Aren't there a lot of places where only a P.Eng can legally call themselves an engineer? (Memebership in the local professional engineering society, worked under another P.Eng for n months, a degree.) Frequently my job title has been "software engineer", but I'm never very happy about that. And someone with a CrackerJack prize certification calling themselves an "engineer" makes me even less happy.

There's some good stuff in those EULAs. There's usually one about not being used in the development/production of chemical, nuclear or biological weapons (unless by nice countries).
Saddam: Damn! I can't send email to my generals because it would violate the licence agreement! Damn you Microsoft to hell!
Of course, most of the uranium resources were provided from Canada (Blame Canada).
There might have been a third A-bomb lost in the sinking of the cruiser Indianapolis, 29th July 1945. Masanori Ito admits that he is speculating in The End of the Imperial Japanese Navy but there seem to be some irregularities involved.
over Xmas I reread the Simillarion. I can't see tieing together the various tales in that book into a coherent set of movies. There's some good stuff that could be expanded, but that would take "creative writing", and I'm not sure that I'd like to see that done, even if it had the blessing of Christopher Tolkien. (Almost a week without computers or Internet, not even any spam, yaaargh! Today I start on the telephone/voice interface to email, never again! Injury a buttocks culture of voice recognition software!)
A lot of people on Slashdot seemed to think that Alan Ralsky (the spammer) needed more things. A nomination might be nice too. Another conviction, better!
I was kidding. Using the Silmarillion for movies would take some.. adaptive writing. LOTR was hard enough to bring to the screen without butchering the story.
Outlook does a whole bunch of things, and none of them very well. The only nice thing about it is the COM automation inferface.
My main gripe with it and OE is that there is no way to get at newsgroups from the automation. If they did, my sock puppet finder program wouldn't have to do a seperate newsgroup pull. (Builds a db of IP address, newsreaders, etc.) If anyone knows of a newsgroup reader that exposes an automation interface, I'd probably switch in a heartbeat.
Has.NET even left the starting gate in all seriousness?
Maybe, maybe not, but all the headhunter/HR buzzword flacks seem to want 2 years experience and a completed project in it. (Waste of time explaining to them that it's only been out of beta for a year.)
I guess after the dot.bombing, we should have expected the companies with high cash reserves to go on a buying spree -- It'll never be cheaper to buy up key companies. Low stock prices combined with investors with high tech profolios that have tanked mean that it's bargains galore.
The good companies whose stock got dragged down with the dot.com trash are now perhaps undervalued and a good deal.

How else are they going to keep their sanity? QuirkObjection! This statement makes a very large assumption. :^)

The damned thing tries to access the Internet when I play a local wav file. *Splat* against the firewall.

Almost a haiku, but not a very happy one.
Ever tried to kick out a sawdust fire? Woohoo, you only make that mistake once! (Your life or your eyebrows, pick at least one.)
From the Congo during WWII? Well that's an interesting theory. As for afterwards, where was all the output from Uranium City going?

1944? Get out of here! (One way or another.)

I guess the RIAA is going to win the intermural Evil Cup from the MPAA this year. Talk about a tough match!

Due to the success of LOTR, by 2010 they'll probably have shot the second trilogy. :^)
Just install Windows 2010.
If it's R/W, then it could be used to buffer all the incomming spam. (Might need a RAID cluster by 2010.)
It might hold a lot of data, but how fast will it be on read/write? I want to know what its MPAA speed rating will be! (It's what, 32x = 1 MPAA?)
"Where do you want to buzz off to today?"
Oops, right. I'm too used to MS software requiring a reboot when you change screen colours (exaggeration).
At least we'll get a new Java runtime for Robocode. :^)
At a guess, Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Microsft VM and uncheck Java Console Enabled. Reboot.
Microsoft announced plans that it was halting C# and .NET development. "Oh well, never mind" said Steve Balmer.
Or with a short redirection time so that you really have to ram the back button to get off of their site.
