Me neither. At the bank I work at, my manager keeps wanting to get us developers more and more access, not less. The more we have, the quicker we can do our job.
It would have fined youths under age 17 $25 for renting or buying video games designed for adults - those rated "M" for mature or "AO" for adults only. The law also would have required stores to post warning signs about the fines.
If they're under 17, wouldn't the partents pay the fine anyways? thus not teaching the kids a lesson. Stupid law, glad it's dead.
My mom always complained, and I've finally matured enough to see why. I used to have decent hand writing. But now that I've gone thru comps sci in college and site 8 hours a day at work on a pc, my hand writing sucks. I find myself printing always, no cursive. I find myself abbreviating and using those stupid instant messaging shorthand. It's terrible. The most annoying part is I can type 100+ wpm, and can't write anywhere near that, so I am thinking about the next sentence before I've even handwritten the first... and thus a lot of times I loose my thoughts. Good news for me though is that I don't think the art of good hand-writing is coming back anytime soon, so I think I'll be ok.
But although being the ultimate reference, reading the source code cannot replace a thoughtfully structured and well written guide that gets you started.
Agreed, especially when the source code you're reading isn't your own. I claim that 99% of programmers who are not me write totally obfuscated code. Damn them!

Trinity: How much like it? Was it the same OS?

that in order to replace gasoline, 97% of the land mass of the US would have to be nothing but corn
Irregardless, the ethanol effort to me seems not to replace gasoline, but only supplement it. Thus, we're not talking about cars running on 100% ethanol, we're talking 85% max, and many cars less than that. Thus, I do believe the 97% of the land mass statement you mentioned is a vast overstatement. Plus, the US I guarantee will not be the only country growing corn to contribute to the ethanol supplies.

Vinod Khosla Talks Ethanol

· Score: 3, Insightful
I think all new cars will be supporting e85 gas (85% ethanol) within 10 years, but the most commonly used will still be the 15% stuff, cause of all the used cars on the market that can't handle e85. The biggest issue is going to be getting e85 gas stations out there (of course, as more and more cars start supporting it, more and more stations will popup). Here in Wisconsin, I've seen several e85 stations pop up in the last handful of years, so that I now know of 5 e85 stations within an hour of my home.
Nokia has yet to announce plans to develop mobile devices based on Linux, although it has introduced "selected open-source elements" such as JavaScript, to its S60 phone.
Meanwhile, back in America, a perfect storm of rent-seeking behaviors by entrenched players, a broken patent system, a lack of substantial corporate oversight, and old-fashioned executive greed threatens to drown the fabled "two entrepreneurs in a garage" just as surely as those two guys helped sink the blue sky research labs of the Cold War era.

I've never had a boss worried about IT staff

But from a corporate perspective, Red Swingline staplers are a fire hazard.
The software, Live Surface
Somebody research it for me. It's academic, so it has potential???
oops, did i say nano? i meant nano-tiny
vim is just too pretty for me, i prefer nano
I want to see Office Max & Best Buy start selling Beowulf clusters off-the-shelf to their customers.
Getting the two companies to talk to one another and work together has been requiring mediation by neutral parties
Seriously people, this is computer software we're talking about, not Israel and Hezbollah. I think they can come to a compromise pretty soon here.

Nothing more obfuscated than C++ for loops like this one ...
;i++) { if(i 50) { k+=i ; continue ; } break ; }

JavaScript? Woot-Woot, I'm excited. Aren't you? Blah.
Ubunutu? Can we get an editor here?
Sadly, the editor is not the only one that spells this wrong. Take a look at a google search. approximately 25,000+ results can't be wrong, can they?

Does this imply that any porn star named Barbie has to change her name (again) before starting up a web site?
What about all the pron stars named Furby?
Well, since I overloaded the + operator, that truly is a puzzle!!!
Actually, why not add a thermometer (thermal sensor) to the palm rest of the mouse
Sure, and add a pulse reader too, just to make sure you're not dead.
Just as Sony has talked about the PS2 having a ten-year lifespan, Huang believes that the PS3 will also last ten years
... cause I'm sure it'll be pricey!
So, we're talking about perhaps a 2016 Release Date for PS4? Just making sure, so I can start saving up my $$ now
