I'm currently using quicktime with the Perian codecs package. It plays almost everything I can find (I've had about 2-3% of the videos I've torrented not play despite playing in VLC - no program crash just a dialog saying that the file is not in the proper format).
Yeah, he won't have his nose in the air when their economy collapses and we see 1USD = 0.073CAD.
When it happens, I am going to head down to Minneapolis, find some hookers and then pay them to fight some other hookers I picked up in Tijuana. Be able to do it all for about 12 CAD if I budget. Maybe more if the Tijuana hookers can't be revived (I had them in that freezer for quite some time and I'm not as experienced with Cryogenics as I would like - no I did not just use a deep-freeze; I know THAT doesn't work).
I think that it just indicates that he knows "Christian Children Fund" etc just keeps the money to themselves.
I am suspicious that they take your money and then eat the bloated African children. Remember those licorice candies called "Nigger Babies"? Well they aren't really made from licorice!
Someone who tries to go 20 in a 50 zone in a styrofoam helmet while everyone else is doing 55 in several tonnes of steal is stupid; very stupid. Then they put on faggy little tight shorts and ride in the passing lane with their noses in the air because they think they are good for the environment but what they don't see is the 10 car length line behind them that has to go gas-break-gas-break and get shitty fuel consumption.
Then they wonder what I get out of my pickup truck and donkey punch them at intersections. The cheers and waives of the motorists behind me make my day though;)
You can make snakes dead with a gun too, they're just smaller and shaped in such a way as to make it more difficult to hit them (as opposed to a bear). If you have been bitten, the gun is still good for killing the snake to take with to the hospital so you can say "I was bitten by THIS snake!" not "I was bitten." (then they know what anti-venom to give you).
If the laws weren't such that the prices become artificially inflated you would not have that problem as the drugs would be easily and cheaply available to the addicted.
You didn't mention what type of engineer you are. Computer/software/hardware, perhaps? Then yes, I'd agree that programming logic, vector operations, and the like are probably a valuable intellectual commodity. But I know many engineers who work day in and day out designing things, and this takes more than a simplistic knowledge of how to perform statistical computations.
Are you saying Computer/software/hardware engineers don't design things or did you mean to make those separate points and accidentally joined them with a "but"?
I'm a software developer and my sister is a teacher. She does not spend any time after 9-3:30 on work - ever. She also gets 2 months off every year. Oh and she makes more than me. This is in Saskatchewan. She will admit it herself if she's not in the company of other teachers (most of whom try to convince me that they actually work). The union keeps them in their nice tax payer funded positions.
Every night grading and creating lesson plans? Pfft, more like fire up the Scantron and using the lesson plan from last year.
Yeah, he seems large at first, but then you must realize that what you see has been multiplied by the square root of 2 and he is actually larger than he appears. Though still not enough to be referred to as "Titanic".
The states could have simply not put Hussein in power and everyone would have been ahead. The Taliban was defeated within a few months and now they're just stalling.
I always found that overloaded operators tended to make people forget that they are calling a function and not just performing a simple operation as they would be with integers or floats. I know that your variable size type with automatic reference counting etc lets you write code so that it looks like all that has to be done is to use the '=' operator, but that is not what the computer must do for it. A person can go overboard here just like with templates (which I also don't like; you still need to recompile for different types, the syntax is ugly, and really your source editor can probably do a find and replace automatically).
Returning structures is done through the use of pointers and is not difficult once you get used to it. Whenever I want objects, I just write the struct definition in its own source file with the functions that operate it all in there too. I also write the functions to have a pointer to the structure as the 1st parameter. Inheritance is obviously not that easy (you can have structs within structs etc but it isn't the same) but I don't find that I need it as much as the OO Design books say that I will.
It sucked for everything that I tried to do with it, the video thing was just an extreme example. Please notice that I also included some of the other things that sucked about it (drivers). You also do not need a high end processor or a 700Watt PSU to do video processing. The A64 3500 that I mentioned only had a 330Watt silent startec psu and worked fine (though if I had put in a high end gfx card of the time I would have gone up to at least 400 probably 450 to 500 to be safe; I was using a cheap AGP radeon 7000 with 32MB RAM because it worked with open source drivers perfectly).
Either that or let them shoot some arrows, then fire back a couple hellfire missles, just to let them know who's boss.
That would be cool. It would also be funny if you just hovered there and let their arrows bounce off until they got tired of shooting them. Then just start flashing a bunch of colored lights in geometric patterns. Once you have done that, leave the immediate area for a bit.
Then come back at night, abduct one of their tribesmen and put him in a bright room. Once he is in the room, we come in with dark sunglasses with big lenses and snazzy white coveralls to go with the shades. We should ignore him/her if they try to speak to us (we likely won't understand their language anyways). At this point we should shove probes up their asses and then take blood and other bodily fluid samples. If the abductee is female, she should be impregnated (artificial insemination is best, but if you are desperate just find a human with similar skin color and don't have him where the coveralls and glasses combo).
In the event that you do get a female and impregnate her, come back in 3 or 4 months (time isn't important, just be sure to get there before the end of the second trimester so that the baby has very little chance of surviving outside of the womb). When you come back, put the coveralls and glasses back on and abduct the woman again. Once you have her, remove the fetus and have your dark skinned pal make some hand gestures to indicate that the baby would live "up there" (point up to the sky etc). Then place a tiny piece of a meteorite under her skin (I recommend administering a good narcotic dose here, not enough to put her to sleep but enough to make her groggy and unaware). You can either keep the fetus or throw it away at this point, you won't need it again for our purposes (though I recommend keeping it as you can sell it to stem cell researchers or you can dissect it yourself if you like embryology and you just never no when an aborted fetus might come in handy - it's best to store them in a deep freeze or similar device).
Finally, every few years, come back and abduct her again. Each time you do it come back with the same weird looking kid (note that he must be both wierd looking in some fashion and of similar skin color and body type to the abductee). Have her play with the kid and give her food and drink that would appear strange to her (you could just bring something from burger king just make sure to present it in an odd fashion). If she seems upset to leave the kid behind, have the kid indicate that he can't survive outside in the air (he could just take deep breaths and then pretend to gag while pointing outside).
This is a wonderful hobby, but be warned that it's easy to get carried away with it.
I did not say hygiene anywhere. Personal attacks don't have to involve hygiene (although they certainly can). The phrases "Sorry, but his opinion carries more weight than yours" and "I wonder why you are not an authority like him..." are not the same as "your arguements are not well articulated". The final criticizes my arguements, the first 2 are directed at me myself. You may try to argue with this, but I think you know that they are sarcastic bitchy comments as opposed to anything that adds to the discussion.
Also, how do you know that I am trying to achieve fame or that you haven't heard of me and that I desire fame? I'm just an anonymous slashdotter out looking for +1 funny mods. I could be the same person that you were quoting originally.
I was thinking of the cost of the tower itself. The cost of the actual transceiver will become negligible as you said but the cost of steel is going up and the coax is horrible expensive for the 2.4GHz band (I guess they aren't talking about 25MHz; good cause doing this over HF is hella stupid). If you were allowed to use UHF broadcast TV stations in extreme rural areas it would make things a lot easier. The tax break is a good idea.

Invite him over for a few beer and swab the bottles when he leaves.

If the one that survived was the driver of the pickup, he should be charged with manslaughter.

What have you got against paragraphs?
I bet you're from Alberta.
I swear to God, if Harper signs this, I am going to skull fuck him.
Bring it on CESIS, I'm ready and waiting!

You are correct; there will always be critics. Usually the critics are a)women or b)bitchy little slashdoters.
Now we know how you were made goatse.cx man.

That's pretty funny too. You should have posted with an account so that everyone could see it.

Not to mention it also makes wild predictions that don't turn out, is an apple hater, and wishes it were as cool as Leo Laporte.
