when i finally got out of there it took me nearly 6 months to get back to decent productivity. i still flinch when a supervisor glances over at me, and i consider myself a normal person.
It sounds like you worked really hard, then decided and said, "screw this, this is really bad for me and I'm going to do something nice". It's really inspiring.
Sure, it will be a bit different lifestyle, but slowing down a bit, getting out of all of the air polution, and actually being able to see some stars at night....well, sometimes, that ain't all bad.
Not bad at all when you have a wife and friends living there. If you're a bachelor, then the city is the place to go. In my opinion, dating is a bit of a numbers game and the city offers more opportunities to meet women.
Heck, I've got a wife and child too, and I'd sign up just to get away from them!
That's it Locke, I'm sick and tired of catching you posting on this stupid site all the time when there's plenty of stuff to do. Yesterday I put the garbage in the hallway and I've seen you walking past it at least a dozen times. Can I make the hint any more clear than that?! YOU'D BETTER HAUL YOUR FAT BUTT FROM BEHIND THE LAPTOP AND PUT THE GARBAGE OUTSIDE OR THERE'S HELL TO PAY!
I'd rather go out doing something that would really make a difference to how mankind sees itself, and which just might sow the seeds of a new world.
Your grandchildren rather you're there to give them your wisdom, of which you seem to have some in stock.
I'm convinced that what our Western society needs, is grandfathers who can mentor their grandsons. Because these days, daddy seems to be working all the time.
I was on a cruise ship last month, and I came upon the most brilliant braille placement ever. It was on the underside of the hand rail of the staircases.
so with this tiny form factor, is there any way to install this inside a unibody macbook pro? I'd love to go SSD but want to keep a spinning drive for decent storage capacity, and don't want to lose my dvd drive.
It's really nice they did this, and the license they chose (Apache 2.0) is very free/libre.
But honestly... is there going to be a big community around this? I don't think so. You can say a lot about the Windows ecosystem, but "lively open source developer community" isn't one of them. So the source code is probably going to be of use for debugging purposes, or research purposes, but other than that, I can't see lots of people chipping in on the F# libs or something like that.
Alternatively, just uninstall Flash. You really don't need it for most of the web these days. (On OSX, it lives in/Library/Internet Plug-ins; you'll want to remove Flash Player.plugin, flashplayer.xpt, and the Shockwave file, I don't remember the name.)
the questions are 'Will this automatic rewriting cause other problems, i.e. browser quirks?' and 'Assuming that only the web pages of Cotendo's customers are altered, are there nonetheless potential legal troubles with someone rewriting HTML before delivery to a browser?'
I couldn't give a rat's ass about legal troubles. Slashdot is still a tech forum, right?
There are LOADS of much more interesting questions to ponder, such as: what is exactly the speed improvement? And does it work for Javascript and CSS too? And wouldn't it be much better to work on images instead? Or is that too computationally intensive? What kind of algorithm do they use? In what language is it implemented? Et cetera. Legal troubles shmegal smougles.
Start writing the virtual machine for the processor's predecessor, which will probably have a more limited set of instructions. Granted, the VM system its value per incremental release will probably not be that big. But it's still possible to go from working system to working system.
ads don't make you buy stuff...your lack of self-control, willpower, and independent thought makes you buy stuff
It's not that simple. It has been scientifically proven that when seeing certain ads multiple times, even not consciously, can result in people having a positive opinion on a product. They forget the source of their opinion is actually an advertisement.
At first, I used ad blockers because of their distraction. Now, I use them mainly because I don't want marketeers pilfering in my mind.

The computer is a handy distraction for my wife, who would otherwise criticize my abilities as a driver despite not having a license herself.
This brings up haunted memories of my ex. What is it with women that they must criticize men on every corner of the street?
During that period, Mrs Palin sexually abused me
Ah yes. Contrary to popular belief, some females are especially prone to bouts of arousal during their period.
Remember - they wont be paying corporate rates for MS products.
Correction: they won't be paying corporates for MS products today. Tomorrow, it could be different.
I don't have enough experience to make a recommendation, but I did want to note that a discount won't be available forever.

try decrypting THAT

Hehheh, clever one, young man!

Either way, will still be banned at work
Well yes, but "If the user is browsing on a smartphone, it will bring up the message there, instead."
With such bitterness, you should be in therapy.

My braille is on the underside of my dick.
Until they discover that you can save a lot of time, money and frustration and maybe even get more interesting conversations by hiring a professional.
Until they discover that such a professional is a black hole, both emotionally and financially.

Thanks for publishing my password, assh0le. Now I have to change it AGAIN.

come on OWC, make it happen! :)

Go for a hybrid like the Seagate Momentus XT (review on CNet).
JavaScript viruses? That will never happen. (Yeah here is hoping someone is clever enough to make it just so).

I have several outlets besides computers - cooking, swimming, yoga, masturbation to hairy milf porn
At the same time, right?

Here are the official instructions from Adobe, which include a little uninstall utility: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6
the questions are 'Will this automatic rewriting cause other problems, i.e. browser quirks?' and 'Assuming that only the web pages of Cotendo's customers are altered, are there nonetheless potential legal troubles with someone rewriting HTML before delivery to a browser?'

You can copy and paste your post as a reply to many subjects. It reads like an astrology prediction.
What exactly is your opinion on the matter of Netflix using a lot of bandwidth?
How do you incrementally rewrite a VM system?
Start writing the virtual machine for the processor's predecessor, which will probably have a more limited set of instructions. Granted, the VM system its value per incremental release will probably not be that big. But it's still possible to go from working system to working system.
R2. I see what they did there. The next one better be called D2.
Since R2D2's name is mostly shortened to Artoo, I'd say that after R2 comes Threepio.
At the risk of coming off bitter, I'd say that in the current legal climate, the next name won't even remotely resemble anything Star Wars.
I use mine as an alarm clock.
Isn't that a bit drastic? And don't you run out of people who step on the mines for you every morning?
