Google managed to fit 62 errors in their 4-line half-page home page.
On another note, 90% of all pages that claim to be conformant, with the "Valid (X)HMTL Strict/Transitional" button at the bottom of the page, are not conformant. This statistic gathered from personal observation.
Sorry I can't answer your question about finding a good book, as I read all my technical information online. Here's a source for great blender tutorials though: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BSoD
BSOD stands for "Blender Summer of Documentation". It was a Blender/Google Summer of Code/Documentation thing they did a few years ago. It produced the best documentation that Blender has to date.
No it doesn't. Whatever public license you publish your work under, you are not bound by that license. You can do whatever you want with your own work, assuming you are the sole copyright holder.
> obviously its not for ad revenue, or they wouldn't provide such a basic workaround
They do it for the ad revenue. Obviously it's not to save bandwidth, or they wouldn't use a solution that triples bandwidth usage.
It's great that they offer a print page. They don't do it as a workaround, though, they do it so people are more likely to print the page. Few people will use it as a workaround, and those people probably block ads anyway. If they offer a print page, it is because they feel the revenue generated from allowing people to print and share their page outweighs any lost ad-generated revenue.
If you use firefox, you can block third party cookies. Close to 100% of the "evil" cookies are third party cookies. And third party cookies are never used for legitimate purposes (not that I've seen).
Just set this key:
"network.cookie.cookieBehavior" 1
Sites can get around this by doing a trick with frames. However, in practice, they never do this, and this technique works nearly 100%, and has no inconveniences beyond setting the key once.
[vlc] Also appears right in ubuntu's package manager, unlike debian where you have to add unsupported repos first.
I use Debian. I don't use VLC, but rather I use mplayer, because I like the command line. But VLC is in the Debian repos. The official, supported Debian repos. The description says that it plays mp3s, as well as several other formats. Exactly what are you referring to?
Kittenauth comes pre-cracked. You see, any time a computer has a 10% success rate for a CAPTCHA, it is considered cracked. Even if it fails 90% of the time, it can still create 100, or maybe 1000's (depending on the speed of the server) accounts in an hour. If there are less than 10 pictures for a kittenauth, the computer can get more than 10% just by guessing. Even if there are 100 pictures (which will unnecessarily burden your server and your users) a computer can still create 1000's of accounts in a day.
The same with hot or not. Just guess not, because they are funnier, and more common.
How about swallowing a frisbee? Anyone who sees you will say, "Dude! That guy swallowed a frisbee!" On the plus side, it isn't fake like ripping off your own head, but on the minus side, it really hurts.
How about connecting each of your joints to the side of a bridge via piano wire. Then jump. Your arms and legs will detach from your body, and your torso will hit the ground. You'll be unconscious before you hit the ground, and your arms and legs will be hanging from the bridge like ornaments. Really good for committing mass suicide.
I had a friend in High School who was kind of morbid. Not really sure how well these techniques will work. I'm sure he had better ones, but these are the only ones I can remember.
You start by saying the Constitution has nothing to do with this, and then you seem to argue that this is indeed unconstitutional, but the constitution is obsolete. You make a good argument for this part of the constitution being obsolete. However, if that is the case, legislatures need to amend the Constitution, not ignore it.
That is a myth that is propagated by parents, grade school teachers, driving instructors, and even some driving handbooks. It confuses the issue. A yellow light is only a warning that the traffic light is going to turn red. When your light turns yellow, you must either continue or stop, depending on things such as your speed, traffic, road conditions, and how far you are from the light.
I thought you could register anything with the Library of Congress. Remember those "name a star" scams a while back? They used to actually register your name to that star at the LOC, before the LOC asked them to stop using the LOC in their advertisements.
I agree that it is a neat idea on paper, but it has not worked out in practice. It is too easily abused, and there is nothing large corporations like better than abuse. If this part of the DMCA act were to have a chance of being a good law, it would require that content producers send their takedown notice to whoever posted something first, and have a legally mandated period to await response (perhaps 72 hours), and only then be allowed to send their letter upstream. As it is, producers send batches of takedown notices to the same place, because it is easier for them, and faster.
Because of the nature of the internet, violating these procedures would have to have punitive damages. Because most content on the internet is published freely and without expectation of monetary payment, it is difficult to argue a case of monetary damages, but the damages are certainly real.
I'm surprised nobody else pointed this out. It's the first thing that jumped at me. They judge security based on how many blacklist products you need to install.
I also think it is worth pointing out the article headline says "UK Banking Law Blames Customers For Insecure OS" and then the summary implies that the UK Banking Law requires that customers use an insecure OS.
Thanks for the warning about TreasuryDirect (even if it is a bit off topic). I was planning on putting some money into U.S. bonds, but not any more.
China is unblocking the English version of Wikipedia again? And they're still not allowing the Chinese version? And they did it silently, because they never admitted to blocking it in the first place? Didn't this happen last week?
I disagree with CG, and agree with the GP poster, CN. Saving lives is only a natural side effect of what House does. He is only in it to solve a mystery, and he only does it for himself.
You can tell how "good" House is by how he treats everybody and everything else. He doesn't care about or respect them. He lied to everybody without remorse, and only decided to cut down on lying when he learned that he can get things from people if they distrust him less. He only serves his own desires, which are neither good nor evil.
You must be new here. A lot of the stories here are about law suits. Typically copyright infringement law suits. There are also plenty of stories about how companies are forbidding open source software. Slashdot often links to Dvorak. It would be less inaccurate to say that slashdot stories are geared towards allowing its users to whine, than slashdot stories are geared towards a happy bubble.
You can't just take one story, and say, "All of the stories are like this." To cut a joke short, a mathematician saw a black sheep in Scotland and said, "Scotland has at least one sheep, of which at least one side is black."

It's not a fast-tracked ISO standard, but HTML and CSS have no conforming implementations. I'm not sure, but links might conform to HTML.

Sure does. It's a hybrid toilet/deskchair.
Now the scammers/phishers just need to do the same thing. And voila!

I think it's more based on his experience reading "studies". It doesn't take a PhD to be wary of studies from random experts on the internet.
