Schumacher probably had only the second best car when he won the World Championship for Benetton too. Mansell was, arguably, driving the best one at the time.
However, at least as of 9:43am EST, the advance Search results are presented using the new interface. Even more annoying, even if you select "sort by date" they still appear sorted by relevance. So much for all the Super-IQ talent they are recruting.
I watched Bourne Supremacy on a plane back from Vegas. Now, I had been up until 4am playing poker, but I fell asleep half an hour before the end. Seeing as I can't generally sleep on planes, I'm guessing it wasn't very good film.
In Britain ? Perhaps not (although that is debatable). In the devolved Scottish Parliament, however, your vote absolutely counts as they use a very, IMHO, fair proportional representation mechanism.
If the UK was truly keen to attract skilled software workers, I wouldn't be typing this from my New York office - I'd be back home in Scotland instead.
And it's particularly useless in a lot of the lower limit hold'em games where a number of players are either too inexperienced to observe your behaviour (and buy into your bluff), or just hang on to bad cards all the way to the river 'just in case they make their draw.'
Are you talking about the cinema release - 'cos I saw that film in Scotland a couple of days after it came out and it definitely had the heart-removal scene in it.
Of course, we breed'em hard where I come fromm
Case in point: person X sells 100 shares of a company at P for a profit. Person Y bought the shares from them (simplified) at P+e (e = commission and/or bid/ask spread, etc.). Down the road, person Y sells their shares for Q>(P+e) and in so doing ALSO makes a profit. No one was on the losing side of this situation.
Depends on your usage profile I guess. I wanted a PDA with web and email access. Don't use a cell phone that much, but it is useful sometimes.
So I bought a Treo 600. Now I have all the PDA functionality I need, MP3 player, Shoutcast, email (with native attachment support), and a web browser. I can even rip DVDs and watch them on MMPlayer. Oh, and I can plug it in to my laptop and use it for wireless internet access. Plus, I can load any one of the multitude of PalmOS apps out there (Daily Dilbert, Hold'Em poker etc.)
And when I do need the phone, it's there. So no, I think the all-in-device is perfect for my needs.
Even worse in my eyes is that the guy has invented a really useful mobile transporter i.e. the iBOT wheelchair
and all the hype still goes to the Segway.
Political Correctness ??? Whoa - my (obviously tiny) mind just thought the idea of a blind guy driving to the ATM was mildly amusing.
You really want to help out the seeing impaired, try giving them bills that are different colours, sizes and textures.
My favourite ATM is a local drive-thru in Connecticut. It has keys marked in braille.

Indeed, fundamental Christians are not the devil. Any normal person would be in favour of "nuking the entire subcontinent"
For me, though, fundamentalism in any guise seems to create more problems than it solves.
So if I hook up my Casio keyboard to a pot plant, does this mean I will end up with an awesome photosynthesizer ?
I also have a great 'geranium diode' joke, but I'll save that for when the current thread needs rectifying.
When I bought "Forsaken" for a my PC a few years ago, it came with a free SpaceOrb (a 3D controller). That wasn't too expensive.
After some configuration (with the help of a virtual reality chicken), it worked pretty well. Not much suppport for NT/XP unfortunately, so it has slowly become obsolete.

Of course, as soon as VoIP replaces POTS, you can guarantee that the price advantage will also be eliminated.
That's easy. CEO and Director compensation is such a highly complex issue that it is usually decided by an external review body. And the composition of this review body ? A bunch of Directors and CEOs from other companies.
Seems fair.

True. If it wasn't for the fact the Blake's 7 was the best sci-fi series ever.

If you need to hack, try Modula 2 (Pascal's younger brother). I have used it, with some success, even in embedded apps.

I think you're on to something here:
The no gamble approach to the stockmarket
1. Everyone buys low
2. Everyone sells high
3. Everyone profits !

It's fun coding apps for it yourself, too.

Starts with an "i" and contains "BOT" - it rocks.
I used to read it at my girlfriend's apartment. It was great - until my wife found out.
Ahh. And I thought we just had an unusually high population of blind drivers in CT. At least, it seems that way on I-95.
