Could be worse, I not only thought of off topic when i saw OT.. I also keep thinking "Anonymous Coward" when I see the AC for the Alan Cox Linux kernel.
I know this may come as a shocker, but Joel may not necessary be right all the time. But I have followed some of his work for a few years, and he defiently is qualified to say the things he says. So don't blow him off.
You sure about that? there is also a Patrick Bateman on Kuro5hin.

Unless you subscribed to a magazine that was really grainy black and white, that listed about 10,000 program descriptions... you put a check by the ones you liked.. than filled out a small form and paid about $1 for each 5.25 media floppy to have it mailed to your house to operate on your Pc Jr... You don't know crap about shareware;)
The internet defeats the purpose of shareware. Back in the day shareware was distributed by one person sharing his collection of shareware floppies with another friend. If someone liked the program, they could mail a check to the author.
The only limitation ever put on shareware back then was like... a game that had maybe 1 episode. You could mail money to the author and get 10 extra episodes.
When ever you posted that, it was at the bottom of the list of comments. And further down then that is the little box that has a random quote/statement.. and funny enough... when i was reading your post it said..
ACK! This is worse than I thought. Slashdot having more ads is one thing.. but ads from doubleclick?
I don't know if anyone realises, but it isn't like you just put doubleclick ads on your site and make money. You submit personal information to doubleclick about your users and you get MORE money.
Don't believe me? Vista altavista.com someday and do a search.. lets say I do a search for... "doubleclick sucks". On that page it will say, "
This is just ONE example, but on Altavista they submit what you search to doubleclick (which already tries to track who you are.).
So what, no doubleclick can spy on my browsing habbits, get personal information me, AND compare what I say on an online message board. This is fucked up, thank god I block ALL doubleclick sites from my junkbuster config.
It has all sorts of useful utilities for seperating IE from the main OS. And ways to stop bugs from crashing and shutting down your OS from remote internet attacks.
PHP is what it always has been, a really great SCRIPTING language.
Would I write an accounting package in it? No.... but for quick and dirty gui and web based apps it is great. I even find myself using the php cgi binary to run unix scripts in cron tabs and such.:)
But to use a scripting language to create a really huge app, or to use a really involved programming language to do a really quick and dirty app are both futile and why we have more than one type of language out there.
In other words, PHP is AWESOME, but like anything it is just another tool in the coders tool belt. Once PHP 4.2 hits, it will be pretty much perfected for what it is.
My comment was actually there, I don't see anything in the DOJ response that responded in any shape or form to my comment. All they appear to be concerened with is a few minor things that will never make a difference.
You see they believe Microsoft legally obtained its monopoly on its operating system. All the DOJ wants to do is prevent Microsoft from being able to crush middleware providers in the future, but they are not going to do anything to benefit middleware providers who actually have been hurt thus far.
You comment would of not made a difference.:/ Just read the stupid STUPID responce from the DOJ. All you have to do is look at the meta tags on the webpages at the DOJ to understand.....
I think everyone who submitted a comment wasted their time, Microsoft is still gonna get off the hook... and in 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, etc years we will still have m$ forced down our throats.
Sure! ANY type of smoking has the same effect on the penis that it does on the heart, it damages blood vessels messing up blood flow.
The penis is like a rubber band that you stretch, the blood vessels in this penis are much smaller than those in the heart, so you end up with a structure that no longer stretches.
It isn't like you can smoke one joint with weed, or one cigarette and suddenly your penis is smaller.. but over time these things make a difference.
Heh, this is the last time I reply to an AC.. but the slant I was refering to was the build up of homes in the northwest and southeast part which was keeping the city from correctly depicted by X/Y dimensions.
But the reason it takes soo long to get anywhere isn't so much the speed limits, it is the stop lights.. stop signs, stupid driviers, stupid people on bikes, stupid people walking around, streets that confuse people so they have to stop and figure out what they are doing...
Second, the shop I worked at was not Earls..I said the name, "Norman Floral and Gift Gallery.". It was sold to some ladies who ran the place out of business. This was just 4 years ago. If anyone received flowers from the long hair hippy dude driving the big floral and gift gallery van... that was me:)
Norman north was built for the specific purpose so rich people could send their kids to a school without poor people. I remember when it was built looking at the dividing line between who went to Norman North and who didn't. Pretty corrupt stuff. Of course, this is why all new schools are built anymore so Norman North is no exception.
But ever so, if you read my other posts, you would see the only reason I haven't moved away from Oklahoma is because I am defiently too lazy.
Moving costs, having to find a new job, getting new family and friends.. yawn. It is just more fun to try and improve where I live. Which I try to do, right now I am involved in a movement to BOOT OUT those stupid people that keep whoring themselves out to big corporations.
The brick town Stadium cost us 88 MILLION taxpayer dollars to make in downtown OKC. It only cost Cox communications 1.5 million to purchase the naming rights.
Similar deals went with the ballpark, myriad, etc. Tax payer dollars paid for it all, yet stupid corporations got the naming rights for dirt cheap. I mean, if SW Bell wanted a ball park, they should of PAID for one.

Sounds pretty evil. I bet he worked for Microsoft, and they let him work on it just to screw us later. muhahahahaa.
I know this may come as a shocker, but Joel may not necessary be right all the time. But I have followed some of his work for a few years, and he defiently is qualified to say the things he says. So don't blow him off.
Not to mention I could buy HUNDREDS of shareware applications for the price of 300 baud modem for the PC Jr.
You sure about that? there is also a Patrick Bateman on Kuro5hin.

Because those versions were recent when they started working on this.
Porting a kernel takes awhile, they probably fixed a lot of bugs on the way. (And this has been out in Japan forever).
RTFA, it says "Linux (for PlayStation 2) is aimed mainly at the hobbyist home computer enthusiast."
But if I am going to need the hard drive/keyboard/broadband adaptor to play Final Fantasy XI.. I might as well get it now :)
I just hope these will work with FFXI or I will be pissed.

I didn't even notice it, junkbuster already had the settings in it to block it. I didn't even have to reconfig anything. :)
aww! go home crying and tell your mommy :)
You can get a good update, that will fix xp to work up to the states expectitation at...

I'm sure it is nice, I just can't find a floppy drive to boot it off of.
I don't see how that is insightful, moron.
Even if you but 100 audio CDs, and distribute them for free to your friends.. that is STILL LEGAL.
There is a tax on audio format CDs that takes into consideration this very thing. The "tax" pays for copyrighted songs you would be pirating.
Does any of that "tax" go back to artist? No.
I'll say it right now, they made all their money in shady ways. They are corrupt, the owner sleeps with a sheep, and their dog has 3 testicals.
My name is Bill Gates in case you were wanting to sue me. I live in Washington somewhere.. look me up in the phone book.
Actually, he/she isn't the only one.
thanks.
Don't worry about it...

Hehe, I have a friend who quit his ASP job at www.rileyelectriclog.com and started selling tuxedos for ascot tuxedos because it paid more money. :)

Which is really unfortuante considering...
pot shrinks your penis size, so when you end up in prison for 98 years... you will end up as someones girlfriend.

Why doesn't Texas fall into the Gulf of Mexico? Because the Gulf of Mexico would not be able to afford the property tax.
