Often the comments just end up deliniating sections so I can skip to them easily "// check parameters...// setup the connection...// submit queries...// check return values"
For me that's the main reason I comment. I started off as a maintenance programmer and quick often I was looking through the codebase trying to find the procedure (or section of some 600 line behemoth) that I needed to fix. In a case like that I don't want to read 100s of lines of code I have no damn interest in. The key to these is to keep the comments quite vague.
The other times I comment is to clarify code (quite often you are only allowed to make a specific fix on code that is a clusterf*ck) or to explain why I didn't do something in what seems like the 'obvious' way.
It's still a flawed thought experiment. Parent's key point was
"There are a lot of artists out there whose music I enjoy that I would not have if I had not downloaded their music"
There was no *additional* cost to the manufacturers for the music they 'stole' but there was benefit arising from that in the form of the music and tickets they bought
I especially enjoy the way US Customs treat you like scum when you've just come off a long trans-Atlantic flight. There was a sign up saying they promised to treat you courteously and politely and that you could complain if you found that wasn't the case but something told me complaining might not be such a great idea.
My mate got it on torrent and then went back and paid them £10 on the site (without downloading). Suspect quite a few folk will be doing it that way round.
I think MS are still bashing on about their 'patents'. If you patent something and then I (without even knowing your patent exists) invent the same thing you still have the patent. I can't manufacture something using what I've invented without running foul of the patent that you hold.
we can access webmail and it's a godsend for the twice weekly Lotus Notes problems. Nice to have email that actually works!

You're either a troll or a moron but what the hell, I'll bite...
Maureen O'Gara (SCO friendly journalist) attempted to publish PJs photo, address and photographs of her house and car previously but got the details wrong. Somehow I can imagine someone from SCO 'accidently' letting slip that PJs would be at a certain place at a certain time if someone wanted to be there with a camera.
and the industry has found that at $0.99. The iTMS has been an overwhelming success
Yeah, and the music industry hates it and keeps trying to get Apple to allow it to get the price increased.
I suppose the 2 biggest things if I was looking at this would be:
Future prospect
Money
The perl shop sounds cool but from your research it looks like the.Net/MS stuff give you better prospects (but it might be worth looking into what kind of work you'll have - not worth it to make shitty changes to shitty code). The money depends on your situation. 66% would seem to beat 20% but if you're pretty happy with your current salary then it might not be such a big issue for you.
Got to admit - wish I had your problem (currently slaving away with Oracle Forms - shudder...

Shouldn't that be "his mind is not for rent, to any god or government. - Rush"?
(Don't blame me - Geddy Lee sang it in my head when I read the sig);-)
yeah, found another great colabration feature just the other day
turns out if you accept an invite to a recurring meeting and then later you delete that email, Notes kindly removes all occurances of the meeting (and doesn't bother you by saying it'll do so).
Look out for KillNotes - only way we can kill a crashed Notes session without having to reboot.
Why not stop moaning about it and create an account (free) and post from that? PJ's had SCO astroturfers hitting her sight and has had 'friends' of SCO posting her personal details to the internet at the same time she was getting death threats. So she might be a little oversensitive. Get over it.

Not this time. Before I've gone on after a redesign and thought it looked 'odd'. This time I just thought it looked shit

I think the idea is that since the / is your search you're setting it to be empty ("")
I've always gone in via Newark. Maybe that's the difference.

She received death threats from nutcases. Can't imagine why she wouldn't want them to know what she looks like and where she lives...

Governments know they can't introduce one, make it compulsary and make it a requirement to carry it at all times in one go.
1. Introduce compulsary ID card2. Make it a requirement to carry it at all times
3. Profit! erm... sorry, Police State!
"you cannot teach him facts about a bicycle that he doesn't know, but he could learn to ride a bycicle, if he doesn't know how"
So you could teach him to ride a bike but he'd be unable to to remember that he can ride a bike? Now that would be a weird experience.
