For now, I'll be sitting in a lecture hall, having a PowerPoint read to me.
That pretty much sums up my first 3 semesters of college. It's ridiculous that the online verisons of the classes costed the same amount as the regular ones though. I mean, sure they were exactly the same (read powerpoint shit), but there was almost zero cost to the school for the online one.
You mean Slashdot? That's what it does. Serves Google ads as soon as you visit the website; cleverly disguised as articles. Oh, but only when there isn't Apple 'news' to write about; like Steve Job's gets a haircut or something.
I agree, but it's also pretty easy to take the positive effects of these drugs for granted too. Big Pharm, is doing a lot more for our quality of life than hippies with their wonder herbs!
Frontpage is basically in IDE right? Sure you can write standards complient code with it, but the automated stuff spews out all kinds of non-standard crap.
Microsoft has an AJAX IDE coming out? Isn't AJAX supposed to do away with alot of Windows development , and replace it with browser based apps? I could see Microsofts AJAX IDE crippling Firefox in many 'accidental' ways.
I'd like to know what kind of technology is used to catch cheaters on internet Casinos. Sites like Pokerstars must have some pretty complex systems in place to catch cheaters, as it seems so easy to cheat at first sight. I mean, how hard would it be to have your friends play at the same table as you while on a conference call with them? Maybe I'll try that right now actually...
I agree for the worst offenders like Dahmer, Homolka, Michael Jackson etc. But only if the evidence against them is 100%. It's easy to let someone wrongfully accused out of prison. Not so easy to voodoo them back to like a la Weekend at Bernies 2.
If you put it that way it sounds like he's gotten off easy. But, as soon as he drops the soap once, I'm sure that you wont think he's too lucky anymore!
Mr. Software Engineer meet your new roomy, he goes by the name of BTK.
I've never understood why non-violent criminals are even put into jail. Instead of us taxpayers paying about 25 grand a year for this guy(a number I pulled directly out of my ass, by the way); he should be forced to repay the damage that he has done. And, if it takes the rest of his life, then so be it; just don't let the guy declare bankruptcy (another thing I've never really understood).
Anyways, save jail for the murderers, rapists, and child molesters of the world. Make people like this guy, Martha Stewart, and Bernie Ebbers repay they're debt in other more productive ways.
That actually happened to me a few weeks ago. It was my friends bachelor party, and I was just standing there with a Labatt's in my hand... and all of a sudden... BAM!
I've been hearing a lot about Skype and Vonage lately. Is there any service out there that is totally free, but where you can still call a regular telephone from it? I could see this as just another p2p app, and I'm sure someone could come up with a free version.

But why wouldn't google want to directly compete with the existing IM clients?

I think you're right on the money. Competition is great for inovation, and the economy too!
I could care less Please fix your sig.
I think it depends more on if the press makes a big deal out of this or not. Most Canadians don't follow these things too closely.

Why post anonymously?
Right, but what if he has to give up all of his money? Sounds fair to me.
I agree for the worst offenders like Dahmer, Homolka, Michael Jackson etc. But only if the evidence against them is 100%. It's easy to let someone wrongfully accused out of prison. Not so easy to voodoo them back to like a la Weekend at Bernies 2.
JK about MJ by the way.
There's no way in hell that I'm sending him the money I'm getting from my new Nigerian friend!
It should be here any day now...

Easy, killer.
You must be from Boston!
couldn't care less
Well, I got jumped by a cougar today...
That actually happened to me a few weeks ago. It was my friends bachelor party, and I was just standing there with a Labatt's in my hand... and all of a sudden... BAM!
She made me breakfast in the morning.
You forgot ME, the most wonderful OS ever made.

Does ICQ still have a phone utility?
That's sitll pretty nasty. And this is coming from a guy who just polished off a half pund off beef jerky.
Well... you've just ruined my lunch! I'm not a big fan of worm parts either.
A multimillion dollar niche that I wouldn't waste my time on either...
