I'm with you. I've started with BASIC 20 years ago and it was cool to type 10 print "A" and see "A" on the screen. Today, the char "A" on the black screen is definitely *not* impressive. People do amazing things using Javascript, like a 1kbyte size AI chess master. Go and teach HTML5, Javascript; something what is more visual like jQuery. Whatever, but no BASIC.

the only missing portion is "sealed from public". The HFT is illegal by itself. The GS business (bonuses, etc) is legal rape. But they are f#$ing powerful and want to show everyone: "don't mess with us or end up in jail for long".

DisplayPort is royalty-free interface and it's definitely way to go. Apple is doing the right thing for once.

it should, but there is a legal way of doing it. Just edit /etc/adobe/mms.cfg file and deny everything.

Milk problem is cool but the worry is much bigger. The entire financial system is broken and corrupted. If the truth comes out it would collapse in one day. It means second depression and third world war. In shot, we might not survive the news.

one could also get a class 2 cert (valid for *.company.com). It would be also valid for internal.company.com domain.

I'm with you. SMS is a part of GSM protocol, apparently. It replaced beepers/pagers and part of our life. I need a separate compass and gps devices in case if mobile battery dies, but I don't need a phone without sms. It's not polite sometimes to call to a person just to say "ok".

btw, sqlninja is not in the gentoo's portage. But you can find it in pentoo overlay with bunch of other "hackers" tools.

I have IBM T42 thinkpad 1.6Ghz and I do have problem watching flash in a full screen under linux with their proprietary binary crap. The CPU power is simply not enough. Other players work fine.

I own Apple II Plus which is the next generation. Let me know if you are interested.

are you confused by upper case? "until 10" is after 8 and 9, obviously.

I would add - implement some kind of server with security updates. We have a problem with or without it anyways.

that's because of bad design of many websites. Gmail works fine with and without js. jQuery is an another example.

the most beta - that's because all IE releases never leave a "beta" stage.
