So what exactly makes an older religion more 'true'? Is christianity more true because it is ~900 years older than islam? And is judaism more true then because it is even older. Religions[sects cults] form, florish and wither all the time. Most of them die some time after the death of their leader, while others can make the transition to mainstream and grow after that. Their believers have all more or less the same age, so I think this anciennety is a wrong measure to judge a religion by. In fact I think there is no such measure at all, you cannot judge a religion at all.
I think slashdot is missing the point the MP is trying to make. I don't know the point either (don't live there) but I think it has something to do with their census a few years back where people tried to get jedi-ism registered as an 'official' brittish religion by entering 'jedi' as their religion. (those votes where not counted IIRC) Maybe this guy did so too, and now has to either admit he filled those papers fraudently or continue stating he is a jedi. As noone is qualified to judge the truth in a religion, the later is much easier than admitting fraud.
Or maybe he just needed to score some press points, which he did brilliantly. What was his name again?
If pot was legal, people would not have to go through the trouble to grow it themselves. You can just as easy grow tobacco in your backyard, but people don't seem to be doing that. Homegrowing is a side effect from it being expensive/illegal, not because it is so easy to grow.
You'd prefer a reimplemented api over a emulated/virtualized system because it allows you more integration with the rest of the OS. How will you be doing things like cut&paste drag& drop and a consistent UI if you run a whole OS in it? If you implement just the api that the programs are expecting you will be in a much better position to intercept call you'd want to behave differently.
Ok this may have been suggested before, but: If wine runs on all x86 unix-like OS's, and OSX is unix-like, will wine run on OSX-86? It would open up a very large market for apple without having to invest too much money. They will need to do some tricks to get it to use native widgets and stuff, but that's not impossible to do.
The downside is that the better wine works, the better the adware/spyware works on it too. I am probably not the only one to infect my wine IE install with ad/spyware.
What works for OSX will maybe also work for linux. There are already ABI's to make use of executables compiled for *BSD, so maybe OSX-86 binaries will run on linux soon too. (yup wishfull thinking and pie in the sky...)
that they lanch from their intended facility. Given what it's designed mission was, I am quite relieved that these things don't work too well. It is a pity for the new customers though.
true but the trick is this: the parliament needs an absolute majority to reject/amend it now. This vote is held in the middle of the holiday season and every absentee is counted as a 'yes' vote. Nice trick don't you think? Enough reason for me to choose the side of parties that want to dissociate from the EU. Can somebody please burn down all national and EU patent offices?
yes it could work, maybe, if you have enough knowledge to know what and how to backup and what not to reinstall afterwards. As this is geared at people that don't mind spending such money for a simple job, I can guarantee you that people using that service don't have those skills.
I haven't seen or used a check for ages, so I am pretty happy with them just putting the money in my local account. Now if you would be so kind to click some ads on my site, i'll maybe have that money in my hands soon...
Actually I am using adsense ads as a tipjar. If I like the site I am reading, I click one or two ads. Given the amount you get for most clicks, that counts as a micropayment, doesn't it?
That is my criterium if I will allow it. Konqeror lets me see the valid-till date when it is requested, and I base my judgement for the whole site on that first cookie. The periods range from a day(allow) tru a year(aloow if i think i can trust them) on to far in the future (1-1.2011 or 2037) The latter get instant rejection for all cookies. Konq also has this nice option to disallow cookies from servers other that the one serving the page, I haven't found that one in ff yet?
My bank over here in holland uses a similar system to authenticate it's online banking. You have your card (with a chip on it) you know your PIN (very weak password IMHO) and you get a standalon reader that you have to put your card in, punch in your pin and a 8 digit number generated by them. It generates a 6 digit code that you have to enter in the webpage. It has no connection to your computer, so no inpompabilities for mac/linux users and no chances of spyware/keyloggers making off with valuable passwords. You indentify with wath you know and what you have. The processor only has to know the public part of the keypair (the private one is on your card, probably 'encrypted' with your pin). If such a processor is breached, they will not get any info on the card.
to be easily usable. The technique of using parity to add some redundancy is pretty old, hardly patentable (unless you live in the US).
Recently Azureus and Bittorrent proper extended the protocol with distributed trackers. Who says they cannot extend it another time to include a parity bottleneck remover? The extra info you need would not be very hard math (it has been done before) and is mostly above the transport layer. You just need to know how much you need to download and when you can stop to do the magic trick with the parity reconstitution.
But inherent to the protocol is some sort of bottleneck at some percentage. Say if they add 10% redundancy, that means a tracker/seeder that stopped before 90% (of a download that is now at least 10 % bigger) still will stall all downloaders. This technology will mostly work for trackers with a small number of peers. If the seeder removes right after seeding one copy, a tracker with this technology will have more chance of not getting deadlocked.
But caveat lector: I did not read that MS article and never studied the math.
or change the tyre pressure, or even change the loading of the tyre. IOW: you will not be able to get legally binding readings from such a device. I've ridden in a car (in NZ) that was an import from Japan. If it went over 100 K's, a little high pitched tune would start to play until you slowed down again. Going downhill (the only way to get it fully laden over 100K) was always very relaxing... So these warning lights don't sond so strange to me. It would be great if somebody could corroborate your story.
bout the Author How-to-make-money-online.info is a site focused on Making Money Online and Internet Marketing, listing the many and varied ways of making money online. Featuring, resources, thousands of Internet Marketing articles and useful links.
This article comes with reprint rights. You are free to reprint and distribute it as you like. All that we ask is that you do not make any changes, that this resource text is include, and that the link above is intact.
So that explains a lot. What a crappy article, I wonder if the submitter is the same as the Author?
How much of the other half still runs win95/98/me ? It just depends when they bought their comuters and how long they last, not how long MS thinks its software should last.
ESA~=European Space A(ssociation?) me=dutch=european. Or would you like me to propose to reduce NASA's budget? Can I vote for the next potus then too? please?
ESA pays for ISS too (probably not too much), a very small part is my money. That is why I proposed that much more than that should be deducted from ESA's budget for flying frivolous spacesuits.
Ok i was still reading the article while posting, but shouldn't you be sure to word it correctly: An old spacesuit is in most cases not a surplus spacesuit in the ISS. Hell there is a whole industry in russia monetizing russian space artifacts.
But throwing it out of thewindow of the ISS? come on, this must be a joke. why would you want to do that? It costs (hundreds of) thousands of dollars to get a few kilo's in that orbit. If you are able to spend such an amount of money, surely you can make/buy something better than that? If this is real, then maybe the russians don't have such a crisis with paying for their progress supply ships after all. I propose reducing ESA's budget by the estimated worth of this frivolous spacesuit in orbit.
On the other hand, if the spacesuit is already up there and needs to replaced anyhow, then I'd say go for it. It certenly tickles the imagination as the following discussions will prove..
This artsy project was financed by lottery money (I guess the state runs the lottery in the uk too). So these art failures can be a good example of why you should not waste your money on the lottery.
I haven't got mod points for years, maybe because i like to ridicule those silly yanks. But assuming the parent is a USian, this one shows some severe signs of intelligence. No if the rest of them...
As far as I know, Apple does not use the qt toolkit or kde komponent apart from khtml. So the answer is probably no. If the khtml developers did a good job, the qt dependencies should be not hard to remove anyway.
http://aegis.sf.net/aegis.sf.net and it can do a lot of other things too, like making sure that each change has an accompagning test and that all tests pass before anybody else is bothered with that change.
The biggest downside for aegis (as I see it) is that it needs to run on a central development server, it is not server based like CVS or the others(it has a cvs-like interface for reading). But OTOH, would it be so hare to have the kernel developers log into a central compile farm where the linux kernel is developed.
Porn is one of the most profiting busineses on the internet. What if you just could bunch those profitable business together and force them to pay more? In TFA it suggest a price of 60$ which is about 10 times more then a normal domain. Why should it be this expensive? Are domains with the letter X that much harder to register than domains with the letter c? This is nothing more than a gamble that legisation will force adult content to.xxx. The registar hopes to cash in on that move. Since the expense of 60$ is just small change with profitable porn, they may just get away with it too. Maybe/. should ask a licence to print money from congress too?
It may be greener than follis fuel, but unless they start to feed non-fossil fuels to the powerplants that these algae plants get their CO2 from, if , you burn this biodiesel, you are still contributing to the greenhouse effect. The only thing that has changed is that the CO2 has delivered twice the amount of energy. So this is not an end-all solution to global warming, it only can halve the CO2 emissions, and we probably will need more.

But we will just have to wait to find out.
@ 1: They will need to do some tricks to get it to use native widgets and stuff, but that's not impossible to do.
@ 2: No I didn't. but broken/buggy is a lot further down the road than vaporware (like red box).
