Oi, you! I patched qpage to include username support, and I've emailed you THREE TIMES with my patch, and you never included it! I deserve to be heard!
Alas, most of the world is using "sendpage" now, which is a bit easier to use, but.. argh.. I don't want to become the sole maintainer of a qpage fork:-D
Actually, "mountain" by english definition is anything over 1000ft. Cornwall has at least 4 "mountains". Neighbouring dartmoor goes up to 1800ft. Feel free to jog up that one, but real men cycle up it:-)
Having cycled from Lands End to John o' Groats twice, I can tell you that the shortest route from the two most distant points on great britain are 857 miles apart. The route we took was 1050.
Based on this, by the time he hits 1050 mph, he would barely be out of cornwall. Then again, it's quite mountainous around there, so he would probably be quite high in the air by that point.
Then we'd get "piss for workgroups", "piss media center", "blue screen of piss", "piss-off-ice" (putting the 'fizz' back into 'offizz'), piss flight simulator, piss box 360, piss sql server, er..
well that's microsoft's entire career summed up. Lets roll with that.
maybe now they could concentrate on the hard stuff, like, well, given the life expectancy of John McCain, there is a serious possibility that America's president will be a cross-eyed barbie doll with a shotgun. Who thinks the earth is 6000 years old, and can't name a newspaper she reads, and doesn't know what Hamas is, and is backed up by voters who think she's going to get "raptured" on election night, and well, where do I stop? I'm kinda hoping that the stupid bitch gets eaten by hyenas and the results posted on failblog.
Freedom to pay for healthcare, freedom to be sacked without notice, freedom for unregulated banks to spend all your money then demand more when they run out, freedom to pay for the shit that civilised governments provide as a basic need.
Great. Your idea of freedom is being a slave to the system.
I prefer the actual freedom you get when basic rights are covered. And if I don't like that, I guess I'm free to vote republican and reverse that decision.
If it was worth writing a new build tool, it was worth writing it in C
Why would you write something which is basically a glorified file processor in C? C wouldn't exactly be my first choice for something which spends most of its time pattern matching and goal-hunting, and it's hardly 'make' using up the cpu during a massive build. That would be ld thrashing the disks.
Make has pretty ugly syntax, and if your editor isn't set up right, you'd better watch out for those trailing tabs/spaces. I stopped writing makefiles by hand a long time ago. So what next? autoconf? Any language which uses 'dnl' as a comment specifier then tries to auto-generate 5000 line long shell scripts is something I tend to run screaming from
I tend to use scons and qmake these days, because both have really easy and versatile syntax, which means I get to spend more time coding and less time trying to figure out how to get the thing to build. I played with cmake for a while as well. It depends on the project I'm working on, but either way I don't spend my life trying to use the same hammer to crack every nut.
I'm now tossing up whether to learn Ruby or Python
Spend 3 hours on the tutorials for each, then make a decision. I'm pretty sure I know which most people will prefer (certainly understand quicker), but I'm not going to start a flame war by saying which.
Either way, that's the only way to make the right decision and not regret it, or blindly dive into one without knowing about the other.
On the other hand, I'm not sure if the prohibitions of distribution are wise either.
This is a point that troubled me on the concept of the inalienable right to free speech, but something occurred to me. These are pictures of individuals taken without their consent. The right to possession rule kind of moves in here.
But a more important philosophical fact is brought in. Is ALL speech rightful? The vast majority of people don't want this stuff going around. The people who do have the right to protest the contrary. It's a dangerous issue to debate, but I don't think it's too dangerous to political expression and the foundation of democracy that the distribution of pictures of another without their consent which aren't in the public interest, in the name of nothing more than trivia, which is rather specific, is wrong. Might kill off the celeb magazine industry, but who the hell reads those comics anyway?
oh, and as for the confrontational language.. he was in the same pub as me. he threatened me in the pub after I gave my friend a cigarette, and he asked for one and I said no. He said "gimme a cigarette, or I'll do something to you". I had none left. He demanded I go to the shop and buy him some. He followed me out of the pub half an hour later and then the incident happened.
I'll give you the crime reference number if you like.
No, I hit him in the face after i deliberately dived onto my bum to avoid the knife, and caught him when he followed me down.
The "arab" reference wasn't a judgement on an entire race, it was more for people who know the way shit is around here to know which corner it was coming from. The article talks about people stabbing eachother. Of the 27 knife murders this year in london, 25 of the victims were from ethnic minorities. It's not the slightest bit racist to look at this statistic and ask "wtf is going on here?", and it's certainly not racist for members of the very same communities to be the ones holding peace marches across london and to be the ones asking for this filth to be removed from youtube.
This is a wider issue. Not just about movies being removed from youtube, but a seriously broken social community that needs urgent help.
Incidentally, my attacker ran off shouting "don't fuck with pakis like me". I would never use that word myself. If there is a racist involved in the incident, it certainly wasn't me.
You call me friend. I call you the same, but you're the one who trusts me so little as to hold a weapon.
Civilised society is where guns are unnecessary. Few British police have guns, and that makes the more approachable, and therefore more trustworthy when doing their jobs. I mentioned in an earlier post about how the British fought for their own freedom in the English civil war (and it spread into Scotland, Wales and Ireland (although the Irish largely got fucked up by it) which is why I say British), but this whole "right to bare arms" thing.. a fascist monarch wanted to take over the country. Enough people wanted to overthrow the bastard, and guns suddenly appeared and the new model army defeated him.
They didn't keep them in a cupboard waiting for a varmint to turn up, they were provided by an organised militia with enough support to overthrow the king.
Guns tend to appear if your country is being oppressed.

Hell, I'm waiting for the announcement that they can turn my shit into food!
I hate Idle, Btw.
Try running this then:
#!/bin/sh
while true; do
fork
done
It's not quite firefox, but it's a hell of a lot better than the default browser.
It goes out of sync with the server, and you have to go down to the IT department to have them resync it. Fucking annoying.

Not only are you showing off with a lower member id than me
:-D
Low ID = old fart. He may be a regexp wizard, but he probably looks like gandalf too
A once geek-only outrage will now be slowly taken up by the AOL like masses.
eeeeh! The "september that never ended" is about to transcend into music! aaargh! my ears!!!
I had a buggy whipp, but that was just a rather disgusting dessert.
clearly it should be "...gay dick up an elephant's cunt".
No, it shouldn't be. It really shouldn't be anything like that.

Obviously that's not needed around here.

Quite. The algorithm round here involves growing beards and buying all your tshirts from thinkgeek..

My dad taught me brainfuck :(
on a related note, does anyone wanna buy a box of paperclips?
There's a pretty hot receptionist here. Boy would I like to "slip a mac into her lab coat pocket"
