But I wouldn't be printing out what I'd being doing. Where's the logic in that?
I tried If he=jerk then [dump.him]= true else print You're an idiot, and that just ends with me saying that I should dump the guy if he wasn't a jerk. What you've now written doesn't tell me what I should be doing if he is a jerk (Do it-do what?) and tells me that if he isn't a jerk I'm an idiot. Why would I tell myself that I'm an idiot if the guy isn't a jerk?
Humilation is one thing. Great, show it to grade school kids and they might think twice in the future. But I for one, do not want my "adventures in the drunk tank" broadcast for all to see. Barfing on the cop at the scene of my accident was enough.
This is same sort of stupid stuff that Alabama pulls. They charge a licensing fee to sell calculators in the state. This is from a law made in the 1800's when cash registers were introduced. I think politicians thought "if it takes money, we should get some of it." They threw "them thar' cal-u-lating machines" in since they can be used to calculate money.
Yahoo!'s user agreement doesn't protect someone from being abused like that. At least that's not how I read it. It states the user is responsible to NOT post such abusive things, and that Yahoo! cannot control what its users try to post (to a certain degree). It also states that a person may be exposed to things that will offend them. Therefore, Stephen, by registering with Yahoo! he agreed that this stuff might happen.
Another case of someone just trying to make a buck.
I agree, it is obsolutely necessary. Just like it's necessary to learn MATH and not just how to use a calculator. Speedy typing is important for a good job, the only exception would be for coders, networkers, that kind of stuff. It's where straight forward typing is needed (letters to customers, clients, law papers, e-mails to same, etc., etc.) that it's importance becomes clear.
And I swear I hate those IMer's who type in shorthand. That's only appropriate for phone text messages. Just what the hell is "prolly" supposed to be anyway? (I know what it stands for, it just's a rhetorical question...)
Oh, hell, technically you're double taxed, at least here in the USA. First you pay income taxes on your paycheck, then when you go buy something, you pay sales tax. I feel violated twice there.
Work for it, get taxed on it. Spend it, get taxed on it. What's the difference?
I don't understand why the solution that worked for the music world wasn't used here. Back when blank recording cassettes were created and mass marketed, the music industry nearly blew a gasket. The compromise is that TDK/Maxell/Fuji and the rest pay a small portion of their sales to the record companies. Kind of a tithe. While it's still illegal for me to copy my CD's onto cassettes and SELL them to people, I can do it for personal use. Everybody's happy.
While sad, it's the way things are. He didn't finish it on his own, he finished it with the company, so I agree with the ruling. It's probably how he got the job in the first place..."see, I got this here reverse compiler thingy I've been working on for years now". Great for an interview, not so good for ownership down the road. That's the kind of stuff you hammer out when accepting a positon. He should have required, as a part of employment, partial ownership. He may not have gotten the job, but he'd own the thing now, if he'd finished it on his own.
I read "The Hobbit" as a teenager, and managed to like that one okay, but just couldn't get past the writing style of LOTR. I finally managed to start it over again when the film came out, and loved it. I guess I wasn't appreciating the prose-like style he has. I wanted more explosions and blood.
My daughter, however, at the tender age of 12, read all of Tolkein's stuff, along with the complete works of Lewis Carroll and Douglas Adams. I probably should have had her explain it to me back then.
Plain english or not, make it easy for someone to debug and I'll be out of a job. I like finding other people's mistakes and being the one to say "Uh, dude, this is where you screwed up, but I fixed it for you".
Where's the fun if I can't point out someone's shortcomings?
At least someone was paying attention. I had hoped I could have pointed out the above, but sg3000 nailed it. Mace Windu also mentioned about the Sith having been extinct for a very long time. Sounds like the Jedi kicking the Sith's butts big time to me...leading up to Maul's revenge comment. So the title is perfect.
It's better than "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"...er...uh, I mean "Clones".
Well, it's all that sweat pouring off his forehead that turns us off. We prefer the kind of sweat involved with sex, not bright lights. Unless it's a porno in the making...

Sorry, just being a girl...you know, all that sensitive crap we do...
SON?
I give up...*hangs head in abject shame*
...dangerous to the fabric of society and capitalism as a whole...
There goes the space/time continuum...too many toys for all the boys and the whole universe goes into flux.
Your point is well seen.
;)
Mistakes have been made, people will be blamed.
My sig is rather fitting, wouldn't you say?
Just what the hell is "prolly" supposed to be anyway?
Do you all need to be told that RHETORICAL means that I didn't NEED an explanation? (I know what it stands for, it just's a rhetorical question...)
Now I understand the shorthand...no one bothers to actually read ALL of what has been written!
I said it was a RHETORICAL question.

...and suddenly, I have fans...
You should see the thong he got to keep...told you I appreciate my SysAdmins...
That's what my sig refers to.
It seems like all the men I date are SysAdmins. So to say that I appreiciate them would be a gross understatement.

I'll say...Phatooine.com sure didn't hold up well the day it was slashdotted. And we are a SW site!
That I just can't seem to find my old GB's or my GBA (I hate moving). Now I can buy something else to lose.
At least my Xbox is too big to get lost that easily...
So is KOTOR gonna be on that thing? Or maybe Panzer Dragoon...

Okay, I can't stop laughing at that one...that's flipping hiliarious!!!
I did mention making porno films earlier...
