    I hate to burst your bubble, son, but I telnet to port 80, pipe in the HTML and transform it to PDF on the fly using XSL:FO before viewing it in my mind's eye, all printed neatly with page numbers, a TOC, an index, *and* an annotated bibliography!

    You're not even asking the right sorts of questions. Do yourself a favour and please Google "event-driven programming" before posting anything else. Thanks!

    I think I can safely say that I'd rather take a cook's job in a fish & chips shop than go to work for Yahoo. (Free fish & chips, nomnomnomnom.)

  7. Re:Thousands of years? on Former MySQL CEO Mårten Mickos Talks About Managing Remote Workers (Video) · · Score: 1

    I believe that Mårten was referring to useful work, not to make-work vanity projects. The Pyramids are impressive, but they don't really do anything useful.

  8. Oh, shut the fuck up, you spoilt, useless idiot.

    Fishing - and I come from a fisherman family - is nothing like sitting on your ass providing code for a second rate DBMS for the "good enough" generation.

    That spoilt, useless idiot helped make it possible for me to keep the same job working at home for nearly 10 years while living in 4 different countries.

    Along with lots of other folks putting in 15-hour days so you could have a free and libre software to piss on while you're using it, just like anyone else who's ever posted a comment to Slashdot.

    So I'm thinking it's you who might be doing well to follow his own advice there, Junior.

    If I am *arbitrarily*, *for no reason related to my conduct* required to wear 3x as many clothes to do the same job, I'd tend to view that as a punishment, yes, and an unjust one at that.

    P.S. Home worker more often than not, sometimes in my underwear. In other news, water is still wet, and software manuals still get written. Film at 11.

    Most college freshmen spend their first winter break catching up with friends and family, and trying to get laid at various Christmas/New Year's parties.

    Been using it so long myself that I'd forgot it wasn't *the* default.

  23. You seem to have succumbed to the reverse propaganda if you think that gold and diamonds are inherently more scarce and hence inherently more secure as a currency than bitcoin. The fact is that bitcoin are actually a lot harder to mine....

    So would be purple unicorns, but I'm not hearing many suggestions that we adopt them as a medium of exchange.

  24. I like how all the hate on Bitcoins are Anonymous.

    I could have sworn it was the other way round--seems to me like all the big Bitcoins boosters here are ACs...

    Oh, and I think the whole concept is dumber than a brick, and I am not posting AC.

  25. But you failed to figure out how not to get whooshed.

    If you weren't ignorant, you'd know how to use an apostrophe.
