<0> It's disgusting.
<1> pffft
<0> You really think it would make a difference? That people who'd otherwise kill someone would now think: Oh, lets not shoot him, or I'll be killed by impalement.
<0> Nah, those people don't think. Harsh punishment never helped for real crimes.
<2> kicked out of politics?
<0> So, it would be form of revenge, and that has nothing to do with justice.
<2> he has no right to free speech?
<0> a form*
<3> personally, that would more encourage than deter me to commit a crime.
<3> it's not every day that you can get impaled in front of the capitol.
<1> we need more revenge in justice heh
<1> especially against jb
<0> Things like cutting off the hand of a shop lifter (as they do in some countries) makes more sense.
<0> Those people at least continue on living: they will think twice before they risk their other hand, and their fellow thiefs will see the result of getting caught.
<0> So, basically, what we need is *public* impalement on tv.
<0> lol
<0> With close-ups on the blood that slowly runs down the pole, and the screaming in dobly surround.
<1> indeed, and we can throw rotten fruit at them, and the circle back to the middle ages will be complete
<0> I'm sure you'd love to see that.
<1> in high def, of course
<2> what?
<2> there wasn't any political correctness in the middle ages
<2> we're a bunch of pussies.
<0> What we need is A.I. that will rule us humans.
<1> i am that AI
<1> http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyid=2006-01-13T141506Z_01_EIC351283_RTRUKOC_0_US-CHINA-WEDDINGS.xml
<1> the chinese aren't the brightest people
<0> Since when is this #news anyway.
<1> since i chose to make it thus
<0> just checking if you were level 500.
<0> Who is that anyway?
<1> techraven?
<0> yup
<1> he's a long time op in here, since about, hmm, late 90's?
<1> 98 maybe
<0> I remember a time when I created #C++ cause there was nobody there...
<0> But later some guy called ... Ubercoder I think it was. Or Obercoder, got ops.
<1> not much has changed since
<1> obercoder yeah
<0> And he was such an ***hole that I left #C++ for a few years.
<4> the time when windows programmers were considered pussies
<4> a real(tm) programmer programs in dos
<4> :)
<0> Real Programmers code in HEX
<0> But that was in the time that you could actually memorize the ***embly codes, I guess.
<0> I've known the JMP instruction of an 8080... once.
<0> c3 I think it was.
<0> 00 is NOP :)
<0> That is easy to remember.
<0> push and pop the A register.. that was one I knew too.
<0> Man this is long ago. I might as well start to tell people my real age (which I've kept a secret at all times), cause nobody believes I'm 13 anymore anyway with those 'good old times' stories of me :p
<0> I always loved to keep my age a secret... it's almost a game. You know I did actually give my age during that interview I once had? The question was "How old are you?" and I did hide the answer in my answer. It always amazed me that nobody realized it.
<0> (ps vawjr is older)
<0> heheh
<5> much
<6> what program are you guys using to code c++ ?
<7> You mean, "What IDE are you using on top of your compiler?"
<7> I'm mostly using Visual Studio 2005 now.
<7> But when I don't, I edit in XEmacs.
<6> ok
<7> So, I went for an evening stroll before bedtime, around 5:30 this morning.
<6> what about vc 6.0
<6> is it good ?
<7> cpp: Most definitely not.
<6> ok
<7> Get Visual C++ 2005 Express
<7> http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/visualc/default.aspx
<8> cbx tied to mingw with emacs keymapping
<7> Or, if you want to use GCC, www.mingw.org
<7> Anyway, while I was walking on the golf course I heard a chimpanzee having a freak fit.
<7> The Yerkes primate research center is right down the road from here.
<7> That's a bizarre sound to hear early in the morning in Georgia.
<8> there's chimp research going on the labs downstairs
<8> their food smells all the way to the loading docks
<9> Solamente: I once heard tigers roaring near the tax office in Munich.
<7> Heh
<7> Next it'll be Axl Rose jumping out from behind a tree screeching "Welcome to the Jungle"
<1> actually, jumping out from behind trees in georgia is about all the gigs axl can get
<7> True
<10> he's much too fat to do much jumping these days.
<10> hmmm
<10> I haven't heard from TechRaven in days
<10> I guess he's too good for us now.
<5> well, he's certainly been around, but hasn't been saying much
<1> hmm, core duo (a pretentious sounding "dual core") imac, tempting
<5> new hardware from Intel
<1> yeah, i know it's intel's branding
<1> still sounds pretentious
<11> If you've not tried a Mac before, I recommend it
<11> Highly, very highly
<1> i have
<11> In 3 months, my ibooks gone from "Portable hacking machine" to mostly the only thing I use. I only turn my windows machine on occasionally now
<1> installed osx 10.0 on my brother's ibook long while ago, and more recently, helped my mother in law get her imac
<11> and this is a windows machine with 20" monitor, big ram + video etc. A 12" laptop is a better experience
<1> don't think i need a new laptop, but a 20" imac is tempting
<1> would look great on my desk
<1> i'd still keep my 21" crt and uberbox (as of late 2004) though
<11> I'm tempted myself, but I just can't justify a new desktop machine :/
<11> probably will just spend some cash on retrofitting my PC with silent fans so at least it isn't aurally painful to use
<11> nothing to be done about how annoying windows feels to use now, alas. Maybe I'll try the Vista beta
<1> my desktop has 4 sizeable fans (not counting the 2 fans on the graphics card), and the noise is just fine, i think
<1> perhaps i'm just deaf
<11> well, I know my hearing is poor and I still think mines loud. You can hear it upstairs when it's on downstairs
<1> ah, i don't have that problem
<1> i can't hear it after leaving the office
<11> Thanks to nvidias patent thermal engineering, whereby it's just not a good card unless than fan size is double what it was last generation
<1> and if i shut the office door i can't hear it on the other side (they're french doors, so there's a small gap between them)
<12> heh
<12> I moved my 120mm fan outside my case :]
<11> I'll just replace the fan on the gfx card, and all the case fans and see where that gets me
<11> though prying off the factory fiited nvidia cooler won't be fun
<1> my previous box had a bad chipset fan i was too lazy to replace
<1> now that was noisey
<12> put a 25 foot long 6" diameter air duct up to the computer and moved the fan into the other room =)
<12> much much nicer :D
<1> i've really enjoyed this box actually, absolutely no heat problems, even after a day of playing games
<10> just unplug the fans
<10> that's my solution to the problem.
<11> almost certainly going to relegate the PC box to "Windows testing machine" when the intel powermacs come out, though
<1> yeah, i did unplug that fan most of the time, but the thing got so hot
<1> that box had lockup problems
<9> my box' chipset is p***ively cooled, and so is the gfx card.
<11> need to wait and see how much commission my last project will net
<11> otherwise, I'll be spending close to my budget :/
<1> yeah, if i didn't have to pay off loans, i'd consider a mac
<1> now that my tax refund looks substantial enough
<11> promised myself I'd finish undergraduate studies only ?5000 poorer than when I started
<11> and I won't make that if I spend ?1500 on a new computer this year, unless that ?1500 comes from new earnings. which it should, really
<13> ?1500 ?
<1> try not to get a wife
<1> easiest way to lose money
<11> but need to wait until march and see how it did
<11> yeah, I hear those phillipinos can set you back a bit
<1> euro sign i imagine
<1> client can't see it
<11> ? = GPB
<1> oh
<11> ? = EURO
<1> heh
<1> both are showing up as ?
<11> I guess they both render the same :)
<1> forgot you're in uk though
<1> guess i'll finish my errands before i play a little bf2
<11> I should finish typing up some exercises. insteda, I
<1> this print is pretty fast, but man it's noisy
<1> printer
<11> 'm a cooking cornish pasties. yum
<1> cornish pasties...sounds nasty
<11> ah, theyr'e the bestest food ever
