Or some such. The point being that you should have meaningful comments, and chances are with oodles of If's, sticking end-if after each closing brace will probably be less than informative.
Apparently there are oodles of televisions available at Best Buy that can be purchased for mere hundreds of dollars, but after thousands of man hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars invested into equipment and experimentation, I have learned a lot more by building my own television than I ever would have by buying one.
I think I'll even build a color television within the next three years!
Seriously, advancement of society DEPENDS on NOT repeating the mistakes already made by others. You'll have plenty of chances to make mistakes no one has made before after you've brushed up on mistakes you shouldn't repeat.
They told me the sedan I bought could emit 1.21 jigawatts, but when got it home and took it out of the box I found out that the flux capacitor wasn't included.

Point is, Wal-Mart harms far, far more than just the people who are unfortunate enough to have to work for them.
And that's a steaming pile of bullshit.
Wal-Mart is just the vehicle - it is the CONSUMERS who put small retail businesses out of business, and it is the consumers who force companies to lower quality to accomodate lower prices, because it is the CONSUMERS who CHOOSE to buy cheap instead of quality.
It's called free enterprise. Wal-Mart is successful because it gives consumers what they want.
If people don't want to work for Wal-Mart, they can get a job somewhere else. If they are not qualified for a better job, they will have to learn to live on the meager wages they deserve.
ANYONE can go to college. It may take a lot of work, it may take good grades in high school, it may even take a tour of duty in Iraq - but if you're working for minimum wage at a Wal-Mart, it's because somewhere along the line, you made decisions that resulted in that outcome.
If you walk into a store ans steal a DVD and get busted, you will probably get probation/community service/small fine, depending on your previous convictions and jurisdiction.
If you go online and DOWNLOAD a DVD, that could cost you up to $250,000.
The moral of the story is, download from Best Buy, in person.
(Ok, not really, as Best Buy will probably catch you, and the MPAA won't, but it is interesting to note the different ways the law treats actual theft vs. mythical theft.)
One of the payment methods we accept is Paypal. I have been receiving complaints about problems with people paying since Friday. I verified it myself today just to be sure, as most "paypal errors" reported by users turn out to be user errors.
But if you did go out and rob banks and kite checks, would you not learn something from what worked and what did not?
There's a question of whether learning to practice is faster/cheaper than learning through study, and I doubt that either is better for all situations.
Obviously, robbing a bank for practice is a bad idea, as someone is liable to get shot. But hacking a chess site is probably not so bad, since potential harm is low.
I called to cancel a free trial account (needed phone access, and while they wanted to have a 15 minute conversation about WHY I was cancelling, I wasn't harassed to not cancel. This was in June.
The FCC can say "Any VHF receiver must also receive UHF."
They can say "Any television receiver must include a v-chip."
They can say "Any television receiver must receive a broadcast flag, and include the broadcast flag with any signal retransmission"
What the FCC can *NOT* say is "Any television signal recording device (VCR/TiVo) must respect the broacast flag", as those devices are not receivers. Once the signal is off the airwaves and into wires, FCC mandate ends.
Now, they *COULD* say that "Any television receiver may not externally transmit any signal with a broadcast flag", but, well, that'd be dumb.
The thing that makes an anti-matter weapon so effective is that it will almost certainly kill whoever is dumb enough to invent one before they can release the weapon on the rest of the world.
If only nuclear weapons had worked so well, the planet would be a much safer place.
"We are pleased to report that the newly invented anti-matter weapon has killed its creator, ending the anti-matter weapon arms race."

I own a program that myself and one other person do the development of.
His If syntax is always

Which always frustrates me due to vertical space wastage, but it makes it easy to determine who to blame when a bug is found.
You only catch bad cheaters, by definition.

Free as in speech, well, not all that necessary here.
Major news media target a 5th grade reading level.

It's called PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
If you want above-average wages, go to college. Start a business. DO something.
If you're just going to show up to work when you're told and do a job *ANYONE* can do, you deserve the crap pay you're getting. That's life.
And, Americans agree with me, based on how they vote with their wallets.

Comparing breaking into a recreational website with breaking into someone's home is not an equitable comparison.

In brakes vs. engine, brakes always win.
Most ICC control over interstate trucking was abandoned in 1994, and the agency was terminated at the end of 1995.
I'm pretty sure my software, keyboard, mouse and monitor are not regulated by an agency that *NO LONGER EXISTS!*

What can you do with a cluster that you can't with one of these?
Spend a few million on something else.
If you get the Operton Prime, it can also drive itself around.
