I am gonna right a new book called 2084

Please extend my sympathies to your future editor.

Well if (and that's if) she bought it in order to get it off the streets and give it to the police, shouldn't she be commended instead of arrested? There was a case in Sweden lately where some reporters investigating street gang crimes bought a gun from someone to see how easy it was to get hold of weapons and then went straight to a police station to hand it in. Most people would see getting a gun out of the hands of criminals as a good thing but a prosecutor there thought it was a better idea to charge them for it.

You've never browsed Slashdot at -1, I see. The mods on here who keep the depravity out of honest, law abiding peoples sight don't even get paid minimum wage, it's an outrage.

There's one guy in the first few posts of that old thread that says "This is v0.8 of Apple's PDA folks.". Not too bad.

Aah, but what should the default setting be for that preference setting..? We're back at square one.

I've been to one 3D movie since they started appearing. That one time was enough, it felt really uncomfortable for my eyes watching that and after the first novelty had worn off it really didn't add anything to the experience at all. No thanks.

You'd think that if anyone would know the importance of planning for a Godzilla level event it would be the japanese.

I must admit I've never debugged on paper before (is that what you meant by "prints"?). I usually just get a feature to a stage where I think it should work, and then I compile/test the crap out of it, finding/fixing bugs as I go. Its much more fun and practical than looking for bugs that might not exist on paper. Maybe its just because I'm not that old, but I couldn't even imagine debugging on paper.

He means running it and seeing what happens by adding lots of System.out.println();s or whatever the language of choice equivalent is instead of using a debugger. Well, I assume that's what he means.

I don't know this guys friends and relatives of course but if I tried that it'd only result in a phone call from my mom asking for help with this strange computer thingymajig that came in the mail. Merely telling her to insert it into the computer would probably result in injury to computer, mom or both.

Hmmmmmm, how long will it be before the publishers start suing professors for doing this?

Effect:

high blood pressure and a TIA.

Cause:

I work 18 hours a day, because if I don't, the others will screw up any tasks I let them do. I spend 16 hours a day fixing their mistakes so the customers don't find them. Within 5 minutes of walking out of the hospital, my phone was ringing off the hook. Within 10 minutes of getting out of the hospital, I was on my laptop trying to fix the problem, and fielding back to back phone calls.

You might as well ask which religion is the best one.

So, if you just went through it, what happened other than'it was tough? Did you get where you wanted to go and how or, if not, why not? I'd expect a bit more from +5 informative, to be honest.
