Nice numbers, now how about some reality of living in America. The majority of the people don't own and have never handled a gun, even though they have the right. The vast majority of people will never fall victim to a violent crime in which a gun is involved. The vast majority of people will never take part in or be a victim of a homicide.
Your numbers show that in a very small percentage of the population violent crime is rampant and a serious issue. I doubt that there are many Americans who would argue against this. Econmics is the major cause of these issues, not the 2nd amendment.
Reading this is almost comical. All it is missing is the correct spelling of micro$oft. This has about the same chances of every actually amounting to anything as 99% of the projects on sourceforge. Now that Jedi Knight has been released this has probably already lost interest.
If you had half a brain you would realise that I told you exactly where some of Emacs bloat was. A news reader, a mail reader, silly games, the list goes on. Accordingly, what makes Oracle powerful and not bloated is the fact that it includes none of the above or anything else that is not used to achieve its desired goal, be a database.
I guess you would have to point out where the Oracle bloat is. Are you talking about the Oracle news reader? Or the Oracle mail client? Or is it the built in Oracle Tetris?
Oh, wait, you must be talking about the CD(s) worth of actual documentation! Now that is definately bloat that you won't find in the majority of open source projects.
All of those are toys compared to real productivity applications. Other than Linux how do any of those compare to the complexity of Pro/E, Catia, Oracle (blah blah blah, what about mysql and postgres, oh please), Cadence, SAP and scores of other heavy hitter applications.
Apache powerfull? Well, for a web server I guess it is. But compared to any of the above mentioned products a web server is pretty damned simplistic and elementary. Emacs powerful? If you definition of powerful equates to bloated (99.99% of users use about 1% of the functionality).
Right, check that out because we all know that the reason that Apple is doing this is because they hate 16 year olds. Apple's lawyers have no idea what they are talking about and are simply coming up with an excuse to wage their own little private war against this obvious hacker.
For the most part it's jibberish. They are taking a job that is 99.99999% boring and turning it into a thrilling tv show. It's about as close to reality as a Popular Mechanics cover is. The same covers that envisioned years ago that by the year 2000 we would all have flying cars and cruising the oceans in giant floating cities.
Around here at least it's on at 8pm EST. I'll have to say that that is the sole reason that I haven't caught most of this season, its simply too early for me to put it on when my daughter isn't in bed yet. Originally it was on at 9pm after survivor. But once that ended they moved it to 8. Even when it was on at 9 I would generally miss the first 10 minutes of it because of a 9pm bedtime for the kids.
With Survivor starting again maybe its back to 9pm, but even so I think it's a show that should be reserved for the 10pm time slot, not because I can't dictate what my kids watch but because I do. It's one of the few shows I can really say I enjoy but can be tough to sneak in and no TV show is worth a $400 tivo.
As a parent I really don't see this as a bad thing. Quite frankly, as a consumer its a good thing. The common opinion here is that parents aren't doing their job, but currently if they do do their job what it results in is $60 wasted because of the following scenario:
Kid buys game. Kid brings it home. Parent looks at it and says, no dice, that game is too violent. Parent takes game away. Net result, $60 down the drain.
All I hear is how parents need to be more responsible, well, this helps in that. If it said kids under a certain age couldn't own, then I may have a problem. This is simply forcing a little more effort to be put into the process, and the effort has to be done by an adult.
Why should I price software that I create at anything other than the price that I want. If you can't afford it, then tough, don't use it. Photoshop, Pagemaker, Framemaker, etc are not needed to sustain human life. People don't die because they don't have them. Newspapers can still use other means to create their publications.
There are plenty of other free or cheaper products out there that will remove red eye from your pictures of the kids. If you need more than those programs will provide, then BUY it! Nobody has a god given right to software. We've already given the rest of the world blue jeans and knight rider episodes, why should we be expected to give you photoshop as well?
How are you getting raped? Do any of you remember the days in which cable was available but perhaps you still had an antenae for your TV because you couldn't afford it? Or is everyone here from the ME ME ME generation. It was close to 5 years after it was available in our area that cable TV sat in the back of our minds while our parents debated whether it was affordable or not. If you want cheap internet, goto dial up. If you want fast, then fork over the cash for it. Cheap fast internet is not a God given right to all the world. Deal.
You might trip up the first time, but eventually it would be gotten out of you. Either through fear or drugs or some other form. The point being made was simply that it doesnt matter how strong your encryption scheme is if access to the key can be obtained. If you really think that the key can't be beaten or drugged out of you then you are not being very realistic.
You are safe until they start taking a hammer to your toes and fingers. Or cut off and stuff your own ear in your mouth. Or put a gun to your mothers head. While you may be somewhat protected from the government using such tactics, what about if what you had on your computer in someway incriminated the mob, or monsanto, or someone else (ie, you're a reporter or something).
While its probably a silly movie, its kind of like in the soon to be released Nicholas Cage movie Windtalkers. For those not familiar, in WW2 the US used Navajo Indians to communicate because the Japaneese would never be able to figure out hte language. Nicholas Cage is a marine with orders to protect one of them. He also has orders to kill him rather than be captured. Your encryption is only as safe as your key and through drugs or violence i'm pretty certain just about any key can be extracted from someone.
Is this really needed? Sure, there is a bit of historical significance, but do we really need all of it? 99.999999% of it is crap that will never be needed or used and will only serve the purpose of returning hits that are no longer relevant. How many times have you gone to deja (it'll always be called that by me), done a search, think you've found the answer to a current problem only to find a work around from 1999 which may or may not still be relevant.
If the info was really important it would be elsewhere on the net by now. Most things of relevance have been transfered from usenet to the web and can be found with a regular Google search.
Even the largest of pack rats eventually have to clean house. I use deja pretty frequently and I can't think of hte last time that I've found anything pre 1998 or so that I've found really usefull. And as time goes on things will become even less so.
Spending time and money on this sort of thing really makes me wonder if Google really has a future or if they are still riding the.com wave and is just waiting for the inevitable.
If I wanted I could probably get the AP to circulate that my daughters pet gerbils just had babies. Of course, no one would care and it would never be seen by anyone, unless of course my name is Ted Turner.
The letters AP don't don't give it some magical sign of approval.
You don't know when to use than and when to use then.
but on a serious note, are you sure its an age issue and not an educational issue? I'm assuming you haven't graduated from college, so it could be that having you in a position that most would want a degreed individual in is the problem.
Whether this is still discrimination or not I haven't a clue. If he can argue that a certain title or labor grade requires a certain education (which is fairly common) then you are probably screwed.
Note, I'm not bashing on intelligence here, despite my initial poke.

This is assuming all of the licenses were for a given product. Perhaps it is for 10 products on only 27,000 desks.

Apparently the rest of the world is as ignorant of America as they claim Americans are of the rest of the world.
This will happen sooner rather than later because you'll have starved to death because no one will hire you as a Java programmer.

Oh, I don't know, but maybe 1992 is a good guess?

If you want that, look at the turtle beach audiotron. I love mine.

You can, in your own house. As soon as Microsoft moves there you can do whatever you want with them.

Eating that late is terrible on your digestive system. And didn't your mother ever tell you not to eat in front of the tv?

When they do go under will I get the amount of my subscription that I haven't used yet back? I'd probably get about $4.95 back.

And I was hoping to find a new prog to run on my Counter Striker server! People need to get their priorities straight.
