I apparently just look at the world in a much too black and white light.
In the amendments to the Constition, I always thought that article III says a warrant is needed to search your property "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects".
Article VI says "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury....and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation"
So how the Patriot act allows the government to search without a warrant or hold individuals without telling them what they are being held for or disclosing anything else to the public is beyond me.
I don't say this to criticize Bush. I only say it because I think are Constitutional rights are being hammered on all the time.
All it basically amounts to is the fact that rights that are written into the Constition and it's amendments are being taken away, and that sucks.
Whether 3,000 people died, or 30,000. It doesn't make it right.
I don't really understand why people argue the patriot act/constitution and Abu Gharib in the same conversation though. It's not the same thing. It was a little more than college hazing though. It was prisoner abuse.
that depends on what you mean by "rainy". I know, as you have stated, that Memphis has more rain overall the Portland. But I would bet that Portland has more days, or hours of rain than Memphis does....or maybe I'm just bitter because the constant drizzle has started in Portland and we probably won't see the sun again until May.
It's like the God fallacy... Because we have nothing to explain it a single "supreme being" must have done it. ...are you trying to say Jesus Christ like's playing with laser pointers...
Sparkle aside, if you want to get a taste was what XAML is and how it can be leveraged with code and the.Net framework behind it, then go check out this MSDN TV episode:
Probably won't get many screen shots until after PDC. That's one of the benefits of dropping 2k is to get your hands on the stuff first. Everyone at the conf. is getting a copy of what is currently available. The first early developer release is later this year. I don't need screen shots, just give me the specs.
Second, are you somehow suggesting that the social welfare of minorities like the Iraqis and muslims is somewhat less valuable than an unemployed person in the US?
Hell yes. Although, I would replace the word "valuable" with "important". Take care of your own first, then help others. It's kind of like how I give money to charity, but I don't give away so much that my kid can't eat.
huh. in 1993 I went into the 4067 MOS. Can't remember the exact description, but it was a computer programmer job. Somehow, I managed to go directly to the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany, GA and stay there for four years. There wasn't too much mess duty or anything like that. One week of rifle range a year, one week at the pistol range and usually once in your four years there (for some reason if that was your first assignment, it became your only assignment) you had to stand guard duty at a warehouse that held some weapons and chemical stuff. Other than that, it was pretty clost to a normal IT job. Oh, we also had your standard parades, monthly forced march around the base and stuff like that. But they were usually before normal working hours, or you made up some time. As for education, a lot of it was OJT. Spent about a month in Quantico for an ADA class. A few of my buddies went to some java and powerbuilder classes. It definately wasn't bleeding edge, but it wasn't quite as bad as you described either. Of course, I fell into the category of getting out after four years because there was big money calling. That was the one big problem I remember the 4067 MOS having.
He's not JUST pleading guilty. He's pleading guilty and providing information/evidence against the other six. Which tells me he was probably involved somehow.
That said, I still think the way he was treated is bullcrap. Guilty or not, some of his rights that we have (supposedly) guaranteed to us in this country were taken away. Sure a lot of people will say "He was guilty, who cares." Yeah, a lot of people don't care until one day maybe they get falsely accused, get snatched up, and aren't given the rights of the accused that is expected. I can't find the part in the constitution that talks about "If it's a matter of national security, then we rewrite the rules."
I bought way more CD's when I was using Napster. It made it much easier to check out some new (or old) artist that you had maybe just heard in passing, or was recommended by a friend. Sure, there are still ways to check out music, but none of them are as easy as napster was.
there ain't no party like a west coast party, cause a west coast party don't sto..... nevermind.
Actually, I have in-laws and friends working in the midwest and I know stories like this just blow them away. At places where they work, not only is it unheard of, but it's downright unacceptable! Then again, also take into consideration this article is about Pixar and I can't imagine anyone there would do ANYTHING that might be considered stifling creativity.
I've lived in Georgia, and I've lived in Oregon and I can tell you that both (at least around the big metro areas) are very diverse. I think the ethnic groups that make up the diversity in Portland and Atlanta are a bit different though. Portland has way more people of Asian decent compared with Atlanta, and Atlanta seemed to have more people from African and European cultures. At least that seems to be my experience with both cities. All in all though, both places are very diverse.
As for the redneck hillbillies, my vote goes to Alabama. I met some of the wierdest people in that state. It was also the one state where I was just completely blown away and at a loss for words. I stopped at a gas station to fill up and use the bathroom and around back there were two doors. Where you might be used to seeing a sign that said "Men" and "Women", these signs said "Blacks" and "Whites". No joke. This was in 1994.
ATTBI just raised their prices on me again this week. I turned in my modem and had the service disconnected just now. Screw it. I'll deal with dial up for a while, if it means I don't have to read AT&T's letters saying "We are bumping up the price because we provide a good quality service and we think it is worth more." Ok, fine. I don't.
We use Routing Recipient, Footnotes, Comments and Track Changes all the time here.
So the argument that "there are too many useless features" doesn't quite hold water. To some people they are useful.
The problem I see, is that they are trying to make one product do too many different things all the time. There should be an easy, scalable way to turn on/off most every feature in the program so that if the user isn't competent enough to do it, then at least an administrator will be able to set it up so as to be useful and less confusing to said user.
Did you ever stop and think that maybe you are doing something wrong?
I'd be willing to bet that.NET does work on Windows. Just a guess. Actually, not so much a guess as a fact. I've been developing.NET apps for over a year now.

Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that you CAN never find anything in the MSDN.
In the past six months I've found everything that I've gone to MSDN to search for.

Uh, it's backed up by an aspx page, client side and server side code.

Do you really think they will be using windows to deploy nukes and other ordinance? I think not.
that's because,

the pump jockey at the station I usually stop at has a shirt with a patch on it that says "Bob"

I'd be willing to bet that
So, I'm guessing you are too young to remember the Bills and Giants in 91, I think it was.
Talk about the edge of your seat. Damn.
