Joe gets in a car wreck. Later that day, he calls his insurance company. They put him on automated line that asks a few questions. Then it says, "I'm sorry, but you're voice sounds highly stressed. We refuse to acknowledge your claim at this time. You are now suspect of committing insurance fraud. Have a nice day! *click*"
Aren't these kinda days the ones that make people go psychotic and commit mass violent crimes and then shoot themselves at the end?
Hello, sir. We are conducting a survey on the number of people who would like to sign up for a new long distance service. Would you like to sign up for a new long distance service? No? Well let me tell you about some of the features of Company X's long distance so you can make an "informed" survey answer!... etc...
buzzword bingo anyone?
It's time to qualitize our paradigms for increased marketplace productivity and to keep employee morale high by constant restructuring and...
or.. to quote Dilbert, My SPOO has too much FLEEM
The ring's largest single take was 17,496 Sony PlayStation electronic game systems worth more than $5 million
Largest single take? hmm.. that would imply that they took 17,496 in one night from one train.. what happened.. was the engineer sleeping and they drove up with a bus or a couple hundred forklifts or something?
LOL.. just a funny thought to see people using forklifts to steal playstations off a freight train in the dead of night...
Anyone care to find the derivative of that equation and then find the relative minimum?
Mass vs Time that is
Solve dM/dt = 0
or.. if you want to know how fast it was going when it hit minimum mass
Solve dM/dv = 0
of course.. dealing with constant acceleration makes the graph much more difficult considering that the mass is changing through time due to both fuel consumption and relativistic speeds
oh well.. lol
Hmm.. mass ~ earth at rest? or at near light speeds
At near light speeds you have to include the effects of relativity.. wouldn't that cause the mass to increase even more?
those are all things that just about anyone should know about computers
How about they ask questions like what the Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor does.:)
hmm
many of the "defects" their software found are *possible* NULL pointer dereferences. Many of the possible NULL values seem to depend on function return values. I wonder if their software was smart enough to process the functions that are called to check for possible return values or if it just assumed "All functions involving pointers may return NULL" Perhaps Apache put the NULL value checking inside the function that is called so that NULL will never be returned by the function.
Just out of curiosity, I wonder what the result is if they run that program on its own code. LOL... anyone find that result published on the site?
The difference is that now that someone has found 31 errors in the open source Apache software, they will be fixed fairly quickly whereas closed source software will have to have the company do a cost-benefit analysis, put together a team to do the fixes, probably charge to put out patches or minor upgrades (assuming the product is Microsoft's IIS;b)...
I used to play some of the free games on MSN gaming zone and IIRC the JRE/Plugin from Sun would always fail to load/run the games and I would have to manually turn the thing off and reactive the M$ junk to get them to work. Once I would leave that site however, in order for other sites to work the M$ JFE (Java Fail-time Environment) had to be deactived and the Sun JRE had to be turned back on. Has anyone tested SUN JRE recently on MSN Gaming Zone? Are they still writing Applets to cater only to the M$ version?

nah...
Remember.. the bunny wont die
It just keeps going and going and going...
but then all the NASA computers will crash due to 'inaccurate' or not realizing they need to convert ;b
