I got plenty of self control. I just need a 5 minute break if someone thinks they can yell at me if I've done nothing wrong. Otherwise I dont think clearly. Much like how inspiration often comes away from the keyboard.
The violent thing was a bad attempt at a joke btw..
Problem is if someone is yelling at me, my nature is to become very passive (I'm 17st - fairly muscular ), until they go away. Depending on their seniority/personality I'd either suck it all up or try to calm them down. or tell them OK go away and I'll get on it.
Either way my adrenalin will be jacked and I'll need to get a coffee or talk a short 5 minute timeout before I can properly address the problem. Unless the solution involves breaking shit or hurting someone (self included) - then I'll be ready right away.
And didn't I read somewhere that you cant record/timeshift Freeview HD? As all of my TV watching is timeshifted , then that's no use to me at all. I was thinking of getting a Panasonic P42G20 with HD Freeview tuner, but it all sounds a lot less appealing than I first thought. Until you can timeshift Freeview HD I wont be buying any equipment.
Google just dropped in share price AND embroiled in international posturing with China AND is a tech company - I'd like to think they did their homework first!
You may have some valid observations but I think you are overstating the case. The date of the last A100 firmware (their first model AFAIK) is 17th December 2009 , A110 last firmware is 10th December 2009
"white-trash" - I really hate that phrase. To me the adjective implies that this is a notable kind of trash. Whereas "black trash" - well that goes without saying doesn't it? Not that this is a reflection upon the person that says it. (as it is uttered by all hues), just a sad reflection of our perceptions of society. Some of which might be justified, but much not.
Also I guess there are times when strong typing is considered expressive and when it is considered overly verbose. In a large application, weak typing sometimes is a PITA, in a short script it is lovely.
"our existence".. like no dumb stuff ever comes from anywhere else?
Every Government in the world wants to tax the arse off the Internet. They are just trying to figure out how.
Ive been with a few ISPs where, having a DHCP account, I was able to change my IP to another public IP on the same subnet.
I assumed it was not currently in use because I still had internet connectivity.
> AltaVista is still around but it's a subsidiary of Google.
I'm guessing you mean Overture or Yahoo, but that just reinforces the mindshare Google has!
A few times I've had to go to bed with a pen and pad close by because to much stuff was swimming about in my head, which I often forgot if I tried to commit to memory.
Then there are the times you get you and go for a walk and its like a damascus moment.
I think to really crank out code efficiently you need that preparation/scribble time where you have everything mapped out, then you hit the keyboard.
My least productive times are when I'm trying to solve a problem at the keyboard. Roll on that minority report UI, but in the mean time a pad and paper can be very effective.. Maybe learning to touch type will help remove the distraction of the keyboard, but computer languages have too many symbols that would still reduce the effectiveness of touchtyping I guess.
the meaning of all kinds depends on the context, and can still be ambiguous.
eg the truck sold all kinds of ice-cream , does not mean it has every variety on the planet. However as far a biblical quotes are concerned its not really worth discussing further until you go to the original greek/hebrew etc:)

> Thanks a bunch ex-labour government for pushing that little law through at the last minute without debate
I think it got cross-party approval. But of course no public debate. Probably plenty of golf lunches and champagne dinners with Elton John, Bono etc.

Please explain.
MOD PARENT , skinhead child, who knew ?
You might want to look at mortality rate, rather than just birthrate. There is a reason why poor people have lots of children !
eg consider following rates per 1000.
USA 14 births - 8 deaths. ( http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0004395.html )
Zimbabwe 27 births , 22 deaths ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Zimbabwe#Death_rate )
Africa - Population Density ( Pop. density 30.51/km2 )
N. America Population - ( Pop. density 22.9/km2 (59.3/sq mi) )
Just about most countries in the Free world. But you wouldn't know about that would you? Sigh.
Only if the head/body size ratio is larger than normal.
And Angela "puts out"
Angela from Bones could own Chloe. Angela is an arty type AND a master computer hacker. Is that were not enough she has ZZ Top genetics and big teeth.

That reminds me, I have no local backup of my email. Better break out an IMAP/POP client once in a while.

I've not seen any reports on CPU repeatedly "blowing". Can you elaborate?
And make the browser launch as a limited user. Install PSexec and change all browser shorcuts to
psexec -d -l c:\Path\To\Browser.exe
Should really make the user a limited user, but then they moan they can't use crappy software like Kodak Easyshare etc and more ACL fun ensues.....
No police needed at a rugby match either. - and alcohol freely available.

To Paraphrase Russell Peters,
"India is the second largest population in the world. Somebody's fucking..."
for(object o in list) {
Item item = (Item) o;
System.Out.Println(item);
}
What language is this? If its Java maybe
for(Item o : list) {
System.Out.Println(o);
}
Although java 1.4 would have been more painful..
