I wrote my code using alleged "web standards". I used Firefox as my development browser. I'll give you 1 guess as to which browser was not compatible with my code. (Hint: starts with the letter 'I' and ends with the letter 'E')
To be fair, it is more accurate to say that IE was not as resilient to my bugs as Firefox and the other browsers (Safari and Opera were also tested). It's still not completely compatible, but I bludgeoned it into submission so that IE is functional. I'm really looking forward to checking it out on Mom's Win98 machine. Ugh.
... it must be brown! Maybe they'll make one shaped like a turd to deter theft. I'll sure be a chick magnet with pickup lines like: "Hey honey, want to listen to some tunes on my new turdPod? Hey, where ya goin?"
.. and Vista is its name. Thousands of underemployed software engineers thank you for providing them with more work porting, patching, and coding in circles.
Well, in "real life"(tm), martial artists "scream" (or rather, "kiai" or "kiap" depending on the language/style of martial art) to throw off an attacker, generate inner power, cause fear in the opponents, and all that good stuff.
So.. this isn't farfetched at all or novel. Now, screaming "like a woman" OTOH, I imagine many martial artists would say they kiai in a rather manly fashion. heh heh
An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition... not just saying 'No it isn't.'
Yes it is!

OK, I suppose I must get back to work...
I'm thinking the "brain" should be distributed in a neural net-like fashion. While there could be a centralized control programmatically, perhaps one node or set of nodes acting as a supervisor at a given time, the system state could be stored redundantly across several nodes. This way, when you break it into a few pieces, each piece would be able to perform independently and thereby neutralize your pitiful human efforts of defense.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to catch my noon space elevator flight...
IIRC, over the objections of the military, Rumsfeld went ahead with the Iraqi invasion with a force much smaller than what was needed to secure the country. There were plenty of troops to drive out Iraqi troops, but not enough to also guard the HUGE explosives cache, 380 tons of goodies, not to mention to secure cities from looting and wanton destruction. Also, much if not most success should be attributed to the rest of the military, not the guy responsible for setting policy at the top.
Why not predict the end of stupid web dev? There is nothing inherent in either (well, Javascript anyway) that mandates poor performance. Less is most definitely more. I think we are about at the peak of "let's cram everything into the site and more" development, but I guess predicting the end of stupid development is like predicting the end of M$.
This just in: IBM engineers are still perfecting the "hottie search" feature. However, they have had no luck so far implementing the "find me a date" feature. Go figure.
We have a name for Republicans like you. We call them... Democrats. Come on in! The water's fine! Sure, we might not have the best scandals or beer at our parties, but hell, somebody's got to govern this place.
I never thought I would look back at the Reagan era with nostalgia.
Yes, I know it's frowned upon, but hey, when you suck otherwise, what's a nethacker to do?
Please don't call the authorities! They will repeatedly type jjjjjjj in my general direction!
You DID copy the saved game file didn't you?? I wasted many an hour on nethack in my day. I have intentionally not learned to play any of the "modern" RPGs, lest I become a WoW statistic. Now I just waste my days reading/.
there are fewer artists that actuall make good *albums*
I don't think this is true. "The industry" has gotten very good at squeezing the lifeblood out of music, so it is, as it always has been, very hard to make good music and make a living. A lot more people, including myself, are finding it so easy to record and produce their own music that there are thousands of bands making decent music that few will ever hear. I think the industry has become more and more tone deaf over the years, but there is still great music being made that never gets any airplay or exposure.
... the hookers and the bar tab could have easily been the explanation for $3k of expenses. Google's interview procedures don't reimburse for that yet, though I hear you can get it for free once you're hired.
I don't know about "most people", but I find the iPod ear buds to be really uncomfortable. Do I have to pay $$$ for those gel-like earbuds? I hope Apple (Steve, listen up dude!) has the sense to work on a better ergonomic design.
Right now my phones of choice (read: cheap but acceptable) are the cheapo GE headphones with mic attachment. Decent bass response and I don't feel like I have sticks in my ears.
Hey, what are you waiting for? Download my new mp3, War Song At High Noon, because it wouldn't be war without a war protest song.

From what I hear, the new iPods should come with iCondoms as well.
