Wrong. It was only like Urkel. The alien has a sweet, heavenly voice... like Urkel! And he appears every Friday night... like Urkel! Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a report to type up on my invisible typewriter.
Somehow, I got on these clowns' mailing list and they send their glossy rag to me regularly. Well, at least I'm getting some fancy toilet paper for my tax dollars.
Yeah, because most UNIX servers are hand-built, with Cold Cathode lighting, EL wiring, huge windows in the side, a 7800 GTX SLI setup, 7200 RPM SATA drives (set up in RAID 1 for blazing speed!), and Non-ECC RAM.
Unfortunately, since 1.5, Firefox is the only application I use that crashes consistantly. I say unfortunately because I want it to succeed, and I think it's been great at promoting an alternative to IE, but really, IE 6 is currently more stable (at least in my experience) than Firefox (Modern AMD64 architecture, 1.5 GB RAM, etc.).
You completely missed the point and managed to come off as an asshole by doing so. I completely agree with the GP (although I disagree with the use of the buzzphrase "Skill Set"). Managers are there to get things done and mere coders, no matter how brilliant they are don't get things done without a fire being lit under their asses. Don't like it? Become a manager and you'll understand where he's coming from. Otherwise enjoy your $15.00 an hour. ASS.
Lenny: "You sent your little girl downtown on a bus?"
Carl: "Alone?"
Homer: "Maybe... but you don't know Lisa, I mean, she's so smart, they hooked her up to a big computer to try to teach her some things, but she had so much knowledge it overloaded and then it got really hot and caught on fire!"
Carl: "That never, uh, happened, did it Homer?"
Yeah, because with our second amendment rights nothing like this ever happens in the US. Never heard of it. Not even once. And thank goodness if it ever did happen, the packing non-offender can shoot the police if they were unlawfully detained.
I defy you to find someone with whom you do meaningful businsess conducts said business in AOLish. IM is a prime example of what I am talking about. Perhaps the world is passing me and my kind by, but the point is still there. The devolution of language harms only those who devolve with it. But you should just go right back to pronouncing it "nukulur" and reap the respect that you sew.
And what happens when these "understood" pronunciations become so varied and rampant that different languages develop from them? It is not an evolution, it's a devolution. You know how it's pronounced, why would you pronounce it otherwise? Again, I will say it's not an accent. An accent is not the same as pronouncing a word. It is how vowel sounds are made, and occasionally constanants. "Nukulur" is changing the order of the spelling. On a side note, I brought up ebonics earlier, not as a dig at you specifically, but as an example in my daily life. I work with three people who were defending the "nukulur" pronunciation after the debates, but a few weeks later were railing about how ebonics was the worst thing that ever happened. These are admissions officers in a college, and it irritated me to no end as they were totally missing the hypocrisy.
I am sorry, but the whole point of pointing out this mispronunciation is to point out that the man can't even take the time out of his busy golfing/vacationing/napping/"reading"/photo-opping schedule to learn how things are actually proncounced. It's not a matter of pretentiousness, it's a matter of an idiot being in charge of the most powerful nation in the world and doing things in My (as well as many other's) name. 'NUCULUR" is a pretty damned important word to the POTUS. He had better learn how to say it correctly (especially when he is lying to the world about the capabilities of other countries).
I am not citing any linguists. The word is the word and the pronunciation is the pronunciation. Apparently, as per your first post, you have corrected your mispronunciation. Do you claim that "ain't" is a word simply because it is in a dictionary? Just because a word is recognized it doesn't mean that it is proper language. My point was actually that so many people line up to defend improper usage or pronunciation of a word because they do it that way. The same can be said for spelling. That doesn't make it right or true. Like so many have said before me, language is a contract, and a contract requires two parties. If one party does not agree, the contract does not exist.
That is not an accent. It is a mispronunciation. It does not matter how many phony linguists you have say it's acceptable. They are wrong and making excuses. The same people who say "nukulur" are the ones who villify ebonics. Hypocrites, every last one of them.
I don't know what sort of price range you are looking at, but as far as semi-professional scanners go, I use a Kodak i60 and it does a bang-up job in relatively high usage situations (ie 500-1000 sheets per day). It's pricey, though.
Dude, Dvorak has been around for a long time and this is not the first time that he has attacked the Mac platform, he's been doing it for decades (if he's even attacking it now, which is not the way I interpret it). Also, this article was not written by Dvorak, it was written by John Kheit, who is a Mac Observer columnist- thus he usually writes about the Mac platform. His column is known as "The Devil's Advocate" - thus he usually points out what he thinks are Apple's shortcomings and mistakes.
Not to be a jerk, but how are they going to put out a public beta when the hardware to run it won't exist for public consumption until the OS is released? That being said, I agree that it will be a short time until OSX runs on any old (or is that new?) PC.

That's the perfect place for me and my rag-tag band of misfit rebels to establish a secret base! I just hope that taun-taun life is sustainable there.

I could have sworn the correct spelling was "Analrapist"(R).

When was the last time you met a Windows admin who was able to completely administrate a Windows server from the command line?
I think it was the last time I met one who knew that the word was "administer," not the non-word listed above.
Yeah, because with our second amendment rights nothing like this ever happens in the US. Never heard of it. Not even once. And thank goodness if it ever did happen, the packing non-offender can shoot the police if they were unlawfully detained.

Have you ever heard all 9 fans of the G5 towers running at once? It's not just a little noise, but reminiscent of a 777 taking off.
Dude, sorry about that. Pardon me while I don my asshat and go on about my day.
