It has to do with lazy, ignorant "programmers" who don't know how to write well-formed, correct HTML.
I inherited an ASP-only site and in short order made it compliant enough to render and function on all (non-v. 4.x) browsers. In short order, I will rip out all the nested tables and replace them with clean CSS; and recode everything to the XHTML 1.0 spec.
There is no smackdown possible. During an "emergency," the president can suspend any and all of the people's rights (e.g., freedom to travel, to own goods, to be pressed into a work gang, etc.). The last national emergency lasted from 1933-3-9 to 1976-9-14 (Google Public Law 94-412 for more info).
The current "emergency" began in 2001-9-11, with no end in sight. All the Shrub has to do is sign a piece of paper and you get all your property and posessions repoed by Uncle, and you & your family get a one-way ticket to joining a work-gang, clearing shanty-towns along the Potomac for as long as his Shrubness desires!
Playlists are not generated by DJs, but by Program Managers. The PMs generate lists based upon how much the record companies pay.
When you hear some yahoo call into the radio station and request a song that the DJ then cheerfully plays, understand the yahoo's call was recorded and played back only when the song was due in rotation. Add in a little DJ sound byte, and you get:
"Hey, uh, yeah! Could you play more Britney? She rocks!
"You got it, man! Here's more Britney, 'cause KPUK gives you what you want!" (Projectile vomit-inducing "music" starts playing)
You think people like no-talent ass-clowns? The reality is her record company might've paid CCU a couple-three million cash, provided a car or whatever for a contest give-away, and maybe shipped in a cadre of cheap Mexican whores and blow for the Mayeses.
Get you to Sam's and get the case of Ramen: US$0.04/each. That's $0.12/day (just make sure you splurge once a week and get a lemon to prevent scurvy).
As for getting the money for rent: you'd be suprised what a bounty the human body can provide! Why, selling your blood, hair and teeth alone should supply you with the necessary funds. If you have a woman, you can milk her and sell the milk, or make cheese and peddle that at the local farmer's market.
...when I got my latest employment contract. In a nutshell, here in Texas, companies can sue you to their little hearts' content, but they can't collect anything other than your personal portfolio.
Companies put in non-competes all the time, but they're unenforcable. The best they can do is scare off other pimps from repping you, but real corporations (that each pimp would sell his mother to be able to place bodies there) can tell the little pimps to slag off or forget about ever placing anyone there.
So, no matter what you sign in TX (or any other right to work state), you are able to work whereever you want. That doesn't mean they can't drop a 'suit own you to make your life a living hell, but they'd probably only do in extreme cases. They know they couldn't win if it ever went to trial, so they're betting you'll fold like the spineless wimp you are.
, as each one has a unique serial number encoded into its output. When you're ready to log in, plug in your:Cat, and use it to scan that barcode that only you know is the right one.
Even if some one steals your:Cat, they can't get in, and if someone steals your copy of "Learning the VI Editor" that you've used for the barcode without stealing your:Cat, again they can't get in.
When I was on-line, I wanted to be in meat-space, when I was there all I could think of was getting back into the net.

Charging Katie Jones with "having an agenda" in this place was like handing out speeding tickets in the Indy 500. I took the mission. What the hell else was I gonna do?

You know, one time we had a site DoSed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I ssh'd in. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' DNS record. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, from the TSU. Smelled like... victory.
USA PATRIOT ACT, section 214-216 means that the boys in the black sedans don't even need to prove jack in order to tap your arse--all that is required is signoff from a govt. attourney. Oh, and you are prohibited from finding out if they've tapped you (unlike in the olden days) until they haul your yellow self off to one of their reeducation centres.
Hope you feel safe, 'cause if you gave up all those rights for... whatever it was you got, then you just got angloed down, mi amigo.
>Computers are ubiquitous enough that people automatically learn how to touch-type anyway.
Spoken like someone who sounds like he did a little "home schooling" for his typing. How many words can you type a minute? Don't give us that "I don't play that game" biz; you are throwing it out as if your way is better than the snobs who learned the "formal," no-left-thumb-using, home-row-resting, no-look method.
Yes, you can learn on your own, but some techniques (usually the ones you learn in school) are much faster. There is a reason why the home-row is taught as the starting place.
A local (chain) music store used to allow customers to preview any
CD at their listening stations. Their prices were generally
higher, but I would go there first when looking for new
music.
If the price was reasonable, or if no other stores in the
area carried the item I was interested in (like a special German
import), then I'd buy it.
Sadly, the store stopped allowing
previews and shortly thereafter closed for good. Coincidence?
Probably not, but when they sh~t-canned the previewing I stopped
going there---and I suspect so did many other folks.
They used bicycles to build a fully flight capable aircraft.
Seeing as how bicycles are/were made from metal tubing, and the Wright Flyer was made entirely from wood, canvas and wire cables, please explain how the "fully flight capable aircraft" was built.
So what exactly differentiates a so-called fully flight capable aircraft from other aircraft?

Traders trade all day fucking long, short, long, wide, deep - big dollar amounts, and lots of little trades.
Right. Buy- and Sell-side traders are in an entirely different class than Joe Penny. They are moving tens of thousands of shares at a time, whereas Joe is lucky if he can buy 300 shares of EAT.
The code refresh went as well as could be expected... which is to say that there was some twists, turns, and a whole lotta bad aftermath, but that's par for the course.

I'm not saying anything new, but I wish Taco and VA all the success in the world, because if this show ever comes to an end and he is forced to play developer in the real world (where uptime matters), then he will find out PDQ what happens to coders who develop direct to Production and then shrug, "Par for the course, Chief!" when the prod systems go down in flames.
Unless I completely missed something, how do the
terrorists win when the government wants to make sure you AREN'T
getting killed in the middle of a public street?
You did miss something. Cameras will not prevent
you from getting killed in the middle of the street. Instead, they
set up an environment where even the tiniest crime can be
prosecuted. Miss the trashcan when tossing a wrapper? That's a
$200 fine, and you can bet your boots you'll get caught every
time. Walk outside the lines on a crosswalk? You'll owe the city
another $50; we'll make it easy and simply deduct it from your
bank account.
As another poster indicated, these stupid "non-jailable"
misdemeanors are simply for one thing: municipal revenue
generators. You can't publicly denounce them because, hey, you
don't want to allow "criminals" to run free and get away with
breaking the "law," do you? Only an idiot---or a criminal---would
defend "criminals."
When you allow the state to have ultimate
collection power, they will use it, as they do now. Don't believe
me? Take a day and sit in on traffic court. Out of the few hundred
people there, you won't find ONE person who wins his or her
case, except for those where the officer doesn't show up. If the
officer shows, the person loses. Every time. Oh, and despite all
the "criminals" getting tickets, 40,000 people still manage to die
each year from vehicle accidents. How is this preventing you from getting "killed in the middle of a public street"?

That is the point of the courts: they rule upon the law, defining, shaping, and setting the applicability
Yes, it takes some getting used to, but leave it there for a week and see if you don't like it better.
One can pick up an ample supply of logs at Gitmo Bay, Abu Ghraib, or one of the many other CIA containment centres.
Most of the logs are quite sturdy and stand up to hours or even days of abuse.
The speed limits have nothing to do with safety and everything to do with municipal revenue. Google "85th percentile" if you want to learn more.
