I was the editor of my high school's literary magazine back in the day (I was always more of an English person than a math person), and my senior year I submitted a C++ Hello World as a poem to the magazine. Got a lot of strange looks but it got in.
IANAL, but I did grow up in the first state to have a sales tax. The way I see it, if we're all going to complain that the **AA should have to figure out a new business model to stay competitive, then the same should apply to online retailers. I don't want to pay taxes, but it's a free market. Suck it up and keep fighting.
I've been receiving a few of these over the last couple of months on my Win2k box, and I try to send messages back to them, which of course doesn't work.
If anyone knows how to disable receiving the messages, I'd be very thankful, because from what searching I did I couldn't figure out how to do it. Thanks.
i have the third edition at my desk. i found it useful in college to learn assembly, and i find it useful today because it makes the other people with intro java and mcse books think i'm really smart!
Calculating the Universe impossible from within it is impossible, because you would have to calculate the aforementioned calculations, which would put you into an infinite recursive loop.
I code for FedEx, and grew up in Memphis (home of FedEx hub and headquarters). I remember, when I was younger, that a FedEx plane had been hijacked by terrorists, and that a lot of people here were going crazy about it. I even know the Supreme Court judge that presided over the case.
I've been looking for the story at the Commercial Appeal's website, but I can't seem to find it, since it happened long before they had a website.
I've been on a FedEx plane during a hub tour, but I wasn't looking for security holes. I guess all I'm saying is that it has happened before.
If the password is sent as a buffer it looks suspicious compared to other keys typed. Perhaps, it should be sent a character at a time, after entered, but with a random amount of time between each character.
I was leading my mom to restaurant the other day, after leaving a guitar store. I bought a new guitar, and I was driving in 5:00 traffic (in a big city), playing my new guitar with the window rolled down, smoking a cigarette, and talking to my mom on the cell phone (NOT with a hands-free headset either). I arrived safely.
The human contender will stand a chance only if he's allowed to study the computer's style. Kasparov lost because IBM wouldn't let him see transcripts from games, while they were programming Deep Blue specifically to play Kasparov. And even then Kasparov still won a game . . . .
Judging by music today, those fuzzy algorithms would probably determine every Backstreet Boys song as being all of the others, since they sound the same.
If you ever read music magazines, you'll notice that most reviewers like to compare music to other more obscure artists. Maybe if you blurred the algorithms a little more, you could write a program to write dynamic music reviews!
So these things breed and lie dormant when you don't wear the garment for a while? The article (yes, I read it) says you may have to dunk your clothes in special nutrients to revive the bugs. That stinks. Maybe Tide could make a special detergent designed for sweat-eating clothes.
I'm hoping that the beer, coffee, and coke spills, candy bar and cookie crumbs, cigarette ashes, plucked eyebrows, cell phone and beeper radiation, mailing tape excess, fallen out rotted teeth (from the junk food), air pollution, coughs (from myself and other), snot from sneezes, soap from sink, water, and toilet paper mistakes that are commonly attached to my clothes will also help feed these critters. Hell, maybe I need these things after all.
This couldn't happen nationwide in the pre-Net era as well as today, but in a way it already has.
At my old high school, the English teacher for the gifted program would allow each graduating senior to paint one cinder block on her wall (of course, they had to be approved; I ended up settling for this one). We guessed that she would retire as soon as the entire wall filled up, but she just did this last year. She left strict instructions for the next teacher to carry the tradition on (it's been there for 20 or so years, and she always has major headaches when the other walls are being repainted), so everyone is pleased about that). Anyway, sorry to be so off-topic, but that's a tender memory to me.
Someone could change one word of the work, and call it a parody, claiming it's fair use. Even if this is obviously wrong, what freelance writers can step up against the big boys in court?

Today is an important anniversary for Oxford.

Here's a tech question you could add, and it's fun to show your friends that don't already know it:
Write a swap function that doesn't require a temp variable.
If no one gets it i'll post an answer.

Try Philip Greenspun's brainchild, ArsDigita University .
Yes, and you NEVER call someone "good buddy." That means you're gay, and you want that person to be your partner.
Are they going to use SuSE?
If people are shipping very large packages (e.g. horses, cars), they are allowed to ride on the planes.

Give them the SNES version of MK1. Maybe the sweat will make them think they should work hard to be cool like Sub Zero.

Well, Miyamoto spent four years on Super Mario World before the SNES ever came out . . . so it's possible.
...touchscreen gaming already exists
If I had the time to post often enough, and I was actually interesting, I would auction user IDs with 50 karma on ebay.

I wonder if they'll include the comments in this "shared source." I can see a customer of this, asking "um, what does ph33r |\/|Y m3m0r33 l33k mean?"
