"Let's hope that VAC works perfectly and won't ban you from VAC servers by accident because you were running something perfectly legit which happened to trip its detection mechanism."
PROTIP: VAC is triggered by the detection of entire known binaries. You can't trip it accidentally without having the cheating mechanism on-disk, and if you do have it on-disk... well that's your fault. I always wonder why there's some poor cheater who comes up with this "I was banned but I didn't cheat" excuse, because it doesn't hold up at all when others know how VAC works.

This feature was promoted by Will Wright as a part of the whole Everything Sim experience. It's retarded that people would have to pay extra for it now. I'm happy I didn't buy Spore.
Find Steve Drasner. He's a Computer Science professor at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale.
His intro to programming class starts at the bottom, teaching only pseudocode without the use of computers whatsoever. After giving the students a good grasp of concepts of structured programming, he uses it to segue into the concepts of object oriented programming.
I took Java prior to Drasner's class and, while I understood most of what I learned, I never quite understood the purpose of OOP/D until I took Drasner's course. Everything snapped into place.
So it's basically a mindfuck, just like the rest of quantum theory.
I'm kinda surprised this wasn't tested before. You'd think all the mindfucks would be checked since it's basically maybe opposite day over in quantum-land.
I've been using JiveTalk with the Blackberry (not advertising this) to avoid text messaging fees for a while now. JiveTalk is 30 bucks for a user license, but it's gotten good reviews from BGR, etc. so I thought it might not be a bad deal.
I can't see Microsoft justifying a Yahoo purchase unless they knew about the BOSS platform in advance, which is probably why the sale fell through in the first place.
Then again, I doubt BOSS alone would save Yahoo anyway.
There are a few risks. The biggest one is if any of the teams slip behind or run ahead of schedule. If that happens, pieces will begin to fall out of sync.
however, the biggest benefit would be to web developers if this goes through as planned. I'd appreciate a properly modularized HTML5 myself.
What's depressing is that a number of the execs complained about the Vista Capable thing too (Mike Nash being one of them, but there are others who didn't complain in their emails).
The Vista Capable debacle happened the exact same way both the Challenger and Columbia disasters happened; the only reason those with objections went with the majority decision was due to group suppression of judgment. Psychological conformity, essentially.
If he wants to present volatile material (truth or not) from one religion, he should do the same for all of them. Otherwise, it's nothing more than a hate film.
There's no such thing as an objective work solely against just one idea, nor is there any such thing as an objective work solely in favor of just one idea. Now, if the film presents objective, irrefutable proof backing up its disdain towards Islam, then sure, it's fine. However, judging from who the person is and what he's been doing so far, I seriously doubt that this is the case. I'm bookmarking my reply for when the film is released and I'll get back to you once I watch it.

As of the time of my reply, I see that you've got a "-1, Insightful" score on your post.
Congratulations!

Hard to believe, I know, but we actually don't have any ads on AeroXperience. Thanks for your concern, though.
He uses textbooks for practice (I can't remember which. You'll need to ask him.), but all of his teachings are really from his own notes.
Drop him an email and see what he says.

That sounds like a painful request.
So does this mean any service agreement which contains a very limiting arbitration clause is essentially fucked?
This could be handy.
SURPRISE!
So we need to expect a cyborg rat invasion now?
I, for the rest, do not welcome our rat brained robotic overlords.
That's what happened the last time.

You've got social security numbers of thousands of people on company laptops and you didn't make it a policy to encrypt everything?
Seriously?
More maneuverable, more chic (or at least slightly more stylish), and much more portable...
This seems much more like a resurrection of the concept behind the Segway rather than a Segway killer. I actually want this to take off.
So you mean the times we spent talking about CP and Terrorism were bugged?
Ah, shit.
I want more women in my IT department! Too bad nothing will come from this...
(even if anything does come from this, it'll probably take a decade or two, which makes me feel old already)
Thanks, Slashdot. My post was aimed at Keyseir (968368, poster of the First Post. Seems like clicking Reply to This didn't really go as planned.
Sorry about that. Feel free to mod down.
First comment since 2006 and this is what you post?
I had the option of modding you down, but it felt more appropriate to bring this up instead.

I read what he wrote because it was interesting. It's too bad that you had to pick nits instead of countering his argument with your own points.
In English, we call that either a "cheap shot" or a "cop out."
So wait a second... instead of needing a dish that's 1km in diameter, we'll need a dish that's just 1.5cm in diameter?
yeah I know the SC2k jokes are old. I tried.
