I use vim. But you know, I have respect for emacs users too. How could anyone crazy enough to use emacs ever be productive at any other endeavor? I mean, emacs usage and mouth breathing are really the extent of their capabilities.
The worst ones are the frames (some javascript artifact?) that pop up and follow your cursor, hiding the content underneath. Adblock and flashblock just don't work on those things.
Try NoScript (noscript.net). It is a bit of a hassle until your trusted sites are added, but it sure saves a lot of trouble in the long run.
If I'm creeping around corners, heart beating out of my chest, completely on edge, then putting up a big picture of Rosie O'Donnell would make the game truly frightening.
Wouldn't you rather have someone writing stuff that can be corrected by anyone than have a publisher infiltrated and subsequently print untrue (yet unchangeable) information?
Of course, through ignorance or apathy or downright malevolence, any source produces at least some erroneous information anyway...
The interfaces are important to me. How well are they designed? Is the implementation clean yet expressive enough to expose all the necessary functionality?
Underneath, you can connect to the OS-dependent -- and often hideous -- code. What you provide as an API is what's important: the interface. Compare, for example, Be's API and the Windows API or X.
Of course, maintainability for what's underneath that interface is another issue altogether. I've had managers say, "Don't reinvent the wheel!" To which I want to reply, "Well, if you'd managed this properly before I got here, the wheels wouldn't be fucking square and I wouldn't have to reinvent them..."
This is purely political. It sounds like someone who didn't like the outcome of the 2000 election wants to make a statement. I wonder if the representatives of this group are elected or directly appointed. If they are appointed by the governments that don't currently support US policies (Germany, France, etc.), the reasoning becomes much clearer.
What purpose other than embarassment can there possibly be? I know, for example, Germany would be (rightfully) embarrassed if the British sent election officials to ensure the Germans' process was clean.
I don't understand how this will solve all the problems the original posters say it will solve. I was just responding to another poster's questions about Dijkstra's algorithm.
The point of the NP complete is that you visit *every* other point. That is, what is the minimal path that a travelling salesman would take if he wanted to visit each city exactly once?
Dijkstra solves the shortest path problem, something entirely different.
I can spend $30 to get a Linux distro. (I bought SuSE 7.0 Pro for damn near $70 - what a crock!) Then I'd go to FTP sites here and there to pick up the latest versions of everything. Say I spend an hour installing it, and spend 3 hours tracking dependencies down so I can install the latest drivers/XFree86/etc.
$30 + $25/hour * 4 hours = $130.
(I can also get download the CD image, in 10 minutes; I can subtract, say, $25 from the original purchase, but I'm still at $105.)
Or, I could go get the latest OS from your favorite vender (Be/MS/etc) for less and update all of it from just a handful of sources (nvidia.com, soundblaster.com, microsoft.com, and/or be.com).
All in all, the price ratio seems pretty even to me.
It simply says that the FL Supreme Court acted illegally by trying to usurp power delegated to the FL legislature. The FSC is there to enforce state laws, and the USSC is saying that they a) misinterpreted the law or b) didn't care about the law. Either way, they acted unlawfully and the USSC is saying so.
(Do try to read up on what actually happened before saying something incendiary.)
If you hold down the Ctrl-Alt-Shift keys when you click on the Be menu, you get a choice of changing your layout. You can have your windows look like BeOS (obviously), Windows98, MacOS, or, surprise, AmigaOS. I suspect that this person hacked it a little and coughed up some screenshots that didn't look like BeOS.

Is he going to solve this with COBOL or skip logic, or maybe a holodeck?
Just curious.
+1 internets for anyone who knows what I'm talking about...

WoW does support OpenGL. It runs on my Mac just fine.
I would kill (undead rogues, I hate those guys) for a port of the original SC and WoW to Linux. I don't understand why this hasn't already happened.
Yes, take it seriously. The URL has "astrology" in it. Definitely take it seriously.

See?! I get to skip to:
4) profit...
He's talking Baghdad and Detroit. You're talking Iraq and Detroit. Seems like you're off a little. Mentally.
I like Leo's stuff, but Security Now spends way too much time hawking SG's Spinrite. Too much ego...
Nothing important.
Wait... What?
I'm sure if you've installed antivirus software and deployed the system, zero-day exploits won't work. Only an idiot would let... Oh, wait!
For the sake of the downtrodden in your organization, I sure hope you don't block job sites. I mean, every dictator has to dangle a carrot...
That's why he joined the AF and not the Army -- the AF guys can't shoot.
Well, they can shoot pool, maybe...
(I'm ex-AF BTW. Pow pow.)
I read a bit on that homepage. That's a really cool project.
Now if they can implement paging to cassette, I'd be all in!
It can do what it's designed to do: self-edit.

Pass on the lessons you learned, related to your specific job or otherwise...
And (most) people can sympathize with another living creature that feels pain.
It's not ironic that the person saying this is the sheriff from Dukes of Hazzard... :) ...

Not unless you want to do some sort of broadcast.

Hmm. The way I see it, my time is valuable too.
Let's say my average rate is $25 an hour.
I can spend $30 to get a Linux distro. (I bought SuSE 7.0 Pro for damn near $70 - what a crock!) Then I'd go to FTP sites here and there to pick up the latest versions of everything. Say I spend an hour installing it, and spend 3 hours tracking dependencies down so I can install the latest drivers/XFree86/etc.
