is that whenever a window for some reason crawls to an end, everything is lost.
For instance, I'm a big fan of Comedy Central (daily show), but watching it at my job is a pain in the ass during noon. I don't know if the site is really busy or if its the traffic inside, but the Flash player just goes "boing" and all my open windows are lost forever.
Please, could you teach these guys about a multi-threaded environment? thanks!
He was making a joke about the daughter of Frank Zappa named "Moon Unit" Zappa, and I must agree I couldn't find a REAL-LIFE name weirder than this one on top of my head;)
About the Wheel of Time: it's an amazing read even though the story really wears out in the final volumes. It's sad that the author recently passed away as the upcoming 12th book was supposed to conclude the series. Brandon Sanderson is working on finishing it and I'm really wondering how they'll be able to close so many broad & ongoing plots in a single book. For that alone it will sure be an interesting read.
I liked reading the link you provided and hold that true in some debates, but please explain further the parallel? I don't really see it... using the example, wouldn't it mean "less tailors" (outsourced jobs) and "more glaziers" (jobs for U.S. citizens) - assuming that vandalism is the price of oil?
This analogy ain't right either... but like I said, I just don't see the parallel. We're talking about jobs in the U.S.... OK, maybe we had 1 manager that made 100K a year supervising offshore operations... but now instead we have 5 employees here doing each 20K. That may be the same amount of money, but it's more jobs (and happy people in the U.S.)...
And I don't want to further speculate on how this might also affect the local economy (need for local transportation, more people having money in a town = more specialized shops emerging and so on...), but I think it's not a simple matter of "we have a set amount of money distributed amongst the population, everything is preserved nothing is created" line of thoughts.
Spell: Fear of Girls
Level: 1
Description: The caster gains +10 protection from all Charm effects and +5 bonus to Charisma checks from female characters. The components required are 5 mod points on Slashdot. The casting time varies depending on how fast the player's computer can boot when he arrives home Friday night. Once the OS is loaded, an invisible social shield will slowly form around the caster which lasts 48 hours. This shield protects the caster from answering the occasional phone call from Chaotic/Evil Warriors and Rogues that may invite him to go out during the weekend with vague ambitions of getting laid tonight. It may break at any time if the computer is left unattended for more than 30 minutes (the caster may be granted cumulative +1hrs grace periods per visit to the mystical porn elf). When protected by the shield, the caster is immune to any afterthoughts from realizing the last time he has spoken to a girl for more than two minutes was five years ago and that it was answering a survey over the phone - and can thus focus on the careful study of his spellbook undisturbed.

By the way, this article seems like a great ad for Intellevate (company name mentioned seven times in eight paragraphs!) with very slim content.
This came along with the Automatic Update bundle today:
"Install this update to prevent or resolve an issue in which Windows Update and Automatic Updates can no longer download updates after an Access Violation error occurs when using the Automatic Updates service. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer."
Sweet irony. At least that's refreshing from the attacker that could compromise my computer - I'm really tired of this guy.
How come I *may* have to restart my computer - haven't you tried it on one of your box beforehand or do you really have no clue?

... sounds like divine intervention to me :)

break glass, that ain't a real vibrato
..when will the one-iPhone-per-middle-class-white-man campaign start?! I can't bear the view of those still not having one :(
Actually, I'm jealous, I'd really like to have an OLPC =)

My 2 cents :)

Hmm, at first glance, they cranked up the Gamma in the 64-bit version. Everyone get ready for the 128-bit generation and buy your sunglasses!

this still makes some great publicity!
