Don't you tell me what I can't have! Do you know who I am? I'll have you fired you insolent little puke! Now get your ass in the kitchen, and get me some fucking Kobe Kobe!

We never suspected that the heliosheath, the stars and deep space, all of it, was an illusion, caused by odd refractions at the edge of the bubble that we live in. As Voyager 1 approaches, and touches the threshold, it gives slightly, and then... *pop*
All of existence unravels, and turns inside out briefly before collapsing, the unlikely self-sustaining equation finally solving itself for x.
FAT, up to 16 GB. Maximum of 2048 files over, I think, 512 directories, with some maximum number of files in a directory that's less than 2048 I can't remember. Says it will descend into any level of nested folders, but at least for the SD card (which it says the same thing about), it will only descend 2 levels.
If you have the option, get it mounted in the center console. The glovebox is a pain in the ass--the cable is extremely stiff, and exactly the full length of the glovebox. Its connector does not latch into the iPhone though, so unless you're good at setting up a house of cards that can handle a ride on the highway, you'll need to get an iPhone extension cable (surprisingly tough to find, no stores carry them, you'll have to order online) if you want it to actually stay plugged in.
Also, if you give even the slightest fuck about sound quality, don't try playing music over Bluetooth. Beyond awful in this system--lows cut out around 50-60 Hz, I don't even know what happens to the highs, and it may be mono--which is too bad because the interface is pretty nice. Phone calls over it is great though.
I'm curious if those are still actually existent in >=5.0. I know I started avoiding MySQL in the bad old days, but from what I understand it's made a lot of strides in the conformance department.
I haven't bothered to look at it again since then, since Postgresql meets all of my needs, but I am curious. It can't still be that bad, can it? I can see all the bad old behavior being hidden behind default for legacy users, that's reasonable, but silent data corruption (and whether you're truncating strings or inventing dates when you hit NULL, you're corrupting data) doesn't seem like something people would put up with these days.
That is pure bullshit, driving too slowly and over-cautiously can cause accidents just as much as speeding and recklessness.
No, they definitely don't. They cause people driving recklessly to cause accidents, which is not at all the same thing. A person driving safely will not have an issue with someone else driving safely, but slower. Feel free to break out the tired old highway scenario, I'm ready for it.
Or maybe the difficult tasks we accomplish are getting more and more intangible, and it's human nature to doubt what you can't see or imagine.
You can go up and touch the Hoover Dam.
You can at least look at the moon, although people don't really have much concept of the distances involved, and most people don't even know someone who was in outer space.
To understand the Y2K bug, you practically need to have a theory of mind for computers, and understand that things that are extremely simple for a person--reasoning the century of a 2-digit date from context, not having an aneurysm when you encounter 4 digits where you were expecting 2--are practically impossible for a computer, which has no concept of context as we understand it, or any concepts at all, really.
People have a very hard time shaking the idea that the computer can think. Next time you hear someone complain about some bug, or (especially) missing feature, really pay attention to what they're saying. 9 out of 10 times, you'll hear some variation of, "Come on! How hard is it to... ?" where the answer is "it's not hard at all for a person to do it" and "it's very very very hard for a person to make a computer do it".
Firefox certainly does some puzzling things though. For the NTLM example, the main (valid) complaint was that older versions of Windows, or current versions configured a certain way, would send insecure hashes of your credentials. But, since the browser is running on your operating system, I imagine it's fairly easy to tell whether it's configured that way or not (at worst requiring administrator access, which could be handled by an elevated stub program).
But, for all the Windows-specific things they do, they seem to draw arbitrary lines in the name of portability. I guess the real answer is, it takes a strong personality to do what they did, and that original strong, acerbic personality is still alive in the organization in some way or another. It is getting better though, if at a glacial pace, as evidenced by their adding of non-fqdn whitelisting.
Yes, and that's mostly because Firefox developers steadfastly refuse to add integrated domain authentication, which a lot of corporations use for their intranet access.
It's implemented, just not enabled by default.
Go to about:config -> search for "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris" -> add the domain. You can set it to a second-level domain, and anything underneath that works as well. And as of FF 14, you can set "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-non-fqdn" and "network.negotiate-auth.allow-non-fqdn" to true, to allow it to work with anything that doesn't have a dot in it.
Not trying to argue your point, because the rest is both accurate and valid if a little over-strenuous (although I doubt IE would be dead even if FF supported every single one of its features, corporate inertia can be very strong), just trying to inform about something that seems to be a frustration for you.
As a web developer, I care. And as as user, you should care.
Not because you should use IE. Use what you like, that's what makes standards with multiple implementations great. But there are tons of things that simply aren't done because browsers don't provide the necessary infrastructure, or because it'd be extremely difficult. Like it or not, as a major browser, IE dictates a lot of what happens on the web, even if you don't personally use it.
IE better supporting standards means those standards are more likely to be used, which means that your standards-supporting browser will work better, faster, and take less development time. For the browser developers, not having to implement work arounds for web pages that work around IE bugs means more time can be spent on new features, so your own preferred browser gets better, faster. Web pages take less time to create, so they're better, and us developers can work on more interesting things than working around some weird focus bug. Maybe the Slashdot developers will even have time to implement UTF-8 support so we can all post Zalgo and smilies that accurately depict our feelings.
Sample size? What sample size? From the TFA, the guy said "hey, being a hunter-gatherer is harder. QED, Greeks were smarter." No sample of anything whatsoever involved.
Not to mention that conversational writing was practically nonexistent, only the educated classes wrote at all, and modern authors looking for an air of sophistication intentionally copy archaic styles, leading to a self-reinforcing association.
If the affair is all there is to it, then he did it right. Confess, so they can't blackmail you this time. And because now you know you're the type of person to get into that situation (I mean hey, you always knew it, but now you can't lie to yourself anymore), get out, so they can't blackmail you next time.
But you can't take it back, not ever, not for most things you do or say. Life's funny like that. Now that you've proven yourself the kind of person who can handle a situation like this the right way, you'll never be in it again. The best you can hope for is to walk away with a sliver (a tiny sliver) of dignity, and that's more than most people get.
You always wonder if posts like these come from real former-military, or just some guy who wants to rant.
kiss ass, suck dick, stroke the shaft, gurgle the gravy and ask for seconds.
Yep, he's the real deal. There's just this certain rhythm to military dick jokes, and they'll look you hard in the eye and tell you to perform the most shockingly homosexual acts, on them, that you could imagine of in an absolutely shameless way that Perez Hilton couldn't match on his best day.
