Scientist just discovered that air is not completely free! Researchers at Phillips Morris institute have completed a study that calculates the number of millicalories required for each breath of fresh air. This study is demonstrates that the air you breath is not entirely free but requires expenditure of energy and coordination of dozens of different muscles. This study is being release just prior to the companies announcement of a new product that uses a rechargable battery operated turbo-enhanced tobacco injection system.
I have a lot of respect for the developers of putty and winscp both are windows based open source project and work wonderfully. I have even given up using samba altogether now and use winscp exclusively as a file manager and file transfer.
The regular expression support of languages like Python, Ruby, and even C# trump that of Perl.
And what do you base this comment on - which is stated as fact with no supporting reference or valid points.
I remember reading somewhere where a scientist postulated that there might be the remains of dinosaur or even earlier earth-based lifeforms in space, yes in orbit around the earth. When a large scale meteor hits the earth with enough force there will be ejecta which is sent into orbit around the earth or even further. After all we have rocks from Mars on our planet!
So the next Jurassic Park series could include a plot where a moon based research team finds chucks of frozen dehydrated dinosaurs with intact DNA - so maybe we could have the next Jurassic Park situated safely on the Moon but when the experiment goes not as planned, due to chaotic influences, the moon based is ravaged and extraterrestial lawyers in spacesuits are gobbled up like popcorn.
On a more serious note this maybe how life spreads through a solar system. There are probably forms of bacteria or even self replicating pieces of protiens that get transport to other planets via catastrophic collisions and survive the trip.
If only they could find some DNA sound like a clone of these little fellas would make some great servants being established tool makers and all.
On a serious side it would be interesting to see what the development of the nominal human code of ethics (ie thou shall not kill) would have been if there were some creatures alive today positioned between modern humans and chipanzees in terms of intellect.
Yes while the democrates may be "Tax and Spend" the current administration is about "Tax Breaks and Spend".
While I dislike the former the latter is certainly the path to future ruin.
OT yes I know, but came across this nicely put piece by noted journalist Billy Don Moyers observed that 'the Republican right came to Washington to start a revolution and stayed to run a racket. It has become a game of ideological flim-flam, a scam in which all manner of distracting hoo-hah - abortion, judicial activism, even "the war on terra" - is used to obscure the fact that the government has been taken over by people who are using it to make money for themselves and their friends.'
Since alcohol has a lower viscosity than water I wonder how fast a human swimmer could swim in vat of alcohol. Any takers? Now that I got thinking about this if you had an ideal fluid with no viscosity could you swim at all?
Actually this research should team up with the Australian and see how fast a swimmer could swim in a tub of congealed black tar
It is amazing that they are successful enough to warrant the amount of energy they spend in ah... marketing.
I actual know a guy who was suckered in for over $180,000 including a good portion of his 401k. This fellow had the balls to have his story written up and printed in the local newspaper. His employment at the time was a personal finance consultant - hard to believe but true.
He made 2 trips to France and the scammers just kept on milking him for money. First it was the very expensive solvent to remove the marks from the money. Then he actually got to see the big trunks of cash with NBS printed on the $100 dollar bills. From that point on - greed, centered in the old brain, took over and he paid for things like 15k for custom fees, 12k for bail, or 10k bribes, on and on until a he was wrung dry.
If you can show fundamental identity of components (aka musical dna) of a musical work at what point will you be able to say one of these two pieces is infringing on the IP of the other!
Have we made absolutely certain books and movies are not degrading the minds of our children and video games and all computerized representation of violent and sexual acts are the cause of an increase of depraved sociopaths.

Ya who pays the tax that is the big question. The only one that make sense is to tax the buyer.
Since any state that requires in-state businesses to collect tax on an out of state buyer, just lost that business - as they will move operations to a tax free state. Elected Gov't officials don't usually like putting their own businesses at a disadvantage.
Now if the buyer is being taxed then a business in Idaho has to spend time and money collecting tax for the state of Florida if they make a sale in Florida. And what legal power does the state of Florida have against a business in Idaho. Not much. So the only thing that really makes sense here is a Federal Sales Tax like Canada! ha ha I pity the poor politician that makes the proposal...
It puts local mom-and-pop operations at a disadvantage. Why should I purchase locally, even if it's the same price, when I can just "buy it over the internet, tax free". It puts all the retailers on the same level.
What about mom-and-pop operations on the internet. I much overhead do you think it would take to track and collect taxes for 50 states and remit payment to each?
As far as same price goes the the shipping cost equalizing things out.
My wife owns a small mom internet operation selling hot sauce. Her gross is around 100k per year. For her to install software, collect, and follow the regs for each state would put her out of business. However what States don't take into account is that she pays payroll taxes, property taxes, inventory taxes, income taxes the UPS truck that pickups her orders and deliver inventory pay taxes, she pays taxes on her IT infrastructure, etc. In this case the state of Idaho does indeed benefit...
Notice how he lacks any concrete examples. Lots of weasle words and inference but nothing concrete. How does this fellow explain Apache which dominates and Microsoft and recently decided to emulate several important design concepts. Or how about Mozilla and XUL based graphical interface layout and specification that again Microsoft is emmulating with XAML? Many many other example abound.
Then you are probably doing something wrong. Perhaps you are creating a large array with a push and the memory footprint increased until the system started thrashing.
I often use perl to process large amounts of data such as demultiplexing binary data and doing some bit and byte swapping. I rewrote the application in C and increased the speed by less than 10%, wasn't worth the extra week of development. Another case in point I have a C based parsing program that analyzes C source to produce metrics like lines of code per function, complexity metric, indentation depth, etc. Several years later we rewrote the application in perl at a 4 to 1 reduction in sloc. The preformance (which was not an issue) was again within 10% of the C based approach.

Ya and then if you want something done there will always be "more the one way to get do it".

Did you every think that? Uh? But then again as the old saying goes "Life will find a way"
You can never trust those Finlander's .... oh wait .....
Well about the quoted quote....

Maybe they can buy all the necessary components on ebay!
Seriously archeologist have decoded all sorts of dead languages, decoding digital (assuming you can still pick out the bits) would be easier.

Why would you bother with keyboard acoustic attacks, when you could use a TEMPEST attack?
Homer Simpson can write?
Good joke. However your sig needs some attention.
"Alchohol, cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems" -Homer Simpson
hmmm so it is the cause or solution to poor spelling?
The reminds me of a famous quote of a drunken friend of mine. "Alcohol may not solves life's problems but it does put them on hold"
