I think this is happening already (at least for some of us). While yes, fucking Fred was the highest rated channel (still is maybe, I am not even going to bother checking honestly) there is some good stuff out there. However, I am not optimistic about the quality.
What a great find, thank you! Short of calling it internet, he got it perfectly right.

Not everyone can have one of those either (nothing two way... I would kill for wireless walk-talkies, but have to settle for wired com setups). Hey, we just get slashdot because the IT overloads read it too:).
I was JUST talking about this with differences between Vista/Win7... I forget the feature (group policy screen saver,power save or some such). But jeezz, sometimes configurations should be declared good enough and fuck quit mucking with it... Similar to DVORAK, but that is user adjustable nowadays so doesn't count. I am ALL for user controlled moving shit around. But, then they'll probably move that too **cough** "Folder and search options" **end cough**

Bullshit. Or pulling back a bit, the inspiration/propagator of that phrase... the 80s "War on Drugs"... was spewing bullshit (again).

>> books for Python but resources for intermediate/advanced programmers are harder
I somewhat agree, I feel its like that for many languages except domain specific (e.g. graphics, database) ones for C/C++, but would like to point out two other O'Reilly ones: Programming Python (Unfortunately, covers a bit too many unrelated, but advanced topics for me) Python Cookbook (Recommend this one, though like it implies, all over the place. You pretty much read it online)
However, when you get into more specific items like: SWIG/boost wrapping you're left with documentation and google.

I just was saying the same thing, sad it is as accurate as it is.

At least you aren't at Dome A. You might would have to you some tropospheric (to no pay outrageous SAT usage rates).
For a lot of things .. but obviously not all. But, the concept that you will catch that one transient that will help you is astronomical as well.
I thought the same thing. Everbody knows that's what turned him anyways. (Now, for WHEN that happened ... well, that a whole another debate).

You get 10 days off! You lucky bastard!
I prefer the approach of "If you call me on vacation, I'm asking for another vacation day."
I've still been called, but I got an extra vacation day for every one.
Too bad you can't spend them Mawahahahaaa! Sorry, got possessed by management for a sec, must be the tie
Luck: it could - and should - be said for every very successful person.
I got it ... but, I wasted many hours of my life to be able to instantly recognize it.

We really need to destroy this cloth people are always getting cut from. It's concentrated evil!

A think that can get you a toilet stall (non functioning) in San Francisco.
Another vote here.. All this news about LulzSec and Anonymous (before the Wikileaks) ... stinks to high heaven with false flag bullshit.
