Dorks should have used a term that actually implies what it will be used for. I use my wizards to smite my enemies. Will a Network Wizard help me smite my enemy networks?
I sure hope so because I have many. All I need now is a Pigeon Wizard for advanced foul smiting.
Gee, wish I had some sort of assistant to help me write this note.
I know a formally trained marine biologist who finished advanced calculus, differential equations, and grad courses and is now employed in the software industry as a programmer.
Whether you think the war is right or not, he is there and feels like he is "serving his country." This is not your average yahoo.
Anyway, he sums it up like this. 60% of the people want us there, 20 percent don't care and would like us to get out as soon as we can and the reamaining 20% are completely insane and un/miseducated fanatics.

Well, from what I saw, the effect was not carried off well. It was not that effective.
What I DID like at the show were the holograms printed into flat surfaces. MIND BLOWING.
Brainball!! (I won). The more you relax, the more you move the ball towards your opponent. It's based on delta waves?
There was also a group of chinese researchers from Canada who were pushed into a corner. They had enzymes you could sprinkle on food that killed all teh bacteria. Very sharp.
And who could miss the Bushhog??
Ugh. I just hate using the word "Bush" in a sentance.

Post a 10-50 thousand dollar bounty on repeat spammers and unleash marshals and bounty hunters on them.
Make it financially desirable for freelance and already licensed enforcement services to bring the spammers in.

Clippy! Oh Clippy! Where are you!
No. Because it's cool and we can afford it.

Sniff. Sniff. I miss 1989.
Beat away. I deadlift over 700 pound.
Your funeral.
frags. Not frag's.
Learn the apostrophe young jedi.
I would have expected you to have passed 4th grade English by now.
A weekly Mac round up is a great idea.
Kudos, beer and swedish bikini team models are being sent your way.
God Yes.
I firmly believe in vigilante justice against spammers.
They have gone far above and beyond the call to be a blight upon society. They deserve to be removed from it.
Different skillsets man.
I know a formally trained marine biologist who finished advanced calculus, differential equations, and grad courses and is now employed in the software industry as a programmer.
I really should learn to focus.
If you consider developing for HDTV or broadcast, you might well be one of those two people.
What is sad is that I lift > 500 lbs and I am NOT huge.
It's not fair I tell you.
His methodology is that he is living through it and this is based on observation.
I'mk too far away to make any assumption on his words except to take it for face value and as his observation, not 100% pure true absolute.
One of my friends is over there in the service.

At the San Francisco Wired Tech fest, the coat was demoed and to be honest, it didn't appear (to me) to work very well.
I'm sure it is in its infancy but you've got to be looking at the subject DEAD ON and with perfect lighting.
This is one technology that looks much better in photos than it does in real life.
If I recall correctly, Timbuktu allowed me to do this in the 1990's
Feh!
Bose-Einstein Condensate cooling.
Get a mac, even a used one, and you won't have to worry about this crap.
And why do we care about the perfect numbers?
In the end, what does this get us?
Please elaborate for those of us who need a reason to care about primes, perfect numbers & the like.
the start of something good.
The precedent has been set!
Now let's get the rest!
Rendered?!
Like when meat gets rendered?
They have worked away their human rights by making themselves a blight upon society.
Can we make veal out of them or ate they too fat and stringy?
