What kills me is all the people 'vouching' for his ass. Read through every other page or so... funny stuff. He should write himself a kid's book... quite entertaining.
I thought my question was clear... but let me elaborate...
We are familiar with UTF and have done extensive research on the subject. However, outside the realm of standards, there is not a clear path for bringing all of the various pieces (MySQL, PHP, Apache, etc.) together to form a cohesive, multi-language-compatible unit.
There are articles here and there about various aspects of internationalization. However, I get a sense, after reading these articles, that the authors are just experimenting. I don't want to say that they are implementing hacks... they're not.
I am wondering if the subject matter is too new to have definitive manuals/books/etc.
I continue to hear more and more IM-Speak everyday. I run a hookah bar and most of my customers are in the 18-24 range, so it's a little outside of the teenies.
In any case, I am amazed that no one finds it silly to use this kind of lingo in everyday talk and in writing. Sure, it's easier to type, so it makes nominal sense to use it in typed-mediums (see: informal).
I wish some dictionary companies would buy the ADs and put them to good use.
Past attempts to unfold similar devices in space have failed.
In 1999, Russia launched a similar experiment with a sun-reflecting device from its Mir space station, but the deployment mechanism jammed and the device burned up in the atmosphere.
In 2001, Russia again attempted a similar experiment, but the device failed to separate from the booster and burned in the atmosphere.
It's obvious that the Russians do not want this kind of technology in space...
I am going to start praying for Russian Cosmonauts in the future before any launches... they evidently don't have a prayer.
Key Macintosh features include a standard Mac OS X installer, a native Aqua menu bar, use of the native printing system, full clipboard support, drag-and-drop, Mac "command" key shortcuts, mouse scrolling, integration with major Mac email clients and native support for Mac fonts.
So, basically... sorry, I have to see if I am getting this right... it took them 5 years to get the functionality of a 'Hello World!' app? Ooops... with email integration.
If these are the key features, they should rethink their slot in the development world.
Seriously.
Nobody ever made it anywhere by reinventing 'Hello World!' apps or marketing the most basic (ie. functionality is built-in from the get-go) features as 'key features.'
I thought (before RTFA) this was going to be another slam-shut case for Apple...
But I do have to admit that the two referenced images look eerily similar... they both have a play button and I just won't stand for that kind of blatant idea-stealing.
It all makes sense...
He has a 0-day site and he was able to grab a copy of the newly-released OS X Intel version.
Pfft... he's just part of the Apple marketing machine now...

I have to agree... the driver certainly had too many things going on (intrinsically and extrinsically). It's a sad case... but I think the soldiers did what they had been trained to do. If they did anything wrong, then change the training.
Personally, I would have done the same thing (regardless of training).

I think I would actually feel a little bit bad if I saw a commercial like that . . . until I thought about the record company that gave the bill for the commercial to the artist in the commercial.
Pfft, RIAA, MPAA... all BS
After reading about the book this morning on/., I went to B&N and actually caught sight of the book (inadvertently). I picked it up and it was such an interesting read, I didn't put it down until I had read it all. As mentioned, it's interesting in the fact that they're all 'make believe' stories carrying an underlying lesson in each chapter. A lot of different scenarios are covered and it would be a pretty good read for anyone even remotely connected to network security. Now, I am not saying that it gives you the XYZ of keeping your network safe from prying eyes... it's far from that. In fact, the appendix is really the only thing that contains a 'true' lesson. The stories, however, illustrate the 'outside-the-box' thinking that some hackers possess. All in all, I give it about a 7 out of 10.
Yeah, EPO rocks... they recently changed their name and I can't think of the new name off the top of my head. Remember going in there one time and spotting a peltier cooler screwed to a telescope assembly that was going for $1.50. I bought 10 of those things for no good reason... seemed like a good idea at the time. Oh well.

This posting, along with the comments, has made my day. I haven't laughed like this since I was a little girl. Whew ... back to humdrum.

Has Steve Jobs taken up a position at Scholastic?
Thought he was the only man to go to such extremes.

According to USA Today, the retail price is around $2.25.

Definitely had me hooked until I saw the price tag.
Can pay someone to run back and forth to my computer for that much money.

Their site is currently running at 1-FU ...

It's the point where you're only able to get in as fast as the screams leaving their NOC.
Oh well

That's because the revisit-after 'meta' is as good as an urban legend. It simply doesn't matter anymore ... if it ever did.

I second the revision request.
Or, we could wait a few weeks and see it in all its glory without our meddling fingers.
Seriously, he hasn't got a prayer.

Yes, it crashed me as well. Not sure what that is about. Maybe the extensions that I have installed?

In other words, this is a book-sized fortune cookie.
