I'll use it to add custom extensions to python (along with a python+extensions compiler) that let me interact directly with the hardware and memory.
Wait, is that cheating? No more than letting someone else define C and pretending it's the answer to fucking everything. 870million buffer overflow security vulnerabilities want a discussion on that.
I'm suspicious of anyone who calls HTML 'venerable.' They should call it, "notorious" or "infamous," maybe, "expectorant." Marc Andreesen points out there are just problems with it, and I can't see OOP fixing things.
Hate it all you like, you have to admit that it's been a success by pretty much any measure. Tim got the basics pretty sound.
Go on holiday to fucking India and get your own time off if that's the criteria.
You're either lying, or just don't know how to ask for and take time off. I've worked for multiple American companies and staff take holiday at all of them - a lot of holiday.
I spend more than $10/month on games. Shit, I spend $10/month on games just with one retailer, and they're nowhere near my primary source of new games.
Anything under about $30/month for access to 80% of the games released more than six months ago and I'd be far better off.
If you didn't graduate with a degree in software engineering then you are not really a software engineer.
Really? No. A degree in anything is a fucking degree, and isn't a prerequisite for professional status or taking on a given role.
Shit, you think chartered accountants all have degrees in accounting?
I'll measure someone's software engineering credentials by their knowledge, their practices and their ability to deliver working software, not by the fucking degree they managed to pass.
Don't lie to get the cheaper insurance. It'll invalidate it entirely.
Instead, take the expensive insurance from the second cheapest provider. Use the fact you're now insured to get a valid cheaper quote from your favoured insurer. Now use the 14 day no-fee "I changed my mind" option to cancel with the first insurer.
All legitimate and side-stepping inane ways to measure risk.
Yeah, I don't mind Amazon finding the optimal price in my country for a given item.
They had a serious spanking 15 years ago (or so) when they tried to find the optimal price for an individual. If they try that shit again they lose my custom.
Yeah, doesn't surprise me that it was available for those early home computers, but few people would buy/acquire it - they had access to basic just by booting up, and most people went straight to assembly in some form to exploit the full capacity of the device.
No. Borland Pascal was a rebrand of Turbo Pascal and was object oriented.
Delphi introduced Class and was a much stronger OO language. Syntactically it had a lot of overlap with Borland Pascal but it was very clearly a different language.
I programmed professionally in both. Delphi was an interesting deviation from what I'd done before; Delphi 2 really just stepped away in 'never coming back' way.
Old enough to have not encountered a different language on a computer in your home first.
Fortran tended not to be available on the ZX81, vic-20, C64, Spectrum, Amiga or indeed most DOS or Windows based PCs, where most people first encounter a language, let alone the variants on Logo and other weird shit taught in schools.
Drunken sex is not necessarily rape. Drunk people are accountable for their decision to drive a motor vehicle and are frequently accountable for their choice whether to have sex.
Personally I prefer to avoid drunk women. They're just not attractive - unless I'm very drunk myself, in which case they're legally obliged not to rape me.
Various revenge pornography laws deny the right to distribute images of a particular nature.
I suspect a model release form would suffice, but good luck getting an ex (or colleague that didn't even know you'd taken the pictures) to sign one of those.
Could get interesting if the subject tries to revoke a release form. No idea what happens there. Lawyers get richer, is my guess.
Most people would pay $4-500 though. Still doesn't justify $250 on a new circuit board - an out of warranty repair would cost less than that including call-out charges and 'all parts'.

Shrug. I can use python for that.

keep to strict lunchtimes
I had an interview at a small company (20ish people) and they said that everybody must take an hour for lunch between 12 and 2.
I made it clear within the interview that this was lunacy and left them to it.
At a guess, someone that takes the summer off to look after their kids.
Finish early, ask, "What's next?"
Finish early, find something productive to do, do it.
Help out colleagues that aren't as blessed with spare time.
Gain new skills that'll be valuable to your employer.
Track your estimates against your completion times, use that to help your boss better allocate your time.
Yell when you've tried all those, I'm sure I can find some more options for you.
Which is bullshit.

Latency. So much lag.
Yeah, would be easier, simpler and better for everybody if they just let you download the games and run them locally.
Much as Steam does.
Adding to the list, I was happily subscribed to Metaboli for a fair while.
Depends where. E.g. in Korea they appear to live to grind for virtual items and status in online games.
What the fuck in the previous comment made you think that greed was in any way involved?

Delphi, which is Borland Pascal for Windows
No. Borland Pascal was a rebrand of Turbo Pascal and was object oriented.

Then MS basic on the C64. Some more MS basic on an Apple II. MS basic again on the Amiga.
Curious. You used MS basic instead of the natively available Commodore Basic or Applesoft Basic?

I thought the timeline went
- a few weeks ago: CIA can hack Samsung TVs
- today: Wikileaks release the hacking tool
And I'm not even sure the microphone is necessary.
Well, the TV has a microphone already directed to capture voices in the room and is a nice power supply for the USB stick.
Without the TV a bug would have been planted anyway, but providing it with power would be trickier.

What sort of cunt uses the perjorative 'fags'?
Ironic indeed given you're talking about marines and the Navy.
Hmm, the pound has recovered since the election was called; $280 looks like the low end now:

S&H ?
I'm assuming that's the foreign equivalent to P&P (packaging/packing/parcel and postage/posting).
As you see, P&P is a very flexible term.
