Tinyurl now has a preview feature http://tinyurl.com/preview.php needs a cookie though.
Nice to see that url expands to goatse.cx or wherever.

Fortunately, there is a cookie-based configuration to force the preview in TinyURL, so even the "http://tinyurl.com/87d" will be previewed. This is a link to activate the feature.

• The website would have http://tinyurl.com/87d rather than http://preview.tinyurl.com/87d
• The surfer, being unknowledgeable, would just click on the damn link, rather than carefully paste it into his addressbar, and add preview in front of it.

I think that's exactly the point the submitter is raising: Say you post a link on slashdot to some random website. When I stumble over your post, coming from a search engine, in five years, the chance for this link to still work is p(x), the probability of that random website remaining live for 5 years.

Now, if you used tinyurl for your link, the chance for the link to not be broken by then is p(x)*p(y), where p(y) is the chance of tinyurl surviving the next 5 years. Since p(y) is less than 1, this lowers your chance to send me this little piece of information forward to in five years time.

The internet is built on dense connectivity, with no single node being able to uniquely control access to a large part of the whole net. Tinyurl works against this principle. If someone switched off tinyurl now, 54 Million links would break in an instant, all over the web, with no chance to correct them all automatically.

In other words, to return your ad hominem attack: If you expect Tinyurl to stay exactly where and what it is for the next 5 years, you have misunderstood the web.

So instead of emailing him this:

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&r ls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=C1m&q=you+just+ can%27t+believe+me+when+I+show+you+what+you+cannot+see&b tnG=Search&meta=

I just dump it into tinyURL with this as the result:

http://tinyurl.com/2sr7kh

Frankly, the tiny URL is fine. I'm not worried about the tiny URL going to a page that no longer exists - heck - the web is a very mercurial thing, and pages come and go at the drop of a hat.

I think TFA is henny penny garbage.

Clearly, the solution to your email problem lies in this link

http://tinyurl.com/preview.php I've had it turned on since the days of people hiding goatse.cx behind TinyURLs.

With tinyURL, you can preview the URL before you open it. Example: http://preview.tinyurl.com/87d. Just add the "preview." as a subdomain to the "tinyurl.com".
So yeah, you are crying wolf.

The new, updated documentation for the firewall in 10.5.1 now contradicts what the firewall presents to the user: http://tinyurl.com/2a6bcg

"It was a friendly-fire incident".

I'd be more inclined to believe that if the leading Israeli pilot had not seen a huge US flag on USS Liberty, and told ground control that he could not attack an American ship. The report by the US Navy's Judge Advocate General said:

"that the Liberty was easily recognizable as an American naval vessel; that its flag was fully deployed and flying in a moderate breeze; that Israeli planes made at least eight reconnaissance flights at close range; the ship came under a prolonged attack from Israeli fighter jets and torpedo boats."

According to Jeffrey St Clair (http://www.counterpunch.org/stclair06082007.html)

"A few years after Attack on the Liberty was originally published, Ennes got a call from Evan Toni, an Israeli pilot. Toni told Ennes that he had just read his book and wanted to tell him his story. Toni said that he was the pilot in the first Israeli Mirage fighter to reach the Liberty. He immediately recognized the ship to be a US Navy vessel. He radioed Israeli air command with this information and asked for instructions. Toni said he was ordered to "attack". He refused and flew back to the air base at Ashdod. When he arrived he was summarily arrested for disobeying orders".

Ennes is James Ennes Jr, who was officer of the deck during the attack, and author of "Attack on the Liberty". http://tinyurl.com/yo6po9

Most importantly, you fail to comprhened what is the basis of concern regarding the suspension of habeas corpus. It is a preeminent right to the state, and that means it is not just something the the Government must allow for its citizens. To not understand this, is to place liberty at threat. There are human rights which transcend the power of a legitimate state. You defend tyranny.

Your assertions regarding the humans detained at Abu Ghraib in 2004 are wrong and reprehensible. Most of the detainees then had been picked-up in sweeps during the insurgency's infancy:

"Coalition military intelligence officials estimated that 70% to 90% of prisoners detained in Iraq since the war began last year "had been arrested by mistake," according to a confidential Red Cross report given to the Bush administration earlier this year.

Yet the report described a wide range of prisoner mistreatment - including many new details of abusive techniques - that it said U.S. officials had failed to halt, despite repeated complaints from the International Committee of the Red Cross."

Bob Drogin, "Most 'Arrested by Mistake'", Los Angeles Times, May 11, 2004

These persons had been detained under the Colour of Authority Imparted by The United States Flag; my god-damned flag; and for that reason alone, should never had been tortured, irrespective of any criminal act they had engaged with. There was once a time when America actually stood for freedom and liberty, and its citizenry was not rife with cowards and weasels who equivocated upon the Rights of All Humans.

• A citizenry that believes its rights are a gift from a beneficent government will never be free.
• A criminal system that has multiple standards of applicability, based solely upon citizenship is foundationally unjust.
• An American future in which the people did not once again chain and muzzle their leviatian, which in the fire of retribution's desire after 911, was set loose upon the earth as rabid wolf among the sheep, will never again know peace.

If this makes me a lefty or a liberal, then what refuse now comprises the right-side of the political bipolarity in America?

And Court of Cassazione decisions often contradict previous ones, e.g. asserting that a person wearing jeans could be raped as removing the jeans was an impossible operation to perform without the victim's consent.

Well, I'm DEFINITELY not too young! I'm a political history buff and I'm sorry, but if you seriously think that the Democrats are in ANY WAY as corrupt as the Republicans, you're just mistaken. If it's "Blackwater vs. Whitewater", then this one is an EASY call. I'm not being partisan here, the Democrats have LOTS of skeletons rattling around but the GOP has nothing BUT closets and they are ALL FULL, from floor to ceiling. You don't know much about it because they've completely OWNED the press since William Randolph Heart hired Adolph Hitler as a paid newspaper columnist. Sure, the Dixiecrats were horrible - but they all became Republicans after LBJ signed the civil rights bill - and starting way back in the 1930s - with the Industrial-Fascists coup d' etat against the FDR White House in 1934, the corporate interests and their ideological shock troops commanded by Reverend-Operatives within the mega-churches - the wealthy and powerful "justice us" crowd have had free reign with the GOP. The 100% pro-Republican business interests have overthrown and replaced elected governments, be they liberal, socialist or "communist", all over the planet with right-wing fascist dictators trained at The School of the Americas. The *Christian* part of the political far-right (values voters, my ass!) actually owned and operated more than 50 ACTUAL HITLER YOUTH CAMPS right here on American soil! How's THAT for keeping secrets!? Money = Corruption - Follow the Money - or follow the yellow (gold) brick road - to find "the wizard". The RNC has had absolutely no competition for their corporate overlords' attention and financial largesse. Criminal CEOs and wealthy ibterest only buy politicians for what they can DO for them, and quite frankly, the Democrats haven't been "worth buying" for quite some time now. However, NOW the Democrats ARE being actively and DESPERATELY courted by the religious-right AND by the modern-day corporate robber-barrons. They realize that they've OBVIOUSLY driven their LAST POLITICAL PARTY off of the cliff, so NOW they're looking for a new group of "privatizers" and "billionaires-only-tax-cutters" to do their bidding.

The only reason that you wouldn't want people to view your source code (like I do routinely with a source-only browser for websites that I don't trust) is that you don't want anyone seeing how bad your code is.

Also, your assertion of "wholly owned code" is obviously incorrect, as good chunks of the code are either copyright someone else (http://www.mindpalette.com/, for example) or generated by Adobe GoLive. The only thing you may hold copyright on is the actual content of your site; the HTML itself is not and cannot be copyrighted, unless your name is Tim Berners-Lee....

I've got the MCE remote running already. Here's my desired setup: Cable -> DCT700 -> PVR500

I know I'll need a second box for the other tuner and that's fine. I'll have to figure out how to get another script working with the second IR port on the receiver instead of the first.Newegg picture for reference.

The script in the link I provided has a lircd.conf for the Comcast remote instead of the MCE remote .conf I'm using. The channel change script is a little more involved than what I need it for since we also have an HD box that we can use for most Comcast needs (on-demand, etc) and the script looks to be heavily tied into the Comcast remote. I went with the script here for the channel change. I then changed the words one, two, ... to 1, 2, ... That is what I hope will work. I'll try it out tonight.

Pensioners do not have to throw away their televisions unless the set in question has no SCART socket, or they can't source a Freeview box with UHF modulator output. They're not easy to find, so maybe we should employ a CRT-Finder General to root out the heretics? You're right about the political upset though.
