I personally don't see it as a cliche, or at least a pronounced as many other cliches. I do however, agree with your choices of alternatives (The zombie ones at least).
At any rate, I was at a company that went under too, but I was in the first round of layoffs-I got a 1 months severence check...I thought I was unlucky. My best friend (And manager at the time) waited around another 5 months, and didn't get a single check. Now I see myself as the lucky one:)
The game is a TON of fun, I loved it. Admittedly, it gets a little hard at times, I wish there were ways I could just skip a certain point (or points) and progress and come back them later. It's all a checkpoint system, where if I beat certain maps then others are unlocked.
Especially cool is the way the graphics blur when you hit turbo. The soundtrack gets old, the announcer is boring and very irratating. I still haven't figured out how to get the custom soundtracks working...perhaps someone could enlighten me.
This game will almost certainly have you hooked for weeks or more.
I also suspect the master data is stored in a different place Really, I don't mean to be mean, but of course it is. That's one of the purposes of replication.
MySQL is perfect for this. I agree, I've had a tremendous amount of success with this type of scenario.
And the data is not really mission-critical So it should be no problem for Jeremy Zawodny to convince Senior Management of this newfound piece of information? I'd have to say he or anyone else would have a really friggen hard time convincing anyone at yahoo (and their finance/my yahoo customers) that the availability of their data is _not_ mission critical.
Database crash? Just repopulate by querying the various data sources. Though that is entirely possible, I highly doubt that is their disaster recovery plan. Besides, even if they were using Oracle or MSSQL, this plan would still work.
I know if I had a choice of ways I could die, I would always choose space over just about anything else.
Sure as hell beats getting hit by that drunk driver tomorrow night. I don't wanna die in no friggen car after coming home from some meaningless place. And I don't want to die in some jet some religous fuck decides to run into a building. I'm gonna die in space, dammit.
in an afternoon between other projects. I'd say right after fixing the CEO's home PC because his son installed the latest ActiveX game on it, and right before the 3 hour Monday meeting that 0h-so-raises productivity.
I don't think it's very wise to consider yourself safe, even if you have a router (or a firewall, which I presume is what you meant). If you still want to...feel free to, but don't come crying to me if it's not all you thought it would be.
Yeah you're right. 50 years ago, computers (mainframes) were owned only by companies that were able to buy and develop them. Computers completely destoryed our economy as well as forever preventing some people from ever generating income again. We never adapted, the world would be so much better without computers. We should just all go back to thousands and thousands of accountants, maybe even an abacus or two. Hell, while we're at it, lets all re-adopt papyrus.
Personally, I don't see any harm in AOL forcing you to adhere to standards. In fact, I love it. Most internet problems stem from people not adhereing to standards, such as using ip adresses as MX records, not using a fqdn on an ehlo, or not listening to (550|450).
Despite AOL sucking donkey balls, they have contributed to making the internet a better place in some ways.

Yeah, I know, I just didn't mention that part. It seems that when I'm in a rut, I just can't win anything, and at this point, I'm in a rut:)

I recommend VanHalen "Running With the Devil"
I was thinking more along the lines of "Offspring: Bad Habit"

Seems that finance.yahoo.com has.
I would, in a heartbeat.
Think about it...

Gen-X'ers had best plan on not having Social Security, if they want to survive retirement.
Uh...exactly who does survive retirement:)?

LOL
style_point++ for nastard!
My point still stands.
Yes, we need to help Apple profit, so their legal department can continue to set things straight.
Does that mean there will be a quality ipod someday, like one that you can replace batteries in?
He has a point. You can also replace in batteries in the one you built. Assuming you put some time in, you're also not tied to particular formats.
This couldn't be it.
JPL is not dumb enough to use java.
Guess he's one of the one you pissed off with your ipod dissing. Keep up the good work.
I just started working with some z-series this week....very very impressive. Get some p series (power5) demos coming in very soon.
Holy crap, I'd almost have a neighbor here in South Dakota!
south park, episode: you got served

Good, because your english still sucks.
He said he's already got one!
