apply a/c to a chicken doesn't help. if you want to cook it, you want heat, not a/c.

The ringing is your brains signalling your taste center has never grown in, as you grow older but not wiser the ringing will increase trying to signal you to develop some taste and individuality.

Really? Metallica?

Have you no shame whatsoever?

Someone who has more time then me should do a matchup between those sicko's who think a fully clothed woman has no expectation of privacy in public with those who think a security camera is 1984 and see whether there are matches.

For me I learned today that Slashdot has a lot of creeps.

I prefer the days...when people/groups generally wrote their own songs, played their own instruments, and aside from a bit of reverb, and other treatments shy of fucking Autotune...had real vocals on their songs.

Yeah, I remember the good ol' "Get Off My Lawn" song, by "Wipper and the Snappers".

if you are not private or protected, you are public.

(sorry, been doing c++ too long, I think).

I've heard that if you get raptured against your will, the body has a way of shutting that whole thing down.

not sure if true or not.

in the early 1900's, we had deplorable work conditions, people rose up and demanded unions. we then got a 40 hour work week (mostly), benefits, pensions and someone to stand up for the worker.

fast forward to today: all of that is lost. ALL OF IT.

and there is no sign that people are willing to rise up like they did nearly a hundred years ago.

and US laws (and congress and the courts) continue to push down the worker and whittle his rights away bit by bit.

I'm a bit Leary of this kind of research.

Too early?

My wanker has JavaScript warts

and still are

Recently, we were diagnosing a .NET assembly and, after getting nowhere with the vendor, ran it through a decompiler. The code was a morass of SQL concatenation, sloppy type conversions, and various things that are generally thought of as insecure.

Okay, but what were the unexpected things you found?

instead have an API to build parse trees programmatically.

A Bloat-A-Matic? Like this?

Normal:

      A = B + C * D

Bloated:

      adder = new Adder(new FloatManager())
      multiplier = new Multiplier(new FloatManager())
      temp = new Float()
      result = new Float()
      temp.setValue(multipler.multiply(C, D))
      result.setValue(adder.add(B, temp))

What we all really want is a language that fits our own head, not somebody else's head.

You can't even trust those......it's not impossible for your company to set up their own little cell tower covering their buildings......
