The cops round here are budgeted by hitting performance indicators. They get a % of their budget directly from traffic tickets (which they have to invest in vehicular related activity).
The aprehension & protection of people involved in paedophilia is not one of those peformance indicators so it is underfunded and by most people's judgement paedos come under the "bad guy" label.
The cops are the foot soldiers of the state, called in to action against the people at a moments notice. Witness the Tory govt's use of the cops during the miners strike. Witness the WIPO fun day out, witness your cops letting loose dogs on black children in the 50's etc.etc.etc.etc.et.cet.cetc.et.c
The police use arrest as a punishment if they don't like what you're doing, law or no law. Having been on the receiving end of that a few times that ratio doesn't surprise me.
Hunt Sabs in the UK had to resort to bringing civil prosecutions against the cops (winning 1000s of pounds in compensation) just so the cops wouldn't arrest them on sight (to be de-arrested [cop words] 5 hours later).
The police department is like a crew,
It does whatever it wants to do...

I've not had that specific problem but I am having problems setting it so maybe that's something to do with it.
I primarily use Mozilla for development and port the changes to IE & Opera. Javascript console mat be a bit primitive (no select/cut & paste!) but it's better than "Object required" in IE
I used to use Viual Studio on NT but I've moved on.
anyone recommend a better environment, something with a breakpoint debugger would be well useful.

alert(i + " : " obj[i]);

I've only been assigned to the JS lark for a couple of weeks. You can thank the snake for my insights.
sadly, as you have noted, socialists don't have a patent on cruelty
and you are very correct that the British have given the world plenty of lessons in oppression.
Malthus didn't note that it wasn't starvation that provided the real evolutionary pressure in post industrial revolutuion England. Class Cleansing I suppose you could call it. The camps are an extension of the workhouse. It's true that it was "convicts" that were shipped to Australia but you have to remember how people were criminalised. In my home city (Nottingham) the price of a loaf of bread was the cut-off point between capital punishment and transportation.
The colonisation of Australia was a "solution" to inner city over population. Again 10,000+ died on the boats on the way.
I suppose my trite phrase should really be:
"Government doesn't start with the concentration camps but that's where it ends"
you know, the actual differences between the IE, Moz & Opera clients is easier to code round than all that if(NS) else if(IE) crap
for instance
IE lacks getElementById for a document
so the solution is far simpler than
if(IE)
el = document.all["someID"]
else
el = getElementById["someID"]
just add the functionality to the document
if (IE)
getElementById = function (id) { return document.all[id] }
than your code can become more cross platform
I use this technique in my JS and it works a treat
NS doesn't have pixelWidth
solution :
if (NS) {
getPixelWidth = function (el) {// el is a CSSStyleDeclaration
return el.width;
}
setPixelWidth = function (el, w) {
el.width = w;
return el.width;
}
} else {
getPixelWidth = function (el) {
return el.pixelWidth;
}
setPixelWidth = function (el, w) {
el.pixelWidth = w;
return el.pixelWidth;
}
}
these are examples without error checking etc. but using this technique is pretty time saving I can tell you because you gradually build a library of the stuff you use and all the browser dependent stuff only gets executed once at page load.
When you use the back button it goes back exactly where you were on the previous page, and very quickly. For some reason the other browser fail at this.
Their war was fought over the reproduction of the bible.
Men preached of equality and challenged the divine right of kings.
At stake was the right to earn a living from the land. Catching a rabbit on the Lords Hunting Chase was punishable by death in many places. Ordinary people were driven from common grazing and farming lands for the gentry to have it's hunting pleasure.
Brother fought against brother, father against son until down stepped the bishop and up went the weaver.
Although the Royalists regained some of their power the separation of church and state has continued to this day, where high ranking members of the Church of England have a part to play in the day to day running of the country.
Power can and will be defeated but the struggle will always continue.

Furthermore saying GNU/Linux appears to imply that one supports / agrees with FSF, and not all Linux users do.
Using GNU/Linux IS supporting the FSF & GNU because Linux users *are* GNU users.
However GNU users aren't necessarily Linux users.
If you don't agree with / support the FSF and the GNU project I suggest using something else.
(and even that comes with GNU tools bundled)!
oh, btw. good luck getting your kernel compiled with Perl!
hmm
try your newly installed Linux box with all the GNU tools removed then install Perl, Apache & XFree86, see what you get!
It's not zealotry
Unless you count these as zealotry too :
Penske Chevrolet
BMW Williams
Maclaren Mercedes
Jordan Honda
etc.etc.etc.etc.etc.
I believe the phrase is
"credit where credit is due"
it's like saying "anyone sick of all those copyright notices in the header files, I mean come one, all we need is the source code right?"
Oh yeah, I remember now, sorry ppl
I was thinking of IDC / HTX from the IIS 3 days
sure glad I didn't get suckered into those!
the helpfiles format is good, I agree.
The Windows Help version of the PHP manual is much easier to use than it's docbook html cousin.
Oh crap! that almost makes me an MS apologist
ahhhhhh, I'm going crazy like the like the androids in the "I love you. slap!" sequence in Star Trek
That's also at the store within walking distance.
for the people I know in Australia the shop (any shop!) is at least 3 hours walk away!
So by the time you've walked to the shop and back that's 6 hours gone, watch the movie, bring it back, wow nearly 14 hours to watch a movie!
all made in places far far away from Down like Taiwan, China, Malasia!
and you might even lose a few pounds when you take them back to the gym!
using a web site ripper and sorting it from there
.chm files et. al.
but this, of course, is a prime example of how to lose big time.

I use enlightenment as my WM but have KDE installed so I can use konqueor & kate & koffice etc.
I get the best of both then
the E aqua theme is cool too!
is still available!
blimey, the suggestions get worse
Cops are paid to find the bad guys
The cops round here are budgeted by hitting performance indicators. They get a % of their budget directly from traffic tickets (which they have to invest in vehicular related activity).
The aprehension & protection of people involved in paedophilia is not one of those peformance indicators so it is underfunded and by most people's judgement paedos come under the "bad guy" label.

cripes even just storing them in a single directory with a text file description would solve your problem, using grep to search for shit
DCS00012.jpg and DCS00012.txt
grep dog *.txt
How hard can it be ffs!
hack some awk together to create the HTML to browse them.
it's really so simple
Guess how we ended up with so many different *BSD versions?
As the saying goes :
two great things come from Berkley, LSD and BSD
>>IE lacks getElementById for a document
....
>IE _4_ lacks getElementById -- it works in 5.0 and up.
hahaha great. I came at it from "how am I going to get Mozilla to do document.all rather than IE to do getElementById"
note to self, nvr cut & paste the bosses code and believe it the best! Bad memories of document.layer[0].document.layer[1]

say the MTBF for your HD is 5 years
5 machines
the HD in one of those machines will fail every year (eventually)
So one machine ends up being more reliable than multiple.
Plus you can invest in redundancy instead of multiplicity.
Mirror the machine & disks and you're getting on the way to bullet proof

It's been my job to come up with an abstraction of the browser so we can write to a common api instead of all the usual buggering about.
It's a winner because should a browser change we can change internals of the API and all the old code benefits.
extending the interals can be useful too
String.prototype.nl2br = function () {return this.toString().replace(/\n/g, '
').replace(/\r/g, '\r') };
so then any strings have nl2br as a method
although Opera isn't so keen, I'm going to be working on my own subclassess of the builtins next.
oh btw. notice setWidth returns it's value
el1.setPixelWidth(w);
el2.setLeft(w/2);
against
el2.setLeft(el1.setPixelWidth(w)/2);
in the former if somehow w was -100 you probably would not be what you had hoped for
.
