Actually, his asking is enough grounds for entrapment. The person the cop is talking to must be the one to bring up the subject of buying drugs or else in the US it is considered entrapment.
My daughter is 13 and I almost covered her eyes during that scene. If it went on a split-second longer, I would have. And I consider myself pretty liberal about what I let her watch.
I completely agree with you. The main reason I got my degree is because no one would hire me with it.
I know what you mean about "mom and dad's" money. I went to school with kids whose parents paid their rent, tuition, new BMW, etc. And I would hear them bitch about having to go to class. I was just glad I could afford gas that day and the car didn't break down.
The funny thing is now I work with the same type of people bitching about how stressful work is. I tell them until they've worked for chump-change in a restaurant, blown-away, short-handed and every customer and manager is treating you like a piece-of-crap, you don't know what stress it.
Good luck in school. It gets easier after graduation, trust me.
Why do people always think that if you have a degree, you had it easy in life? I spend 10 years slaving in a minimum wage restaurant job (amount others: factory, newspaper delivery, slaugherhouse) and drove an hour to college everyday to get a BS. 10 years to earn enough for a 4 year degree. I've been knocked around a little myself.
I must be more dense than your average geek, but I had many of this kits as a kid and never could learn a damn thing from them. I could hook up the projects and they worked fine, but never did learn why it worked or now to design my own projects.
That because your Mommy and Daddy pay all the bills. It use to take me two hours to pay bills each week. With online banking, it takes five minutes, and I no longer go through checks, envelops, and stamps like crazy.
Wait! So, the ability to FF over the crap is intrinsic to the player, not the disk? Do you have any links where I can found out info on this, such as what players are hackable, etc.? I'm with you and the OP's dad. This attempt at control of MY property really tics my off!
You need to know who a person is to judge the veracity of their information? That may help judge their motives, but truth can stand alone. Did you bother to look up the authors of your text books in school and research who they were? You don't need to know who someone is to judge the truth in their statements, just a brain.
I don't read LinuxWorld, but was just at their site. There were no less than three frontpage ads for MS Windows, and the article "Microsoft Windows costs less and outperforms Linux." Now, unlike a lot Slashdots, I'm not an MS-basher (though it can be hard sometimes!), but I would assume if I want to a Linux news site, I would see them activity pushing Windows.
But that doesn't explain why lightsabres act solid when they contact each other. Plasma is not solid, even to another blob of plasma. You could argue that the magnetic fields repulse each other, but the weapons do not seems to repulse when they contact, just stop as if solid.
Could be. Could also be that you are taking it to literally. Sabre also means a type of sword not just the blade part. Besides, do you think "swordfish" means a sword made out of fish?
Why was this marked redundant? That indicidant was just as been. No one should have their personal lives invaded because you do not like how they do business. Nor should a moderator penalize someone for posting a true and relevant comment. I don't like Darl either, but posting his personal info on Slashdot is just as bad as publishing PJ's.
Ada has a lot more than that to make it safe.
1) Scoping rules forbid passing an access (pointer) of a local type to an outer scope.
2) Rules that guarantee a determistic and correct order of elaboration (initialization) of packages (modules).
3) If by "manual memory management" you mean explicit deletion of heap objects, such things are rarely needed to be done in Ada. If needed, Ada make features to handle it, such as indepedent memory pools.
4) Ada has both active and passive tasking. This allows not only for efficience, but avoid problems such as forgetting to give a mutex. They also fully indicate with interrupts, so as to avoid problem with make a procedure atomic at both the tasking and interrupt levels.
There is much, much more to safety than bounds-checking. For safety, Java does not even come close to Ada.
As someone who had managed a restaurant for 10 years, I can safely say you do not know what the hell you are taking about. Because a business is classified as in the "service sector" does not have it public property. You can be arrested for trespassing in a restaurant if you are asked to leave and refuse.

I'll put my Comp. Sci. degrees up against anyones Engineering degree(s) any day of the week!

I say good! I've been afraid ever since the merger they'd make Road Runner users like me use there God aweful software.

I never even noticed!

What I hate is all the figgin' Star Wars parody commercials that appear when a new movie is about to be released.
Maureen, is that you?

Mmmmmmmmm, jelly donut....
I don't feel there is anything wrong with us. It's the rest of the world. I LOVE being a geek.
What do you mean by "usually"? Usually, I use natural logarithms which has a base of e, an irrational number like pi.
Okay, it's pet peeve time: it is vice versa, not vice-a-versa.
So, Clone Wars was good? I saw preview when my daughter was watching CN. I asked her to tell me when they said it would be on again.

Stop that! People are starting to wonder why I'm alone in my cube giggling like a school girl! My God man, that was funny.
