XML is non-convertable.
It's as much 1040 as it is 1060 as it is -940 (MX = 990, which is before the L). All of which are wrong answers. It's like the Roman "divide by nero error".
Has anyone had any luck with these stock tips? None of them seem to be panning out for me. I wonder if I am not acting fast enough. I've really taken a beating on some of these.
Fortunately, I should have significantly more money to invest shortly, as soon as I get a rather large sum from a new online friend and business associate and new friend, Mr. Emmanuel Obi from Africa, of all places.
You wouldn't be able to use it to prevent the next 9/11
You are correct. The next 9/11 was predicted, and did occur. In fact, 5 have occurred since then (9/11/02, 9/11/03, 9/11/04, 9/11/05, 9/11/06). </joke>
However, a similar catastrophic event was communicated and prevented. It was the infamous "10/25 event" (very meaningful to people in a parallel universe - pretty meaningless to you and I). It would have been a huge terrorist event, had it not been prevented. Good thing this was communicated from the future. The fact that it never happened is the reason why you never heard of it.
Others have mentioned the conversion process that could exist on the phone.
One thing to consider: By statistically laying out the alphabet, with high frequency letters spread over all keys, you increase the likelihood that a phone number will spell something in the NEW system.
Right now, the numbers 0,1,5 and 9 have very little use (because they only have the letters JKLWXYZ on them), In this new system, there would be 9 numbers with the nine most popular letters on them.
So you'd just need to know which system 1-800-HOTnWET uses - old or new. Unconverted, it might be a carwash, converted it might be for phone sex.
Tip #2: My belief is that the end-of-year-rally will continue, and October 2006 to October 2007 will be a good year in the market (with most of the gains early). If I recall correctly, it almost always is, in years of the mid-term elections.
Tip #3: One stock prediction you can rely on: "It will fluctuate."
Um, I won't post the usual checklist of problems (scroll up to an earlier message for the checklist). But the obvious problem with this is that two people with this solution cannot initiate communication with each other.
I send an initial email to you. I'm not on the white list. Your email client writes back to me. You're not on my white list. So I never get your challenge.
You may be able to work around this issue by auto-adding anyone that I email to, to the white list. But then is that a good idea? (ok, so I send an "unsubscribe" message. That just OK'd someone to my white list.)
The secondary issue with this is that it would be trivial to write a spam sending program to listen for replies, and reply back.
The final problem is that you are putting a burden on the sender, so it's a pain. Exactly how would this work with online newsletters (for instance)?
The doctor, the welder and the forest rangers are not setting long term decisions and policies regarding the internet.
Actually, the doctor, welder, and forest ranger are making decisions which affect policies regarding the internet. They are voting for the policy maker (or more likely choosing not to vote).
I remember when Unisys was formed, and used the slogan "The power of two". In 1990, when their stock plunged (from nearly 50 in 1988 to less than 3), Scott McNeally (of Sun) supposedly commented that the slogan had to do with their stock price.
Wait until the password has been accepted before offering to save it.
I agree with the need, but how can the browser tell if a website has accepted your password? Whether it's accepted or denied, a web page comes back. It's the content of the web page that tells you, the user, that it wasn't accepted.
Perhaps a box should stay on screen until you close it (with "keep" or "discard" password). Then you can try it, and verify, and then let Firefox know the results.
A shame you're modded as Funny and not Insightful.
Reading the reply above mine from Jason Potkanski, Citizendium Core Tech Team, turned me off the project. Geez, accept some feedback graciously. My reaction in reading his reply was "what an ass". Best of luck with that project - you won't get my patronage, ever, for one stupid, signed comment. Not that I matter, but I'd think in start-up mode, every eyeball counts.
Bottom line, if you can't say it, and can't easily spell it, you cut out a lot of people. It doesn't take long to figure out how to say or spell Yahoo, Google, Amazon, or GoDaddy. But Citizendium isn't something that flows off MY lips. I have no idea what sylLABle I'm supposed to emPHAsize.
My gut reaction when reading the headline and seeing the Sun logo was "Stupid Slashdot - Sun's never made any headway in the Data Center". Then I see it's Schwartz's blog. I guess Sun's datacenter strategy now is just to declare it dead.
An interesting question would be "Hey Sun, do YOU still have a data center?" Of course they do.
- What do you think is the most important skill every programmer should posses?
Steve Yegge:
Written and verbal communication skills. [Like how to spell the word "possess"]
Update, 1:14 p.m. ET: The above post was changed to say IE7 would be released this month. Microsoft declined to confirm whether it would release IE tomorrow as part of its patch process, only to say that it planned the release sometime this month.
I think it DID say tomorrow, and has since been updated.
funded by IBM, the world's biggest computer company.
...funded at the beginning of the trial by the world's biggest computer company. Funded at the end of the trial by the world's second largest computer company (since HP is now larger than IBM) See HP and IBM last 4 quarters numbers.
I had no idea what a tagging system was (and plenty of people don't)
Agreed. Most taggers on slashdot don't seem to have a clue, and like to use it as a way to add an editorial comment. Like tagging something "yes", "no", "maybe", "slownewsday" or "duh". Worthless. Do you think anyone's ever going to come back and search for all articles with the tag "yes"?
Imagine (diddly do diddly do slashdot analogy time)...
It took me a minute to figure out what the heck you meant by the above line. But then, after a chuckle, I read the rest of your message, awaiting the "Scooby-doo ending" where the mask gets pulled off, and *surprise*, it's the RIAA underneath, saying that they would have gotten away with it if not for you meddling slashdotters...

Now they've put in a box for burial?
I wonder if Reiser 4 "file" system is hidden inside of a cake.

Does the Reiser 4 File System involve a Cake?
I think it DID say tomorrow, and has since been updated.
