People who are trumpeting this victory as a "win for free speech" need to think twice and consider that there are parents out there who feel otherwise.
Perhaps those parents don't realize that their own free speech, which allows them to TELL their children not to play violent games, is also guaranteed by the Constitution???
"Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.
We have no elected government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address you with no greater authority than that with which liberty itself always speaks. I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us. You have no moral right to rule us nor do you possess any methods of enforcement we have true reason to fear.
No elected government. So then, he who has the mightiest bat (read: lawyers) makes the rules.
So, this dude paves the way for the croporate takeover of the net.
Smart. Waaaaay to go.
Haven't it occured that the solution is better control of the governments by the citizens, a.k.a. "democracy"???
This isn't a case of a kid insulting a jock. It's a case of a kid, jealous of the jock's success and apparent happy life, and angrily observing the jock's disregard for the kid's medieval religious laws, deciding to plant a bomb in the jock's home, destroying his family.
It is the case of a skinny, famished kid kicking back a fat jock in the balls, a jock who became fat by stealing other kids' food.
Well, this only means that the US is turning it's back on Ukraine. Next, they'll turn their back on who? China? India? Then another country, until they turn their back from every country except perhaps Britain or the Cocos Islands...
Like if Ukraine will give a shit... After all, Europe is far closer and has a bigger market that is unencumbered by the silly prejudices americans harbor towards everything foreign...
And for the record, I am not a member of the KKK or any racist group, nor do I know anyone who is, and my family includes people of European, African, and Asian blood.
And Hitler's grandfather was jewish.
(Nazi laws defining "jewness" were carefully crafted so they would not include Jesus Christ nor der führer).
Your chief responsibility is to make sure your boss doesn't make any mistakes, and that he/she looks like a hero. As long as that's the case, your boss will always go to the mat for you, no matter how old/young you are, and nobody else in the company will be able to override them.
Real-life-work 101: Always make sure your boss will be HAPPY to see you.
Iowa State's engineering program also would not accept clep for any science exams - just liberal arts credits.
Stupid policies. Inane schools. I don't miss them.
They are not stupid policies; on the contrary, they are very well thought. They help the schools perform their prime duty: provide employment to teachers.
I've been developing software for 18 years. ... But absolutely NO degree. Nor will I ever get one, TVM. ...
And degrees can work against you, too. A friend of mine got his PhD in nuclear physics mostly by programming collider sensors and visualization routines on a SGI workstation.
A common friend of us told him about an opening at a (insert major avionics manufacturer here) for a graphics programmer on SGI. This being his cup of tea, he applied, only to find his application rejected by the HR drones samped: "overqualified". Fortunately for my friend, a higher-up suit was able to override the HR department and he was hired.
If you speak french, you may want to consider the Université du Québec, which will give you plenty of credits according to your professional experience. I enrolled last year in a 30 credit certificate program, and after they evaluated my professionnal experience, the University gave me 12 credits, which is almost half of what I need to graduate.
And you don't need to cut your career short to go back to school since those are evening classes. If you are diligent enough, you can complete the program in a year and a half.
Given this theory, I am quite amazed that they haven't put a bar code on paper bank notes to make it easier to scan them using readily available hardware.
That's because if barcodes were used to identify currency bills, only a photocopier would be needed to fool the machine.
The US federal government is spending millions a year to have a certain warehouse guarded, and has been doing so for the last 27 years. The warehouse holds worthless gas rationning vouchers printed during the 1973 energy crisis.
Why are they guarded, even though they are worthless? Because they happen to have George W.'s face printed on them, and as such, they register as US $1.00 bills when read by bill readers...
I know of at least one company that got screwed on Sept. 11, 01 because they hadn't even taken a copy of their back-up tapes off site in months. Takes too long. Costs money. Like cab fare. Believe it...
Hopefully, they haven't yet located in the rubble the body of the dweeb who took that decision...
If you are a company who has been 'defaced', the best thing you can do is to try to identify and locate your vandal yourself, and then talk to his or her parents. If you discover that the person your dealing with is an adult... and this will be the rare case, *then* it's time to call the police and start talking about pressing charges.
This is not profitable, as this would deviate precious company ressources away from the goal of pursuing maximum dividends for shareholders who do not invest in the company for it to do some deviant child's parents work.
So if I leave a window unlocked, it is ok to break into my house? If a woman is wearing a short skirt, it is ok to rape her? You have cash on you, it is ok to mug you? You have a nice car, it is ok to car-jack you?
If your appartment/house has an Abloy high-security lock, it is far less likely to be picked than the neighbour who only has a el-cheapo generic tin-metal lock...

1 - it wasn't on a live database, it was on an experimental system.
2 - the command, when run in my head, made sense.
3 - Do you think I'm *that* stupid???
You're the one who brought up Databases, so I figured I'd reply in that vein. As for Linux itself, I've *never* run into a problem that a little Google or mailing list archive searching didn't resolve quickly.
Same thing here. But the funniest is that in about 25% of the time, the solution Google found is written in german or in flemish, two languages I don't have any notion of. But the commands did seem to make sense, and when I tried them, it solved the problem...
Since it was modded down, I'll repost it, so more can see it...
Coming where it comes from...
Marc Garneau's former wife was found dead, along with her lover in a car whose windows was cracked open and a hose was run from the exhaust to the window...
And another can-adian ass-tronaut, a medical doctor, failed to take care of her wife during her pregnancy. So she skipped important tests, and the offspring is retarded. Nothing unusual here, except that the fucking asshole, upon hearing the bad news, squarely put the blame on her and cancelled the shower party.
Even worse, when the family was posted to Houston so the ass-tronaut could do his training, the canadian space agency refused to pay for the special care the baby needed. Needless to say, their salaries were insufficient to pay for this, so the ass-tronauts had to go on strike until the agency funded the special care for the baby.
And, lastly, the second canadian woman in space, Julie Payette, caused an american astronaut's wife strike: since the hot bitch screwed her way to the top, there was no way the chaste american astronaut's wifes would trust their beloved husbands along with that slut, so they went on strike, too, and NASA then said that the hot bitch wouldn't go in orbit.
But, politics being politics, since she is french and a woman, she had to go and the canadian ambassator to the US (the brother of canadian prime sinister Jean Chrétien [buzz.ca]) personally asked Billy Boy (this was before Dubya?) to override NASA's concern for the chastity of their crews.
So, the hot bitch finally went up...
Ain't canadian space politics fun???? (but the baby's doin' fine, though).

When they did the movie, no more bed scene, but rather a gory scene where the baron drinks the kid's blood straight from his aorta.
Looks like the yankees have a sick, perverted mentality where it's okay so suck blood, but not to suck dick.
So, this dude paves the way for the croporate takeover of the net.
Smart. Waaaaay to go.

And you also get paid for it, too!!!

No you can't, since the "extra" bill won't have an unique serial number.
