I think that anyone who rejects science should not be allowed the benefits of science: no cars, no TV, no modern health care, no computers, no electric lights, etc. They should be forced to live like the Amish and only be allowed to drive horse driven wagons.
I want to know why the Cardinals get to pick the new pope? Why not the Mets or the Braves? It seems so unfair to have a mediocre baseball team picking the new pope.
Yes, it does look better with returns and tabs, I was just to lazy to add them back in after I cut and pasted the code in. Anyway, my point is computer language is a natural language to those who speak/write it even if it looks like gobbeldygook to the uninitiated.
As for Perl vs. PHP its just a matter of: Do you want the HTML in the code or the code in the HTML?
Hey, this looks natural to me:
if ($dataarray[0][4] ne "endinfo"){
print "endinfo doesnt match\n";
}
if ($dataarray[0][1+$infonum+$comnum] ne "endcoms"){
print "endcoms doesnt match\n";
}
if ($dataarray[0][2+$infonum+$comnum+$quanum] ne "enddata"){
print "enddata doesnt match\n";
}
# set up infoarray
for ($i=0;$i=$recordnum-1;$i++){
for ($j=0;$j=$infonum-1;$j++){
$infoarray[$i][$j]=$dataarray[$i][$j];
}
}
# set up comarray, includes name and contact info: 0-5, 6 = other? comment
for ($i=0;$i=$recordnum-1;$i++){
for ($j=0;$j=$comnum-1;$j++){
$k=$j+$infonum+1; #($infonum-1)+1+1
$comarray[$i][$j]=$dataarray[$i][$k];
}
}
OK, combine all the rumors: Apple cell phone, wireless iPod, iPod with expanded features and what do you get? An Apple version of the Blackberry. Face it, the Blackberry is a good idea, but how many executives really learn how to use the wierd keyboard? And the storage space for e-mails is miniscule. I predict an Apple mini-hand-held-computer-phone-wireless-e-mail-clie nt. Will wait for C&D order to see if I am right.
I am still reluctant to use G-Mail because of the "ads based on content" concept. Do you think people would be willing to store their data and files on a system that already is scanning content? If I store what is on my hard drive on Google will I start getting bombarded with ads for big-uns.com???
Face it, the Bush administration does not understand science or space exporation. The following is an actual quote from George Bush while he was govenor of Texas:
"Mars is essentially in the same orbit...Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe."
I work at an office that is attached to a major university and we regularly get educational discounts on software we buy. They sell education priced software at the university book store and you are supposed to have a student or facultly ID to buy it, but I'm not sure if they check. I'm sure the sticker is for sales purpose more than use. I don't see how they would control use once the software is bought and installed. If you live near a major university it may be worth checking their bookstore if you are buying high-priced software. It is usually about 1/4 to 1/2 of regular price. Just use your old Jedi mind trick on the sales clerk so they don't check for student ID.
This (even if it is fake or just a try out) is what I was afraid of when Google went public. They claim to be adding more features, but they are just bogging down a good search engine. They have already added message boards to their search and that tends to give a lot of false leads. If they add images and books to the main search it will just create more results that you don't want. Keep the main search engine for web pages and have books, images, pdf, message boards in a separate search.
Get OS X or Linux, then you won't need anti-spyware, anti-virus and anti-worm protection. People need to take these costs into account when buying a new computer. With Apple offering a $500 (or so) Mac it is becoming a lot cheaper to run Apple products. Not to mention the time spent scanning for viruses, cleaning out your computer or lost productivity. I know preaching to the choir, but its a slow day at work.
At least the one from '98 is in Quicktime. The link in the Slashdot article is for a video in Windows Media Player. If you are going to post something in an anti-MS article it could at least be in Quicktime or RealPlayer.
--When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?
Don't even bother posting a comment like this. Americans are so dazed by sex, drugs, TV and the net they don't even know what is going on. Look at the last election. A president who authorized torture and lies and manipulates to get his way was easily reelected because the brainwashed masses think he has "values." One day Americans will turn on their TV's and the president will be wearing a gray suit with a cap with a red star on it and no one will even notice. They will just go off to their dollar a day jobs in sweatshops for the Chinese and won't care as long as the get home in time to watch Oprah or their favorite football team. To quote the title of a prophetic Clash album from the 70's: Give 'em enough rope...
Hey, great BBC site. I will add it to the list for the German School that I am attending. (Still not giveing out the URL, its only on a university server.)
I just watched a travel show about India. They showed some Sadus who sat around naked all day and smoked ganga and people just gave them money. Sounds like a good job to me. Combine that with $2.30 broadband and I'm gone. I just need to see how much plane tickets to India are. With the Tsunami travel is probably down, so flights may be cheap.
Here are some German Language sites from a site I set up for a German class at my university. Most of the sites have other languages also. (Would link to it, but don't want to get slashdotted, so I just copied the code over.)

Just what I have been saying on Slashdot for years:

Yes, like the almost literal cliff hanger that ended Andromenda, one of the best shows to come from the creative mind of Gene Roddenberry.

I am becoming gerund, destroyer of verbs.
Yes, Oppenheimer should have had a better translation of the Gita.
Another reason Macs rule, PCs suhk.

I wish I'd known that when I started dating my first wife in college that she would turn out to be such a f****g b***h and gone running the other way.

Its so much better now when everone who is not a right-wing-christian-gun-loving-American is labeled a terrorist.

The answer is: 42
