yeah, i guess accuracy will always fall victim to American ignorance - at least in Amerikkka. You fucking turd, where exactly do you get off saying that "there's no real point to revise history for someone with so little impact" and yet YOUR OWN FUCKING TEXTBOOKS have already "revised" history just so a couple Amerikan blokes would be 'first' in the record books?
Idiot.

I won't support the easement of the RIAA regime into our century. The dinosaurs had their day and now it's over.. move along, nothing more to see here.
I'd rather hire a hotshot who knows everything about the language and API's than somebody who doesn't really know what's going on, but can still cobble together something after doing a bunch of research. Obviously I don't know how fast you can leaf through pages in pursuit of that precious nugget of knowledge, nor even how often your cache misses; heck, if the hotshot is lazy and you work hard you might get more done - but I'll take the genius any day.
Tests are in general excellent tests of knowledge. Don't know the answer? Can't very well bullshit now, can you? Quick thinking is also a highly rated skill in the real world, in case you weren't aware.
What you can write down in a mad dash is not the same as if you're working on a problem in a "real world" setting.
Sorry again, you are completely wrong. Want to be CEO? Learn to think fast. Like to drive your car fast? Think and act quickly or get off my road. There's no place for lackadaisical losers at the top of the food chain son.
You obviously belong to a union, probably work on the docks and have little besides rocks between your ears. The TA doesn't decide your value as a student. The TA's job is to decipher your output on the exam and decide whether you have a clue about what's going on. All men aren't created equal in talent.
Hear hear. anybody who's had to write code for any length of time learns to develop it in their head in spare time. I can't believe the bozos who whine about lack of an IDE (how about four VI terminals?? Stupid punks) and expect a compiler to do all the syntax checking.. too lazy to learn proper grammar? Go build a house. Fscking morons. As you say, development time is considerably less than one would expect from a group of lazy-ass idiot children who can't be bothered to code properly. I pity the employers of these people who don't think breathe and love code. As Joel says, At the other extreme, are the brilliant superstars who write lisp compilers for fun, in a weekend, in Assembler for the Palm Pilot. And in the middle, you have a large number of "maybes" who seem like they might just be able to contribute something. The trick is telling the difference between the superstars and the maybes, because at Fog Creek Software we only hire the superstars.
I have a method for removal of the banner... it is called "Purchase" and works every time. Well worth it. You'd be surprised how much better Opera looks without a banner, BTW.
Pardon? "Mozilla efficiency" is unfortunately an oxymoron... note the loading time compared to Opera, resource usage, download size, etc. and please tell me you're joking.
Not trolling here because I kinda dig Mozilla - but Opera 6 is far more efficient.
Well reasoned, thoughtfully attacking the inherent injustice propounded by butt-monkey Hollings? This I can use, rather than that tripe suggested by the fax petitioners.
To toast those tres annoying ads, use the Proxomitron. You can bypass it at any time if the laptops' lure overcomes your weak will, but in the meantime no more laptops will obfuscate your internet browsing experience.
I bought Mandrake 8.0 Pro and never regretted a penny spent. I'll bet my money again on 8.2:O)
OTOH it's sure nice to know that I didn't spend anything on the failed distros* (including Red Hat 7.1, Mandrake 8.1, Caldera 2.4/3.1 etc.) that I've tried over the years... Poor students like myself cannot afford such luxuries as the purchase of a distro just to (beta?) test it.
* "failed distros" == "distros that wouldn't work on my primary machine after 3 reasonable attempts or less"
Multiple installs. That's the key right there. Plus you can use the bootable CD 1 for basic recovery in some (many? most??) cases.. Haven't had to yet, but the option is present.
Plus, of course, you can toss your buds a copy any time, saving the mirrors some serious bandwidth.
I've got a Compaq Armada M300 (not 830 chipset - sorry) working perfectly with Mandrake 8.2beta2, and the sound is fully, beautifully present. After previous Mandrake installs I once dreaded the inevitable "KDE Startup Sound" and default full volume setting that trashed my tiny tinny speaker. Now I just disable the sound daemons during the install. You might want to spare your weak little laptop speaker(s) a similar fate..
Word. Peace.
I've been sharing my Linux distros for months and months... but so far nobody has bothered taking them! It's sad, really, to hoard all this goodness to myself because people can't be bothered to spark up their fave P2P client and look for it.. Sharing this stuff is what P2P was designed for, after all:O)

Suggestions:
1) tell your mom (er - i meant 'customer') that it's SUPPOSED to look like that.. the "readable arcane text all over da place" instead of familiar Start Button does *not* expose secret information
2) anything you 'hack' will ever be a patchwork, for you will not understand the difference 'tween hard- and soft-ware. you don't know that "hacking" (generally) doesn't refer to cutting out cardboard "GUI with Secure Widget Technology" so that mom and little sis don't have to see those ugly internal details...
3) i like your trolls! got no pointers there.. not top notch, of course, but funny in a delinquent canine fashion:O)
BTW what is an 'encrytion' and how does one add that to the Pentium architecture? I'd like your input on a project i'm buildin too if you don't mind..
I'll sell Al Gore's left testicle, punch out Prime Minister Chretin (Canadian dude, if you must know...) and sell Mike Tyson to the Arabs as a secret weapon to sell a half million wee boxen. That's plenty unnatural to some folks.
Alternatively, I could just walk around town come St. Paddy's in naught but the one-button suit an' the green grease-y paint!! Maybe that option's the better, what do the moderators think??
OK there I feel much better. WHEEEEEeeee!!!
Constitution, as you say, can be used for many things.. like wrapping Big Macs in. It's the next big thing.
I'm not OT here am I? Sure hope not. This is relevant stuff!
I propose that the used units are recycled into cattle feed, the way everything else is these days. Cheapest antibiotics around comes in your Quarter Pounder with Cheese:O) so why not your daily silicon and plastic too?
failing that, maybe another CueCat will emerge from the wreckage, and we'll have more better toys again!
Wheeeeee!
in 7 years they can buy MY palm VIII (heck, make it Palm XII !) for eighty-- make it an even hundred. i'll bet my coworkers will take em up on that one too, even toss in a used GPS mod or two for that price. Or possible trade for a Big Mac. Either or.
y'know, that's a real price break from those $1000 wrenches the US air force was buying some years back.. (prob. still are, those cheaply bought air force pussies)
hello, can we get an OT over here please? thank you!
BTW i think that moderators are doing a wonderful job here on slashdot, don't you?:D
Slashdot Mirror
eh? I think not! Feverish love in the middle of traffic is far the merrier, my dear :)

see, they tried to get a bugzilla going but it was compiled with gcc 2.95.3 so - i guess you'd call that poetic justice :p
