now that would be sweet: opening credits with that nerve-cell-flyby stuff out of the pores until JUST BEFORE the camera gets pulled back over the gun, then cut directly to the closing credits.

Say, apple releases the OneButton Mouse Driver (TM) 1.0 under BSD licence. they then go on to develop it and release 1.3 binary-only. there's still no way they could take 1.0 away from the community. i think that's what the parent of your post meant.

At the very minimum, this can be encoded as a couple of megabytes of information, if not a gigabyte. All of which was transmitted to me the very second that I looked at your message.
this means that you have a PHAT PIPE (TM) (i.e. great bandwidth - you can transmit lots of information in a relatively short time) but doesn't say anything about your ping (how long it takes the information to travel)
I think that the information passed between You and Me, regarding this network update, has traveled at twice the speed of light (2c), due to quantum parity of the network packets.
well in this case it probably would have arrived BEFORE he even sent it. if you are quick you can respond to him and send him a message telling him to use the preview button because he will be making a typo. well. this is probably EXACLTY what slashdot needs.
Pigs are some of the most intelligent beings on our planet. Why do we kill them by the billions? Just to enjoy the transient pleasure of tasting their flesh?
we kill and eat them to gain their intelligence. their strong and tasty intelligence.
I'll agree that VB isn't the best way to do it, only if I ever actually use it myself. I don't plan on doing that, though...
good choice *g*
you're probably right about the fundamental idea, but i insist that VB is indeed horrible. (had at least some experience with it, although it seems to work for others - someone has to buy that stuff after all)
i still dislike the BASIC syntax and would recommend (purely out of taste, no "real" reasons) something else to teach the foundations of OOP.
Children should be taught the fundamental computer applications such as Ms Word, Visual Basic, Internet Explorer, Excel, ect... not the hacked together "gnu" versions featured in linux.
I'll start with Internet Explorer here. The main interaction w/ a web browser is via the adress bar, clicking on links, and some bookmarks. Obviously there is no chance that these poor kids will ever be able to surf the web w/ IE if they learn the basics using mozilla. (although there might be the chance that they don't WANT to use IE if they know mozilla)
On to MS Word. While it is true that there is some difference in word processing programs, the core operations and abstractions are the same on each. Ditto for Excel.
And i won't event talk about Visual Basic. I'll only say that while i oppose the death penalty, i still think that the person who came up with the idea to build some wierd object-oriented bastard BASIC should be shot. sorry. almost went on a rant here.

you mean i have to install windows to understand that posting?
what has slashdot become... *shakes head*
(no i don't wanna troll. just please someone tell me what it meant)
Weapons inspectors are not detectives, guys!
But Dubya sure is a clairvoyant.
Anything else I have to say will break Godwin's Law [...]
Godwin's Law
[Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."
Obviously, this law is only breakable by an infinitely long thread that doesn't mention Nazis.
You must have an awful lot of stuff to say, sir. *g*
I'll go put a foot in my mouth then...
do you want fries with that?

dude, you have to seriously improve your faster-than-light posting before your post becomes prior art.

While the RIAA claims the dinosaur had four wings it actually had only ONE wing that it could wag around REALLY quickly.
by remembering what both our parents knew and combining that knowledge to something new. (and passing our knowledge-genes to our kids.)
that would be
All your CSS code are belong to us!!
i know this is slashdot but come on, at least TRY to write proper engrish, will you?
only if you sing in tune.
In some 20 states of the US it is probably illegal to sing while having sex, so i guess you're out of luck here.

well. you probably just fell from the table you were dancing on at the prancing pony and the ring JUST slipped itself on your finger somehow.

why do i think more work went into the careful crafting of the title and its acronym than into the law itself?
