I'm aka "fat lightning" because I'm fat and I was struck by lightning as a kid. Or "Fat Blitzen" because it's more mellifluous and I can't remember fat in german . . .
I think a lot of nicknames are throwbacks to the old-school. Whatever old-school it is, the classics are the best. Saint Louis Blues was the best variety show ever for instance. I think a lot of people also want to be able to explain their names as pick-up lines for chicks/dudes.
Currently Northern VA is in a fight with Southern VA over funds for roads, which are needed to deal with the huge suburban growth we've had lately, so hey however we get the money is good as far as I'm concerned. The only downside is ads which emulate guis and the like which tend to be accidentally clicked on by older surfers, which could became a sizable problem with older people making up a larger proportion of the people who view government web sites. But as long as they are clearly marked, props to the greatest county on Earth.
The guys who made that game were just totally ingenious when it came to sounds. Who in their right minds would think that blowing air out of a hose into a toilet would be a cool sound effect? People should make their own sounds, it can be a lot more rewarding and fun.
A friend at work does all his backbone programming in C++ and then writes applets that call it somehow. Only problem is a lot of people have their browser permissions too high to let this happen. He can do this because he knows all of our clients, and we and the clients are all extremely security aware (Nobody's dumb enough to browse outside applets with permissions set so low).
Good call, I was enlightened to a huge number of reasons to continue text-mode by a whole bunch of people. My bad. (Of course that is by far the best reason I've heard.
Why would Corel port the entire WP 5.1 code over, when the could just map the origional key-stroke functions over to the GUI version. I don't know if they actually did that, but it would make sense to think they would have either mapped the f-keys, or just not bothered doing anything too labor intensive for all those people who still want the functionality of 5.1 . If you think about it why go to the extra effort of porting it when it isn't necesary (like running the GUI is the worst thing ever). If anyone cares too much, they should just remake it from scratch on sourceforge. Call it WordCloseToPerfect.
If BeOS went GPL, wouldn't that cripple their ability to profit off of the embedded market, which they seemed to be aiming at in that last article about their demo system meant for home use?
Somebody should think of something else to call these things. It won't seem as foreboding to say "my company's starting to use happy-fun-good-worker rooms" instead of "war rooms".
Well here at your friendly neighborhood mega-coporation the programmers all laugh at the marketers who threaten to quit, saying we'll be screwed without them. We keep laughing, but they're probably right. Actually that's not a solution at all. I'd say, take a low level computing class, and ask proggers to briefly explain the stuff they write to you. Understanding your product just a little better will do wonders for everyone. I've worked with people who understand less about their products than the people who buy them.
If everybody alternated weeks between using google and using a site which pays google (Washington Post) to search, their revenue would probably get a considerable bump. Sure its probably an image heavy way to help, but it's a good way nonetheless.
Buy an old car with shabby wiring. Build an electric guitar. That's how Les Paul learned. Yes, it's not integrated circuits electronics, but it's useful in non-geek life too.
I never meant unfair. I meant stupid. I don't develop film either, now that digital cameras are available. And when developing film the reason to pay would be that most people don't have darkrooms at home and don't want to. But if I have a printer, MS can't produce a much better picture from a file with a set resolution. Sure the color might be better, and it might be glossy which is nifty, and I might pay for that (the glossiness and vibrant color) as MS would then be the easiest channel available to me to get that extra quality that, but if I have a decent printer which can print good color on glossy paper it's stupid. Providing a service and charging for it isn't unreasonable, but if I don't need it it is stupid. Like paying for Windows when Linux is available.
I still boot up and dial-in to my friends private server every week. This is sweet. I hope it doesn't get spoiled by graphics or any of those other unnecesary things. All a real gamer needs is a good imagination.
Microsoft argues the service is intended to help people reprint images they own, such as photographs of their relatives from online family albums.
Why would they charge people for something they already own anyways??? If I "own" a picture, I don't need MS to print it. Sounds like a scam targeted at old people who might just want a picture of their grandson, but don't know any better. Alright MS!
Another good solution would be to change the name of his software until this wacky site goes under. Shouldn't be more than two years, then they'd probably be glad to unload the trademark for a discount.

if he wasn't lazy comment-wise, javadoc does much of what you want fine.

Robots already are infinitely flexible between whatever their two extreme flexpoints are. :)

Of course, if they screw up and totally obliterate the comet, it'll still be cool. We'd just be the last generation to see this thing ever again.
A lot of TV's now come with svga input. It just might work in color too.

But you can copywrite it no? Or do I merely imagine the file called "The Microsoft Sound(tm).wav" exists?

Could I have port 15 please? Yes, I'd like mozilla 0.6 source please.
Alrighty here you go, #include

It obviously doesn't do a good job of matching anything though, considering what they're granting.
