He did lose in 2000, that's why he's not President now.
Except for the fact that he did win, you are absolutely correct. Watch "Unprecedented." The makers of that film break it down in detail: the illegal blacklists, counting absentee votes for Bush cast days after the election, and the hiring of people from out of state to pose as Floridians and attack the recounters. There was much more. I should know. I live in Miami.
Well, he didn't actually win the election. He clearly lost in Florida and would have lost by more if Katherine Harris hadn't stopped a disproportionatre amount of Democrats in many precincts from voting. There's also that whole thing about people being paid to disrupt the recounts...
He is not my president. I owe him no allegiance. There should have been a revote.
The first mac ever publicly demoed in 1984 actually spoke. It was't actually a 128k Mac. They added some extra ram, but it could speak. I think 7.5 is when the speech recognition was released.
I think that if the other guy is the boss you always lose. Even if you win, he may resent you for life. Even if you get them fired, others will resent you for shaking the boat, or fear you for having shaken their confidence in their job security. There is no way to win unless they are grosly incompetent or criminal. In almost all other circumstances, you will lose too, no matter how much e-mail you have saved up.
A person who gets access to your box could, with the appropriate tools, extract your PW from the preference pane plist and then get access to your box! Oh, I guess they'd already have that huh? ; )
Not really. The entry for the screen saver looks like:
Why BBEdit rocks. Back in the day, I loved BBEdit's MPW integration. Since MPW is no more, I'll stick to those features that are still relevant. I haven't used it in years since I don't work at the same place, but this is what I remember:
Edit over FTP. Great for fixing problems on websites where the host won't give you shell access.
Works with perl. I hear that it works with the perl in OS X now. Before It worked with MacPerl for OS 9. It gives you a real perl IDE with syntax checking and everything.
Regex search and replace. Need I say more?
Unlimited undos - before they became common.
Built in diff. Now I use Apple's FileMerge, but BBEdit's was damned good.
Built in HTML reference form many tags and all ascii entities.
HTML validator.
AppleScriptability.
HTTP download. There was a pluggin that let you doiwnload data from any http url into a text file, headers and all.
Most importantly, I work faster in BBEdit than any other editor. I fell better working. I don't feel like I'm fighting the editor just to get my work done. I use Emacs and JEdit for similar reasons, but for just getting my work done, neither holds a candle to BBEdit. I've requested a Mac at work. One of the main reasons was so that so that I could code in BBEdit again.
If I get the cash, I'll buy it. Yes it is worth it.
At what point should any given project release their code? I'd want to clean up any obvious blunders or "ugly" code before having others examine it. I often get phone calls while coding and put hte messages in as comments. Sometimes I forget to transfer them elswhere and leave things like "// mtg @ 5 Ash" in the code.
You seem to be suggesting that it would be good to release code even if it has errors and junk like that comment in it. Can you identify a lower limit? At what point between an empty file and a completed 1.0 version should the code be released to the public?
It seems like a fair system. You do need to find people who have the time to donate. That is the hard part. Sure they may eventually get paid if the game sells well, but they need to give that time away now not later. Their availability will be limited since they have to feed themselves as well.
I'm sure that you will find programmers who meet these criteria. I just wonder if they will be the right ones to write this game.
Your best bet might be to use SourceForge or something and find a small group of motivated developers and offer distribution to them. That way, you have something to start from and you can tell ahead of time if they are any good. Additionally, they won't mind giving up the time to work on the project since they were going to anyway.
>>> A language doesn't need source; it's a syntax >> Uh. And grammar. >Wrong. Grammar simply describes language's syntax.
I thought that the grammar described the language's semantics. It's been a while since I took either Algorithms or Programming Languages, but that's what I recall.
If price is an issue, get a used handspring (mine was $78, if wish I'd gotten a rechargeable one) and a FREE Sprint phone attachment from Handspring. It's clunky, doesn't ring loudly, and doesn't work with many 3rd party apps, but most of those problems have to do with buying a crappy Visor Deluxe.
Get one with a newer OS and you'll be fine. In two years when everyone has a Sidekick, you'll be able to get one that's more powerful and expandable that the ones available today.
I was thinking (seriously) of a similar plan. A single flawed request -- like sending an IP address - -gets your DNS server banned from the root servers. People who needed those DNS servers will make damned sure that they never send bad requests again. To make this work better, requests for readmittance should be made in writing after the first offence.
I use both windows and tabs. I like the ability to load related links in the background while reading an article. For instance, this is my Slashdot window. It has tabs for each of the stories I want to read. As I read the front page, I middle clicked on every interesting link. Now I can visit them one at a time, knowing that the last ones will continue to load in the background as I read the first ones. I can also switch to another window containing, say, soem programming references. Then I can switch back to the slashdot window. See, tabs can be used to group pages by subject. Yes tabs could be better, but I'd rather have them than not. It's good to look at the tab bar and see that I have four more stories to read. This is not possible using only multiple windows. Tabs help me get my work done faster. I like them.
I've been an Apple customer since the mid 80's. My first computer was a mac plus. I still have System 4.1 boot disks with Crystal Quest on them. I pre-ordered the original 450 MHz G4. Don't tell me that I don't have the right to requests features in an Apple browser. Apple supplies us both with technology. We both have the right to request new features in Apple products. Just because you don't like tabs doesn't mean that they are not useful to other people. I have no use for left handed mice, but you don't see me calling for their destruction.
The one thing I hate about my VisorPhone is that there is no tactile response to dialing. I can't dial one-handed or in the dark.
With a keyboard I can feel if my hands have drifted off center. I know if I'm hitting a key or the space in between. If my hands slide forward for some reason, I can tell because the "B" does not feel like the space bar. I predict this whole idea will flop. Then again, I wish chording keyboards had caught on...
More information about the cards here. The have magneti strips, are slightly flexible, and cheap. I just wonder how fast they are. Will they replace my Zips or DVD-RAM discs?
I do this already. A better system would be to have software on the sending machine that scans all outgoing traffic and auto-blocks it and notifies the admin. It won't remove the worm, but it will stop it from spreading.
It's interesting to see the number of Mac users that don't know the history of their platform claim that Microsoft "copied", when it was their engineers that developed a substantial part of it in the first place!
I've done my reading on the early history of Apple and my information flatly contradics yours. No Microsoft programmer had anything to do with writing the OS. What Microsoft did was to have a large number of applications ready for the new platform. These were developed with the help of Apple.
There is no question that Microsoft copied Apple's design to make Windows.
Apple's decision not to sue was because Microsoft settled with Apple for an undisclosed amount in exchange for not facing any more lawsuits.
Don't forget the German and Italian Americans were also interred in camps. However, in your orgy of hating American, try not to equate the illegal and regretful detainment of American citizens and the systematic seperation from the population and murder of 14 million people.
I don't hate America. The distinction you make is exactly the one I was trying to make. Read the parent to my post and you'll understand. That AC was confusing concentration camps with death camps. I simply tried to clear up the confusion while providing support to the parent of the parent of my post.
Grandparent: It's not a big stretch to see that [the U.S. Patriot Act] could be used to put hackers in concentration camps.
Parent: Do you are saying that the US is going to be putting the hacker race to death by gassing them and then burning them.
My Post: Concentration camps are for mass detainment -- such as what the U.S. did to American citizens of Japanese decent durring WWII. Death camps involve the killing, etc.

And, for those of us who still follow the constitution ...
Aha! I found you. I knew there were some of us left. It seems everyone else has switched to the new "Heil Bush" model of being patriotic.
IIRC most of that money was taken back befire Iraq ever saw it as repayment of debt.

I believe that by "original" Twirlip meant the first Classic as opposed to the Classic II or the Color Classic. At least that is what I understood.

While I've seen some pretty awful C and C++ code out there, it's nothing compared to the horror of amateur Perl or (shudder) Shell scripts.
All professional Perl or Shell scripters were once amateurs. That's how things work. If there are no amateurs, there will be no new scripters.

Actually MS bought a lot of (nonvoting) APPL stock. Which they sold shortly afterwards for a massive profit.
What about "Save this document before quitting?"
This reminds me of the old Hotline "backup servers"
