I fly every week, I have never seen a case of air rage, and I have never lost a bag. I think that the case is over stated.
You've been flying every week for the last...month, between New York and New Jersey maybe?
I fly across the big pond every six months and 50% of the time, baggages do not arrive on time. 25% of the time, they arrive 2 days later. In a few occasions they never arrived.
Usually, air rage happens when someone who has a 12h jet lag and who's been parked for 10h on a microscopic seat suddenly finds out he's going to spend 2 days in the same clothes he had while flying and he's being told to deal with it.
Yes, the system is obviously broken, and you haven't experienced half of it yet.
Can't they just make it work well, for a change? For Windows, that would be the "promised revolutionary technologies" the parent talks about I suppose.
You said it - "standard" time.
We all know how USA likes to not use standard units. Exactly. Everyone knows that timezones like EST and PST aren't standard. Those are civilian designations, and mean nothing to most of the people. EST, AST, PST and such are only used on the american side of the big pond: ask an european how much time offset is "EST" and you might get about 24 different answers.
Counting using GMT (or UTC) would just make sure no one gets confused.

Probably to piss off soviet rocket scientists and insensitive clods all alike.
Indeed. TFA is silly and doesn't show any statistics or figure. My experience is as yours: you can tell a good coder from a bad one, while reviewing code. No way to determine anything else regarding who coded it, besides a little of his/her psychology (the schizophrenic coder copies/pastes everything, the autistic one enjoys one-liners, the depressed one puts useless comments, etc. Nothing serious)
"It's amazing how many "Out of Iraq NOW!" people don't know about this."
It's in 99% of unbiased history books, including school books. Good summary from your parent poster though.
In your link to The Register, the first sentence is
"Death is no obstacle to feeling the long arm of the Recording Industry Ass. of America."
I love how they only shorten "Ass." and not the other words. Definitely not innocent;-)
If you forensic my computer, you may find out it has attempted to kill me multiple times and left my blood all around his dirty, nasty, sharp metallic edges...
I personnally believe Linus to be on a secret mission from the outer space to take over the world as we know it. And uses alien agents to do his dirty "FS" job, whatever that is.
I would disagree about adapting their music to the time. Everything they pull out sounds like a rehash of Ride The Lightning.
This band is done a long time ago already. Plus, they let their celebrity eating their brain cells. That's never good.
If you read the linked article, they are apparently still in "fringe pseudosience" mode (well..it dates from Feb 2006) with no arguments other than "the others have it wrong".
If you're a student of university level and aspire to become a terrorist, you are problably bright enough to NOT keep sensitive documents around where people can see them.
This case is a matter of common sense versus stupidity and knee jerk reactions.
Many here are tired of knee jerking, but apparently you're not.
I'll save some space on the/. signature section for TPM's private key, just as if it was 2007 and earlier and we had X-boxes or other "uncrackable" devices....
True. You also get good finger training if anything else. I've never dared trying to sing while playing but that's indeed a very good idea for practicing.
Let's say it helps a lot to be a drummer. You have the body, hands and arm position right to start with on the drum kit (still akward though), a developped sense of rythm (which others have too of course), you already know most of the basic beats and you already have independence of hands and feet.
In a sense, yes, it's "overcoming ones own natural lack of rhythm" but that's what playing *anything* is to start with.
Having said that, RB is extremely frustrating if you actually are a drummer: there is zero room for interpretation (beside the small solo you do at overdrive time), the drum kit has the drum pads positionned weirdly and no cymbal. It sucks when you want to do freeplay as, although you're adding to the drum section, you lose at the game because you're hitting notes you shouldn't.
Interestingly enough though, the drums are much more close to real drum playing that the plastic buttonized guitar is. You can actually learn something from the drums. You won't from the guitar.
I'm looking forward to see what GH did with this new drumkit.
Check your motherboard. If capacitors look bumped anormaly, your motherboard is dying slowly and is the root cause of your problem. I have experienced those exact symptoms recently, and bought a power supply for nothing...
>> I never understood that. Why do people claim the biggest part of their continued stay in a virtual fantasy world is the "social aspect"? Why continue paying for a game you aren't even really playing anymore?
Hum....maybe *just* because WoW is a little more pretty and easy to use than an IRC command-line interface. Also, probably because there's still gaming involved when you want it.
I fail to see where you're making an actual point.
A simple and good reason for not allowing everyone to run SQL on your database would be that a badly formed query can bring down your database to its knees. Which, from what you've described would rather impair your business.
I hope this will help convince your managers to choose between "restricted access" and "no access anyway because it's dead".

You never talk with people outside your own bubble, do you?

Why is that I have this feeling that "Lawyer", "Incompetent" and "Crook" are oxymorons?

He wrote a filesystem for Linux. That in itself is a good indication of social difficulties.

"Wow everyone's retarded"
That's a pretty gross generalisation, even on Slashdot. I suppose you include yourself in this statement?"and that will spell out a death sentence for Windows Users having a motherboard that do not support it."
There, fixed it for ya.True. You also get good finger training if anything else. I've never dared trying to sing while playing but that's indeed a very good idea for practicing.

I fail to see where you're making an actual point.Judging by your last assertion, you obviously haven't played WoW that much. Hence Troll you will be modded as.
