Ok. I'll do that then. Honestly I couldn't give a shit that this girl got caught breaking the law.
Not everything is free or public domain. Performers in the arts and entertainment industry should have the right to charge for their material if they want. Get used to it.
I would download albums and films, and I can personally guarantee that it did not cost the industry any money - simply because as a poor student I couldn't afford to buy them. If I hadn't downloaded them, I just wouldn't have seen them, and that's that.
That doesn't make any sense. It doesn't matter whether you can afford it or not. You're still viewing a movie for free, yet you're getting something out of it (whatever "something" is, it's being stored in your memory -- it's an experience).
And does that mean you would buy all the movies you downloaded once you did come in to the money? If it ever came to the point where you could afford to buy the movies you downloaded, and you don't buy them, the industry does lose money.
By you're logic, someone who can't afford to get in to a non-sold out rock concert should be able to get in for free because they wouldn't be able to get in otherwise. Sounds like BS to me.
While I can't see all cats doing that, I can believe that story.
My cat becomes very confrontational when I have guests over (almost to a fault). Instead of hiding as you would expect a cat to do, it becomes pissed off and starts growling and launching itself at the feet of said guests. Two minutes after they leave it's back to its happy normal self. I couldn't tell you if it would assault someone as bad as you described though.
I've heard of animals being very territorial, but sheesh. That's a little ridiculous.
Sturdy and slobber-resistant, the PetCell isn't just for dogs. PetsMobility's parent company, On4 Communications, is simultaneously rolling out models for kids, the elderly and outdoor sports fanatics who enjoy snowboarding and kayaking.
Sure, because why stop with demeaning just your dog when you can also demean your kids and elderly relations as well?
You could put a bone-shaped, slobber-resistant collar around your kid, or you could go with a slightly cheaper approach and put a football helmet on them with a tall orange bicycle flag taped to it.
Not to be picky, but I wish the Bush administration would have conveniently confused some of the specifics of the issue, and warned the public that all of Sony's products are potentially a security risk.

The king will call the prisoners in any order he pleases, and he can call and recall each prisoner as many times as he wants, as many times in a row as he wants.
So what would stop the King from alternating between the counter and one single other prisioner 2*n*k+n-k times?
Unless I'm missing something, your solution doesn't seem to work.

Sorry - did not intend to make any kind of sweeping statements aginst CTO's. The reason why I even mentioned 'CTO' in my example was because it was a partial truth for me a while back, and I guess I still harbor some bitterness.
In any case, there fortunately isn't any reason to use PL/SQL
I would agree as far as business logic goes. But still, that wouldn't mean there isn't existing legacy apps out there that are using PL/SQL (or something similar -- this was only an example) and would have to be ported.
There's a project for Postgres that allows stored procedure and trigger logic in Java too
I had no idea Postgres (which I know very little about) could do that. You should mention that and any other Postgres tidbits your holding on to the next time a Postgres / mySQL flamewar errupts on/.:)

Well put.
I can see how the business logic existing in the database level would be nice in certain situtations.
But the main reason why I'd never do it is in the event the CTO realizes he/she can save a few bucks by changing database vendors across the board (I'm sure this has never happened [/sarcasm]) would screw you if you had all your business logic existing as PL/SQL (for example). Not to mention business logic at an application level would be more easily ported than logic at the DB level.
Granted you'd be in the same boat if language standards are changed. But I would say those standards are at less risk because most are free and wouldn't tend to concern the CTO enough to change.
Memory management was very tough in 16-bit Windows, but Ozzie decided to stick with it, instead of trying to build a graphics environment of his own. "Because I knew Bill and Steve [Ballmer], after playing with it I talked with them about it," Ozzie says. "I was convinced that they had the will to want to get it right."
I think they had to edit this out:
Ozzie futher recalled "Another reason that helped convinced me was how Ballmer so eloquently stated that 'using their interface was better than getting hit in the face with a chair'."
I used to work in Clips and I heard it was similar to Lisp, but having never worked in Lisp, I don't know to what extent.
Based on the other posts, the syntax looks similar. While the prefix operators were a pain, the language was pretty cool. I'd consider using it again if the need ever arose.
Has anyone heard of Clips? If so, how much different is it from Lisp?
All three functions can be performed much better with cheaper, established technology.

I'm thinking the reason behind all the Google articles (true or otherwise) is because GOOG reports today.
There's a lot of hype to spread around.
Not to mention the 10 years they did the analysis on doesn't seem like a long enough time to draw any reliable conclusions.

And keep in mind that 67.8% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
I'll bet those guys would describe a divining rod as a scientific means to find water.
It's almost as bad as that non-sensical word: irregardless.
Oh come on now. For all intensive purposes it means the same as regardless.
Indeed. It's a perfectly cromulant word.

I wonder how long the movie is. Hopefully it's 3+ hours to simulate the excitement of traveling at 10mph.
