Teaching them to love Lowcountry shrimp boil will take a few weeks; teaching them to say "y'all" as a pronoun will take a few months; teaching them to refer to all soft drinks as "Coke" takes one to two years.
Whatever you do, please don't teach the newbies the phrase, "do what now?" in leu of "I'm sorry, could you repeat that?"
I have a screen-print (apparently not aging well) of some of my hobby software where Slashdot posted a similar story a number of years ago -- the point of this post is that they chose a better "department" back then: screen-print of some software

here's another one to try: kitchi -- it's mostly build to drive some LED signs but web objects are being added as time allows
> $1,000,000 divided by 121 people = 8264.46 per person. I'm convinced taking people's money through legitimate avenues is easier than through crime. Zzesers
This is the point in time when the fun begins -- the "smarter" team members start taking out some of the others and increasing their personal stash every few days
It is getting better here (just be sure to live close to work somehow) -- The skyline is getting better each month (if you aren't building your next mixed-use-highrise-building here now, you may be missing out) -- also, more people from the North are moving here and requesting that beer be sold on Sunday.
On thing I've tried is to make a function in ASP or PHP called IsPDA() which I believe takes a look at the server variable "HTTP_USER_AGENT" and if "palm" or "pocketpc" (or something like that) is present then it will return true.
The template for my simple website then will remove left/right columns, show photo thumbnails in 1 column instead of 4 columns, etc. if IsPDA() returns true.
I forget to test with a PDA, so I make no guarantees as to whether or not it still works perfectly, but the idea does work.
In the area I'm in, the FOX and NBC station will broadcast primetime in widescreen HD. The NBC station broadcasts local news in HD and has a sub-channel for weather. TBS will show home games of the Braves in widescreen HD (and possibly movies in non-wide HD - though they've occasionally experimented a little with stretching and compressing movies) -- PBS is digital, UPN is occasionally HD wide -- there are a couple others with one of the channels having 5 sub-channels.
Watching sports in HD is like wearing glasses for the first time.
The best part is getting this content for free via rabbit ears.
Watching normal cable on LCD TVs reminds me of those computer mpegs circa 1998.
>> The web is, and was intended to be, graphical, and RSS by extension is the same way.
HTML is now graphical; RSS was, in my opinion, designed to be easily machine readable. I do now have filters built in now, but I am still discovering additional creative techniques people have for complicating something that was supposed to be simple, which then requires more code;
If you want to publish HTML data to your customers, I recommend using HTML.
My biggest complaint is when sites that publish RSS will put HTML within their title or description fields. Many times its just a link or icon that is already listed via other RSS tags. It makes it a pain when they assume that everyone is using a graphical RSS viewer. I wrote an RSS viewer that works with LED signs. Please keep it simple when publishing RSS and let the software choose what data to display.
The analogy does fit -- in both cases a service is provided in order that the person has enough money to get something to eat at the end of the day. You're willing to give your money to the Taco Bell guy who then earns enough to get something at McD's later that day, but for some reason some people are too cheap when it comes to paying for software.
I just wish there was a way to get people in general to feel as good about paying their software providers as they do about paying for other goods and services.
Try renting "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" and watch it on you projector. When they show the scene where they are driving in the country, the passing scenery will look terrible because the colors are subtle -- more bits thrown at this will make issues like this go away (hopefully) -- there will probably be other cases of big blocks of similar colors that look blocky (explosions / sky / etc) that you will notice in other movies

it'll probably one of this guy's robots

It looks like Austin is unfriendly to IT interns -- companies in other cities typically pay IT interns $10+ / hr.
Thanks; I never knew what to call these things: { }

I'll give you a hint: I didn't see Georgia or even friggin Louisiana stepping up to help out!
Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen: Where Are They Now?
but Atlanta is sucky.

They'll show him eventually -- just keep burning and killing to show how violent they aren't.
If the scientists want to continue shrinking as the summary mentions, they should camp out on the space-station for a few years.
and if we are lucky, a shipping company will replace UPS and call itself PCKrs

This is Vista 1 -- when it gets to Vista 10.2, I'm sure it will work better on laptops.

What's wrong with paying that man for the software you are enjoying? Do you sneak into Taco Bell and feed yourself before they open for business?
