99% of your taxes well spent? With Paul Martin? I'd rather say 85-90% max. Don't forget the billion wasted firearms program, the 250 millions for the sponsorship program going in deep pockets.
But well, Canada is not a bad country. I guess that a higher percentage of american taxes go into deep pockets (like halliburton...)
Oh wait, web developer DOES work. I thought it wouldn't work because I had a warning that Web developer doesn't work with the new version... But having tried is quickly, it works!
That is strange, I was under the impression that/. crows was a rightist crowd. Anyhow, this crowd is definately not leftist enough for me. BTW, Kerry is hardly to the left. He's just not extreme right like bush. If you want to see some real leftists, take a look at Canada's poiticians.
That's what I think too. I mean, there are an infinite number of strings with the same MD5 sum than 'foobar' MD5 sum, however, most of these strings don't make sense (and most of them must be insanely long). And a binary trojan certainly isn't a part of those strings.
Mrs. Ruth Wakefield. Why ? Because she only sold 1 freaking receipt for all the R&D she invested in it. Now, Nestle's happily selling chocolate, but Mrs. Ruth Wakefield has income trouble.
And that is also what I think about OSS. I have nothing against OSS. However, I think that a business model based on OSS *has* to release poorly documented software or bad UI or anything that will require support. If OSS had a super good UI that allowed any grandma to use it without any trouble, how the heck could any OSS business make money on support?
However, a lot of closed source software business have free e-mail/tel support. It is in *their* interest to make their software easy to use and well documented.
I'm not bashing OSS, I'm saying that IMHO, the OSS business model is flawed if it means that the business revenues come from support. (Of course, there are OSS business models where OSS is fine, like if the revenues come from hardware.)
Of course, cool for making little 2 lines feats that wows the guys around. Anyway, the cheerful paint program is the first thing they learn you to produce with VB. But try to make a big project then. Your 2 cute lines of code turn into an ugly mess. Before VB.NET (which is a clone of C# with a different syntax from what I heard), you couldn't even make your own classes IIRC.
I guess that it is possible to create good code with VB. The only thing is that as soon as a programmer's skills become decent, the first thing that programmer does is to drop VB, hence the poor VB code quality...
What a near sighted comment. This was an analogy, trying to illustrate how americans have trouble to understand a concept that is beyond them. Obviouly, the concept of analogy is also beyond a couple of americans too...
I only played the 24 hours they gave a couple of months ago, and that is quite the impressions I got.
I think that the game basics are *very* interesting. The graphics are not so bad, I think that it is the interface that could be improved, namely character control and inventory management (that's the 2 things I remember that didn't impress me).
Well, in fact, probably that if I played that game when I wasn't soo busy in my life with other things, I would still play. The grinding didn't bother me that much. As another/.er said, the tech advances you get later lets you avoid that grinding, and since you grinded before, it makes you appreciate that tech even more:) . And the grinding in this game have something... zen. Unlike other games, you're not really grinding for XPs, you're actually *want* the item you're crafting, not the XPs associated with it, and I like that.
In 2nd fact:), if I wasn't in process of giving NWN RP side a second chance, I would probably be trying the beta. (I'm not a student anymore. I don't have 20 hours a week to give to games...)
Is it really? I'm Canadian, but also Quebecer. My main language is french. Now I gotta try to understand the subtle difference between color and colour...
This is how totalitarian states start: By disabling the others' ability to give their opinion.
I don't like Bush, I know (it is an opinion. I have no facts to offer) that he and his administration did quite anti-democratic things. However, I strongly condemn the hackers actions.
Besides, why block what Bush has to say? He'll probably say stupid things:)

And if you want to view SVG files with firefox, just install the adobe viewer, and copy the dlls in the plugin dir of firefox. it works here.

Or move to Canada. It is a much less "cold and nasty" world here. Well, compared to Texas, it's paradise.
Oh wait, web developer DOES work. I thought it wouldn't work because I had a warning that Web developer doesn't work with the new version... But having tried is quickly, it works!
Which means: Only Yays for Firefox 1.0!
Yay! The bug annoying me the most is apparently fixed. (Well, A quick tried showed that it works for me...)
Boo, The web developer extension doesn't work anymore :( .
Nevertheless, mozilla/firefox team: you rule.

when they announce that Bush has won the elections? How can we be sure that *any* information is true?
And most players stop working after you disconnect the power cord for a while...

Hence "puke"
If Longhorn has the feature to remove the puke yellow color from the IT section, I'll sure buy it!
/. change that!
Cmon

You could have issued a chargeback to you credit card. It would have costed you much less (nothing in fact) than a lawyer letter.

Are you saying that VB is cool? I would consider this language as one of the most un-cool language ever.
That is called typecasting no? I guess that Java has it. Even if a language is strong typed, it doesn't mean that you can't typecast.

I consider Delphi as a strong typed (and *cool*

Wow. I like your "1,2,many" comparison. I think you hit the right spot there. I wish I had mod points.

In 2nd fact
Is it really? I'm Canadian, but also Quebecer. My main language is french. Now I gotta try to understand the subtle difference between color and colour...
Here in Canada, we consider this color as "puke yellow", not "IT color". What a geographical mistake!
I will not stop until the color changes!
If I was american, I would probably prefer a war criminal to a deserter. (and liar)

It is a good reason not to advertise with Overture... Advertising with them is a good way to make yourself a bad name.
