I liked the link on CNN's homepage better: "Amazon buys army of robots" Sounds much more diabolical.

Good.

I have managers that love extreme programming, they think it's the next best thing to sliced bread. Personally, I question the wisdom of 4 people watching one person code and telling them what to do, which invariable leads to statements like: "Wait, where did you want to put what?" "Hold up, hold up, slow down you're going too fast." "Dude, I'm so confused." And my personal favorite: "Where'd that code I just wrote go?" It does not take more than one person to do a single task. Break it up into pieces that can be delegated. Yes, that's harder, and no, it's not less productive. Cheers, Patrick

Well Fox deserves credit for being creative. That was pretty good. Good enough that I imagine that will be in my inbox a year from now from someone who has no idea what Dundas or CP is. :-D If we all used the Plain English compiler every post in the lounge would be a programming question.:cool: Welcome to CP in your language. Post the unicode version in My CP Blog [ ^ ] now. People who don't understand how awesome Firefox is have never used CPhog. The act of using CPhog alone doesn't make Firefox cool. It opens your eyes to the possibilities and then you start looking for other things like CPhog and your eyes are suddenly open to all sorts of useful things all through Firefox. - (Self Quote)

John Cardinal wrote: Technically there is no law in Canada against downloading the song via a file sharing program. I believe the ruling you're thinking of was misconstrued by many (including the press in some cases) to mean that it was legal to download copyrighted music. If I remember correctly, the ruling stated that companies providing file sharing services and/or software, including ISP's were not responsible for how their customers chose to use their offerings. I think the judge used libraries as an analogy: libraries are not legally responsible if their patrons choose to borrow a book and then make an illegal copy of it. The act of copying the book, though, is still illegal, it's just that the liability rests with the patron, not the library. My point here is that it is still illegal in Canada to download a copyrighted work without permission. Music or otherwise. <edit> Well, I took a look around and I guess there have been a few changes since I last looked. It seems that because we now pay a levy on blank media, we can download away without any worries so long as it's for personal, non-commercial use. Just can't make stuff available for others. It's funny - Costco now sells 'music cd-r' and 'data cd-r' at drastically different prices. I guess the music ones have the levy and the data ones don't. Does that fool anyone?

a trip down memory lane - I never did get into Banana Splits though - I think these shows wouldnt take the interest of today's kids - by comparison they are fairly low-tech, although they had violence I guess it was presented with a softer glove - I'm not sure that the sophisticated shows kids watch today are more suitable mind you ... aint nothing wrong with Sesame Street etc either as learning tools ...
