bloke in the nuts and start swinging. Take a few of them with you. They'll think twice about giving you a hard time in the future, and other people definitely won't.
Yeah I definitely have to SMOKE agree with you there. But the problem is, that SMOKE people are becoming immune to regular advertisements, and the SMOKE "pay for your content by watching ads" business model SMOKE doesn't want to die, much like the pay "$30 for your SMOKE cd" business model. And people are SMOKE used to getting their content "free" so they don't want to SMOKE pay for it.
I see your personal-anecdote-cum-evidence, and raise you a my xp has only ever crashed due to lousy on-board ac97 sound and copious heat put out via my gf4, and I'm running all sorts of wild shit and games.
Crashes - There were horrible compatibility issues. Lots of games made you select from a list of components for video and sound. Alot of times my stuff wasn't on the list (darn you Tandy!). So I'd end up with junky graphics, and/or glitchy or non-working sound. Later on sound cards (like the first sound blaster) would randomly crash your system if things weren't setup just right (IRQs, memory addresses). Then when the first dedicated video cards started coming out they were the random crasher.
Hehehe... Youngsters. I believe the grandparent poster was lamenting the times before the days of irqs and hercules adapters and PC compatibles. I read his post and missed my apple//c:)

I assumed girls just never talked to most of the boy geeks in here, not that it happened and they went "EEP" ;-)
I'd definitely be interested in that. I thought nokia's couldn't be unlocked save by magic infra-red pulses?
Should also make toast, stop world hunger and attract women.
Also, (but not necessary) if it could cure AIDS I'd probably pay an extra $50.
Yeah, because a "national security" satelitte will be for spying on things outside the US...

It's probably just an orbiting weapons platform for use of the xxAA anyway
Aw, nuts.... I thought that said pimpingdesign.com..... boy was I let down.

Well being an aussie I don't tend to miss out on the boobs, and on TV the thing that's cut the most is language.
You guys went 15 years or so without even knowing about the heart scene? Salty.... Bloody censorship pisses me off no end.

Since amish aren't allowed to watch tv/movies, or listen to recorded music, how do they get offended by weird al?
"It's the 2004 re-issue! You kids out there can get them right now!"
Not to mention that the 2004 chuck is the same as the 2003 chuck, and the 2002 chuck, and the 1985 chuck, etc etc...

Aussies love the dwarf. And of course quite a few nerdy americans do too, so you could cop quite a bit of flak around here
Just don't fly it too close to your head?
Antimatter :)
