Shoot the parents instead; the kid will starve in good time and there won't be any new babies to worry about either.
Eh, if my degree in Classics is ever any use, it's to remind people like you that leaving infants to die on their own tends to end up having them raised by shepherds or wolves and coming back to kill you accidentally on the highway...
There's an interesting question... as a card-carrying generalist (yes, we can get jobs), will the kind of stuff I do become more important in an immortal world, or will people simply give up on trying to bridge vastly differing specialties?
Somebody wasn't administering Windows-based networks back in 1999-2000. Ah, the heady days of damaging Office macros...
Microsoft Developer 1: Hey, Fred, let's include in our Office suite a macro development environment that can access the entire OS's API! Microsoft Developer 2: Good idea, Jim, I'll get working on it. This should ensure that even the ditzy office manager can easily create executables that will take down the entire network!
It stops short of demanding that GCC developers strip SCO support from the compiler
Eh? How could FSF "demand" anything of a developer? Aren't all of us absolutely free to port Free software to any platform we choose, provided we distribute in accordance with the license we received the original under? I don't recall a "But Bad People Made the Platform" exception.
Meme 1: Federal income tax is voluntary, so you don't have to pay it if you don't want to.
Federal income tax has always been voluntary. But, "voluntary" does not mean it is lawful not to pay it. It means you report to the IRS how much you made and you send them the money (though they offer and most of us take withholdings as a convenience).
Meme 2: The US Army is unconstitutional because Congress was not granted the power to make it.
I quote Article I, Section 8, Paragraph 12 of COTUS:
To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years;
And, yes, Congress officially "reconstitutes" the Army every 2 years.
Note that Paragraph 13 gives Congress the power "to provide and maintain a Navy" with no restrictions, so the Navy and Marine Corps do not need to be reconstituted every 2 years.
It's been pointed out often but it bears repeating: BSD won their lawsuit too, for all the good it did them. All it takes is one or two quarters of businesses' holding off on a Linux migration and we'll end up like BSD: a bunch of hobbyists and cranks who do great stuff but never get to take it anywhere.
Why don't the laborers get together and draft a plan for outsourcing the management and send it to the board of directors? Point out how much American managers make in comparison to Indian managers and how much you could save by switching.
Yeah I thought that, until I screwed up my partitions on my quad-boot laptop (#$%&ing parted...) and had to do a full restore with the restore disk to start clean.
The restore disk for my Toshiba Sattelite actually boots to Windows 98 and runs a very involved "installer" program (which seems to spend most of its time verifying that this is actually the laptop that the disk shipped with and not some other laptop that I'm trying to pirate Windows XP on). This seems a lot more complex than just including a Windows XP disk and a drivers & bundled software disk, and it would be hard to imagine Toshiba having a reason to do this that doesn't involve keeping MS happy.
Anyways, it's not *that* much of a hassle as long as you remember to backup your data to external storage (thanks to the CD-writer), and the second time that happened I just canned the Windows XP part of the quadruple boot and replaced it with SuSE. I'm much happier now.
Sorry, did I miss something? Computers, particularly notebooks, have been coming with only a "restore to the original settings" CD for years. That's why you need to acquire a partition manager to dual-boot.
I was thinking of (as I mentioned) classical geometry where about 75% of the proofs in, for example, Euclid's Elements are proofs showing that the existence of X implies premises contrary to the axioms (which, like an early EULA, are accepted by reading the book). Therefore, X cannot exist. QED.
That's hardly a "basic rule of logic"; reductio ad absurdam is one of the most basic kinds of proof.
Remember geometry in high school? You probably proved that no triangle has interior angles greater than 180 degrees. Proof of a negative. Where did the ridiculous claim "you can't prove a negative" come from, anyways?
Now remember, these 'pirates' are paying, they're just paying lump sums instead of recurring fees, and they're paying them to someone else. That's the problem, from DTVs point of view, if they would just look at it clearly.
Wish I still had mod points, but you're already at +5 anyways. Bingo. DTV's subscription model is being undercut by a cheaper competitor. The free market still works.
Wasnt this what the Czar of rome said when his former ally Brutus stabbed him in the back?
A: He's usually called a "Caesar" not a "Czar".
B: He was stabbed in the crotch, not the back.
C: According to Plutarch he said kai su, teknon; according to Shakespeare he said et tu, brute.
B) No other collaboration tool for the same cost or less impresses management
It's funny, I've noticed how in love PHB's are with exchange because of all the bullet-points it has.
But when I think about it, I've never seen an office use exchange/outlook for anything but email and signing up for the conference room on a single public calendar.
.NET's reflection capabilities strike me as a bit cooler than Java's. IANAJP and IANA.NETP, but it looks much easier to emit.NET bytecode on the fly to the CLR than it is to emit Java bytecode on the fly to the VM. If I'm wrong about this, I'd love to be corrected because I want to be able to do that in Java.

Is 2 a 'truly' random number or is it only fakely random?
Hmmmm... has Boies ever won a case? Just curious. He must get his rep from somewhere...

You're close. It's actually fellatious in that the more they push that license the more I want to shove my dick in their mouths.
12.5 cents American = 1 bit

Drive from Sacramento to Ocean City (or vice versa, depending on which coast you're starting on) on US 50. It's a great time.

Funny, when I launch my browser I get dozens of X10 camera pages randomly sent to me without asking for them.
You've been spoiled by popup-blockers, I guess.

Maybe not Linus, but his wife sounds good enough at karate (or was it Tae Kwan Do?) to do the fight scenes.

Sound advice for any developer: if they're wearing clothes, they're not your end user.
No, they leave that to Wilson Goode.
