Baloney. I had to learn to use a mouse at one point, and I never had that problem. Neither did my ma, and she can't even remember how to close a window in windows. I know of nobody who has ever been 'confused' with 2 (or even 3!) buttons.

Personally, I am of the opinion that giving prisoners something to do other than pounding eachother in the ass can only be a good thing, whether it's paid with tax dollars or not. Prison should be about rehabilitation, not punishment.
Just because you can't prove something will happen doesn't mean it ain't likely. You can't prove that I will get wet if I walk out in the rain, but I'm going to wear a raincoat anyhow.
Because it is rediculosly verbose and hard to parse. You may counter-argue that it is good because it is standard and there are widely available libraries to handle it, but with simple protcols like JSON or plain ole' url-encoding, you hardly even need a library (esp. in JavaScript:). It will also save you bandwidth and CPU cycles.
Yeah. It's a FREE country. You don't want me punching you in the face? Hey, you have ZERO say about where MY fist goes. This is directed at your other posts as much as this one. Now please STFU.
How about dumping all those damn symbols and using *gasp* NAMES for your variables? Like, instead of writing a curly E-like thing, you could say "voltage". It's not so bad that to remember that curly E means EMF which means ElectroMotivceForce which of course isn't actually force at all it's actually just friggin' voltage, but it just goes on and on and on and on. "Q" for charge? "I" for current? Extra-curvy "w" somehow means angular momentum, eh? You have to spend half a page of the textbook telling us which 'e' this is anyway, so why not just write it out? "charge_of_electron".
If you can memorize all that silliness most of physics is pretty simple. I'm convinced that this is a case of physicists trying to ensure 'job security'.
It find it hard to believe some of the idiocy that gets modded up as insightful around here.

There is no doubt? NO DOUBT? In that case, there is NO DOUBT that I am Abraham Lincoln. So there:P
What you are talking about is called--get this--"copyright infringement". If the original owners were deprived of their data, then you could call it theft. But as is, it's only copyright infringement. If you want to argue that copyright infringement is bad, feel free to do so, but calling it theft is kinda like Dubya going to war because Iraq has WMDs. Nobody likes an issue-confuser.

TechCentralStation! LOLOL!!!!111 They're the folks that sent me a stupid CD with videos on it talking about how there was no evidence of global warming.
Less fun, maybe. But after my bad experience putting together this 8051 kit for my EE class (and having it not work, likely due to my lack of soldering sk1llz), I think I'll be buying my electronics pre-assembled for a while...
But I do agree that they should give you the option of just buying the book.

Thank you for helping me make my point. :) The ruby parser is a single line.

You missed the part that "XML-RPC sucks".

I first read it as 'Single-Species Planets Don't Last'. I guess that's not as funny, though...

Doom 3 is monotonous and boring, and Valve is evil. 'nuff said.
Yup. It's called Apache:

I don't even know. A long time.

Sounds good to me. All us communist liberals can move up North, and if you don't like it, you can come down here!

Man, that CD was funny.
yay :D i like teh tr000ll p0sts!!!!

All he is implying is that Windows is so cool that you don't *need* to be capable to administrate it. Not that it hurts if you are.
> Doesn't that say alot for their fearless Leader??
It would if it was true.
The engine demos are more fun than Doom 3.
:D)
(well, unless you've bound some keys to spawn projectiles and chaingun ammo
Bleh. I now feel the urge to get a cell phone just so I can put a fancy cover on it. :P
Probably because in the Good Olde Days(TM) energy was hard to come. Cave men more frequently died of starvation than obesity :P
> Java doesnt have pointers, it only has 'refernces'
-1 stupid
What the heck do you think a reference is?
Java's 'references' more closely C/++ pointers than C++ (or PHP, or whatever) variable references, if that's what you're getting at.
If you can't get a NoCD crack, Nero + Daemon Tools do the job nicely. That's how I got mine to work without having the CD in there all the time.
