And what's wrong with kids? That they're ALWAYS LOOKING FOR BOOBIES. It's a cyclic system.
Nah, it's that kids think they invented sex. Then they grow up and realize that they didn't and hopefully learn how to do other stuff. Sex is nice, and so are boobies, but beign singleminded about sex makes you boring.
ike fire, sex is a great thing in its place, but extremely destructive, often irrevocable in its effects.
So theach your kids safe sex so they don't make you a Grandpa at 40. The point of making mistakes young is that society accepts (mostly) that kids fuck up a lot, so they cut them some slack. Grab a butt in Jr High and you may get a lecture and a suspension. Do it after college and you could end up a sex offender.
If both the boy and the girl understand that sex in the shelter of marriage is like fire in the fireplace, but outside thereof it will destroy their lives and burn the house down
... then they are messed up indeed. Sex with good precautions is like fire in the fireplace. Sex only in marriage is nearly unheard of (in the US), so teaching that will bring you higher risk of being a grandpa.
Unfortunately, many parents have not met their responsibility toward their children, and so the state is forced to step in to protect society.
Yeah, and then the parents riot because the state tries to teach that gaybashing is wrong and that condoms prevent disease.
Write a few books, hire the right agent, birth a 20th/21st century phenomenon, and be richer than the queen.
And just how much would it cost to get access to the various royal palaces and whatnot, or are they included in the $818M? I kind of expect the overall figure to be well north of $5B.
disagree: I think most people remember *exactly* how they were when they were younger and, now that they're older and more mature, are appalled by their own behavior and want to prevent other people from making the mistakes they made.
So now looking for boobies is a mistake? I think they're still in denial about how teenage boys are.
Always keep at least six months expenses in some fairly liquid form of savings, and work on open source projects while you're unemployed.
Funny thing: ING Direct pays 4.15% on regular savings. I'm using them to build my e-fund (and smooth out car insurance and other once or twice yearly bills).
Although, according to my dictionary, the term comes from an old German word meaning to go wandering or walking about (presumably to look for something).
Well it still is: Trolls are looking for attention.
It isn't that hard in many industries to determine who an anonymous resume is from- just listing your alma matter/year and experience can give away a lot of information.
I guess I was right to leave graduation dates off of my BSCS. I'd like to fuzz out the employers a bit, but I'm unsure how to do that without sounding like I'm writing a work of fiction.
The same often works for employers trying to hide their identities...
Yeah, I remember trying to find other people who used my (ex) employer's 4gl website language (based on Java and two eJBs that talk via Corba), only to find that they were the only one. Good thing that they weren't demanding years experience in the stuff.
(it use to be that the rates required to draw a screen and the general purpose bus bandwisth were off by 3 magnitues...they are now on parity. machines have changed, people haven't very much)
How is that relevant? No PC today can sustain a GB/s stream to the display. The limiting factor is usually the texels/s and, for the high-res stuff, bandwidth to the display, which hasn't been tied to bus bandwidth for 5 or more years.
Crack one level, you still have to view it, only to meet the new craptacular connection and monitor, tough noogies again. Call it defense of profits in depth, hard wired.
I can crack all levels of the encryption with a little research, the right person, and a blowtorch.
DRM on the output channel prevents all of the "analog" (I know, most new video outputs are digital, but the same methods apply) hacks from extracting the content from the DRM.
Of course, this only affects hobbyists and Linux users (and people who build their boxes). Real counterfeiters just copy the whole enchilada, often at the same factory. DRM has nothing to do with piracy.
They are provided pursuant to a non-disclosure agreement that all authorized service providers must agree to before they're allowed access.
Ok, guess so. Thing is, the website didn't agree to the contract (I assume), so their beef is with whoever linked to the page. They can sue for breach of contract, but the copyright issue is a non-starter.
That works during a dotcom boom but right now techs are a dime a dozen.
Tell that to my boss (old or new). Where I am, they pay well and have a hard time recruiting anyone experienced.
It doesn't matter if with that experience you have a perfect work ethic, take a salary, and work 120 hrs a week. There are 12 more people with the same credentials that have resumes on file already.
Good for you, because you'll be dead in a year. My company has those 12 people on file as well, so I can't refer them and get a bonus, so headhunters won't touch us.
Why do you think your average IT pro with 6-7yrs experience is working for under 40k/year with crap benefits if any?
in a PG-13 movie you can have partial nudity (topless women) but not in a T game, and that I agree that that seems kind of strange.
Yeah, well they're two separate genres. I'm not sure why you think it's a good idea to rate them with the same yardstick. IMO, the problem isn't that the rating systems are different. It's that parents don't pay attention.
No, but you'd think that since video game ratings came later they would have based them somewhat off of the other ratings systems that existed at the time, namely the movie ratings system.
They did. E for everyone, T for teens, M for mature. This closely mirrors movie ratings and expands on it by saying why the rating is what it is.

Hail Ilapalazo!
Cleaning out their spyware is a very small return on their investment.
Not with my dad. He'd just download elf bowling or some other crap and reinfect himself all over again.

After all, Adolph helped build the autobahns.
OMG, Hitler invented the Interstate?

What I don't like about Java's concurrency is a) it forces ALL objects to have a mutex/condition variable structure (stupid wasteful overhead),
Who cares? A Mutex that nobody uses is something like 4 bytes/object. The lack of good condition variables is a pain - gotta make your own.
I'd rather have explicit semaphore, mutex and condition variable objects, explicit requests for atomic operations and memory barriers,
So, what language support is missing that would help memory barriers?
For an example, let's say I'm putting a bunch of beatles through a siv.
Geez, and I thought Yoko Ono was a bitch...
How much do you think the Harry Potter franchise is worth to Time-Warner? To Walmart? It has made J.K. Rowling richer than the Queen.
Spoken like someone who doesn't understand just how rich the queen is.
But it would be downsampled to just a hair over 480p, so your high-def media certainly isn't HD at all.
Do you really think that hollywood would try that if MS said no?
I certainly can't think of anyone who pirates via dongle.
Neither can I - everyone I know of uses a factory.

If Microsoft refused to support HDCP in any form, you'd just complain that you have no way to view any new content in Vista.
No, you'd still be able to view that content. It wouldn't be protected. Whaddya think, everybody's gonna buy Macs?

I must not be average - I make 2-3 times that.
That criticism can be made just as well without violating Apple's copyright.
And criticism is one reason for using copyrighted stuff without infringement.
Those manuals are private, and only provided to authorized service providers.
No, they are published. If they were private, that'd be a trade secret.
How is posting sections of a service manual fair use?
It's being used to criticise Apple's manufacturing process.

It's gets even sillier when game makers do a pallate swap on the "blood" to get a lower rating. How is that any less violent?
PResumably because it's less recognizable as human.
No, but you'd think that since video game ratings came later they would have based them somewhat off of the other ratings systems that existed at the time, namely the movie ratings system.
