If you really think that you brought up some valid points, you need to get out of IT. Please, for all our sakes, start running and never turn back. It is people like you who cause such messes as this.
Unless of course you are just a lowly programmer talking big.
I can understand that you have never heard the phrase 'fragile code', but could you think of a meaning? You do know what the words fragile and code mean, don't you?
You make some good points, but capital punishment is not about eliminating murder, since we all know that it is impossible to do so. It is about reducing the occurence of murder, by making it more unpleasant, and removing murderers from society. It is also a good method of population control, that perhaps needs to be revisited in the future. I wonder how many people could be fed/medicated in the third world if we spent the money we use on housing murderers to give to the poor.
If bicycles weighed 1500 lbs and went 50 mph, there'd be traffic lights on bike paths.
Brilliant. So if bikes were cars, then bike paths would have traffic lights? And maybe, rather than calling them bike paths, we could call them roads.
This is the whole point, bikes don't cause dangerous/deadly accidents when they hit each other, why should we have to follow the same rules? This is the way a lot of people think.
The reason drivers get pissed is because bikes have to follow the same rules of the road as cars.
We know that, but don't see why we should have to follow the rules because we don't create traffic/kill people. We can safely run red lights because we can see, we don't have blind spots/visual difficulty, we are right at the front of the lights, and we can stop quickly avoiding danger.
It's just as illegal and dangerous in a bike. Sure, it is just as illegal, but a lot less dangerous. Are you somehow saying a car running a red light is going to cause the same amount of damage/death as a bike? It is only really dangerous to the cyclist, and they decide to put themselves at risk. This is an idiotic statement.
they're just scenic, so there's not really a ton of traffic.
You are wrong. You sound like someone who has never ridden a bike, there are plenty of chances of running into someone when you are riding on dedicated bike paths, we are just not stupid enough to do it (also we don't get up to the same speeds, have more manouverability, better visual range/ no blind spots, etc...)
I used to run stop signs/ red lights when I was a younger cyclist, I justified it because bicycles don't create traffic, why should I have to stop. Just because people are too fat/lazy/dumb and have to drive around these huge vehicles, using 10x more space than a bike, and need traffic lights to tell them when to stop so they don't end up killing each other. You don't see traffic lights on bike paths.
Now I just stop because I know it irritates drivers, and I don't want to make their driving any worse.
I always found it funny that drivers get so pissed of when cyclists run red lights, when it is safe to do so, just because they can't. Bikes don't create traffic problems, cars do.
You know who else think differently, my friends, they think different to me as well. Amazing isn't it? They like different things, like different girls, have different priorities, etc... It is almost as if we are ALL individuals, not part of some great group hive mind.
Have you actually done any studies in this? Do you even try to compare the different code produced by different people? If you are normal, or not running a study, then you have not done this, why the hell would you?
I am guessing that you do this because you feel that you own the road, and don't agree to sharing it with cyclists. Ill admit that you see cyclists doing stupid things sometimes, but nowhere near as stupid as car drivers, and a cyclist isn't likely to ram into you adn kill you.
Just as you don't need to buy every game and accessory for your console, PC games don't need to buy every new technology for their PC.
The ability to upgrade your PC is actually a huge advantage, especially when you consider that 5 years after your console was released, you will be runnning on very old hardware.
There is no reason you can't have both. You won't find both from the developers of Quake and Doom, since they are primarily vehicles for showing off the graphics and getting people to buy the engine.
Has copy protection stopped pirate games? No. Has DRM stopped downloading? No.
Has the Police Force stopped murder? No. Had the Fire Department stopped fires? No.
Clearly we should get rid of both of there serives, they are just a waste of taxes for all of us, since they are not 100% effective. Lets get rid of doctors, hospitals and medical reasearch, since they haven't cured death and it is unlikely they ever will. Brillant!
I am almost 100% sure this cable was used in David Hasselhoff's Looking for Freedom concert atop the Berlin Wall, the very same show that ended communism in Europe. While listening to the Hoffenschosh's albums, I noted that Hot Shot City is particulary good.
Great to see some of the Hoffenboshcs fans weighing in.
Yes, they should just spend the $10-$100 billion of new infrastructure, just to keep some fuckers happy. I can't understand why they wouldn't just do that. I mean, they wouldn't get any more money from us, but still, it is only $10-$100 Billion, who cares?
You could have normal AI take over when a played gets near, or does something to affect the live player, and then when the player goes away, it returns to the live position.
Slashdot Mirror
I was assured by both that there was.
There is something you could do, get them to recover from the backups. This should be done every month.
New Zealand tends to support the UN line on military interventions, while Australia is more pro US.
Well, this has changed now that the so called Liberal government has been kicked out. Hopefully some level-headedness will ensue.
Australia is a very rich country compares to NZ, mostly because it is huge and has a ridiculous amount of resources available to be mined.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was EDS.

Women and men do tend to think differently.
... different
Not worse, nor better really, just
You know who else think differently, my friends, they think different to me as well. Amazing isn't it? They like different things, like different girls, have different priorities, etc... It is almost as if we are ALL individuals, not part of some great group hive mind.
I'm so tired of this stupid studies.
Too busy studying up on English grammar?
Have you actually done any studies in this? Do you even try to compare the different code produced by different people? If you are normal, or not running a study, then you have not done this, why the hell would you?
And you can't even spell ridiculous.
Did anyone complain. Until someone complains, there is no sexism here.
(though I do swear at cyclists a lot)

If you hate HTML so much, how come you use the web?
HTTP is based on HTML and you seem to be OK with using Slashdot. Why not use a proper markup language to format email messages?
That is like saying, if you like riding so much, why don't you ride your bike to Australia?
Or if you hate me hitting you in the head so much, why do you leave your house?
There is no reason you can't have both. You won't find both from the developers of Quake and Doom, since they are primarily vehicles for showing off the graphics and getting people to buy the engine.
Ha, the RIAA/MPAA dual pronged attack on copyright violators.
1) Make it harder to to copy their material.
2) Decrease the quality of the material, so you don't try too hard.
Has copy protection stopped pirate games? No.
Has DRM stopped downloading? No.
Has the Police Force stopped murder? No.

Don't worry, fortunately there are not that many stupid people willing to fall for this crap. At least, not that many stupid people with enough money.
Yes, but what do you mean by good, when we are talking about taste, and people prefer different tastes?
I am almost 100% sure this cable was used in David Hasselhoff's Looking for Freedom concert atop the Berlin Wall, the very same show that ended communism in Europe. While listening to the Hoffenschosh's albums, I noted that Hot Shot City is particulary good.

Not really that hard when you think about it.
I thought Obama was the candidate who stopped taking money from lobbyists and PACs.
John Edwards was the man if you really wanted change in Washington, he wanted to ban the lobbyists.
I predict he will end up being VP.
I like your little graph structure
Put on Shoes -> Put on coat -> Find Car Keys -> Get in Car -> Fill with Gas -> Drive to Park -> Get out of car
Go To airport -> Fly to Europe -> Go to hotel
So according to your graph, it is easier to fly to Europe than drive to the park. Brillant!
