I was down in Houston last year around this time and the rocket is quite a sight to see. One thing that did strike me is how damaged it was. You could see right through it in some spots, paint was chipped and missing everywhere, missing parts, etc.
I do realize that there are plenty of other uses for the money, but is it right to only spend money on humanitarian efforts? In the ideal world we wouldn't need money and it wouldn't be an issue. But we all know that that doesn't work out on paper.
And here I am off-topic. The rockets are amazing to see and should be preserved.
Stop by Boondoggles on Saturdays to cheer for the Ken Valentino Band. Hat's off to the drummer.
nope, you mean the narrator. Norton isn't given a name in the movie. The character isn't given a name in the book either. It gives a nice anonymity that lets the reader be the character. Tyler is the name the narrator chooses for his alter ego. Rather pointless discussion here, but if we're gonna pick nits...well, you were wrong.
And to further the pointlessness, Jack is the name that is commonly given to the nameless narrator as it makes everything easier to type.
haha, that's actually hilarious. I got pissed that you were making a joke from the same movie I was joking that I was aware of, but apparently not familiar enough with...

Ouch, sure told me. You find a need to point out the irrelevant. Now shut up.
I guess people are allowed to post information when they think someone didn't get a joke, but posting back that you actually did understand the joke isn't allowed. That makes as much sense as your post.
all true. it's an ideal, but I still can't believe there hasn't been more of a push for it. and regardless of what you or I consider porn, this could be something that would give politicians and us something more to argue about.
looking back on it, even the TLDs we have are little more than ways to have more domain combinations. I agree with an earlier post that says we'll eventually just be using keywords like AOL uses. Heck, I only remember domains for the sites I most frequently read. Everything else gets a google trip.
Hmmm, this web searching business could be quite lucrative...
I don't understand why xxx hasn't been approved yet. Followed by a mandate that pornographic sites must use it. Include a method for current sites playboy.com to have first dibs on playboy.xxx so as to avoid squatting.
I remember this coming up years ago as a way to help with filtering and I can't believe.mobi gets in but.xxx or.porn or.masturbate are still in limbo.
Plus it'd have the added benefit of allowing you to set a rule where a mash of the keyboard with one hand would default to adding.xxx instead of.com
Free does not mean solicited. What makes you think the current GA law or the new national service will send you the report on their own? You have to request it.
I too was disappointed to find that New England was last on the list. But I can understand that they're doing this in a slow, fractured rollout. It allows them to build slowly in a number of areas including bandwidth, real help, and accrued data. It's slower than we'd all like for sure.
He looks at the buggy spaghetti code spewed out in a caffeine driven programming session as something more in common with literature than engineering.
Yes, there are also bridges that don't support their intended weight, books, movies, television, etc that flop, buildings that topple under their weight, planes that crash due to poor design, and countless other examples of bad engineering.
For whatever reason, the glamorized coder has gained the stereotype of being a caffeine goth freak.
I hate coffee and my best coding is done when I have a concrete goal in mind with a carefully planned blueprint detailing what I need to do to finish the job. Huh, blueprint. Don't "real" engineers use those?
I suspect your friend has seen one too many cyberpunk movies.
Trust me, you don't want one. I saw this documentary a few weeks ago about this whole series of guys killed due to their cape wearing ways. I myself was amazed at this lesser known killer.
What, did you type "spyware for mac" into google and post the result? That's not the same sort of spyware. The linked product announcement is for something closer to a security based key logger. It doesn't report results back to the company, it's for monitoring computer usage. If ever there was a case of RTFA.

It is **hilarious** that you were modded funny.
and the VM question? oh, we're everywhere.
People just don't appreciate good navigational humor these days.
great, now also they'll get me for a moving violation when I'm using bittorrent
all true
I think the fink install is more up to date than the currently installed default though.
But we know the important question is really, will it run Emacs?
And fortunately, the answer is yes, yes, and yes.
iTunes has the complete Hanukkah catalog as an iMix.
all ~20 songs...

As you wish.
It was a joke.
I'm aware of those facts.
When I was your age, we used to call TV "books".
yeah, there's nothing like sitting down for a nice relaxing night of book watching.
Optimizing has nothing to do with defragmentation. All it does is update prebindings.
as an aside, HFS+ is intended to continuously defrag while writing files. it's not the same as a dedicated defrag, but it's supposed to help a bit.
My Pismo, that is still officially supported by Panther, has an 8MB Rage. hardware != tower

If you're going by something known as the definition.
It might be assinine to split hairs like this, but it's a valuable distinction given the context of the article.
It was still the best documentary I've seen since Highlander.
