Standard SCUBA is plain air, just compressed. For very deep or deeper and longer dives, you can get certified to do mixed gas diving where it is a mix of helium and oxygen instead of nitrogen and oxygen - avoids nitrogen narcossis and the bends.
Or parents could be parents. Don't want you kids looking at something? Act as the filter don't let them buy/play games that expose them to things you don't want 'em to see....
So the idea piece of code would just be a collection of function definitions, and then a series of calls to those functions. Even if none of the functions were called more than once?
Wow.
(And yeah, I've played with C++ and Java in school but our instructors weren't qualified to teach finding your butt with both hands)
I tend to write like that until I see a particular piece of code being used a second time, esp. from a different location. Then it is time to include it in a functions file...
As a self taught programmer/code monkey, is there anything wrong with that?
Well, the firefighter mentioned is flawed - he is *at work* waiting for a call to come in. On call is not at work, but available should the shit hit the fan.
The hospitals I worked in, the staff that were on call (CAT scan techs, nuke med techs, OR nurses, recovery room nurses, dialysis folks) were paid $1 or $2 per hour just for carrying the beeper. Should they get called in, they were guaranteed 2 hours of pay, but they had to stay waiting for something to do for that whole time (a CT tech could come in and scan someone in 10 min - but they then had to hang out and wait for the extra hour and 50 minutes). This pay was at regular pay rates/levels, so night shift differential or holiday differential kicked in, as would over time if their total for the pay week was over 40 hours.
So... followign this, our poor over worked web master would be paid say $1/hr for totin his beeper or whatever. If he gets called, he comes in and fixes the issue, gets a minimum of 2 hours of work at his hourly rate, and probably gets over time. Sounds good. In reality, he's probably a salaried employee, so over time is out the window, and if he's lucky he may be allowed to leave 15 minutes early on Friday to make up for it.
No, I've no idea on how to add sound to a power point slide, but if you want to come by later I'll be setting up a network to do distributed number crunching on, you should come by it will be really cool!
Approximately half of it is in city limits and subject to city sales tax, half of it isn't.
How do you determine *where* I am? Oh, and the city limits just changed due to an annexation vote back in June, expanded by approx 500 yards from where it used to be, in one direction.
Counties and cities have their own sales taxes, so a state lookup or even a zip code lookup wouldn't cut it. You'd need to know what municipality the buyer is in, then get state, county, and municipality tax rates.
So lets say you have a team of 5 British coders (or Canadians, etc) and you add an American to the mix... either way, what one group has learned as the "correct" way to spell it is the "alternative" way for the other member(s)
Not saying which is right and which is wrong, just that it helps for everyone to use the same spelling...
For me, it is bad spelling in variables and such. Or correct but "alternative" spellings - like honor_no_cache vs. honour_no_cache
Working with fellow students in a group (with one student being from England) brought this out, and in general poor spelling - category vs. catagory, etc.
Fortunately mostly fixable with find/replace, but still a bear to deal with.
Heh. I've got a short run of CAT5 going from phone box outside to a rafter in my attic, each wire spread out, stripped, and wrapped around a nail. Then CAT3 from the nails to the phone jacks in the few rooms that have a landline phone. Voice quality is no issue.
My DSL on the other hand is CAT5 from the phone box outside up into the attic down thru a wall to a wall plate. And I get constant disconnects due to "timeout waiting for PADO" which apparently is due to too much noise on the line.
While you are going for teh funnay, why not instead insist that any government related site run on a.gov domain? Its not like domains cost anything, and it would be fairly obvious if you weren't at a government site. Example - whats the site that you can get free credit reports from that is associated with the FTC? annualcreditreport.com, freecreditreport.com, checkyourcredit.com? Why shouldn't it be creditreport.ftc.gov?
Yup, even for "just" development, virtualization has been a great gift. With one or two beefy machines, each developer can have an exact mirror of a production environment, and not cause issues on the production side or even for other developers while testing code and such.

Take some responsibility here folks!
How about if I *know* my ISP sends out a search domain page instead of a NXDOMAIN response?

Yeah but the chick that plays Alice had some nudie pix leaked about a month ago...

I'd go this direction as well, but scale back on the hardware - maybe one of the (lower power consumption) boards meant for media center pcs, etc.
Oh, sorta like fark.com you mean... minus the gorgor links...
Ok, lets look at my local zip code - 32615

So is 1337 Mockingbird Lane within the city limits or not?

Cute pdf, or even a Samba server with a fake "printer" shared that creates PDFs and emails 'em back to the user...
Only the living ones... the dead ones vote for free.
I occasionally do something similar, but instead of hand writing I'll use a text file or OOo document - and then post in our LMS for later access.
But what is the question?
But telnetting to port 80 and doing manual GET requests, then parsing yourself is sooo much faster. Built in adblocking and everything!

Still behind id software and their GPL releases of the game engines.
