My Physics Teacher my junior year of HS did something called "Bubbles of Death". He did it as an intro to what a chemical reaction can do (heat + natural gas + O2 = flame), and was notorious for making his bubble tower large enough to create a fairly large flame cloud. In my class it was big enough to push the door open, and leave a black mark on the ceiling. I believe he was banned from doing that as it was getting annoying to continually replace ceiling tiles.

This. I was on my dad's 486 as soon as I saw him boot up snipe and rogue. Which would have put me at about 20 months. I couldn't program, but I sure as hell could get pwnt by 2nd level dungeon monsters. Huh...I just realized I learned to read playing Rogue too....imagine that.

While that may be a problem, what IT staffers need to start doing is find ways to show that once security patches for windows XP and IE6 stop rolling in, that the opportunity cost to hold onto those websites and dealing with what users inevitably drag in is far greater then simply hiring a programmer to rework all those "must have" programs into something that's a bit more future proofed.

There is one downside, and that's when you run into a vendor that refuses to use anything newer, claiming that only that really old PoS will do the job they way that it's meant to be. That's the only situation I can see where IE6 will be forced to stay.

Enough with this good enough BS, Windows XP deserves a good burial, it's lived long enough.

I'm actually glad it fills up more space on the page, because it means I can write short papers again instead of having to drone on and on (or repeat myself) in the text to meet the length requirement after I met the requirements for the paper itself 4 pages ago.

...I can't believe you actually tried to do something with DHMO... that's soooo 10 years go.

I have to mention this. D&H distribution was not involved in this at all, not sure why people keep pointing fingers at them when it was found that IPEX was the company that let this slip through.

I'm at work you insensitive clod! 4:45PM PST Another hour to go.

Good thing Blizzard is managed separately from Activision, huh? The two companies only share an owner, both are independent from each other (Thank God).

I know there's a few out there putting hate on Blizzard for the 3 part SC2 thing, but it has been mentioned before that they plan to price them as expansions, not full games. People get uppity over the smallest things...

Mod this guy up, that's brilliant, and I hope some CS professor out there uses this method.
