Guess what dude. S*it happens. Steam turbines in coal or gas power plants blow up. Heck, steam boilers blow up. People get lung problems from coal dust. Gas blows up. Dams burst. Windmills kill birds.
The difference between nuclear meltdown and the tradgedies you describe is a difference of years: years until the surrounding areas become habitable.
The immediate areas surrounding Chernobyl will not be habitable for thousands of years. The surrounding areas will not be habitable for hundreds of years.
If a bird flies into a windmill or a refinery blows up, it doesn't all of the sudden make dozens of square miles inhabitable for generations. Tradgedies due to nuclear fission do.
Try to think less about "blogging" and iPods, and more about "female" things, mmmkay?
Well, chicks dig iPods, do they not?
As a general rule, technology, tools, and automobiles don't really interest chicks, unless they are conspicuous symbols of wealth, which clicks a biological imperative relating to the supportability of her and her offspring. Chicks do dig jewelry and clothes, but see above about the biological imperative.
Man, talk about the blind leading the dumb leading the stupid leading the delusional. It's not a social experiment, people.
Given the two options, most CEOs (who know even less about IT than PHBs) will question the investment of $5,000 in training for a $700 product. For $700, how good can it be? But $18,500 for the licenses seems about in line with $5000 in training. Its all psychology.
What fantasy world are you living in, and are there any houses available? Most CEOs are bean counters: since $5,700 is less than $23,500, most CEOs will question the value of the more expensive package.
"Wait, I don't get it: how come these guys can do it for thousands of dollars less?"
WRONG! You only have to claim those purchases when you are itemizing deductions. If you don't itemize, then you don't do it.
At least in New York State, itemizing means diddly. If you don't itemize, they instead tax you a percentage of that year's income for online purchases.
If you want to be pedantic, the i in iTunes isn't a pronoun, but an abbreviation of "internet". Additionally, since the development team is trying to convey a specific agenda, the name is appropriate.
I think people should support advertizing projects that take the high moral road. I'm going to reward these guys for staying legit and we'll see how it turns out.
But you're not helping anyone other than the advertisers. The adbar is run in test mode: the developer doesn't make a dime, and google doesn't make a dime.
So, unless you're referring to the moral high road of all advertisers who display web ad content, which I find hard to believe, you're just another schmuck who hasn't read the damn article
Craig owns 75%, so he has all the say. If eBay does not like this, they can request an election. Oh ya, they'll lose since Craig owns a 75% stake of the company.
While in theory, you are correct, but in practice, this becomes financial suicide. You forgot to include the comedy second option: if eBay doesn't like Craig's decisions, they can pull out: potentially hurting the value of craigslist in future trading.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this, but Bloglines is one of my favorite web applications. It's an online RSS/Atom aggregator in a simple, ad-free interface.
I believe the official reason was that Integras were immediately associated, in the US, with "most stolen car". It was a marketing move: Joe Consumer thinks they phased out the Integra and came out with a new model, when in actuality, all they did was re-brand it.
Longhorn will provide a framework (not required) for organizing your app into pages with web like navigation. This series of articles illustrates a library for doing the same using the current WinForms library.
Right, which is exactly what Dashboard (and the like) do. Dashboard applications are entirely XHTML/WebForms2/Javascript based, and are meant to provide the functionality that is described in the article.
I downloaded this from your server an hour or two ago (before you moved the server) and was getting about 170-200k/s. Definitely the internet highlight of the day; thanks a lot.
Not entirely true. Arbitrary code is any code or script that has been written to perform an arbitrary task; malicious or otherwise. Arbitrary code is equivalent to saying "random sourcecode x".
Your best bet, in a cheap and dirty solution, is to use SCP. Set up a cron job to securely copy the files you need. No muss, no fuss, no samba, and all encrypted.
PS - Interesting tidbit: The Finder was initially a (badly) modified Carbon application when OS X was first released. It was re-written in Cocoa for 10.2, and I believe it is the ONLY Apple application that has made that transition. It's either a testament to the simplicity of the Finder (right) or the power of Cocoa (likely) that they were able to change so easily. Not that I don't have my gripes...
Actually, it's still in carbon. Very easy test: attempt to execute an operation that would normally hang Finder (emptying the trash, etc.). Notice the wait cursor you get (hint: it'll alternate between the pinwheel and the stopwatch). Unless the developer has added the stop watch resource into the program (which Apple hasn't), the stopwatch is a legacy wait indicator from OS 9 and Carbon.
It still only needs the right layer in there. OSX still uses a BSD interface which is alot similar, and OSX's fancy graphics are still X11 based,
No, they aren't. X11 is completely separate from Aqua/Quartz. One of the many reasons why you need either Xfree86 or Apple's modified X11 to run X applications. Additionally, like the grandparent said, iTunes is based on Carbon, which is separate from the BSD subsystem. For the most part, OS X uses BSD for its kernel and services only: all Mac OS X native programs are written in Cocoa, Carbon, or Java.
All news reflects the business interests of the parent companies.
For example, in the US, that is why the Bush vs. Kerry news coverages is so incredibly biased towards Bush. For people who own millions in stock equity, etc., and for multinational corporations, 4 nore years of Bush is a big deal, money-wise.
Your cynicism aside, that's actually false. By law, every media outlet must provide equal time for every candidate on issues. I'm sure to what you're referring is George Bush the president, not George Bush the presidential candidate. I know its fun to jest about how George Bush doesn't do a good job, but he is still the president of the country: what he does outside of his campaign for re-election is still important as news.

Get an iPod and the Belkin iPod Voice Recorder. No muss, no fuss, complete transcript of the class under 400 dollars.

When my father had to create a holding company for legal liablity purposes, he wanted to name it Sosumi and Sashimi Holdings.
Needless to say, the lawyer was less than amused. Instead, he named it after the family dog.

The real power is in the purse, not in the votes.
