It feels a bit unfair, though. Like we are taking advantage of - or leeching off of - the ignorant people. Not that that stops me.:) I was blocking ads long before adblock and friends by using filtering proxies like privoxy and junkbuster.
Then again, I pay for a lot of those advertisements with my consumer dollars the same way they do.
You paint a rosy picture of homo sapiens. Maybe it is was that homo sapiens developed a strategy of raiding and killing neanderthal children similar to the way lions kill cheetah cubs.:)
Why didn't we hear about the beta beforehand? And are they going to add new realms to this game to support the greater than expected number of players, because I can't log on my character currently.
No, we'd simply mock you for calling it "PERL" instead of "perl".:)
But seriously, professional perl programmers are well aware that perl golf (accomplishing something with the smallest number of keystrokes) and writing professional working and maintainable code are two entirely different endeavors. The fact that you don't think so, and that you call it PERL, indicates you haven't really been a part of the perl community or encountered many professional perl programmers.
Incompetent employees usually stick around because they are cheap.
I'm still waffling over whether to block all articles posted by kdawson. He's obviously not a programmer/gamer type geek like many of us which is why I think he makes such poor story selections. But he doesn't always screw up so I don't want to miss the good submissions that happen to occur on his watch. They should let us filter on tags so I can just block all his bad story submissions that people tag with kdawsonsucks type tags - hrm, or maybe the spectrum color from firehose? Submission moderation, ftw.:)
We've had several articles and ask slashdots about indie games where everyone starts listing their favorites. We don't need to encourage money-grubbing people like this article submitter to continue deluging us with their blog "articles" of "top X" lists to make advertising money.
I'd rather take a candidate that'll tell me the honest truth, even if it isn't popular. Setting a timeline for withdrawl pretty much tells Iran/Al Qaida/whoever else "just lay low for a year and a half, then you'll have free rein." It's naive foreign policy.
If a phased withdrawal causes the violent elements to lay low it is certainly a good thing. That laying low is already occurring to a slight extent due to the "surge". Violent people laying low means less violence, and the less violence the more control the current Iraqi government gains. As the americans pull out, the Iraqi government gains even more power and support from the people. There is no need to support a violent group whose goal is making america leave when the legitimate government is accomplishing the same thing. So a phased withdrawal is not as naive as you pretend.
What I wonder is this: is there a way to take photos as reliable documentary evidence anymore? How can you prove that something has not been altered?
I saw a policeman ticket a women in front of my office for using a handicapped parking spot. He used a polaroid camera - the kind which develops a print on the spot - to take a picture of her vehicle and where it was situated. For a second I was asking myself why he was not just using a cheap digital camera and then it dawned on me that answering your question was likely the reason.:)
It's obviously not ironclad, but it probably lessens the likelihood of the photo having been manipulated if it goes into the evidence bag at the crime scene.
If you're upgrading to the latest stable release from a previous version, please read the release notes before proceeding.
I'm trying really hard to not make some disparaging comments. Let's just say that ubuntu is for those who can't figure out how to install debian.;)
To be more helpful, it is indeed possible to simply do an "aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade" but it's safer to follow the detailed instructions in the release notes that advise such things as upgrading the kernel first and making a few other precautions that can help resolve some rare problems that can occur. (e.g. if your system happens to get powered off in the middle of the upgrade)
I played WoW for a few months in 2005 on the Magtheridon PvP server. A guy on the horde side there had 5 accounts and , just as you suggest, all mages and a priest. The interesting thing was that he used a single keyboard and had all 5 computers with a wireless keyboard receiver so that when he typed a key to move or cast a spell they all did it. There was a lot of uproar about it at the time that he was exploiting or cheating, but he made an easy target if you manage to get his characters unsynched from each other enough then it was 5 easy pvp kills for my rogue.:D
Pedophile means attraction to pre-pubescent children. That means no breasts or hips or body hair. The people using the word to refer to attraction to fully developed teenagers, a.k.a. jail bait, are simply using the word incorrectly. If there is one thing we geeks like to do is correct people when they use words incorrectly.:) You don't need to get all conspiratorial about imaginary plots to make being attracted to teen-agers more acceptable.
I need a father who's a role model, not some horny geek-boy who's gonna spray his shorts whenever I bring a girlfriend home from school. What a lame-o. Someone really should just put him out of his misery.
I found the "goodluckwiththat" tag on this story quite amusing considering that the day the slaughter of the Knights Templar occurred was Friday the 13th and many attribute this fact as the source of the superstition that it is an unlucky day.

It's not funny to you since it had to be explained to you, Mr. Excessive Line Breaks. :)

I believe you. I meant to capitalize it, but my pinky seems to be atrophying so I don't push shift hard enough - and of course I didn't preview. ;)

The correct adjectival form is Democratic.

Where do you think the word demagogy comes from? Democracy has always been that way. :)

It's you. I skipped over it when I saw it. :) Perhaps you didn't notice that you can click the little plus signs to zoom in closer?
