This implementation will be changed over when we get to version 26, in approximately six months.

Oh, and feel free to submit a bug report about submitting bug reports. We are glad to oblige.

I would argue the opposite. I don't think I've ever had an order on time, arguable that it's because of where I live, or what I order, but "we have to swim across a 3700 mile river underground" is somewhat better consolation than "the warehouse manufacturer apologizes for the delay, we are looking into figuring out what happened".

There's a reason I enjoy living right beside the Canadian Rockies. No hurricanes, typhoons, tidal waves, or sharks.

Chinooks and random ass weather are karma though.

I personally prefer K&M for shooters, but controllers for action/arcade/rpgs/fighters. Maybe it's just me, but having the choice is nice.

And besides, it gives you the chance to play casually and play seriously. Play casually against friends, play seriously for ranking? Sounds about right.

This is what the industry needs.

speaking of what the industry needs... Where's my episode 3 Gabe!?

No we can all act like Thor with our lightning drop kicks!

Why'd you post as an AC? I think "looking beneath the surface" is what programming is all about, and what they're doing here with Java 7 is just silly.

Geez, catering to "young programmers" seems silly. If they don't learn it properly while they're young, it'll only get harder to learn once you get older.

Maybe the plan is to just set up computers behind the curtain, and only those computers can be used to vote. You'd still have to go to a voting station, you'd still have to prove your identity the same way, your vote would still be hidden, the only difference is that you'd be putting votes into a database, and not into a box.

Just because it's "online" doesn't mean it would have to be "at home". That may not have been what the article intended, but it's one possible way to do things.

The only problem then becomes how to encrypt the data and prevent your ISP from making changes. Then again, elections Canada staff can always "lose" ballots as well, skewing the results, so I don't know which is harder to trust.

256 Cores? I thought that was AMD territory my friend.....

I kid I kid. Seriously though, this is some bullshit. I don't care if they have the best in the business, I don't think I'm buying another intel chipset for my home for a while...

Been keeping busy with programs to format massive amounts of data.

Probably (re)wrote 600 some lines of C++ to format shape files (.shp) into SQL tables. I'm becoming disconcerted that it's running smoothly so far.

1. Send computer to Apple.
2. They ship it off to PowerON
3. PowerON figures out how much it's worth
4. You get a gift card in the mail for what it's worth

Uh.... what? I don't even get to barter this? I don't even get to see their standards for judging how much is worth what?

I'm not sure I'd ever bother with this, I might as well take the old parts and fashion myself a small server or micro PC.

I don't want your goddamn lemons!

I'm the man who's gonna burn your Apple store down! With Lemons!

I like to think of it this way, if my union ever needs to do something like this, but can't because of legal repercussions, I'll just be sure to add the company's server to a few spam lists, and then we'll see if they wanna cry about their emails.
