Some possibilitiesa.) they sell your info to marketers. Threat level: meh, unless it results in spam etc. which then rises to annoying but I can deal with it.b.) they profile you. Threat level: severe. e.g. they prove your IP scrobbled a song and can produce a BT log tying your IP to a swarm on the same song/album. Or just put you on a watchlist.The info itself is not inherently risky but it does expose you to some other associated risks like example b.) above. And the argument 'mp3 tags does not equal owning the song' is going to be as effective as the 'ip is not identity' argument in that its not going to stop them coming after you with a daft but painful and potentially expensive lawsuit. Heck in this case its even more clearcut, what you intentionally mislabel the song? what songs were you listening then? do you own them etc. etc.Its hard to prove whether you pirated X song you scrobbled or not but its how this info is combined with other info that has me worried specifically re: pirated music or accusations thereof.On a wider note, the cynical geek in me finds it hard to believe that anybody is remotely surprised, esp. as last.fm users are going to be technically inclined, couldn't y'all see it coming?!?! Nothing on the internet is private if someone wants to look hard enough, and they (as in 'the man') don't need proof to make your life a living hell via these RIAA lawsuits or anything similar.
I think that you and many other people are missing the real problem. Elementary school children can be as young as four at the start of kindergarten. Elementary schools are just too big these days!.One elementary school in my town has several thousand students. That is just insane.Schools should start small and grow in size. The elementary school should be in your neighborhood. The idea of shipping kindergarten kids like UPS packages to child warehouses is the problem.Of course to build more but smaller schools costs money.....

I can see this getting messy. For instance Rainlendar and Winamp both have TWO listings in Task Manager's application list, yet in my current configuration both just have an icon in the system tray, nothing on the taskbar itself.
Are these going to count as one, two or zero applications each?
in the python csv module you can specify the delimiter (so it can be semicolons, or even tabs). I'm sure you, being so not n00b (what's the opposite of n00b anyway?), could write up a python function to quickly determine the delimiter used in a file.
csv files are also nice in that they allow to surround text in quotes, thus allowing to include the delimiter as data in the field (i.e. "hello,",goodbye would give you two fields)

A quick check of the domain registry shows that the site isn't owned by either Microsoft or Asus. In fact it appears to be some kind of ad agency, probably hired to increase sales of Asus equipment for a third party.
Don't let me stop the conspiracy theories though. I suppose the site is badly designed, looks awful and doesn't actually do anything useful deliberately? Perhaps to instil doubt as to whether such a large and evil corpora
isn't sweden a soviergn country which can make it's own laws? i guess they would have made agreements when joining the EU and possibly face being kicked out if they don't comply, short of that whats the EU going to do besides cry? you can't invade sweden, they are just as nuts as the swiss.

It's being paid for by people who want to use it. Most of the preparations required for turning it into a diving target/reef are also required to drag it somewhere to be scrapped.It was a reserve fleet ship; there's been a big push to dispose of most of them in the past five years or so. Remember those ships floating about through New Orleans during Hurricane Gustav? Yep, at a shipyard being prepped for scrapping.
Orly? I thought it was about looking like you're doing something important to stop cyber terrorism and hackers.Oh well, at least it's better than the war on drugs and pedophilia; at least this way, somebody gets rich.
I too wonder who is calling for a fork. I've followed the mailing list but haven't seen anyone do that.The problem here however is that Massimo Del Fedele's DIB engine most likely won't get accepted into wine, as he have also said himself in an earlier post.
And they only need to increase that by 100,000 times to get to about the same number of neurons as a human brain, let alone the synaptic connections (which would be somewhere on the order of 2,000,000 times what they've done). Nonetheless, progress!
At one time, this thing was the most critical machine in the entire world.

Clearly our priorities aren't on preserving the past. Nor are our priorities to create anything of lasting value. Everything must be created for today to be discarded tomorrow.Should it be any surprise that an old computing device should be disregarded? T
Just get the cheapest inspiron from dell and dump the integrated graphics for...anything that's not integrated. Then you won't have to worry about virtual machines with direct graphics access or any other time sucking rough spots.Also, if you can wait a few weeks, keep checking the best buy circular for the coupon code for the extra-discounted cheap dell machine.

But conventional wisdom is, that's a radical bomb-thrower nutcase position.
