Plan9's primary on-disk storage is Fossil, which runs in user mode. (Plan9 doesn't have a super user)
You can run arbitrary programs in Plan9 that present a file/folder directory structure by using the common 9P protocol. All devices look like files and folders and can be manipulated like any other, even at the permission level.
For instance, I have an image mounter that takes a tga file and presents 1 folder containing 4 files, red, green, blue and alpha. I can then use any tool I like to manipulate those files using the file semantics we are all familiar with. I even have a flag that mounts the files as textual rather than binary, i.e : 00 00 ff ff 00 00 ff ff ff ff 00 00 ff ff 00 00

My only option is to recall Nazism, so please don't apply Godwin's Law to this =)
Prior to the occupation of Europe, Dehomag (IBM's European Subsidiary) tabulated the census data of unoccupied European Countries at their behest. This seemingly innocent data was then co-opted by the Nazi state, with the help of IBM. IBM had recently introduced Hollerith machines and the Nazis were IBM's best punch card customer. In 1937 Thomas J. Watson was decorated by Hjalmar Schacht, the Nazi Economics Minister with the Merit Cross of the German Eagle, whilst draped in Swastikas at a party thrown by Goebbels, at a cost of 4 million Reichsmarks, in front of 3000 people on Peacock Island, Berlin.
Census seems like the most innocent seeming question of all : who are you ?
What do you do, exactly ?
Is not a question I feel like anyone has the right to just know. Humans lie all the time "I can't, I'm busy" or "Sorry I'm late" or everyone's favourite "nothing, it's nothing", it is part of getting by.
I expect they would categorize the terms aggregate the terms via cookie data profile the cookie owner correlate the search terms against profiles
and then make inferences that profile A has a X% chance of being a male aged 10-12 and that Y% of people with profile A search for porn
Once they have found politically suitable figures for X and Y for N child like profiles they will announce that this is proof that Something Must Be Done and oh look,, this Bill here will do nicely
myself I'd add a bit of extra script to make sure that the ping came back first but still not much harder
<script language="javascript">
function ping(urls) {
var html_doc = document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0);
var js;
var u;
for (u in urls) {
js = document.createElement('script');
js.setAttribute('language', 'javascript');
js.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
js.setAttribute('src', urls[u] + '?userinfo=DrSkwid&sid=174300');
html_doc.appendChild(js);
}
return true;
} </script>

My Ajax site degrades perfectly with "settings" for : full features, js but not XHR, no js.
The WebDeveloper Extension in Firefox even has "no XMLHttpRequest" coming as a feature to help testing in this area. While I'm waiting I have the UserAgent Switcher telling my site which features to think I have.
Once you've spent a while getting used to the framework it's not so hard to write accessible code.
In my days as a hunt saboteur I have seen high ranking policemen defend the right of sabs to wear balaclavas (ski masks) and other identity obscuring clothing.
Contrary to popular belief you run in to quite a few sympathetic coppers in that line of protest. Especially after they'ved been ordered about by a few Audrey Hamilton's.
OT : I know a lot of Americans like their hunting and those of you who don't care one way or the other about hunting, I just want to make the point that in England hunting is not just a sport, it's a heritage. A heritage of murder, execution, force land clearance and other negative behaviour that resonates through our society and legal structure to this day. Reformation of society should be a constant and land ownership is central to this.
I finished it the other day, it doesn't really change.
Pretty and fun though. My friend spent a few minutes and all his grenades trying to kill a something in the next room which turned out to be a photocopier left running =)
Not sure about the text bit though, I have no idea what/who we saved or why. "kill everything" is the only instruction I need.
Quake is a 3d game with 3 axes of movement and 3 models. Doom is a 2d game in a 3d environment with 2 axes of movement and sprites.
They are literally worlds apart.
Quake4 has introduced a few new concepts : projectiles are proper 3d objects that bounce such that bullets will richochet, grenades will use jump pads etc.
One of F.E.A.R.'s sections has walls that do that.
You fight a robot guard thing that's too big for the place (some old housing).
Both your explosives and it's robot arms will smash away the partition walls.
It was quite effective and an excellent surprise and not one of those "smash your way through 100 walls so we can show off" features. They guy I was watching play that bit didn't even notice that his grenade blew the walls out.
What I Want is an FPS that is truly hard to defeat. We (my friend above and I) were saying "it's going to get real tough in a minute" and then it ended. The last boss was uber lame, bring back Duke and shitting down the last boss's neck !!
When you say "just fine" do you mean "without any of the special effects that make F.E.A.R. slightly more interesting than othe FPSs" or does it have the full particle system and 3d space deforming weaponry ?
Slashdot Mirror
that splits infinitives !!
The _default_ is to not allow conversion.
Sorry Linus its should be : The _default_ is not to allow conversion.
Or, I suspect this form would be more appropriate: The _default_ is to disallow conversion.
Idiot, usage drives Websters, not the converse.
"Ramping up production" is a widely used phrase so, pleaee, shut your mouth.
I can't be bothered to point out the mistakes in *your* post, but trust me, there are many.

$250 is 1-2 days work. I think I can stretch to that for 1 years use !!
I'll take both, thanks.
