I have nothing to add but to say that you are all sorts of awesome in my book. My story is similar: sharp cookie, dropped out of high school to pursue women then eventually programming (aha, there was my mistake), blah blah, now I'm in my mid-30s finishing a math degree. Couldn't be happier. People like you inspire people like me.
Fucking Slashdot 2.0 threading. I had no idea there were no less than four other responses before posting my own.;\ Sigh, I miss Slashdot, because whatever this is it sure as hell isn't it.:p
Don't fall into the trap (and then drag clueless yet for some reason pedantic mods with you). Effect can be a verb and affect can be a noun. Look them both up.
The only problem in not having tabs is that it's an extra 2 keystrokes per line to//-comment out a block of code.
Tools->Options->Keyboard:
* In the "Show commands containing" find Edit.CommentSelection. * Bind that command to something like Ctrl+/. * Assign, OK * Move caret to line you want to comment. * Hit Ctrl+/. * Enjoy life in a world cluttered by one less line of code.
This works whether you select a line or just move the caret to that line. It also works with several lines at a time.
Was the game really a failure or just the way the company ran it into the ground? I rather enjoyed that game (though I only ever played the single player campaign).
He's 15 years old. It's much easier for him to understand and critique something that has been summed up than to spend the time and critical thought necessary to understand our present economy. Let's give the little bastard^Wwhippersnapper a break, he's trying.
You've obviously never lived in Portland. Gresham doesn't count. As much fun as it is to say, Beaverton doesn't count, either. Portland is probably the least violent city I have seen and I've lived all up and down the west coast.
Disclaimer: I grew up in Portland, and I own a bike.
I'm about to turn 36, I can hear the tone clearly, and hell yes it is annoying. Now I know what makes dogs tilt their heads all funny. It's surprising that I should be able to hear it at all after spending most of my youth playing very loud music and DJing (wearing headphones plugged into various mixers, usually with the level maxed to hear them over the monitors). I was almost certain I had blown my hearing, or at least caused some damage.
But, I guess my father was right after all. It's not that my hearing is bad, it's just selective.
If there is any nation willing to do this, it certainly won't be the US. We can't even let terminal patients die without wasting vast sums to slightly prolong their misery.
I believe that has less to do with fear of death and more to do with the U.S. health care industry. Americans, of which I am one, have often displayed a willingness to risk life and limb for progress and discovery. Just look at the early space program. The folks who got us started are some serious bad asses. I have no doubt any one of them would volunteer for such a mission in a heartbeat, assuming they could handle parting with their families.
Honestly I'd like to see them create separate tests for Linux, Mac and Windows cause one test does NOT apply to all three.
Well, the real test with Linux is installing it. The real test with Windows is not having to reinstall it every few months. I've only used a Mac a handful of times, but I'd imagine the real test there is enduring the daily beatings for your lunch money.

It's truly a testament to the demise of Slashdot that you were modded to -1. You speak the truth.
>Its statistics.
No, it's just arithmetic. Stats is concerned with how likely and how often defaults may occur, not the overall gain or loss as a result.
>Perhaps because you aren't very bright?
Don't be a dick unless you are absolutely sure you are right. Even then, don't be a dick.
There wasn't modern industry, but there was economy. So your second point is as dribblingly retarded as your first.
Your post just demonstrates that you don't know much about economics, so I'd lay off the insults.

The Endolords here have forgotten more about dispensing pain than you and I will ever know.

If you're really worried about it, you're going to have to bow to the REAL intention of the "think of the children" lobby: Stop consuming porn.
Hah. Ha ha. Hahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHAAH. No.
No more rhymes now, I mean it!
i think a lot of cultures actively endorse masturbation
I'd just like to take this opportunity to say that I actively endorse masturbation, in moderation.

Actually no, I don't. I was recalling from my own experiences from when I was a kid and since. I stand corrected! Thanks for setting me straight. :)

How does the school know the name of the kid's doctor? I have never seen that question on an emergency contact form.

You'd rather see Hitler on Ice?

That sound isn't whistling. What you are hearing is actually laughter distorted by the Doppler effect.
More likely a recent cs grad.

Okay, I tend to agree with you.
