Women are also not as confident, so they make tons of stupid little mistakes. Men are just reckless. It's opposite ends of the specturm, but women do cause more accidents. We're just more efficient at them;)
Dude, your first mistake was letting her over. Been there, done that. Next, is dating a chick that wouldn't have the respect for you to not talk about slobbing nobs (I assume that's the emoticon for slurping) on your machine, even after a break up. Fuck that, get her out and get on with your bad self.
You got to be kidding me. So you use them them, I mean, to make a comment like that you need a frame of reference, right? Have you ever USED an IBM S/390? Answer me these questions and we'll see how qualified you are to make that statement.
Zilog built one. A webserver and TCP/IP Stack on a chip. Pretty friggin small too, I think it can only handle a few (30-300) connections but the thing is seriously the size of a processor die, including package and pins.
Holy damn. I have never seen cables that cost that much... Were they platinum or like 99% Gold? Jesus Chirst in a chickenbasket, I could buy 15 of my cars with that. I say CD players don't belong in an (insane) enthusiast set up. Vinyl all the way!
You will lose that bet. The funny thing about shit speakers is if you've never heard better ones, how do you have a frame of reference? I've heard $10,000 speakers and I must say: Holy shit. That was the best sound I have ever heard. No shit box pair of Sony headphones or even a nice Klipsch system could match it. I actually saw a pair (didn't hear them) that would self-attenuate by playing some low bass notes, listening to them with a built-in retractable microphone, and changing the dynamics to match the room contours. If you like sound, why not? I would if I had the money to blow.
I went to a university (DeVry doesn't teach COBOL from what I know) whose CS department was purely funded by IBM. We had, IIRC, the most COBOL students coming out as mainframe programmers in the midwest, if not the US. I did enough JCL to know it sucks. You try it someday, if you haven't, and tell me how you like it. I did not fail that course either, so suck my balls.
Not only that but, sure, you don't have to be brilliant to use COBOL.... but you do to use MVS, JCL, JSAM, VSAM and all that other prehistoric bullshit without missing a beat. Good luck keeping up with business when every single command has spacing requirements, the interface is just a virtual punchcard and the output is as cryptic as the Rosetta Stone, when all you have is some wanna-be book and experience in non-similar languages. Don't get me wrong, I respect the whole argument that knowing the computer well enough, any language is a snap to learn, but that other garbage just is so hard to get a tight, fluent grasp on quickly that I understand the 5 yr requirement.
You can make a sound recorder from parts you buy at radio shack. It's impossible to deny the public this without making damn near every electronic component illegal. No judge on earth will allow a lawsuit for buying electronic components for the purpose of making a recording device illegal. And if they do, good bye America.
Dude, if you can hear it, you can copy it. It doesn't matter how many levels of bullshit the file has to go through to become audio. Once the speakers start moving, no amount of modern copy protection will stop you from copying it.
Indeed. I'm writing a small interpreted langauage just for my own benefit that creates windows based on XML-style documents, like the "config file" you refer to. Then it uses CSS to "style" that window. It gives a lot of power to the user and the designer.
Last year, the April Fool's day stories actually seemed real. They had thought behind them. This year's crop blows. Next thing you know we'll see a story about carbon nanotube dildos or something equally retarded...
Hmm, seeing as how I never kissed his ass, and he got fired... I'd say your painfully lame attempt at humor failed. You, sir, are a waste of sperm and egg.
At CompUSA, mine had the delectible odor of cigarettes and coffee. It was super-great when I'd be sitting there hunched over a computer, removing some part, and he'd come over and start talking to me about how I should be doing it, like he knew a better method for removing RAM or something. Nothing worse than a smelly dumbass for a boss.
You miss two large distinctions between deodorant and crops: deodorant doesn't cross-breed and deodorant isn't a food staple. What happens when all the rice in every major patty breeds with this new "drug rice"? Then there won't be a choice to not buy it, unless people stop eating rice, which is completely retarded. What a great idea, let's possibly fuck up the largest food resource we have to make drugs we can already make!
Not that I watch the shit but a lot more people than you and I do. If the people want it, then the people want it, end of story. The government has to step in to protect people from getting ripped off. It is a utility just like electricity, in fact, I don't really see how it's any different. You don't NEED electricity either, but it's still regulated, because cost of entry is enormous. It's a market that really can't have diverse competition becuase there are only so many rich folks and then existing line deals, etc etc just get in the way.
Just one thing, they DID put up a fight on the resale of music and the courts (possibly the Supreme Court) decided the right of first sale belonged to the consumer on that one (finally). I think they've given up for now. I wonder, if you buy a song online and you want to sell it, what would happen?
But they need to offer an alternative. You can't just NOT compete with piracy. It exists, it is there, any amount of unconstitutional (8th amendment at least) laws cannot stop that. This is exactly like the horse and buggy. CD's and physical media in general are no longer needed to gain musical performances, aka the horse and buggy. Digital online music on demand is the car.
I'm gonna take a second here and digress. If I buy an album, let's take an example from my father, so say The Wall by Pink Floyd. He bought that fucking thing in the 1970's on vinyl. Why the fuck should he have to pay another $18 for a CD. He already has the license to play the music right? So why does he have to keep paying full price? If he had his receipt and original and went to RCA (I assume that's the producer, I'm sure I'm wrong) and demanded a CD, he'd be laughed the hell out of there. So then it seems he holds a simple physical item, like a camera for example. But the record industry wants to stop you from selling the album to someone else, or even making copies of it. They want it both ways. I say, fuck them and fuck them hard. I really want every person on Earth to steal as much music as they can until these shitbags realize they can't play dirty pool and get away with it.
Anyhow, these companies, in order to exist, have to adapt. The law should not adapt for them. They have to provide attractive, high quality and available music samples and songs for a reasonable price. That's so fucking simple it's goddamn amazing that only Apple has figured it out. I think the folks at the RIAA should have all their money taken away to feed orphans and they get to live on the street for the rest of their natural days. They have been suckling on the teat of popular entertainment and stifling innovative and creative music for ages.

Echelon. Supposedly able to tap into any conversation, email, etc etc and hunt out keywords like "bomb", "president". http://www.echelonwatch.org/
What'd you do?
Or do a half assed job. Tell the replacement you usually sit around all day playing tetris.

What's kinda funny is your UID's are actually strikingly close... In fact, you're newer than him going just by UID's ;)

The Legend of the Green Dragon official site has a "bork" edition for today. Kind of annoying, but it's only for April Fools.
Good managers hire people smarter than they are. Bad ones hire idiots to make sure they keep their job.
