It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Blues Mobile or what?
TFA mentioned something about distribution problems.
In the area I'm in (Downtown Long Beach, Ca), the iTunes bottles didn't reach most stores until the end of February. All of the stores were carrying Lakers promotional bottles instead.
Once the iTunes bottles started showing up, I won a few songs. When I went to redeem them, iTunes didn't have any of the specific songs that I wanted. They didn't have any Led Zeppelin songs, so I went looking for some songs off of a CD that my wife wants. They didn't have that either, so my caps didn't get turned in.
My lowely little GMC minivan is far better than this car. I can fit the kids, my wife, our double stroller, and a whole bunch of groceries/luggage/cargo, etc in it confortably, pay about $350/month for it, and still get around 20mpg.
Not that the Bugatti wouldn't be a lot of fun, but I doubt I'd have my license very long if I owned one of those.
Sure, they can probably crank out good code, but they will lack the experience to make good decisions about the program design and logic. School can teach you a lot, but it can't teach you what years of experience will teach you.
Screen space is cheap too. Spend a few hundred dollars on a second video card and monitor, it is great for developers, or anyone who is using their computer for work.
I can have 1 screen with my code on it, and another with the app I'm developing on it running so I can see what each code change does without having to switch windows.
Or I can have a help document open on one screen, and my code on the other. Or my SQL Enterprise manager open on one screen, code on the other. I can have my development environment open on 1 monitor, but my other monitor resized to 800x600 with my app I'm writing running on that monitor to see what it will look like on most of my client's machines, etc.... The possibilities of what to do with dual monitors is endless.
Both Windows and Linux support multiple monitors without any hassle. Once you try it, you'll never want to use a single monitor again.
For someone who types all day for a living, $100 for a good keyboard that is comfortable to use and will last for several years is a bargain.
Do you ever hear about mechanics bitching that their Snap-On tools are too much money because they can get similar tools at Wal-Mart for a fraction the price?
I always shop at the Albertson's by my home, which up until recently didn't have a loyalty card. I never pay cash though, I always use my ATM card.
About a month after having our second child, the coupon printer at the checkout started printing coupons for baby formula, no matter what I bought.
Their system knew who I am based off of my ATM card, and knew that I had a new baby. It kept printing the formula coupons to keep me coming there.
Do I mind it? Hell no. The coupons I was constantly getting (And still getting occasionally) are worth about $10 each, and I was getting one no matter how little I spent at the store. There were several times I ran in for something small, and ended up with a buy one get one free coupon for formula worth 2-3x the amount of my purchase.
In the last few months, I've gotten $200-$300 worth of formula coupons, so to me it is worth them tracking what I buy at the grocery store.
I'm curois, could someone tell me what the licensing fees are approximately?
I've heard from several places that it is way too expensive for all but the biggest sites, but I'm curious, and I don't feel like emailing Microsoft (I don't want a bunch of salespeople hounding me to get the license).
Who gives a $700-$800 Christmas gift? I know a few people might get their spouse or children somethign like that, but the vast majority give gifts far smaller than that.
And besides, for that price you could get a laptop.
Jesus and the Devil get into an argument one day about who could use the computer better. Finally, God got tired of them bickering, and offered to be the judge in a contest to see who really was better.
The day of the contest came, and both Jesus and the Devil worked all day long, making spreadsheets, typing documents and scanning images.
Just a few minutes before the contest ended, the power went out. The devil started cursing and screaming, but Jesus simply turned his PC back on, and printed his work for God to judge.
The devil started screaming that Jesus had cheated, and it wasn't fair, but all God said was...
Not quite right. A _sequence_ of notes makes a song. An unordered collection of notes would not be a song.
If you would read past the next sentence in my previous post, you would see that was my point exactly. A database doesn't have to be in any particular order, where as a sequence of notes does have to be in a particular order to make a song.
If you "randomize the records in a database," you're not doing the same thing as randomizing notes.
Yes, you are. A collection of notes makes a song. A collection of records makes a database. If you want to break it down even more, a collection of fields makes a recordset. The notes have to be in a specific order to make a specific song, but the fields in the recordset can be in any order, and the recordsets can be in any order in the database, and you will still have the same database.
In the same way, if you randomize the FIELDS in a database -- take a NAME from one record and put it in the ADDRESS of another -- you would come up with a completely different database.
Yes, and that database would be absolutely worthless. Having data in the wrong fields makes the database dirty, and the data unuseable. Imagine taking a note from a song, and putting that note in the lyrics.
Now, if you meant changing the order of the fields in a recordset, we're back to the same argument in my original post - The database is still fully functional, and you will be able to get the same data out of it.
Think about it this way: you can copyright a guitar riff, but you obviously can't copyright a note. A note is a basic, concrete thing, you can't CREATE a new note. Does this fact bely the creation of original songs? I don't think so...every time music seems stagnant, somebody finds a new way to make it.
Ok, now if you take your collection of notes, and randomize the order they're in, you have something totally different. Now, take your database, and randomize the records in that. You still have the same exact database. They are two totally different ideas.

Damn, the lesbians at my high school never looked like this. They were all about 400lbs and lloked like football players.

So why does this search return not a single result?
Yeah. A non-profit corporation owned by the city to be exact.

How'd you guess?
I have a very secure job that pays a little less.
I've got great benefits though, and that more than makes up for the lower salary.
there are taxes which should have prevented such excessive aggregation
That's a bunch of BS. Taxes should NOT be to prevent someone from getting rich.

The "Customizer" model is a very nice keyboard, and reasonably priced at around $60. I bought one of the black ones, and absolutely love it.
It has the mechanical key switches, it's comfortable to use, and it is built like a tank.
I don't have any complaints with it, but my coworkers say it sounds like a machine gun when I type really quick.
Here's a picture of the black model that I have.

What if you trained them to do your job wrong, so they totally screw everything up?

Don't go to these guys for artistic design. You're liable to make your reader's eyes bleed.

I thought they meant 4 spare astronauts, for when the next shuttle fails.
Cool, you can get a job working for SCO from home!

At least that way, you wouldn't have to worry about getting all of your stuff packed up and out of the office when they finally go under.
