Yes, because the code would not be funcitonal if it wouldn't compile (and sometimes, even after it compiles). The poster's grammer mistakes didn't impeade our understanding of what he was trying to communicate. Hence, his post, with the grammer errors, was functional.
One of these days, we'll all figure out that grammer and, for the most part, spelling, are artificial contructs of based on a primitive view of the world.
And for the record, I used 4 apostrophes, and all correctly:p !
What we wanted, was some ability for a portal (some blog like funcitoinality), but we wanted the best of both worlds from Wikis and Nukes. I wanted to flexable page orgaization of a Wiki (can put in as many pages I want) but have some of the forced layout of a CMS.
Some systems I've tried:
Some of those systems are very inmature, but are growing everyday. Sometimes, all you want is a system to edit web-pages throught a webbased interface. Not everyone needs a portal.
If grammer rules had any logic to them, what so ever (or is it what soever, or whatsoever?), we'd be just fine. However, they where (or is it were?) never created. They've evolved. Hence, the abstract-ness of it all...
That's all well and good. How does TiVO advertising help the networks? IT seems the profit goes to TiVO.
I haven't seen any proof, one way or the other, of who is exactly benifiting from this. I would imagine the Networks are getting a lions share of the revenue. Or maybe the networks will dicate which ads get placed, and Tivo just complies.
New deal - We pay forthe hardware, we pay for a subscription and now they try to sell us stuff. We never agreed to that.
Cry me a friggn river. Oh no! They're going to show me non-invasive ads that in no way impeed my use of the product! Help me! Help me! The sky is falling!
I disagree. I think, most people, bought Tivo for its timeshifting and season pass features. Are commercials really so bad?
You people need to get a life. The Networks generate their revenue off of sponsorship (read: commercials). Commercials are how the networks pay for all these shows you're watching! What don't you understand?
You pay your cable bill to cover the delievery of those channels. Yes, some of the cable networks (ESPN, for one) charge cable companies to carry them. But that's a supply and demand issue. People want ESPN. They are willing to pay for it. How many cable companies have to pay for Food Network, or Spike TV? Not many, I'd say. If those channels weren't available, most people wouldn't have a problem with it.
So, until you're ready to pony up the dough and pay for every channel like you pay for HBO, Showtime, and Pay-per-view, quit your bitching, and watch some freakin commercials.
People don't make TV shows (for the most part) out of the goodness of their heart. They do it for profit.
Depending on your hatered of stupid wrongly filled in ballots are either discarded and the voter asked to do it again or discarded and the voter is shot.
How about this: Keep the ballot, but discard the voter.
How Darwinian!

Netscape Reborn?

· Score: 4, Funny
A little history leason is in order:
Netscape, the company, begot Mozilla, the Browser.
Mozilla, the browser begot Netscape, the Browser.
Mozilla, the browser, begot Firefox, the Browser.
Firefox, the browser, begot Netscape the Browser.
And a growing number of us are now choosing Firefox because all other browsers are pieaces of crap (with the exception of Opera. Never used it that much, so I can't speak to it. It could be a ball of crap, I just don't know).
Well, this will work great for me... As my company block web-based email sites, I can now use Group Office installed on my home server to check my gmail. The beauty of it is, GO doesn't actually remove the emails from the server. However, I can delete them if I like.
Wait a damn minute... Who said it ONLY had to be online? That's not what I said at all. Online gaming adds another dimension to games. It should not replace the game (although, I think my good friendhollismb would disagree;) ).
I haven't played GTA:SA, yet, but I have to say, that entire gaming style doesn't excite me anymore. It was fun in GTA3. Vice City was cool, too. But isn't it a little played out?
And no online support?!?! Come one. It doesn't take a rocket scientest (just a computer one) to do this. In GTA, you can just walk around the city, and rape, pilage, and murder to your little hearts content. However, no one ever attacks YOU out of the blue. Imagine a massivly networked came of GTA. You'd never know who in the city was AI or another real person. You could just be walking down the street, and BAM! some fool knocks you upside the head with a baseball bat.
That, I'd pay $50 for. Just a re-hash of GTA:VC, no thanks. I'll pass.

I'm not saying that the Christian right is evil, dumb, or stupid (although, like all groups, they have memebers that DO fit that mold). And having politians being believers is not an issue either. Everyone believes in something. My problem is them using the government to push their agenda, and beliefs, on me.
And just because something was written into the founding documents doesn't make it right, or appicable to todays world. After all, the Constitution had provisions for slavery in it. See Article 1, Section 2, third paragraph.
Sure, the South Park Republicans are a nice concept. However, they sound more like Libertarians to me. I wish I could find a party to had the Liberatrian's view on social issues (if it dosen't violate anyone else's right to life, liberty, or property, go ahead and do it. Examples: Drug use and Gay marriage), but had a more responsible fiscal view (not as hard-nosed as the Liberarians, but more restrained than the Democrats).
As things stand, I'll vote for the Democrats in every close election, like the last one (if its going to be a blow out one way or the other, I'll vote Libertarian). I find the influence of the Christian -right to be one of the scariest things facing America.
What's so profound? You've got to be kidding me.... Try looking at the Red vs Blue country map being published in almost every newspaper... If you just looked at it, you'd think 'heck, Kerry got his arse beat'. When in reality, he got 48.5% of the popular vote. Those maps are miss-leading (liberal media my ass...).
This 3D map is a much more accurate reflection of the voter reality.
Now, I don't want to sound like a sore loser. Bush won fair and square. He got more votes. He secured the Electoral College. No (or neglegable) voter fraud or intimidation. Maybe if the Democrats would have put someone other than Mr. Empty Suit up, the election would have turned out different.
I've never heard of Lulu, till now. What a cool site! I agree that they are the publishing equivilant of Cafepress (fyi: the cafepress products tend to be slightly crappy. But I guess you get what you pay for, right?). I guess its also kind of like the BN.com's self-publishing service (which was expensive). This definitly seems like a better deal.
Anyone here ever publish anything through Lulu?
Like music, the more that we can take out of the hands of the huge publishing houses, the better we'll all be.

I'd love to see that happen, but I have my doubts. People are like trained monkies. If it doesn't come from some big company, they don't like it.
Maybe a partial explaination of Wal-Mart.
