    Maybe they are trying to mimic the rise and fall 1999-2000. You know when people still thought they would make their fortune on the internet.

    If there's one thing I know about computers and the internet, it's that fluff is a very big part of it's culture. Also, Pr0n is a very big part of the internet and computers, fluffing is even more pronounced by this.

    I feel that by your review you have exposed the book to be far more accurate in delivery then it ever could dream to be in content.

    Try MT, it is a blog of sorts. I've been using it for a number of weeks now, and know people who've used it for years. Nothing but satisfaction.

    Past initial set up, The admin is very easy and clear to use. Adding entries and managing them is simple.

    It has plenty of third party support as well. From comment spam plugins to remote management utilities. I know nothing about setting up a database/tables, and with a little coaxing from associates, was able to set it up for the most part, all by my lonesome.

    It supports any variety of databases including mysql, requires perl. For more accurate information go to the site.

  12. Re:...or excessively punk... on Nonexistent Windows OS Superior to Panther · · Score: 1

    Personally, I think that if people spend more time on introspection we'd have a lot less anti-depressant commercials to sit through. In general most people become short-sighted of what they have attained/accomplished in their lives. It's very difficult to NOT focus on negative things. It's also very easy to fall into the trap of only seeing the bad in everyone. Fear the worst.

    The evening news is a microcosm of this. When was the last time you heard on the news that 120 000 mothers in your local city, still love their children. No, instead we hear about the one who abuses her own on a daily basis.

    Now THAT'S digressing!

  13. What are you talking about? on New 20" iMac and Dual 1.8GHz PowerMac G5 · · Score: 1

    The iMac flatscreen and the 20" studio display are hardly similar.

    Look at the viewing angle. as soon as you go off 20 degrees on the iMac everything starts to go gradient, like a typical laptop monitor.

    The studio display on the other hand has solid colour at 170 degrees of viewability. That's why it's called the 'studio' monitor. It's made for accuracy in production.

    They are extremely different hardware, and the studio display is far superior.

    Think about who will be the first in a room to condemn "all fags to hell" and other associated rhetoric. While the normal people sit back and wonder what is wrong with this guy?

    No offense to the gays out there, I like gays, they're the life of the party, and us strait guys could sure take some hygene tips from them.

  18. Re:Really, who needs 'em? on Microsoft in the Mirror · · Score: 1

    A 450Mhz G3 is hardly obsolete, and certainly not slow, except by relative means. Once you use 'old' Apple hardware you'll soon discover just how ageless it actually performs. By the same token, I wouldn't recomend a 266 G3 desktop.

    To be quite honest, The B/W I have is at the point where the user is almost the bottle neck, but not quite. Now if you plan on lots of automation, you'll get frustrated with it. But other than that, It's worth it. Besides you can resell that $650 450Mhz G3 in two years for $450 anyways.

    Entry Price? There's no need to buy a G5 and studio display. I've been working here for 7 months on an old G3 beige. Running 10.2.8 without a hitch. The experience is fantastic. You certainly shouldn't look at entry price being unaffordable. At home I bought a used B/W about a year ago. It still zooms. And handily at that. You don't need much to work in an OS X environment. Hell, I'm using a 6 year old computer right now.

    Sadly, I think I just realized that it is explained in M2.

    Before the agents smith fight Neo in the courtyard. I believe that was their attempt to explain this. As Neo entered smith, smith now had the knowledge of the physiology of the 'Unplugged' Entities of the matrix. I think that's what they were attempting to get accross.

    The bad part is that they spend too little time explaining things, and too much time explaining things away.

    All in all the Brothers W. had a very loose grasp on reality once the dollars started rolling in. That's where the matrix went!

  23. Re:Nothing new here. on Longhorn Developers @ MSDN · · Score: 1

    First of all, who said anything about killing the OS? Allthough It can and has happened to me. Mostly through uninstalls to be precise. Example. I uninstalled VisualStudio and because it overwrote precious dll's when it installed, the uninstaller erased them completely, rather than rolling them back. I guess MS's reasoning is "why would anyone want to erase a MS program?"

    Whenever I install a program, and it (depending on the quality or type of installation) overwrites an existing dll file, I consider this corrupted. Perhaps our definition of corrupted is disimilar.

    And also I had heard that they were doing away with dll's because of the problems that are created when third party developers re-write dll's with their shabby software/installs. It's always a mixed bag of results though, in my experience.

    And all those AC's, you blow ass. AC's always blow ass. You are the blowiest of ass blowers that ever blew ass.

    By using a combination of XAML and C# (or Visual Basic(R) .NET) code, you can build various types of output files including traditional Windows desktop executables, DLL libraries, and console applications.
