Nope that wouldn't work -- at least for me.
If my employer finds out that I am reading up on current patents and their claims (patents in my company's field), I will get in trouble. We're not suppose to look up current patents on anything we do. In the event of the lawsuit if it can be proven we knew of the patent it would be a whole lot worse.
I just openned a BofA account in California two weeks ago, as I am working here for the next couples months. I am canadian and the one thing that surprises me is how many companies here ask for my social security number. For example my appartment, my bank, my cable company, my cell phone company, etc. Was planning on giving BofA my number once I recieved my SSN card, which will be in around a week. My question however is, why does the bank even need it? Wouldn't the only company I would have to give my SSN to is my employer?
I don't see it....and the argument given "Well, it is in the governments interest to encourage people to have kids which will be future tax payers". I call BS on that...people will fuck and have kids no matter if they get a tax break or not. I cannot imagine the conversation has ever come up, "Hey Marge, lets have another kids...need that extra deduction..."
Well, I have seen it make a difference, my parents who were not particularly had five kids, and I know those deductions probably helped them out. I have seen people not have more then two children simply because they could not afford to, which is just sad, lack of money should not be a reason not to have children.
Indeed, when I pay good money for an education I expect I will at least be taught, not given an automated spit out mark. I find the majority of learning done by doing reports is the comments you get back from the prof.
SG1 only 1 or 2 time travel episodes before that episode. No clue, about how many enterprise had, because I only watched the first episodes, before I gave up on it, but I imagine it had more.
Anyways, SG1 was pretty disappointing in season 8, about half as good as previous seasons.
You have to be kidding, I have never heard of anyone in the tech industry having as bad as job as that? Where do you live?
Everyone I know from the tech industry (non-game development) works normally 8-9 hours a day.
The obvious reason for this is, IE 6 was released many years ago, and based off code released many years before that. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a couple hundred cumulative "issues" with IE. It is no surprise that there hasn't been as many issues recently with IE, if that is even the case. Without any new releases or feature updates, even IE could partially stabilize. However, once they realize new updates, with the new wizbang features there counts will rise once again. The lesson to take away from this, is even though no software can be perfectly secure, those designed with a sence of security in mind, will always outperform those without (for example activex & IE).
Access and bandwidth usage are two different things.
How hard is that to understand?
You have unlimited access to the roads you pay taxes for, but you are still limited by the speeds that are posted for those roads. However, cable companies deceptively advertise unlimited access, and never mention bandwidth limits. The customers have no clue on what the limits are on supposidely unlimited access. A scam a lot worse then what blockbuster has done.
I wasn't let down by halo because I knew exactly what it was going to be.
The fact that the majority of old vehicals and guns, were going to be in it, dual wheelding and having a sword were major selling points. That should of given it away. For some reason nothing about Halo 2 surprised me.
Was it still a pretty good game, yes. Was the game ground breaking, no. Should the game probably of been released as an expansion, sure.
"You don't consider the time spent downloading it waiting?! It' takes me about ten minutes to rip the DVD to my hard drive. Can you really download an entire movie in ten minutes?!"
Well, it only takes 10-20 seconds to find and start the download using bittorrent.
Well, if it is running windows, and somehow someone made a mistake and desided to run it on some mission critical system, they should reghost it as often as they can.
When I was 13-16 I had the ability to create viruses with the capabilities as any major virus. And I am sure many slashdotters also had/have these ability.
I actually thought about releasing some viruses, well trojans, would not of done anything on the massive scale as some of this virus, I was not that stupid. Hell, I could actually be in jail now and life screwed up over something like that.
Exploiting windows machines has never be challenging has not been for the past decade. The fact that some kid could wreck their life over a couple lines of VB code is kind of sad. I think it was genius on microsoft's part to get people to want hunt and track down those evil virus kiddies.
It would be easier to create a destructive virus then it would be to rob a couple bags of chips from a store for most kids that create viruses. One might get you a slap on the rist (I am not sure how much you get in trouple for stealing couple dollars worth of food), and the other could get landing in jail and millions of dollars worth of damages.
I honestly do not think for most of these kids the punshiments should be that extreme especially since most of those kids probably only copied and pasted some code, or changed a few lines of code. The punishment should fit the crime, if you can cause millions of dollars worth of damages in under and hours worth of work, then something is not right. I do not see any other way of doing something that bad on a massive scale other then blowing up a building or running around with a gun.
I just hope these kids still get a chance to have a life, and they are only held partially responsible. If someone built a bridge that could be destroyed by walking over and pulling out a nail, and the hole thing would come down. There would be two people to blame. The designer and the person that actually did it. Lets just hope its handled carefully in this case.
I had the opportunity to test one of these out, what surprised me was how good the predictive text actually was. I am going to be ditching my current BB for one of these as soon as I can manage.
This is the first one I think that I actually like the look for, I just hope with that nice LCD there is some good games for it.
The public source code is mainly just headers with a bunch of.lib files(precompiled c files) and unrealscript files thrown in.
So the orginal post was correct when he said it was not the full source.

Why is it immoral to download music? I pay for it when ever I purchase blank CDs, if they don't like it then stop taking my money when I buy blanks.
The only thing immoral is stealing my money when I buy blanks.
Indeed, when I pay good money for an education I expect I will at least be taught, not given an automated spit out mark. I find the majority of learning done by doing reports is the comments you get back from the prof.
No shit,
Saying Microsoft would pull out of Europe, other then in jest, has to the most stupid thing to say.

I think you ment the following:

Wow, this is exactly what I think when ever I read these "who implemented tabs first" arguements. Nice to see that someone else is on the ball.
I am assuming your post was in jest, cause what you listed basically agreed with the parent, that a few extra files makes little difference.
some people like to do MB=1000 and MiB=1024

I'm a Canadian and this is bad news. I would prefer NOT to have a levy on my mp3 player or any other device/recordable media.
There is no reason why I should be forced to pay for music everytime I buy a CD-R. I should not have to help pay for someone elses music.
"You don't consider the time spent downloading it waiting?! It' takes me about ten minutes to rip the DVD to my hard drive. Can you really download an entire movie in ten minutes?!"
Well, it only takes 10-20 seconds to find and start the download using bittorrent.
10-20 secs / movie, really is not that much work.
No one argues that.
They argue that if the closed source software has stolen code the vendor would be to blame, not the end user.
I was just pointing out that some programmers are above average, and some are not. Nothing about being a total genious.
Just because you program does not make you magically smarter then anyone else.
I know a couple programmers, like me, that were top or in the top 5 of their graduating class of their highschool, that are programmers.
There certainly are smart programmers, however a lot of programmer certainly are not all that smart.
Well, if it is running windows, and somehow someone made a mistake and desided to run it on some mission critical system, they should reghost it as often as they can.
Windows has an odd tendancy to corrupt it self.

You do realize they do continue to make those full keypad blackberry's still?

What kind of company logs reboots on PCs? Well windows machines at least. I reboot my windows machine at least once a day at work.
