Indeed, there have been several versions of the IBM ScrollPoint. I have version two which made the little joystick not a button (you get a seperate middle mouse button). That and the ability to vary scroll rate without pulling a muscle in my index finger (HOW LONG IS THIS STUPID DOC?!?!?!?) make the IBM mouse a top choice. Plus, in vim, I can scroll without pasting inadvertently. The disadvantage (other than not being a optical mouse) is that it's very diffucult to scroll one line.
That would also include anyone who advocates moving a chair using anything other than telekinesis. There's probably more detail in the actual decision that makes this clause a little less retarded.
That, and I don't think the gov't really espouses force as a means of change. They just use it. So he could join a group of revolutionaries in self-denial. "Don't join our cause and fight the power like we are inexplicably doing!"
Yes! The only question is whether they'll make it a part of the standard JRE which would help make java a healthy competitor to shockwave in the world of premium minigames. That and whether we'll be able to put OpenGL contexts in a MFing lightweight component instead of using awt.
That reminds me of a friend named Maurice. Not only did he accidentally kill himself with one of these things, but they couldn't bury him because his corpse wouldn't stop hovering six feet above the ground!
They just didn't anticipate the load. Who would have thought it would be such a popular website?
OR
It's a scheme. If the site is always down, the telemarketers can't possibly check it to know who not to call! That's why they hosted it on a 386 with the a Paradox database.
On my own hydrogen prototype, I already implemented something like this. I've got a flamethrower pointed at the pipes, and I run it while I'm driving in order to turn the leakage into water. Unfortunately, the napalm in my flamethrower has increased my emissions way beyond any savings I get from hydrogen, but the heating system has become very efficient.
Also, might'nt a giant explosion in the atmosphere cause us to lose a sizeable chunk of our air to space? It reminds me of when they freed Taft from a bathtub with a quarter stick of dynamite. He was saved, but had a really nasty bruise which the gov't tried to cover up.
Systems that automatically clean themselves up are a Good Thing (TM)
That's why I use Java! Funny, it doesn't work too well. The API itself still has all sorts of legacy code, not to mention my program's memory leaks. ..
public class Copyright{ public Copyright(){
System.out.println("This work copyrighted by Matt Burke");
System.out.println("All rights reserved");
while(true){
System.sue((new World()).everybody());
try{
Thread.sleep(1000);
catch(Exception e){}
}
System.settleForMillions(); }};
All righty, I'll describe exactly what I do, and what I did with my friend's Palm (which I borrowed for a week while he was out of town. Yes, just a week. No, that probably wasn't enough time to make a decision).
In the notepad, I write down everything I have to do, or random crap I want to remember. I get about 4/5 things a page. When something is done or remembered I cross it off, and when a page is done, I rip it out. With my simple life, I never have more than four active pages, so everything is really really simple to find. Plus, it's slightly less geeky when getting a chick's number;). With all this, I go through one of these about every three or four months.
On the palm, I did the same things, but I used the calendar app. First, my handwriting apparently sucks ass, so I had to use the little keyboard for everything, and second, my memory definitely sucks ass, so for my random things I wanted to remember, the turn-on time was often too slow. In the end, I was more of a problem for the Palm than the Palm was for me.
For class notes, I use a regular notepad, and retype the notes later if I'm having trouble in class. That pretty well cures my crappy memory. Plus I've spent far less in the past four years on my paper products than I would on a Palm.
Bring a pack of Bic pens, and a few notebooks with paper instead of silicon. Personally, I find my 59c wallet-sized notepad more useful than my friend's Palm.
But if you do get a real notebook, try to make sure you get built-in wireless for the school network (or network-to-be). It's a lifesaver during finals when all the jacks in the library are taken.
That's right! They could put the radio station on the web as their alternative to Kazaa! Oh wait, the liscensing fees are "too high" because of the RIAA. Why aren't they too high to run a music service?
The real reason for using consoles is that this cluster has a higher resale value, so when the project is done, they can make some of their money back.
Or the more popular sweet version: Gatorade. Also potassium, though it will stop a beating heart if administered directly, will prevent cramps. Thus eating bannanas prevents cramps.
I'm no HURD user, but isn't HURD far enough along to be used in a deployed system. This wouldn't be a great option, but it wouldn't be a ball-breaker either.
Too bad slashdot let me down by delivering News For Nerds After It Happens. Although if I could build a time machine out of parts in the local junkyard and make it back to April, that would almost guarantee that I'd win something. Plus I'd be able to get around the ten hour time limit!
Computics was overruled because it sounded too much like the future os Unix, and people didn't want to get sued for their domain names.
Programatics was taken by a musical group made up entirely of Stepford children.
Computer Engineering wasn't used because at the time engineers were all people who worked with things like buildings or cars.
Computer Science makes as much sense as metaphysics. Besides, in the begining, these folks were actually creating theories and discovering new ways to do things. And Computer Scientist sounds better than Efficiency Expert on a resume.
. . . that their songs are worth about one tenth of one percent of what they said at first? Or merely that to make a profit, they only need 0.001 times as much money?
I say posting their personal emails all over the place would be a good start. Imagine the irony of accidentally crapflooding yourself.
It'd be hilarious for two weeks until they exclude their own emails in the scripts they use. But then ISPs could red-flag anyone who recieves very low amounts of mail as under suspicion.
These points are biased since I've read the paper since I was middle school and I delivered it for eight of the years since then (tip your paper person please).
1) Things can catch my eye that wouldn't in an online paper. ie articles on the front of a section that I don't usually read or a little column that's hard to find in the online version (this happens a lot with the W.Post). 2) I can discuss the news by talking to people. Plus I get the visceral joy of seeing people. 3) I don't get ink on my hands because I spread the paper out on my kitchen table and use my hands for breakfast. 4) I don't have to click through five pages to read an article. The most I have to do is find a new page once. 5) Cheaper. I have yet to spend as much money on papers as I do on computers yearly. 6) Comics. Yes, they're online, but seeing complete pages full of comics means about 100 times less effort to read them daily. (Counter-point: Web only comics are succesfully returning to the large formats that have been unused in newspapers for the last 70 years) 7) I like going outside to get the paper every morning whether it's raining or not.
All that said, I can't wait for electronic ink to replace the old paper . . . as long as I can still look through the last week or more of articles.

At least he can still join the NRA.

There is no easy way!

Now stop asking.
At least it would mean spammers would have to either leave the US or become easy to trace . . . not that I think it's a reasonable idea by any means.

Yes, it definitely is. Only this time, it's the Capitalists vs. the Communists. Oh wait . . .

What guarantee do I have that Microsoft will not track my visit and sell their records to another company?!
Also, they damn well better filter online porn if they don't want some nasty cleanup jobs.
This time, I'd vote for Al Gore and actually feel good about it.
Or they'll suggest worthwhile changes and make the release product better . . .

I'm sorry but soon programmer will be what teenage kids do, like mc donalds of today.
Yeah, just like when literacy rates go up and everybody starts writing good novels . . .
