Last night I went to play HL2. I noticed that were two popup messages from stream. I didn't even know stream was running in the background. It told me it could finally vaildate my copy. Which it couldn't do when I installed it, I glad it let me play without it. It also told me that that copy of hl2 could only work with my new steam account, so much for trading it. Also if I lost me steam account your screwed message so print it now.
The only popup was some advertisment...huh...what the hell is this crap. I guess I agreed to be spammed by steam somewhere. How long before that open port gets hacked?
Oh well good game though..

It takes about 45 sec to create do a mkisofs and burn a 45 meg image. It takes 6 min's to burn a text around the outside of the cd. The text is so fate you can bearly read it.

I posted a Programming position in the Oregonian and all I got was 20 replies. I mean, just cus your out of a job doesn't mean you should stop looking. Where are all the real programmers? So is the market really that bad?

I was a computer programmer(3C0X2) for the AF. Almost all my training was done using ada. In practice if the system was going into a plane it was done in ada; otherwise, we did it in C. We had to get waivers(pain) just to use C, but that is what we thought of ada. It's true ada helps elimate bugs by being a strict type cast lang. If I had to risk my life to a program, it would be written in ada.
Most avionics use multiable systems which vote, so if you lose one system your still fine. 1.5 million lines, I bet that thing takes a week to compile it all.
