it's actually not a lot of money for five years, and his real problem is a criminal record and conviction which will result in travel and additional employment restrictions - if he was good at computer, he could have made that money in those five years, gotten better at stuff and not be in jail.
I'd love to see more people taking on scale themselves, but unless the perception that Amazon is a good deal changes, this won't change much in the way of their dominance. Unless you've actually been taken to the cleaners by them on a project, and can convince your boss that owning/renting gear is a better plan, they will still be a first choice vendor. Decision makers read magazine articles (when they aren't playing games on their phone) that tell them Amazon saves them money. Everyone sits around in a meeting and nods their head.
Canada is worse than that, the carriers are not forced to invest in decent infrastructure, so they can cherry pick markets and coverage, and invest their massive profits from price gouging into the sports teams they all own, bought so they can monopolize content on their TV plans.
Not open source, but Livu streams to a server. If you can get a service that records the stream, it doesn't matter if they smash up your phone. I've often thought it would be great in dangerous war zones, but, I guess that can describe a mall in Canada.
Finland, and Scandinavia, are quite expensive, but they do have things which Canada and the US would love. Pretty much everyone works. Everyone who works can afford a decent place. Also, everyone seems to take pride in what they do. You don't get "this isn't me" from people in the service industry, which is the norm in the US for example. Scandinavian education systems are excellent, and produce knowledgeable, skilled graduates who are curious and empathetic. The majority of the populations speak good English and transact business in English. Winter is beautiful and you have to dress for it, so "cold" becomes "I didn't dress properly", not "it's cold" (which it is, it was -30C there last January). Driving is atrociously expensive, but transport is good and is a priority.
With the exception of the health care system, Canada is only saner than the US in the cities, but access to health care is only good in Canadian cities. The US is saner than the US in its cities too. Canadian public educational standards have become quite lax over the last 30 years to the detriment of the workforce, which is an opportunity for the rest of the world, although college technical training is excellent, and most of the universities are good.
Isn't fentanyl used for short term acute pain control? I understand it is only active for about 10 minutes. Why wouldn't it work? Does fentanyl not bind to the same receptors?
The prevalence of mp3 proves endlessly that people want convenience for their favourite song. Youtube and mp3s hurt my ears, but I use them all the time. My records sound lovely, but they sit in a box.
Honestly, I'm more interested in what someone like Craig Leon (Ramones, New Fads) or Rick Rubin (google it) think.
As far as the ripping thing goes, I've said for 20 years that people don't copy and listen to stuff they don't like.
Rogers, and Bell, should be nationalized. They simply exist to provide net to Canadians.
They have one area of expertise - self-preservation.
They spend the billions of dollars they get, on lawyers to lobby the government, and on advertising, so that none of the media companies will question their business practices.
The actual service they provide should get taken over by the government and provided at cost to Canadians, since it is provided by government license anyway.
Rogers has bought up every sports property in Toronto, and will be limiting viewership to pay subscribers to their expensive premium sports channels (sound familiar Yankee fans?); they are allowed to get away with it by transferring a percentage of their revenue to other media companies in the form of "advertising", which means no one will call them on their ways for fear of losing ad revenue.
Discussing throttling is missing the point. If the government is supporting this, they should take it over for the benefit of the citizenry, not a bunch of bastards.
It used to be on the mame.net page, or classicgaming.com. The actual date was Dec. 24, 1996, my 31st birthday, so I guess it got filed somewhere non-volatile.
The page is missing something. Nicola started MAME in December 1996, 15 years ago. There wasn't anything anyone could use until later in 1997, but that's how it started, in late 1996.
Mame just turned 15, IIANM.
I still keep a running mame 0.35, with roms, from around 1999, because it always works, and plays the 1980s games just fine.
It would be quite lovely to be able to point chrome at a file location and run a game. God I'm lazy now....
Well, I work for a media co based on a dead-tree newspaper, and that's the important thing. Make other media - websites, whatever, make money. Use the dead tree thing to drive clicks to the websites, and run em like they're extensions of the old broadsheet. My news/website is fine, started years ago. See wapo, nyt, etc. It's how you use your distribution and penetration in the market. Being a dead-tree newspaper is a start, or an ending, depending on how you build out.
Nothing about why a kid would want to write programs.
My oldest son started playing on my MAME rig at the age of four, GBC/GBA emus at six. He loved the 8 bit Nintendo games.
By age eight I showed him GameMaker. Community, sprite sheets, people writing fan versions. He loved it.
I mean, I'd show him perl and shell and he'd be like, why? But being able to write your own games, that's a motivator for him.
He still does GM stuff, but spends most of his time in Flash, again because it does what he likes.
Context is everything, and awareness of relevant context is a differentiator between any communicators.
In a classroom written context, there will be fewer noticeable differences between native speakers.
As context becomes abstract and less predictable communication starts to break down. Things become less familiar. A great translator, transcriber, or interpreter knows how to adjust and compensate.
The ability to identify the communicating community context is rare. When we say "native speaker" it's a narrow reference to that person's context of familiarity, and I think several posts are trying to discuss this aspect of communication.
The post about McLuhan was great. Also, see the work of Arthur Kroker in the early 90s. Mashups and social networks predicted. "Spasm" - it came with a cd!
There was also a post about newspapers persisting despite the net. Misses the point of this, and this is why tv won't die. The media companies make money with a business model that uses established dino media like newpaper and tv, to drive traffic to money making web based businesses. Pay some attention to what you are being sold, in a paper and on tv. Advertising is about an exchange of influence, not a messaging system. Paying big money for a campaign buys you stuff. That's why you do it. The ad message is largely irrelevant. The transaction is the important business, buying you important regulatory and oversight relief. Funny, eh?
And didn't Xenix have a lovely networking setup too... MSNet anyone?
It is great to see NetBSD being recognized. Small fast slim and powerful, you have to know vi, and put on your own perl. What's not to like?
the customer with no mail has unrealistic expectations. when this is getting set up, it needs to be pointed out that it isn't controlled internally. free, but comes with risks. when i deploy google apps, i stress the privacy and advertising angle more than the reliability as far as potential issues to consider. the reliability speaks for itself, it is what it is, and what it will be. places need to assess if they want to plow dollars into their own infrastructure, or use the dollars on better people. for some places, the risk is worth it to get free email for their domain. since apps recently tied domain mail to outlook and other clients, a reason to not choose it was removed. an honest evaluation of the service needs to be given before a decision is made. here's what they do, here's what you get, here's what it would cost for me to do this in house.
TFA actually states that they have been implementing DK since 04, and that they are now going to drop mail on the floor if it doesn't pass DK; DK works really well for legitimate large volume senders. I've been implementing it since 04 and it totally improves delivery rates to Hotmail, Yahoo and GMail; it is essential for professionals mail admins. DK does nothing in terms of message content, and filtering is a totally separate issue. It verifies that the sender controls their domain and mail infrastructure. All large orgs that send a lot of mail are onboard with this. Spammers are too, but they get shut out later in the MTA to MTA SMTP transaction that negotiates delivery to the final MX destination. For legitimate senders DK and SPF lets you prove you should be sending mail from your domain, and also makes it easier to fight phishers, which again was the point of TFA. Saying that mail will get dropped because of DK, while true, is missing the point, and all of this nonsensical posting about spam is irrelevant. Mail that should get ignored will be ignored. Senders will have to implement DK properly, or their mail won't land. This has been true for years now in the real world. Hotmail and Yahoo both throttle any sender who doesn't sign and why shouldn't they. Do it right, and you can deliver a thousand a minute. Ignore it, and die in the queue...

yes, the Northern Telecom touch tone telephones. I have one hard wired into a punch block in my house. Makes a pleasing ringing bell sound when someone is calling. Always works. Sounds fantastic. Will not break or stop working. I just can't walk around with it.

I trust Colin Percival implicitly. His speaking matches his writing to an astonishing extent.
