The fact is, blogs provide an excellent filter for information. Most of it is tripe, but there are informed writer's such as Juan Cole's commentary on Iraq.
Or you could even read Iraqi's writing their own opinions about Iraq, there's plenty of Iraqi blogs around such as:
These days there are HD capable displays close to the $1000-$1500 mark (of course they arent the best displays but the cheapies never are).
I can't think of that many people who would call a $1500 TV a 'cheapie'. Even if they came down to $500, the vast majority of people won't see why they should have to spend $500 replacing a TV that works fine as it is.
You don't think their parents wrapping them in suicide vests since the age of six, and society promising the benefits of martyrdom to them and their family would have effect on their thinking?
As Golda Meir said 'There will never be peace until the Palestinians love their children more than they hate the Jews'.
"If you need a database, use a real database."
there isoverhead there you may not want to aquire. Also a database is more difficult for a user to understand then a flat file. There are many uses for flat files.
Why is it at all necessary for the user to understand how the application saves its internal data?
Its bizarre, Linux users are stuck with the two extremes.
On the one hand most applications have have (documented) textfiles storing configuration data - In some cases, taken to extroadinarily verbose lengths using XML.
On the other side, there's Gnome, GConf and friends where the data's stored in a proper database, but totally disassociated from the application.
In my current job we're only expected to be reached 24/7 the one week out of three that we're on call, and for that week we carry a company phone so it's no biggie
Same situation here, and its easily the most sensible & flexible solution. You can organise to swap weekends if theres something special on, the company only has one phone bill to take care of and one phone number to pass onto other people that need it.
Plus you actually feel you can be off duty when your not carrying the phone.
The fact is before the event started, Bush was told that a plane crashed into the World Trade Center. Bush, not 6 weeks earlier had been given a briefing called "Bin Laden Determined to Attack in the United States".
You've been watching too many films where American Presidents single-handidly defeat a place load of terrorists, attack alien spacecraft and save the whales.
Life isn't Hollywood, nothing like 9/11 had ever happened before. Only in Hollywood would a president instinctively connect a briefing six weeks ago regarding Bin Laden's evil terrorist network to the news about a place crash.
User options are regarded as bad things. The user shouldn't have to think.
This is exactly right. Options are bad. When Sun asked new Gnome 1.4 users to change settings, such as Panel properties, the users were confused by the range of options available. As a result, a lot of the users either failed to carry out simple configuration tasks, or took a long time to get the right result.
I'd love to see the same tests regarding Gnome 2.6, and measuring ease of use by asking users to change settings using obscure GConf options.
Then a lot of stuff inside GNOME are hardcoded UI's, some are using *.glade files (not to mention that GLADE the interface builder is still not aware of the new Widgets in GTK and even not aware of the deprecated ones)
And Fedora Core 2 comes with GTK 2.4, deprecating GTK_COMBO and a host of other widgets. With glade generating code that directly references private internal data structure of said widgets, assuming of course that they'll never change, makes fixing such applications even more problematic.
So you can call him a liar, but I think he's telling the truth.
I don't think its the complete truth. I enjoyed the film BfC, but the audience was misled about the procedures the bank operated their "Weatherby Program" under.
According to woman in the bank scene, Jan Jacobson
the background checks were done months before the film, not on-the-spot as it appears.
Normally a person must specify a gun-dealer to collect the gun from. Its not done in the bank.
The guns are not kept in the bank, but in a vault, four hours away.
I still don't think the scheme is a sensible idea, but its not what is portrayed in the file.
I haven't seen another pager that has the same functionality as afterstep's. I can see at a glance where all my windows are, and the title of each window (well, most of it anyway, but if you mouse over the window in the pager, the full title of the window shows in a popup).
I'd have to agree. No WM since afterstep has got its pager to be as flexible or functional. KDE decided that it was just all too hard, and gnome that it was too confusing:(
I guess smoking all that crack really does leave you paranoid, broke and with zero sense of humour.
Way to go mods..

The best place for IMAP filtering is on the server itself. That way it doesn't matter what mail client your using, kmail, evolution, mozilla or webmail, your email still gets filtered through one set of rules.
While you may not be able to buy individual votes, the HDTV debarcle shows that the owners of the major media networks can buy laws that protect them from competition.
HDTV is designed to distract the average consumer from the fact that the government has legislated away the possibility of using the spectrum much more efficiently allowing a lot more competition.

Or you could even read Iraqi's writing their own opinions about Iraq, there's plenty of Iraqi blogs around such as:
Healing Iraq
Iraq the Model
Hammorabi
Nabil's Blog
Iraq at a Glance
Road of a Nation
A star from Mosul
Indeed, 'fake' news programs and websites are renowned for their accuracy.
I still remember waking up drunk in the north atlantic a few years back.
I'd suggest that 'hate' is rather a strong word and a lot of people simply use the 'Foe' option to killfile people.
When your tired of one person making some inane comment, its easier to just Foe the guy, move on and have the persons comments filtered out in future.
If people really hated you, they'd be stalking you, using the system to highlight your posts and take every opportunity to insult you.

Canberra, which must be the only city in the world built purely for politicians.

Just the VB programmers please.
I doubt any organisation doing 4 million messages a day is going to be comfortable relying on anything bought off ebay.
I have no problem with this as long as its on the outside of the box, so I can agree or disagree before paying for the software.

It doesnt take much time to send off an email to your local federal representative about this otherwise they'll only hear APRA's side of the story.
They may donate $$$, but everybody has to vote.
The Australian had a negative editorial on this proposal, so not all of the media lobby is behind it.
If your going to simply cut'n'paste for karma, you could at least give credit to the source

Thats a brilliant solution. Of course MSFT may just have the FBI knocking on your door as a potential terrorist, but its still a great idea.
