If you truly couldn't care less about what your team is doing, then they aren't your team and/or you're not a team player.
Or your company's definition of "team" is simply a collection of people working under the same manager, where each person might be working on completely unrelated systems. For instance, although I'm very social at work, I am the sole developer of one particular system. My system interacts with dozen of other systems, but no one working on those other systems in on my team. Do I think my team is "agile"? Hell no! But upper management seems to throw that word around a lot.
Switching to a RESTful design usually reduces the need for cookies (and completely eliminates session state cookies). Perhaps more developers will make their sites RESTful in order to comply with this retarded law.
Some body armor, perhaps a viscous gel embedded with carbon fiber, seems wise! Maybe a helmet to keep facial features from being torn removed.. Frost burn, too.
Whenever I want to store something securely on Gmail (e.g. a text file containing a list of passwords), I encrypt it with 256-bit AES, then include it as an attachment in an email to myself.
It happened to me as well back in August. My 12.1" iBook would turn on, but the screen would stay black and the fan would spin full blast. Other times, it would turn on for about a second or two, then power off. It was just out of warrantee, so I paid my local Apple retailer to have the repair guy establish whether the problem was due to a broken logic board. Indeed, the logic board was culprit. The repair guy said that, given the price of a replacement logic board, my best option was just to sell off my iBook for parts... so he left it in pieces. I still haven't got around to selling any of its parts. It's currently sitting in a box in my closet.:(
Luckily, only two weeks prior to my iBook dying, a friend of mine sold me his 12" Powerbook for $500 CAN. Talk about great timing!
You know, I think this is the first I've run into someone I know on Slashdot! I had Tyson over for turkey soup a couple of weeks ago, and he also complained about how I'm never on MSN. I'll see what I can do.;)
Hypothetically, let's say you've discovered a vulnerability in a major vendor's software. You reported the vulnerability to them almost a year ago, and they assure you that they're still working on a fix. Would it be illegal in Canada or the US to sell code which shows how to exploit the vulnerability (say on eBay)? How about just going public with it (giving it away... say on Slashdot)?
This "emotiflags" concept sounds awfully similar to the "current mood" flags MySpace uses for its blogging interface. I'm implying that MySpace created the concept; it's just one example of prior art.
By the way, here's one of the most common causes of spinning beach ball syndrome. An application tries to communicate with a server, but the developer just assumes that the communication will succeed and doesn't bother to start another thread. Sure, eventually NSConnection will time out. But until then, the frustrated user is stuck with a spinning beach ball.

Is there something people want to run besides Emacs?
Vim. :)
Also, google docs edit --title "Shopping list" --editor vim is pretty slick
There is actually a resurgence right now in deep neural network though.
Here's a Google Tech Talk on the subject of deep belief nets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyzOUbkUf3M
The same prof (Geoffrey Hinton) also has a video tutorial here: http://videolectures.net/mlss09uk_hinton_dbn/
Yes, Kahan summation helps (as long as the compiler doesn't break it), but it doesn't completely eliminate the problem. Shewchuk summation, on the other hand, does: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/393090-binary-floating-point-summation-accurate-to-full-p/
That was truly horrifying.
It's best just not to feel anything.

He should also wear ear plugs ;)
I highly doubt that: Windows and OS X have completely different audio architectures.
Don't act like "the mods" are some separate elite group: they're regular users like you and I.

Thanks! I'll check it out :)

My guess is that Apple will only allow third-party developers to create widgets. That said, a widget written in Cocoa can be VERY powerful.

I really appreciate what you're doing.
Go listen to these albums:
BT - "Binary Universe"
Tipper - "Surrounded"
Hybrid - pretty much anything by Hybrid
If you think it's okay to drive after having 2 drinks, you're an irresponsible bastard IMO.

Here's a site that's already using the term "emotiflags" to mean "emoticons holding flags":c otland.gif

You'd probably be better off with a random string generator and a keychain. Here's a simple generator:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
unsigned short i;
srandomdev();
for (i = 0; i < 24; i++) {
putchar(random() % 94 + 33);
}
putchar('\n');
return 0;
}
