You can teach newbies to use linux, just please keep them out of my programming forums, I can't stand all the "you should use linux, it's better than windows, blah blah blah" clueless crap!
This is just plain ridiculous. It's not because she was 25, they aren't saying she was underage. They are saying (I think) that she is going to teach children and she is dressed in a costume that kids like, so they will think it's cool to drink and be a pirate. IT'S PLAIN FUCKING STUPID! The religious wrong in this country is just yet again trying to control every aspect of personal life with their stupid "think of the children" whine. She doesn't even have a beer bottle in her hand, it's a PLASTIC CUP! WTF?!?!?
This kind of stuff scares me. How can you tell if someone is thinking about killing you or wishes that you were dead? Sometimes I wish someone was dead, but I wouldn't go kill him or tell someone to kill him. Pretty soon if you disagree with someone, you will be taken as a threat and executed as some sort of preemtive strike.
This is a real annoyance for me because where I work they are trying to replace a very big thick client application with a web application. "they" being the business people. They say that it will get rid of deployment problems... BFD!! There is so much that this application does that can't be done on a "thin" web client, such as OCRing images, advanced caching and prefetching of data to the client, PDF editing, it's very annoying that they want to do this and they know nothing of the technologies. They will not listen to reason, so they are going to start doing it in phases. The first phase will be to do the easy stuff, the next phase will be to trash the first phase because they realize that the rest of the crap can't be done in a thin client. Either that or they develop some bloated ActiveX control or java applet which will be much worse than the disadvantages of a thick client....
yea, I understand that, but you missed the point. The point is that you can set it to 3 or even 5 but that doesn't mean that you won't screw up though much less likely. However, it still offers pretty much no benefit because someone will figure out how to hack it no matter what you do. And if you have the kind of information that is so sensitive that you would rather have it destroyed that in the wrong hands, it's very likely that someone who has the wrong hands will have the right amount of money and resources to get the technology hacked, rendering it useless and only a problem.
Destroying the contents on a bad password attempt is crazy. Especially when you use very cryptic passwords. People tend to type wrong, hold the shift key down too long, not hold the shift key down when necessary. Sometimes I have to type my passwords two or three times before getting it right. Destroying important sensitive information because I accidentally typed it wrong is just plain stupid. These kind of technologies will only be a pain for people using them legitimately, and anyone who wants to hack to get the information will generally be able to find some way to get it, thus it is only extends the problems and provides no solutions.
seriously, I was thinking the same thing while reading it. They need to rename it "The 8 extensions not to use because they affect our business, oh and a couple extra obvious ones to make you think this is a legitimate list".
What we really need to focus on is how much information Jesus has about us. How does he get this information, and what exactly does he plan on doing with it?!?!?
It helps to know someone at MS, it only cost me 45 bucks for Vista Ultimate.
By the way, if you have an nVidia card, prepare for a nightmare. I spent about a week getting Vista to work with my video card, I have a GeForce MX 5500, it would crash every 15 minutes with an infinite loop driver error, even with the lastest drivers.
So this is what people do when they get a degree in Information Systems or Information Technology. They spew BS about operating systems and make up crap to make people think they have an expert opinion.
If you have systems running JVM 1.3 that interact with systems using 1.4 or above, beware, there are issues in how they implemented the fix in 1.3. In Java 1.3, the DST change is applied to ALL years, including prior to 2007, so if you have a remote object on 1.3 give a date to an application running in 1.4 (as a binary object, not just text) then it will cause problems, it will set it to 1 hour off, if you don't use timestamps, the default will be midnight, so one hour off will be the previous day. This has caused a bunch of problems where I work.

no, they need to keep holes open for the government to spy on us.
Solution: Electrical tape over the lights.
In other words... Quit your whining and use your head!
I speak for all americans who scoff at europe's idea that they need to show how horrible the US is and how much better they are. "HA HA!".

More proof that man comes from dirt and not monkeys! God be praised!
I will definitely be selling these on eBay!
Three word answer: NO NO NO!

why don't they just burn the DRMed music files to an audio CD and sell those online or in stores.

HA, you, my friend, are OBVIOUSLY not married.
I would need to buy like 10 of these for my pr0n collection, no thanks!
they must be referring to the GREEN color of money. They need to compare how much gas per mile is burnt.

it's not a normal linked list, but still, shouldn't be patentable in my opinion.
Maybe they should have sued for 1 Googol dollars (10^100) instead.

tzupdater doesn't work for this, also 1.3.1 can only have one day for the DST day for all years.
People using WebSphere Application Server 5.0 cannot upgrade to 1.4. They would need to migrate to WAS 6.0.
