Les Miserables, for instance, has either five or six "books," but AFAIK it has always been packaged in one volume (often abridged -- that thing is massive). Never mind the many "books" of the Bible, which is itself one book.
Actually, it was published in 10 parts according to the foreword in my Swedish edition from 1911, although later editions were shortened due to political statements that were outdated even back then. (My copy is shortened to five parts.)
Hrm. Sorry, just happened to have it at hand...
They said that it was the most secure Windows so far; are you disputing this?
Well... I think 1.0x, 2.x, 3.0 and 3.1 (a bit unsure about 3.1.1) was quite a bit more secure than the current OS...
I'd worry about the battery life if the wifi is on all the time, too...
Not to mention when someone figures out how to pwn the player via wifi... (Or how about flying with this for company?) No, I really hope that they make it off by default, both factory settings and on power on.
.. this dual core thing has got us stumped... we're figuring out how to slow things down with dual core.
Hey, if you had tested Vista, you would know that they've already figured this one out...
Hmm. And here I was under the impression that Bodström was on of the few somewhat competent ministers under Persson?
(Mostly from the impression he's made on SVT's morning shows.)
Or you just have half a brain and a few cheat sheets taped on your walls, it's not like CSS, HTML or JS needed huge multiple books references to just list the names of the values/attributes/whatever...
I really prefer having the cheat sheets attached in the editor, instead of to the wall, since I generally prefer look at my screen. And no, you don't need multiple books, but constantly swapping to HTMLHelp.com, javascript-reference.info, google, etc is still clumsier than an IDE.
Uh, no, you shouldn't, you should never use dreamweaver, and i'm not even going to talk about golive and frontpage here.
Did you maybe miss the in programmer mode part of that sentence, or did you just ignore it to associate it with other WYSIWYG editors?
So don't talk about golive or frontpage, try comparing it to Screem, Bluefish or Quanta Plus, which does offer a fairly good alternative. (On the *nix side. So far I've found Visual Studio to be a fairly good at editing HTML/JS/CSS.)
Real Men code html by hand, in a text editor
How come most "Real Men" are idiots? Seriously?
Yes, for a small pure HTML page (not using CSS or any large JS), a text editor where you can see what you're doing is nice.
But if you're trying to make larger pages, and constantly have to jump between docs and defs (just to look up what that entity is known by, which elements thats forbidden in XHTML Strict and Transitional and what the hell that CSS attribute is named) then you should use an IDE, like DreamWeaver in programmer mode.
And if you're building large sites, then you're far better off using a Framework (like Tapestry, Rails, or whichever you like and know).
Sure, write your templates in a text editor, but don't pretend it's the best solution everywhere.
Disclaimer: I prefer tools that lets me focus on the problem/s at hand, whether it's a design or algorithms, instead of the quirks in that particular environment.
Uhm, you mean "Blä" right?
"Bläk" just feels like someone is misspelling "Black" or "Bläck" (=ink).
Or is my Stockholmian brain just missing words used in the rest of the country?
SQL Server support team who said that it was not possible to set a value to NULL once it had been set to another value.
Well, with Enterprise Manager on SQL Server 2000 (I know. I'm trying to replace it with Derby/Cloudscape or Postgres), you just go to the value and press Ctrl+0. I have no idea how to do it from code, but judging how bizarre it is to SELECT NULL values, it's either extremely easy or bloody hard.
To claim that it's impossible is most probably a lie though.
And I also think he's wrong about: "An eye for an eye," says O.K., as he urinates onto the severed brain stems of the Eibel family victims, just as you do on the decapitated cops in the real video game Postal2.
If I remember correctly, you can urinate on whomever you want in Postal 2, not just decapitated cops, but game developers, hookers and even alive cops.
The thing that Jack has missed is that Postal 2 made it with a huge sense of humor and style. Sure it's gruesome, but it's quite funny for a while if you're into that kind of humor. (The type of person who appreciates Braindead and Troma movies.)
Jack's idea of game and satire is just... disgusting.

Of course it will, pity it won't make any change to your penis.
Install VMWare, Bochs, QEMU or any other PC emu. Install Windows ME. Grab a screenshot whenever it crashes. :)

Well, I still liked one ad I got at ./ on sysadmin appreciation day:
"Racism - starting at $1 / day." from the friendly folks at ebay...

Duh, Fruit Surgeon!
Yup, I just did 'emerge elephantsdream'. Should be ready in time for the sequel. ;)
Don't worry about it, the dupe will get it right. :D
Yeah, plus they sent over exe pictures of themselves so I could take a look! And now I get relevant picture ads as well!

Hmm. Can I still vote for Moderaterna?

How about writing 'google string' instead in FF?
(But thanks for telling me how to do it in opera. I've been wondering.
Yeah, just read ./ (or any regular news channel) for a few days/weeks and try not seeing death as a good alternative to human stupidity.
Yup, I can clearly see that here in Sweden. And the weird thing is that people generally sleep worse during the winter as well...
:)
(And a good friend of mine has described how depressed you get when you haven't seen daylight for 14 days. (He was coding, not gaming though...))
Good luck with the final.

Hmm... It's a building full of geeks. So I'd say the chances are quite good! ;)
My thoughts as well...

And searching for Stockholm (the capital of Sweden, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm) in Earth shows you Uppsala (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uppsala) instead.
I might be offended by that, but I prefer the comforting feeling that even google gets it wrong sometimes.
(This was the last time I checked, so it might be fixed, or get fixed when it's out of beta.)
