Sorry to come of inflamatory. I go to church regularly and I don't find South Park offensive either. It's always the squeeky wheel that gets fixed and I'd just hate for all those 'nutters' to get their opportunity to bash something that really did make a lot of people happy.
I never was a huge fan of South Park, but it did have it's moments that it'd get a chuckle out of me.
I just hope we don't see religious or other communities saying this is an answer to their prayers. Even if you don't agree with the humor doesn't mean that this loss of life is any different than a clergyman's death.
There once were computers in Limerick And funlove had been making them sick Dell recalled them for free Without any glee So they wouldn't get sued by some prick
I suppose that they impose GPL or something else. I looked around but I couldn't find a word this though. Can somebody tell me if they enforce a liscence or can you choose something like a BSD liscence or a GPL liscence or can you make your own half-breed liscence?
Wow, one of the Perl gods whose name graces several of my books shelves and I am here to split hairs.
Please don't confuse the use of personal computer between a marketing term for a wintel system and what a consumer uses a device for. If you want to call a Sun-1 or a Microvax a personal computer and put them in the class of Wintel boxes and iMacs then I honestly think you are doing a grave injustice to both Sun and Digital ( well what's left of it here ).
Maybe you can suggest a good book to read about VAJ then. I just know at the place I worked at we had no support, no books and they just said "here is IBM's main help number for this, call them because we can't afford books." Between trying to get the Servlet builder to work properly ( as opposed to just writing out the 200 lines of code for the silly thing in the first place ) and inconsitancies between the IDE and what was actually being output I was near pulling my hair out.
As with most things though, it was probably the bad experience and that I'm used to having the control of coding everything by hand. It is more than likely I just didn't know how to use the tool, so if it is so good where should I look for information? I really would be willing to try it again, I just don't see the point in breaking my back to learn it.
Some of the coolest games have been released on the Sega systems too. Fantasy Star, Sonic... this is really depressing news! That just leaves what, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft to duke it out.
sorry, for some reason I mis-read the statement and 'saw' 3 semi-colons in the for statement... shoot... guess that is what I get for listening to too much rob zombie...
Speaking of movies has anybody listened to the 'blind' track for Basic Instinct? It is pretty damned funny! I mean geeze, if it hadn't said blind track I would have thought it was a joke.
This is just another case of people who have too much time. I have relatives in my family who are blind who could care less to use a television much more than a computer. Apparently there are too many people out there who can't take problems upon themselves to solve them.
It also isn't like AOL is the only internet service provider. These people could setup emacs-speak and use somebody else to browse the web. The web just doesn't translate all that well from a visual medium to sound or something else. Geeze...
There are plenty of deaf students at the college I went to and I didn't hear any of them complaining. Well okay, it was their neighbors ( like me ) who were complaining because they were being idiots and playing the bass too loud. Nothing better than being shaken out of your bed at 3 am in the morning to Snoop Dogg, especially when it isn't being played with any mid or high range.
Honestly though, it is impossible to cover every possible variation for a disability or similar problem. If a person was born that was blind, deaf dumb, leperous and couldn't taste or smell I swear somebody would sue in their place because this person was denied the ability to read slashdot. Argh!
What is the name of the style of writing that doesn't use a given letter? I remember there was a book that was written that didn't have a single e in it. Maybe we could get the author to envision an internet that doesn't have the letter e.
Having worked with the company that handles most of the ATM and credit card transactions on the East coast I can say they have every right not to trust the things. CNS is in deep shit and I know for a fact after looking at a lot of their code that I am not going to use those things next year. Or maybe I should, maybe I could cash in with everybody else.
Okay, so maybe the Bill wasn't shot down for reasonable security concerns, but I still would like to say that I can't imagine it would be very hard to 'steal' somebodies identity. Assuming they use a private/public key algorythm it wouldn't probably be too hard to get the private key. With America's current computer ignorance, anybody with a little balls and good social engineering skills could steal somebody's identity.
Without informing the public a million times over I just see this leading to disasterous problems.
Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. At the current time I do not think that a digital signature is a good thing. It would be too easy for a clever 'theif' to hijack this information and pretend to be somebody else. If the internet is going to be the foundation of our new economy we need something more substantial to validate transactions through a digital medium.
Having a standard bs'ing session with some of my old college buddies we talked about this sort of thing. However, I am of the firm belief that a 3 dimensional window manager is just a crutch to getting to the 4 dimensional window manager. Then the 4 dimensional window manager is a crutch to a 5 dimensional...
What we really need to do is determine what an 'n' dimensional window manager is, what it would be and how it would work. I just can't see a 3d wm doing anything for me that I couldn't do with a 2d wm. Ah well, just my two cents worth.
This is a very good thing, it is bad enough that somebody could steal my credit card or other personal information. Think of what damage could be done when somebody could have that much more credit to masquerade as you...
Just like Microsoft, the government can't be wrong *all* the time.

Yes, but aerodynamically a dragonfly is much different than a fly. Granted adding two additional wings changes that aerodynamic as well.
My guess is that the more likely reason is that it was given the name 'fly' because it is roughly that size. Either that or the naval personel have a hard time saying words with more than one syllable.
I'd imagine it is much like what Douglas Adams described in The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul ( or was it Dirk Gentley's Holistic Detective Agency )... so, based on the current project I'm working on I might get to listen to death march music... yeah!

I'm sort of upset I never got questions like that in college.
I particularly like 5, 6 and 7...
Really though... how do you make people realize it isn't you?

Do you we know they were linux users or are we now facing the old stereotyping... and all hackers now are *obviously* linux users...
Yeah Amazon.com would say that. Poor bastards.
Actually I thought it went back into print this month... but maybe I'm wrong.
