So let me get this straight - you are using slang from a specific, wholly unrelated, website and appear to expect everyone to automatically follow along or just accept it?
Then you start calling people a jack-ass?
Happy New Year to you, too.
The Boss joystick has screwed me up to this very day! In the excitement I could really reef on those suckers, and to this day I still find myself pushing harder than I should be pushing.
The leaf switches were backed by plastic, and did break but you could easily open them up and alter the leaves so they would still work. The original Atari VCS j-sticks were pretty solid too, but other types would get broken in a couple of weeks.
I did QA until I escaped (a la Dilbert) a couple years ago.
- Release date set
- Development schedule slips
- Development Schedule slips some more
- Release date is NOT revised
- QA fits into what is left of schedule, with no additional resources
- Software ships with whatever surprises remaining
- Patch
- Repeat
Agreed.
However, I also find interesting that this password was leaked in onto an airfare chat site (as posted somewhere above). Now I wonder how many of those hits were from the accused, and how many were the general public looking at Air Canada's "Private" booking system?
Problem is he wasn't "disinvited". The "old key" was part of a severance package to allow him 2 tickets once a year for 5 years, so his key is supposed to still work.
but logging into a website 32 times an hour for 10 months; is that really necessary to get the information Westjet is accused of using?
I would think a couple of times an hour at most would be all that is required to gather flight loads. I can't see a whole lot of passengers waiting until 2 minutes before the flight to book their tickets (it may happen once or twice, but over the course of months those will be anomolies). So either Westjet was being stupid and killed the goose that laid the golden egg, or there is a lot more going on than we being told.
Geez, well I would think that this article could damage a lawsuit. If the login was made public how do you determine exactly who has been logging in, and for what purposes.
True, but that is an issue of trust in anything you do on the 'net.
When you buy any product you are trusting the other side to deliver the goods. If those goods are new, used, stolen or counterfeit, you have no idea until you receive them. You are trusting the other party.
The same applies to internet gambling - buyer beware.
What about allowing gambling only to licenced businesses, and a condition of the licence is allowing random audits? Wouldn't that confrom to the WTO ruling? Then perhaps it would make the "cost" of cheating too great to risk; especially since it is such a lucrative industry anyways.
I never had a mouse on my commodore machines. I did go through a number of joysticks though. Initially I used my Atari VCS joysticks, and after those I actually ran through a number of other joysticks. It seemed that the aftermarket joysticks couldn't handle the abuse I put them through.
On my old C128 (I was sure it was going to be the greatest thing when I sold my C64) I had GEOS and thought the graphical waste basket was neat... until I dropped an essay in it and then panicked. That lead me to the discovery the the SECOND time you write and essay you get much better results.
But GEOS was still my first encounter with a graphical operating environment.
I received the following email yesterday:
Oracle Corporation has been notified by Sun that the set of VeriSign Class 2 and Class 3 Certificates used in Oracle products will be expiring on January 7, 2004.
Please review MetaLink Doc 260332.1: Expiration of VeriSign Class 2/Class 3 Certificates on Jan 7,2004 for detail information.
A pretty polished release is being given away - what can I do to support this kind of output?
I was thinking about purchasing the original RTCW but it is getting a bit dated now.
How do I support these commercial developers who have given way something free?
