Am I going to install SP2 on my Windows system? Absolutely. Am I going to get it from Microsoft? Absolutely not. Within days of release of SP2, there will, of course, be pirated releases of Windows with SP1 and SP2 rolled in. I have an XP license, but I honestly prefer to keep it sitting around to ease my guilt while I download the OS anew. Say what you will ethically, but wiping my system and installing one of those, I've consistently had a more stable system.
Well, for one thing, a lot of the cheap phone cards have a high first minute access fee. So, while that card is two cents per minutes, you pay 50 cents up front for a call, and whoops, there's 25 minutes worth of charge right off the bat.
While it was a product, lots of human languages have similar differences from English. I suspect the difference was just that Yoda never quite mastered language patterns (who's gonna tell the guy with the Light Saber he screwed up?) while the KOTOR character was better versed, possibly due to the superior education system that existed pre-decadance.
Insightful my ass. They very much care about money. Their theory is that if they can reduce file trading, they will increase CD sales, which means more money.
Any large boat? No, too vague, admittedly. Given the Biblical dimensions, and the accepted understanding for the approximate size of a cubit, we're looking for something about 450 feet long and 75 feet wide.
On the off chance that it's found, anything that big that got stuck on a mountain didn't get put there by the Underpants Gnomes.
Isn't that what Lindows is claiming against MS in the injunction it's seeking? That we already told MS to lay off the trademark issue here, so they shouldn't be allowed to pursue the issue in Europe?
I just want to make sure that everyone (and I'm accusing no invidivual) stops and makes sure that they are applying that standard equally.
IIRC, the reason that it was legal to make 2600 knock-offs was that the 2600 used entirely off-the-shelf parts. You could open up the 2600, look at it, say, "oh, it has parts A, B, and C", and then buy those things from Radio Shack (back when it didn't suck) and build your own.
No such possibility exists with the GBA without finding some way to legally reverse engineer the roms.
Ah, but this is the difference between informative and insightful. It's informative in that he's pointing out the nature of the filing. It's not insightful at all, however, in that's he's clueless about what it means.
Given that many of these are education-oriented, they won't care so much about stability in late summer. Right now, during what for them is conference season and last-minute membership drives, yes, it's important.
As to the quip about college students, the business was started when the owner was in high school. It's nearly fifteen years old now. Many of our team members are culled from the ranks of our clients' memberships as they move from high school into college.
Regrettibly, I find myself and my people in the crosshairs of your anger (no criticism on the.asp, please -- it's not my site build.)
Will it influence what we do in future decisions, if we need to expand our server ops? Yes. Will we pick up tomorrow and move on? No. We have dozens of websites (not a lot, but given who they are, we have some measure of pride) who are in the middle of the most important periods of their calendar year. It would be suicidal to say to them, "Hi, you may see some issues over the next couple of days as we change providers; sorry if this impacts you right in the middle of your online conference registration and your members can't access your site."
Also, don't suggest we figure take the extra time to make the transition smooth for our clients -- many of us are still students ourselves; I'm in my last semster of an education degree and typing this from the "big honkin' desk" at my student teaching post right now. I barely have time to keep my shoes tied -- hell, I switched back to velcro just to be safe!
For those who have the resources, be it in time, manpower, or money, to leave EV1 on your timetable, good for them. For the rest of us, please show some patience. Not everyone who is staying is happy about this, but unless you're volunteering your personal time to help out EV1 clients who want to leave, what you're asking is unfair and unreasonable.
When I was a kid and heard about this type of logic, I assumed it would have to be done magnetically instead of electronically, such that you would represent three states by "positive", "negative", and "no charge". I had no idea how that would fly given magnets and computers, but it was something to think about.

And NOW working? Uh, no, text time you visit your neighborhood licensed teacher, ask her how much it set her back.

Crap, I'm such a geek. Someone shoot me.
Heh. "Laura, Mommy, Daddy? There should be at least four votes for me in Texas, right?"
Scenario A: School board blows $20m of federal funds on a project that could have been done in $1m. Constituents cheer them for bringing home pork.
Scenario B: School board blows $20m of local taxes on a project that could have been done in $1m. Constituents throw them out in November.
Big difference.
Given that I waited a year and paid half as much, me.
How true. It also reenforces the notion that doing it in the back of a car with a skanky ho is good for your health.

Been there, done that (though you might have to pirate it these days)
My friend, let me introduce you to Zapp's Crunchy Crawtators. Experience the flavor and aroma of a live crawfish boil -- from within your potato chip.
But once you "get" them to do it with cameras rolling, isn't it authorized at that point? The person is acting as an agent of the cartel, yes?
This is not a troll, just an honest observation:

So that's why they found water there?

Wow! You've been to a Lakers game?

In Soviet Russia, computer crashes YOU!

Impossible. You can't see her desk top when she's lying on it.
