All I know is from how he's described how this week is going to be, it's just going to basically be perfect for what I like to do.

So basically, you're going to get drunk, catch a STD, pass out and not remember any of it and then wander what those things crawling on your crotch are for the next 3 months...?

Too bad he'll probably end up making more than a large number of us, combined.

We'll see.

By the way, that wasn't a challenge.  I have very little interest in how much money someone will be making.  I'd have a very hard time having a conversation about that (because it's boring, not because I'd be frustrated).

The money thing is tricky, sure making a lot of money is great.. but normally the jobs that really change America/the world don't pay all that well..

-13F, -38F after windchill. That's.. not good.

Tomorrow morning's windchill is supposed to be around -40, which is pretty neat. -40 is the same in both C and F! ^_^

-40 is where heterogeneous freezing is assumed to occur as well. Its pretty awesome!

If that was my school I'd be so embarrassed I'd never tell anyone about it.

Also the camera operator sucks, those whole thing was like oof.

Generally my experience has been that binary protocols are infact better for this type of thing. Specifying which endian is used and how big everything is in bits is sooooo much easier then worrying about things like "what happens if there is extra whitespace? Do things explode?"

Not to mention that most languages have nativish support for things like switching endians and processing binary data. When you get into XML land everyone has to go out and get a 3rd party library thats probably huge and sluggish in order to process that data.

ghostview.. same thing actually.

This is hardly a Microsoft issue, perhaps your friend should stop being cheap and buy a postscript printer?

Microsoft is just satisfying the demand of printer makers who want to have their own format. This is a pretty common issue in the for-profit software industry because why should they spend the money and time to support another makers format?

Maybe these formats can do things better than postscript or provide more features? There are countless reasons for it and really your argument sucks.

So add a new printer, like the Apple Color LW 12/660 PS. You can tell it that its a FILE printer and then you don't even have to remember to check the print to file box when you want to use it.

Awesome I know.

This is really a pretty standard trick for "printing" to PDF, you print to a PS file using one of those printers and then use Ghostgum to convert it over to PDF. Its a slightly involved process, but really its simple and works well for any program.

This just proves it, Americans are getting smarter!
It used to take 12 years of schooling for people to master the art of bullshitting and now even 6 year olds have it down!

I've never been more proud.
