dya know if the borland shit has refactoring? e.g. c#builder? TIA, -b

truly excellent post, AA. the israelis won't do a thing to piss us off. even though the media may portray it that way sometimes, everything they do gets the OK from the white house. something to think about. the question i have for you is -- what the fuck are we going to do about the...

"Vice President Dick Cheney is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at Saturday's banquet and rocker Ted Nugent was scheduled for a session Sunday on "God, Guns & Rock 'n' Roll." " http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Northeast/04/16/nra.convention.ap/index.html god, guns, and rock 'n' roll...

i haven't seen anything on the white house's reaction to the book, and since woodward quotes bush speaking to him, what's the deal???

:D some good points. i think the issue with the depleted uranium (typically fired from A-10 "Tank Killer" fighters) has nothing to do with cancer (since they are "depleted," which means not radioactive), but with the fact that uranium is the most toxic element known to man, far more toxic...

axe, are you referring to python here?? thx, -b

good for her. unlike laura, she hasn't been subjugated into 2nd class citizen status by her husband. she's got her business, her money, and she intends to keep it private. i haven't heard any reports that laura bush has actually earned much on her own; instead she prefers to live off...

it saves taxpayers b/c they are not paying for bullshit, expensive war with the drug dealers. taxpayers throw some of this savings at insurance. this insurance pool also saves the govt money in state hospitals, since the insurance company is now obligated to cover those costs. (most...

you include alcohol in the same policy, thus necessitating large-scale participation. :D it also removes the blackball effect of having your name on a less socially acceptable list. this way, only the users bear the societal costs. and taxpayers don't have to pay to fight bullshit drug...

Indeed. I'd implied in my response that yes, the ends do justify the means, but only when you can directly compare the immediate outcomes of the means versus the end, and there are no other undesirable outcomes generated by the means. For example, invading iraq to get rid of saddam...

Personally, I think the whole issue of which drugs should be legalized should be taken out of the hands of the government by the privitization of the whole process. Any controlled substance must be used by adults who have the financial stability to control any undesired outcomes. How...

inappropriate means can often produce undesirable ends later on... for example, the resurgence of al queda since the liberation of terrorists in iraq.

FWIW, you probably know about it, but there is a compiler for python called psycho or something like that which (supposedly) makes code run several times faster.. i am comfortable with C# b/c i am a novice. and it is fast and has allowed me to write apps quickly. we have been over this...

you can do whatever you want with the array. i don't think there is a speed advantage to chop an array.

BSAM earlier today made the outstanding point that reporters are an essential component of a free and open democracy. I think that there should be a purely nonprofit, civilian run, volunteer-only (each active volunteer may contribute not more than $50/year, and contributions are limited to...

The coalition has gone the way of saddam's weapons. Next question, please.

brokershopping, sorry for my delay getting back to you, but i had to actually code it & make sure it worked... like i said above, i did this first: StreamReader object to read text file into string. String.Split first by Newline character \n to break text file's data columns apart...

i don't use them (messengers) anymore, but i do know that zonealarm has a product designed to work with messengers to enhance security. i was using trillian, which was nice in that it could run your msn, yahoo, and (maybe) aol ID's at the same time.

:D all i can say is thank god its an election year -- otherwise iraq would've been ABANDONED just like afghanistan was a year and a half ago.

state and federal income tax could be <5% FLAT if your plan were adopted... we could still pipe the current amount of spending into intelligence, and tip off other countries who may actually give a damn. being geographically isolated, you'd think we'd use it more to our advantage...but...
