Every site gets its own address. Not only do I not get spammed, but I know where it's coming from. I started it out expecting to catch some "reputable" site selling my e-mail address, but you know what? Most sites out there are very careful with your address, and take you off their list as soon as you tell them to. The only addresses I've had to delete are for porn sites.
Diskeeper, however... fuck those guys. Seriously, it's a shitty defrag program, why in the HELL do I need 4 messages about it (minimum!) a week?
I had a factory job soldering components on circuit boards for laser sights that fit in the receiver of pistols (damn cool, the dot came on when you turned off the safety but you'd never know it had a laser sight just by looking at it), and we had to sit down.
Funny, I can spend my day writing a well-architected C++ OS library and then go out and bag the cute checkout girl. I must be superhuman or something. Or maybe you're just wrong. Go spend some time at a bar (learn to deal with shady assholes, identify good people, and have fun at the same time), get friends that know nothing about computers (learn to talk about something else), and a girlfriend that likes making you hang out with her family (learn to avoid touchy subjects and make people enjoy hanging out with you even when you'd rather be just about anywhere else). Learn by doing, those three things will teach you fast.
Of course, I still try to not interact with anyone for a while if I've been marathon coding. For about 20 minutes after, I'm a little off.
Your problem exists because I'm still cleaning up the mess the kid right out of college made of our network. I would have never believed a tiny 100-ish person 20 server network could be so screwed up. Get your colleges to stop graduating people who don't know what they're doing and this problem will go away.
I love the dualism on Slashdot. First it's, "Windows is finally getting a fancy UI like OSX and Linux! Geez, took the copycats long enough!" The next day the same people crow, "Stupid XP and Vista GUI uses too many resources! I'm sticking with NT 4!"
Man, I know! It's like there's more than one person on this site, and they have different opinions! Next thing you know, someone will have one opinion, and then later receive new information and change their opinion based on said information they didn't have when they formed their original opinion or possibly even change it based on personal growth alone! What the hell?!
Hell yes! I removed all that crap and compiled my DNA with -O4 -funfold-proteins -march=ubermensch and now I can flip a VW bus with one hand and paint fences with my mind! w00t!
Your software is poorly written then. Dates should be stored in GMT and only converted to local time for display or interaction with other poorly written software. Of course, on Windows, that includes the OS, but failing to compensate for that is just cutting corners. Fix it!
The tests they run are for the metabolites, not THC itself, so there is no need to have residual THC in the system to fail a test. It can last a month, or for a particularly heavy smoker even more. Of course, some of the heaviest smokers are clear after a week or less, and someone who smokes once could test positive weeks later. It also takes a while for things to go through your system. I took a test high and passed. People are just different.
Pot smokers are also more prone to lie like 12-year-olds, for no good reason. I've heard the whole "flashback" BS more times than I care to think of. You don't get pot flashbacks, that's just ridiculous. They also tend to not be particularly familiar with the feeling of exertion, so there's at least two good explanations for claims of a buzz. You also don't really burn fat when you exercise unless you're an extremely fit marathon runner, and even then getting 50% of your energy from fat would be amazing. Us normals are lucky to get 10-20%.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's exceedingly unlikely. Maybe somehow a small amount of THC would get stored in fat, but certainly not enough to get a buzz from even if it was all released at once, which it's not. Not even close. There's a lot of stupid urban myths about drugs, and those courses are often a collection of myths reminiscent of voodoo.
No, THC is not stored in your fat cells, the metabolites for it are. That is, the stuff THC turns into after it is metabolized, or used. That stuff doesn't get you high, and it doesn't "wean" you, any more than eating your own feces is just like that steak you had last week.
THC is not physiologically addictive. I smoke cigarettes, have quit for almost a year, and I know what addiction is. I spent 4 years of my life stoned basically 24-7. Then I got bored of it, and stopped. Since then, I've tolked up about once every 6 months or so, and never had a "craving" before or after. I even spent a week high because I hurt my hands and was bored as hell. At the end, I put the pipe down, no craving.
I have noticed, however, that for some people, smoking pot makes them flat stupid. I don't understand why it happens to some and not others, but it seems to attack those who weren't that bright to begin with, and as far as I can tell is permanent. Careful.
Yes! It's one of the reasons I simply ignore 90% of th IMs I get... which makes it fairly worthless. Why oh why is it so hard to read what you wrote and decide if the thought is complete before the text moves from the bottom box to the top?
What's wrong with your font that you can't see the difference between "I" and "l"? Just as bad is the one that makes "1" and "l" the same. Isn't a font's primary purpose to describe recognizable glyphs?
It should, but most people, smart or dumb, like to beat anyone down who looks like they might rise above them. This includes teachers, unfortunately, and equally unfortunately few parents are skilled or involved enough to counteract the beat-down. By the time most smart people leave school, they're practically trained to be subservient misfits, which doesn't go over too well at the alpha-heavy bar scene.
It's too bad, and if I ever have kids I hope I can guide them through that fight, but failing that if I can make just one geek understand that being smart is an advantage--and just as importantly--get them laid, I'll consider my life a success.

I had a factory job soldering components on circuit boards for laser sights that fit in the receiver of pistols (damn cool, the dot came on when you turned off the safety but you'd never know it had a laser sight just by looking at it), and we had to sit down.
I get your point though, I'm just being an ass.
Fixed it for you.
That's not a word.
It flows better this way, and I think it originally referred to sex instead of XML:
XML is like violence. If it's not solving your problem, just use more.
EH-EH-EH
We don't have enough lettuce for that. Just drop it.
Anyway.... Do you think this is going to work?
You'd have hostility issues too if you were always the bottom.
C'mooooooon ... c'moooooOOOn....
It just falls from my fingers, man.

So track subnets. How is this hard?

Go spend a month smoking a pack a day, or even better, booting heroin, and come back here and repeat that when you've quit.
