America voted Bush in. The first time because he was a friendly likable guy and the Lewinsky scandal scoured them on Clinton/Gore. He won the second time because they felt he was protecting them from danger and wanted to give him a chance to win the war. Bush won. Both times. Get over it.
It could't be the fact that both times the DemocRAT candidate were useless boobs.
1st time, they wanted you to vote for Mr. Rogers. Who. talked. like. you. were. an. id--i--ot. You were always expecting him to s-p-e-l-l out words in his interviews to hide things from you.
2nd time, they ran with Mr. "I am a war hero". He was a "war hero". He had all those secret plans that he couldn't divulge because his opponents would make fun of them^H^H^H^H use them. But don't forget, he was a war hero. He wouldn't tell you his side to *ANY* position. And, he was also a war hero. But, most of all, he was a war hero. And don't forget, he was a war hero. Just don't ask him how he got any of his medals, because he was a war hero.
Maybe they should eliminate all of fraud from the redundent socialist programs making up the welfare system. Many of them have more than 50% fraud (like food stamps). They can then put the money freed up into the NASA budget. I'm sure NASA would be able to maintain their coverage with a 10X budget increase.
And what was it's accuracy? What scale did it read in? Did it use the standard celcius scale: water freezes at 100, and boils at 0 (no that isn't a typo, look it up).
At what point were thermometers reliable enough to be accurate within 1/100th of a degree celcius, which is the range that global warming is being measured with.
And that is therefore, a great excuse to NOT do anything about it, since they *might* be wrong. Yeah, cause if global warming isn't real and we switch to clean air and renewable energy sources we will be in REAL bad shape...
And if there is a REAL problem, and it is not caused by your religious beliefs, it will not get fixed by your evangilical preachings, and we could truely be screwed.
During the Black Plague, they thought that witches and cats caused the plague, and killed off a large number of cats, and burned many women at the stake. That was there solution to the problem. Since it was actually carried by rats, their solution of killing the cats ended up making the problem worse than it would have been, since the cats helped to reduce the rat population. They thought, just like you, that what they were doing was the reasonable thing, and if they were wrong, it couldn't make it any worse.
Maybe this "global warming" is caused by fairys, and we can fix it by placing bowls of milk on the porch every night to appease them. It "might" work, so if we don't, we could be in REAL bad shape...
This is Microsoft employees saying their customers, the ones they're supposed to be developing good API's and such for, are pawns and they should never be catered to.
Umm, those aren't Microsoft's customers, those are their competetors.
If you find a profitable software niche, Microsoft will notice and try to take over that business. If they can't take drive you out, they will do whatever they can to make it unprofitable for you.
Look at their past efforts: Compilers, Word processing, spreadsheets, web browsers, virus protection, console games, etc. If someone else has the affront to make any real money on any form of software, Microsoft will do whatever is necessary to destroy them, no matter what the cost to them is, or how long it takes.
I'm always amazed that companies still make "deals" with Microsoft, as they almost always get screwed. I predict that Novel's deal goes south within a year. Microsoft should already have a plan in the works, probably set up long before the ink was dry on the original agreement. So long Novel, sorry to see you go.
I'm going to hook up my dog to one of those retractable leashes, and attach that to one of those generators used for the OLPC. Then, when a squarrel runs across the lawn, I'll generate enough electricity to run most of my appliances. Should work, as long as the supply of squarrels doesn't run out.
We want to test the effects of torturing adult humans to the point of death. Since this research will benefit thousands of people, we are glad to know that you will be available for testing. Your sacrifice will be appreciated by hundreds.
Please come to our office, remove your clothes, and climb into the rend-o-matic. The testing will start automatically when you shut the door.
The more important question is, what proof is there that fetal stem cells would do you one damn bit of good? Organ replacements requires constant anti-rejection treatments, and they are frequently rejected anyway. What makes you think that there would be a way around that for stem cells? once those suckers started to reject, you probably wouldn't be able to remove them, and would likely end up worse than when you started. Using stem cells harvested from your own body (adult stem cells) avoids the rejection problems. Research in that direction, which has already created useful treatments, seems a better path to me than fetal stem cell research, which has created none, even after all the hype.
So much money! That $16 million, over 7 years, divided by 43 groups, comes to the amazingly huge sum of $53,000 per year per group. Why, with that king of money, they could probably pay the salary of 1 person!
My God! They could take over the world with an army like that!
And you will then discover some of the reasons why you should have used ncurses in the first place:
1. Does the cursor jump to the next line when you hit the 80th column? 2. If you type a character in the lower right corner, does it scroll up the screen? 3. Are they going to bring in some non-ansi terminals and expect you to make them all work? 4. Which subset of the ansi sequences are going to be available? Using xterm, gnome-terminal, putty, ansi.sys,...? Which version? They all support different subsets/extensions of the "standard", and have different bugs. 5. What other intresting "bugs" in all the possible terminals do you need to work around?
I'd rather use a library that already handles all the crap.
According to the article: The frisbee shaped rotating six foot UFO was 24 feet in diameter with windows around its edge; it was not spinning; did not have any windows; and was shaped like a cigar.
I'm glad that everyone saw the same object. I wonder why they didn't give a photo or at least a sketch of this object.

IBM set the record for most patents granted in a year for 2006.
More proof that global warming exists, and is caused by man!
How many of those are returns from the ebay reseller crowd?

it's irresponsible to try to cure a disease when you don't know what disease you're curing.
BLEEDING! We need to bleed the planet! That should be good for it! It definately helped George Washington!
How do you know if your "solution" to the problem is just as useful as bleeding, when you don't know what the problem is?
And that is therefore, a great excuse to NOT do anything about it, since they *might* be wrong. Yeah, cause if global warming isn't real and we switch to clean air and renewable energy sources we will be in REAL bad shape...

Which distribution would you use on them?
Some of the public API structures did nothing but rearrange the arguments, call a delay timer, and then call the internal API. Seriously.
Is this one of the reasons why many programs run faster under wine than under windows?
This is Microsoft employees saying their customers, the ones they're supposed to be developing good API's and such for, are pawns and they should never be catered to.

This doesn't sound like a major code review.
i can imagine the final report:
Your code is as secure as a building made from:
[ ] 12' thick titanium walls.
[ ] 6' thick steel walls.
[ ] Concrete.
[ ] Brick.
[ ] Wood.
[ ] Tin foil.
[ ] Paper.
[X] Applesauce.
What if no other culture in the universe is full of "people" trying to force their opinion on all others. They, then, would have no need of radio.
I, for one, welcome out alien overlords.
ok, now we don't need any more dups of that one.
I would still like to know how many they have sold! not shipped, a product can ship 7million units for all i care, but how many did they sell?
Well, there were some 20,000 available on ebay. Do those count twice?

Just write ansi escape sequences to the screen
...? Which version? They all support different subsets/extensions of the "standard", and have different bugs.

If I replace the CPU in a PS3 with the new cell, will I be able to finish a game faster?
What if you design a robot to be abused (kicked, etc.). Maybe, as a boxing trainer.
It's only purpose is to be beaten up. Is it wrong to beat it up?
What was that? Sorry, but I didn't bother reading your post. Could you summarize it for me?
What's thiri bread, and what's wrong with putting butter on it?
