I guess that's ok, if all you need to filter are objects. If I have tabular data emailed to me as text files, and I need to extract a column, what do I do?
You can gc tab-delm-file.txt |% {$_.split("`t")} which will split the file 'tab-delm-file.txt' into objects based on tabs.

If there was no timely correction over the air or favorable story on ubuntu to balance it out, an apology in some dark corner of their website means absolutely nothing.
Microsoft's obvious plant (2 semseters without complaining? yeah right) got to spread all the misinformation she wanted.

Second part is Word isn't needed to type papers. In fact, if I were Professor at a big U, I wouldn't accept.doc files. Print it, or submit in an open standard. Hell, I'd probably require them to be.txt just so people would have to focus on content, and not on making it "pretty".
MATC isn't a "big U" - it's the local technical college (though it often feeds into the big U - UW Madison). I can't actually speak for MATC (I didn't go there) but I never had a professor at UW that didn't accept papers in PDF (though most wanted printed copies instead of electronic anyway).
Why ? Surely whatever we are talking about here allows multiple logins ? I can have gmail open on 2 PCs at once, I can login over SSH more than once.
Of course there can be multiple logins, but if the delay is tied to the session or IP, do you really think the scripters/bots wouldn't just use a new session or try from a bunch of different IPs? That's exactly why botnets are useful - they're massively parallel. In order for the delay to be meaningful, it has to be tied to the account and as such an increasing delay would make it quite easy to "delay DOS" a user.
Perhaps even add +x seconds after every attempt, so your first attempt goes through and fails the next one has a delay of 5s and thereafter its incremented. Most users will get their password correct on the second try or perhaps the third, the script will die a slow death.
The problem with this is that it doesn't prevent the denial of service scenario that the institution of the delay was trying to prevent! If the script is running on the account, the legitimate user now has to wait an incredibly long time to log in.
I'm sorry, but if they can't take the time to capitalize the word "I" on their FAQ page, I can't be bothered to take them seriously. It makes me feel like the prince of Nigeria...
the upside down question mark (whose proper name is "signo de apertura de interrogacion invertido" which, yes, means "Upside down question mark" in Spanish) would be a poor choice in Spanish, since it's already used to indicate the beginning of a question
The sarcasm mark is a backwards question mark, not upside down.
Or as journalists would very incorrectly state "we are light years from that" (hmm, unless they mean the brain scanning center in the Betelgeuse system).
Our planet/solar system/galaxy is moving through space, and at the time we discover said technology we could very well be light years away from the location we are at today.
I'm relatively young, so I haven't put a lot of thought into this, but my best friend knows all the personal account names and passwords I use for everything. He would be able to get into any of my accounts with a few guesses. I don't have a comprehensive list of everything, but the main stuff would get worked out.
And before you security nuts go crazy about telling other people your passwords, keep in mind this is a person I trust above anyone else...even my own close relatives. If I can't trust him, then I must live a truely miserable life of denial full of people who dislike me. I also don't tell him any of the admin passwords at work, as A) other people have acces to those, and B) They aren't my passwords to give out, even though I know he would do no harm (hell he'd probably manage the network better than half our admins...)
Oh, I also know pretty much all his passwords too...so...yeah, he better not try anything:-)

He probably doesn't. But the point still stands that whoever owns the publishing rights really doesn't have a say in whether the recordings are used in Rock Band.
Does that include the lyrics that are displayed on the screen during Rock Band, though?
Does the future of popular music rest with video games?
Wouldn't that be the future of the past's popular music? It's not like Fall Out Boy (or whoever is popular now) is releasing straight to Rock Band before going on iTunes.
If it doesn't object to us turning it off, therefore, it isn't intelligent.
Seems pretty self-evident.
Isn't that presupposing that existence is better than non-existence? Isn't it at least remotely possible that the intelligent choice when faced with the question of existence or non-existence is to not care WHEN it occurs, but to accept that it will happen at some point and to recognize that fighting it is a waste of effort, ultimately?
Lazy? Wow, I think you're asking for it now. Life's too hectic for me to check my kid's Gmail accounts everyday -- I'm busy watching porn and running the meth lab.
See, if you would just trust your kids to run the meth lab then they'd be too busy to bother with Gmail all together.
I think it could be even easier - you're not allowed to disclose that your app was rejected, but can't you just raise certain questions; eg:
"Did I make an application for the iPhone that does XYZ?"
"Did apple reject that application that I made?"
"Was the hypothetical rejection for the following reasons: PPP, QQQ?"
It's not disclosing the non-disclosable information - it's just raising the question as to whether or not it happ

1) You can't "accidentally" find an Ubuntu Dell.
2) Dell support would NEVER say "you don't want windows, Ubuntu works better for you".
3) She took FIVE MONTHS to complain
It's a fake.
It's not so much a fake as a woman rationalizing her decision to drop out of college - "It's not my fault I couldn't make it, I got a bad computer!"
God wrote the Bible in King James, it's the only "real" Bible. The Jews just got an early copy.
So the Jews had the beta and JC was the RC?

first chink in the army
I think you mean chink in the armor. First chink the army would be a rather racist expression :P
The sound effect of the shields in Tabula Rasa was almost 100% identical to the sound effect of the force field bubbles in City of Heroes/Villains.
I assumed it was just borrowed from there.
If this is typical of stuff used throughout... then open sourcing would be very difficult, you'd have to separate everything like that.
It's fairly unlikely the server code makes heavy use of sound effects. :P

AT&T offers the same for DSL, though they don't really advertise it:

From the linked article:
Customers must also order phone service to get the budget-priced DSL service; those looking for cheap, naked DSL should look elsewhere.

Better do it fast before they start synthesizing the stuff. The value of your marrow will drop to zero at that point.
Never underestimate the value of delicious, fresh marrow!

Have you ever met a non-homophobe Muslim?
I don't know, but then again, "Do you hate homosexuals?" isn't really the best conversation starter with a new friend.
Well that's your problem! You're supposed to phrase it "Gosh, don't you hate homosexuals?" so that way they think you're on their side :P
