This is true. I just installed SE over my old version 6 this morning and found 24 items that I didn't find yesterday (with the latest updates, etc.) If you haven't upgraded to SE yet, I highly recommend it.
Wow... you said quite a bit without actually saying anything. Assuming that the person that weilds the tool knows and uses the tool well, what's wrong with VB (especially VB.NET)?
Mostly secular yes, but there is a daily article on Christian Science in the editorial secion.
Also, the staff at the CSM was nervous about putting the church's name in the title of the paper because they thought people wouldn't take it seriously, would have bias against it.
Also, the CSM is owned by the Christian Science Church.
I used to really love Magic Inkwell by Cayetano Garza. He's been into this whole weird mexico-type stuff for a little while now that I don't really dig as much as his older stuff, but I still really like his style.
I believe that i own the most ergonomic computer workstation there is. And its quite simple to make yourself. Two 6' utility tables next to each other. I can store so much crap on them, I never have to run to a bookshelf or somewhere else to get something i need. And the best part about the tables are that they have no drawers to smack your knee agains, and provide excellent leg room for stretching and whatnot.
The first thing i thought when i saw these iWorkstations was "Whre do you put all your crap." But, I do say this would be a perfect setup for the 80 year old women who think macs are cute and only use them for e-mail.
All the colleges on this list are pretty well known, excpet Principia College. Looking it up on the web, this school only has 500 kids, is in the farm country of illinois, and is a libral arts school with almost no engineering dept. Anyone actually gone to this school and know why it did so well, or is this just a fluke
Totally agree. Microsoft is once again bullying everyone around by including a bunk version of Java. If Microsoft can get all pissy for people distributing old versions of ms-dos and windows 1.1, then SUN should be able to cry when M$ decides to put out old JAVA stuff.
I think the judge should have forced M$ to
1. Stop bundling JAVA into the OS 2. Bundle UPDATED version of JAVA
M$ is being a dick, and dicks have to come down sometime, don't they? (at least mine does)
You must be a troll... Christian Science is completely different than Scientology, but Christian Science is Christian. They believe in the Christ. They believe in the virgin birth. They believe in the resurrection. They believe that Jesus was able to teach his followers to heal in the same manner that he healed and (in my limited understanding of CS) Christian Science is totally based on the teachings of Jesus. Mary Baker Eddy merely "discovered" this aspect of his teachings and called it Christian Science.
Also, there is no rule in Christian Science that you cannot seek medical assistance. Christian Scientists choose to rely on their faith instead.
Now look, it's totally okay if you think the article is stupid, but making personal attacks on the author is taking it a bit too far, irregardless of the humorous way you presented it. I went to summer camp with the author when we were kids. I later attended the same college as him (and let me tell you, he kicks all sorts of ass at ultimate frisbee). He's no extremeist and he's no jerk and he's definitely not a dickhead. The author and I were never close, but I did know him well enough to know that your assumptions on his personality are bunk.
There is nothing either cultist or ritualistic about Christian Science practice. Perhaps an investigation into the faith would better help you understand why they call it a science -- and help you save face in the process...
Post-Modern? Please. People seem to think that if a book is even remotely difficult that is has to be Post-Modern. Chabon has nothing on David Foster Wallace. Pinchot? You mean *Pynchon*?
--- Why can't we develop a codec which is "almost lossless" and works well at higher bitrates? Ogg and MP3 do okay at 320kbps, but the quality increase isn't 3 times a 128kbps mp3. ---
That's fine. But lossless compression is important for people that trade and distribute music. Having an *exact* copy is what we want and lossless compression schemes do that for us. In the trading circles that I'm a part of, mp3 and ogg are the product of the devil.:)
I worked for a company INAIR in St. Louis right after college. We did web-based aviation enterprise management. We were among the first to take advantage of Microsoft's ASP scripting language and were also a case study for Microsoft's SQL Server 7.0. Anyway, very bad money management resulted in all of us working for a few months without pay and then the closing of the company. In the end we found out that for two months our 401K contributions hadn't been made even though they'd been taken out of our checks. They hadn't paid takes in a while either. We had to get a lawyer to force them into bankrupcy. All sorts of shadey stuff going on. I'm personally owed about $8,000 and I'm pretty sure I'll never see that money. Oh well... that was a little over a year ago now. Life goes on...
I don't know what Christian Science has to do with any of this. If you're confusing Christian Science with Scientology then you are seriously mistaken. Christian Science is a Bible-based religion whereas Scientology has no links to Christianity in any way whatsoever. Also, I'd like to point out that the Christian Science Monitor is a Pulitzer prize winning publication and is considered an excellent unbiased news source. What kind of crack rock are you smoking this morning? Check your information before you post.
As I was driving to work this morning I was listening to the radio. St. Louis's morning radio show on 107.7FM is the "MJ and BJ show". These two schmucks were laughing about how they put up three online auctions that were totally bogus. I thought it was pretty funny until I realized that people thought that it was legit and were willing to pay +$2,000 for fake Mir pieces...
oh well...

I know these guys and I can confirm that neither Dean Kamen or anyone else at Segway had anything to do with this project.

The Christian Science Monitor is very much mainstream press.

They didn't ask the developers of .NET to optimize the app. They asked a "Microsoft Solution Provider" to do it. Very very big difference.
Retard. If that was his site then you'd have a point. But it isn't, so you don't.

Mucky Pup was the original band. They had some other great tunes. Check out the album "Boy In A Man's World" -- which includes "You Make Me Sick..."
