Putting SSH on a different port is only giving you a false sense of security.
Or no change in your sense of security, but a much smaller log file because of the lack of script-kiddy brute force attacks on the service. It depends on who you are and what you know.
Do they have the same amount of variety that exists across Europe ? Fresh cheeses, soft cheeses, half-hard cheeses, hard cheeses, runny cheeses, chewy cheeses (like halloumi), big wheels of cheese, small pungent cheeses (I am from Belgium b.t.w.)?
More importantly, is it actually cheese or is it that strange American rubber? I may be British and not keen on soft cheeses (like Brie) but the Americans seem to find it hard to do a decent cheddar.
I think Wisconsin might be good, but I can't remember. I do remember that Stephen Fry visited a cheese place and commented on how horrid the rest of the world found American cheese (especially the spray stuff) but I can't remember what he thought in the end.
Also, aren't those things only once every few seconds for photos? That'd let you capture people as they pass, but it won't stop someone getting right up to you and suddenly lashing out.
You're also a little dependent on it not being stolen/broken in the attack. Either that or you've got one hell of a good data plan on a "works everywhere" mobile connection!
If I love a song I bought from an artist and want to send it to a group of 5 friends, I either have to spend 5x what I spent for me or be labeled "greedy pirate who steals from artist" instead of "enthusiastic fan through who the promotion of the artist is done".
Or suggest that they find the song themselves, or invite them round to listen to the song themselves (if you know them in RL), or find a sample that is already legally online.
The thing is, there is simply no legal way of doing on internet some of the things that music fans regularly do in the meatspace (or at a cost of dozens of times what it costs usually).
Like what? At a real push you can use VOIP instead of inviting people round. Failing that, a lot of songs (the most downloaded ones) will already have samples in various locations including iTunes (which now has a web front-end) or similar. LastFM seems to get more and more songs to listen to these days as well, all of which are free.
- music fan (who used to be a student with no money) who would love to have a way to pay for artists through internet in a way that both respect consumer and artist (i.e. cheaper on internet than on physical media and with a greater artist share. iTunes is notoriously bad in the latter aspect)
And instead of showing self-restraint and not benefiting for free when they should legally be paying, they disrespect the artist by taking a free copy and not paying them at all?
Don't get me wrong, copyright can often be a bad thing (out of print books/games/etc that is in an unusable limbo, extended terms that are way longer than necessary, legal threats that are out of all proportion to the offence, etc) but I still don't buy the self-serving justification that is sometimes wrapped in fancy words and imagery. Either you want it and you pay for it conventionally, or you find an alternative (legal) arrangement that works, or you don't get it. Anything else is a contradiction so that you can have your cake and eating it too (having both a moral "I think artists should be paid better" and a "I make copies for free without remunerating the artist because I want it").
As for "filesharer", that unnecessarily drags a group of legal and legitimate users of file sharing (e.g. for downloading Linux distros) into the same group as those breaking the law for no reason other than that they're too greedy and cheap to actually pay for stuff.
We proposed "filesharers" but apparently that is not what they are looking for.
You'd have thought that "copyright infringers" would have been short, to the point and accurate. Maybe that doesn't sound evil enough, even if it is correct.
As for "pirate", not only does it end up sounding 'cool' but it always had the wrong definition anyway, so it isn't surprising that they need something different.
You can get 60GB for under $120? Damnit, I considered an SSD recently and 30/40GB was £100 for the cheapest ones. Didn't get it in the end because of reports of degrading performance over time. That'd be one hell of a downer if you'd bought something that large and expensive!
Some European telecoms groups fear Google will reduce them to 'dumb pipes'
That is really all that they are, or at least should be. They are not content providers, they are merely facilitators.
Maybe their concern is that it'll become obvious to everyone that they're dumb pipes, and that they're dumb pipes whose business model, pricing infrastructure can't cope with piping all that well.
The dock, and the scroll bars, and the buttons (although that was in 10.3 that I last saw the buttons), and the pretty much every single icon for the huge majority of apps. The main title bar and other widgets are a bit better than the Vista/7 shine, though.
Then you're obviously a pirate and the scum of the earth. How could any sane and sensible person ever disagree with that idea without being some horrible and immoral person who just wants to suck these poor, defenceless little companies like EA and Blizzard dry?
(More honestly, I agree with you. I've got Dawn of War and its expansions and never once wanted to play online. Too many idiots, too much commitment, not just a simple pick-up-and-play).
You can add "features" in terms of "laying things out slightly differently, or providing highlights and other feedback, all of which still interfaces with an identical feature set of the app underneath".
Or "it is acting like it is open in the same way as straping stabilisers to a motorbike makes it like a sports car".
Besides, if you didn't want flaming for them then you presumably know that they're hideous or something, so why put them up?

Gnome 2.30 Released

Seriously, I set it to show hidden/backup files and tar up a directory (after checking the files) and SENT MY BOSS BACKUP AND HIDDEN FILES THAT I DID NOT WANT TO. That could have been the end of my little world!
That's your fault for thinking that a visual setting has anything to do with a filesystem operation, and for not checking what you send. A couple of years ago I got caught out the other way - File Roller was ignoring . folders, which was a PITA because I kinda needed them.
And people use Gnome because KDE is too much like Windows (i.e. the default theme has the panel at the bottom).
How this remotely connects with what you said above? People use GNOME for very different reasons, and I think default position of panels are least thing which makes people to choose one or another.
Not just that, but openSUSE just has a bar at the bottom by default and I personally much prefer it. All the professional usefulness and good apps of Gnome with themes you can use all day without getting eye burn, and only one bar. I've set my Fedora machine up the same as well.
That said, I do use Gnome Do a lot, so I don't tend to use the bar for anything more than a list of apps and my clock!
If modern = hideous shine effects (ala Windows....and Mac...and KDE) then give me Gnome any day. I want something I can manage to look at all day if I have to, not something that burns my eyes after half an hour. As for themes, I like Sonar these days - nice, well executed and not too bland.
*shrugs* Dunno, never worked with LDAP. I just know that the last company I worked at used Active Directory and assumed there would be many similar implementations.
So, a bit like the big Tech companies threaten, we're currently all at risk under some ominous black cloud, but that cloud might end up not really being problematic in the long term? Well done lawmakers!
Are you sure? I thought we had the stupid situation where companies were being granted patents in the UK in spite of the fact that Europe had banned them. IIRC one politician (who had obvious corporate connections) said it was only "right" and "fair" that they should be allowed more protection!
Maybe I'm just interpreting it wrong, but that is how I read it.
That imaginary patent was about password protection in case anyone missed it...
And, as the title says, your patent is badly worded (in a good way for a company) since it also probably covers other methods of ID/verification (central logon via something Active Directory-esque, biometrics, etc)!
And yet if it is anything like "alternative medicine" then they'll just claim that "the experiment is wrong" or "you can't measure it in that way" or some other such crap that says "I might have been proven wrong by evidence, but I'll claim the evidence isn't valid without anything to back me up".
Are those real roundabouts, or the crappy "mini-roundabouts" that we get in the UK? I indicate on both (cycling or driving) and I know it can be difficult to time it on mini-roundabouts, but some people can't even cope with indicating and large roundabouts or indicating and turning left (the first turning on a roundabout in the UK - the one where they don't have to indicate on and indicate off again).
Drivers slow down in built-up areas? I guess some do, but there's always lots who don't.
We'd probably do a better job in reducing "dangerousness" by making the penalty for repeated speeding and reckless driving something more serious than it is. Maybe death?

What if they don't like the red umbrella?
Perhaps it is American-centric and the Severn isn't big enough?
More importantly, is it actually cheese or is it that strange American rubber? I may be British and not keen on soft cheeses (like Brie) but the Americans seem to find it hard to do a decent cheddar.
