So if I shape it like the head of a bat, like Batman's cowl, I will appear to be one of their brethren, abeit much larger... maybe they will even worship me as fricking huge bat god...... Did I mention that I am paranoid and semi-delusional?... Oh you got that from the comment already...... Good.
My alma mater build a new library with x square feet of space to hold n books.
They needed these figures to qualify the sports teams for the next level class.
To achieve this this feat, they mixed the bound serials and the regular stacks together so that together they had the required n books.
Building the library ruined the funding for current journals, and the stacks were already quite dated.
The only part of the library that seemed to be busy was the inter-library loan where graduate students could borrow books from a "real university" that bought new journals and books.
Since he is a Terran, I am sure Microsoft keeps a handfull of firebats handly to inflict damage thru the zealot's shields with ease. Being immature their damage/shields won't be too upgraded...
Hell, rich as Microsoft is they probably will have some fully loaded seige tanks and fleet of battlecruisers just in case.
'Does this belong here?' That is a valid question to ask. Who is the audience? The other people working on that section of code who know that portion of the code best.
It seems that Simon Lok would have been satisfied if the question had never been asked, since that would mean the developer was confident.
How about we put comments in the code that say, "Rainman style": "Yes, this definately belongs here."
There can be worse assumptions than you being a terrorist. I checked out lots of murder mysteries for my mother, and lots of romance novels for my wife...
Once the Patriot Act people get ahold of my records, they might assume I am a GAY MURDERER!
The PC game market is needed to drive the innovation of both the software (games) and hardware ( PC graphics,etc and consoles ).
Consoles like the X-box are just PC derivatives with some DRM and not upgradeable without voiding the manufacturers warranty.
People who already have a computer capable to play games for non-gaming reason may not want to purchase a console and games. They can update their graphics card or other components to be compatible with the latest games at a fraction of the cost of a console. Regardless of the sucess of next generation consoles, this market will still exist to be served.
I actually attempted a homework assignement in my computer language theory class. We were doing some grammar constructs that were quite tricky. I did 8 out of 10 problems, two I could not figure out.
The teacher gave people who had anything written down for the problems 10 out of 10 points. I only received 8 out of 10 points.
Shortly thereafter I had to hide under the table to avoid my angry professor after I said I could have written "Jack and Jill went up the hill..." and gotten full credit.
We then wrote a few of our "answers" on the board. "Jack and Jill" would have been an improvement over most of the answers written on the board.
I did receive an 'A' in the class eventually, but more from programming/test scores than homework grades.
oooh... do the goole stats for SCO stories.... Never get enough of those!!! And why is their stock still above $3???? Later.... off to keep my vow to stop drinking so much Coke... gonna get me a Dr. Pepper instead.

Just rename it.. oh say FIREFOX...
Nobody important using that name.. least not anybody who isn't used to being forced to change their name anyway *grin*
I liked him better when I misread his name as RipMaster Monkey... sounded more ... well better.

... so does wearing a tinfoil hat help protect you from these robotic bats?
Or does tinfoil help "bounce" the sounds back and give them a better target!?!
It is getting so hard to be paranoid these days.

Are you limiting your future potential to develop code for Microsoft by studying linux code so closely?
Inversely, does one who studies the code for Windows limit their future potential to develop open source code?

If that "Tie Fighter" shaped hairdo of hers was a wig, then I would buy that...so my wife... um yeah... so my wife could wear it.
I definately think the Tie Fighter design was a tribute to that hairdo by Darth Vader.
A cell phone is not a necessity despite what many people think.
Necessities are food, water, and shelter.
Many people in this world do not have these basic things.
Though some of them might own a cell phone anyway.
You and the anonymous coward ubergeek who replied to this need to settle this once and for all.
Benchmark Quake on these for a DEFINATIVE answer as to the superior machine.

Oh, and you are not allowed most places to "booby trap" even your own property.
The only people I worry about are the ones who claim to be sane.
/. mod system only works as well as it does because /. is, as you say, a community and the "sane" outnumber the "jerks" by probably 100:1

That should satisfy Mr. Lok just nicely.

I can't afford even one new video card!!!
I am still running my good ole Voodoo3 3500 w/tv-IN/OUT. For a Linux desktop though, it still kicks major butt!
I remember her.. she was "booed" offstage at my Uni ( few years back) because the crowd wanted to hear the "good comedian" coming up after her...
Didn't really care for any of them.. but the other guy whoever he was, now he was funny!
Checks bank account... I check mine too!
...shit! too...
shit!
And I don't even use Wachovia!
