Your mileage may vary, but I was paranoid about using my cell phone or data plan when in Mexico. After I missed my flight, and having massive difficulty using the pay phones to call the airlines, I ended up just making a few calls on my cell. After that I decided to check my email while waiting for the next flight. It wasn't crazy - maybe $60 extra for a few minutes of phone/data time, if even that much. Sure, it was expensive, but I was smart about it, got done quickly, and it wasn't as painful as I thought

Hey Teenagers,

Been There, Done That, Bought the T-Shirt.

Hope you enjoy the cock-gargling ass-raping in your near future,

Go to Hell,

The rest of the planet

Oh, horse shit. You're just making shit up.

Yes, all americans are equally guilty for the state of illegal immigration - republicans too. We all apparently want them here or they wouldnt be here :)

It really no longer surprises me that my non-offensive, purely just an opinion posts, are modded into oblivion regularly here on Slashthink. Look at this thread for god's sake. It aint the hackers of my generation that are doing LulzSec/Anonymous/wikileaks shit. Lost cause. All you kids have turned into a bunch of terrorists or terrorist sympathizers. Twas ever thus. Search your heart and you will know i'm right :)

Um, pass me some of that shit you are smoking. I pay the same damn sales tax plus about 1/3 of my income to various things such as Social Security which they do not pay. Plus its the little annoyances which come with being legal - doing things the legit way. Its a total drag and hassle and i resent the fuck out of some people bypassing all that shit and thinking they are the same as me. Its the fundamental fallacy of the whole thing and nobody talks about it. They have a very sweet deal here.

Hey man I'll cut your grass if you let me smoke pot all day and not pay any taxes. Illegals have it pretty damn sweet - none of the bullshit the rest of us have to put up with. I pay a fuckload of money to live in the USA. If they are willing to do the same, then I dig them. Otherwise, STFU.

Its been a long time but i know Grand central is a clone of a feature in windows. I cant remember if it is IO Completion Ports (coolest feature in windows) or something else. Whatever it is, windows gots it

I didn't even realize it was a redesign. I have a hard time finding anything at all I want to watch anyway, so I like having more crammed on the screen.

Silverlight is not strictly speaking .NET. Different registry keys, etc.

It doesn't even have DataSets, it ain't .NET.

It's what was once called the DLR (Dynamic Language Runtime) a long long time ago.

Get off my lawn.

Oracle + C# is actually pretty fun.

At my Oracle place we weren't permitted to use P/SQL. I used a python-esque syntax to have these insanely complex 5-page plus queries, but the catch was they were filled with CTE (common table expressions). I didn't have to give Oracle any hints - it just found them and optimized away 99.99% of the query and executed blazing fast but I could do totally dynamic sorting/searching.

Combine that with C# and stay the hell away from Toad, and you're home free. Just write your own Query tool and did I mention stay the hell away from Toad?

I think Osama Bin Laden tried something similar once...

Well, I guess they pretty much guaranteed now that the US government will kick their asses eventually...

Well played, dumbasses, now everyone is paying attention!

Maybe they could use that juicy GPU to do super fast BCD fast enough!

I got a box with 26 folders in 5 sets of 5 colors plus 1 gray folder. My first thought obviously was a-z but how many q's would i have? So i decided to lump my stuff into 5 really broad categories and rotate the sets each quarter. The last set is long term. When i rotate the 4th quarter back to the current, i purge and move the residue to long term. The 26 th folder is for stuff waiting to be filed.

It works great for me but no one else can figure it out :). Btw, the categories are: stuff about money, cute stuff, stuff about me and the wife, stuff about the kids, and service records. Medical bills is stuff about us not money. I always know where to look

But if 100% of 1% of the people use FF on Linux, that's 1%. If 1% of 85-90% of the people use FF on Windows, that's 0.85% to 0.9% of the people. It's less people! Your analogy doesn't work.
