I call bullshit on you, sir. While I agree that these things are not the ultimate solution, crying that it is unfair is rediculous in itself.
If you don't want to perticipate, then don't. As time goes on, you evolve or die. You don't hear anyone bitching that the average webserver nowadays has to be like 500mhz AT LEAST, with multitude of ram, etc, when at some point inhistory, a 486DX was plenty sufficient for serving webpages. But the climate changed.
You couldn't do that. You would be building a ripe list of email addresses in which YOU KNOW there is a recipient on the other side. That list, like everything else, would make its way to the internet, and abused by those in other countries.
There has to be a paper trail of liability with such a list. Else, the people who choose to ignore the repercussions of the FTC would get the list as a device of WHO to call. Free calling list of number that you know have people on the other side.
I agree... lifting that with your delts is pretty easy. I personally, from doing this for a few years, can almost double what you can... but I cant hold it more then 5 seconds. Apparently this kid can for quite a while longer.
Notice the Atkins diet REALLY only took off after Dr Atkins cracked his head opened and died. I would have to say, thats when whoever in charge started REALLY commercializing it. Most people will try anything to lose weight, while putting forth little effort.
Dr Atkins developed the diet as an ALTERNATIVE to conventional dieting... in that some people can't lose weight by cutting fat/calories or doing more excersize. A lot of his patients had real life threatening weight problems... not a small pudge around their bottom two abs.
This kid is holding it outright. That means he was pretty much using only his deltoids (shoulder muscles at the top of your arms). Lifting your bike, or lifting the hood of your car will use all sorts of arm back, and even leg muscles.
You are kidding right? In the meantime, if we shackle them to their chairs, they are less likely to wander around aimlessly!
You take away SIMPLE freedoms, like the ability to put up a picture of your wife (or whoever) on your desk, or not have a dressdown friday, you may as well run a McDonalds, because your turnover rate will be just as high, and the aggression/depression/general lack of moral will show up in their work, and ultimately your profit
Pretty bold troll. Especially when you seem to be the misinformed one.
Microsoft HAD LOTS to do with OS/2. They just so happen to be making a competeing product along side it. DOn't you remember Microsoft's OS/2? IBM's OS/2? WinOS2? Oh yeah... you know what Microsofts OS/2 version 3 got renamed too? Windows NT:|
Even a little googling can prove you retarded. Please drive through.
This guy actually contacted me VIA ICQ, during WORK, crying, because I tore down his wonderful Delphi. Enjoy.
25706723: So you were the one who wrote those mindless comments on slashdot about Delphi vs VB?
MindChild: Nothing about it was mindless
MindChild: but of course
25706723: I beg to differ, i think it was an utter waste of time from somebody who doesn't know jack shit about it.....
MindChild: Obviously
MindChild: Because I gave my backed up, useful retort
25706723: yepper, there you have it....
MindChild: and you seek me out on ICQ?
25706723: obviuously i must have too much spare time...
25706723: Although you shouldn't think so...
MindChild: **I** have too much free time
MindChild: and you are "trying" to troll me on ICQ during work hours
MindChild: I think someone needs some pespective
25706723: Yeah its a waste of time as i said before i shouldn't get carried away every time a little loud mouth script kiddie writes some bullshit which he doesn't know the first thing about.
MindChild: To put your mind at ease, where I work, we are FORCED to use nothing but Borland development tools.
MindChild: Sorry that everyone that disagrees with you is a "kiddie"
MindChild: I mean, OBVIOUSLY I dont know what I am talking about
I did not state that QuickBasic or VB "required" line numbers. I stated that MS added the ability to use line numbers as part of the transition from Pascal to QuickBasic.
BZZZZZZZZZZZZT. Wrong. Now take 3 seconds out of your life... wouldn't you think... LOGICALLY... that line numbers would be supported as backward compatibility to GWBasic? I think so. As a matter of fact, I have seen several schools teach Qbasic classes, using GWBasic text books... see where this goes, and your bullshit doesnt?
When I first encountered QuickBasic, I already knew BASIC, Pascal, and C. I could replace the keywords in my Pascal programs and then do minor debugging to have functional QuickBasic programs. The API for VB has grown since then, but it still looks like Pascal with different keywords.
You mean like StrLen? C had to have RIPPED THAT OFF TOO! Oh, let me illustrate how much they are the same:
If You = Retarded Then
Print "Retard"
Else
Print "Still Retarded"
End If
vs.
If You = Retarded Then
Begin
writeln('Retard');
End Else Begin
writeln('Still Retarded');
End
Yep.... identical all right *ugh*.
It was a smart move for MS. Most college grads were learning Pascal, and the transition to developing in the MS-proprietary language was easy since few of the rules were different
Do you even live in the same universe as the rest of us?
Today I work with Java and LotusScript with Domino because it is allows much faster business application development than any other platform. LotusScript was based on VB, and still looks similar: same keywords, different API, and it has the List variable type. I also use Java for applets, servlets, and server applications; and one of my Java projects will require a GUI-based client, although I have not written it yet. (I prefer Java over C/C++ because the native memory management saves development and QA time.) I have never developed with Delphi, although several friends are good with it, and their code looks like super-charged Pascal.
Ok, thanks for clearing up why you are completely unqualified to even exist.
Also, it looks like Super Charged pascal, because its simple Object Pascal.
That is Cliff Clavin bullshittery right there. Visual Basic 1.0 for DOS was PDS (QBasic package) with form, button, etc objects. You COULD use it as your Qbasic environment... from there it got a windows port... and up until VB 6, even microsoft ADMITS to (search the MSDN) still using legacy Qbasic code in there.
Qbasic NEVER NEEDED line numbers... that was GWBasic, halfwhit. You COULD use line numbers, if you wanted too... hell, you STILL CAN in VB.
I trust you work for Borland... that, or you are one of the poor suckers too stupid to REALLY understand anything but Delphi, and even then the concepts past their VCL/CLX boggle you. Never in my life have I read such completely made up crap
While the goal is noble, the result wont be what you think. These free-for-alls to get things like drivers written for money, honestly, doesn't have much real ground for success. Think about it. 10 developers start throwing a whole mess of their own free time into trying to get driver x done for y money. 9 of them will NOT get the money. Depending on the work that they put into it, chances are they will come to the conclusion that it isn't worth the effort, because not only is there no guarentee of a payoff, you will never KNOW the odds you are up against to be the one to get paid in the first place. This certainly keeps people from taking on this model as a means of making a living, and most people doing it in spare time will find it a waste.
The networking in BeOS 5 was completely broken on so many levels... and the Be people knew it. Thats why you can find the "unofficial" Bone upgrade for it floating around the net, and why Bone is the networking in Zeta.
To be quite honest, people SAY they understand that "Linux" is a kernel, but getting them to aknowledge that they systems they use are REALLY a GNU/Linux package is like trying to cook an empty glass jar. They REALLY DONT make the seperation, and think that the "GNU/Linux" term was invented to suppress some sort of uprising that exists as the "Linux community".
I personally dont feel Unix on a desktop, in the form of GNU/Linux will EVER appeal to a desktop, average joe, home user. That will come when someone actually takes the Linux kernel and actually makes something ELSE from it.
While I agree with what you are saying, your last line struck a nerve. The term "wrong" is relative from person to person. The law tries to become a general middle ground of the publics idea of what "wrong" is. But over time this definition changes, and things that you take pride in might be "ok" today, but who KNOWS when a time comes along when that one thing you enjoy becomes illegal... then what? When they come find you, you can tell me then what I have to fear "if Ive done nothing wrong"
Rediculous. The POINT of hyperthreading is to LOOK like 2 CPUs... be USED like 2 physical CPUs. The operating system SHOULD NOT even CARE whether its hyperthreaded single cpu or, in fact, 2 CPUs. Then you would be defeating the point (except for the per-cpu licensing, which I feel is silly anyway).

it's Feng Shui graffiti
That "horrible salsbury steak right out of a $2 TV dinner" is one of my favorite foods... more so then the other meet you listed
Maybe it is due to the fact that he is DEAD. He CANT be the voice of ANYTHING anymore.
Or, you might remember that he married a psycho woman, who shot him in the head.
