Ah, but be careful! The argument "Smoking dope is a victimless crime" has been turned upside down by "Everytime you smoke a joint you are funding terrorists". Is child porn victimless? That really depends... an 8 or 9 year old kid being shafted by some greasy fat bastard definitely has a victim. A photo series of a 16 year old nymphet from Russia (where 16 is the age of consent) could be completely victimless. However, in the US you will go to jail for having those pictures.
Don't get me wrong, child porn is an abomination, but as with everything, some common sense must be used in dealing with the supposed perps.
That's okay. I immediately thought of New Haven instead of New Hampshire and was about to post a big long flame about Elm St. not being a dead-end on *either* end. Mercifully my brain began to function before I pressed submit.
That's valid, but VoIP systems like Vonage allow you to specify a number to be called if your ATA can't be reached. Has saved my ass a couple of times.
I'd bet they think higher SAT scores make better engineers or managers, too.
Actually, no. MS is one of the few remaining software (large) firms where education is a not considered the uber credential. Amazon on the other hand is education obsessed. I did a phone interview at Amazon in '96 that went very well. Two days later I get a phone call from HR asking which college I went to. When I replied "The School of Empiricism" (okay, I didn't actually say that this particular time, but have since then), she said "Ok, no big deal." Another two days and my phone rings again. HR woman: "What were your SATs?". I was floored. Honestly, what in the world does that have to do with *anything*?.
Unfortunately...no. And to add insult to injury, I found it impossible to actually build Rotor on FreeBSD (most likely something with my system configuration). However, Mono compiles flawlessly, so if you want to go that route it works very well.
The Hurd was certified gold and was adopted by Microsoft as the replacement kernel for Windows Server 2003.
According to Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, "Ricky and I go back a long way. I have always respected his outlook on software intellectual property rights. It turns out he was right all along; companies don't need to make money."
Richard Stallman, head of the GNU organization, the creator of the Hurd, said "GNU is very pleased to be working with our brethren Microsoft on this venture. GNU and the FSF have always had great respect for Microsoft and Bill Gates, and we believe that the combination of their Office suite and the rock-solid (and complete) Hurd kernel will allow the end user to experience a vastly superior Windows."
Asked whether a name change may be on the horizon for the Windows line, Bill Gates thought for a second and replied: "Yes. Yes, I think there might. How does Gnudows sound?"
Microsoft shareholders could not be reached for comment.
Before we left my wife asked what I would do if I couldn't program for a month.
Translation: "If you bring a computer, you are guaranteed to not see the inside of my panties for a month".
Find an old IBM Workpad. Not the handheld one, but the one that looks like a tiny Thinkpad. They rock. Unfortunately, the have been discontinued, but I am sure you can find one.
Seriously, though... check out sex. It's much more fun to boink your wife in some new and exotic place than it is to debug C code... really.
Mono's ASP.net is nowhere near ready for prime-time, but it's certainly getting there. If you absolutely need to run ASP (not ASP.net), use ChiliSoft's (now part of Sun) Chili!ASP. It's pretty good and the vast majority of ASP was ported.
Then again, using Chili!ASP on a Solaris box is sort of like installing SONET in your house for your two node network... or something like that.
I suppose you're not old enough to remember when IE didn't support JavaScript because they were pushing vbscript, and Microsoft got dragged, kicking and screaming, into writing native JavaScript support into IE 4
He he. I vividly remember doing some work at MS during the time of the IE 3.0 beta. One developer came in with some code that just wouldn't work... he was trying to open up a popup window on a button click. He had faithfully translated a JavaScript page to VBScript and was startled to learn that there was no "vbscript:" protocol. Talk about a hack... I turn blue just thinking about that project...;-)
Hm... an associate of mine worked for a company whose "president" was named Brad Failing. Sure enough, his email address was bfailing and even more sure enough, his company did indeed fail.
Not really a program, but there's this one website where a bunch of geeks discuss stuff. Apparently pretty popular. It has a pretty funny and *irrelevant* name.. what was it again...?
I named the "ensmartenator" for the intended purpose of "ensmartenting" the two pieces' communication api's so that they could understand each other...
I bet that George Herbert Walker Bush wouldn't find that funny at all. In fact, I would assume he thinks that is already a word.

Not to mention about half of the movie version of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".
I am not so sure of the beautiful part, but I have seen very emotional code, as in:
print("why the FUCK doesn't this get called?????!!!!")
and don't forget about duplicate stories.

Nope. Just the 3.14 part.
And, pray tell, where did Microsoft get NTFS from? MS *does* do some development in-house, you know.
You must be a much more patient person than I...

I believe that would be the the GPL, he says, half-joking.
The design was submitted by a slashdot reader.
Yes.
That is one of the ugliest phones I have ever seen... and only 20k USD you say... wow.
Holy shit, man... I was trying to eat my dinner and now I have milk dripping out of my nose. That is hilarious.

oooops. No, I was not. No excuse really... just wasn't thinking. Thanks for catching it.
