Yeah, I think I'll get that 4 year warranty on my Halo 2 just incase... Best Buy is way too overpriced and they force their employees to harass customers with warranty schemes. Better off going to CompUSA, saving a few bucks and waiting 3 months for that mail-in rebate.
Java maybe a clean language, but if you work for a company that wants an application in any reasonable period of time, Java might not be your answer. I've seen so many contractors milk Java and when they show you the code, its bloated and convoluted. There is a right language for the right job -- if you have a handful of users, why use Java? Coldfusion runs on just about any platform and examples like Benorama.com show that if you want to have MVC with traditional model 1 languages its possible. For a little over a thousand bucks (which most companies can pay for) you can have a server like CFMX that is easy and can handle most siteloads. Java is such a lovely idea until you are bogged down for a deadline and you have to google up exception errors trying to figure out why your JavaMail hangs.
I'd rather give my $$ to the RIAA than the evil Wal-Mart. I don't like my music filtered, dubbed, or taken out by their "morals". Why don't they charge.95 a song and pay their employees enough $$ so they don't have to encourage them to get on public assistance programs.
I think people forget in this whole argument how communities, neighborhoods, cities, and states are affected when jobs are moved overseas. There is a demoralizing effect that we've seen in this country for the last 30 years. American companies have an obligation to be socially conscious about their country and to keep jobs here. Its all the circle of life and by going overseas just to say to Wall Street that earnings are up 50% is criminal. The bottom line is killing us.
Even Gordon Gekko would have a hard time pulling this off if SCO was offering him 20% of the treasure... weeks after weeks of lawsuits and radical SCO stock prices... Even if they don't win the cases, I bet you have plenty of insider trading that goes right along with the press releases. Caldera stock was around $.50, then shoots up in no time to $20, then back down to $14. Ultimately, its the open-source community takes the hit for this kind of greed. Its a real shame.
It just seems rude and inconsiderate to have 2 releases of each LOTR. Its a sick way to make $$ and a slap in the face to the fans. Show some respect and make one release with everything. The movie industry pulled this shit out of their ass with Star Wars before IV came out... and then re-released 1,2,3 w/ bonus features.
I just can't understand how you can seperate one from the other. Barr's record on being backward in Washington is very consistant. I picked Mary Jane as a great example, but there are plenty of others...
There are clearly two different definitions of freedom here. Why would you want someone fighting on your side with his record? How could he honestly think with clarity on these issues when he imposed his will on the vote in Washington DC? What is the difference between that and "feds to execute search warrantless searches and to convene secret grand juries..." It is an abuse of power and someone imposing their will on a group of people.
There is no world of difference. It is a fundamental flaw in thinking. When you realize that, you will start to see what is real.
So, he is for civil liberties and freedom ONLY if you agree if its 'morally' acceptable. Does it really matter that it was Marijana? Regardless of Washington DC being a federal district, The whole point is the people have voted and decided on an issue and it was completely overruled by the Federal Government. The hypocrisy is amazing! How can you be worried about censorship, Patriot Act, and government abuses when you were the very person who prevented the people from governing themselves?
I have to agree- Dean is a total putz! Did anyone see him on Meet the Press??? Wow, this guy embarrassed himself.
I imagine any candidate should use the internet, and you better believe they will spam to win. Its all about $$ - and if they can spam and get out their name, I have no doubt in my mind they will. $$ is everything in this corrupt system.
I'm an independent and I found Dean just as politically wrong as Bush. Unfortunately the 2 party system has let us down again with polorized views of the world. The politicans are going to force issues that have no effect on our daily lives... and how did we let Bush get all of this religion in government?
When Dean talks its completely nonsense. Just listen to what he is actually saying. Its meaningless.
If we work from Jan to May just to pay taxes, don't you think there should be enough money to run government??? None of the candidates want to talk specifics... they just say raise or lower taxes. Those words are meaningless!
"Religion, politics, society are exploiting you, and you are being conditioned by them; you are being forced in a particular direction. You are not human beings; you are mere cogs in a machine. You suffer patiently, submitting to the cruelties of environment, when you, individually, have the possibilities of changing them." - Krishnamurti
No dude, I said 6 lines of code, not 1.
But anyway, I agree- even though the queries are relatively simple, you would need a powerful enough server to handle all the hits. I've tried to get on a couple of times and its very slow. Maybe they are running NT...
If you noticed, there isn't much to the site... a few servlets, jsps, and some queries. 6 lines of code maybe... When they do start charging $$, I'm sure a bunch of clones will pop up but it will filter out some of the fakers.
"The US Government labeled beer(alcohol) as a drug, BeerAdvocate.com begs to differ..."
Ok, so all of the sudden, advocates don't want to label beer or alcohol a drug, but if you have a website called maryjaneadvocate.com, you are controversial...
Regular exercise including wrist and rotator cuff exercises makes the difference for me too. Stretch. Having a balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, take a daily multivitamin and taking little breaks every 45-50 minutes will do great things. Get out, take in some sun, and take a walk or take the steps to lunch. Take public transportation to work just to get the blood flowing. Listen to your body and use common sense...
Which brings up a point about drugs in general. They are drugs and as drugs they will influence your perception at some level. That's common sense at its finest. Yes, we have a responsibility to learn about how they effect the body- and if we choose to use them, understand what they will do to you.
Having 6-10 cups of coffee a day, eating penquin mints, drinking code red, getting kidney stones and severe stomach aches will probably tell you that is too much caffeine for your body to handle. Common sense again... regardless of age. If you are in pain, your body is telling you something. Stop and listen.
If you smoke 3 packs a day and can't breath, sleep, or get it up, you probably should cut back.
Believe it or not, there are folks out there who use drugs moderately. They enjoy a few beers, have a cup of coffee, a smoke, and it isn't taken to the extreme. Its a freedom, and we are slowly loosing that right to choose what we want to do.
This is the lesson we should be teaching... Open our eyes, listen, and question everything.
As higher education turns into giant corporations students are being viewed as numbers in the finance book. Online education is a way to make money, not to sincerely teach students. Soon we'll have big fat pepsi labels on our textbooks- AND WHY NOT?? We got new stadiums to build! In the world of programming where the trends are constantly changing, you would do yourself more good by buying a book on Amazon, reading the forums, trying the tutorials, and just code.
People choose IE because it's there and it's the default.
Windows users choose IE because it loads fast, more forgiving to web pages with shotty code, and of course free. Who wants to pay 40 bucks for a browser? I imagine anyone who uses Opera probably got a crack for it. Netscape is a fat pig and is the great shakespearean tragedy of the web. Mozilla is the only decent alternative to IE, but like others have said, AOL is slowly dying.
"It's amazing to me that people will even *consider* it part and parcel of dealing with Windows that they can't even fathom there are alternatives (i.e. virus free ways of dealing with things), sad really!"
Why do I deal with Windows? One word: Games
Once the linux community can build games in a timely fashion that can compete with Windows, I'll switch:)
After millions of hours playing MOO and MOO2, the real appeal will be the ability of MOO3 to offer a simple way to manage the massive colonies as the game goes on. The battle scenes should be fine. I read the strategy guide to and its fascinating with 16 total civs. The only heartbreaking thing was getting rid of the Murmurshans... The cat race is no longer with us.
Struts is great for newbies too...

Struts Kick Start
·
· Score: 1
As someone who has recently moved over to Java from other languages, Struts has really helped me understand MVC and the power of XML to control large applications. Servlets are extrememly powerful and robust and very handy to be controlled from one line of code in the config.xml... If you want to see some of cooler things you can do with struts, check out keyboardmonkey's site- servlet tree hierarchy... very handy.
For all those who have never tried out the struts framework- give it a chance... and you don't need a $50 book to try it out. Try out Ted's Tutorials and learn through example!
Finally, John K is back and its a great part of Adult Swim. CN went crazy there for a while molesting us with massive amounts of Scooby Doo and Flintstones... Cartoon Cartoon is a bit much too as they play them all the time! Thank god they balance it out with some of the classics - Tom & Jerry, Acme Hour, Toon Heads, etc. CN is getting closer, but still needs tuning.

If I need to stay up now I try to eat pepperocini's
That's the flush feeling of having to sit on the toilet for about 30 minutes...

I have a hard time believing Bob Barr is for civil liberties and people deciding their own laws- The people of Washington DC voted to use medical marijuana with a YES Vote and it was immediately blocked by Barr.
So, he is for civil liberties and freedom ONLY if you agree if its 'morally' acceptable. Does it really matter that it was Marijana? Regardless of Washington DC being a federal district, The whole point is the people have voted and decided on an issue and it was completely overruled by the Federal Government.

We need to wake up and see the whole story.
