Seriously I don't get why so many people spend hours upon hours in front of their notebooks. When I used one as my main working machine my shoulders hurt and I had to be way more careful while typing because of the keyboard.
Why are so many people assuming that heavy notebooks are better? I much prefer having a small notebook and a larger desktop. Best of both worlds in two distinct package.
Get off your high horse please. Web developers span from really good to really bad just like any software developer.
I've seen amazing binary software developers attempt to make a switch to web in the late 90s and it was disastrous. They weren't ready for browser wars, the fickleness of HTML/CSS and the particularities of Javascript. You may be right in assuming that all web developers aren't good but to issue a blanket statement that all of them are below you makes you sound asinine. Some are amazing just like in compiled land.
Who cares... and I'm not saying that to sound like what you mean doesn't have any implication.
Just consider how much less polution you would have in large cities if people drove these cars. Yes they are still polluting but at least the pollution isn't going from the street to the lungs with little else but a sidewalk in between the two.
Those historical figures are for small bits or simple melting. They aren't for large blocks the size of this one popping off.
" Between 1959 and 1974 a total of 48sqkm calved off from Milne and Ayles ice shelves. In addition, the Ayles Ice Shelf moved about 5km out into Ayles Ford"
"The largest observed ice calving occurred at Ward Hunt Ice Shelf (just north of Ayles) where almost 600SQKM, broke off between 1961 and 1962".
They are not circumventing the LUA subsystem as you say they do. Their work is in C# and doesn't even use LUA. It uses their own system that reads their own computer memory which is something that Blizzard doesn't own. The DMCA is there to prevent people from accessing stuff which they do not own like the source code to WoW. In this case the DMCA does not apply.
you'll most likely have people like you who understand you
the projects you'll take on will have more chance to be difficult technically because the people giving you the work know what the languages and you can do
In the.NET company
business people make technical choices
the stuff you'll be asked to do will probably be simple (which means boring) because business people know as little as they can get away with of the technical side of things
I just left a.NET company to work for a php/perl/python/ruby company. At one place I had trouble getting up in time (had to be at work for 9am). Now I get up at 5 in the morning to get to work ASAP.

Loading times have always been a factor. Instant is usually better imo:-D
To Americans who believe that Canada is just like you guys except colder.
- we know we're doing better than many countries when it comes to human rights but we are not happy and most likely never will be. - we don't have a ton of people chanting patriot nonsense on national television. Most of the time we make fun of politicians regardless of affiliation. - one of the biggest reasons why we are doing so good is because we have you guys just south of us. We look at what you are doing and point out why it isn't right, then model something different to use as our policies.
I think the problem isn't not loving the Reps or the Dems, it's hating the way people are fooled to believe that black and white are the two colors of the rainbow. You see in most other countries there are more than 2 contenders for office, and the second place is often close to the third player. It's sad to see how the US government and media fools all of you. I'm glad I live in Canada, where of course we aren't perfect but at least our media is honest enough to point out what's wrong instead of making the problem worse.
Saying that there is always two sides to every story is simplistic. There are shades of gr[e|a]y in everything.
WoW makes has numerous things to make it an addictive game. And the guy does express something important here. He never beat a game in his life. For everyone else who usually finishes what they start the whole game is a time sink and certainly one with such a vague and moving forward objective that it hurts.

I don't use Java, nor do I particularly like it, but Apple made a comitment to Java and failed to follow through.
The site was way too slow so a friend gave me his copy.
He'd run the tracking software under wine.
Meh... if government should regulate something it's good driving classes.
Could I say that Linux powers my windows?

that could tell me what predispositions I have to certain diseases.
For reference here is how to do it with Prototype: $$('a').each(function(a){ a.className = 'test'; a.show() }); Indeed Jquery does look more concise.
I worked for b-process.com in 2001 and we implemented exactly this in Java. I also have done similar stuff in PHP since then. It's nothing new.
Stirling engines aren't good enough... otherwise we'd use them everywhere there is heat.

It simply stopped it from going into long term memory.

Too few people let things go by just because their job depends on them shutting up. I'm glad this guy has the power to say no.

Thank you for being so obviously wrong.
