If you aren't willing to work for a company that requires one, then find a different job.
Not exactly possible in today's job market. It comes down to "sign this overly-restrictive document of potential forced unemployment or starve in the rain".
the unemployment rate in Canada is currently higher (7.3% April 2004) than the US unemployment rate (5.6% April 2004)
Are you aware that the unemployment rate here in the US does not count those who's unemployment benifits ran out and who are still jobless? Unemployment is out of control here. I have friends in Seattle (very smart, determined people) who have been without a job for over 2 years.
Oh sure! Why I feel much safer with Bush and the US Army angering terrorist groups to the point of unbridled rage. Why, that's just a fucking brilliant idea!
As much as I dislike Windows (have to use it at work), the Visual Studio.NET IDE kicks ass. The auto-completion in C# works brilliantly and helps one learn the API extremely quickly.
(The editor has a memory leak, though, so if you work all day on a large project you can expect the IDE to take up 800MB to a GB of RAM.)
Reminds me of a legacy Perl app I had to work on. I was given 6 months to move a decimal point 2 places. Just finding the damned thing took 3 months. I got to decode structures like (and I am not making this up) a hash of a hash of a hash of a hash of an array of hash references... all accessed by the variables $key1, $key2, $key3, etc...
One of the very few features I actually like about Windows XP is that when the task bar starts to get crowded it collapses multiple instances of the same window/app type into a single task bar button that you can click to get a list of all windows in that group.

Exception handling. Exception handling cures ALL!!
I've never seen the need for more than 640k.
You've never had to implement "business logic" in VisualBASIC, have you?...
Mars rocks!
Sorry... bad pun... no karma bonus... overuse of periods... running away now...
Philosophize until you are blue in the face, but the determining factor must lie elsewhere.
Brainwashing via parents and community?
These stupid patents just about piss me off enough that I'm ready to boycott Amazon.
I've been boycotting them ever since 1-click. Stupid fscking corporate mentality...
I hope they do a better english dub this time. The first was an astounding movie with one of the worst english dubs ever.
Location of iTunes library file not changeable (and in users' homedir). WTF?
Symlinks, dude. Symlinks. I have my iTunes library on my much larger secondary hard drive so I have more room on my boot drive for apps.
Why are the drivers closed in the first place? Won't they sell more cards if they're supported by a wider variety of software?
Ready! Fire! Aim!

The STL didn't even exist when I started with C++. Still, it was better than what the CS dept. I was attending at the time used: ADA.
I still have nightmares.
Did you survive?
Without video games, violent unstable people would have to turn to places like the Bible for inspiration for truely gruesome acts.
Tomatoes have never needed fish genes before, so why would they suddenly need them now?
So they can swim, dummy!
Some drugs are bad.
Some are really, really fun.
And, thanks to Michael Ironside, we even got a great delivery of the line "They sucked his brains out."

One of the few stories to give me the chills. A very good read.

You mean, there's no shortage of people willing to play video games for a living?
But how many of them can really get into a game to fully critique it? (As opposed to, "Duuuhhh... gamez ar fun, doodz!")
... and red usually means danger...
Or in the case of bouillon cubes, beef.
I like each web page to appear in a different window so that Alt-Tab works between all open documents
Just a suggestion: Keep related groups of web pages tabbed in a window, have multiple mozilla windows for each group.
(I absolutely love tabbed browsing. I'm never going back! NEVER!!)
