Separating Programming Sheep from non-Programming Goats

I was surfing around and found this. I thought it was particularly interesting.

The ignore members feature needs to be fixed, ASAP.

Much appreciated, thanks.

General Discussion / Hot or not.

I think it'd be hot during _insert appropriated context here_.

[Edit] I just want to make mention of this being a purely hypothetical question, so even if you don't have a girlfriend, feel free to share your thoughts anyway.

General Discussion / Concealed weapons: good/bad?

« on: February 18, 2008, 11:20:43 pm »

Since you deleted my post in the topic you created (which I can understand why), I might as well raise this up here (again):

CrAz3D, why is it that you post all these links of shootings, and then go out and get a gun?

I understand that it's a right to be able to own firearms, but I don't see why the articles you've posted on in the past hasn't deterred you from getting one.

Well, aside from it being fun and me wanting to get my CHL (concealed handgun license) ... those articles only encourage me in being proactive about being safe.

Fun? I'll let that one slide.

Wouldn't not owning a gun _at all_ be an even more practical approach to being proactive about safety?

For one, you wouldn't have access to it, and neither would anyone else. Second, you wouldn't have to be proactive about safety to begin with, as the object of said activity is removed; you can't practice being safe with something you don't have access to!

Or does this just come down to you wanting to have a weapon accessible at all times, if not for safety, then at the very least, for what you said: "... fun."

You've already acknowledged this:

Someone else pointed one out to me.

"Guns don't kill people, people kill people."

So?

General Discussion / Refute my objection?

« on: October 07, 2006, 06:43:54 am »

I need help coming up with a refute to the objection.  In case you're wondering, it's for my essay in philosophy.  I'm to write an argument, object to one of the premises, and then refute the objection.  The problem is that I can't seem to find anything flawed or erroneous about it, so hopefully that's where you guys come in.

Someone objecting to never truly knowing if you were awake or dreaming would contend that on the contrary, you can truly know if you are awake or dreaming.  The reason being that we experience pain only when we are awake, and that as much as we perceive a dream to be reality, pain will never be something that a dream is capable of bringing into reality.

Unix / Linux Discussion / WINE page faults

« on: August 31, 2006, 06:51:32 pm »

Okay, I'm running Slackware 10.2 and downloaded/installed the WINE binary for it.  Then I proceed to run 'winecfg', but I get:

wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x003ffd80 at address 0x60e333af (thread 0009), starting debugger...
wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x003ffd80 at address 0x609493af (thread 000b), starting debugger...

err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x6000b3a3

In short: I'm lost.

Any ideas?
