Anonymous twit Coward, obviously Slashdotters will weigh in on this important issue, into which we have much insight. Why not just submit "First P0st!" like any other useless moron, rather than inhibit people who might be intimidated by your empty mockery?
Gee, you might want to get that chip on your shoulder checked out by a professional.
We're getting there. Trillian has an RSS reader plugin. Admittedly, it's not as easy as right clicking on an article and sending it to a contact (or many contacts), you have to right click select copy, then right click and paste...but considering you can't mass message people on your contact list yet in any IM that I know of, this comes as no surprise.
I can't remember if being gunner in a tank gave me 20 seconds or 4 hours, but either way wasn't much better for me either.
Just as glad to have served and cleared.
You seem to imply that there is nothing of use in AIX, which I find highly suspect. If AIX didn't have anything unique/worthwhile in it, you can be pretty sure that all the AIX systems would have been switched for Linux by now.
I have no doubt plenty would be interested if AIX was opened up.
I used JBuilder for a long time, I also used its Oracle basterdised son JDeveloper, but the day I switched to IntelliJ IDEA will stick in my mind for a long long time. What a difference. Unless you are doing solely GUI stuff (and after IDEA 4 comes out even that wont be an excuse) IntelliJ IDEA has definitely got to be the hands down nicest Java IDE.
He's right. I did hearing tests in a deprivation chamber once and the noises I heard my own body generate were enough to distract me from the task at hand.
Kent Brockman: "Professor, without knowing precisely what the danger is, would you say it's time for our viewers to crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside?"
Is this because of a general lack of respect for those in the military and the refusal to acknowledge that anyone allowed to fly a fighter jet is a highly trained and very disciplined individual or was it just mindless sarcasm?
As for your so called 'highly trained and very disciplined' individuals, between 1984 and 1994 the U.S. military crashed 1,523 aircraft. Just to put that in perspective, that's enough crashes to wipe out the combined British and Canadian airforce three times over! The US may have a slightly better record these days, but you can't blame the original poster for being a bit skeptical.
P.S. I personally knew Cpl Ainsworth Dyer, one of the four soldiers killed. If Major Schmidt had been a bit more disciplined, Dyer would most likely still be alive today.
Starting first with my brother and I, and eventually all our neighbourhood friends, we would build vehicles out of lego with the sole purpose of them being rammed into each other as fast as we could whip them on our basement floors. Whoever's car survived the head to head collision without falling apart won. With time we added a 'competition' level where the winner got to take any pieces that fell off his competitor's vehicle.
Our only rules were that the front wheels could not extend beyond the front of the vehicle, or be used as a bumper, and that a driver must be included in each vehicle, be able to see the road, and not be ejected from the vehicle.
We designed all types of vehicles, ones with dense walls, ones that ran low and had ramps, ones with horizontal 'loose' pillars running through that would put the stress on the back of the vehicle (ideally the rear wheels or a rubber wheel at the center of the rear axis) while applying focused pressure on the oponent's vehicle. In retrospect it was a lot like those 'battlebot' tv shows you see these days, minus the remote controls and goofy aparatus.
Much more fun than any dinky car ever proved to be. Good times.

there isn't really a performance hit (a good compiler will preevaluate
You're right. I spend too much time doing JavaScript on the side, where there isn't any precompile. Thanks for pointing that out.
You mean * 1000 right? Personally I'd just put
to cut down on the calculations.
Did Jesus extend God, or did he just implement a Goldlike interface?
Crap, I meant Godlike interface. I guess that's why I'm not a comedian.

Syndication over IM is far more interesting.

Why would you want to install Linux instead of OS X on a mac?
Hrm, how about in the case of my G3 iBook it's less resource hungry, faster, and /far/ more stable?
Now that's insightful!
the popularity and fanaticism of family guy on the web contributed to it getting put back on the air.
Mmmm...counting chickens before they are hatched.

oh man mod this guy up!
Call it beating a dead horse if you like, but if horse beating is what people want, you'd be crazy not to do it, marketing or no.
I gave back my assigned mod points just to say what a great quote that is.
Would anyone really care if AIX were Open Source?

You win!
err...I win!

Professor : "Yes I would, Kent."
I certainly learned something. Thanks!

How about: none of the above.

Maybe that's why I've always known it as 'gun tape'.
