As a counter point to the parent poster:

The majority of driving jobs for mining equipment (http://www.comcen.com.au/~heretic/humour/img/upsi dedown.jpg) go to women (millions of dollars of equipment, where time is money and trucks are running 24/7). Not only do they drive the trucks but support vehicles as well. Personnaly I know twice as many professional female drivers than male drivers.

Granted, driving skills around here are far above average anyway, it is an almost daily occurance that you will be sharing the road with anything from road trains http://home.tiscali.nl/~rtmeulen/rtmfotografie/fil es/reizen/aussie98/pics/road%20train.jpg,http://ww w.ausfuel.com.au/images/Volvo%20cruising.JPG,http: //www2.cemr.wvu.edu/~wwwasph/pictures/rdtrain.jpg , mining trucks http://www.comcen.com.au/~heretic/humour/img/what_ ute.jpg to APC's. The general procedure for getting people out of the way (of exceptionally wide loads) is for a cop to drive on the wrong side of the road with lights flashing. Mind you, this is on a 100km highway (where your going ~110km/h and the cop is going 40-50km/h) which doesn't leave a whole lot of time to get off the road.

I'd say women can drive just fine.

Since nobody has (yet) taken the pains of posting the mirror list (yea, yea, I know, this is /.) -- here it is:

Hmm .. I wonder if the /. lameness filter was designed so that people couldn't post whole mirror lists themselves. Telling me that I don't have enough characters per line. I think I'll just ask the KDE people to create a static fast-serving no-css page full of mirrors for KDE whenever a release happens. That way, at least some amount of trouble would be saved. Goes off to mail KDE team ...

WARNING: VERY BAD FORMATTING to get around the lame lameness filter.

Those damn Chinese Sons of Bitches!

If you haven't seen the End of the World, then have a look at what you are missing.

Look at the research yourself, it seems the recidivism rate for sexual offenders and children predators varies between 10% and 40%. The rate is not 100% as you make it seem to imply. You may think 10% or 40% is too much to bear, or that the research is flawed because many sexual offenses go undetected, I won't argue with you there and that's not what I'm arguing -- I'm just trying to distinguish what is fact and what is opinion. You *said* that "the research" backed up your claim and that's simply not the case.

The first article is a study, which analyzed the combined results of 61 previous studies on this topic.

The second article is a review of the literature on this subject.

The St Roch, commanded by Sergeant Larsen, needed 28 months to complete its first traverse of the NW passage, during WW2. (Basically defending the Canadian Arctic from our insensitive American allies.) The recreation of its voyage, in 2000, encountered clear sailing in waters that had been choked with ice sixty years earlier, providing very clear evidence of global warming.

Whilst we're on the karma-whoring links...

This is an excellent introduction to colours on computers, complete with (working) algorithms for conversion.

Thanx a lot for the notes, I actually got it to work - except for completing the download.

I tried to use an altered version StreamBox VCR, and got past the http error with the realmedia user agent string, but it crashes right at the end :((

In case anyone else out there is stuck, heres what I did in a win environment. You might not get the crash at the end...

1) get the url to the file.
go to the site, start viewing the movie. now you should be able to find the link in your temp internet files.
.... or, just use URLsnooper.

2) Get streambox
Now you should have the link to the .rm file, you need to save the file. For this I used StreamBox VCR. Get the latest beta and patch and crack as instructed. Test the program on some file. If you have problems, there is a manual here

3) patch streambox
you can try on the .rm file, but you will get a http error before it manages to save the file. The problem is the user agent, as targo explained. Streambox sends a mozilla header, not a realmedia header, so you will have to hex edit streambox. So get a hex editor (eg ultraedit), open the vcr.exe file and ctrl-f to find (ascii) the string "mozilla". When found, CAREFULLY replace

"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows NT; CNETHomeBuild051099; DigExt)" with
"RMA/1.0 (compatible; RealMedia)" - followed by 44 white spaces, so you dont change the size of the file!

4) get the file
now save and run vcr.exe file, get the file. streambox should now send the proper header, and you should be getting the file.
I had to change "amount of attempts" to unlimited, and I lost the connection once... but it worked.

If this worked, it would be so beautiful, because this way I can rent a movie and download the 300kb version, which I dont actually have the bandwidth to view streamed. Anyway, thanx for the help targo. If you feel like uploading your c program somewhere, that would be cool too.
