The "recall" button is in the absolutely worst place. It'a also one that I use quite often - so I can bounce back and forth between commercials on Spike (of which there are many) and something else.
I bill myself as a turnaround specialist; so what I'd say would be something like....
Job 1: Less than 2 1/2 years after being assigned to team, was instrumental in pushing a stalled project out the door.
Job 2: Assigned to a failing product, helped decommission project in less than 5 weeks saving employer millions.
Not courtroom quality testimony. Still, a higher quality of truth than Darl McBride's.
In Episode 1 of the TV series "The Adventures of Superman" ("Superman On Earth"), it's explained that the blanket that baby Kal'el (Joel Nestler) was wrapped in when he was found in the crashed spaceship is indestructible. Later in the show, Sarah 'Ma' Kent (Frances Morris) sews Clark's first uniform from this material.
I know, I know... so how did she cut and stitch the material? I've always wondered that.
The Microsoft financed intellectual property war between SCO and the Linux community is starting to backfire, with Linux gaining an obvious upper hand. Even the usually clueless PHB oriented news-sites are starting to paint SCO as a perpetually luckless loser. Microsoft decided it was time to throw some of their own old and generally valueless IP out onto the Internet and force Linux to defend itself on another front.
Whether this one works or not, I'd still expect yet another IP related incident involving Linux. The startegy here is not to conquer decisively, but to wear down.
I'm one of those heavy users that would be worse off without heavy surfing. I'm a homebound paraplegic. The 'net' accounts for most of the socializing I do, and my doctor encouraged it.
Even flamewars serve a purpose. Briefly taking my anger out against someone else keeps me from thinking about me for awhile.
One of the highlights of the article is when the man says "I was wondering for a long time why no one has gotten around to suing these penis-enlargement guys, because it seems like a pretty blatant... fraud."
The defense is gonna claim the cocky bastard's gotta lot of balls to sue, so something must have worked.
For a scant few bucks an hour, I will take your RFID tags out for a walk about the town. Spend a few more dollars, your RFID tags get to go to the opera, making you appear a very sophisticated gent. But skimp on the tip, and your tags spend a half hour in an alley known for prostitution and drugs.
This month's special - your RFID tags get a tour of the White House! And maybe even a chance to meet the president's RFID tags. Register soon as there are only a few openings available each year.
The thing that scares me about Qt is taking the time to learn it and then one day they decide not to offer a GPL version anymore.
The thing that scares me about GTK is taking the time to learn it and then one day SCO wins a lawsuit and then there isn't a GNU anymore. Life is full of uncertainties, and playing "what-if" all the time takes a lot of the fun out of life. Don't sweat the small shit, and remember - it's all small shit. Enjoy GTK, it's a great choice! They both are.
That's interesting. Somehow you made it sound like the perfect opportunity for an OSS project. Huge list of options that no one will ever use, commercial versions going bust right and left, stingy target demographic, not easy to implement, etc.
I think maybe someone should reserve a space on Sourceforge for RFID.
This tidbit of news was all over my local radio stations this morning. Now I had the impression that the RIAA had the muscle to slap a gag on the news stations if a story wasn't in their best interests. So how come this blurb got all kinds of radio coverage this time?
Slashdot Mirror
I didn't know suicide was still a popular thing to do in Japan. The aircraft in the photo looks spectacularly unstable.
Godwin's law transgressed on the first post? I daresay that must be some sort of a record... even for Slashdot.
That's the exact same thing my wife says to me. Maybe you're right... she always is.

Real men program with toggle switches.

If the US was a third world nation, it would change its tune.
Rumsfeld's handing out the new lyrics now.

They've spent the last few weeks re-engineering the site to handle some unusually high throughput.

In other words this is like a car manufacturer trademarking the word, "car".
Just like Renault's "Le Car" perchance?
With initial tryouts scheduled to take place at Parris Island, SC., right?

I wonder what exactly the "right" conditions might be?
Not being in SCO's sights, maybe?
Then you must mean... ...
1)
2) Move BACK to India.

I once tried watching the news on BBC America and Fox News in the same evening but it made my head implode.
If they get any further apart they're going to meet.
Europe isn't a borg collective. There are people who have difference[sic] opinions.
And you have two World Wars to prove it!
I do so hope Her Majesty will continue on this vein and posthumously honour Alfonse Capone for his equally shrewd business acumen.

If SCO can sue over this, then why can't Intel sue AMD for using the same interrupt vectors, instruction set, etc.
Because unlike SCO, Intel has a real product that they derive a real revenue stream from.
Oh, and Intel are not corporate assholes (for the most part anyway).

I always wondered what that was for. For sure one of the Opera programmers understands the K.I.S.S. concept of coding. Nice fix.
