Ever known a 15 year-old with skin like that without makeup? Those shots were seriously posed. Why would some VB kiddies pay for a photographer and a makeover?
Perhaps the pictures were designed to give you the creeps? "Evil creepy hacker kids! Give 'em the chair!
It could be worse. Have your wife testify about the small amount of.. evidence, and still not win. Like this guy in Iowa. (Did they have a police line-up??)
Running "barra punto" through Google's translation tools gives "it sweeps point". Running "slash dot" into Spanish "punto del barra" and back is "point of the bar". Whee, what fun!
They were going to put it in a winged toaster case, but the lawyers from Berkeley/After Dark warned them that they'd slap them with a trademark suit, and changing it to a toaster with a propeller just wasn't going to work. (Just kidding.)
It's not so much the functionality as the smoothed edges on how to do them that the author likes. That's tricky. You can lose either way: either you clone another GUI and get called copycats or you can make it different and even better, but piss off people who are used to the other GUI. (They might not even know why they grit their teeth every time they use a file selector.)
I read the story title as being about Nice little parks for gnomes. What a wonderful idea!
That could be dangerous. You might get photos of SigOther getting married to someone else, or pictures of people who look like they might be related to you, but can't be by law.
Sibling poster thought they were dead. They're probably undead--everything else shut down with only enough money to keep the lawyers running. Here's the people to watch:
In June, 2002, Patriot announced that it has received a $1 million investment from a group of investors led by Lincoln Ventures.
It would be interesting to know if they're working with any other zombied companies. (The first Lincoln Ventures search results are mainly from New Zealand. Doubt it's them unless this idea involves ground water.)

Don wrote *the* book on Microsoft's COM technology
Another one? But I haven't finished Brockschmidt yet!:)
I believe at the time there a few proposals to keep Skylab up which were immediately rejected because the shuttle would be ready. *Everything* in space was mandated to use the shuttle.
Possibly Skylab wouldn't have been useful, possibly yes. But that was a hell of a lot of useful mass and equipment already up in orbit to just let fall without making a decision. There had already been some tricky repairs made. Keeping it running would have been useful experience.
The US space program always seems to be like an old-style TV show. Once the show/mission is over, hit the reality reset button, and start from scratch the next week.
The record for space projects abandoned and allowed to rot or crash and burn is not good.
The last few Apollo missions were quietly turned into expensive scrap.
Viking landers where the budget to listen to them was cut before they stopped sending.
Skylab which was allowed to die while waiting for the shuttle to make it better.
Various of shuttle replacement projects that given a half-hearted try and dropped.
And with the amount of continuous program and budget changes, it's a miracle that the shuttle and ISS ever got off the ground. (The slow morph from Freedom to the ISS and now to this is extremely sickening.)
The cut-backs so that manned Mars exploration and a Moon base can go forward are a joke. After the cut-backs have been done, the new programs will never go forward.
Judging by the amount of damage done to marble and limestone building materials (calcium carbonate) by smog and acid rain, I doubt that the paint will neutralize the nitric acid for long--but that's better than nothing.
Perhaps they'll get an Edgar nomination? Named for Edgar Allan Poe and handed out by the mystery writers. (Whoops, they have the 2004 nominations link on the page and Darl and SCO were left out again!)
After all, what is The Telltale Code but a tale of mystery and imagination?
While documenting the great outdoors is good, the city cores should also be done. I'm willing to do Toronto night spots for expenses. It would be tough bar-crawl^w^w research, but someone has to do it.
Just don't take any photos/GPS of $cientology near Riverside California. That's an "interfering with a religion" crime according to the kangaroo court there. (And leave the Tom Cruise missles at home.)
It's not just IE bugs, it's general policy. MyDoom apparently would put bogus entries in hosts to block access to support sites. Microsoft's solution? Delete hosts! (Scroll down to "RECOVERY (UPDATED):".)
This suggests a more general plan for dealing with any Windows problem.
If your compiler produces different code for i = i + 1; and i++; then it should be shot. And unless you've looked at the output, you have no business wasting time trying to second guess the optimizer.
Sure. While the machine code generated might be the same, there are lots of ways to get there. An assembler might use non-standard mnemonics, or one might be a macro assembler. One might allow structures. (Object oriented assembler is a lot of fun.)

On the other hand beer meetings and other contrived team building efforts are usually another waste of time. (But at least there's beer.)

Don't forget the Mac version of Lightwave which, I believe, shipped with an Amiga tucked in there. :^P

But how will you know who they belong to? The OS should force names like MyFolder0001, MyFolder0002, ...

If you're looking for free books in general, there's always the Baen Books' free library page. (Supports a variety of formats.)

It was really MyDoom.B that submitted the story. That virus was trickier than they thought.

It'll change the print out of anything like currency in a way that we wouldn't be able to see? Yeah, that sounds real useful.
