Well... those poor web dev shops seem to have enough to outfit everyone with Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and all sorts of other web applications.
If you want to build a house, you have to shell out for hammers, saws, and nails. You don't pay a monthly fee to Black and Decker for every nail you drive with their new CurlHammer 1.0.
If you aren't willing to get the right tools for the job, you're screwed before you start. But to continue to pay for a tool when you don't have to is dumb.
The only reason we monitor what you view is to allow us to charge commercial content providers.
Let me be the first to say "Bite Me."
At the moment, we do not have a good answer for small commercial sites.
At the moment, you don't have an answer at all. You have created a solution looking for a problem. Given the wide spread adoption of Java, COM, VB, ColdFusion, and other "web" tools that are available at no cost, do you realy think you're going to get deep penetration into a a market by charging for what is easily available for free?
"No one wants to buy my rocks! Whatever could be wrong?"
Our intent has always been to obtain revenue from people who are making money off of Curl technology.
Those people are going to continue to make money off their existing technology. Future developers will make money by not assuming an ongoing cost liability in their platform choices.
Our business folks were faced with the interesting problem of how to take this technology and make it into a commercial product. They thought about it for a (very) long time, and this is what they came up with.
Fire them. They are idiots.
Can you think of a better idea?
Absolutely. But I don't work for free, and you already have a staff of professionals that thought about this for a (very) long time.
Driving adoption isn't some new science. If you have staff getting paid to come up with ideas, and this is what they give you, get new staff.
Obviously I'm not a high school student. High school students are all completely identical. They all think that their problems are completely unique, and that there is no one who will understand. Adults (you'll be one one day, if you don't do us all a favor and take the pipe) know just how stupid about the world high school students are.
Whaaa!!! I'm getting picked on! Thats *never* happened to anyone else before! No one understands me!
You were "raised to conform?" So, now it's your momma's fault?
Folks, this here AC is a classic example of why all kids, from all eras, are universaly pathetic.
You never hear about a Reverand's son or a child of a devoutly religious family shooting up a school.
You generaly hear about them shooting up abortion clinics, drowning their kids in the lake, and having afairs (and kids!) with 13 year old Jr High students.
Apparently they are so busy practicing their "wholesome Christian values" that they don't have time to shoot up the schools. If the Supreem Court ever overturns Roe v Wade, I'm sure you'll see them shooting up the Title IX building in the name of God.
If you think the problem is the availability of guns, think about this. The US has had easily available guns for 200 years. In fact, guns are far more difficult to get than they've ever been.
What a total crock of shit. The availability of cheap, mass produced guns is a product of the 20th century. 200 years ago, guns were expensive, inaccurate, hard to load, and slow to fire. The repeating rifle didn't make in into civilian hands until after the civil war, and the semi-automatic handgun wasn't available until the late 1800s. Today's guns are cheap, mass produced, accurate, and provide rates of fire that would have given General Washington a woody.
You are right in that it doesn't make it the gun's fault, but your reasoning is all fucked up.
Here's my proposed solution: identify the bullied kids, and enroll them in a judo class.
Here is my solution: Identify all the bullied kids, and euthanize them. One big geek kitten-sack party. The gene pool is cleared of all the pathetic whiners, and us normal people can go about our lives not having to worry about some dork with low self-esteem going postal with daddy's hunting rifle.
...about how bullies were the probably cause of the Santee shootings.
Nutso kids with easy access to guns was the cause of the Santee shootings. For all you little pinhead loosers out there nursing a revenge fantasy, remember this: You are as pathetic as your tormenters make you out to be. You realy are that bad.
If someone picks up a gun, points it at someone else, and pulls the trigger, there is only one person to blame for that.
How about a system for pre-indexing an entire site, such that the person who runs it can have a single document at the root of their domain with the index results? A standard could be developed that would even go so far as to map out the existing sub-sites (for AOL personal sites, for example) so that the engine could go to each one for the index documents.
Already been done to a certain degree. Unfortunately, these guys are about to be inducted into the Fucked Company Hall of Fame.
If you think the C64 represents "living the history of computing," you're an even bigger idiot than you know.
Here's some perspective for you, looser:
If it wasn't liquid cooled, you havn't done shit.
If you've never booted from paper tape, you havn't done shit.
If you've never done trouble shooting with an osciliscope, you havn't done shit.
If you've never done field repair with a soldering iron and a paper clip, you havn't done shit.
If you you've never untangled a fouled 9-track transport, you havn't done shit.
If you've never done work on computers with no IC's or keyboards, you havn't done shit.
In short, you are absolutely representative of the/. kiddie krew that thinks time started when they got that VIC-20 for Christmas.
You're just as big an idiot posure as the rest of the moronators.
The early RFC's are absolutely priceless historical artifacts for researching the history of the internet. Early RFC's were more like broadcast messages to the other developers. Meetings were scheduled with RFCs, bullitens were posted with RFCs.
There is also a presentation about Seymore Cray available on line that is fairly interesting. Check out that baby on slide 16. I used to work on that thing. WooHoo!
That was a fantastic post. It is a rare day indeed when I can come to/. and learn something new. My normal interests lie in flaming kiddies and music thieves. You, on the other hand, have added to my personal body of knowledge, and I thank you for that.
However, you ask...
Do we want to study the past systematically and rigorously? If so, we must use these tools. If not, then, heck, the Bible was good enough for my grand-pappy.
The answer, of course, is "No." We don't want to study the past rigourously. We want to keep grand-pappy's Bible around as the baseline model for all science. If we were to study the past, we might find that it doesn't meet our preconcived notions, and we wouldn't be able to push our own personal agendas with any authority. We want ignorance, as it makes our job easier. Truth is dangerous, and we want no part of it.
I havn't seen the movie, but it's based on real events acted out by real people.
One of the great "sniper battles" in history occured at Stalingrad. The Russian sniper, Vasili Zaitsev, had been killing German soldiers by the bucket load (over 100 kills at the time.) The Germans brought in their best, Koenig. Koenig was the chief insturctor at Germany's sniper school. Those are all facts.
How can it be theft when the Constitution does not recognize natural property rights to so-called "intellectual property"?
Ummm.. Dumbshit? Here is a quote from the Constitution of the United States that talks about what the Congress is authorized to do.
From section 8, article 1: "To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and
discoveries."
When you graduate from high school, you should sue them for giving you such a piss poor education.
It's not that you're young, it's that you're still in school. We generaly don't hire engineers right out of school, as they tend to suffer from being so smart, you can't teach them anything.
Experience shows when you don't complain about it.

You can read an excerpt from Zaitsev's memoirs that discusses the final exchange of fire.
The Russians often used females as snipers. The Chechens still do.
I don't know about the movie, but the story is a great one worth telling, silly love story asside.
