The sad part about this is that it isn't a troll!! Republicans really believe in what they say. "Can you believe that damn government wants 50% of my paycheck? How am I going to buy that new Yacht now!?"
1/7 people doesn't have health care; 1/5 doesn't have auto insurance. Look at the big picture.
I can understand this point of view if you are part of that 1% who benefit from regressive taxation, but otherwise, I'd seriously go meet some inner-city working-poor people and tell them rich people deserve tax breaks. See what they say. I can see why you posted as AC.
I really like this front-end to MySQL and use it all the time. It is freely available on the mysql site, and I actually prefer it over MS-Access's front end.
If you do not have time to patch all of your systems, disable the ports that these services run on by default and forward them for trusted hosts (which could get infected and spread to you...). You are better off disabling services than trying to patch every end user.
Yeah, if it weren't for the end users, it would really easy to patch computers every time an exploit was announced. Although....then there wouldn't be any computers...now I'm confused!!!
In other news: disabling incoming connections via NAT or Proxies is sure-fire way to stop exploits.
Maybe it is better that we would rather have a beer or new rims on our cars. Maybe we should be out talking to people in the real world instead of watching Video on Demand or using VoIP. Broadband and all of its benefits can be a serious addiction, and God knows our country doesn't need any other forces to make us fatter!!!
I love broadband. I play games....send files...etc. 3/4 of the time, I could get by with a 56k because I'm just writing email, looking for jobs, or reading Slashdot. I've read a lot of the above posts, and I don't think that the broadband adoption rate for US residents will go any higher than the percentage of people who live in big cities. Broadband just isn't available/profitable in rural areas, and it is too expensive for the inner city folk, at least here in Minneapolis/St. Paul.
GUI development isn't that bad in Visual Studio. In fact, it is easy as hell. With emulators like Wine available, it makes sense to develop the software with Visual Studio and its amazing debugging tools for WINDOWS and then use Wine to run it on Linux.
One could use the GTK and GNU-C to develop multi-platform software in the first place, but then you are dealing with the parent poster's problem of debugging on multi-platforms, not to mention that GTK sucks under Windows (Anyone else use GAIM?)
Apache runs 2/3 of the HTTP servers on the internet. Check out their site or look at netcraft to see the facts. Microsoft is the minority when it comes to web servers; therefore, open standards can still exist.
As far as the other browsers being such a small part of the market, their share will only grow as more people use Linux and OS X. Microsoft can make IE as proprietary as they want, but it won't matter at all if Apache is delivering the content.
Yes, they are reverse engineering the formats, but they are never 100% accurate. I use special formatting on my resume (doc format) that never displays correctly on StarOffice and OpenOffice. If the format were published, it would be perfected of course, but why would Microsoft want it to work on other software suites?
That's all good for us as end-users and customers, but an open documents format would be suicide for company like Microsoft.
I'm glad that Opera, Mozilla...etc,etc,etc and Apache server kept Microsoft from controlling the HTML standards completely!!
If you don't want to spend any money at all, you should consider getting SpamBayes. I've tried both SpamBayes and iHateSpam, and I personally like SpamBayes better. It is also FREE. Both have nice Outlook plugins.
Yeah. We'll have to see if this Korean conflict takes off or not. Although, it is doubtful the war will ever come home to us....*posting on September 11th*
It would be nice if spyware went away somehow, whether it was through "trusted computing", the RIAA's file sharing suits, or some other evil.
The people who know about spyware are using Kazaa Lite anyway (I won't post a link as to not violate the DMCA). Perhaps there will be a day when we don't have to fear unsigned applets and ActiveX....ha ha ha....
The parent post is the correct answer to all of this mess, but unfortunately, it is just plain infeasible. Perhaps it will be feasible when more people get sued for sharing music.
I saw that emulation of linux is in progress. Instead of porting windows programs, couldn't they just emulate Windows? I know it would be slower, but there has to be a FASTER solution. I mean, why use another OS if the life-cycle of its ported products is 6 months behind the life-cycle of the real products?
The Concorde was also removed from service because of its limited availability, due to ticket costs, its aging fleet, and its travelling through the Ozone layer. The first two would have to be fixed before SSTs became mainstream aircraft.

I'm working retail because I can't find an entry-level job in IT. Retail is fun, but it's not what I wanted to be doing at 22 years old :P

At least I still have trouble reading l33t. If I ever get to that point....well...let's not think about that!!

What's the easy way to add custom tags to posts without indenting and without using  ...etc?
Dyslexics UNTIE!!!
Should I be concerned that I could read this easily?

Unless php can handle tail-recursion
Yeah, especially since AOL has been blocking tons of other people's mail servers. That was a Slashdot story a few weeks ago...

Then she can go fuel the RIAA at Suncoast Video for $20 a CD. She should put the money toward something useful, like her savings account for college.

...and we can all dance around in one giant circle and sing Kum-ba-ya while BillG and Linus play leap-frog.
Survey says: Not this century!
I wonder if PHP supports tail-recursion natively...
Perhaps it does when it is cached in its compiled state (like in Zend)
Throw all your CDs into Boston Harbor...yeah!!

You know, the PHP code in my sig is easy to understand, but it doesn't have the same effect unless you actually run it.
So..which happens first: the stack overflow or the script timeout?
