  1. Re:Celebrate on Born To RUN: Dartmouth Throwing BASIC a 50th B-Day Party · · Score: 1

    Nice, love the second link/picture. It's nice to know that despite some differences (cloths, equipment) some things never change! :-)

  2. Celebrate on Born To RUN: Dartmouth Throwing BASIC a 50th B-Day Party · · Score: 1

    I'm going to celebrate by making each of my kids write a simple program in BASIC. They can start on 4/20 and have to be complete by 4/30.

    It's how I got started by gum and if it was good enough for me, and it was, than it's good enough for them!

    You forgot - 2 responses pointing out that the past tense of breed is bred, not breeded.

    I propose it go between 8 responses... and 1 response...

    In other words some completely off topic response that points out the original person asking the question is either bad at grammar or can't spell.

    Absolutely, I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space...

  5. And here I thought the answer was the NSA tells them and they know because they have root access to these systems.

    The fact that it's actually through real police efforts actually makes me feel a tiny bit better.

  6. Conflicted on Wal-Mart Sues Visa For $5 Billion For Rigging Card Swipe Fees · · Score: 1

    I feel so weird saying this... But, Go Walmart? I guess.

    Anyway, as another poster pointed out it's about time someone went after them. Maybe taking 5 billion from them will be a real wake up call.

    Exactly. I am no big fan of Microsoft but the way I see it, no matter which vendor they choose, we are quickly moving to a model where class will begin everyday with:

    How is this a Republican thing?

    Perhaps because the Senator who proposed the amendment to Senate Bill 137 is a republican? Or that the two cosponsors are also republicans? (Senators Patton, Balderson and Hite)

    I'm not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing with your overall statement but a quick check on the linked article and the bill itself makes it obvious that the republicans are the ones going to bat for the existing dealerships.

    in this case it seems that free market = freedom to collect campaign funding from the market.

    Doh! You're are correct sir. Can't believe I forgot that, I certainly saw the teabagger troll enough in it's heyday.

    I don't get that, I see nothing but observed truth in that comment. Oh well, trolls gonna troll I guess.

  18. Re:Nice to be at the top of the food chain on 200 Dolphins Await Slaughter In Japan's Taiji Cove · · Score: 1

    Cows and Pigs are farmed and raised specifically for food. Until the Japanese start using domestication processes that ensure the survival of dolphins for many generations to come I don't really care which animal is more intelligent. I worry more about extinction - we've put measures in place to ensure the long term survival of cows and pigs, dolphins, not so much.
