so what happens when people start to realize that they're getting boned? they start taking city busses? it'd be pretty damn funny to watch the government eat the bill for the roads once everyone decides that they don't want to be tracked via their cars.
actually, there are two "programs" to IE - IE.exe and EXPLORER.exe. IE.exe is all the web protocol bullshit and EXPLORER.exe is the local stuff. you can disable IE without disabling EXPLORER - try it!
what happens when you type a URL into an EXPLORER window is that IE launches and replaces your EXPLORER window. so really, IE7 could deactivate the old IE and/or replace the part where EXPLORER launches IE with code to launch IE7 instead.
pay no attention to the fact that i'm writing down all these techniques on bypassing our - i mean their security and finding ways to make our - i mean their censorship more difficult - i mean easy to get around. nevermind the fact that the people providing these services will all be dissapearing soon...
Tom: for a special one-time fee of $200, a group calling themselves the "Bandwagon of Stupidity" is offering to shoot you in the head. for all of you considering Microsoft's Outlook subscription, this might just be the deal you're looking for, right Diane?
Diane: right you are, Tom. i know several have "jumped on the Bandwagon", already.
what's the point of this database again? i can't see any (even illegitimate) use for this. there would be no information here that isn't easily obtainable elsewhere.
eh... typo... : $ maybe you've never spent 16 solid hours coding, but i'd certainly ask for $50k to do that on a regular basis.
this may be the lowesty unemployment rate of all time - i don't know that for certain. what i do know, however is that it's fucking hard to get a job right now. i also know that the unemplyment rate is next to meaningless. the unemployment rate only counts those people who are actively searching for jobs and don't have them as unemployed. how many people have said "fuck it" and are living on social security? from the looks of my hometown - a buttload. the unemployment rate also does not reflect those people who work "under the table". my brother worked at a german restraunt that payed him in cash ever day so they didn't have to have another employee on the books.
the point of all this? don't spout the unemployment rate as a way to summarize the job market - it's not a good representation.
are you implying that coding is an underpaid job? whereas ceo's have the right to abuse the people who work under them so that said ceo's can buy another mansion?
but you're right - there is nothing stopping you from quitting your job if you don't like it. there is, however, something keeping you from getting a new job and thus being able to pay your bills - this something is called a shitty economy. maybe you've heard of it?
the difference between working for a company that treats you like shit and not working at all is the difference between eating ramen for dinner and not eating dinner - or perhaps this will get across better - it's also the difference between being able to browse the 'net (ie read slashdot) and sitting in the dark in front of a cardboard box.
where did the article say he was not doing work? from what i read, he was doing his work plus some. sounds worthy of a 6-digit salary to me. and no, managment doesn't *need* to consult a programmer before relocating him/her, but it's a nice formality to say "hey - we're moving you from project x to project y. we know you liked project x but we really need you on project y right now."
maybe i should be pre-emptively fired for having a working brain.
i want to know who gave the go-ahead to movies like mr 3000, taxi (along with any movie queen latifah has ever been in) and soul plane?
maybe the reason that movies like mr 3000 don't too so well are because they aren't good. i know i certainly don't want to see such a sorry excuse for a movie - unless it's to mst3k it. even then i'm not sure i could stomach such shlock.
bono put it best when he was talking about tape recorders and the music industry: "tape recorders aren't killing the music industry - bad music is killing the music industry". with a bit of adjustment, this applies just as easily to the movie industry: "copyright infringment isn't killing the movie industry - bad movies are killing the movie industry"
so, a full-page add with the names of all the donors. how do they expect to have anything on that page but people's names? maybe that's what they have in mind, but i would hope for something a little better than
if i bought an expensive computer to get away from all the hassle that goes with microsoft windows, would i instead of using the clean, polished mac os x, use windows?
would it be possible to spoof these and report a fake i.d. a la bugmenot? that way anyone randomly scanning you w/o your permission would get a rediculous i.d. like elvis presly or mother teresea, and anyone who legitimately needed your i.d. could get your actual i.d. when you handed them the true liscence. ...?
let's brand everybody while we're at it! i'm not talking about something small and hide-able. no, buddy. i mean something huge. preferably on the arms, face and back.
"what about people who wear masks or long sleeved shirts?" you ask? the only answer here is radioactive chemicals. they'll bind to your body, glowing (at first) and burning (after a bit) through clothing.
this way, everyone will be easily identifiable.

Diane: right you are, Tom. i know several have "jumped on the Bandwagon", already.
Tom: nice contribution, Diane.
Diane: and you're a piece of trash, Tom.
i find your lack of faith disturbing. how can a community of self-professed nerds *not* care about holograms?
this sounds to me like a combination of the bittorrent system with the built-in searchability of p2p networks. am i getting this right?

so slashdot is reporting on itself now?
no thanks - i'll stick to open-source goodness.
penny-arcade + porn = ?

nonetheless, it should be interesting to see...

under the induce act, wouldn't this hold balmer liable for inducing his customers to steal music?
obviously the blowjob is a bigger problem - think of the children!!!11!eleventy-one!
