Anyone with no TV can expect a lots of visits to check.
Not really.
I haven't had a TV for five years. They sent me lots of threatening letters for the first couple of years, and I diligently responded to them.
After a while, I got sick of ansering their increasingly aggressive letters (huge bold font "What will YOU do when we visit ELMS CLOSE?"). When I stopped answering, they stopped sending. We had 1 (one) visit from them, about three years ago. My wife was too busy with the kids and said she didn't have time to let him in, but that we don't have a TV. He said thanks, and left. We've never heard from TV Licensing since.
Ha. I knew it. Part of the definition of "good exercise" is that it has to be boring.
I guess that heart beating and sweating and stuff for easily the recommended 15-30 minutes at a time isn't enough... it overloads the easily-overloaded "fun" receptors on the heart and other muscles and cancels out all of the other benefits. The fact that I'm feeling better is also an illusion brought on by excessive fun, which can of course cause hallucinations.
I assumed you were talking about sex. Reading the parent, I find out that you're all talking about something called Dance Dance Revolution. How very... slashdot.
Typical/. hypocrisy. When you misappropriate IP in the form of music, movies, and software, you say it's not "theft" -- but when someone does the same to your website, you call them thieves, and get all up at arms about it...
You just need to understand that this is one of those irregular verbs; I exercise fair usage, you plagiarize, he has just been arrested under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
If you've ever watched a football game, you'll notice that the coin always hits the ground. This is done for at least one reason, to prevent tampering by the tosser
Look, referees have a hard enough time as it is, without you throwing in needless insults.
Take your pick. Meet the Feebles springs to mind first.
Actually, Meet the Feebles is my favourite of his films. I'm guessing you've never actually seen it, because anyone who has seen a puppet trying to save the show by singing about sodomy, which is rhymed with, "you might incur the wrath of god on me", would agree that it is genius.
It's not *exactly* test driven, but gcc has a very extensive test suite, and adds regression tests for every new bug that is uncovered. The project certainly passes your 50kloc specification!
This has been known for a long time, in the early 19th century, Coleridge published a poem about Xanadu - see the following snippets:
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea. So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree,
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
So, we see early in the poem, beautiful, fertile ground. Later in the same poem, we read that:
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice !
So, this research is not novel, such climate change has been known for almost two centuries:-)
I met Tereshkova once. When I was about 14 (about 1993ish), I went to a "space school" at Brunel University in London ("reserve your seat of learning now") and she was the guest of honour.
In fact, she invited any of us to visit her if we were ever in Moscow, and said she lived at "Number 5, Red Square"!
I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. I will buy all 5000 copies of Eisbrecher's album, and copy "Duke" onto all 10,000 blank CDs.
Now for the truly evil part the scheme - I will replace copies of Eisbrecher's album in record shops with my Genesis version, and the poor shoppers will be dumbfounded and confused when they put it into the CD player, and don't hear the music they expect. When they check the label, they will be even more confused! Ha ha ha!
I sent some feedback on the original article, and pointed out the serious errors in the story, as well as the fact that they mentioned a "computer programme[sic]"; even here in England we say "program".
I also mentioned that their description of SCO receiving millions of emails bringing down their website was incorrect.
I just checked their site again, and both of those errors have been corrected. Sadly, the factual errors remain.
I mailed them and they won't even allow you to develop with the free edition and deploy with the commercial edition
That's because you could buy one commercial license and have your other 1,000 programmers using the free edition.
As I understand it, the reason that the windows version of Qt has different licensing from the other versions is that many people were using the free version for their internal development (which the majority of software development is), so they were theoretically GPL, but never actually released. Therefore no money for Trolltech. And their bottom line does matter - they're a company.
Put simply, Decamino wouldn't look through Galileo's telescope because he _knew_ that Galileo is wrong; the paradigm that allowed for the earth to move out of the center of the universe hadn't yet come to pass.
There must be some new meaning for the word "simply" that I am unaware of.

I know (from experience) that it takes no more than five minutes to explain left- and right-clicking to a three-year-old child.
So send someone to fetch a child of three.

Duchovny jumped the gun....

Sounds like Popeye finally grew up.
Oh dear - after a comment like that, I'll never find work again.

Perhaps the moderator thought that, since you were asking about heavy-duty warming, it was flame bait.
That was a joke.
>>These people are not God's
Are you saying that they're with the other side?
Now before you all toast me [...]
I'm English, so I'll raise a toast to your comments.
We've all heard the standard flamewars:
vi vs Emacs;
Gnome vs KDE;
Linux vs BSD;
Free vs Open;
Windows vs Anything.
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present the granddaddy of them all...
Lego vs Meccano
For a second there I thought you were suggesting that Asimov's world had come to life:
Something tells me that people probably aren't the target audience of the film anyway.
Rimmer : Step up to Red Alert!
...
Kryten : Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
And saying so to some
Means nothing;
others it leaves
Nothing to be said
