Why even call it a low-quality DIVX.
I wouldn't even give it that much credit. Call it a tripod recording, not a divx....it doesn't deserve the title.
I'd definitely not watch this crap. I've got tickets waiting on me at the box office and I would absolutely not want to spoil it by watching some sh*tty recording.
when I said that one must review with the tech support person......
What I meant was this. Make sure the person knows what the problem is. I just got off the phone with our DBA. HE said the tech-support person didn't put enough data in the ticket.
I told the guy what the messages where from the database and that they needed to be in the ticket.
This is why I always give my phone number. Some of the tech support people are just lazy.
The problem with most our tech support people is that they cannot possibly familiarize themselves with all of our environments my company has. On top of that we release new systems and come out with so many different projects that frankly the systems they use to track environments are never up-to-date. It's quite ironic that a story such as this be posted now. I'm here on a Sunday on hold with the Tech Support people while they're trying to track down who my "trouble-ticket" is supposed to be assigned to. That's right, I work on a new system that's not in their trouble-ticket tracking system so they have no idea who's supposed to work on my problem.
I suggest the following when you start working in an environment:
1. Get to know your DBA's and their telephone numbers (pagers, cellphones, etc).
2. Get to know your DBA's bosses names and phone numbers. You never know when one of your DBAs' bosses may have gone to the same college as you and you can sit around discussing all the 'needs' your system may have.
3. Learn the political nuances of your company and more specifically the groups that support your systems.
Additionaly, use these tech-support poeple as sparingly as possible. They don't know what your Oracle Error messages mean anyway. It's also likely they'll put fautly information in the trouble ticket. If you have to use them, make sure you tell them to write YOUR telephone number and name in the ticket as a contact person.
This way, maybe the DBA, or unix guru you need will call you first before taking action.
Always review with the tech-support person on the phone (or in person) and make sure they understand the importance of your problem.

It took CNN just over a decade to realize the protocol IRC uses for chatting, is habitated by hackers.
WWW.WHATTHEF#$K.COM! NO SH** people. It would seem reasonable to me that since hackers are basically accredited for having built up the protocol, that it's userbase would also, therefore, be hackers.
Talk about Investigative reporting. Thanks CNN, for wasting America's time.
People are too religious about computers. They'll want circuitry to be developed in such a way to be more beneficial to the computer than to the human.
People will call for "separation of computer and state." It'll get crazy.

That means less than a shit if you don't actually AUDIT the code before compiling.....

How great! It's the same damned picture...every time.
You sound like the typical tech support person.

Those who really can't, manage Tech-Support groups
This is a rant.

It's only karma..
RIAA, DMCA (you better believe it). Most lobbyists sicken me.

24.5 Million Dollars?... Lower??
Yah.. Too bad you can't create channels, or talk in any channels. It only has 4 channels, and only bots reside on the server.
:)
Nice eh?

From the article: "...pay to view..."
..Excuse me, but don't I already "pay to view" television?
...You just watch.
I know how these phone companies are. They'll either use CDPD billing or some other way to charge you.
They'll either charge you by the minute or by the byte. Either way you'll get reamed.

He had already had numerous seizures.
He had hawked a lot of his posessions, quit his job, and was spending 12 hours every day playing "ever-crack".
His mom should be the one to look at. I call it negligance on her part.
...april fools! More like April 50th post
THIS ROCKS!@#
There's no way building cyborgs will work.

Maybe we're just stupid. We dont use any CVS or any other versioning type software to keep track of changes. We dont' check in our code or anything.
Luckily our development is done on the web, we just create folders, and move them up when we're done.
...when I hear it.
..or at least the pops/dings/digital blurbs
Who are we to say cesium is the correct standard for time? How do we know time is, for lack of a better word, absolute.
What if "time", and the distance between a second wasn't absolute? What if it all was actually a variable of many different things?
What if the time continuum hinged on many different factors, thus propelling us into a continually confusing time period?
Who's to say we're right, and who's to say we're wrong.
Give me a nice chair in which to work.
Give me projects to work on without choking me with crazy deadlines.
Allow me to be creative. Being creative gives me a sense of ownership on the projects I work.
Understand 3 three virtues of a programmer as explained by Larry Wall. Do this and we shall get along.
the fbi already knows :P
we'll have to post cen's information next.--
they were attacking me all last night
who were you responding to?
Did you call him?
be prepared to get cussed out. He's not a nice guy :P
I know how he is...
Yes, you do need the country code first, of course.
