Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems. --Jamie Zawinski, in comp.lang.emacs
I admit, I was just short of panic at the situation. Trying brakes on a briskly moving car?
The throttle came apart at about 60 mph, and it was less than 10 seconds to going balls-out. Trying the breaks sounds like a 'regular expression solution'--then I'd have had two problems.:)
Reminds me of driving with my mother in a Hyundai Excel. Going down the road, using only a change of the accelerator position: the lawn-mower-esque throttle comes apart. It accelerates to about 90 mph (fortunately, this is a straight country road starting to climb a hill). I'm a little agitated. Mother reminds me that, ultimately, turning the key to off within the ignition will stop any car.
Sort of a three-finger salute[1], if you will.
I wonder if the Novell purchase of SuSe doesn't have something to do with this.
Putting an old, familiar name on a distribution like Novell legitimizes the idea of using a Linux distro much more than reading, say, "polychromatic platypus" on the disks, especially when it all works well with Netware.
Also, with Novell sponsoring Mono, and the threat of OpenOffice, seeing a C# port of MS Office to run on Mono would be an obvious way for Mr. Softy to keep the cash cow spouting the milk of currency.
Recall, Redmond's only ideology is money; they leave the fanaticism to the FSF.
I think you're a genious, Mr. Domingo.
I did catch you in Tokyo with Carreras and Pavarotti a few years ago.
So, you're saying that LSD is better that Greasmonkey for souping up the Washinton National Opera? I'm Leary of this approach...
I've got both McFarlane books, but leveraging Firefox as a cross-platform fat-client platform still seems quite tricky.
Hopefully, Greasemonkey will advance the ball, without becoming the biggest virus vector since <cheap shot goes here>.
In between the sixth and second characters of the second line of your sig. You've really got to read that source code a little more closely, and compile with -WTF next time.
This is the usual technical argument.
Useful in and of itself, but, without the business arguments, it doesn't really explain why the apparently obvious
to begin with
never happened.
Or maybe Windows, the u:ber-virus[1], was simply not hypocritical enough to shun its lesser cousins...
Again, we can split hairs until bald, but the foundation of the whole structure is still the taxpayer.
I fantasize about locking these twits in a room, and telling them they get no soup until the tax code fits on one side of one sheet of paper, in a legible font.
Remember not to vote for me!
REAL ID is expensive. It's an unfunded mandate: the federal government is forcing the states to spend their own money to comply with the act.
This is one of the more interesting surrealities of US public discourse.
It's really, ultimately, taxpayer dollars, right? Or can someone school me on the point, preferrable in an Alan Greenspan mumble?

Yeah, but this was simple rack-and-pinion...

And let's not kid ourselves; it affords a good avenue of attack for the marketing department.

At last! The "WTF Bob?" mystery is solved! Brilliant! Next, Hoffa.
Borland can certainly benefit from free advertising if they do the right thing here.
