On the plus side, you could spearhead eXtreme welding. Unless those fit, sweaty men get distracting too. Or you have a disagreement about a weld that ends badly.
That's really all there is to it. Postgre is built to be secure, which makes it hard to get started if you're new. MySQL's ease of install, setup, administration and use have made it a self-fufilling prophecy . I'd like to start using (the existing user base creates a lot of support online for newbies) Postgre more often when we build apps at work (though our PHP stuff is always on MySQL, we abstract the data layer (or at least those of us who care do) to the point where the switch would be trivial), but our clients who want PHP/ Linux only provide us with a MySQL option. We could certainly fight for PG, but if we succeed, what did we do besides lower our margins by taking the time to argue, port and setup on PG?
That's a rhetorical question, so let's take the zealot response as read.
Never mind that, does this affect the grades I got in statistics and econ classes? Their questions were based on a flawed premise. I demand As for everyone.
Given how they treated Driver in GTA3 (remember the undercover cop who never left his car you had to kill?), I doubt that would happen. R* made a lot of little improvements to the driving engine for Midnight Club 2. If they use that stuff, I'd be happy. Who wants to worry about what gear you're in while you're capping hookers?
The nitro boosts from MC2 could come in handy on the longer streches of pavement.
Yeah, but there's no assurance that will ever happen. The likelihood of a good product becoming popular is less than 100%, so that kind of reward is hazy at best.
Once money is taken out of the equation, (I think) ego becomes the primary driving factor. "I" want to enjoy building this, it should work the way "I" want it to, since I'm building it for "me". Those aren't bad thoughts (the idea that people get involved with projects without any self-interest seems naive to me), but they're the things that cause people to fork off to what "I" want to do instead of trying to reach a consensus for the greater good. We're not the borg and there's no software collective we'll ever work on. So there's a need for some sort of reward besides ego or dollars or postcards.
That's the problem. I can't stand the UI requirements we have to meet at work, but I try to accept them anyway, because I know I'm not the end user and my understanding of how a tool I'm building is "supposed to work" has nothing to do with how it will be used. It's like QA'ing an app you've built. You can't do it, at least not well, because it's so natural to stay inside the accept ranges of what you've built.
I don't know the answer. The only reason I give into UI requirements at work is because I have to to get paid. That incentive isn't there for open source projects, so there is the danger projects will fork off. I know some comments above don't see that as a danger at all, but it is a waste of resources if two teams are building the exact same things instead of moving forward on other pieces.
Best guess is that it's one of those built-in taboos that keeps you propogating successfully. Just like human culture tends to ban incest which turns out to cause all sorts of genetic ugliness down the road (c.f., purebred dogs and English royals), eating the flesh of other humans can cause some nasty diseases. I can't remember the name, but Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel mentioned a fatal disease common among cannibals in New Guinea (Kuru?) that was a result of eating human brain tissue.
Yeah, but you sure as shit can't do it with DVDs. Lost in Translation came with a nice warning followed by 10 minutes of trailers I couldn't skip. It's not like I own the DVD player and TV or anything.
Uh-huh. And it's a trade they made by signing up for the job. You'll note they also get paid for giving up the right to operate large mechanical vehicles whilst high on opiates.
That's a nice thought, but remember how much we love the fact "The Internet can't be regulated" and that no government controls it? Spammers in different jurisdictions make that difficult. The best way to stop it at the source is to make the incentive as small as possible by either driving up the cost (in money/ time/ effort/ smarts) to successfully spam or reducing the payoff.
So if you want to stop it at the source, knock off your Aunt Bertha who keeps buying shit from spammers and telemarketers.
The first time you (or a loved one) get hit by a drunk driver, you'll realize that this limits the freedoms of a drunk driver, but increases the freedom of innocent people like you and I.
Wow. The first time you slow down and re-read that, you'll realize your logic could justify taking away any and all rights.
I have a hard time finding them in the US for anything close to that in small (= 100) quantities. Between $1.00 and $1.50 is as low as I've found. Not expensive, but not so cheap they're throwaway. By comparison, my girlfriend just picked up 50 CDs for $1.00 (after $10 rebate).
There has to be more than just Superman. He's boring (except for that Red Son trade paperback-- that was solid).
Is Captain America's undentable, energy-absorbing shield possible (I think it's made of vibranium, unless that's the one the Black Panther gives him when he's just The Captain and is only kinda unbreakable)?
How far can Reed Richards, Plastic Man, et al strech before they would run out of material?
What's the average tumor size of a Marvel Hero from the '60s?
Isn't it more likely Max Cassidy (aka Electro) would have been killed than turned into a master of electricity (speaking of which, do you think the actor who played a similar role in Misfits of Science still calls Courtney Cox looking for jobs)?
As for stand-up comedians on the topic, I think Dave Chapelle's line about Wonder Woman's trusth lasso ("Damn you got some big titties!") is the best recent stuff.
Sorry if I totally missed the point (or a previous mention), but isn't FreeBSD the foundation of OSX? If MS is looking to move application development to.NET and still put out Apple versions of products, seems like FreeBSD is the one OS they do need to support.
Yeah. They were only about 4 years late in airing the gag: I know it's a dividing line between fans (or, in my mind, between fans and "fans"), but the Frank Grimes episode is a decent demarcation between great show and swful show.

They're especially good for handling release dates.
Either way, would "previous" and "next" link really have destroyed the look and feel of those slides?

It's just like John Ashcroft told me, "If you don't drink Bud, you've got nothing to worry about."

The wife likes gymnastics You sure you haven't been spending too much time on the computer?
My exact thought while watching it (NetFlix rental) was, "I need to download a copy of this and share it with as many people as possible."
Yeah, but you sure as shit can't do it with DVDs. Lost in Translation came with a nice warning followed by 10 minutes of trailers I couldn't skip. It's not like I own the DVD player and TV or anything.
Stay tuned, 'cause it gets worse: the new word at work is "impactful".

Weird. That's not how this went down in the parallel universe I tested it out in.
