Like a poster above my wife and I can have wonderful conversations but if it's on the phone then there's always something else vying for my attention, and it ends up distracting me.
So there is something other than the poster above your wife
that distracts you too? Why not just get a poster of your
wife too?
It's completely worthless, and it just reeks of this immature 'because we can' attitude.
It may or may not be especially useful, but doing things 'because we can' is NOT immature. It is the essence of scientific discovery, and at the core values of most hackers and geeks.
Windows is aimed at the average joe who is too stupid and too poor to choose otherwise even though there are better choices.
Windows is aimed at everyone. MacOSX is aimed at anyone willing to buy Apple hardware. I won't buy any more Apple hardware when they constantly orphan their technologies without a well thought migration strategy.
Politicians are in the public eye, and should expect satire and public attention. No one forced them to be politicians. Danish cartoons causing bloodshed, and now this. Does the Australian
government think its people so dumb that they can't distinguish
parody from sincerity?
1) Credit card companies send out blank checks with your account info on them, in feeble attempts to get you to spend up with a lower interest rate where they will charge you jacked up rates when you don't pay in full.(and anyone swiping your mail can use your CC as good as cash)
2) Credit card companies are sending out more and more "authoritative looking" mail offers that makes it look like a check is being made out to you, but it swindles you into some sort of agreement that will cost you more.
Even if you opt out with various agencies, all bets are off if you have a service with any company, and they will adwhore you until you submit! These companies are extremely shady.
Hasn't anyone considered that laziness is the
biggest factor of these luddites?
For years Joe Sixpack has been spoonfed television
broadcasts. All of this interaction is "too much work" for the truly lazy and people with sedate minds.
I have been programming software in C++ and Java for over 10 years now professionally. I love to write code, it is my passion and I'll be damned if I let ANYONE take away my dream
of writing code for the rest of my life.
I lost my job to outsourcing. I was out of work for nearly a year.
It was hell, it was torment, and it was impossible to find work...until I outsourced my job search.
I was at wit's end until I was inspired by
My Outsourced Life and I did something about it and landed a great
job thanks to my friend "Steven" in India.
Sure, Bush's attitude is cocky because I strongly suspect he
thinks that we are "better than" India; but the important thing to take out of this is : outsourcing is not going away, and you can either exploit it or let it ruin you.
The cocky part is the American spirit, for overcoming adversity
in the worst of times, with hard work, ingenuity and creativity. Dedication to excellence in the work you do
will keep you going, and if you want something badly enough you will find a way to get it.
The point is that they are both tree-based digraphs.
A file explorer is a natural way to represent directories
and files. Folders can and do contain other folders as children
whereas files are terminal nodes.
The analogy still holds up.
I do not care how much money you make being a VP, if you have ANY clue at all about programming and/or security,
I have a clue about programming, and I see a browser component (which albeit IE is a big monolithic Swiss Army knife version of) as a good candidate and example of code reuse. File trees and DOM trees, filenames and URI's are effectively the same thing and honestly, what's the difference?
As far as security goes, yes, it's bad because its putting all of their proverbial eggs in one basket.
So if we were to encapsulate the whole process into
an embedded system to drain/cycle our blood automatically to be done on a daily basis could we extend our lives by 1/3 (the time we should be sleeping?)

Shields up geeks. We wouldn't want to be accused of sexual harassment by means of leering at starry eyed teachers who want to make eye contact.

Yeah, but it shouldn't take 4 days to figure out how unusable it is. Clearly, MS was in the right for knocking his street cred.

What a miserable miserable world we live in.
C'mon now. I want nothing less than 1080p support in my next generation DVD format! Anything less than 1080i is a complete waste of bits.
That someone from a company that filed 2,974 patents in 2005 claims that there is no next big thing in 2006?
A cautiously optimistic Nigerian teenager is secretly plotting a MySpace oil scam involving aforementioned $100 crank-based computers.

So they're covering up their move to Java? :)
Say we find these so-called "planners" and kick them in the nuts.
Your papers ... NOW, sir.
Bullshit! This is not offtopic. 3 Apple posts in a row...You Apple fanboys.
Did someone mix up apple.slashdot.org with slashdot.org? There are WAY too many Apple crossposts the past few days.
It won't be the end of Open-R too.

How well would our new tiniest-fish-in-the-world friend do in a battle to the death with a Sea-Monkey ?
