    Imagine what a Windows Lock-up would *feel* like...

    Sorry, I guess I was unclear...
    I was referring to the SEO's, being that the better ones would charge more, so high dolar companies would charge more, and well written website would also disappear into obscurity, behind the people who bought the better SEO's.
    Just thought I'd clarify.

    Apparently not since even critics of writing style don't write properly. Here in the US, at least, we like to capitalize our letters... Typically it doesn't bug me, but when you are correcting someone else, try to write perfectly, so you don't seem a hypocrite...

    Oh, I think I'm gonna get flamed on this, and sorry for it being off topic, just hypocrites annoy me.

    Not exactly... They think the regular stuff they CAN see is being held together by stuff they can't... Like when you glue your hand to a phonebook, you can't see the glue, but you know there has to ba a reason the phonebook isn't falling to gather all the "normal matter" in the Earth.

    The point of a search engine is not for the comopanies to be found to sell things to people... the point is for people to be able to find the information they are LOOKING for, thus the most visited, or however x search engine runs things. This DESTROYS that method, so whereas when you now look for "2005 Corvette" Chevy's website comes up, in a few months, it'll be Yo Mama humping a camel, because the pr0n site hosting that crap will be able to pay the most....
    Christ I'm not crying cause my site won't be found, I'm complain cuz I won't be able to find the site I need.

    Can pay for the best SEO, then they will always be at the top of the charts... You might as well just pay Google as a slot for advertising to be posted with the biggest "donation" to the company getting first place

  8. Re:However on Open Source is Not a Career Path · · Score: 2, Informative

    My best friend got his job purely because he started and maintained a very complex website in Perl, in his spare time, in high school. Got the job at 16, 6 yrs ago. He still works there, and now makes good money. Most definately helped his career by picking out the path.

    No that's passionate FRIMwate ;-)

  10. Re:Difference on Cellphone Drivers Drive Like Drunks · · Score: 1

    Here's something frightening... I've done it, though looking back I wonder how... Drove my friend's race-equipped Supra down 183 (Highway in Texas) Fairly heavy trafic, at over 100 (I know, I'm an idiot), while talking on my cell, eating a philly cheesesteak, and listening to him complain that I'm gonna wreck his $80000 car. He offered to let me drive, though... Though I guess that since I don't have a wife, I should wait to see what is really distracting... Talking is possible, but I must say a freaking passenger is MUCH more distracting, though a normal conersation is hardly a big deal.

    Fortran showed it what NOT to do to be Basic!

  13. Re:What about Assembly language? on A Brief History of Programming Languages? · · Score: 1

    If you REALLY must know, I believe it to be a derivative of BASIC... though it's probably some form of Unix shell trapped in a box, reformed to look like BASIC ;-)

    Yes, but there would be a market for one after this, right? Almost every slashdotter would buy one, and many married men too....

    Try reading the man page for portage, I use gentoo on my home box and server, and portage handles binaries as well as cross-compliation.

    Just a suggestion...
