pauluskc: Even better, spend $349 and get all M$ software for one low price.  Anyone need ten licenses of O2K7 Enterprise, 10 licenses of Vista Business, 10 licenses of Visio 2K7 and more?  Direct from the horses mouth:  https://partner.microsoft.com/40016455  Woo-hoo!! January kit contents:  ...

mattwho:''The pen is blue, the pen is blue, the goddamn pen is blue!'' This just gave me a brilliant idea. An all new software package on a CD for $19.95 at your local <name_of_useless_idiotware_outlet/> called ''Website Trimmer Fantasic!(tm)'' What it does is reads in a WYSIWYG page/site and converts it to a list of human readable ...

Grauenwolf: tster: There is no reason that (provided the exact schema is known) you couldn't perform random access into an XML file. It would be kind of complex, but it would make it really easy to view and manipulate the database.  Now if the database did something stupid like storing the number 32 as the char '3' followed by the char ...

dhromed: anonymous2:In Dutch: ''Persoonlijk Identificatie Nummer'', but used only for 4-digit codes on debit cards and mobile phones, never as passwords in the generic sense of the word. Usually, we say ''PIN code'', which is as wrong as PIN number -- yet subtly so. Here in Australia (The arse end of the world) PIN stands for ''Pleasant If ...

dhromed:Actually, HL2 is worth it. :3 Sure is. I have it on Xbox for reasons mentioned in this thread. It would be better with a mouse and keyboard, but at least I don't have to suffer steam burns.

malfist: I'm doing an article for my High school portfolio and I need some input. Can some of you all list the pro's and con's of java over vb .net and vise versa?I favor java, but the Visual Stuido is nice (NetBeans is nearly as good and free). Thanks for your input. Jerome VB is beer, Java is coffee. Java can keep one rational, ...

CPound: Just be sure not to wear any...oops, I forgot. I wasn't supposed to post stupid stuff anymore. Hey dude, like there you go again with you're like ''don't wear polka dots'' crap. Like, what's with that dude? Don't you realise that noone likes you?  

I am not a programmer, sys admin or even a plain ''IT'' people I don't even know how to use an electronic computer. I have however written a full Prolog to CIL compiler and a JIT for my slide rule. Once I iron out all the bugs, I hope to move on to electronic computers. Eventually I would like to work as a professional Malbolge developer ...

RayS: Cool, but ultimately useless. If I wanted 4 desktops where I could only make use of one at a time, I'd setup a 4 monitor system and put them on a rotating plinth. The new 3D stuff in Windows and Linux look good, but for the most part, they're solutions looking for problems.  Yeah 4 virtual desktops is stupid. I use 6. That way I ...
