Somehow the filter at my company changed your picture into a picture of a widely extended asshole. Could you render your original picture in ascii to circumvent it please?
I would have recommended they steal something else, like investment banking.
Or the wheel, so their cars actually stay level during driving. They might actually hit the intended target during a drive-by-shooting too, instead of some granny with her grandchildren.
It seems you confused "company" with "school" and "spokescritter" with "teacher".
set theory IS obscure to most of the general public, and probably to a significant part of @Stake's target audience as well, and since it does not have a direct impact on securing networks, it's NOT their task to teach them about it.
I really do feel bad for the RIAA members (not the RIAA itself). They are stuck having to eventually face the fact that they are 80% of the way to extinction. Can anyone realy imagine a future 50 years down the road where anyone is interested in buying a piece of plastic with music on it?
Yes, storing it in a way that does not rot too fast or get deleted for video game space is valuable, but I see the future retailers of music being the clubs that host musicians. They should strike a deal with the performers that they host to sell the music via a Web site and via a kiosk at the show.
Here's one business model for that:
Club makes USB-fobs that contain the customer's name, credit info (or a key that they look up the credit info in their database with) and email address. The customer goes to a show and likes it, so they walk over to the kiosk and plug in their fob to order the "album" on the way out. The kiosk notes the purchase in the database and sends email to the customer with a link to download the music from the Web site.
Quick, easy, and here's the best part: you don't care about file-swappers because you get the customer at the exact point where they decide they like the music. You don't care if the 5 billion people who never come to your club swap this music around. What you care about is that your club (and the artist who gets a cut) made some extra money from a customer. You win, they win and the band wins.
But, I still feel bad for the labels who are doomed because they can't make a "star" anymore out of some semi-talented performer who they can stick on MTV. Or more to the point, they can make the star, but there's soon going to be no point in terms of selling CDs.
vi has a 70s ambience (no mouse, no GUI) that's refreshingly clean.
So does edlin. Come on, get real. The only benefit of vi is that it's available on a most unix-like systems, so you can quickly hack something together if you're in a hurry, Anything more, and you're going to need a REAL editor.

Your naivety nearly made me cry.

If only my company had this filter so the parent post would make sense.
the snow has melted
I'm leaving
That was surreal. Thank you very much for that.
Next time, though, try formatting your text.
That only works when you post logged in.

OMG!!! How did you know? This is just creepy!!
OMGOMGOMG
don't tell my parents plz, it'd kill them.
It's funny you should mention that, because I just took a shit in your mother's mouth AND SHE LIKED IT.
Is that a coincidence or what?
That is stupid on so many levels.
Or possibly I just don't get the joke. Yeah that must be it.

If a figurehead/spokesperson for my company talked like that, I'd kick him out too. Nobody who's not a geek understands what that means.

I'll shut up now.
They want to rip the code and put it into their version of Linux
Regular batteries are very similar to your lemon battery
Except, regular batteries taste better, so use that sharp knife to cut them open and suck the lemony goodness from those Duracells.
God, I miss that PhysicsExpert guy. Now THAT was some quality trolling.
So basically what you're saying is that it's Taco's fault that you're being a spiteful bastard.
Interesting.

The nice one, with the audio (and probably popups for IE)
I would not call vi particularly intuitive, but it does cut down on pointless formatting decisions that seem to endlessly arise.
Yes, and Paint cuts down on pointless design decisions that seem to arise from crap like Photoshop. Get real please.

Use only stored procedures on the client side. Makes it easier to update code too.
I really wish I had thought of that BEFORE my last db project.
Q: Why have locks on cars, keys to your home. A: Because if you are even modestly intelligent you protect your property.
Yeah, but if I rent a car, I expect to get the keys to it, including the ones that open the trunk and the gas opening.
I just wanted to say that I admire the stylish and capable manner in which you dealt with that situation.
Thank you for making this world a little better.
