Oh, it will, little Timmy. It will. You'll start out harmlessly craving men with tremendous bulges, but over time, it'll all turn into communism. Run, little Timmy, run!
You didn't put quite enough "air of superiority" into that nugget of wisdom. You did hit a nice mixture of condescension and Slashdot cliches, though. Overall, I give your post six misshapen testicles out of a million.
So the size of a man's wombstirrer is news for nerds? Or is it stuff that matters? I can't figure this one out. Will someone with a deep-seated (HA) interest in Mr. Routh's babyleg explain it to me?
On a semi-related note, I guess this means we'll start posting lots of hollywood news, so I for one will regularly submit pictures of surgically enhanced celebrititties.
More properly, there are some horrible hacks out there who misuse HTTP. In particular, anyone who uses the GET method to change server state should have a finger removed.
Browsers, on the other hand, have implemented some horrible hacks in lieu of properly implementing the protocol. That's more along the lines of your complaint.
Ugh. BASIC shouldn't be learned by anybody. That language has done more damage to the software industry than I can calculate. Let people learn Ruby. That fits almost all of your requirements, except for the irrational prejudice against OO.
It's a terrible movie, but young Miss Berkley flashes her coy sideways smile. That gave it a few extra stars in my book. Not enough hollywood movies get all clitorical like that.
It's pretty messy with the pointy and the clicky but from the command line it's easy to manage, assuming you know what you're doing.
I'm going off the topic and on a rant
In general, that's never true. Visual UI is a much more intuitive and manageable metaphor for several reasons, not the least of which that it enables feedback to user without displacing things. The problem you've experienced is likely the result of a poor GUI, not GUI in general. Since you appear to be a UNIX user, I'm not surprised. The weakest guis tends to appear there. I've found, however, that with thought into how the work is accomplished, nothing beats a well designed graphical interface.
I'll preface this by actually giving my opinion about the Patriot act: it's a rights violating piece of shit. Didn't expect that, did you? In my post, I wasn't even referring to the Patriot act, I was referring to my parent post.
As regards the point to which you (sort of) replied, could I be any more correct? My post got modded down immediately. Typical slashdot behavior - it violates the leftist groupthink, so it must be suppressed. No skin off my back, really. It demonstrates I know what I'm talking about.
In any case, I don't think you know what a conservative is. It has nothing to do with the Republican party. I can tell you that much. I can tell you're not drawing those distinctions, though - you're just interested in propogating your point of view. That's fine - I participate in this leftist feedback loop site for sheer amusement. There's no insight to be had here on anything that isn't strictly technical.
And yet, not one thing you cite makes the article any more true.
Like it's been said, there's no need to pile bullshit on top of the all too real problems that characterize the white house. If it comes out in a more believable way, then we'll believe it. Until then, it's merely ranting and raving.
The real problem with old programmers that I've seen is that they figure they're owed a huge salary even though their skills haven't kept up with modern needs. Of course, this is based on a limited and invalid sample. It't not like time in is a valid reason to expect a high wage - experience counts, but productivity counts a hell of a lot more.
Come to Slashdot! Get a feedback reward for complying with groupthink! Impress a bunch of socially stunted rejects! You don't even need to know anything! Just recycle any one of a hundred old 'jokes.' It's a fucking blast!
Keep believing that because you do something a certain way, anyone who doesn't is inferior. It's not true, of course, and your belief will never make it so, but please continue it. It amuses me to see the superiority complex of those who are dogmatically locked into "One True Way." It's almost like conversing with an Intelligent Design proponent.
The truth of the matter is, in enterprises of a certain size, the licensing costs aren't much of a consideration at all. tIn fact, they're basically insignificant compared o the costs of administration. I'm not taking a side on that one way or the other. I'm just saying that if a few thousand bucks is a big deal to you, then don't use stuff you have to buy, because obviously you have different priorities.
In other words, the cost doesn't actually have to be justified. It's obviously acceptable to the market at large, whether or not you're willing to pay it.

Download the client, check back in a bit. Jump to the console, run:
./configure && make && make install
tar xfz gaim-x.x.x.tar.gz && cd gaim-x.x.x &&
Simple
Yeah, that makes installing a binary on Windows look like an nigh impossible task.
Oh, it will, little Timmy. It will. You'll start out harmlessly craving men with tremendous bulges, but over time, it'll all turn into communism. Run, little Timmy, run!
See, now this I like. You've managed to make a fairly contentless post that adequately explains a ton of your neuroses all at once.
The original recipe may have called for less condescension, but in the hands of a master such as yourself, that's merely a guideline.
Overall, the piquant pissiness of your post earns you a hefty 22 misshapen testicles out of a million.

Yeah, it looks like a bunch of terrorists are getting off on legal technicalities.
I guess maybe I'll start getting advice on how to soothe my mental illnesses on Slashdot soon, too. We'll start with my sex addiction.
It's a shame, really. We have the charity to help sick children, but there's no foundation I can fund to give you your missing sense of humor back.
Won't someone think of the humorless jackasses?

It's a way to turn gas into electricity, and needs to be depolyed where cars want to slow down.
Like, I don't know, traffic lights? I mean, I only read the summary, so I don't know the whole story, but...

Ah, yes, because socialism and communism work so well outside of a police state.
Your paranoia is ridiculous. I would say get treated, but you're probably too deep in the illness to accept it as anything but a brainwashing.
Yeah, because Mao was a compassionate, kind leader of the people who only had the interests of the working class at heart.

That's not good enough. Entertainment wants to be free!

Even with that doubt, remember they, not the voters, decided Bush was the winner in 2000.
Yep, keep banging that drum. Someday, you'll figure out what rhythm is.
And yet technically, you are insightful, at least according to the definition of the word.
Preach on, brother. Ultraliberals abound on this site, and they tolerate everything... that they agree with.

Extensions are for the lazy who don't want to write their own code.
Or maybe for people that don't know how? You know, that majority of the human race, who shouldn't be required to learn?
I love Opera
Obviously. And obviously love is blind.
