So you mean that if I got a thousand monkeys watching the output of/dev/random, after a few hundred years they'd go "Woah! The Linux 2.6 kernel source code!"?
I'm fairly sure that a simple web-page or telnet reply saying "This is HarrySquatter (1698416), tukang (1209392) please come in for/. story 1328237" would've been sufficient.
As a biker (motorised or not) who needed to lug around a lot of gear, I have to say that a 15" courier-style bag has served me very well. In it, I can fit a lot of different combos, depending on what kind of thing I intend to shoot:
- 40D + 200mm zoom lens, 40D + 50mm lens and 13" macbook pro for candid/street photography. - same photo gear, but instead of the 13" mbp, a manfroto tripod (for night street photography). - 80mm zoom + tripod for timelapses.
The handy part of a courier bag, is that I can switch between the 50mm and 200mm in less than a couple of seconds. The 200mm + 40D body fits perfectly in the 15" bag. Just get a bit of cushioning fabric so it fits nicely, and you're off. Also, the good point about the courier bag is that you don't necessarily look like a photog, and you can just put the bag on your hip/back when shooting. Because of the nice strap, it's also handy to just attach to the bike when parked and loading/moving stuff from the bike's cases/storage. It does burn in your shoulders a bit, especially with configuration 1, but sometimes you do need the lot when shooting interesting stuff that needs to be sent out immediately (I'm still waiting for a 3G capable card that emails specific shots to a pre-defined address).
I've had a number of occasions where I just put the bike in neutral, whipped out the 200mm and got a grand candid shot, and was gone before the subject ever even saw me.
I think you're completely wrong with the tablet idea. No tablet provides great connectivity/applications for photo editing/retouching on the field. This being said, the 17" mbp is a mistake. Get a smaller one.
Actually, jQuery provide links to a few free CDN servers for anyone to use. These include CDNs provided by Google, Microsoft and jQuery themselves. The main advantage of using public CDNs is that the.js file (whether minified or not) is usually already cached by the browser by the time the browser hits your webpage. And vice-versa, if someone visits your website before Google's (ok, maybe not so likely), Google will benefit because their website will load faster.
So, neither careless development nor cheap people. Just you forgetting to check the jQuery website and being off-topic.
I'll take the French ISP Free. No traffic shaping, no bandwidth cap, no traffic management, oh, and 100MBit down and 50Mbit up fiber connection delivered to your home – not shared by the street as it is with Virgin in the UK.
Reverse ORACLE, it becomes ELCARO. "Caro" in Spanish means "expensive, dear, costly".
I won't bother with the letters-to-numbers conspiracy theories. Hint, the company name converted to numbers is roughly equivalent to the Market Capitalisation on a specific day a few years ago... 'T was Mr. Ellison's birthday... His 50th birthday...
Mainly because public key encryption is way too slow. What you want is generate a random symmetric key, encrypt the data you need with that, and then encrypt the symmetric key using your public key, once, and delete all other traces of the symmetric key.
The end result is still the same, just a whole lot faster.
Not really. My girlfriend takes care of people who suffer of tetraplegia (C1 up to C6), and unless we can use those interfaces to have robots dress them, cook for them, undress them, change their catheter bag, wash them, iron their bedding (to prevent sores), etc, a neural interface would be of pretty limited use.
Sure, it could allow them to communicate, use a computer, or even use the phone / telly, but from what I've seen, few people with such a level of handicap have the drive to do those activities on a regular basis.
Remember that these are people who can't sit up without help we're talking about. Twitter is not one of their priorities, from what I can tell.
I don't know what your karma looked like before, but with +24 Insightful and +10 Informative in just one story, I think you may have broken a record, here on Slashdot.
Doxygen is generally broken for complex projects, or any project that uses macros intesively, or any project that uses define shields to limit the scope of what is available through specific interfaces.
If I run the default config of Doxygen through the server I'm working on, I get maybe 20MB worth of doc, which is utterly imcomplete (it interprets macros as function definitions in classes, etc).
If I deactivate the macro parsing, it includes _everything_, which means 30 redefinitions of the same classes/methods.
In the end, I wrote a perl script that expanded some macros (list definitions inside of classes, getter/setters, etc), and Doxygen generated about 10GB worth of doc.
I was writing it from Mac/Safari as well. Copying something from another web page or form didn't work. Pasting it to MacVim then copying it again and pasting to slashdot did, most of the time, work.
Newer versions of iOS have copy/paste support. Initial versions, however, did not. Which is why I specified "iOS 1"
No, it's more like: "Sir, would you mind eating a bit slower, so that the kitchens have the time to prepare the food for other customers also? At the rate you're going now, nobody else is able to get to the food before you do."

That's a horrible show to have on TV while getting dirty...
When's the last time you shaved in the living room? Fancy getting tiny hairs _all_ over the place?
Lemme guess, the joke sounded a lot better in your head?

Also, the fact that TFA cites a loss of 300k users and TFS cites "nearly a million".
C'mon /., I know that it's nice to be all big balled about throwing big numbers around, but multiplying a loss by 3 is hardly fair reporting.

Let's see. That's over 1km per minute, or over 60km/h?
