Dude, we used the money to send us all to Vegas to see Star Trek: The Experience. It was incredible! Then Patrick Stewart showed up to give us a tour of the bridge.
What? Didn't you get your plane ticket delivered? Bummer.
What I'd be interested to know is if there's a means to switch between user sessions on a Linux system without logging off. This is something I actually miss from XP.
I suppose that I could rig something that required multiple X sessions that you go between by hitting the CTRL-ALT-F# keys. However, it'd be nice to have something that simple folk can use.
You know, I'm actually in agreement with you. Didn't really deserve the moderations. Some people are born to be beautiful, some people are born to be brilliant, I'm born to be a karma sink.
I hate to sound pesimistic, but the only true solution is true deregulation of the last mile. An independent operator of the physical facilities within a locality.
Let's not forget wireless broadband, which will most likely cut a nice big piece out of the cable and telephone companies. When you eliminate "fiber to the curb" as a prerequisite for getting in on service provider racket, a whole new crop of providers will start popping up.
Well, hopefully most compilers would pick up on the fact that the condition always evaluates to true and omit the branch. So, like another poster mentioned, if it adds clarity as to some future intention for the code then go ahead and keep it in there. It should be benign in terms of CPU usage.
I'm surprised anyone still pays attention to what the French government decrees. It's become so blatently protectionist that it's verging on silly.
Consider the recent issues with Ubisoft. I've enjoyed a number of the games Ubisoft has published and saw no joy in their acquisition by EA. However, the fact of the matter is someone got greedy or desperate if over half the company's shares were available for purchase.
Now there are rumblings from the French government that they might do something. What that something is is up for speculation: ban EA games in France, block the sale (is that even possible?), a bailout, or maybe the government will buy up shares of Ubisoft.
Question is, what can they do that won't erode the credibility of other French companies that operate internationally?
Bet this new information has left certain folks out there feeling a little queasy after having taken up smittenedkitten's requests to cyber.

And your solution for uneven fading of the socks after multiple washes is.......?
Actually, these are the very socks eaten by dryers. It's nature's way of culling of the weak from the herd, much like wolves preying on diseased caribou.
Ever see the Paxman interview with Bill Gates? It was really lacking the usual Paxman bite. The most challenging question was, "If you saw a hundred dollar bill on the street, would you pick it up?"
Wow. Some hard hitting journalism there. Think I've seen better questions in People magazine.
The really pathetic thing is that GNOME and KDE today are pretty much duplicate efforts. This situation has become a terrible waste of community resources.
I'm certain these developers that volunteer their time are eagerly awaiting your consent as to what projects they may work on.
How in the nine hells are they supposed to know what "Firefox" is (most of them do not read the times).
They don't have to know. All they have to do is continue using IE like they currently do and find their system grinding under the strain of God-knows-what spyware.
Then they call one of us. We know what Firefox is and that installing it will save us another housecall to whatever parent's or uncle's or second-cousin-twice-removed's home to run an anti-spyware app. As an added bonus, once Firefox is installed on this system, the newly converted are going to brag about it when they hear about their neighbor's computer problems.
In other words, IE is the best advertising in the world for Firefox.

I'd take this up with FedEx, if I were you.

AgeOfConsent.com lists the actual age where it's legal to have sex with anyone of any age. I can't quite check though as work blocks the site.
You don't by any chance work at AOL, do you?
From the summary: Now they are accepting donation to fund their trip to the conference and give a randomly generated talk.
I wonder if they'd accept a randomly generated credit card number?

Zebediah, can I get a clean up on aisle 9...and aisle 2. Oops, make that aisle 4 as well.
And what do you do with all the nano-chads that result from punching out the card?

Hell, to cruise for mod points you wouldn't even have to be remotely accurate.
How odd. My Judicial Appeal Simulator gave no indication that this ruling would occur.

Yes, but will you be welcoming the robotic hooligans that start single-handedly overturning cars after the match?
Even more nagging is the question: Will robotic football holligans be rioting in the streets afterwards?
