I've recently been trying out Dreamweaver CS3 and I like much of what it has to offer so far. I won't however touch Fireworks. Though maybe the newest version has improved along with Dreamweaver. Though I'm skeptical as to if what the DW can do would save me much time.
I like to hand code. WYSIWYG editors tend to make a mess of code and for those that don't, they give everything names that sometimes make it difficult to figure out what is what.
And the code is more portable when done by hand. Works well in any text editor. Whereas code from one WYSIWYG may blow up another because they like to format their code differently. Not necessarily breaking functionality in the browser, but making the code less readable and more difficult to hand edit.
That sorta sounds like a positive to me. It teaches you to pay attention to your surroundings which I honestly find difficult in GTA type games.
Is your complaint that San Andreas was too large? I played both GTA3 and Vice City and liked the size of things. I think something on an even larger scale would be cool.
Or did the larger scale of things become a detriment to cohesive design and layout of the cities (just like the real world)?
What on earth do they mean by saying consumers can 'continue to enjoy content protected by AACS.' Consumers don't enjoy AACS. Conusumers don't care. It doesn't help them. They don't need content protected. They just want to watch it. Encryption doesn't help them do that, it makes it more difficult.
While I'm sure there are many people that rate the teachers based on thier general dislike of their educator, I'm sure there are also many that are willing to give an honest appraisal, positive or negative.
Maybe instead of going on witch hunt, maybe those teachers should sit back and honestly ask themselves what they can do to be better teachers. Maybe they ask for some feedback from their students, the parents and their fellow teachers.
What about snipers? Are they not supposed to "look" at thier target before pulling the trigger?
Perphaps it's less about a sixth sense, and more about making use of or augmenting the senses you have.
When you "know" somebody is looking at you, it wasn't your sixth sense. It was something one of your five picked up on but just didn't have enough information to put together a clear conscious thought. Instead you just get that "feeling" that not all is well.
I like these lines.
He entered a search term that he couldn't recall Wednesday, although he said it "wasn't a real expressive sexual kind of word." And then, he said, he got caught up in a pornado -- sexually explicit pop-up windows took over his computer."I've never opened a site in my life, but what pops up is unbelievable," he said.
He's lying. He's either making it all up or he visited a porn site after entering that not so explicit serach term.
I disagree completely. Choosing XP over Vista is not throwing your money away, nor is it irrational. Quite the opposite. If XP works well for you, and Vista does not, choosing Vista would be throwing your money away. People just want the choice of what they see as the better operating system.
Double the future? How so? Because it's newer? Based on everything I've seen and everything I've read, Vistas future isn't looking all that bright. It's going to take years before the kinks are really worked out. Why would I hold off on puchasing a new computer when XP is usuable now and will be for years to come.
$50 says that in 5 years, every office will have one (that they own).
Sort of. People will decide they don't want to pay the service contract and some entrepreneurs will come up with ink refills and firmware hacks (in case there is some on-line killswitch). A new round af lawsuites will hit.
Not entirely sure if this is correct but based TFA, the phone company did give the correct times. Which matched the schools time. It's just that the schools time was an hour off, but the phone company couldn't have known that.
So between the Principal, her staff and the Police, they royaly screwed up.
The problem you had is not having no child rearing experience. You simply didn't have the answer to a question and did not come up with a way of dealing with it until after the fact. The teacher wasn't particualrily clever in the way they dealt with it. Never tell a student they are just plain wrong. You must tell them why they are wrong or you must tell them that you do not know the answer. Your idea of having the kid research it on his own would have worked quite well. Maybe the teacher could have turned it into extra credit.
I remember in highschool I had an English teacher who would tell me that I was plain wrong. This really bothered me so I made it my mission to always disagree with him. The thing was I always provided a valid argument. To his credit, he would listen to my arguments and occasionally I convinced him that I was correct (or that we were both correct from different points of view).
I also remember some of the trouble maker kids. Occasionally they had something intelligent to say. It's great when the teachers can look past their typical behavior and actually encourage learning. It's too bad that teacher did not try to do the same.
While I beleave the principal should be harshly reprimanded, perhaps even dismissed I don't think emailing her will help. What would be great though is the email address of the people will be making those sort of decisions about this Principals future employment so I can tell them what I think.
Perhaps the Principal getting fired is a bit extreme. But perhaps not. What she did to this kid was horrible. She railroaded him so she could get her man. Guilty with no chance to prove innocence (based on the TFA at least). That is inexcusable.
On the other hand, lets take a look at the police reaction. Did they just take what the Principal said at face value or did they try to look into the "facts" as well. If they didn't look into everything then they are guilty of negligence along with the Principal.
He got away with it *both* times because the law emasculates the citizen from carrying a weapon at all times.
I cannot believe you said that. Original person opens fire, two people draw weapons to defend themselves. Other people seing these new people draw weapons and draw their own in defense not knowing there was somebody else who started shooting first. And so on and so forth. Everybody would just start shooting each other.
I beleive that we have the right to bare arms. But I don't want everybody carrying a gun with them at all times. I think we'd end up killing far more innnocent people than we'd protect.
it was the intent behind her child's actions that disturbed her
Well there is something to think about. In Wolfenstien you were fighting to save the world from Nazi's. In Doom you were fighting to save the world from demons.
What was the intent in these games? To accomplish the goals set before you in those games.
I'm in the same boat. I let my daugter play WOW but I don't play DOOM3/Quake4 and the like when she is around (she doesn't much like machine gun type noises anyway). When playing GTA3, I stuck to just driving around the city going off jumps. When she's closer to the age I was when I started playing lots of games. we'll see. I'll play it by ear. At this point her favorite games are WOW and Nintendo Dogs on her DS.
I started gaming off with arcade classics on a 8088. Galaxian, Dig Dug and the like. My parents didn't become concerned about violent video games until Wolfenstien and Doom came around. They didnt' much like those games but didn't mind Red Baron, Xwing and Civilazaion.
I loved to tell them how many kills I had in Red Baron or what the standard crew complement of a Star Destroyer was while blowing it up or what the aproximate population was of a city I was dropping a nuke on in Civ.
The argument was that Doom and such were up close and personal and that's what made them more "violent". I told my parents the people in the other games were just as dead and there were more of them. I wonder if I will have similar arguments with my daugter? I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Following your example I would say there is no difference. That book however contains a copyright notice. If those USB drives did not come with a copyright notice, then there is none, implied or otherwise. Who knows, maybe they're just songs from guy who sounds like Reznor (maybe that's a stretch).
Furthermore, there is absolutely no reason the people who released the songs should have expected the songs not to be distributed. Absolutely none. If they expected people to keep the songs to themselves, the whole stunt serves absolutely no purpose.
If they did want people to keep the songs to themselves, they should have realized it would be very much negative publicity to take legal action against sites hosting the songs.
While I'm wearing my Tin Foil hat...maybe this is part of the marketing ploy. Reznor wants the Riaa to take action becuase it gets press. People might make more of an effort to get his songs because they get to "stick it to the man". More want to buy Reznors album becuase he's a rebel leaking songs under his Labels and the RIAA nose. Nobody really cares that the RIAA looks bad, the Label makes money, Reznor gets more people listening to his music, everybody is happy except for a couple of sysops who got pesky take down notices from the RIAA goon squad.
All said and done, I hope NIN and other bands drop labels who are affiliated with the RIAA. They are killing you.
Starship Troopers was a superb film on so many levels. I highly recommend getting a hold of the collectors edition and listening to the full length commentary by the directors.

I don't know. I just bought two 20" LCDs for my PC. Somehow I don't think my phones can replace that.
Are they saying a hospital using pirated software is deliberately trying to kill people?

That's the closest thing to gospel I've heard in a long time. Amen brother! Now pardon me while I go back to sleep.
The real question I have is what percent of Americans even know what the theory of evolutions is? I'd wager the percentage is quite small.
