Dunno about ironic, but definitally bloody stupid.
Don't people grow up any more? this sort of thing might be tolerable among 12 year olds in the playground, but for adults??
All these millions getting thrown around in cases that in the end only argue pretty much bugger all but minor semantic points. I thought the millenium dome was a waste, but think of the actual good, betterment-of-mankind, causes that the money and resources could be going to.
I'd guess it could be a regional thing, my brothers worked for a co that bought quite a few gateway machines, and they were a pain from day one. Sent back, then more problems, tech support calls, "it's your imagination".
Whereas my wife's comaq 120 (from way back) is still running fine after 2 service call outs (admittedly the cost on both would have been about 10 times the price of the PC if it wasn't under warrenty, and I dunno how they can charge 600 quid for a 1.2G quantum HD when you can get a 17G for 50)
The best bet is normally to buy the basic systems new (often cheaper, they can buy in bulk), then upgrade when you get it, and never ever buy service contracts, get what you need and no more.
At a guess I'd say that what works for one langage will work for another, get some books on algorithms and programing in general.
No first hand experience in that sort of thing, I was kicked out of university, went in at the deep end, and now just write code that is quick dirty and meets (plus or minus the odd month, year, decade) deadlines.
Probably your best answer is to kick 7 shades out of your marketing & management, make them your bitches and you'll have the freedom to code good stuff.
Could be a trend I guess, the school I occasionally went to (bredalbane academy FWIW) had 2 buildings, the old and the new school, the old school was probably build 1900 -> 1940 and always felt a Lot better than the new school 1960 -> 70.
Architecture in general could do with wiping the last century off the books.
Which would you rather have, a stone built building or something knocked up in a week with lightweight breeze blocks.
Also uncut stone is much nicer to build with, building with it is similar to code trance, you get lost in the moment:)
Get one of those kneeling/sitting type chair things, crap to sit on, but great leg rests...
Only works if you have desk without a back, I built mine with 3 by 2's and laminated chipboard worktops, altogether there is about 10m of it, all about a foot deep in papers/computers and books.
Building your own working environment is the best way to, especially if you leave it open to modification, if something isn't right you can fix it.
Tip of the day: you can make a great bookshelf by chopping up a slatted futon base.
Thought you had ADSL in Glasgow, I am in the highlands, gonna be about 2004 min b4 we get it here.
I'm moving.
Of course BT could have done it years ago, they had the tech and they definitally had the money, but would have lost a lot on leased line rentals and ISDN.
And of doubling the time to get the job done, the few times I've used off the shelf shopping carts (not exactly the same, but) I've had to write/rewrite more code than it would have taken me to build a system from the ground up.
The thing with tools like this is that they really appeal to management types, especially with all the hip marketing buzzwords (pet hate, along with hip marketing types) used to sell them.
I've been designing sites since around the time BGCOLOR arrived, and I've never found any 'system' that was more effective than hand edititing the code, otherwise you have no feel for what is going on and if something breaks or bends you don't know where to start to fix it, if you even notice it in the first place.
Well I guess the directors/employees won't be allowed to benefit directly if they have filed for bankruptcy.
But, if you had an 'arrangement' with your creditors would it be possible to create a new site offering [something popular & useful] for nothing but registration (with cast iron privacy policy), wait till you have several 100K users and fold the company, flog the database, and get your cheque sent to your hotel in Manilla?
Hey, it's a better idea than let's buy it dot com anyway:P
I really wish people would stop coming up with these things, and then describing them in language like:
The purpose of composition modeling in WebML is to define which nodes make up the hypertext contained in the Web site. More precisely,
composition modeling specifies content units (units for short), i.e., the atomic information elements that may appear in the Web site, and pages,
i.e., containers by means of which information is actually clustered for delivery to the user. In a concrete setting, e.g., an HTML or WML
implementation of a WebML site, pages and units are mapped to suitable constructs in the delivery language
Because I just know that sometime I'll be asked to work on a site using it, probably with a short deadline...
got a garage full of the stuff I could sell you cheap, except of course for the UK -> US container rental/tansport prices, and of course the fact I enjoy the stuff way more than any pleasure a T1 could give me, then again my favourite game as a kid was jumping out of the top of large pine trees and sliding down.
I've heard you can do wonderfull stuff with bamboo though.
And anyway isn't it worth it to trancend this short brutal/. existence?

Personally I listen to no music at all because of all the imperfect chords.
She is witty, she is erudite, she CAN act, and Sabrina The Teenage Witch is without doubt one of the best programs on TV currently.
Every time I read one of these articles about the MP3 controversy the first thing I think is, 'hey have't downloaded any good tunes lately'.
I must have cost the RIAA at least $658 million all by myself in post publicity mp3 download binges.
Except in Steven Chow's 'Lawyer Lawyer', but that's ok cos he's very funny.
I think you should only be allowed to apply for the bar if you have had *at least* a succesful 2 year career in comedy beforehand.
I demand more humour in my bread and circuses!

The button to toggle image loading is funky also.

Should have hung on for the Z5 though, less barbie & ken.
Now is the time to rise up brothers and sisters, the movement needs you :)))
Umm in which case when people start clicking on the correct link below, does that mean that the whole of Thailand is going to be slashdotted?

then it's time to get some scaffolding.
Think you've been reading too much sci fi...
