Nah dude, you were trolling, whether you admit to it or not. Not only that but you're incorrect, you definitely don't need a degree to have opportunities, you just have to sweet talk a lot better than the guy with the sheep skin.
The trick is getting a print. I saw this piece while it was on loan to the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida and they did not have the ability to produce a print due to copyright. I believe that the copyright is held by a similar Dali Museum located in Spain.
If anyone manages to get a print, please let me know how because I was ready to drop copious amounts of money for a high quality print and I left disappointed.
What? How in God's name did you get a positive moderation? First off, gold is not just for jewlery. Just as one example, gold is extremely useful in the manufacture of electronics due to its high conductivity and corrosion resistance. It's also used in many industrial processes. All you had to do was spend 5 minutes educating yourself to find this.
Secondly, I don't understand how you can say backing your money with a car or a machine is better than an element that we can't manufacture. A car will lose value simply by existing whereas the value of gold, unless new veins are found, will continue to rise with the increase in population.
And finally, you can back currency with commodities, but with certain commodities like corn, you run the risk of a bad year devaluing your currency. Gold doesn't have a "bad year". It can't "fail to grow".
Now, I'm not all for a pure gold standard. However, I do support the idea of a commodity-based currency. Basing your currency on the good will of a government is a folly. What's to stop the government from printing the value right out of your money?
You're obviously either a child or socially retarded. Either way, you still don't grasp the concept of design patterns. You're crying about shitty programming, not design. Go read "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software," then come back and perhaps we can have a real conversation.
You're obviously too ignorant to have any sort of real conversation with. The message you replied to was the first one I've written in this thread. You also seem to love the phrase "copypasta". It sounds ludricous. Seriously, stop.
You seem to have an awful lot of angst and misguided ideas about java development. Did James Gosling touch you in your 'no-no' spot when you were a kid? You also either aren't grasping the concept of design patterns, or you're not capable of adequately communicating your ideas.
Why is it completely fair to ban assault rifles? Also, please define assault rifle in a succinct manner. Not trolling, I'm genuinely curious, I hope that you have a well thought out and solid answer.
DJGPP was awesome. I learned a ton about protected-mode memory management, about the lowmem area and all the weird tricks you had to play to utilize DMA and VESA. There were tons of great tutorials and guides on the internet around 1999. I'm glad things have become more available, but I'm definitely glad I had a chance to trudge through DJ's DJGPP and 32-bit DPMI Extender and learn what I did.
No. It involved multiple felonies, while underage drinking is a misdemeanor. The cops wouldn't have cared if it was just some kids drinking. Hell, they probably did it too when they were younger. However, there were copious amounts of drugs involved. The cops certainly cared about that. There were some other things too, but to be perfectly honest, not only was it half a decade ago and I've since forgotten many of the small details, but I really don't want to say too much lest I regret it.
I'm glad someone got some use out of my post. Certainly there are less than desirable aspects of America. But I don't need some holier-than-thou European to point them out, especially when it's based on some fictional account of events he/she invented in their head and not relevant to the story in any manner. I know plenty of great Europeans, I work with them all day. That said, there's plenty of shitty ones too. It's not like America has a monopoly on assholes.
It also looks like we've gone from "read the fucking story" to "try to find hidden meaning where none exists." Jesus Christ Almighty, Slashdot has turned into a gaggle of retards. Listen: they committed crimes, brought evidence to school, used monitored equipment to crow about what they did, and they got caught. It's amazing how many of you are assigning your own version of what happened to an event you're so far removed from that it hasn't affected your life in the slightest. Next time, make sure you have more information, or at the very least some insightful and pertinent or even funny story before you post, ok?
In most, if not all, jurisdictions in America, there are various classes of felonies and misdemeanors. For instance, a class A felony is a "higher" charge than a class D misdemeanor. By "highly", I simply meant higher up the chart, nothing else.
LOL you sure got me! That's right! Were you there, too? You came all the way from Bussum, The Netherlands to help us pour through all the documentation, the photos, interview the kids, and deal with the cops? No? You don't say! Well then how'd you know it was only alcohol? Oh wait, it had nothing to do with alcohol and you're a stupid Eurotrash asshole. Nevermind.
In my case, it's possible but not probable. It would have taken quite an effort to generate the leagues of information (mostly photos) we managed to gather before the hammer fell on these kids. These were very explicit images of people doing very dumb things. Not only that, but the user accounts matched and everything. It would have been more work than just earning the scholarship justly, I'll tell you that. We were very thorough, lawsuits are not good PR, especially right before a referendum.
In the case from the article, that could be certainly be true. I'm glad I'm no longer in school and that when I was I didn't give a rusty rat fuck about scholarships or any of that. It's far too cutthroat for me.
Oh yeah, it took a LONG time with the district's lawyers to make sure things were kosher. There's nothing wrong with logging all the shit they did. Every parent signed an agreement stating all computer activity was logged, every login was prompted by a legalese message stating all activity was subject to logging.
Not that I'm all bonered up about annihilating a kid's future because he/she did some stupid shit while they were young, but the line must be drawn somewhere. Using school equipment to post pictures of highly illegal exploits is beyond that line.
I know you're joking, but I've seen it happen. I worked at a high school for a while and we monitored all traffic looking for keywords. Also, any AIM traffic was logged, and any traffic to/from myspace was logged. We caught a bunch of kids doing some really stupid shit because they updated their myspace pages from school. I believe some of them lost scholarships over it. Oops.
I believe the real motivator is that the damaged drive is a usable core for a remanufacture. When you buy a new/reman auto part, you get a discount if you return your defective core. Note that I said "if". It is by no means mandatory to return a core.
This system Apple has is backwards. The core should be returned to the customer by default, and the customer should be able to opt-in for a discount. It should be plainly written on the repair contract.
You don't HAVE to use all the opcodes, you know. Unless you're writing an operating system, you can probably get away with just MOV, LEA, PUSH, POP, CALL, RET, CMP, the branching opcodes (JZ JNZ JNE, etc.) and the math opcodes. In fact, from what I understand, it's usually better to not even bother with the other opcodes.

Or, you could take a crack at the code and fix it.
If you check out the wikipedia article, there's a few more errata listed under the 'dubious features' heading. It appears most of the severe errata were resolved in the CMOS implementation of the processor.

Salvador Dali's final painting is titled "The Swallow's Tail - Series on Catastrophes". You can look at it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Swallow's_Tail

In your example, the Bus Factor is 1. Dangerous.

Show us, please. I want to see this 20-line algorithmic masterpiece.
I believe you should read the post that started this mess before opening your uninformed mouth.
