I already have worked it out, you're crying because I used your favorite joke.
This is a verbal beating? Heh. "You're crying! Take that!" Like a poor marksman, you keep... missssssing... the... target.
What a resounding counter-attack! How will I ever gain the upper-hand against someone who declares that I'm completely missing the target. It's a bullet-proof plan for Slashdot thread dominance!
I don't think you have any newer expressions you could have used. You are so worked up over not getting to use that ancient joke I used, I can only assume you treasure those oldies like little diamonds of wisdom.
I don't think I've ever seen a grown man cry over such a small matter as this. You are a grown man, aren't you?
Adventure has value, it's just not always easy to quantify.
I know for a fact that if I get myself into a rut with work, a couple hours in the surf clears me right up for about a week. I've learned to quantify the value of the adventure of surfing.
If you look at the X-Prize, and the SpaceShipOne success, you could say that on-going Nasa activities has kept many people's motivation high, which combined to produce the X-Prize and SpaceShipOne's entry. You could say it's leading to even more advances in the private sector, and I think anyone with a sense of history would realize that the best way to get into space is for private enterprises to see a reason for going. Nasa put us on the moon, but the hearts and minds of the people will keep us going, and opening up space to private enterprise will make it practical, widely available to everyone and perhaps, even, our entire future.
So, adventure has value. Everything isn't always a 1-for-1, "you pay this, you get this back." Sometimes you throw it into the sea now and it rains gold later.
I think it says you worry a lot about your own "fresh"-ness and that you think you make yourself look "hip" by pointing out the lack of "hip"-ness in others. I think you have latent anger over your own lack of "radical"-ness which stems from the fact that you wanted to use that joke before I did, but I beat you to it.
Go away and pump your Reeboks elsewhere before I put a verbal hurting on you.
For military and security purposes, you want access to the source code and you want your own people to review every single line for intrusion opportunities.
Your BEST option is open source, because you get to:
A) Review every single line, compile it, configure it and install it yourself.
B) Save money by not having to develop it from scratch yourself.
I'm afraid I have to give that guy a hearty DUMBASS.
It's a good thing upgrading is such a good deal! It was time for an upgrade anyway! How about that Lance Armstrong! We support the troops! Look up there!
We found a huge security hole in a domain name registrar's website that gave us access to every one of their customer's account. We notified them promptly and politely, they fixed it quickly and send us a little cash and a box full of promotional goodies like t-shirts and such.
The alternative would be to have published that vulnerability publicly and place ourselves as accomplices to others who would use that vulnerability to cause them harm.
Let me see: money, t-shirts and keychains or a federal indictment for aiding an illegal breach and tampering.
Use your real name on legal documents, not the name people call you. You really needed to post an article on/. to tell you that? Go correct it everywhere it's wrong, and from now on, use your REAL name, not your nickname. Dumbass.
It's not the programmer's fault; code errors are a normal part of programming. It's up to the managers to plan for them and deploy new applications carefully. Even then, assume a coding error will take you down and generate a plan for isolating the problem and fixing it.
1) Magnetic stripes on the neck-worn ID tags which contain a unique sequence of characters which are the equivalent of/tied to a doctor's username/password. Require the doctors to swipe them everywhere to input data. Periodically require doctors to re-key their cards.
2) Keep a central authentication system, but also mirror authentication information locally to wherever a doctor authenticates so subsequent authentications go quickly.
3) Disallow record editing after hours without permission. Counsel doctors who habitually require after-hours editing.
Debian+KDE might be right for you. You could probably get set up easier with Mandrake+KDE, but since you're a programmer, there's a good chance the *slightly* more difficult Debian install procedures are doable for you. Debian has a really, really nice network update system.
I think it's funny how something I post completely off-the-cuff because I'm in a cynical mood today more than I felt I had any insight into the history of volume in music, and I get modded up insightful twice. But on other occassions, I make truly thought-out posts and get modded down for flamebaiting. I know Slashdot is structured against a dictatorship, but it really feels like I'm always being moderated by a single retarded asshole every time.
The recent trend in "louder is better." Did I just read that? The recent trend? Since the first real Rock and Roll music appeared approaching, 60 years ago now, louder has been better. That's a "recent" trend?
We took about 4' of plumbing pipe that fit the DirecTV bracket, sunk it into a bucket half-filled with cement and set the bucket out on the balcony, let it set, filled the top half with soil and grew flowers in it. To keep the bucket from shifting around, we applied a bead of silicone around the base. We've had to move it once, and the silicone was easy to cut away and re-apply. It's solid as a rock.
Mars gravity (1/3 of Earth's) is also a huge sticking point. It would still take a tremendous amount of energy to lift anything out of Mars' gravity. You'd have to build a fair-sized launch vehicle capable of landing on Mars without damage, either with enough fuel to launch or with equipment to extract fuel from the environment. The size limitations of what you can land there limits how much you can lift back into space. The moon, by comparison, has half of Mars' gravity, making landing there twice as easy and lifting back off twice as easy, with a far, far shorter distance to travel through space back to Earth.
More than likely, Nasa won't leave anything to chance and will bring the fuel and water needed to complete the mission. That means the moon and Mars are equal in terms of resources. The moon is closer and has less gravity. The moon is probably where a stopping point would be.

A baby-step closer! C'mon.. you can work it out!

Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
Not at all, I just don't want to hurt your feelings any more than I already have!
I don't think you have any newer expressions you could have used. You are so worked up over not getting to use that ancient joke I used, I can only assume you treasure those oldies like little diamonds of wisdom.
I don't think I've ever seen a grown man cry over such a small matter as this. You are a grown man, aren't you?
Oh, sour grapes my friend! You poor bastard...so bitter over a little bad timing. You'll get to use that joke soon, just keep your chin up!
That was compassion; I really sensed you were disappointed by not being able to use that joke before I got to it.
Of course you didn't want to use it, that's why you're going on and on about it. Stop crying, there will be other articles you can use it with.
Why don't you go post "In Soviet Russia, mass coronas eject YOU!"
Will that wipe your tears away?

By the way, where you get those uber slang terms?
Oh yeah, the 80's.
I, for one, welcome our new mass coronal leaders.

T-shirts for me, please.
Discovering weaknesses is good. Exposing them publicly without giving the vulnerable company time to fix them is bad.

I see. Well then, I take it back, that's not what we did for our DirecTV dish. Sorry if I almost cast this discussion into mayhem.

Catcher in the Rye is there because it's a wonderful book, and a true classic. Try reading all of it, not just 1/4.
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. A journey in coming to grips with the real world and finding your place in it.
