A far sight better than 38 years, which is more than some murderers get.
When this student commits another crime in an attempt to get ahead, such as stealing an identity, and when he gets caught, then throw the book at him. But right now? It's kind of immoral to punish someone in advance for something we think it possible that they may do, at least without ample evidence that they are in the process of planning to do it in a very specific manner.
After about 7 years in "teh biz", I've yet to have an issue going back over my old code.
Then again, I generally don't make any attempts to write terse code. I think i++ is about as terse as I get, though sometimes when I'm feeling really crazy, I bust out ++i. But that's once every year or so, give or take a few months. I suppose at some point I could stumble on that little shenanigan, but I'm willing to take that risk, if only for the wild feeling of rebelliousness that infuses me after such an act.
I've heard the "Comments aren't just for other people, they're there for you", but in all honesty, comments hurt readability 95% of the time I'm in a file, whereas they may only modestly help 5% of the time. Further, take into consideration the person who writes a comment telling me what a snippet does - or, more precisely, what (s)he thinks it does. Moving along with believing them for an hour before finally going over it, line by line, only to discover it didn't do what their comment said at all - that is the height of frustrating, for me.
I really think all IDEs need to have the preference setting to "suppress all comments by default". Don't even show me a comment was there, just go from line 45 to 47 without me being any the wiser unless I go out of my way to turn said comments on. That'd be nice.
Basically, horizontal space is cheap. Vertical space is expensive. Don't take it up with "this loop goes over the list of users and displays their names with a checkbox next to them". That's worse than useless. It's a hindrance. If you name your variables "userList" and your checkbox "checkBoxes", that's all I need, kthx.
Absolutely agreed. Tribes (and Tribes 2) pretty much require it.
Tribes: Vengeance is an atrocity upon mankind and the developers should be facing a war crimes tribunal right this very second. Further, Vivendi should be dissolved and any who continue to link themselves to Vivendi in any way should be considered terrorists.
Sorry, but torture as a punishment is not acceptable. You can go from hard time to executing him, but nothing in between. Why? Because that is inhumane, and besides what it does to him, it makes us just as barbaric as he is.
Do you really want to use his actions as the bar to which your own are measured?
Are you serious? Have you ever been bed ridden in a hospital and the tv is broken? You damn near go crazy after a while. It was one of the best days of my life when I got out and was allowed to return to work.
American men and women, just like you, me, and people who run Enron and Halliburton and damn-near any other skeezy outfit you can imagine. I am as sure as I can be that there are competent and moral individuals the whole way through the Guantanamo system, just as I am sure that there are those who are dirty, underhanded, manipulative, power mongering fools. The misled, the zealous, the sychophantic. The military is a microcosm of America.
You're so sure that every single person in Guantanamo deserves to be there, without doubt, forever and ever and ever. You have to be, otherwise you're saying "better the innocent to be punished than the guilty to go free", a 180 degree contradiction to the very foundations of our legal system, you know, that whole Constitution thing, that you swore to uphold and protect with your very fucking life?
I don't doubt that some of those in Gitmo are evil scumbags who get punished to the severest extent of the law. That is what we are, are we not? A lawful society? One built on due process? Exactly. Those who have done wrong will be punished, and those who have done extreme wrong will be extremely punished. Those who have not, or doubtfully have, will be let free.
That's all we ask for. That's why we don't have military tribunals to determine our guilt. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
Either way, it's not like we WANT to let everyone in Gitmo, or anyone else, get off scot free. I am an American, and trust me, Americans are better than these scum we are fighting. If I learned one thing in a basic civics class, it's that we are better than everyone else precisely because we hold ourselves to higher standards (or, at least, we're supposed to be, and we're supposed to do that).
Not only will I do that, but I'll make sure I photoshop a picture of you burning the Qu'ran while cavorting with naked islamic women and eating a BLT. Then I'll give him the directions.
Keep in mind you can replace those, too. I had to replace mine on a chair I got back in 98, and I'm still using it today at work. It cost about 30$ for it, which is a lot, but I love this chair.
The Aeron destroys my back. I don't get enough shoulder support. Maybe I just have a freakishly tall torso or something, but I need my shoulders to bear the brunt of the weight of my back. My lower back, at this point, cannot support my weight while sitting anymore (2 microdisectomies, two more blown discs above those - it's not a pretty sight!)
I'm not really focusing on the binary part so much as the "plutoid" or "dwarf planet" parts of the "binary..." motif. I'm fine with binary. I never said I wasn't. I just said that it's silly to call them "not planets" just because they're have a barycenter. As I said, you don't have "binary starloids" just because they have a barycenter, you have binary stars. They don't get their passes to the Great Star Convention revoked just because their barycenter is not internal.
If you even bothered to read my post, you would have understood that's what I meant rather than zooming off half cocked about the binary part of it, which I didn't have a problem with at all, but said "just having external barycenters should not necessarily, alone, cause a planet to no longer be a planet".
As an aside, I think it silly that they're no planets solely because their barycenter does not lie inside of them. Do binary stars get classified as "Starloids" because their barycenter is between them? I didn't think so.
Of course, as I said below, it's all arbitrary anyway. It is inevitable that someone will be bitching about something no matter what definition we use.
Ditto with every other planet with a satellite. And don't even get me started with Saturn; just LOOK at that mess of rocky neighbors it left floating in a circle around it!
Also, it's patronizing. It's like trying to pass off Civil Unions as just as good as Marriage. You can try, but everyone sees through such cheap tricks.
Honestly, if you're just going to say no, say no. This is like saying "no, honey, you can't have a cell phone, you're only 12. but here, i got you this plastic cell phone that holds candy!"
Your daughter would be well within her rights to kick you right between the legs for excessive dickitry.
I'm sorry, but allowing a malicious website to provide hundreds or thousands of executables on my desktop is *still* an Apple bug. What's worse, it's the root cause. Yes, Windows and IE have a flaw that allow that file to be executed, but it wouldn't be there in the first place - especially in such quantity - if the flaw in Safari didn't exist first.
As you say, the article is your friend.
"The Safari bug, originally disclosed on May 15 by security researcher Nitesh Dhanjani, allows attackers to litter a victim's desktop with executable files, an attack known as "carpet bombing.""
Clearly the quickest way we can get Apple to fix this is to host this attack on all of our own websites, with the.exe in question being the uninstall program for Safari.
As soon as the attack centers on an Apple product, they'll start moving their ass. Until then, it's "not [their] problem".
And you're conveniently ignoring the rest of my comments. When given a choice between some rights lost from bucket A versus some rights lost from bucket B, then you have to choose which you would prefer. Frankly, I don't give a damn about your bank account, but I do care about my right to be free from government spying and confiscation of physical property.
When given an either/or proposition, you choose the lesser of two evils. In an ideal world, we'd get our cake and eat it to.
I don't know if you've noticed, yet, but we don't happen to live in an ideal world. And so I pick my battles - just because I pick different ones than you pick doesn't mean I'm wrong, it just means I value things differently than you do.
Really? 'Cos I'd happily forgo some money if I didn't have to worry about things like the PATRIOT act, PRO-IP act, and other dubious acts that infringe upon my rights.
Frankly, my right to keep my money is far less important to me than my right to not have my government spy on me, take my stuff without any reasonable cause, etc. I guess you're feeling the opposite way, which is fine, but I don't give a damn about money, so maybe that's why I just don't care in comparison.
I can't. It's too choppy and abbreviated, I get pissed off and close it half way through.
Then when people say "why didn't you respond? This was urgent?!?!?!", I say "I'm sorry, your email came through garbled, could you send it again without an 80 character limit?"
In all honesty, I don't much care if they get upset about it. None of them are in a position of power over me, and I'm not trying to be friends with someone who is trying to dictate the width of my screen for me.
Old SD CRT's. It's especially prominent when attempting to watch hockey. Then you're just reacting to the way the player's react, not actually following the puck yourself.
On my big screen, it's better because it's bigger. But when I get a game in HD, I swear I can see the writing on the puck.
I'd say Windows Mobile is approximately 18 bajillion gazillion manillion times better than PalmOS, much less the bullshit you get from whatever-seemingly-custom-OSes-Verizon-puts-on-phones-and-some-PDAs.
Seriously, aside from possibly Android, I won't be changing away from WinMo any time in the forseeable future, if ever.
No, HD made my existing TV obsolete. I won't purchase another TV, ever again, unless it is HD.
After having it in my home and enjoying it for the last year and a half, I can honestly say that even though the particular model I bought was half the price I paid for it a year later, it was still worth every penny to me. I can barely stand to watch SDTV now.

Some jail; around 6 months.

I was waiting for the cars to come out. It's not a proper day at all without a car analogy!

I'm more likely to put a piece of black tape over it (someone else's). Mostly because that solution can withstand power failure :]
