whoh, whoh, whoh, whoh. hold on a second there. managers don't care about the size of the userbase. usually size of userbase and revenues are related, but that's got nothing to do with profit. try "maximum of revenues fr om a minimum of customers that we ^H^H our lower-paid support staff ever have to deal with for more than two minutes."

how is it that goatse.cx qualifies as words?

so.. it would seem they consider Google's opinions to have the force of law, and that appearing lower on Google's system (as opposed to simply being removed) equates to corporate execution. wish i could have got drugs that good back in the day.
I don't know about you, but i have HTTP_REFERER set to FALSE in my browser. Those marketing drones get nothing from me, nothing. Plus, I get to see who still has 'fatalsToBrowser' code left in production web pages. Assuming that all browsers send that data is unwarranted.
is going to have code that is exactly the same as an other project that is equivalant, accounting for variable name being different
the variable names are not likely to be much different, if linux code writers are in the habit of naming vars meaningfully. on one recent midterm question, i don't think there was a single student who didn't use the variable name 'numbersEntered' to keep track of how many numbers a user had entered.
if you're going to plug _startide_rising_, don't forget _earth_, (also by brin) which is a lot more geek and a bit of a longer read.
binaryhead, be warned: if you start reading _startide_rising_, you might end up reading _sundiver_ and then _the_uplift_war_. then you'll end up reading brin's other trilogy: _brightness_reef_ , _infinity's_shore_ , and _heaven's_reach_ and then you'll be late for work like i was
i've now got a groovy plan to bugger my instructors. i will include this code in all my submitted assignments.
they will have to contact me directly once they realize they can't mark the assignment if they can't read it, and i sent the email on time, so they can't give me zero... that's a (wild guess here) three day extension for most emailed assginments. Wa-hoo!
yes, professor,i have a copy of the file i sent you...
and there's a half-decent CYA, "i erased the email - my spool was getting full." this won't work if they're willing to switch email clients to something sensible that doesn't choke on the message
To: From: Date: Subject: BEGIN this text will be treated as an attachment
ummm...not believe, exactly, but suspect. we've been known to slashdot IBM , fer chrissakes. and i seem to recall that it was not the first time, either.
well, yeah, you know that, s/he probably knows that, but the law doesn't 'know' anything except precedent. if i recall correctly from my edumacashun, it's considered fair use to quote 'short excerpts', and therein lies the problem. anything over one word _could_ be construed as not short.
i can't believe i prompted swearing. on slashdot, no less.
yes, some people are doing that. and that's what/. allows, even if it wasn't what it was designed for. it's only censorship if the moderators dig into your user file and increase your threshhold above -1. you are browsing at -1, aren't you? if you're not, remember that that's the default, and _you_ changed it.
if i put a fresh cup of coffee between my legs in a car, i have a reasonable expectation that it will hurt if i spill it. to think that i'll be in the hospital for a week if i spill it is _NOT_ reasonable. i can't think of when or where ordering takeout food required a Transportation of Dangerous Goods Certificate...
so if i like the ice cubes in my pop to be -70 degrees, so that less are needed to keep my pop cold for longer, does that mean a restaurant that serves pop that way wouldn't be liable if some wingnut customer tried to pick one out and lost a fingertip to frostbite?
