Just imagine, you're an alligator, and you got owned by a snake.
It's not bad enough that it ate you, but now you're hanging out
there on display for the whole swamp to see.
it would be like me moving to france and starting a city in the country and considering that city part of the u.s..
That reminded me of a French comedy, about a French guy who believs he's actually American (at heart),
but after the American embassy refuses to take him, he turns a housing lot
in France into a self-proclaimed American state.
Furthermore, it betrays Allchin's revisionist approach to history. Whatever happened to telling it as it happened?
I don't think history has ever been told like it happened.
Unless you're referring to something Allchin said about promising
to tell it as it happened, I think what you said is a strawman.
That someone would prefer not to mention something that
they find embarrassing doesn't make them a history-revising fascist.
If I accidentally miss the urinal when I'm pissing, I don't go around
telling people about it.
It is a business. They can't do what they please, but they
certainly don't have to release a documentary on themselves, especially
when it'll obviously be scrutinized by Michael-Moorean Microsoft bashers.
I admit to being kind of disappointed when I heard that about Larry.
I know I shouldn't've been. I tried rationalizing it at first by assuming that
he was probably playing on words as he always does, you know, like
I hadn't paid careful enough attention to what exactly he said.
Like, "Of course I'm a Christian. Aren't we all? *wink* *wink*"
I also generally try to consider that someone may have trouble expressing
certain things and that using religious language may be the only, or the most
convenient, way they have of communicating these ideas; or that the language
they're using is metaphorical.
But I don't think anymore that that's the case with him, because
what he's said isn't ambiguous or pantheistic. He's specifically said,
for example, "And I am personally convinced that Jesus stands at the heart of
the story." (See question #7 of this Slashdot interview for context.)
There's no way you learned M-theory but had trouble with Dijkstra's article.
His use of English was perfect, so I don't see what his being Dutch had
to do with it.
Can someone explain why this exists? I thought Firefox/Thunderbird/Sunbird[/Nvu] were basically better versions of what existed in the original Mozilla platform? Why is this continuing to be developed? Who is their target audience here?
Me, for one. I personally find Firefox (on Linux at least)
to be unpolished compared to Mozilla. I was very
disappointed when Mozilla announced that the browser for Seamonkey would be discontinued in favor of Firefox. (Also
because of the fork, the XPCOMs diverge, making writing extensions more difficult.)
I cannot tell you how angry I was with them for not teaching me this until well after integral calculus.
Did you also hold your breath until your face turned blue?
I had a physics prof say that getting
a Bachelor's in physics is less about learning physics than
about learning how to think analytically. You're not in
the course so that profs and grad students can give you
a wink, a knowing smile, and the secret password;
you're there to learn how to think. Besides that,
the world isn't perfect, and your profs aren't omniscient
beings with an infinite amount of time. They're living
and learning too, and they can't all be perfect for all students.

You might be right that he's not a functional programming
guru, but I think your argument is a bit of a strawman.
On the book site,
he says "Higher-Order Perl is about functional programming techniques in Perl. It's about how to write functions that can modify and manufacture other functions." It doesn't say
it's about functional programming in general, or how to be
a good functional programmer, but how techniques from functional programming can be applied to Perl.
In any case, you might look at for example
this message, or this one or this one to decide if he knows enough about functional
programming (I couldn't tell you).
My dad's wife plays these kinds of games hours every night.
It's like she's in a trance. And my mom's husband plays
solitaire every day before going to work. I don't understand
what makes them play these games over and over.
If anyone has seen the sex scene in "Team America" between puppets then you know what the "Hot Coffee" mod looks like. Except the mod doesn't even bother to make either participant naked. CJ keeps his clothes on, his girlfriend wears underwear.
I haven't actually seen the Hot Coffee thing,
but there is a regular mission where you follow
a woman to a sex shop to find her dressed (overflowing from)
a leather outfit, and pick up a "gimp" suit. Then after she gets home you wait for the real gimp to show up, shoot him
(and pick up the dildo he was carrying as a "weapon")
and pretend you were the gimp. (After the house rocks
around for a while, she becomes your girlfriend.) I don't see what could be in the Hot Coffee mod that is so much worse than that (though I personally just find it amusing).
GTA:SA now has a patch available for the PC version that fixes some bugs and blocks the Hot Coffee mod. I haven't heard of anyone unbundling the patch to apply the bug fixes and not the mod blocker.
It really has some annoying bugs (on my computer, at least).
Sometimes the mouse stops working, and a few times everything
froze up requiring a ctrl-alt-del to stop it.
Saying "I'm a programmer, I don't need to know how to spell" shows how little some programmers understand what it takes to be taken seriously by regular people
I've never understood how programmers could be bad spellers
or bad with grammar. I don't mean a typo here and there, but rather for example consistently writing
"depricated" or "rediculous". I just wonder how you can be
sloppy in written communication while at the same time be a
good programmer (though I've seen plenty of examples that
prove it is in fact possible).
We eliminated most native Americans in a few decades.
A lot can happen in a millennium (or more, I'd guess).
Diseases, famines.. even if you're stronger
and more advanced, circumstances can work against you.
Maybe Neanderthals were in fact smarter, but they were
less aggressive or got depressed like that robot in
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

An opportunity that sometimes, not always, comes up in chess, which is clearly what the original poster meant.

Why do I care about his opinion? I mean, okay write a blog on your experience, but don't try to pass off your advice on what "a lot of jobs" are like.
In my humble experience, the secretaries are usually the only ones who should have any authority.

I was expecting a "spoof site poking fun" to be, you know, funny.
You're either an ignorant troll, or MJD himself trying to see how many defenders he has. :)

Yet another reason to use Mozilla.
