1.) Put in credit card 2.) Remove credit card 3.) Choose gas 4.) Start pumping gas 5.) Go inside and buy gum, drinks, candy 6.) Come outside just in time for the wonderful *CLICK* (Done pumping) 7.) Remove nozzle 8.) Drive away.
I don't see how that is a hassle. Hell, a lot of the time I see a light turning red, look down and realize that I'm low on gas, fill up and I'm back on the road for the green light.
This is actually a way to check for fake ids. Basically the people who make fake ids don't use a real drivers license number, or they use the drivers license number of your real id. I'm not sure if your birthdate is coded in your drivers license number or if they lookup the drivers license number and query your age from a database. Anyway, I got this information from the Secetary of State for Illinois. I had to sit in on a class that taught you how to check for fake IDs, since I would be serving alcohol at a fest in town, and the lady mentioned that next year we would be using terminals that will check the driver's license number.
Except it was implemented by having three computers on a network, not three monitors on one computer..
I felt that this deserved to get seen in the thread, so I'm using my +1 bonus to mod it up, since I don't any mod points to give. =)
Anyway, I do believe that some of the ports of DOOM did change this so that it worked with multiple monitors on the same machine since the CPU horsepower was now available to do this all on one machine.
I seem to handle things the same way. Like I said, I always seem to forget about that damn handsfree kit. Also, I guess I never have conversations long enough to require the use of one.
I guess it's more of a self consicous (sp?) thing, than a stigma. IF i notice somebody walking down the street wearing one of those headphone/microphone/hands-free gizmo's, I actually think why I don't use mine more often. One problem may be that people don't realize who you are talking to. It's easier for people to notice when you have your hand up to your head, then when you have a small cord running into your pocket.
Actually, in the Chicagoland area I don't see many people using them. Maybe people in thier car use them, but I don't make a habit out of staring at people while I drive.
I don't have an Apple notebook, buy a few of my friends do and I agree they are by FAR the quietest computers I have ever not-heard. =) That shouldn't be a surprise though, all of Apple's latest computers are quiet, almost makes me want one.
I have a Dell Inspiron 8100 and it's quiet as a mouse, until it starts to get hot. When the fans go into high gear, I swear it tries to liftoff. Also, the vibrations from the fans hurt my wrists when I'm typing. Thankfully though, the fan doesn't kick on very often.
No offense, but this is one of the stupiest ideas I have ever heard. When you develop code for a client, the client then owns the code. Simple. If you cannot support your own code, at least they have it so they can give it to somebody else to support and maintain.
Remember though, that your name is going to be associated with that code for all future developers to see. You better take some time and carefully document everything you do. Your code is a personal reflection of you and your work ethic, so you don't want people to get the wrong idea.
I can't remember the title, but it's the one where they spy on this kid and take his code to make their software.... the guy from Shawshank redemption plays the Bill Gates type character, and some nutjob plays the "hero" computer guy. Anyway, Microsoft really is as evil as the movies say, huh?
That moview was Antitrust, and they specifically mentioned Microsoft as being a competitior to the company in question so people wouldn't draw parallels between the company in the movie and Microsoft.
I appreciate the correction. But I can't really see how AOL/TimeWarner was a vertical integration because AOL is only a medium for some content. AOL is a medium for online content, but it doesn't seem like it could be a medium for print, TV, Radio or any other type.
This might sound like a strange request, but you should put your band name and a link in your.sig. I make a habit of going to small bands' websites to listen to thier music and buy thier CDs. The problem is most small bands don't advertise at all, probably do to a lack of funds, but posting on slashdot is free =). I don't go to clubs, I don't like the atmosphere, but that doesn't mean I don't want to hear you.
A movie that came out about 10 years ago had an intermission. I believe it was called "Gettysburg". Whatever the name was, it was about the civil war and was about 3-4 hours long.
They will probably be doing a lot better than AOL/Time Warner/CNN/Netscape/Time because the Compaq/Hewlet Packard merger is a more vertical merger (both companies in similiar marketplaces and business space), while AOL/Time Warner was a more horizantal merger where AOL and Time Warner were in completely different marketplaces. This merger has a chance of actually becoming a successful business.
I have the 15.1 inch XGA+, I believe, running at 1600x1200 at 32 bit color. It is probably the BEST display I have ever used. I will probably never go back to a standard monitor.
Most people don't see the benifit of a high resolution, but I think that I prefer a high resolution because I use multiple small windows instead of one large one at a time.
That is one of his best books. I bought that as a gift for someone, liked it so much that I kept it and bought a different gift at the last minute for him.
Isn't kinda sad that we know that word for word though =)
Actually, Dilbert's girlfriend said that to him. If my memory serves, they were sitting under a tree in a park, and Dilbert's response to that statement was "I'm reading the part about driving the little cart."
Okay, So I was trying to find a way to moderate you comment, but since 'Didn't read the story' is not an option, you'll have to read my response. Bruce didn't have time to answer by email, so he called his answers in, and chrisd wrote them down. So that is why it was written in the 3rd person. Because, it was a 3rd person =)
Slashdot Mirror
Most of the time I follow these steps:
1.) Put in credit card
2.) Remove credit card
3.) Choose gas
4.) Start pumping gas
5.) Go inside and buy gum, drinks, candy
6.) Come outside just in time for the wonderful *CLICK* (Done pumping)
7.) Remove nozzle
8.) Drive away.

Neat idea - but I've got one nitpicking question:
How the hell does DMR stand for "Digital Re-Mastering"?
DMR stands for Digital Movie Remastering

"That can't be the leader! He looks nothing like my beans."
Treason never prospers,
What's the reason?
For if it doth prosper,
None dare call it treason!
I've forgotten who said it and I'm too tired to go search for it.
That quote would be from Sir John Harrington, I believe.
Cute Kid!
I wish you the best of luck, and I pray that you are able to get some sleep!
Hope that he brings you lots and lots of happiness. =)

So, your wife and my girlfriend are they same person, eh? =)
I didn't know it was humanly possible for someone to actually claw through an arm, but my girlfriend proves me wrong time and time again.

I know its been said, and your comment was posted to be funny, but he is a Management professor not a CS professor.
So it is quite possible that he is teaching "How to click on the start menu 304". =)
I have an Inspiron 8100, and I concur.

Am I the only person that can't hear that phrase without having to sing it to myself in a robotic voice? Too many cartoons for this man. =)
