This sort of thing really annoys me. I was in a similiar situation with computer science - The first time I saw a PC, I tried to rewrite windows to work on my spectrum, heh.
My dream goal is to set up something like the school in x-men. Not the mutant part, but the school for the gifted. I know that sounds so ridiculous, but I think it would be beneficial, and would help a lot.
I was so yearning for people to teach and help me when I was young, and I was lucky that I had a great headmaster at school who put me on a few evening courses at the local college. I had City & Guilds in C, advanced C, and C++ by the age of 14, starting from 12. I want to repay that by helping others.
My current plan is to pose as someone who wants to be a teacher, and teach advanced topics at a college in the evening. College (What we call college in the uk - from 16-18) is the best place to start, since any younger and they are very cautious about letting people near the kids. I'm hoping that if I get experiance as a college teacher (even for just an optional afternoon class) it will help a lot.
Er no. Since when was being a pervert necessarily an illegal thing? For that matter, neither is being a pedophile - since the definition according to dictionary.com is someone who is _attracted_ to a child or children. It's not illegal to be, just illegal to not resist the urges.
I gave up caring when I knew that it was illegal to watch dvd's in linux, and illegal to put any tracks from my cd's onto my mp3 player. (The UK doesn't have fair use - we aren't allowed to copy cd's _at all_.
I was going to buy a music cd for my gf, and the one she wanted had "Does not work on pc's" on it. So I had no choice but to download it off the internet so she could listen to it on her laptop (poor students etc)
And on top of all of this, I hear so many stories that the money I pay doesn't even get distributed fairly between those who helped make it.
So I personally gave up caring about paying for music and dvd's. With the exception of the occasional dvd (southpark/simpson, since I have downloaded so many episodes, I feel it only right to buy a few dvd's, and I really want to buy animatrix despite having already downloaded it because I think it's very cool. I'll have to wait for my credit card to work again.)
It's more interesting if you look at professional athletes. The managers ask them to not have sex with their spouses for months before a competition, but it seems that fairly new research points towards that it is actually beneficial to have sex near an event, and helps the muscles rather than wears them out.
This is from what I remember from a newspaper article, so take it as you want..
>Having said that I much prefer MS-SQL and Oracle for most systems, but cost is a big factor and sometimes you can't justtify spending several thousand just for a DB.
Well mysql can do anything ms access can (database wise).. At least as far as I can think of.
When I started off in the database field, I developed a few databases for about 4-5 companies, using MS-Access. It was all gui, click and play..
Then I went to university, and learnt database theory, and use oracle. At first I thought it was a step back, since it wasn't as easy any more to produce a database. Then I realised that far more of the effort goes into designing the database than implementing it, and that the GUI almost discourages designing first.
Eclipse is written in java. Someone wrote a jvm for.net (mono) So now eclipse can run on.net
This offers the advantages of being able to be compilied to the native platform ( I think - i don't follow.net too much) and technically you could from eclipse call functions written in other languages on.net.
I agree. I am fed up of Microsoft being compared to the borgs. The borgs were not inherently evil, just failed to understand other species. They were just aiming to survive, and did what they thought best. They also had advanced and extremely reliable and adaptive technology.
I basically agree, but please do remember that "negligence" is basically the extreme of being careless. It's a fairly major criticism to call someone negligent.

Why are you branding us a "people"? Why do you feel the need to put us under this umbrella, putting me in the same group as mass-murderers and rapists? Why are you trying to bind me to that group? Is it not sufficient to leave me undefined?
I saw the.avi of a Quake Done Quick which was 12 mins 27 secs. I was told verbally that this hadn't been beaten. Are you mistaken, or has it been done faster?
>Bowling for Columbine is mostly a work of FICTION
It might be, but the url you gave, gives no proof of this. It doesn't actually contradict anything in the film, just says it doesn't like what it hears, and says it is a work of fiction, without following it up.

I'm having a hard to working out what you are saying.
Could you please rephrase.

That would make this case not two wrongs either. They make it uninstall (1 wrong) to stop the DDOS's (avoid another).
Of course 2 wrongs can make a right.
Imagine you were in the bizarre situation where you had to shoot a terrorist to stop him from blowing up the entire world, killing everyone.
It is wrong to kill - but in this situation surely it would be right to.
uh couldn't you apply this logic to force muscians to supply their music sheet.
Or for programs to supply the source code of programs so people without computers can admire the programs..

Silly.

I agree.

Stop equating them with MS and degrading them.
er that's because you wouldn't file a lawsuit against someone for being 'careless'.
You are using a circular argument, or something like that..
I basically agree, but please do remember that "negligence" is basically the extreme of being careless.
It's a fairly major criticism to call someone negligent.

Don't forget that a large part of it is other's opinion of other's opinions about the company.

Thanks. The first link (ufies.org) was good enough for me - I agree with what they say about the bad editing.

I'm a brit, but things like this make me respect Canada. Particularly after watching Bowling For Columbine (watch it if you haven't).
Of course, SP reduces that respect, as it tells me to hate canada. And they do have funny accents. And flapping heads.
