The only move I have ever been able to perform successfully in any game is "mash all the buttons at once".
There you go - just find a "Nintendo Track and Field" tournament! Problem solved! Crisitunity! God DAMN that's some great black coffee in the break room today.
Boy, it's a good thing he made this page then. Oh crap - I just had an evil and vivid premonition of a surge of "Eric Raymond died this week at Stephen King's home in Bangor, Maine" and "Netcraft's coroners confirm *ESR is dead" trolls. Sour.
In a related story, the BCS rankings for prime numbers were also released, with "2" garnering the top spot. Consequently, a lot of journalists got pissed off.
Writing your own operating system is quite possibly the hardest thing that a programmer can do. On the computer, it's unmanageable because of complexity...
You'd better tell this guy. My advice? Let him down gently.
Excellent point. If I may add my own little endorsement, I could never make heads or tails of Finnegan's Wake until I saw a version of it where every sentence kinda sorta zooms in from the right.
For the love of God, stick with SQL - it's a simple case of one being slightly more difficult than the other ("I have to type stuff in rather than letting an anthropomorphic cyber-dog walk me through creating an address book"), but much more powerful. I say "slightly" more difficult because I know people can get into some pretty squirrely territory with SQL but you dont need to in order to learn basic database concepts. A very exaggerated example along these lines would be the difference between TeX and something like MS Word: in this case, of course, Word is orders of magnitude easier to use than TeX for basic things, but which would you choose if you wanted to really get to know how documents are laid out?
True. However, I do believe this line of reasoning would find its culmination with businessmen throwing their feces at each other during board meetings.
My favorite is when guy catches his girl cheating on him with another guy...and then goes after (or at least gets mad at) the guy, with whom he had no "emotional contract", shall we say.
I don't know if scientists have a name for this most delicious of male irrationalities, but I like to call it the Jerry Springer Phenomenon.
I did the same thing on the application for enrollment to MIT. Right next to "name", they had a space marked "What do you like to be called?". So feeling mischievous and lamenting the fact that I dont have much of a nicknameable name, I put "Your Highness." Needless to say I didnt think I was going to be accepted in the first place, but I was a tad surprised when I received a bill from them in the mail; I called them up to ask about it and told them that I dont know why I had gotten the bill, since I had already paid the application fee, and they said "We know."
Can't you shame someone enough by just searching google groups for their usenet posts from when they were 16?
"Mr. Schwartz, your blood alcohol level is.05 over the legal limit - I'm afraid we'll be publishing your posts to alt.games.counterstrike in the newspaper."
the best haiku (slightly) related to artificial intelligence:
Is the Twinkie smart?
Is it just ignoring us?
Maybe never know.
From a twinkie-related website the URL of which I have unfortunately forgotten. And come to think of it, given the ingredients present in Twinkies, I think 'artificial intelligence' is rather appropriate.

I would certainly download a .wma player to hear him sing the "Proprietary Software Song", that's for sure...
Would he crap his pants?

"Time to scoop up dust, analyze it and try to forget the fact that we pee through a tube."
"Oh."

For the love of God, can this version finally compile me a sandwich? I've been asking since 2.0, Intel!!

or you could just connect to THE INTERNET.

Holy crap! It's Ferguson from Clarissa Explains it All!
Oh, and the fact that EA Sports Rugby 2003 is actually an order of magnitude worse of a game than their 2001 edition deserves mention I think.
If so, please email me, as I would certainly prefer being superhuman and taking over the world.
people will be thankful to have a anthropomorphic paperclip tell them what to do.
somewhere the dadaists read this, look up from their steamed broccoli cereal and say "oil filter."

"No, not those! I was just a n00b!"
Dude. Take some kava.
get an email account?
Actually, I've never used it myself; just trying to show you that there are no absolutes, my friend...
10-4, good buddy.
