You have to learn what each hand means, and what each position means in the context of each hand. Once you learn it, it becomes straightforward and easy, but it's definitely the opposite of intuitive.
Which is something my kids had no problem with. They could all tell the time from an analog clock by age four.
Database work: The dullest job in all of the computer industry.
You've, obviously, never worked with a proper database. We don't need these rotten rows and columns, what's wrong with a hierarchical database. There is only one proper database - IBM's DL/I. And only one true implementation of DL/I in IBM's IMS. IMS gets you to, actually, work hard to create your database.
Rows and columns, I spit on your rows and columns.
Referential integrity - who needs RI, you get that for free with IMS.
PS/2 is not hotpluggable. It is possibly to short-circuit your motherboard and fry your controller (not likely, but I saw at least one broken mobo after a failed hotplug attempt)
True, very true. I fried a RS6K motherboard doing that.
I love the USB optical mouse that came with my T30 Thinkpad.
Does this mean that the folks at IBM Almaden can fix slashdot so we don't get all that unstructured crap from the first posters when a new topic arrives?
...because they hide these kind of crap laws inside dissimilar bills, in this case an appropriations bill. It's time to think about who you're going to vote for in 2004.
So who is left after you discount both the Republicans and the Democrats?
Is H. Ross Perot standing this time?
I've got a nice Tony B-Liar that you can have.
(You're welcome to him, please take him and save the UK from a degree of crap!)
In the United Kingdom we still don't have a cross ref between births and deaths. So the scheme used in Fredrick Forsyth's Day of the Jackal to get a fake id (by obtaining a copy of a birth cert for someone who died in childhood) still works.
As long as I could get a fake id that way, it doesn't matter what controls are in place. I'll show up as a valid UK Citizen with a valid identity.
I remember that exact same reaction to the Viking landers back in 1976 when Dr Carl Sagan (1934-1996) was in charge of the Mars missions.

The Royal Institution had Dr Sagan run their Christmas Lectures for Children around that time.
I doubt they'd want to retrofit this to my 1952 Citroen. So I'll be sailing past all the modern cars that get stopped.
The UK Government already fleece us with 4,500 speed cameras that are installed to generate revenue rather than improve road safety. This is the obvious next move. Next they'll be fining us for walking at more than 3MPH. Bring back the red flag, say I.

I'd guess we could call this the Litigious Bastards virus.

It's unlikely, unless your American government has just annexed Holland and Nigeria while we weren't looking.
CAN-SPAM doesn't work, because it flies in the face of European anti spam legislation and because it was n't put forward as an INTERNATIONAL treaty.
Please get it right. He's Tony B-Liar.

Wake up UK, control identity theft first. This nazism (which has just been proposed by the UK Government http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3375711.stm )
doesn't solve the problem of terrorism.
Didn't anyone learn anything from the IRA troubles in Northern Ireland and the Basque Seperatist troubles in France/Spain.
Aren't the primary sources of greenhouse gases the automobile and airliner.

... I'm running IRCD on linux so we can have our own private personal channels.
It takes nine lines just to do "Hello world!"
000100 IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
000200 PROGRAM-ID. DGL.
000300 ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
000400 INPUT-OUTPUT SECTION.

So that is easy to fix by adding an item to my SquidGuard http://www.squidguard.org/ database.
Haven't the Americans just got a 50 million list of folks who don't want to be called.
Do the folks who fit those two categories have a common demographic?
You'll need to hack your software for the UK. You wouldn't want the UK Police http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/12/30/045224 2 to install FreeBSD http://bsd.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/12/30/13 2225 while you weren't looking.

There's even a java emulator for the 6502 processor.
If the price of swans is increasing does this mean that SCO are a) suing them, or b) are likely to sue them after they've finished with IBM?
