From the article: All you have to do to blow your monthly download limit with Sympatico or Videotron is to leave your computer running with a P2P file-sharing program turned on
Hey, there should be a law that we can deduct
outgoing bytes from the incoming bytes and only be changed for net bytes downloaded. (This should put an end to P2P freeloaders!)
From the atricle: Verizon's user allegedly has been swapping songs by artists including Billy Joel, Barry White, Aerosmith, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, N'Sync and Britney Spears.
The RIAA is cruel.
If this user's name is released, he/she will
become a laughingstock for sorry taste in music.
You don't get it: Java/UML is a tool for managers
to hire more people and delay timelines for real
deliverables, as in "Let's see, I need 4 Rational Rose power users, they'll need a couple months for initial class hierarchy design, I'll need a submanager to supervise them, (you know, this system is going to be damn hard to actually make work, hopefully the requirements will change and we'll never have to finish this).."
When I went to AAAI in Philly in 1986 (in my LISP hacker days) half of my coworkers (mathematicians, linguists, logicians, all damned good AI researchers) either got lost en route to the hotel, or got on the wrong shuttle bus to the conference, or forgot their presentation slides, or...
Pinball machines are expensive and time consuming to maintain, with all the moving parts to be cleaned and replaced - not so for video games. Arcades have been trying to wean us from pinball, and seem to have pretty much succeeded.
Or performance. Even though multiple ways of doing the same thing looks like it does the same thing, it really doesn't and can vary greatly in efficiency.
Ah yes, of course. I was fixated on development
time since *I* write program *other* people use;-)
With Perl, there are so many ways to do the
same thing that the only basis for choosing
one over another is either artistic or minimal
keystrokes. OK, or readability if I had an
extra hour to program each day.

"...to VERIFY Apollo and other landing sites"
Great, they're going to send back fake pictures of the Apollo landing site...

Thank you for a perfect example of false laziness.
