At some point you're jsut burning a dark spot of ash in the parking lot,your body runs out of caffeine and your fingers start twitching from the lack of programming.
Yeah... you see there's this thing about a free market and an invisible hand. Sometimes people learn about these things that affect their wages in a class called economics. You might want to read on on it. Apparently, the debt you owe failed in preparing you in this regard. which leads me to my new campaign slogan
A wad of cash and a name brand are no substitute for an inquisitive mind.
I think the standard would be something that was close to a typical typewriter layout. The layouts of typewriters were mostly standard with Qwery, tab, space bar, return, number keys, and shift keys in standard places. Any layout that didn't follow the model that people were used to, could be considered "nonstandard".
Yeah, I've been pushing as hard as I can about this issue to both of my senators,but when you get to be that powerful you become too busy to listen to the people your supposed to be listening to. They also have a NIH syndrome. They won't listen to a good idea that they didn't pay an advisor to devise, or weren't given a "campaign donation" (cough*paid off*cough) to promote it.
No doubt. Then there should be like a usb3.5 that has 25 pins, for connecting an external DSL / Cable Modem and cool 9 pin to 25 pin adapters lying around everywhere.
Hmm... Interesting. Economics works so incredibly well, until you start introducing variables like "ethics". I guess thats an exception the proves the rule? I must say that I would not buy product Q from company G, if they killed each employee after his eight hour shift, every day, regardless of how wonderful and how cheap the product was.
I 'd like to think that there is still some kernel of truth to my point, but his is what I do love about slashdot: anonymous strangers chiming in to explore any possible flaw in my logic. Helps keep me on my toes,and keeps ye olde ego in check.
Good Point. I wold say there is a difference making a purchase based upon uniformed decisions, versus having full information and making the decision out of a "fanatical commitment".
wow achewood... it leaves a bad taste in my mouth and a ring around my eyes, but sadly thats not a good thing. Its as if someone wrote a program to take anything funny that has every been said, or written and remove the humor from it, leaving only a soulless, time wasting, empty shell of a cicada.
There are some 10-15 million rabid Sony hating Xbox/Microsoft fans in the US. They will support any 'not Sony format' with a fanatical commitment
If true, that is by far one of the most alarming statistics I have ever read. If large cooperations marketing has succeeded to the point that there are 10 million people that will not buy a company's product regardless of its technical merits and price point, we've reached a truly low point in society.
Interesting. I wrote mine back in the windows 95 days, so I'm used to it. Long story, but I still do support some 98 boxes occasionally for an overseas charity.
Thats why I wrote my own copy program for windows. It copies and or moves each file individually, taking into account exactly what I intended it to do if the operation failed. Sure it *might* take a little longer, but I only use it in cases where I'm copying/moving hundreds of files and don't want to stand in from on the computer for the entire operation.
So did I. Now I just pissed its not a story about Pi. I just don't care about what ever it is that this is about. But I haven't composed a program for Pi in Erlang yet. Distributed computation of PI. Now, if anyone knows who build Erlang or has seen the movie named for the digits, you'll know what the two possible conclusions to this is. Either way, it will be news I'd want to read about it.
And this is why I did not buy my wireless router from at&t. The models you can buy form them are pretty common and a survey of my neighborhood reveals that a number of them are out there, and they have the default network id identifying them as att wireless routers. Roughly 1/10 of the routers I found.

That doesn't seem to be long enough range for a wireless device. Heck, I'd prefer a 5 cm usb 2.0 cable than that.

All electronics that fail me suffer the same fate.
... until its no longer fun to do either one.

Airport Security : Id Sir?
Me: Here you go
Airport Security : This is not a real ID, sir
Me: But I'm over 50.
Airport Security : No, you're not. You look like you are 15, not 50.
Me: But, my Id says I'm 50.
Airport Security : But its not a Real ID, could be a fake we only trust Real IDs.
Me: So I need to get a Real Id saying I'm 50 in order to prove to you that i don't need a Real Id?
Airport Security : Please Sir, step into this room and remove all clothing.
That brings up an interesting question:
Is it more likely that a reporter, or the US government can count to numbers above 10 while wearing close-toed shoes?
Other sites concerned for greater accuracy than slashdot, have noted that fact prominently.

Oh, I think the answer is quite clear what happened here.
Well, if TIME magazine likes it, then it *really* must suck.
Exactly. But I'm thinking more of a raid 10 fibre channel san. Maybe in a couple years when the price/performance hits the right mark.

It's (for me) about using whatever uses most standardised additions.
You *are* making a decision based upon its technical merits and price point.

Wish I could edit posts. As I replied to the other replier, I wrote the program in 1996 it took maybe an hour or two.
