Sort of. Redhat Enterprise at least has a lot of non-Free software, so they'd have to leave that out unless they paid for it. The GPL stuff, yeah, no problem, but that basically makes it Fedora.
Same here. The way they lock you out of any non-approved apps is shit, but the top criteria is the service and I've never seen one with more coverage or better data service than Verizon. I wish like hell there was another provider on that level (other than Sprint, man they're worthless) that gave you or even let you use open phones, but ah well.
OK, Metal Gear Solid and Tekken 5 are awesome. I play them both all the time. Gran Turismo will be incredible (if it ever comes out). Final Fantasy I and II are coming out this month and next.
Right, but they were (hopefully) using that time to flirt with you, not just hang around like a stump. You don't have to, and shouldn't, pay attention to much of anything else.
Lesson: If someone is interested, they will do overt, flirty things, unless they're a shy and insecure mess, which you want nothing to do with even if you're one too. Ordering the same type of soft drink is not a declaration of love.
I know it's nothing more than syntactic sugar, but making a temp variable, worrying about scope and naming clashes, messing up your code, having to pull stuff out or put stuff into a for loop, and all the other million ways it comes in handy says you're cutting off your nose to spite your face. I have to reiterate: if this is too complicated for you, you shouldn't be writing C. Then, when we start to talk about C++, forget about it. Template magic, function and operator overloading, virtual functions, etc. are all way more complicated. For that matter, pointers in C is just one thing I can think of that's far more complicated than the difference between pre- and post-increment.
... if your C code requires you to know the difference between i++ and ++i, it is too complicated.
Advice on good comments--great--but really, it's just obvious. Anyone that doesn't get how to comment well doesn't want to comment well. And the above quote made me want to wring his neck. If you don't know the difference between those two operators, you should stick to VB.
With the amount of money that's saved, he could have a complete offline backup system. Go to SCSI and he could multi-host two systems, and have a third to implement an active/passive cluster, and it's STILL less than 1/4 of the cost.
When the Mustang was first designed, it was intended for the new professional women that were coming around. The younger ones, specifically mentioned were secretaries, with new money. So, it was a fairly inexpensive car, fast enough to be interesting, but proportioned (pedals, smaller seats, etc.) for women. Of course, it turned out to be a really good car, and all the marketing in the world didn't stop guys from buying it. Of course, with that, the car got muscled up, eventually got a V8, and I'm sure you know the rest.
I looked it up on Wikipedia but there's no mention of that, I remember I saw it on a Discovery Channel thing about the Mustang. Unfortunately what I've put here is about the limit of my knowledge so I can't update Wiki.
They're making a big mistake if they market it too hard toward women.
You really don't have to try that hard, chicks love laptops, and if it's thin, light, and looks decent, they'll snap them up by the dozen. The problem is, there's plenty of dudes out there that won't be able to handle that it's marketed toward women--never mind the 2 1/4lb weight, built-in bluetooth + wi-max + 802.11 + EVDO, and 14-hour battery life--if you buy it, you're gay.
Of course, the only thing they'd have to change is make another cover for it that looks like a wallet instead of a purse and not mention that it's "for women" (what, does it latch on the right or something? keyboard designed for a longer index finger? breast rests?) and they could sell to everyone. Then again, I imagine it'll end up like the Mustang.
Don't forget, the VM is useless without the hypervisor/player/whatever, so you need to check that in too. Of course, that's generally useless without the OS, so check that in too. Even if you have an OS/hypervisor, that's useless without the hardware, so you need to check that in too.
Or, rather than trying to figure out how to version control hardware, you could write portable code and use open standards, and not worry about all mess.
Chris, I used to think that I wanted to have kids someday, but the risk that I might end up with someone like you as the fruit of my loins terrifies me. I'd like to think that I'd raise them better than that, and that they'd #1 - not parrot "facts" they heard from "everybody" so that they never have to deal with a jerk like me, and #2 - know how to deal with a jerk like me--but most likely, I'd end up raising a mouth-breathing illiterate who cries himself to sleep every night because daddy doesn't even seem to recognize him when he drinks, and mommy, even though she still walks around and sometimes even talks, left a long time ago.

Burning karma by top-posting and not turning off the bonus, but it's worth it to ruin the jokes that are sure to come by simply saying:
Diapers.
There, now you can mod all those posts (and this one too, just wait a few hours please) redundant.
Whatever you do, don't learn Irish, French, Spanish, German, or for the love of all that is holy, Japanese.

Jesus, you people are ridiculous.

Somebody has to mod this up.
First off, it's not a side-effect. It's intended.
I know it's nothing more than syntactic sugar, but making a temp variable, worrying about scope and naming clashes, messing up your code, having to pull stuff out or put stuff into a for loop, and all the other million ways it comes in handy says you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Really? Having money taken out of your paycheck before you ever get it isn't analogous to that? How so?
Wrong.

Also, the elephant population is on the rise.
I said the same thing when I got my first tapeworm.
Don't forget some necessary programming techniques only available in TAoCP volume 4.

Yeah! They're like short elves with round ears.
No, it should have been, "early, in the late 1910s." See how the comma completely changed the meaning? That's what editors do.
Those aren't real.

Man, let's hope so, I'm sick of getting fucked by them.

Exactly.
Well, that, and pay for it.
