I watched something a while back (some kids movie) and it STILL did the thing where, once the previews started, there was no way (other than FF) to skip them. The MENU key didn't work. If you pressed MENU before it started, it would go. I don't remember what this was, but I know it was a new release.
Yeah. I used to work in a print shop in the mornings back when I was reporter at a newspaper at night. You wouldn't belive some of the horrible writing I saw on resumes. It got to where we offered my editing services for a few dollars more.
People who pay for porn are idiots who can't be bothered to run a USENET bot software (which is point and click) or something else. Honestly, there is more free porn than you have disk space to store in one week of a good USENET feed. Even if you can't figure that out, there is emule, torrents, irc, and web sites galore.
People who pay for porn are truly morons. They get what they deserve. Think of it as evolution in action.
Agreed. I didn't mean to say that there aren't backward-compatibility problems with commercial software. I think It's interesting your example is java. I think it is particularly a problem in the java world.
Agreed. this has been my experience with Open Source Software. I've really only been working in the java space about 3 years, with the last 6 months or so at a company which heavily uses open source stuff. We used to use a little stuff at the old place.
Anyway, I've been amazed, there is some real quality OS stuff (the Apache group projects in particular), but I've also been amazed at the lack of concern for backward compatability. I mean, we struggled a lot at my old job with the Xerces 1.x to 2.x upgrade, because we had some stuff that required 1.x and Apache completely refactored the package names! No where on the web site could I find a rational reason for doing so other than "we felt like it"
get a laser! If you print a fair amount, it pays for itself. Price per page is WAY lower, quieter, faster, and maintenance problems are far fewer. My wife prints a lot for her stay at home contracting gig. (It's oodles of paperwork), and we love our little Samsung 600dpi laser. It was like $150 after rebate. Sure the toner cart's are like $60, but they last a LONG time (like about 9 months, several 500 page reams of paper).
Also, we don't miss the color. Wife or myself takes the camera or media card to the drug store and crop and print a picture for 25 cents. (less if doing multiple prints)

.. can you say
"B Ark" boys and girls? I knew you could...
for about three years. Now play on Pokerstars. I play mostly No limit and Pot Limit Hold 'em tourneys, and some limit stud. I won a 250 person $20 event earlier this year (about $1200 payday). (I just busted out of the same tourney about 30 minutes ago). I'm up that plus about $150 this year. It's mostly entertainment.
I've played a little live, and am heading to Tunica (the Grand) this weekend to play with a buddy.
Poker online is nice, but I have a lot more fun with my monthly game...
not really, the SOA project I was involved in was at a gov't agency and was mostly semi-internal (all within the same gov't agency). I suspect, as usual, people take articles/trends about software development and think "commercial software", when the vast majority of software that is written is only for internal use.
actually, I have had trouble with coons. Looked at those, but I have one cat that doesn't meow. Ever. Birth defect I think. A few times he's gotten really agitated and sort of squeaked.
I ended up locking the door to one way (out only) at nite, but then the coon figured out how to lift it up from the outside and go thru! (those things are smart), so I put in a sliding wooden cover I whipped up on the router/table saw real quick. Did that fora few weeks and the coon went on to better hunting. Back to normal now.
or, if you have a cat door, they just go outside and crap. We actually have two cat doors, one to the garage to where the food is kept, and one outside. Cat's come/go as they please and the sum total of maintenance is when our one cat that can meow comes by to let me know he's out of food and/or water and I go fill it up. Cat's like these are the ultimate geek pet: extremely low maintenance.
how about this? This is a real world example. Person brings virus in on USB key drive. Infects machine, proceeds to spread. Anti-virus software (norton) keeps finding it and reparining, but it is getting out of control. Where are these infections coming from? an infected SAMBA share on a Solaris box. I believe this was techincally a trojan, but at soon as it got loose it started infecting files on windows shares. Didn't care that it was, technically, a SAMBA share. Since there was no antivirus for Solaris available, only solution was to copy everything off, delete all files in share, let AV software clean files, copy back.
Of course, it goes without saying that the trojan code placed into the files wasn't executing on the Solaris box, so it wasn't infected.
I never said anything about me being intellectual and people disagreeing with me.
What I said was it is NOT a bonus to a politician as coming off as intellectual in the U.S. Do you disagree with this statement. I can assure you, it was a big downfall of Dukakis in my home state.
Note, I didn't necessarily say someone like Bush isn't intelligent. But Bush using homespun language and not coming off as real intellectual is a PLUS not a negative, at least in many, many parts of the country.
One of Clinton's strengths (love him or hate him), was his "folksy" southern way of speaking. And there was no doubt Clinton was an intellectual.
... because anti-intellectualism is alive and well in the U.S., that's why. It's not a bonus to be a smart politician (particularly one who "talks smart" -- uses big words) it is a negative. A big one.

ummm, you DO know he's kidding right? American football has had this for YEARS.

Personally, I like top posting. If I need/want the context, I have no problem going down to get it.
However, that is only for short messages. For long messages, I prefer the replies interspersed, so I can see what you are referring to.
I think it's just personal preference, however.

I do the same with ABC's "Lost" It's pretty good (although I haven't been as crazy about the last couple episode's).

I get it now. MySQL v. PostgreSQL is the open source equivalent of the closed source MSSQL v. Oracle (without the cost argument)

well, I guess that is obvious. I see no reason why that won't work. Guess that is why I'm a programmer, not a sysadmin.

Ah. Now I see. I guess you think I give a crap.
If there was no doubt then you have already contradicted your assertion...
Nope. There was no doubt to someone who bothered to research/read about his life and record, but that is a minority of people who vote.
If you think it was a liability for Dukakis, I think you will find it equally true for Kerry.
do you want a cookie? I guess you are determined to turn this into a bush v. kerry flame war.

Most Friday's, I have a beer at lunch with my boss and his boss. We get plenty done on Friday afternoons too.
ah, the joy of being back at a start up again! (and this one makes money!)
that's interesting. I didn't realize that. I'm new to python/jython. So, is jython slower than "normal" python?
