As it stands, design the box and outsource production makes sense because he's not selling boxes?
Under what circumstances does it make sense for him to specify the recipe for his chocolates and outsource production?
The second question is what IT companies that outsource programmers/support companies that outsource call centers should be asking. Businesses for whom IT is a support rather than a core function can outsource and have it make sense. Not so if it's core.
*blink* I was thinking "respect" as in "we don't have to keep trying to legislate internet porn out of existence, it's easy to filter away from my kids now".
For a good analogy--how many stores would carry playboy/penthouse if they didn't cover it with those little black plastic baggies so only people who were legally allowed to buy porn could have it.
I'd think the pron sites that are making money (the ones with memberships) would jump at the chance to have a domain to themselves that could be easily filtered--far lower potential for "My little johnny saw filth on your site! Sue!"-type lawsuits.
Actually, it makes sense for that to happen. You write "tastes" without thinking about it, but if you don't use "gibberish" every day you'd pause to think about how you spell it, and thus get it right.
As proof, when I previewed this I had misspelled "pausue" and "thues", and not even noticed until I double-checked. (And then I typed boudle just now. =P)
Why is it a cry for help to take a useful and versatile piece of communications+recording gear with you on a climb? Maybe if you're on a single-climb day trip, sure, but some of us go on week-long "expeditions" up longer and more challenging climbs, and it's nice to have the laptop right there to get pics off the digital camera, phone home in case of emergency, or just check in with home. (if you've got the battery power to waste)
So, to sum up at your language skill level: Laptop helps talk to other people. Talk good when on long trip.
Read the pages again, kid. Both are offered under GPL -OR- commerical licenses, depending on use--as in, both are licensed the same way.
I'd imagine the code quality of 4.1 is lower than 4.0.17 by this metric, as it's pretty clearly stated that 4.1 is a development branch and 4.0 is a production branch elsewhere on the website.
Except that beyond a certain fairly minimal point, it becomes nigh-impossible to make lines much longer without intruducing complex syntax and a host of new problems, including code legibility and bugs.
In other words, I sincerely doubt that there is much absolute difference in line lengths in ANY program outside of a few edge cases--I'd guess that something like 90% of all lines of code have between 0-80 characters.
Had you seen Ali, you might be convinced Will Smith is capable of more than silly action flicks. Give the guy some credit for TRYING to break out of his stereotype, at least. =P
You have similar cheeziness factors, recurring themes (boy meets/loses girl and singing and dancing in one, "you killed my father..." and fighting in the other), and so on.
This is why I only game with people over 21 (with two exceptions.) Local LAN party circles are great, but only if everyone involved has a real job and games for fun. =-P It's the damnable teenagers and college freshman punks that really ruin the image of gamers (and many other things, really. =P)
There are two kinds of people. One sees something he doesn't like and tries to fix it. He works hard and patiently, and keeps his moral high ground even when the object of his attentions is falling by the wayside.
The other kind sees something he doesn't like and says "Waaa, this sucks. Let's destroy it!". And tries. But he can't, usually, because he's just a stupid troll who's easily ignored.
Posting logged-in in a "banned thread". Oooh, scary. I'm'a get the bitchslap....wait, no I'm not. If the editors cared about your antics as much as you think they do, they'd ban every IP associated with this crap. Since they don't, I can only assume they're as bemused about stupid trolls as most of the rest of us are.
Posting as my real account, from my real IP, into a BANNED THREAD!!1!! Oooh, so scary. The big bad editors are gonna take my mod points away because I posted in this thread.
Get a grip. The editors don't care about you, or any of your troll brethern. They care about three things--high readership, keeping the site funded and alive, and readability of discussions.
Considering anyone using anti-slash's database-o-crap or crapflooding this junk is ruining point #3 (and by extension the other two), y'all deserve what you get.
The above are reasons I give hesitant recommendations of WC3 to families who are actively monitoring their child's playing habits, like my fiancee's parents, who have a 12-yr-old son...he'd like it, but I talked with them about it and they thought they'd want to wait a few more years before he had a framework to deal with it, even though he has played T-rated games before.
Of course, some parents might not care...and previous posters have already said all that needs to be about taking responsibilty for what your kids play.
I dunno, I thought Warcraft III in general (haven't yet played Frozen Throne) might be representative of a game that's frowned upon simply because of the morals--while the gameplay is certainly T-for-Teen, the themes (including Arthas killing his father and the fact you HAVE to play as a consciously evil faction to win the single-player campaign, along with subtler ideas about how good and evil are sometimes relative (witness the N.Elf demon hunters, etc)) might be the real reason that so many "family" groups are opposed to it.
Don't yell at me for spoilers--if you really cared about WCIII's plot, you'd have played it by now. =P

You almost got it, too.

They get a wider audience and more respect.

I know it's there in 2k and XP, and I know it is defintely NOT there in 95 and 98. ME wouldn't even boot on my machine, so.... =)
I hate to be a downer, but Blaster spreads via vulnerabilities in Windows RPC, i.e. via open network ports. That's what a worm is.
*laf* I enjoy feeding trolls, so I'll continue.

Couple of scenarios I can think of where it's a good plan, all of which involve the Sun being underutilized or overutilized in its present role.
Consider that Sun having a load all the time of 1.0*procs. Why not move it to somethign less demanding and replace it with a hell of a lot of Blades?
Such pale impersonation of the Great Slashdot Prophet. So transparent. So worthless.
Laptop + satellite modem = realtime documentation of trip and convenient way to call for help, all in one.

Which one is which?
Hell, I have a P3 733 (with 512MB of RAM and a Radeon 9500, mind) and it plays HALO pretty damn well.
Silly AC, CounterStrike is what you do before and after sex.
"Commercial Speech" != journalism
"Commercial Speech" = advertisements
That's the common definition. Glad you're not a lawyer. =)
Except that your complaints are largely completely false rantings, and thus there's nothing to fess up to.
Personally, I think the editors should ban any ip posting this Jihad crap until you "fess up" to being a complete tool.
Offtopic: Do you hate liberals (the actual definition) or Democratic pseudo-progressives calling themselves liberals? Just curious.

Was true in 2001. Not true now. I just tried it.
