Yep, Rannie is who I had too and it was sad the amount of people who dropped out of Computer Science as a major just b/c of his antics. Somehow I made it through but it was definately rough and I made sure to NEVER take a class he taught again.
Wow, you didn't go to NIU did you? I had a professor at NIU for the exact same class you are speaking of and he wanted EVERY line commented too. One of the first assignments I commented every line except the END line (I don't remember the assembly command but I know it was something that a non-coder would recognize as the end of the program because it was an ASSIST command.) He took off 40% for a perfectly working program that didn't have that last line commented.
He also took off 60% on another program that worked perfectly except I didn't make the one part of it that outputted the calculations a separate subroutine (I misread the specs). 60% for not moving like 5 lines of code! This was a class that started with about 30 students and only about 8 were left for finals b/c the other 22 dropped the class. That professor was a dick.
haha I love that episode. "The Contest", see who can go longer without masturbating. That episode is tied for my favorite with the soup nazi episode. God I miss that show...
I don't understand what is meant by "lifelong virgin". If you are a currently a virgin you have been one your whole life by definition. If they meant old, nerdy, virgins they should have said something like 30+ year old virgins who still live in their parents basement.
what if VHS recorders ever did something similar. I mean what if the VHS recorder could tell when you were recording TV and would pop up ad's when you fast forwarded through commercials on the final recording. I don't know if it would even be possible, but if they found a way to do it a LOT of people would be pissed off. So what is the difference here? I don't own a tivo but I would be really pissed off if I did and had to find some way to disable this "feature". I had been considering buying a Tivo vs. setting up a MythTV box, but now I have a reason to go the MythTV route... just my 2 cents.
The first series is of particular concern, as their use could be an indicator that your teenager is involved in the theft of intellectual property, particularly licensed software.
Wow, now you can see the REAL reason Microsoft created this page!
I disagree completely. If guns were made completely illegal then yes, a majority of the population would not be able to shoot people but the criminals will ALWAYS find a way to access guns. It has been said many times before, and I will state it again, if the criminals life involves breaking the law then why would they follow gun control laws?
The scariest part would be that now the violent criminals would know that they would have a huge advantage against law abiding citizens just by commiting their crime with a gun. I don't own a gun at the moment, but I definately don't want that option to be taken away from me or any other law abiding citizen.
Do I think it would be great to rid the world of weapons and live in peace? Of course I would want that, however, I am not short sighted enough to believe that by making guns illegal by law that it will keep them out of the hands of criminals.
Talk about dumb, at Chicago O'Hare Airport they will take your nail clippers and then once you're inside you can go to the gift shops and buy a pair. DUH, its a ploy to sell more nail clippers! lol...
I'm splitting hairs here, but 4 1/2 is less than half of 9 1/2.
I may be splitting hairs here but how I was taught math 4 1/4 is half of 9 1/2 so 4 1/2 is GREATER than half of 9 1/2. Nice try though, didn't have a calculator?
Likewise, a computer and network are useless without the programmers to write the software. I don't agree with how arrogant the parent was but I do agree that they are at least two different classes. I believe just about any software developer would be able to be a good network admins, but I don't believe the opposite is true (for the most part).
I have seen many, MANY $2 bills. A grocery store in the town I grew up in gives them out as change as a kind of gimmic. When visiting friends/relatives in other towns I would use the $2 bills all the time and they thought I was crazy, I never really understood the big deal until I realized the really are not that common in most other places. I guess our local bank special orders them or something like that for the grocery store. A $1000 bill I have never seen though lol.
The same friend I mentioned earlier is working two jobs, one in retail and one in entertainment customer service (bouncer)
So now bouncers get upset when you call them bouncers? This political correctness movement has gone to far!!!! lol I'm laughing my ass off at that, I really am! Funniest thing I have read in a while.

Another thing: most newer cars simply don't need to be jumped. Usually a car is 10 years old before its enough of a piece of shit to need jumping (assuming you are smart enough to change batteries every 4 years). This means we have a bit until the po folks get one anyway.
Umm so what about the people who leave their headlights or some other thing on in the car and drain the battery? A shitty battery is not the only reason for needing a jump start.
I'm getting the file at 80 KB/s for free from 3D Gamers... plus why pay extra just to download DEMOS, I would rather spend the 6 bucks on some beer personally.
I think the person you replied to did not mean obsolete. They most likely were not worried about HP not producing ink catridges anymore but rather were mad about HP causing a working component to stop functioning.
Sort of like if automobile tire companies came up with a way for the tires on a persons corvette that they do not drive often to self destruct after a certain time period even though the tires still have thousands of miles of use left.
Well I know Kazaa has a built in messaging system. So all the RIAA had to do was find a person sharing copyrighted material and then do a "send message to this user".
I also like how the message they sent to the users said the users could "easily" be identified. YEAH RIGHT

I never understood why people were willing to pay a monthly fee for this anyway.
Look at your sig, the answer is 42!

Did you ever notice that all legal MP3 encoders in the US are adware?
What about CDex ?? It's what I use for encoding and it is not adware. Now if it is completely legal I don't know for sure, but I think it is.
