Have you ever seen Cry_Wolf? It wasn't that great of a movie, but it proved a point. Once you're a liar, no one will ever believe you. And when everyone is a liar, you can't believe anybody.
Actually, this kind of crap goes away when you stop using NULL terminated strings and put in size checks.
Start using a BSTR or std::string or christ, even CString.
If you're going to use a char * as a string, stop using strcpy/strcat/sprintf/strfindthelawngnome and start using strncpy/strncat/snprintf/strfoundthelawngnome
If you have to pass a char * as a parameter of some function, also add a parameter that indicates the size of the memory (EX: 'bool IsStringSexy(char *mystring, ULONG mystringlen)')
Don't rely that a setting read from some arbitrary place (registry, file) is undeniably correct to laying out structures of memory [LOOKING AT YOU IE AND FIREFOX AND WORD AND EVERY OTHER APP THAT CRASHED DUE TO A MALFORMED DOCUMENT]
Sure. Most people see this kind of stuff as oppresive, and ultimately "evil" or "bad". But there is something to be said about having a heavy hand ruling. Just take a look at china and you'll see a lot of the same practices. You will also see a nation advancing at the speed of light compared to its "democracy" counterparts. There is no bureaucracy to get in the way.
Microsoft is scared of virtualization. All of a sudden, there is no longer a requirement to have Microsoft software driving your real hardware. Especially with Parrallels able to run Windows Apps on your desktop without even looking at a Virtual Machine window, MS, I'm sure, can feel it all slipping away.
Well, I can't give you a concrete answer, but I can put it into perspective a little better. See, here in the US, gas went up due to the war a LITTLE, but not to the extent that Hurricane Katrina caused. Gas prices skyrocketed because supply was short. Though as production increased, the prices of the gas didn't decrease in ratio. So now we are at productivity, gas is still much higher than it would have been without the disaster. See, they couldn't gouge directly, but they had reason to increase the prices, but no inclination to decrease them.
My personal favorite is to find a picture of a sexed up 16 year old (or looks that way anyway), impose the phone number (or even better, work phone number) of the hated person on it, then upload it to hotornot.com, myspace.com, as the first 5 seconds of a film uploaded to beasttube.com, etc.
Let's just start a big campaign to email RIAA members songs to the execs of the RIAA. After a few million from domains/users that don't even exist, that should exaust a lot of their time/money. They'll never see it coming.
Let us take for example the sentence "Who learned you ta spoke?". Completely atrocious. But you knew what they were saying, right? So what's the problem? I think it is pretty evident.
Would you feel comfortable if a C/C++ programmer said "I found the command 'atan2' that does what I need."? I hope to god not. What about a Unix admin that told you "I cleaned up all of they system folders of unneeded junk"? Just as bad as someone saying "I program in Assembler"
my friend gave me brass monkey and 1 other song on a 3.5 inch disk. I thought the quality couldn't get any better
For the love of god... were talking the days of a 286... which pretty much means that your recording of Brass Monkey came from someone using the mic on their computer to record the playback of a CASSETTE TAPE. To a.wav. At a horribly low bitrate. Enough to fit it on a floppy. There is no way that you could have listened to that and thought it was good... unless you have no ears.
I have a different, but equally frustrating issue with my Creative sound card and Vista... Volume Control doesn't work... at all. Sliders do nothing, along with the "mute" checkbox.
I was flabbergasted to find that bathing with Axe body didn't bring in the babes. I even told them they love me. But I guess I got a bad batch or something because they just ran away. Fast.
To quote the first paragraph: In the American music industry, the practice of record companies paying money for the broadcast of records on music radio is called payola, if the song is presented as being part of the normal day's broadcast. The practice is illegal in the U.S.

All he says about Microsoft is that they make some "great applications". I can only assume he's talking about Office, or Visio or something.
More like Visual Studio

Now all we need is something that can trap more girls and well be set!

DO you know why you only have "good" karma and only get a "1" score on your initial post? It is because your post was more pointless than a beach ball

You think it's an accident that they picked the state with the lowest high school graduation rate in the country? Hello, welcome to Walmart.

If Bugmenot taught me one thing, is there is always the asshole who changes the password as soon as they log in.

Wait till you accidentally forget to renew your domain. Each one is held hostage by an $89 "Redemption" fee.
My connection to Halliburton is going to Iraq. No more $100/hour for fixing their Excel/Word macros
It has been quite a while since you have been able to piece together a system for cheaper than a prebuilt one.

Ordinary radio stations are expected to play [only] the songs they've received incentive pay or broadcasting discounts to promote.
Thy shouldn't be. See Payola
