Debt Deal Reached
·
· Score: 2
I certainly HAVE spent more than I took in. Not only did I have a car loan, mortgage, and student loan, but I bought a whole shitload of kewl toys. But, at some point, the bills came due. Luckily, I wised up before getting 14 trillion in debt, but I still paid for my excessive spending with years of beans & rice.
The 90s? The Chris Reeves Superman movies were in the 80s. That makes it 30, and if Hollywood can bring some of the minor comics to the screen, they could probably do another 30.
On several occasions, I changed a file on one machine, and it didn't get changed on the other. Someone on another website I'm on had the same complaint, and I saw an undefined complaint about syncing (it was too vague to tell if it was the same problem, but it sounded like it could have been) on the SO forums.
Also, if you want to post something but don't want it under your realname, there are plenty of other places to post it. It's common knowledge that Cro Magnon has plans of ruling the world, but good old MyRealName is as pure as the winter snow.
I once phoned my GF while she was driving, and her brother was in the car, so she just passed the phone to him, and I gave him the message for her. Later, she apologized for not talking to me herself, and I told her no problem. I'd much rather she let her brother talk to me and keep her attention on the road.
His work was raved against in many pulpits because it was perceived to be in violation of the book of Genesis, which states "you will bring forth your children in sorrow." Fortunately, rationality in tandem with numerous upper-crust British ladies, eventually prevailed.
Even with anesthesia, there's still plenty of sorrow involved. At least 18 years worth.
I don't know a single person who speaks Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. OTOH, half the people ahead of me in the grocery line are talking to the cashier in Spanish (which means, if you want a job as a cashier in a store, you'd better speak Spanish).
When an engineer says "We shouldn't release something on a Friday immediately before a holiday weekend because if it goes wrong it'll ruin a lot of people's weekends", the manager may say "I'll take that chance. Do it."
When an engineer goes off on one about how releasing on a Friday is a Really Bad Idea, how it will result in chaos, destruction, dogs and cats living together - you'd be amazed the difference that makes.
IME, that makes little difference. The average PHB will still take the chance. OTOH, if you can convince him that relasing on Friday will cost him MONEY, he will come to his senses and wait.
To me, the netbook was just an underpowered laptop with a tiny screen and an almost useless keyboard. It was only slightly cheaper than a far better laptop.

I'm not sure what is worse. The fact that you mentioned the Osprey, or the fact that I've read that story!
Are you implying that I'd have problems connecting with my fellow professionals as "Cro Magnon"?
I'm an older fart than you. I think my first was 3.2.

Last time I tried SpiderOak, its sync wasn't working right. Unless they've fixed it, SO isn't an option.
The only intuitive interface is the nipple. Everything else should have documentation.

What if your passphrase is "I forgot"?

I think I read that people once thought that the air would rush out of a train moving over 21 MPH, suffocating all the passengers.
Before kindles, idiots were trying to read newspapers or books while driving (I actually saw some of that).

I thought the signs were warnings that someone already pissed on the floor.
I routinely turn sports drinks into urine.
Prior to gmail, my inbox was 90% spam. With gmail, it's more like 10%, most of it from companies I've done business with. V!agra spam is rare.

Even in good times, it's hard to find non-fools to work for.

Some people use their laptops at home. With kids. They could have the power cords up on the ceiling and the kids would still trip over them.
Open source doesn't guarantee the code will get looked at. However, closed source does guarantee that it WON'T get looked at.
