My company does this too. I'm one of those in university employees you speak of.
It is great to experience both sides of the fence simultaneously. Every week I get a good helping of theory and a huge truckload of the real world application (or tossing the theory out the window,whichever the case may be).
I enjoy programming as long as I'm not doing something brain-dead factory work like building a new form/ui for one of our web apps.
The article is about the music industry in Australia. Therefore the Australian Recording Industry Association makes more sense in the great-grandparent post's joke.

Well I haven't used it in a year or two. But I had require authorization on from day one and still got request for authorization spam. Where some pr0n/webcam botperson requests authorization with a little ad in the request.
I don't have any clue what the solution to the spam email problem is but I believe it'd have to be a pretty major evolution.
I don't see how manned space exploration is that practical. I don't think we should abandon the effort but what does putting a man on Mars get us? Nothing that I can see other than another rock that we can travel to.
I too would like to see this happen in my lifetime but really how important is it? I might just be blind. Why sacrifice Hubble which has been a good source of information? I don't think we should dump things that are fairly reliable just so we can do something that might not gain us much.
I was about 17 when I was there. I probably don't remember everything as an adult would. I was probably enough of an ass as a teenager to put any rudeness of the parisians to shame. My time in Germany(2 days) and Italy(1.5 weeks) gave me a more warm and comfortable impression than Paris.
There are people from parts of NY State and the deep southern U.S. that I can very nearly not understand.
Anyway my experience may have been a tad different. I was there during the winter holidays. Maybe everyone was so wasted they didn't have the energy to be rude.
I do remember one rude woman. I was on a tour at Versailles and an American girl tried to go to the bathroom without paying. The woman taking money outside about ripped her arm off. It sounded like she said some/very/ mean things in French.
I was in France for a couple weeks in 1997. I never saw Americans treated poorly except when they were being rude and dis-respectful,they deserved the treatment they got. Seriously, if any of these people acted the way they did there at home in the U.S. they would get their asses kicked.
I think this stems from fact that many Americans go to Europe and can't understand why all of the natives don't speak English. How hard is it to not get huffy when you're having trouble getting your point across because of a language barrier? Just try and learn a little of the local language.
...apply for a patent on toilet seats. I'm sure it has a good chance at slipping through the cracks. Then I can sue all the end users and manufacturers. Maybe even the technicians(plumbers, construction contracters).
Because when nVidia wants to know something about ATI drivers it's only slightly less trivial to get the information when the driver source is closed than open.
It looks like every other concept car to me.
They should have called it Yet Another Concept Car.
YACC. Oh already taken...sorry, you can't make cars anymore!

and then we'll outsource the outsourced work to offworld locations. Then the outsourced work that's been outsourced will be outsourced back to India!
Mods:Yes I know _Very_ redundant.

*=I'm not sure if that was that the documents are actually stored as plain XML or if it was that they can be manipulated through XML.

Sorry, I don't read every post on slashdot. I never read any post about patented toilet seats. I'm sorry . I really am.

VB.Hutt is a drag.
You have to respect the 'King?
Is there an option on ballots for people who want to vote but can't bring themselves to vote for any of the candidates?
My company has one of these lists as well. I'd bet most companies do.
Just because someone claims something is a bug doesn't mean that it _is_ and must be fixed.
A lot of our bug reports are just user preference/pickiness.
I thought Paramount made movies...?
So I can go visit Grandma on the moon!?
Really? Kinda like hurricanes and tropical storms then eh? That's kind of a funky analogy.
What a stupid name for a virus. The writer must be planning to get caught.
At least there isn't a hell of a lot of syntax to learn with assemblers.
I try and push Linux all the time. People just call me a loon. My stuffed tux says that it's the tin foil hat. I don't believe him.
