If read the fine print correctly I apparently leased an Alco2Jet® Carbonator. On the other hand, I never signed a contract of any kind and I refuse to acknowledge an EULA for hardware I buy.
I assume Sodaclub wants my money for their hardware, wants still to poses "my" hardware and wants to charge me for refills.
That last point alone is a reason to "illegally" fill my own "Alco2Jet® Carbonator" with cheap and illegal CO2.
And when the secret police shows up at my door step I will tell them to piss off, fry on the chair for that and thus die a martyr for the right to own.
quit rather than take the responsability behind that...
I know what you mean. However, my experience is that doing the contrary and to NOT code until everything is documented and blessed by everyone is the wrong way to do it. In large organisations (which where I work mostly), before the documentation is finished a couple of project leaders have come and gone. The GO AHEAD AND CODE is given in despair, the concepts in the docs are overtaken by evolution and the bright people have left.
I am willing to take on a bit more responsibility to have more fun at my work. Having said that, I live in Europe and over here things like responsibility/liability are taken differently than in the US.
Buddy, you just counted the lines that contain microsoft. Without doing an actual analysis myself I take most lines will be code and comments for/on compatibility with MS targeted sites/pages. I don't expect MS to actually contribute to FF since they have a competing product.
I watched the video and was baffled by Linus' attitude.
The guy is bright on technology but what he calls strong opinions I -and almost any business person- should call them shortsighted opinions that do not appreciate other people's way of doing things.
Saying stuff like "Those of you that like SVN would probably want to leave the room. Because it's crap too." is very stupid. I for one like SVN. It's good enough for my purposes and it sure beats quite a few commercial tools I've seen. But I sure want to know hear Linus' thoughts on the topic. Mainly because different ideas keep my mind fresh.
Nah. The guy in Bangalore will NOT be able to come down the office twice a week for a meeting. Doing stuff is easy. Knowing what to do is the tough part.
I have always thought penis enlargement appliances snake oil but now I will reconsider.
In the end it is a husband's duty to provide maximal happiness to the spouse. Even if a PE kit it doesn't make any sense I now feel I have the obligation to at least give it a go.
Thanks MRT for opening my eyes. I am forever in your debt.
Oh please let it be so and I'll have a clean conscience when I buy a sports car I will almost exclusively use to drive around the countryside just to enjoy myself. Bad conscience is an enjoyment pooper.
Today I was in my PC shop where I saw a PS3 with a racing game. I went up to it and studied the graphics from 8'' distance. Nice but not overwhelming graphics. The race cars didn't look very realistic and the racing was as unreal as in every game I played before (mainly GP3 and GP4 on a decent PC.) Hardware may be bleading edge, the game wasn't.
In case of virtual rape... you do virtual time. (And probably get a new subscription.)
I don't want not to mock rape because that's one of the most inconsiderate and hurtful things to do. However, taking virtual stuff too serious gets on my nerves. I still can get around people being taxed for materializing virtual assets into real dollars but criminalizing virtual rape is plain pathetic. Most perverted acts performed virtually without involving living creatures can at worse be found disgusting but cannot be an offence. Also, I'd rather see perverts sodomise data structures than living creatures.
OK Xerox, so I'm a wanker. Like many of us. I confess. But how the hell are you able to deduct my age from the 2% non-porn related clicks? You'd conclude I have a stamina of a 16 year old and you'd be wrong. Unfortunately.
I believe I speak for a considerable amount of non-US readers which are in complete awe of the US. The land that brought us so many outstanding scientific achievements. The land that seems to be divided in brilliancy and utter ignorance. The land that wants to introduce creationism as a science in schools. The land where division of religion and state seems to vanish.

Berkeley did similar work back in the 70-ies. Letting people see all kinds of colors. While hacking BSD.
Om mainframes assembly is still used. More than on *nix. Assembly on mainframes is backwards compatible. There are programmers out there that are still more knowledgeable about assembly on the mainframe than say C. Writing intermediate to good C together with the optimisation capabilities of the compiler should do the trick but still sometimes assembly is still preferred.
For instance, I have seen code written in assembly for base64 encoding/decoding. Reason for doing so is to allow encoding/decoding to take place in a CICS transaction (which must be completed as quickly as possible.)
First of all, judging from the video I must say Ben and Brian excel at managing projects.
Now, there seems to be a sort of OSS code of honour which is: "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" (gesticulate idiotically like some rappers do.) How often did Ben and Brian say the word? If you see this as a management training video, why do they bother to educate already educated people? Isn't respect a matter of course?
In corporate interaction respect is implicit. Disrespect bares consequences.
Why is it that so many OSS developers require some 'hood protocol to communicate? I sometimes feel like in a movie where it's us against the bad guys in power and that therefore we do funny hand shakes to distinguish ourselves. (OK, I exaggerate a bit but understand what I mean.) It's so tyring and time consuming. In corporate coding you ask for stuff, get an answer and move on.
I remember one time when it took quite some while to get an answer from a developer for some trivial issue. I made a remark saying that the guy most likely had other more urgent things to attend to than my little issue. This is a compliment; It means I appreciate some horribly busy guy is willing to do some shitty work for me. The guy in question got mad and started to lecturing me. He of course never touched the fact although my issue was minor, he was horribly late in his reply. To set him at ease I had to spend time on explaining the remark. This is so tiring and puts me a bit off OSS coding. I nevertheless continue to contribute.
Message to the OSS prima-donnas: Read also books on communication and social techniques. They contain usefull stuff you need to know when communicating. See them as manuals on social behaviour.
... 6 in 10 Americans believe... ... 92% believe in a personal God...
This is quite clearly a study on USA population -assuming the term "Americans" refers to the people in the USA. The Americans are not representative in matters of belief. Americans tend to believe more in God then say Europeans. Unless by miracle genes mutated in the Americans, the study is limited in that it does not seem to rule out cultural inclinations.
I looked 'a the site an' I don' understan' wha she took surgery in the first place. I mean, there's dozens a lads on this forum that would 'ave given 'er one before. An' after fo' that matter.

As soon as you own a hammer everything around you starts looking like a nail.

Get a grip buddy. Appraciate Dell's doing a survey. Rreport HTML bugs and patches like you would with any other site and don't take cheap shots.
