Can someone please give examples of when a book converted to a movie was anywhere near as good as the book? Some are satisfactory conversions... but I have never had one instance where a good book became a better movie...
I was simply trying to make fun of the fact that the story used line counts as a validation of how one is better than the other... In C, you can take a 20,000 line program and put it all on a single line... since C doesn't need linefeeds... so does that really make it better?
Your 20,000 line Java code can be replaced by my one line C code... beat that! Clearly one line doing the same thing as 20,000 lines means C is superior...
I mean, sheesh... line counts make things better? pleeeze...
For the next 7 years, should we expect everything to be 'mini?'
I dunno... but for the last 7 years I've been getting called 'mini' by all the women I've been dating... I guess they just really like technology, and really got into the lingo... right?... RIGHT???
What's the point... I can't get other people's GMAIL account/password info without already having a GMAIL account in the first place... And everyone knows, the goal is to get yourself a GMAIL account if you don't already have one...;)
I thought it was going to say that he somehow mated his graphics/CPU chips to the grilling plate of a Foreman and used the heat to grill things.
Far cooler IMO.
Yes... working 16 hour days at my last job, we would sit and play xbox (tony hawk 4) for half hour at a time...
now being sleep deprived, over worked, and only having Tony Hawk 4 as an escape, on my walks home from work I would actually attempt to grind curbs (but I didn't have a skateboard)... resulting in some nice injury... I believe that is the definition of too much gaming... or is it too little intelligence... not sure...
Too much... stop it... this is starting to get excessive... Stop doing studies and wasting energy on this...
The simple solution is to let the people decide what they want... no amount of government intervention will stop the inevitable... It might slow it down for a few years, or even decades... but eventually the people will revolt in such huge numbers the government can't do anything about it...
Isn't our business model 'The strong survive, the weak parish?'
Free? No... the term 'free software' is misleading... it isn't really Free... there is all sorts of revenue tied to products that either use said free software, or support for said free software... heck even the hardware that runs the free software is tied in... so it shouldn't be on usage, but rather revenue... since the software generates a lot of revenue... think of how much revenue iTunes generates Apple... and they don't charge a dime for iTunes... same sorta idea...
Okay... ham radio... wow... we should all be impressed... how about using said car batteries and other forms of power to power the damned cell sites... much more useful... not everyone has a ham radio at their disposal... but I'm sure you'd find a cell phone, even in poverty stricken areas within a 5 kilometre radius...
Great idea, but they are probably under some non-competition clause in their contracts... thus won't be allowed to do any TV show that is similiar to TSS... sucky, sad, but very true in the industry...
Hell as a software developer I can't work on all sorts of stuff because of prior jobs I've held.
better still... I use the internet to actually socialize... It allows me to talk to 5 to 10 people at the same time much more efficiently than I could on the phone, or even in person... Bless chat programs...:)
Oh... yeah... IE is great... no need to change it until longhorn...
so what exactly processes HTML in windows again? Some third party plugin? No... IE? ahhh... what a shame... and here I thought that there was no need to do anything to IE as it is so perfect...
Why bother to sign in to passport when each user will only run windows longhorn, and each user will have their own account, and the current active account can be queried by the website via some new fancy secure API initiative that will be in longhorn... thus forcing everyone to have to run longhorn in order to do so much as use ebay or amazon...
or perhaps I am suffering from wearing a tinfoil hat too much... but I think I might be on to something... replace passport with something directly tied to windows that users have no choice in, since their machines have unique ID's, as do their accounts... they will not be able to be anonymous on the web, and said info will be used to make browsing easier for average joe q. public, meanwhile identifying every user out on the web... really sneaky...;)
It's not the amount of data that a program references to create a result, it's the precision of it's result that matters... if it can do it with relatively little data, then it was designed/implemented by someone who knows what they're doing...
LMAO... actually I do have a girlfriend... I just figured it would gain a laugh...
but to answer your quesiton, "What are you going to do with her when you get her?"... that's easy... I just used all the money I make by being a geek (ahh... software development...) to distract her while I watch my Star Wars collection... that way she's happy, I'm happy, and I don't have to even last an hour...:P
It sucks that they shutdown the web sites... but IRC will forever remain the unstoppable force when it comes to obtaining illegal files... whether it's FTP, or torrents... IRC will always have the info available...
Perhaps it's a good thing that the websites are being shutdown... Napster became too popular, killed the free MP3 system... The same thing happend to DirecTV and DISHNET... too easy for joe q. public to obtain pirated signals, again too popular...
If we keep the methods of obtaining illegal things difficult, it keeps the popularity down, and more or less off the radar screen...
Now I personally stopped pirating a while back... but my reasoning for it in the first place was the challenge... Now a days it's just a click here and a click there, and presto... what's the fun in that? I enjoyed the challenge more than the results... besides... 99% of the illegal stuff out there is GARBAGE anyways... and the stuff that isn't you need to purchase to actually use it...
Is that transparent or translucent... cuz if it's transparent how the hell do you even know if they are there? Sounds like one hell of a good sales trick... "Trust me... it's there... now hand over the thousand bucks!";)
I can't believe that you removed a FREE service that I liked and used and replaced it with another FREE service with lesser features... I'm sure you will release the old service as a pay service... how DARE you try and make money...
It's actually spelt 'McAfee'... unless of course you want to make your own company call Mcaffee and try and compete in the inter-planetary anti-bacterial computer security market... I hear it's just starting to pick up...;)
I remember back in my electronics course when we had to design the flip-flop grid for memory... the teacher said he'd give 100% to anyone that could draw out 64K of memory... 13TB just makes me cringe...

I like the 5-stable 6-current... I think we should apply it to Microsoft OS releases too... hmm let's see...
:)
Dos 6.2-stable
Windows XP- no wait...
Windows 98- no wait...
Windows 2000 - current...
there we go...

Don't you mean Far Warmer ???
1. Use bittorrent
2. Get rid of centralized tracking...
3. ???
4. Profit...
What the HELL is 3???? Seriously... I don't see how to make money off this... I know it's gonna make a boat load of money... but how???
Lucky you... I caught myself after I was already up on two wheels in the turn...
Ladies and gentlemen a Chevy sprint (oh the irony of calling it sprint) does not handle 90 degree turns at anything faster than 20kph...
