This reminds me of the time when Red Hat released Service Pack 7 for NT 4 . Unfortunately I can't provide a link, as segfault.org is down (as it seems to be 50% of the time)
etc. , but to a non-programmer's mind, it is easy to see the connection between this sequence of commands, and the result (bright flashy screen output). This is the first step of learning to program.
Try writing something in C or Java or Haskell to the same effect..?
Programming in JavaScript is a nightmare. If I'm forced to use it, I try to get it out of the way as quickly as possible. And I won't even start on the testing phase...
I think the only language I dislike more is mIRC script
When I go to http://www.mersenne.org/, I get a large yellow screen saying "Distributed Com", and a few borders, and nothing else. Are they using DCOM for this?
>whassup with slashdot and this 2 minute posting rule?
That and the 20 second reply-time rule are supposed to stop crapflooders (but of course they don't; they only hinder ordinary posters). You can tell that it was designed by Americans..
(PS. For the obtuse, that was a dig at American tactics in Iraq)

Firewire and Linux?

Digital Rights Management was cracked last week anyway.. so no worries
Banks around here (New Zealand) use 3DES for PIN encryption (which is a bit of a joke because most PINs are only 4 digits). They also use 3DES (with the same master key) for message checksumming.
Banks make a big hullabaloo about security, more to scare people off than for real security.
My flatmate works for a wireless company here (not in America).
You can walk down a main street here and plug into dozens of wireless networks who haven't enabled their security (it's disabled by default -- or enabled with a default password), and just get free 12Mbit internet to your laptop, as well as full access to the company's PCs (none of them do this VPN thing that some of you have mentioned).
On the other hand, the modern classical composers will be remembered by their industry forever (any classical musician will be able to give you a pretty continuous list of composers, from the 1800s up to today)
Dream on, Brooks is crap. I think the Shannara series has to be the biggest LOTR rip on the market at the moment. If you had never heard of Tolkien then Shannara is novel, but reading a rehashed, weaker version of JRR's masterpiece is not my cup of tea.

Why does nobody object to iD maintaining an internet database of activation keys, but all get up in arms with Microsoft does it?
So the question is: did Katz invent the email, or was his poor brain fooled by some prankster?
A five-year-old can understand BASIC, as evinced by me. I think the first program I ever saw was something stupid like:
10 BORDER 5 : PAUSE 10 : BORDER 3 : PAUSE 10 : BORDER 2 : PAUSE 10 : BORDER 7 : PAUSE 10
etc. , but to a non-programmer's mind, it is easy to see the connection between this sequence of commands, and the result (bright flashy screen output). This is the first step of learning to program.

Wasn't REXX an Amiga 500 programming thing? That's why I never liked it..:)
Get him to read the Lord of the Rings

I get buffer underruns whenever I try to write at 12x (IDE connection), I have to turn it down to 8x

Why don't they use ANSI C for the kernel?

There was a guy on my local BBS called 'Jim diGriz'. I thought he was just trying to sound tough.. but now I know :)
I couldn't name any 40s bands..

Quality, not quantity.
I think what you're trying to say is that although he has multiple series, he only has one plot.

Elf Queen is the third in a series of four (the Scions series).. his last one was The Talismans of S.
Well, China believes Taiwan is a part of China , so why shouldn't it use Taiwanese boards?
My Celeron 300 only used 1-2% in WinAmp .. now that I have a 900, it's going to be even less. Perhaps you either need a CPU upgrade, or a better player
