Not to be an ass, but since when is programming inventing? It's no more inventing than art (painting, music) is. Art has always been a category that lone creators are part of.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - paleontologist Stephan Jay Gould was found dead in his home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to the scientific community. Truly an American icon.
That because there is nothing wrong with Windows. The software does what it does good. i.e, plays games, runs productivity software and is generally easy to use.
The problem is Microsoft and their pricing scheme, EULAs and general nastiness. If the software portion of their business was run like their hardware portion (keyboards, mice joysticks), they would be much better company.
You probably have the older hardware version of the mouse. After mine died and Microsoft sent me a new one at no cost, bless their little hearts, my jerking problem went away. Turns out they sent the newer version with a higher sampling rate. Not had a problem since.
I'm talking abut tickets recieved during the line of duty. Getting a ticket, while speeding to a call is just plain rediculous. I cant imagine a Police department penalizing an officer for speeding on his/her way to an emergency call. For christ sake, am I the only one that thinks the concept is ridiculous?
The tickets are sent to the registered owners of the vehicle. That is a fact. If the registered owner (IE the city) decided to try and make the officers and medics pay, even though they were on duty and it was perfectly legal for them to run the light, then the officers would raise hell (oops! profanity!) and I assure you, they would not take it.
To quote the article "At that moment, a fellow officer whizzes by, waving."
Does that mean he has his lights and sirens on and is on his was to a call? So far that is one ambiguous example. It also does not prove if the Individual officer got the ticket and had to pay it. In fact, in the entire 5 page article,there are three sentences to back up your claim, and even then, they are sketchy at best.
The tickets are sent to the registered owners of the vehicle. Do you think that when the various city facilitites get these tickets, they actually check to see who was driving the vehicle at the time, and try to get them to pay the ticket? Hell no. The poster is full of shit.
As an additional point there is no way a sane EMT or Police officer is going to drive only the speed limit if they are headed to a serious emergency call. Give these guys a little credit, you think fear of a 75$ ticket would stop them from doing their jobs correctly?
After three years, including taking the pilot for that english class, I have not had to pay one lab fee, although it may be covered under tuition. However, two items alone show up on my bill: 1)Tuition, 2)room and board.
At the UMBC campus, everyone uses the labs. You cannot graduate without taking several classes that require the use of the labs, the least of which is freshman English, where the curriculum is being moved to be totally technology oriented and taught out of a lab. The x86 machines in the labs and the library dual boot a custom version of Redhat and WinNT. All of the non-x86 machines have either Redhat or Irix. I think there is somthing to be said for a)choice and b) not ramming *nix down everyone's throat just because you don't like Microsoft. It called being well-rounded. All of the poor sods who have non-technology jobs when they graduate and go of to their cubicles will likely be using something microsoft based. Why not teach them something they will use in real life when they get on the job, whilst still educating them to the alternatives?

Well you certainly dont consider West 3 art, do you??

So it tests for Galvanic Skin Thetans?
In the article, the redlight camera was in a car, controlled by an Officer. Dumbass.

This is complete and utter bullshit.

Interesting concept.

and the school bookstore at UMBC offers most of microsoft's current software for uber-cheap.
MS Office XP Professional (3CD) 14.95
MS Windows XP Professional (2CD's) 14.95
MS Office Mac OS X - (1CD) 9.95
MS Visual Studio.NET Pro (5CD's) 24.95
At prices this cheap, how can you not buy it? Even just to tinker around.
Looks quite a bit like Tribes 2, which has been out since ~May of last year.
