i run unstable and i don't really understand why anybody would want anymore bleeding-edge than that (unless they're going through "frequent-reboot" withdrawls after leaving windows...). i suppose you could add a bunch of cvs lines to sources.list and roll the dice, but gnome2.2, gcc 3.3, and galeon 1.3.4 are plenty up to date for me.

You know, even though Gentoo is supposed to be a "geek" distribution, it does make a lot of things easier.
i think this is the case with most of the "uber1337" distros (deb, gentoo - slack being the exception). a pain in the ass to get going (compared to RH, Mandrake, ), but once it's up and running, maintaining packages, etc. is a piece of cake. Granted, a Microsoft-esque installer is great and everything, but I'd much rather have an iffy, somewhat-cryptic installer and a beautiful package system than vice-versa.
I wish some higher level languages would force the use of comments in code, make it part of the declaration for a class or function.
"Traceback (most recent call last):
class Foo(Bar):
CommentException:
comment character length quota not met"
nah, THAT wouldn't decrease productivity...
I think the bigger issue is the more obvious one... Joe "Gray" Davis putting us down for $10 billion contracts to buy electricity during the summer of 2002 (a.k.a., the "electricity crisis"), and now he's stuck paying hugely inflated rates because he was hasty. Now, us lucky CA residents get to take it backdoor style in his place by way of additional taxes (as well as the "fees" that will be 3x what they were 4 years ago).
The monkeys could work for the guy who scored lowest on the SAT's (new VP in charge of Quality for Microsoft). Who knows, maybe the next Exchange service pack won't be bigger than the Exchange installer package...
Are people still playing this game? I'm no gamer, but i bought diablo 2 for a friend's christmas gift 2.5 years ago for $20 US (approximately one-third of what was charged for it when it was first released). Just playing devil's advocate, but doesn't anybody think this could be a veiled attempt to get all the (Star|War)craft folks to fire up diablo 2 again?
I dunno, i find it hard to believe that all "older" programmers would step gleefully into management after being paid code monkeys for x years. I love programming, but i'd hate to be a programmer's boss...
I don't accept any email that contains the word sex, espescially in the address
seriously, when was the last time anybody got porn spam that actually contained the word "sex"?/me adds "hardcore monkey fisting" and "lesbo fuckorama" filters to spamassassin...
I've never understood the use of IDEs, it just seems like an overly bloated piece of software that creates basic application structure (that most could scrawl out on a decent sized cocktail napkin) and assist in GUI building (assist used loosely). These minimal benefits don't outshine the speed and extensibility of vim, a whiteboard and an API.

the PowerPad and PowerGlove Nintendo put several years ago? this seems like the next step in that direction ("physical gaming")
as long as it has those uber-bitchin' skins, i'm in.
not to nit-pick, but punctuation != capitalization.
have a nice day.
does anybody else smell the "21st century pick-pocket" here?

Dreamcast is a dead console

i dunno, a $50 web server that you could damn near mount on your wall sounds pretty cool to me
I always read C# as "C-hash".
you mean it's not C-Number-Sign?
crap...

What do you think that chances are of Jackson being in the classic "Buddy Christ" pose?

just a thought...
Something else I can stare longingly at on newegg while knowing full well i'll have to sell my wife and 2 pints of plasma to actually buy it...
at least he's got a bright future in politics or with Microsoft's QA department

they'll be dead soon anyway. and who the hell programmers that use those little pill boxes that are labelled with days of the week?
it's well established now that their target market is willing to pay both.
or their target market's parents...
If you're not authorized (given permission, implicitly or otherwise), then don't access.
agreed. if you ask yourself "should i be doing this?", chances are you shouldn't.
I say throw the bastard in the slammer for a few months.
would anybody else find it mildly ironic that, if this were to happen, sex would take on a whole new meaning for this purdy lil' bitch?

Well, being a Mircosoft Certified Systems Engineer (/me makes wanking motion with left hand), that may as well be true...
besides, even stupid people can pass tests and get jobs.

Way to give these people the benefit of the doubt.
