It would only forestall the inevitable. Sure, bump the CITY field to 128, hell 4096 for all I care. Then some enterprising Chamber Of Commerce produces Yahoo!, California, or maybe Upper\East\Side\Manhattan, and something shorts a gasket.
Uh, Time Warner, the one that's part of AOL Time Warner, the one that's imploding, right now, as I type? Laying off people? Running aground? Falling apart? That Time Warner?
With 99% of them, if you install as admin, it'll run as user just fine.
WinXP could do better in this regard; most users (of course) have no clue. There should be some sort of a wizard to promote you to Admin, just for the install, then go back down to User.

Lemme see if I have this right - you wish that, instead, first dumb folk had used computers, then computers got popular, then the smart folk started using them. Ah, tell me again - which group are you?

Do you doubt it?

Quadrophonic, a poor man's system? Shit, that was top dollar uberstereophile territory. No regular highschool rocker boy had that.
And 'countless'? What, you can't count beyond twenty?
> I wonder if this could cause U.S.-Canadian tensions?
Oh yes, I'm sure this will cause a great hue and cry. Pickets, demonstrations, turmoil. My oh my. What shall we do.
I have a floppy write-protect tab (remember those?) on that page in K&R.
How can someone even remotely familiar with quotes misspell its?

> Try that with W*nd*ws!
I don't know about Wenduws or Wondiws, but that's built right in for Windows XP.
If you're that confused about Windows, I wonder what your 14-year-old is going to pull on your BSD box.
I am the only here who despises the phrase "Am I the only one here ...".

> just as NOONE was hiring
> noone'll buy them
What is this mysterious Noone Corporation, that's hiring and buying? Oh, you mean no one.
How could you bollox that, but get you're and it's and even guys'll right?

Ha ha ha ha!
Thank you, I needed that.
I asked the Captain to play "Jimi Hendrix's Strat" at a show a few years ago; he declined, saying he "hadn't heard it since [he] recorded it".
Ooh, and they dropped off the Zombie tour just before Seattle. Damn it (ha!), they owe us a show, and we're not on the current minitour.
The "top 90%" includes 90% of the pool. He's saying he's better than 10% of them.
You don't say you're in the top 95% of your class, but rather the top 5%.
I'll admit, I can't really tell if he was saying he rocks or sucks at UT.
Hey, I'll give him points for spelling you're and it's correctly!
> I'm only in the top 90%th percentile for UT2k3 CTF
Care to rethink that?
> HTH
I doubt it will.
> Time to buy some shares of RedHat and Mandrake, eh?
Yes, absolutely! If you wait much longer, you'll lose the chance altogether.

Let me guess - dpt means 'delivering pizza tonight'.
> And IE is loosing ground.
Is that where you pick up rocks, and throw them around?
Ohhh, wait, you meant losing ground.
I doubt IE is doing either.
I use the 83-key Compaq 'DeskPro' or 'DeskPro 286' keyboard. No F11 or F12 for me, bud.
I have about a dozen of them, to last me a lifetime.
