What was your bigest ah ha moment? Did you ever have a solution to a problem that got you excited? Or had you drive in on your off hours/day off just to see if it would work? Or called someone in the middle of the night about?
some people would argue that it shipped on the disc, they should be responcible for it. How do you counter that? If they didnt want it to show, they should have removed it.
I write code. I undersand how it works. There are many times where I will comment out something and never use it. Or just disable functionality instead of removing it. But alot of people have no clue.
Its just another technilogical issue that someone with no understanding about will try to relate it to something unrelated and regulate it bassed on that. The things administraion are known for.
I also get rid of people that too critical of the way we do things or disrespect other members:)
I know I have horid spelling and written gramer. I could care less, anything important has spellcheck. Either way, you are right. Clear communication and consistancy are key factors. If everyone is on the same page and understands my instructions, small spelling errors are not going to be an issue.
Besides, most typed instructions are quick simple commands. Most of my leadership and direction is given over Vent or teamspeak.
With that said, I do have a member that types so horibly that it makes me cringe.
I think some people are going too far with there tin foil hats.
I think we should be able to prevent a company from selling personal information to others. But if one company knows every thing about me, what harm is there. So what if I look at porn in the evening and watch barny in the morning. Its not like I will see more advertising than I already am, it will just be more targeted. If they realy knew me, they would not advertise to me at all. That would be a good thing.
I wish they could figure out who the idiots are that click on every pop up and generate revenu and the ones that dont click anything and adjust advertising accordingly.
Very well said. As a raid leader now, you are in charge of 30-35 people. Not only do you have to make all the decisions and choises listed, but you also have to deal with personal drama and loot distrobution. You realy have to build a team to make it work. If you randomly pick people and make sloppy decisions. People will question your leadership and stop fallowing you.
You also get all kinds of drama that you have to deal with while your leading your crew. "why am I not in the raid" "I can only raid on Wed so save me a spot" "I called in sick to be here, cant i get in?" "I am the best choice for that type of item, I should get it by default" "I have to go eat supper, later" or "i'll be back in 15" "I know im an hour late, Cant I get in" "no i didnt sign up, but im a better player that him, bring me in" "Why didnt my friend get in" "I hate you because you killed a new boss and I was on reservres to a new guy" it goes on and on.
It dont matter much to me. I just auto accept every quest then look up the cords in thottbot or wowhead. run to those cords, do quest, run back. Never even read the story. Just collect the loots/xp/gold and on to the next yellow question mark.
I'm sure some people will eat it up. I'm just not one of them.
We do love to pick on IE, but the issue is more that that component has such a high target area and runs on so many computers. But the truth of it is any component could be just as bad. It easily could have been any other rendering engine that was used and one of there exploits could have been used. Firefox isnt bullet proof either.
Using these as components only compounds the issue. its highly likely that the component wont be the newset version with the newest patches. so one could look at curent fixes and know what the older ones have problems with. What if its a component that does not have auto update and the user never uses the main product. We all know the problems with ie 5 or say firefox 1.0.
I didnt read the details, but i would almost bet that they are using an IE control and dont imediatly know a way to fix the problem. So they are going to try and catch the exploit instead leaving them open to future creative attacks.
I also think the use of the ie control will be the root of many more issues that have yet to be uncovered. If they could run that control in a restricted security setting, it would go along way. If its just for display only, strip it of all security and go on.
If you just treat the entire control as hostile (it is IE isnt it), then it cant suprise you with something new and undocumented.
Im sure its issues like this that introduced IE's use of zones. Not that it handles it any better, but I can see the idea behind it.
and a new mmo market is born. Just as gold sellers and power lvlers and power pvper became a profitable market. Girls posing on webcams with your account info.
Honestly, if you had a girl hanging around you would you realy have a female character? The market for this would be huge.
My bigest issue with this expiring is that we just gave the telemarketers a huge list of numbers to call. they can pull that list today and watch for numbers to fall off so they can call them.
I know people that put numbers on that list that wernt getting that many calls, but now the number is out just waiting for it to expire.
If i ran a telemarketing company, thats what i would be doing.
This whole thing is messed up. They target google because of the big pockets people think they have.
the first issue about Sponsored Links that say Sponsored Link is silly.
the second one about letting others use competitors brand names in search results is a little more complicated. But the fault should be on the people using those keywords and any fines google receives should be passed on to the offending sites.
If i registered a blog on blogspot and wrote hate speach on it. is google at fault? it is there servers after all. I can see them removing it after the parties could not come to an agreement. But the posting of the content is not something you can hold google accountable.
I think someone needs start a campain to poision search results for one large company. make it so any search for that company promotes there competition higher. lets see who they sue then.
Did they just say that the issue with open source was people taking the source code and doing there own thing with it? I thought that was the whole point of it.
Microsoft just needs to force novel to offer a package that conforms to the microsoft deal that does not have the gpl3 code in it. Then novel can offer a free upgrade to gpl3 software.
Or they could require the receiptient to sign something that indicates novel will honor the GPL 3 portions of the contract and Microsoft has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft can redistribute new ones to its customers that already recevied them and say that the other ones are now void with the release of the glp 3. offering refunds to those that wont take the new offer.
Or novel can present them with a updated or current version when the customer does go to turn them in.
And that is still not an excuse. I am shocked that we put people in power like that and then accept what they do as if there was nothing wrong with it.
How can we expect other countries to see the US as a moral country with good people, when we dont elect people that reflect that same image. Our leaders should be examples of the people they lead. Not people we are embarsed to have leading us.
ON the other hand, they are what the people want. enough people support them to get them in office. Im prabably just in the wrong country. But where can I go to escape? How is Canada? is it any better there?
They prabably find that cash dissapears too quickly or some administrative BS like that.
Just ask them why whould they not take cash?. If they dont know, walk up the chain of command. someone should be able to come up with a valid reason other than its policy.
If there is a lid, I put it down too. It hides the nasty bowl that I ever clean and its not realy that much work. that and I have a 2 year old running around...
In the public restrooms, I leave the seat up. too many downies piss all over the seat and i would rather my seat was drip free when I sat on it.

What were you largest challenges or features that gave you the most greif when implementing them in MySQL?
so they move to a country that restricts what they can access on the internet?
Thats exactly what I would do if I was the ring leader of major internet crime...
Where do you draw the line?

I have the same issue on spelling, so I made my signature a disclaimer.

thankyou double click for making this one happen.
They have an open redirector that anyone can use to help hide the destination url.
Normaly I would blast someone for posting fishing links on other webpages, but I would trust slashdot users to not fall for it
My bigest issue with this expiring is that we just gave the telemarketers a huge list of numbers to call. they can pull that list today and watch for numbers to fall off so they can call them.
I know people that put numbers on that list that wernt getting that many calls, but now the number is out just waiting for it to expire.
If i ran a telemarketing company, thats what i would be doing.
Honestly, I wish more companies would inovate then patten new adware methods.
Then use that to keep the others from using it.

ok, so the US government must get a court order to get customer info from ISP's but the record companies dont?
there is just no way that they would do anything like that here in the US....
I think the jump is if they do it out side the US, we should check to see if they do the same thing here.
Did they just say that the issue with open source was people taking the source code and doing there own thing with it? I thought that was the whole point of it.

Money order is the way to go.

Just ask them why whould they not take cash?. If they dont know, walk up the chain of command. someone should be able to come up with a valid reason other than its policy.
Is there a lid and is it a public restroom?
...
If there is a lid, I put it down too. It hides the nasty bowl that I ever clean and its not realy that much work. that and I have a 2 year old running around
In the public restrooms, I leave the seat up. too many downies piss all over the seat and i would rather my seat was drip free when I sat on it.
So this is another case of don't trust user input.
I don't see anything new here, just another trick to look for. Most well tested systems should not be affected.
Unless I'm overlooking something? I'm not am I?
