Look into the transit system, there's probably some cool projects to do there. At my City, the transit system has an online application that will determine bus routes for you. Everytime I use it, I think "man, this would have been the coolest project to work on." And it's a really useful app too!
If you want to see it, www.winnipegtransit.com, it's called "Navigo"
Pupil size is only part of the adjustments your eye makes for night vision. The other has to do with the rods and cones... You can find the details elsewhere, but the basic idea is that your eye adjusts to use receptors that are much more sensitive to light, but provide a coarse image with little colour. The thing is, this adjustment takes a lot longer than it takes to adjust the pupil size, and any bright source of light can quickly undo the adjustment.
My point? Well, the drops might be a good idea for if you're going to be in the dark away from ANY bright light source. Once your night vision fully kicks in, you'd probably still be able to gather enough light for decent brightness, plus the clarity you're used to.
Considering Jon refers to his show as "fake news" nearly every show, I wonder how you can really accuse the show as being a fraud? Suggestion: remove the stick that has been lodged deeply in your ass.
I've bought two albums with EMI's copy protection... I couldn't tell the difference from a normal CD. I played normally, and was able to rip all the tracks into iTunes.
If it did install something, it was done in some extremely sneaky fashion. I didn't notice it installing anything, and it would have somehow got around the fact that I was an unprivileged user.
How about the best language for the task you are trying to accomplish?
I've been using AppleScript for a bunch of stuff lately, but when I hit something that wasn't really intuitive in AppleScript that could easily be done in Perl, then I did it in Perl. Obvious, yesno?
Can anyone find that Slashdot story where someone found those prepared CNN death stories for a bunch public figures? I remember Ronald Reagan was one of them.
So who followed the same procedure as me?

Actually, I think it discourages Gator-like behavior. Gator would be installed in Windows while running the installation program, which you'd have to do as Administrator in Win2K. On the Mac (or on Linux using this scheme), to install a program, you don't have to run an installation program, you just copy the directory as root. But when you run it, you run it as an unpriviledged user, and then such Malware doesn't have permission to wedge itself into your system.
As others have already mentioned, it's something you can't observe anyway... But assume that it is big/close enough to barely blot out the sun. It wouldn't be nearly as spectacular as the solar eclipses involving the moon. The fact that the moon is perfectly spherical and covers the sun perfectly is what allows us to see the corona.
Although an annular eclipse where the asteroid filled up 1/3 of the sun would look cool. Kinda like an eclipse by Phobos as seen from Mars.

Shouldn't programmers be responsible for their work? If computer science is ever to be taken seriously as a profession, then that is one thing that must happen. Otherwise, they're just digital plumbers.

Excellent post my friend

Wow, you really do love Linux! :-)
Once this article gets duped a few times, we'll have a Beowulf cluster of stories.
spin.gif is gone :-(

This isn't a troll, it's valid. Slashdot's HTML is terrible. Go read the dillo mailing list archives.

Finally, a post that mentions GNAA moderated to +5 :-)

I'd agree if it weren't for the fact that you need to get at your CD/DVD drive, USB ports, etc.

Maybe they should consider registering oo.org?

Post of the year man
You've got it all wrong... In the year 2004, we would kill anyone who can't prove they don't have a knife on them.
Ummm... Why did this get modded off-topic? Did the mod read the link? The link is all about using cryptography to thwart government censorship.
And it becomes obvious why cryptography is so important...

I'm sure you can find someone to swap your Bearload loyalty card with.
