  • Introductory Programmer: Do not learn FORTRAN. FORTRAN is evil. FORTRAN is like learning to drive on a 1950 John Deere. It's the same principle, but it's way harder than it needs to be, and most of it isn't very useful. If you want a really…

  • All right, here's a first-class happy ending for you: Packed up my Pismo and took it down to the Apple Store to get the service request processed and have it crated up for shipment. Guy at the Genius bar runs the paperwork, estimates an $819 rep…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Ender: Well, you could always open it up and take a peek for yourself to determine if the ribbon cable is having a problem. It might have just become partially disconnected at the one end too... Aside from that, it s…

  • I've got a similar problem with my Pismo keyboard... the space bar. It's got a long upside-down-U shaped metal bar, secured by clips at the right and left ends. Unfortunately, the bar has popped free of the clips at the left side. This means …

  • The Buckeyes suck. I *go* to OSU. But I had to grow up in Columbus, and listen to years of the deluded yammering on in the deluded belief that OSU is a major football program, and that they were going all the way this year, etc. etc. Whatever…

  • Vanilla Coke = circus peanuts. Pepsi Twist (and Diet Coke with "lemon") are the right idea, poorly implemented. In Europe they put a slice of lemon in colas quite often when you get them in the restaurant. Cola is great with lemon. The probl…

  • I speak Gothic. It comes in really handy for shutting up those whiny "Goths". In izai rohsnai Hro agaizis soei Hairuts haitada, managai saggwei siggwands jah managa dragka drigkanda. Jah unsahtaba mikils ist gagudeins rún.

  • My women drivers won't work under OS X It's probably something with Apple's USB implementation

  • [quote]Originally posted by Timo: That's why, e.g., I don't care about powerdoc's grammar. I can't decide whether it's more pleasant to see an entire thread of persons willing to stick up for the proper use of English, or somebody properly usi…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Towel: Careful with this one...our record is arguably worse than North Korea's. They stuck to most of the provisions of the 1994 nuclear agreement, while we've dragged our feet holding up our side (building "safe" nu…
    in ABM Treaty Comment by colorclassicg4 December 2001
  • [quote]Originally posted by Ifok5: By pulling out of the ABM Treaty, we give (rogue) nations an excuse not to make be part of any treaty that 'limits' it's defenses (nuke missile development,etc.), allowing them to make missiles that are faster and…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Fran441: Plus, considering that getting out of the treaty was on his agenda before the 9/11 tragedy, I think it's unbelievable that he can turn around and say that we have to get out of the treaty because of September 11…
    in ABM Treaty Comment by colorclassicg4 December 2001
  • I have not yet seen a good defense to the argument that we should not be bound by a treaty with a state that does not exist. No doubt our obligations to the Ottoman Turks, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and to the Knights of Malta are also stil…

  • The Israelis want to be left alone in peace. The Palestinians want to eradicate the Israelis. It's as simple as that. But what about a homeland for the Palestinians? One was created in the original partition. It's called "Jordan". Bu…
