Having been in this situation myself I can give you a little tip, which is especially useful when refering to earlier seasons of TNG.....comes from the Next Generation episode where... *notices violent look in buddies eyes*... Marina Sirtis was hanging right out of the that skin tight uniform... YEAH!!!
Infact, I believe they are teaching this technique at the academy now. Its know as the mammory defense;o)
...and lets not get started on the racial intolerance of 'space invaders'. Perhaps those little side to side criters were just coming to make peace... and what do we do? Blow them out of the sky!!
I am, however, willing to overlook the political incorrectness of the pacman genre and its blatent and obvious attack on the 'living-impaired' due to the redeeming gesture that was 'Ms Pacman'!
It is intentionally insecure. The page linked to is a wiki. Anyone can edit the text of the page and it allows the community to get involved in on the fly documentation.
Its a little brave to do this, but I guess they didnt bank on slashdot inviting the goatse.cx brigade along.
Actually informative, was the mod I was going for. Its always fun to play with the language barriers.
I had a secret wish that I would go to some tech trade show to overhear a fellow slashdot reader complaining that their Journey time was effected because "The M25 is covered with bollocks";o).
BTW, this works both ways, I speak from experience. Entering a 7-11 in Florida and asking if this was a place I could buy some 'fags' really taught me how to back-peddle!
The correct terminology is 'bollocks'. Also given the nature of the text it would be more correctly expressed using 'to' rather than 'for'. Also, as the US language is obviously derivitive of true english this terminology should also be valid in the US.
I used struts for a short while on a previous project, it seems to have gotten a little bloated recently though.
A framework I am working with currently is spring.
Spring is a superb framework for Java development and includes a pretty impressive MVC web toolkit as well as many other tools and features. The AOP stuff is very nice and the whole inversion of control/dependancy injection implementation simplifies code drastically.
Ive used quite a few different frameworks, but so far... this one is my favourite.
Anyhow, whatever *nix one chooses, it handily beats Windoze over the head except for gaming
And hardware support... The only reason my laptop is still running XP is that my wireless card refuses to run.
After a bit of hunting it seems that the problem is an IRQ conflict between the inbuilt LAN card (which cant be disabled in the BIOS) and the IRQ that the PCMCIA tries to grab when initializing the card.
The card works in windows without a hitch.
I dare say that someone with skills beyond mine in Linux could probably get it working, but for now im stuck in windows, as are most of the computer using population.
This is a question that I tend to think about from time to time...
I consider the vast amount of storage required for the average human being to function. Try making a list of all the faces you would instantly recognise, celebrities, friends, family, work-mates etc. The storage for that alone would be immense.
Perhaps the brain is just the processor, acting on some transdimensional storage area. Its not totally crazy right?
To take this a step further, perhaps our entire consciousness is stored externally and the brain is just the connector. Trippy yes... impossible no...
On an even more off-topic note, I wonder how many people actually spot the reference to a popular cult TV show in your sig... chalk a yes up for me;o)
'Boyo' is probably closer associated to Welsh than Irish, you might wanna try 'Ya big baalicks'!

Yeah, I have noticed this lots recently, its like guys read threads about how slashdot is full of sexually frustrated geeks and want to prove that they can play happily in both worlds (and make all the true 'significant-other-deficient' geeks jealous)...
Lo, the LORD shall come in fire, his chariots like the whirlwind, To wreak his wrath with burning heat and his punishment with fiery flames.

Bah!!! You can argue these kind of facts all day!
All I know, is that I have respect for a guy that uses the position of the most poweful man on the planet to get an illicit blow job and also has the good sense to lie about it!
The key to efficient software design is flexibility. Designing for the current problem while allowing the easy migration to more complicated issues (such has massive scaling up).
I think the XP guys outline this particulally well.
Design for today, allow for tomorrow. Too much software is designed with only one of points in mind. The great software covers both.
Damn slashcode chopped that sentance, FYI here is the complete version...
I'm not saying it will be absolutely free --...."
"....I'm just saying that ive got so much fucking money I dont care how much it costs, its always free for me anyways because if they dont do what I say I just threaten to add $50 to their OEM license!
So in summary, im saying that hardware in the future will be practically free... if you are a multi-bilionaire monopolist"
British kids are getting less sleep than their parents' generation
Yeah!! Damn kids, they should be doing exactly what their parents were doing at their age...
Taking lots of mind altering drugs and having unprotected sex with complete strangers!!
What is the world coming to!
Why is it that every generation feels the need to tell the next how much they lacked discipline! Thats part of being a kid! Consider it compensation for the next 45-50 years you will be stuck behind a desk.
If parents are happy for their kids to have free run of the internet then fine, let them do their running at home.
They are at school to take lessons and hopefully learn a thing or too. Would the posters questioning this action also be happy if the school library was stocked with 'playboy' magazines?

A suggestion...
Dont link front page slashdot stories to wiki pages!
Who in the hell modded this informative?!?!?!?!?
;o).
Actually informative, was the mod I was going for. Its always fun to play with the language barriers.
I had a secret wish that I would go to some tech trade show to overhear a fellow slashdot reader complaining that their Journey time was effected because "The M25 is covered with bollocks"

('bollards', for our British readers)
The correct terminology is 'bollocks'. Also given the nature of the text it would be more correctly expressed using 'to' rather than 'for'. Also, as the US language is obviously derivitive of true english this terminology should also be valid in the US.
So thats is...
"Bollocks to our British readers"
to which the clear and obvious response is..
"Bollocks to you too..."

Perhaps /. should release a study on the theorectical limit to bandwidth.
Slashdot's constant anyone?
The funny thing is, just going through my replies and I would say 80% are directly related to my sig.
It wasnt intended as something to be analysed. Perhaps its time for a change...
'Boyo' is probably closer associated to Welsh than Irish, you might wanna try 'Ya big baalicks'!

My and my girlfriend both hate posts like that..
2k/XP most people blammed microsoft when in reality it was buggy drivers.
Because it was perfectly acceptable that your entire operating system shuts down, dumping anything you had open at the time, because of a driver bug?!
Everybody can do as I claim, infact, ive travelled forward in time since I began typing this post.
;o)
However, I will gracefully accept your rejection, it is unlikely my fiancee would approve anyhow!
Well I have the ability to travel forward in time...

Well, I for one, support this action.
If parents are happy for their kids to have free run of the internet then fine, let them do their running at home.
They are at school to take lessons and hopefully learn a thing or too. Would the posters questioning this action also be happy if the school library was stocked with 'playboy' magazines?
