Based on my experiences, that means the majority of coders and admins out there are idiots. I almost never see comments or documentation (good or bad) on any software.
Just as realtors like to say, "Location, location, location", (one) of my quotes is "Document, document, document".
Please, please, I'm begging you, don't give those quacks any MORE stupid ideas. It's bad enough when you ask them why people who are subject to MRIs aren't the picture of health yet a bracelet can somehow cure your ills that they expel nonsense about this, that or other thing which has no bearing on reality.
We don't need to see these devices popping up at $29.99 a pop and having people wander around with what is effectively a colander on their heads.
While your comments are appreciated, I've always considered such an explanation as crap. If the matter within the universe is expanding, it has to be expanding into something. What is that something?
Saying it's like a balloon proves the point. The balloon may be expanding, but it is expanding into the box/room/whatever. Your explanation simply says the balloon is expanding into itself.
The same goes for the origination of the Big Bang (or Expansion). You can't say the matter in the universe was in a ball (metaphorically speaking) and then at some point it began to expand because it has to expand into something, not into itself. Further, what was that point of matter sitting in before it expanded? Was it sitting in emptiness? If so, what was that emptiness contained in?
I enjoy seeing new discoveries like this, and pretty much anything related, but this is the one explanation I have always thought was a cop out. If you don't know what the universe is expanding into, then say so. Don't say it's expanding but not into anything.
It would be limited to people who themselves made the range. So, if you made $85K and they made $80K, you would show up in each others search.
If you made $56K and they made $85K, neither would show in the others search.
I don't think there was a way to search for people within a salary range. I don't remember seeing anything like that. However, as I did mention, you could do a wider search from the homepage, when you weren't logged in, which would show you anyone who met your criteria regardless of salary.
That's what I did. I wanted to see everyone who met my age range. I could weed things out from there.
This is one reason I haven't gone to other sites, including OKCupid. Even though it, OKCupid, is free, I can't do a search from the main page to see if it's worth it to sign up. If it's the same people as on Fish, then what's the point?
Or the time they accidentally opened onto a black hole gate (Never understood why they were not able to rescue the other SG team.)
Apparently you didn't like the show enough to understand why they couldn't rescue the other team. It had to do with the gravity well of the black hole causing time dilation. What they were seeing had already taken place.
In fact, the event horizon got into the SG center and was in the process of doing its thing until a small nuclear device was dropped into the Stargate, severing the connection.
I didn't mind the interface. It was nice to see something simple. However, I left when he became more like Facebook in that to read any message you had to supply information such as your income level, occupation, and related matters.
While you could falsify the stuff, the problem came in when it was discovered that when you did a search, your results were based on what was on your profile. So if you said your salary was $100K, then whatever programming was done on the backside would limit your results to people who had a salary range of $80K - $110K, for example. Someone who made $50K would not be included. Markus himself said that this was done because (paraphrasing) like follows like.
You could bypass this by doing a generic search from the main page without logging in but that shouldn't have had to be done.
There were other issues that I finally threw in the towel (to paraphrase another poster on here, "Moo!") but overall it was because in my area, there was very little selection. I'm not overly picky, but when you talk about how badly you were treated in the past or you don't take shit from anyone, I'll keep walking.
You might want to reconsider that statement. The roads aren't free any more than healthcare is "free". Someone had and has to pay for it and in this case both the trucker and the company pay their taxes (as do you) for those free roads.
Second, there are HUGE taxes and other fees that trucking companies have to pay. You complain about paying $3.15/gallon fuel, try $3.75 (or more) per gallon when you're filling up your 100 gallon tanks.
Same goes for when using toll roads. Instead of.50 for a vehicle, it's several dollars.
Thirdly, rail can only get you so far when transporting goods. Unless you're considering putting a railyard behind every Wal-Mart, Giant Eagle and Best Buy.
Rail is great when you're hauling lots of stuff long distances to a centralized location. But when you need to haul small amounts short distances, trucking beats rail every time.
My dad used to work for a trucking concern which specialized in heavy equipment (including Russian Migs and parts of the Berlin Wall). He can tell you all about how many taxes and fees a trucking company pays.
Unfortunately, because the author put in a bit of opinion on the whole mess, people tried (and still try) to discredit the entire paper rather than just ignore the opinion pieces.
Since the science holds up, it's obvious that the only real difference between Palestinians and Jews is their religions.
Considering it was the FCC who allowed broadband providers to not be subject to the same rules and regulations that phone providers are, it would seem that the FCC does have the authority. If you tell someone they aren't subject to X rules, then obviously you do have the power to dictate what they can or can't do or you wouldn't be able to tell them what they can or can't do.
Are people really unable to WAIT for anything any more?
Judging by the number of people on here who make it a point to whine about how they have to wait X days, weeks or months to see a tv show or movie which is shown in one part of the world but not another, and who go out of their way to find a torrent or some other pirated means to watch said show before it is available in their area, I'd say the answer is no.
When combined with the number of people who use texting or IM almost exclusively to communicate rather than e-mail or phone because the latter two are more immediate, that pretty much closes the subject.
Thanks. I couldn't remember how it was done since I haven't watched the show in a very long time (many, many years). I thought at one time it could be done because I have recollections of people jumping in and trying to answer the question, getting it wrong, and Trebek telling the remaining two people the rest of the question.
One would presume they type the question in as it is being read or slightly before and when Trebek stops talking, they hit the Enter key (or Execute key or Engage key or whatever key they have).
Of course, they could always type the question as it is being read and as it is being done, the processing takes place. That is the same thing that humans do. As the question is read your brain is already processing.
Also, unless I'm mistaken, one doesn't have to wait for the entire question to be read. You can jump in early if you think you know the answer.
There's a spy still in prison since the mid 80s for spying on the US for Israel.
Jonathan Pollard and Israel keeps asking every administration to release him. Fortunately, even under Bush, that request has been denied every time.
I don't expect that to change under Obama either. The military and intelligence communities would go apeshit over his release. A U.S. citizen who spied for a foreign country who gets rewarded for the spying by being sent to the country who spied for and who would treat him a hero. Yeah, that would go over well.
Believe it or not, Internet Explorer is not trademarked. Many, many years ago, when browsers were just coming into existence, there was a product called Internet Explorer which someone was selling (via floppy disk).
Microsoft came along and made their Internet Explorer and gave it away for free. The guy sued them claiming infringement but because he had not trademarked the name, there was no case. Thus, Microsoft drove him out of business and continues to use the name Internet Explorer without issue.
Don't believe me? Open up Internet Explorer and check the About info. Windows is copyrighted but there are no marks for Internet Explorer.
Thus, if you wanted to make a browser called Internet Explorer, you are free to do so.

The newest day is May 11, 2001. At least according to Harold Camping. One can only hope that like the bunch of loons who left this world when the Hale Bopp comet came by, a large portion of these people will also do the rest of mankind a service and follow their example.
Is white wine with a dash of carbon dioxide a mixed drink?
No. That's what champagne is (known as sparkling wine when not produced from the Champagne region of France). As is the German wine made from the Gewurztraminer grape. It's a by-product of the fermentation process.

Recently I was swapping NIC cards in and out of my server

I believe this study is what you were referring to.

When combined with the number of people who use texting or IM almost exclusively to communicate rather than e-mail or phone because the latter two are more immediate, that pretty much closes the subject.
They build things that barely get by the predefined margins of acceptability with the lowest cost.
Like Spirit and Opportunity, right?
Or did you mean Deep Impact (not the movie)?
Voyager 1 and 2? Cassini?

Then that is recent. In the past, Internet Explorer was not a registered trademark.
That is the copyright symbol (a c inside a circle). That only refers to Windows, not the browser.

Consider those trappings a tax on the stupid.

they should just go ahead and melt all of John Cusack's roles till date.
Just preserve:
Grosse Point Blank
Serendipity
Runaway Jury
While he's not outstanding in any of them, the movies wouldn't be the same without him.
to enforce good behavior, we'd have more of what Rob Halford talks about in 'Blood Red Skies':
Cybernetic heartbeat
Digital precise
Pneumatic fingers nearly had me in their vice
Automatic sniper
With computer sights
Scans the bleak horizon for it's victim of the night
