"You can get excited about it, but it is too early to tell how well it will be adopted."
Actually, Mr. Wilcox, you can get excited about it. Me, I'm going to be grouting my nostril-hairs with a dremel. Sounds less painful than using products that originated with PaintBox.
Seriously, though... stick with what you're good a... er, I mean, what you've spent all that time perfec... um...
Okay, keep handing out the same old buggy stuff. Just stay out of us creative guys way, how 'bout it?
On Awful Plastic Surgery from now on? Between Michael and Liza, Lindsay and all them other teeny-boppers (not to mention Brittany... hell, she'll go thru a face a week!) we may never again know who to blame for the awful performance we just put up with.
Maybe they'll just trade faces back and forth, like some cheesy Hollywood masque. That's really screw up the critics!
I'm just a poor programmer, so I'll stick to the BFG. Like that ad online where the fucker uses his keyboard to trash his monitor, then vacates his cubicle. If you ask me, the idiot in the next rat-maze box would think twice next time about tipping one of those disparaging looks over the pseudo-walls if he knew I was carrying a BFG for anyone/thing that pissed me off.
Come to think of it, I'm going shopping. Co-workers, be warned. I'm packing.

What the hell is this woman thinking? Is there a limit on the idiodicy of American thinking? Is there a limit on the crassness of American stupidity
Please put this woman out of her misery. Otherwise, countless others are going to lose their lives.
I only care who suffers. I'm not in the delta basin... I'm in southern Ontario. I don't care who gets e. coli or not... I'm in southern Ontario. I don't care who sniffs raw sewage or tends to get the bends from having to get back up from 12 feet of water overlaying their house.
I'm from southern Ontario.
I do care about some things, though.
I care about people. This is something I've not read about much on here. Like it or not, Slashdot readers/posters seem to be a bit of a-lacking when it comes to communal feelings. Assholes, I'd call it.
I'd like to take the time to thank the poeple that are saving the animals. I'm not a Noah, but I respect the task that they're doing, and recognize the risk that's involved. Kudos to them, and most gracious thanks to their work.
I'd also like to send out thanks to everyone else who isn't in the disaster zone, who is helping out with arms-outstretched, to help those in need of some caring, some basic human comfort. If you're a person, we need you to survive, and I've been there, arms wide open. It's a generous thing, to have gone through such a struggle, and emerge intact. We need your stories, not for the root cause of survival, but for the sustaining that your stories give us. Tell us about it, and make our meagre lives better.

Screw that. I've had my own content stolen and misused in the past. If I was looking for a web developer, this is the kinda guy I'd want: one that can take a sneaking, thieving idiot like that and turn the tables. Kinda reminds me of baiting Nigerian email scammers... (sniffs back a tear)

I already use PopMouse (sorry, product is now retired... no link) which, Opera-like, adds mouse navigation to the Windows environment. I'll tell you, it's THE most beneficial add-on I've ever used!
However, PopMouse uses easy-to-remember and -use mouse movements, some of which have been usurped by this "batch".
Besides... Fold-and-drop? How about drag icon to task bar, hover over proper window, and drop it when the window opens?
Okay, it's a troll, but it's a response to something I heard on our local TV call-in session on the news channel this past Wednesday. Not having perfect memory, I'll synopsize it:
Caller: I've got viruses, it said.
Expert: What said? The virus software?
Caller: Yeah, the virus software. I'm looking at it right now. There's a window on the screen that says I have viruses on my computer, and I need to get them off.
Expert: Okay, that's pretty much bad. What software do you use?
Caller: Whatever they put on here. I got it a couple of months ago, so it's up do date, right?
Expert: Well, not really... you need to update your virus database regularly... maybe even every couple of days, you know? It's usually not a day goes by without something new coming out threat-wise.
Caller: So I should update now?
Expert: Yep. Now. Immediately.
Caller: So I just click in this window that popped up and I'll be updated right?
Expert:....
Expert: How do you mean, "popped up"?
Caller: Well, I was surfing the web, and this window came up and said I had viruses... I just clicked it. That's right, right?
Expert:....
Expert: Do you have any antivirus software on your machine?
Caller: No... the people at the store said that would be extra.

Rogers Cable (Canada, Toronto area) has not has an outage in over 1 year now, in my contact area. I'm only pissed at their partnering with Yahoo to off-load the services they didn't want to deal with; ie. web-hosting, email etc. Try pimping yourself as a web-site designer/graphic designer when your web-space just switched to fucking Geo-cities, sandwiched between "I Love Astrology.com" and the newest Lindasy Lohan fan sight!
But considering the land mass vs. population, it's not a wonder it's so... perhaps it's my bias due to whom I hang with, but most of my friends have at least a DSL connection, if not cable. I can think of a few (in my view) weirdos I know that are not on at least some type of high-speed (my mom comes to mind, but hell, she's 63...) but most of those I know are on a speedy link to the 'net. Dunno... perhaps on a per capita basis, Canada would score better...

Malice indistingushable from incompetence is equal to the sum of it's parts. Let's just toast the fuckers, and have at them with blunt objects.
Besides, black paint is just TOO creative for most uber-geeks. Get a move on, peeps... or get the lead out.
Over here in the UK.... We call these things "politicians".
Up here in Canada, we call these things "voters".
Works out better that way.

I can figure someone doing it for the rush... perhaps for the kudos of the haxxor l337... but money? Money only?

Nevermind.
