Forget that. Just use a a substition with labels instead of sprintf-ing everything. Then you can have
"Hello my name is $name." and "Guten Tag, Ich heisse $name." (Ok, ok in this instance it's the same order, but I'm having trouble of thinking of better examples and I am lazy and you get the idea and it makes way more sense than %s.) Just name the substitution arguments.
That has to be the cheapest box set of an entire show ever. It has to be the cheapest box set of an entire season ever for that matter. Hell, it's only $10 more than a movie. I've never seen a single episode, but at $30 whats the risk?
A mathematician, a chemist and an engineer come across a case of beer. However, the beer is in old-style cans with no pull tabs. So the Chemist heads back to his lab and develops a special compound that desolves metal rapidly, but evaporates instantly upon contact with alcohol. The engineer goes back to his workshop and constructs an automated beer-serving device that rapidly chills the beer, opens it, and serves it in glasses. The engineer and the chemist return to the case of beer to discover the mathematician already drinking. They ask "How did you get those open?" "Well, I simply started with the assumption that the beer was already opened," the mathematician replied.
Joke 2:
A biologist, a statiscian and theoretical mathematician go to the race track. The biologist looks into the horses diets, their fitness, strengt, breeding etc. and makes his selection. The statiscian does an advanced statistical analysis of previous races and the current odds and makes his selection. The mathematician performs some computations and makes his selection. It turns out that the mathematician's horse is the winner of the race. "I don't understand. I knew the condition of those horses bodies better than they did themselves. How could my horse not win?" laments the biologist. "My analysis was flawless. It was statiscally impossible for my horse to lose!" cries the statiscian. "How did you do it?" "Well, first I started with the assumption that the horses were spherical, and of equal densities..."
He's not talking about the idea being bad, he's talking about what level of the OS / Library / Application stack that the VFSs are implemented at. To put it another way, wouldn't it be awesome if you could not only drag the audio files from the cd to a folder in your home directory, but also perform the same action from the command line (using cp) or use GTK based app to edit the audio, etc.
You already have X11 apparently. So here's a hint, start the X server before starting the GIMP. (Same thing you'd have to do on Linux too. Try running the GIMP from a VC, doesn't work very well does it?)
They are suing the wrong people (Wal-Mart). Tell them to sue the jerks who decided to go to Wal-Mart and reproduce their photos. This way Wal-Mart can reproduce whatever, and the people who deserve to get in trouble, get in trouble. If I go to a library and photocopy a whole book, teh publisher doesn't sue the library do they? They (should) sue me.
MicroCenter already does Mac. (Its been 13 seconds since I hit reply, and now I jsut realized I have to wait 2minutes anyway. Well I'll read that Linux is for Losers article for a litte bit now. I suppose I could do some work...Nah. Has it been 2minutes yet?
I've been to the MicroCenter in Westbury, NY many times. As far as retail stores go, they definitely have the best selection (although its still pathetic compared to online stores), and the salespeople while I wouldn't call them geniuses, they do know there stuff, and if you know what you're looking for, they'll definitely either be able to say they don't have it, or show you were it is. There is a small downside in that I find them to be a little pricy, even compared to other retail places. Speaking of Linux though, they sell a bunch of commercial distro's and a few years back I picked up some Loki games on the cheap there.
I know the license doesn't matter, I thought I covered that. I'd just like to point out that theres nothing stopping anyone (if Apple continues to release the source code) from patching the kernel like this:
int check_key(key_t *key) {
return 1;
}
If WindowServer or something uses a signed key and won't work, theres always DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES. If its smarter than that once again we can lie to it at the kernel level. Considering that MacOnLinux works on non-Apple PPC machines I don't think they'll be able to pull this off. Maybe if the kernel was closed source and encrypted and had hardware based decryption that varied by machine, but its not and if they continue to release source code theres no way to stop someone from just ripping the checks out.

accidentally running an SQL UPDATE command without a WHERE clause (also happened to me), etc).
I believe this is what transactions are for.

The layout appears to be borked in Safari v1.3 (And possibly in Konqueror? I dunno.) It renders fine in Camino.

Everybody and their mother has 50 invites at this point. Do you need one?

Don't anthromorphize the cameras. They don't like that.
Well after having read some Dean Koontz today, i got two words for ya: "memory wipe".
Geez give hiom a break. it was like his first week of batmaning. I'm sure he learns those things soon enough.
You've obviously never played Cranium
word.

It does. They just use legal voodoo to confuse, confound, and bind apparently.

Well the Dr. did suggest recently that he was Santa Claus. "Proving" it by telling Rose she got a red bike on her tenth birthday.
I didn't do anything at all really. I believe it was XP pre-SP1. It just worked. Sorry I can't help more.
Just like to mention that I played Alice on an XP laptop with an ATi 7500 Mobility.
Did you see the 'un' in there?

If you are the one converting it, just don't use the menu feature. sheesh.
