You should never win 3 on 1. When I was in Computer Club in high school I won a 7 on 1 (as the 1) in WarCraft 2, because all 7 thought "oh noes! we are playing Bill we better build up a huge defense" and I just took them out one at a time. All they had to do was all 7 send their first worker or even first combat unit to my town and kill me early. I guess some people just aren't cut out to play RTS games lol.
What the algorithm can't take into effect is micro and positioning in battles. Just because you have a more powerful army doesn't mean you will win the battle.
felony "possession of a destructive device"? I have all sorts of destructive devices in my house. A sledge hammer, a chainsaw, kitchen knifes, box cutters, crowbar, hedge clippers, scissors, etc... am I going to be in some sort of trouble?
I downloaded this app for my phone and found it to be the dumbest app I have ever downloaded. They must be fools for turning that down, because by my estimation they won't last.
IE still dominates the world. I think separating every possible version of each browser and calling it a different browse is a little bit of funny math. A lot of politicking going on here in favor of Firefox.
Call me when the Firefox (all versions) surpasses IE (all versions). If you put me in a Firefox 3.0 browser and a Firefox 3.5 browser I couldn't tell you which one I was using without going to Help --> About. I can barely tell the difference between IE7 and IE8 without going to Help --> About. The average end user doesn't distinguish to themself "I'm using IE8" or "I'm using Firefox 3.5" They just say I'm using IE or I'm using Firefox.

For me there is a mental cost to driving real slow and getting to your destination slowly. Lives are short. Get there as quick as you can. Time is more valuable than money.
There is also a new fad among schools to ban red pens for grading. They say it hurts the egos of the students and the schools are requiring purple pens instead. This next generation of kids is going to be the biggest bunch of sissies and cry babies to ever come out of public schools.
That survey is completely bogus. Pittsburgh is actually a very clean city. It just has a bad reputation, because of its industrial past. Back in early 1900s it used to snow black in Pittsburgh. Businessmen had to change their white shirts at lunch time, because they had turned black.
It isn't like that any more though. As someone who grew up in and still lives in Pittsburgh I can assure you that it snows white here now and that the white shirt I am wearing today will still be white when I get home.
I think what everyone here is failing to realize is that insulting the body's leader in such a way is considered harrassment of the officials doing the screenings. It has long been established that you only have the right to free speech as long you aren't bringing harm upon other people while doing so.
While not as extreme this falls under the category of "harrassing the officer of a law". In the eyes of the government and the law it is just as bad to "harrass" a TSA official (even if it something minor) as it is to call a police officer and idiot to his face.
I have a friend who was cited for "harrassing an officer of the law" for telling a meter maind to not be bitch after she stood at his car and put a new parking ticket on it every 15 minutes.
I believe that scripting is a form of programming and that the real issue here is not the language but the talent of the programming.
Someone who is a god-like scripting most likely can also program non-scripting languages fairly well too. And someone is a moron at programming non-scripting languages is going to be a moron when doing scripting work.
Good programmers are good programmers. If you area good programer you should be able to program in any language.
The thing that bothers me the most here isn't that child porn sites are going to be blocked, but IF courts are allowed to tell ISPs that the have to block to web sites of some kind than it is just a matter of time before the forced banning gets out of control.
What if some yahoo gets elected and thinks violence is bad and has all websites containing violence of any kind forcibly banned by court order. What about bad language? What about porn? What about sites about drugs and alcohol?
Hey why not ban every site that this anti-that judge or every site that is anti anything?
You can't just let courts force ISPs to censor things. I hate censorship so much, whatever happened to freedom of speech?
If you liked L.O.R.D. Seth Able developed a game almost identical to it for the web and it is called funeral quest where you have ot manage a funeral home. Here is a server to play on: http://64.105.29.52/
My school had computer club from 1995 to 1999 where every computer in two labs was taken so people could play Warcraft II. We had several games going at the same time and with school funding for the club we bought about 5 legit copies of the game for the lab. Since our school computer club had so many member the school gave us $500 a year spending. Our school of about 900 had 73 members in the computer club my junior year which was more than any other club/sport in our school including football or band.

If you drink too much water too quickly it can kill you. I think all bottled water needs warning labels.

I seriously think I might cry. I've waited so long for this game :(
I'll take them. PM me. I'll pay for shipping.

I'm a programmer by trade. It's not very exciting from a getting dirty perspective.

It says in that email that Bill Gates is "buying" Microsoft products for himself. That right there tells me this email is a hoax.
I guess these "Indians" LITERALLY are redskins
Wouldn't the cost of installing and maintaining all of those turbines far exceed the cost savings of the electricity generated?

Last I heard Pittsburgh and The Baltimore/DC area were fighting for federal funding to build a maglev train. Anyone hear anything about that recently?
