Yes, 'cause the books combined are well over a 1000 pages and watching the movie would probably work out better for those who can't handle reading a 1000 page book.:)
*sigh* Code quality is subjective. Perfect example:
if( 1 == x )
Runs fine, looks butt ugly, but works. Is this of quality? As long as it works? As long as its easily readable?
What about a function that does:
int x ( int a, int b ) { return a/b; } Runs fast. Can break.
Its all subjective baby. You can't measure it by speed of coding, by lines of code, number of functions, number of bugs..etc... Its a matter of the employeer of the programmer being happy with his output.
You may have a solution to getting web browser developers to use the same html tags and whta not: give out a random browser with the installation. So now, if you are using AOL and a site looks crappy in one and not in the other, AOL could threaten to drop support:)
What are you talking about? You want unambiguous, you use longitude and latitude. "Yeah, I'm only a few seconds away from 40 degrees latitude and a minute from 43 degrees longitude":)
Flame me for not knowing where 40x43 is:P Its a joke son, ya' hear'?!
There's a funnier solution. Everyone who use SMTP in their mail client to send mail, point it to his open relay. Then he'll really regret "free information flow". Yeah the information wants to be free.. it just feels like costing him thousands of dollars:))
If you search for something that is in their directory, results are from their own databases first. If they run out of results, they go to google next.
1. Try searching for "pogo sticks" on yahoo. 2. Note the url. 3. Scroll down and hit the next button. 4. Repeat until you see google.yahoo.com
Note, they put sponsored links above it. That and after seeing the last page of results (in this case, the 1st page is the last), it lets you use google.
Proof that they don't alaways use google, search for "cars". You'll get a bunch of their directory links and sponsored links.
Nice site. Great previews. Their streaming media is.asf based. Their ads are a seperate clip in the beginning of the movie you wish to watch.
You can easily click the "next track button", same button like a cd player, to skip it completely. The Ad circumvention is already there.
Mind you, just because something is OSS, doesn't mean its against capitalism. All it means is that the code can be looked at. People make money off of OSS, i.e. LimeWire (I don't particularly like it) or RedHat. So dont' compare apples (OSS) and oranges (Capitalism). They affect each other but aren't qualifications of the same base idea: software distribution and politics.

You leave Enron alone! :)
Only if that robot is our fave, Marvin, the Paranoid Android. That might be a case of either role reversal or depression all around :)
More-over, the question probably is, is it profitable to do all of this and "make it happen".
Three words. Monorail, MONORAIL, MONORAIL!
Heh, depends on who you are. I go home after work on friday and then go out on saturday nite. Too tired to do anything on Friday nites anymore.
Or maybe I'm getting on in age.
I'm guessing here, but I think its so that if all your ram is idle, it gets swapped out. Chances are it won't be, but just in case, you know?
Smart developers would probably prevent certain numbers and names from getting into spam lists they create, no? :)

That doesn't make sense. If someone lob's a ball to me, I can anticipate that it will curve and will land in a certain place.
If someone pitches a ball at me, then I know its not going to curve as much.
I play v-ball, if someone spikes a ball, it ain't curving.
Yes, there is some learning in terms of catching a ball, but I just think those guys up there can't throw/catch.
Heh, famous last words.
Don't you mean,

Well, people are used to left handed comparison. Its probably more cultural than anything else.
/might/ optimize for..
You usually get a warning if you do if(x=1) vs if(x==1), but you are right, 1=x is going to generate a compile err vs a "probably warning".
Then again, a good compiler
x=1;
if(x)....
-s
Oh, btw.. yes, I said "his" code. If you are a chick programmer.. you should either...
a. Not exist. You are a myth.
b. Be a supermodel and be married to me.

Sorry.. I couldn't resist
Go opensource (darwin)! er.. closed source (quicktime)! er.. apple (the underdog)! er.. quicktime (best codec)!
I think this is great.. but what political stance can a mass of angry/happy slashdotter's take on this??

So what are they.. a wrapper for a bank? They don't hold any cash per se. But they hold money, sorta.. and allow you to withdraw.. sorta..
Lord knows.

Obvious to those of us who play GTA3 regularly but still manage to overcome the urge to plough over pedestrains on the way to work in the morning...
Um.. isn't it a case of art imitating life? I have fun doing this in NYC on the subway as it is. >=)
