Only a much more powerful intelligence could look down and see that these beings that think they have free will are actually operating on "simple" rules.
So wait... are you saying that the Fraggles knew why the Doozers ate the stuff they built and when they were gonna have sex?
Does anyone know how they did this? I mean, is the future of broadband-at-home going to be one fiber-optic (or faster?) cable or are we all going to have x ethernet cables hooked up to our computer?
Emacs could actually win this one too (although still facetiously, but that fits in with the theme of your post, I gather:P). I only know this because i was browsing through O'Reilly's Learning GNU Emacs when I saw a picture of an ASCII-art "house", and looked on the previous page to find the section heading "Emacs Graphics Mode". Now I love emacs as much as the next man, but I think I speak for most of us when I say, "*shudder*"
in it, TrueActive is given positive press for removing a 'feature called "silent deploy", which allows the buyer to place the program on someone else's computer secretly via e-mail, without having physical access to the machine'
Does this sound to anyone else like those annoying people who think they should be rewarded for feeding, clothing and spending time with their children (something they were supposed to do anyway)? Perhaps we can work out some sort of compromise: if you want to make spyware, you have to hire exclusively from the pool of "I took my kid to school! Gimme cookie!" folks.
that method works excellently if all you want to do is check to see that the page was requested using POST (of course, then again it could be made much simpler by just using if( $_POST ), couldn't it?;)
However, sometimes you want multiple submit buttons for one form on one page (ie, a list of items with "add to cart" buttons next to them, and the submit button name contains the item number of the item selected). Here the annoyance of IE's ignoring the submit variable is significantly amplified.
true. you need to use input type="image" for it to work (or not work, i should say), but given a submit button of type image, browsers should return three things: the x- and y-coordinates of where the user clicked (or 0 and 0 if the button was invoked via keyboard), and the name and value of the button. IE (at least on 6.0) completely ignores the last of these parameters, passing only the x and y coordinates, while Mozilla correctly passes them all. You can also read about this on the PHP bugs online database, where at least once a week it seems someone submits this as a bug and a moderator has to inform them that it's microsoft's problem.
my personal favorite is when you send a form request via a submit button that uses a specified image (instead of the ubiquitous grey button), IE for some reason will totally ignore the "submit" POST request. I have long since stopped trying to understand why, and thus chalk it up to a master plan that will not be fulfilled until my pants are running Windows CE.
(PS - you can still get your page to work with IE if that situatioin applies to you, you just have to get the submit button title from the x and y click coordinates titles [which IE is so thoughtful not to ignore])
What would be your choice for middle school classrooms with minimal sys admin?
Gentoo. No X - command-line only. They get enough eye candy when they watch their Super Pokemon Power Rangers. Let's see, theyre in sixth grade, so we can expect them to know a little bit of yacc...
I wish I could have my money back from John Carpenter's "Vampires" - aside from 1 hot nude chick, that movie was a total waste of time and money.
I hear ya, man. I sent Edward Norton a bill for the two hours of my life he stole with that crime against humanity, "Keeping the Faith." Christ, I've seen better film on teeth.

And the potential social repercussions of "Amigay" are frightening...

You sir have just ruined my childhood memories.
Well of course we get more money! We don't have huge pots of gold to fall back on like short people do! Quit whinin'!
Oh YEAH! In your FACE, Mrs. "Please God help my kid beat cancer"! Woo!
*does endzone dance*
Who's the man?
Who's the man?
Not God!
YEE-HAW!
Well, that explains those "// dude, my hand is so HUGE! I'm FREAKING OUT!!" comments I've been seeing.
I'm sorry - call me steadfast if you must, but I refuse to settle for a Clippy that is dead but still alive at the same time.
Somewhere right now Stallman is reading this and smacking his head saying "I knew I never should've hired programmers named 'Icepick' and 'Knuckles'!"
Oh boy! I can't get enough of Bjarne and J-Lo!
This guy's been there too.

I predict the market will be dead in weeks.

Wow. You must either develop software for Scores or have a fetish for fat smelly men who get integer-wraparound jokes.
If money is no object, get a Hummer - that way you can travel anywhere as the crow flies.
"Oh man - not another one of these Jesus freaks again."
"No, no, no. We've come to spread the gospel of Middleware!"
"Is Middleware food?"
"No."
"We need food."
"Middleware!".
"Food!"
"Who needs food when you've got EXTREME PROGRAMMING!??"

That's OK - the six guys to whom that would actually apply are still waiting for their copies of 10.2 to boot up.
It's a Zen koan, man...kind of like how you would scream "I am drinking in MODERAAAAATIONNNN!" at a frat party.
Of course you might just get your ass kicked for that.
I hear ya, man. I sent Edward Norton a bill for the two hours of my life he stole with that crime against humanity, "Keeping the Faith." Christ, I've seen better film on teeth.
This works beautifully for Offspring and Everclear albums, by the way.
How about ESR and RMS in some S&M?
