Well since his article points out that it took about 5000 years (from 3300 BC to 1900) for blacksmiths to go extict, I figure programmers still have about 4900 years left to go.
Isn't it kind of lame for an author to quote themself from another work they did. This dude quotes his other book to define "fitscape" (in itself a thoroughly artificial word). Why not just put a definition in it rather than source out to his other work.
It makes sense if it was some other author or some other word, but it just seems a little ego-stroking (or "fitsturbation" as it is known).
I remember building countless lega versions of the starfighter, complete with little doors and missiles for the "death blossom". Man that movie was awesome.
Never figured out why they didn't use the "death blossom" on all the other starfighters or earlier in the fight.
Must be the same principle that caused Voltron to save the Flaming Sword as the last weapon in every fight.
The key is aggregation. Plus there are public records and publicly available records. For example, credit headers are publicly available and were all over the place at my former employer.
Axciom collects these same records and puts them together into a usable database.
Note that this same problem exists in JSP, PHP, CGI or any other web prog system where stupid programmers build db queries as Strings.
This isn't unique to ASP or M$ and pretty much every API has a way of programatically building queries and dml.
I worked at a large public records aggregator company that sold access over the internet and it was shocking how poorly secured the data was (possibly still is).
There were many programmers who had copies of the db at home (each db included millions of SSNs, DOBs, etc).
I hear they've cracked down and tried to make it more secure, but last time I checked it was still wide open.
Even if the check cleared, it doesn't matter. If the company filed for bankruptcy, the creditors would force any payments made within the last 90 days to be returned.
Are you sure your story isn't fiction?
Why couldn't you just replace the motherboard or swap the harddrive into a new mac?
Bah, it's not that the calendar is based on Jesus (so what). The funny part is that people think it is less Christian because they call it CE instead of AD.
If the point is to secularize the calendar then make up some new time scale.
The humor behind CE/BCE replacing AD/BC is that the dating system is still Christ based.
If you really want to secularize dates then you need to pick some new point in time.
But I guess the wankers who decided that CE was somehow better than AD knew no one would go for their idea if people had to calculate what the real date is.
I get a little chuckle whenever someone uses BCE/CE.
As of right now, the price of verisign stock is $16.22 putting the market cap at $3.94 billion. Since they have about $700 million in cash, there's no way you'll be starting a leveraged buyout with $15MM. Even if you did want to do a leveraged buyout you'd need the backing of one or more wall street syndicates. There's no way the Russian mob is performing a buyout with the backing of wall street.
Please stop spreading inaccurate anectdotes.
Of course doctors like to think they're not in it for the money. There's really no other career that is as portable as the medical field. You can practice in any state in the country and make an excellent living.
There are way more surgeons making 500k+ than wall street employees.

Media playing is now basic functionality that users expect in the OS. Just like IE. The operating system shouldn't exclude other programs, but including/ bundling is a good thing.
Just like windows included, notepad, calc, telnet, ftp, it should include media playing and browsing.

Of course that would be "lego", not "lega".

It should be Clerks 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Yeah, they'll get right onto that after slashdot introduces the minimum IQ requirements for posting.

Isn't nitting about nits a nit? Pick yourself.
No, there are 10 bits per character. There are still just 8 bits per byte.

You are correct. I mean what self-respecting pimp would be caught dead in a honda? What, you're not a pimp, I thought only pimps drove '92 Eldorados.
Yeah, those plants are called "epiphytes". Just a little bit of knowledge gleaned from Cryptonomicon.
