1) Both the citizenry and the government of the United States of America will continue to
enjoy being arrogant and scared at the same time. More and more restrictive undemocratic laws will
be passed in the US and more and more border restrictions will be put in place. Checkpoints will be
setup in most major US cities, US citizens will need to carry identification at all times. A major
terrorist attack will occur in the US and will kill many more than died on 9/11 the world does not
sympathize with the US as they did the first time around. The US engages in an all out war of conquest
in the middle east.
2) Americans continue to use Canada as their number one scapegoat and Canada continues to laugh
at the stupidity of their arguments. Canada under the leadership of Paul Martin grows balls and
enters into negotiations with the EU in an effort to move away from the US sphere of influence.
Canadians are split on this move but slowly come to realise that it's the best course of action.
3) The Canadian economy continues to grow at a faster rate than the US and trade between Canada
and the EU increases. Better relations are established between Canada and China.
4) The Arab/Israeli conflict explodes into civil war and the Palestinians gain ground. The US ceases
it's support for Israel and it looks as though Israel will once again be destroyed. Jewish people
around the world whine and protest but no one cares.
5) North Korea successfully deploys nuclear weapons and George Bush continues to provoke them. The world
secretly hopes North Korea will just go ahead and nuke Washington but Kim loves US tv too much.
6) France continues to enjoy a high standard of living and continues to be the butt of many jokes.
The french don't care.
7) Britain finally decides to join the EU and will phase out the pound in 2006. British troops
pull out of Iraq and Tony Blair is thrown out of office.
8) Mad cow disease hits hard in the US and as usual Canada is blamed. Oddly enough no more cases
of mad cow disease appear in Canada and Canadians continue to enjoy beef.
9) People continue to die in Africa and no one does much about it.
10) Australia decides to become a republic and elects Jeb Bush, George Bush's brother as their first
dictator er I mean president.
remember this? The developer responsible for the Cygwin implementation of Xfree left the project after dealing with the core "team"'s bad attitude. I think other active contributors must have finally overthrown the gate keepers.
Sounds like your just making excuses for the power companies. Of course they're going to be against spending ANY money on upgrading a profitable plant for no reason other than to make it cleaner.
Hi,
I've always used Windowz and I consider myself an exceptional Visual
Basic programmer, so I know computers pretty good. In fact I got an A-
in my programming class last term. But I'm a little wary of how much
power Microsoft has in the computer field. Many of my friends use
RedHat and I've recently installed it on my machine at home. Although
I haven't had as much chance to play with it as I'd like, I've been
greatly impressed.
This weekend I gave some thoughts to the things that are wrong with
Linux. I hope no one minds having some flaws pointed out. I'd like to
help make RedHat stronger so it can conquer MS. Hopefully RedHat will
hear this (crossing fingers) and address these. I think with a little
effort, RedHat's Linux can defeat Microsoft's Windows!:)
To begin with, there are too many different flavors of RedHat.
Browsing a list on Amazon, I saw they made varients under the
codenames of Mandrake, Debian and Slackware, just to name a few. I
know that I'm very new to RedHat so maybe this is obvious but it seems
like RedHat should just sell a few different flavors of its operating
system. Perhaps one for the desktop and one for a server? Could
someone explain why RedHat produces dozens of different versions of
Linux?
Secondly did you know that anyone can view the source code to Linux! I
think that RedHat shouldn't make its code available. After all, what
keeps Microsoft from stealing RedHat's ideas and putting it into
Windows? My friend says that FreeBSD stole the TCP/IP stack from DOS a
long time ago and Microsoft is always looking for revenge for that.
Plus it seems to me like RedHat is just giving away its ideas for
free. And what keeps hackers or terrorists from tampering with the
code and putting a virus in every computer?
On a related note, why doesn't RedHat write Linux in assembly? My
friend says that's what Microsoft does for Windows, and that's why
Windows is faster and more stable than Linux.
Next RedHat definitely should kill -9 (ha, ha!) the command line.
Microsoft finally gave up DOS when Windows 2000 came out. I'm suprised
that RedHat hasn't migrated away from...whatever its version of DOS is
called (Bash, I think?) But maybe this is planned for a future
release?
Finally Linux needs games! RedHat will never be successful in the home
without games. They should also tell M$ to release a version of Office
for Linux too. And Internet Explorer!
Have a nice day! Go Linux!!
This fact plays well in a scientific computing environment such as MIT. It does not match what the majority of systems do today: Solve a business problem. OO languages make it easier to develop business solutions and RDBMS are indeed ideal object stores for this purpose. I love computer science and computing theory about tuples, facts, lists, relvars and all but, once you leave university you might as well flush all that crap back down the toilet. Try telling a manager that they should consider using an object relation database for this project or using a lisp interpreter and they'll tell you to STFU and go back to your desk.
Apple WebObjects solves the supposed complicated OO to RDBMS problem quite eligantely. I've actually used it for a huge project and it worked quite well.
What's so complicated about OO with RDMS? Just use EJB or buy/write your own object relation mapping library. This is a crock. I predict object oriented databases will fizzle and die in 3 days.
It was owned by slave labour style jerks and we had to punch in and out for breaks. They had clerks who checked them for extra minutes here and there. The company was bought out, the punch cards were completely eliminated and morale improved. People started coming in a little early (10 minutes sometimes more) and leaving late. We just had a schedule on the wall and everyone showed up for their shifts. Did some people take advantage and cheat the system? You bet but they were warned and some were fired. The end result was happier more loyal employees all in all.
I'd strongly suggest getting an xbox and an xbox live account instead. You can play online and chat with other players through the included headset. Here comes the security : You can select different digital altered voices. The high pitched robot voice would be especially good. No spy on earth could stand to listen to it for too long.
Why not just take a few seconds and sign up for a hotmail account. It's an instant spam catcher especially if you select all the spam boxes when you sign up! You'll start getting the get a bigger penis emails right out of the box!
I think the problem is that people are'nt aware that "to gyp" refers to gypsies and the stereotype surrounding that. I did'nt until someone pointed it out to me quite some time ago. Maybe you should take up the cause and educate people about the origins of the saying.
My taxes are NOT higher than those I would pay in the US. I know this because I was close to moving their after I graduated from college and after investigating I found out that it was'nt worth it. Then tack on health care premiums and you're talking less money than I can make here.
"One disadvantage with nationalized health care is that if you get problems because of bad treatment, it's very, very hard to sue the state and win."
You actually would'nt sue the state for bad treatment anyway you would sue the doctor responsible. They still carry malpractice insurance.
In Canada doctors are motivated to HELP you because they bill the government just as they would a private insurance company (ie the more complicated treatments they do the more $ they make). So the problem you described with your knee would probably not have happened. You could also get a second opinion because no matter what health care system you have there will always be doctors who get it wrong.
I don't get why Americans are so anti-nationalized health care. I think it's great. I pay NOTHING for health care. My employer pays the $60/month premium charged by my provincial government and I can go to any clinic/doctor/hospital I want. Minimum wage slaves don't even have to pay the premium and they get the same benefits. The other advantage is that our government controls perscription drug prices by listing the price they will pay for drugs.
I would have thought the opposite: Worker happiness is higher in EUROPE, because it isn't some filthy country full of child molestors, second rate chinese merchandise, and street crimes.
Just remember this simple fact : People have long memories and these management twits will pay for their nazi policies once the economy improves. Companies that have treated their employees well during the downturn will keep the good ones and get new good ones if needed. The ones that took advantage will pay by losing their best and brightest to the good companies.
Do you have a source on this one? If true this could once and for all prove my theory that the US government are a bunch of Koran gnomes out for profit.

This article is total crap. Who here actually believes they colorized the Mars pictures? Come on let's get some real stories on here.

Read the article again. He's clearly all for having sex with people under the age of 16.

Hehehe I just joined TopCoder and I'm gonna make fat $$$. 1) Join TopCoder 2) ??? 3) Profit!

Better yet move to BC and GROW pot. It's probably the least stressful, most oportune industry in BC right now.

Where do I sign up? I never donate to cyber panhandlers but I'd gladly give this girl $10 (Canadian so that's 50 cents US).
Just remember this simple fact : People have long memories and these management twits will pay for their nazi policies once the economy improves. Companies that have treated their employees well during the downturn will keep the good ones and get new good ones if needed.

The CIA did everything. Period.
