Less than 0 people are being born? What GP obviously means is that more people are being born again than being born, leading to a net negative birth rate.
Starting in 81... that's *exactly* how long I've been alive.
Early last century they amended the constitution so that nobody could be president longer than two terms. Looks like we may have to take another hack at it, something about families to counteract this dynasty bullshit.
Obviously you haven't heard about the viral internet smear campaign about Barack Obama "being a muslim". The facts are he had non-practicing Muslims for a father and stepfather, and attended local schools instead of expatriate schools in Indonesia. Those facts, combined the fact that he's the N-word, and enough hearsay and outright lies, are enough for most people to jump on this "Obama Is A Muslim Terrorist Trying To Dismantle The USA Or At Least It's Plausible Enough To Me That I'm Scared To Vote For Him" wagon.
Guess who's behind the smear campaign? That's right, Mike Huc^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HMitt Ro^H^H^H^H^H^H^HJohn McCai^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HGeorge W. Bu^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HHillary effing Clinton. This move will all but ensure that if he is nominated, he will not be elected.
If she makes it (which she almost certainly will) I am voting green. At least the Republican that will be taking office next January is a bit more moderate than the incumbent.... I hope....
Whereas you guys say lift, loo, and colour instead of elevator, bathroom, and color, and yet *somehow* we still get the gist of what you're trying to say.
English is a pretty widespread language, and regional/generational variance in any language is completely normal -- that's how languages evolve. There's no "right" version of English, but they don't teach you that until college (that's right, screw you, Junior High English teachers!!).
If you really are pissed off about this, write to fox news and complain (yourcomments@foxnews.com). The only thing that is going to make Fox News budge is if they realize they have offended their viewing demographic sufficiently.
C'mon, people, bitching on Slashdot isn't going to change the world. Be part of the solution.
Yes, that's how to be a *typical* IT manager. I'm guessing OP wants to be a *good* IT manager.
The answer: enjoy spending your whole life swimming in bullshit, taking the fall for your developers, never seeing your ideas realized *up* the chain of command, risking being fired for standing up for your ideals, and being hated by 80% of the company.
I've known only a few IT managers like that. On the occasions when they weren't run out of the company by way of mob rule, I actually enjoyed being a developer.
If I'm not mistaken, the amount of data that can be lost to a single corrupted bit with two-way encryption depends on the block size. But a well defined checksum over the encrypted data ensures that some of that data can be recovered, and redundant storage can help this issue further.
But even in the worst case, the cost of losing tons of business and tons of money in lawsuit settlements due to your customers' personal information being compromised far outweighs the cost of the same data being obliterated completely. There is no reason not to encrypt, and smart sysadmins know this.
A well-configured Mongrel deployment of a Rails app will create a virtual server process cluster which speeds up concurrent access considerably, reducing the strain on the server during high-traffic periods. Of course, your baseline speed isn't heavily affected.
Incidentally though, I've never encountered a speed problem in Rails that couldn't solved by rewriting the more complex ActiveRecord code in native SQL. But that could just be me.
No, FFR comes *from* FOR. Religious permissiveness is the only way to create an egalitarian society. Banning religion is no better than state religion and creates underground vigilante groups that could threaten to undermine society.
Get rid of religion You'll have an easier time rounding up all the sex offenders and putting them on a barge out at sea. Short of forced brain surgery or the abduction of every baby born to religious parents, religion is here to stay.
As for the subtle implication that religion causes sex offenders, get a clue.
1. Yes, we could, until such point as the CO2 concentration in our atmosphere became unhealthy. And then we'd evolve to photosynthesize... I'm liking this idea better and better. All hail the plant people and their new reign of terror!

I guess we're not engineers, then, since we don't measure anything.
This is obviously Clinton camp.
And if you read my entire post, you'll find that's exactly what I said.

I think you're in the wrong party there, chief.
Linguistic preferences aside... bash it all you want. People are still going to use it.
While I'll agree that it's inaccurate, "bathroom" is so ubiquitous here in the states that there's almost no chance of confusion.

Offtopic but FWIW, you can use "<" for "<". Gotta escape your special chars because of the html-like markup.

The result is nonviable and happens in nature, although it is exceedingly rare.

Screw it -- there's still a tether. I'd be gagging and puking like nobody's business. Now, when they make it work with bluetooth...
