Oh come on, you just want more CADs posted to TPB for you CNC machine.
Incidentally, the Scarlett Johansson file floating around is really Katrin Hepburn from On Golden Pond. Don't waste you ploy-vinyl coated foam. Unless you're into that kind of thing. Pervert.
Any cubs of less than 2 years old are killed by the male to stop any future rivals challenging him for the pride, and also to encourage the lionesses to go into heat, allowing him to begin his own dynasty. The lionesses allow this to happen -- a cruel edge to their mothering nature.
Actually, most males cats do this as well. Tomcat's are bastards (in both senses).
Most people just like to bash on Tom's or Anandtech or both. That was actually informative (for people like me that build a computer once in a blue moon). As opposed to me guessing which chart on Tom's he was even referring to. This one maybe?
I like the Random Capitals as well. Here is my choice quote:
Programming Time In Magic Versus A Language Like Cobol. Our company president, Dr. Ronald Jones, has about 30,000 hours of experience in Cobol before moving to Magic, so we can give you good estimates of the time difference between Cobol and Magic.
A program that takes him 1000 hours to write in Cobol, takes him about 2-3 hours to write in Magic.
Are you kidding? For example,.NET is the embodiment of simplicity.
Say you have this.NET GUI you wanted to have interface with an existing C++ event manager that uses generic keys and void* for Callbacks and classes.. well, you wouldn't want to do that. That would be too complex. void*? That even sounds complex. Also, you need the garbage collection to work, so you can't store managed types in unmanaged classes. Eventually, after wasting hours on Slashdot, you would see that there is the CollectionChangedEventManager and that sort of sounds like it might fit the bill. But for some inexplicable reason, that class isn't available to you. Is it because C++? Is it because you REALLY don't have every version of.NET installed? Is 2008 too new? With all the helpful advice on the web concerning.NET, specifically with matters more complicated than how to put a freaking button on a dialog, the reason is obvious. So you have to go on to write another event manager, this time as a managed object. Then you remember you have this old CORBA server you need to connect to as well. Luckily, there is this DCOM wrapper that can ASP out the ADO. Then your head explodes to allow your torso to rewrite the whole thing from scratch in Python in about 5 mins.
I was wondering who else would remember that. The best line is when uncle Owen says: "But harvest time is when I need you the most." Harvest time? On a moisture farm? Not sure how that works... Is it during the "rainy" season when the humidity is.1 as opposed to 0.01.
Will Luke ever get those power converters?... the world may never know.

Yea, but when I come upon the machine next, I'll get 2. And I didn't even want gold, makes me put on too much weight.

Wow, an IT girl and you don't want kids! Would you be the mother of my children?
Well, I always spit the steak back out and put back in the wrapper before I return it. That's how I stay so svelt.
If you ever wanted to know where chopped steak comes from, now you know.

Hmm... this new Slashdot CSS addition is cheesy. But, it's a hell of a lot better and faster than the last one.
Does this Magic Language work? It says it can interface to "Pervasive SQL, Btrieve, Oracle, Microsoft SQL, DB2 (AS400), ODBC, etc".
Magic!

See, it was a lot easier that way.

This is troll? WTF? Is this a common cut and paste Rob story couched in metaphor of VXD and WDM drivers?
Gotta admit though, could be worse. (Could have been in Cleveland for instance)
Man, you ruined the ending :(
I guess you've never heard of or forgotten that lithium batteries are used to make meth?
Meth heads just are doing the green thing by going with the second choice.
I learned something today Kyle.
- What's that?
There is something in Columbus, GA besides pawn shops and Gold Lounge.
--- :). Oops, forgot to check anon.
Believe it not; I wasn't really dismissing Columbus with that. Those just happen to be some of my favorite places
Not a bad wiki article (and not one post-modern mention ... yet). Made me think of this ...
"Have you tried the Hot Pocket Hot Pocket? It's a Hot Pocket filled with a Hot Pocket. Tastes just like a Hot Pocket." - Jim Gaffigan
I am glad this commented showed up with "futura". Though, I expected the Stallone reference.
But, you're very, VERY busy.
If you had meant to post here, that would with have been sublime. or at least generally subcitric.
No, he's just missing his eyes.

Damnit, I already used my mod points.

Anyone interested in NSA should read "Body of Secrets".
Of particular note:
shamrock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_SHAMROCK)
and (though not NSA)
Operation Northwood (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwood)
I agree in general (especially where I live), but Mellow Mushroom (based out of Atlanta I think) is an exception to the rule.
That's why I use double-entry bookkeeping to stay alive. I only allow my life to be paid to UNALLOCATED. Still, death my hack my books. That bitch.
