But the updates between 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5 where more like going between Win2k, XP and Vista rather than service packs. Major changes, not just accumulated security updates, were introduced between each, as is my understanding. I haven't had a Mac in a right while, so I'm not entirely sure, but I think that's one of the major arguments. The 10.3.x, 10.4x, and 10.5.x updates were free but didn't introduce major new features.
As to Perl's object model, I couldn't agree more. However, from CPAN you can get Moose and MooseX which really clean things up a lot and hide the nasty bits. For instance, with MooseX::Declare, the following is now valid Perl:
use MooseX::Declare; class Car {
has make => (isa => "Str", is => rw"); # setting a member... they are in a hash type of thing
I just learned about the MooseX stuff yesterday, so of course my example isn't anything super, but as you can see, it's pretty god damned simple comapred to the alternative.
I honestly can't say I've ever had a hypercolor tshirt, either wack or rad. Of course, it could just be that I have no idea what you mean by hypercolor. Are we talking about some sort of rayon thing flourescent dyes like a bad MC Hammer video or what?
I don't think I remember have ever gotten a wedgie before -- I had real fights. And what's a "wack hypercolor t-shirt" anyway? I think we should rename you OverGeneralizationGuy.
Yes, and because the the propaganda value a lot of good scientific progress was made, while the propaganda-free space "exploration" program of today is constantly on the verge of collapse due to budget cutbacks and nay-sayers who would maybe let us have a few robot probes but would never put a man on Mars. Sometimes propaganda is called "marketing," and sometimes it really does make the difference.
Technically, all that was proven was that this Kolodziej kid was able to traverse a distance in a given period of time, not that anyone else, least of all the defendant, was able to do the same. Plus, as far as we know, Kolodzeij did not need to take time out in order to kill anyone.
I may not be a fancy big New York Country Lawyer or anything, but it seems to me that this guy doesn't really have a case. Plus, everyone knows you're not supposed to believe anything until its been posted on at least two different blogs. TV just isn't a reliable source of information anymore.
They already recycled the giraffe from Writing GNU EMACS Extensions (http://www.amazon.com/Writing-GNU-Emacs-Extensions-Glickstein/dp/1565922611/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247442266&sr=8-2) for use on Learning Ruby (http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Ruby-Michael-Fitzgerald/dp/0596529864/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247442309&sr=1-1) -- of course, its not the same giraffe, but its an instance of a giraff -- I guess its meant to be some sort of secret OOP pun... or maybe I'm just reaching to make sense of it all.
Well, your post could be truncated just by saying "No one is saying you don't have the right to live in California..." Seriously, why the fuck would anyone want to move to that place? (or stay there if they started there...)? They have just about every affliction, natural and man-made, I can think of.
It'll do that when it's triangulating off of the cell towers, I think. When I'm inside an old building it'll do that to me, but when I go outside, or here in my apartment, It'll get me within 5-8 meters, which is about as accurate as I'd expect.
I've never owned a stand-alone GPS, but back in January I picked up a Blackberry Storm, which is the first "smart phone" that I've owned. Frankly, if there is anything about this phone that actually justifies having it, it would most definitely be Google Maps, which can talk to the GPS chip in the phone to find out where I am and were I'm going without having to pay for the Verizon Navigator thing or for a separate GPS device. If it's not too cliche, I'd say that it really has changed my life for the better as I used to get lost all the time (with a 5-digit Slashdot ID at age 25, I clearly don't get out much).
... on the specific circumstances of what field you're really in. I'm only 25, but this is something that I've given a lot of thought to. There seem to be certain fields wherein you reach a fairly young age which is still "too old," and these mostly seem to be of the commercial sector where you're not a "professional" in the true sense, or you're not "the boss." For instance, I would assume that someone would be considered at some point "too old" to be a paralegal (at least, I think this would be the case for men), or something similar.
Scientists, Teachers, Lawyers, Doctors -- these are all people for whom age and experience lend credibility and increase their value. "Blue Collar"-type jobs and "Para Professionals" -- they seem to have a shelf life. Computer Science, or CompSci-related activities in the hard sciences, I don't think that anyone is going to look down on you when you're that 50-year-old graybeard with the Sun tshirt under your suspenders (you're part of folklore at that point). A 50-year-old PHP scripter, well, you're going to be surrounded by a bunch of obnoxious kids who like that shitty 'Swordfish' movie. Best to learn FORTRAN and go work at CEBAF or something.
Well, it's definitely an important requirement for being able to contribute to the gene pool, and one can't improve that to which one does not contribute. Unless everyone else counts "staying out of the way" as a contribution.

You can totally make hashes of arrays and arrays of hashes... http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1977

use MooseX::Declare;

method set_make (Str $make) {
$self->{"make"} = $make;

They used science and technology to commit the holocaust, or so I've heard. Does that count?
Clearly, no intelligence was involved in these designs. I guess that solves it.

But it's not a search engine, it's a decision engine.. is it any surprise what they've decided?
use English;
"C=" is ASCII-ism for the Commodore logo, sort of like Apple ][

Do transplant recipients count? Is Steve Jobs no more mythic than before? Inquiring minds and all that....

I smell a doctoral thesis...
No, that's what bottles of whiskey and loaded firearms are for -- the age old treatment for a broken heart.

You have no idea how bad my sense of direction is.

That's a not-too-modest proposal you have there...
