Woody still has M18. Guess debian users will have to wait till sid is released.
Uhm, no.

Well, the St. Paul protest was mentioned in the
comments of Friday's slashdot story. But if
you want to keep up with what events are going
on get on the -announce email list mentioned at
www.boycottadobe.com or freesklyarov.org. More events will probably be coming.
I missed the protest, but I did get a chance to
put up a bunch of posters. Do what you can to help.
I don't really have any other advice - I very much doubt that you'll be able to locate any banking institution that would be reasonably convenient for you to deal with that will in any way respect your privacy.
If you want a finanancial institution that will
respect your privacy, I would suggest trying a
credit union. Credit unions are generally more
responsive on issues like this, since they are usually run by their members (my CU holds
elections for board members every year). Also,
credit unions tend to have better rates and fee
structures, since they don't have to pay profits to share holders.
The best introductory language depends a lot on who the course is aimed towards. For some student
populations Java might be best, but for other C,
C++, Cobol, or even Fortran might be best.
Back when I was an undergrad, different sections of Intro Programming were taught in
a variety of languages. Different engineering
departments allowed their students to take different languages, but the only section that
all of the engineers could take was 2/3 Pascal
and 1/3 Fortran. It was definitely a weird combination, but I thinked it worked out pretty well. Learning 2 languages right away makes it
easier to pick up other languages on your own
later. Plus, Fortran was still (and probably is still though C/C++ are making some headway) the dominant language for engineering/hard sciences.
So anyway, Java might work OK, in some of the
situations above, but I'm not sure that having a
particular language that is the dominant one taught
in introductory classes is the best option
While I was there I noticed that the CERN neutrino beam went right down the main street of the nearby town of St. Genis in France and on into the Jura Mountains. I wonder if the townspeople in St. Genis would feel comfortable knowing they were being irradiated, even if they understood the particles wouldn't interact.
Of course, this isn't as bad as the MINOS project which is scheduled to start beaming
neutrino's from
Fermi National Lab in Illinois to the Soudan mine in northern Minnesota (800 meters underground) to
test for neutrino oscillation. Anyway this
beam
passes under the state of Wisconsin (and almost
under Madison). After, having lived in all three
of those states, it wouldn't surprise me if some
conspiracy nuts think that the whole thing is a
plot to irradiate Wisconsin;).
I know several languages that allow operations
to be done on matrices. Surprise, sursprise, its a common feature in language tilted towards numerics. Fortran 90, IDL, etc.
This doesn't give the election to Bush. It just
makes the contest phase for difficult for Gore. The contest is still going to continue, but
now it will be that much harder for Gore to make
his case.
The only trailer I saw (which I saw 2 or 3 times) didn't give away anything. It makes the point that the Bruce Willis
character miraculously lives through a train crash
and there is possible something weird about him. The Samuel L. Jackson character is also introduced. But nowhere is it obvious that comics are going to play a role in this movie. Also,
no information is given about either of the
characters background. Going in to the movie I was expecting the Bruce Willis character to be more of a messiah type - maybe even an alien - than an actual super hero.
Also, all of the stuff you say about his son is spoilers - its not even clear that he has a son
from the trailer.
Anyway, the whole spolier thing touched a nerve with me because Unbreakable's trailer
did the right thing, while trailers I saw last night wrecked two movies for me - Castaway and Family Man. In each case I was interested
in seeing the movie before the trailer, at least partly
due to seeing other trailers about a month ago that didn't
give much of the plot away. Now, I'd be very shocked if
there were any surprises left in each of these movies. Oh
well, maybe I'll just have to go see Unbreakable again.
I loved this movie and I thought the ending was great. The ending was a little abrupt, but I think
that it was advantage to be abrupt. Even, the text at the end, I think adds to the uncertainty
about what happpend in the movie, instead of taking away from it.
The movie had twists and turns, and you can never be sure exactly what's going on and what's going to happen next. And it was a great ride.
I also like the fact that there are multiple interpretations open to what happened. My favorite alternate interpretation is that that
nothing supernatural happens in the entire movie.
"Mr. Glass" is just a loonie who reads too many comics (a tragic, character, but a loonie nonetheless). David Dunn is a troubled soul who
gets caught up in Elijah's tail. Dunn's very lucky in the car and train accidents, but there's nothing supernatural about that luck. His great strength under duress, is simple adrenaline buzz.
His seeing bad things that people have done, is intuition that his mind expands on to fill in the
details.
Do I think that this really what happened in the movie? No, probably not. But I love the fact the
possibility is there, like there is for Bladerunner.
I don't think that he's talking about the Taskbar,
but insteasd about the little bar that left after
you turn the taskbar off. The one that only includes the padlock and plug symbols.
That being said, Mozilla still sucks on Linux compared to W2K and solaris.
You think Mozilla is better on Solaris? I have
the opposite impression - though 95% of my experience with Mozila is on Solaris. Of course,
my biggest complaint about Mozilla on Solaris right now is that PSM has disappeared, so there's
no way to look at https sites. Also, it seems
that there are more problems with integration with CDE than with Linux window managers.
What OS are you using mozilla on? If its Linux
or Windows, its really easy to add SSL support.
Under the Debug Menu, choose Install PSM. Then
follow the directions on the page that you get
taken to.
However, what I was referring to by west, admittedly it was vague, was western florida which is a republican stronghold. When it was announced that FL, MI and PA all went to Gore, there were reports of republicans simply leaving polls figuring that the election was over.
Huh? My understanding was that all of the polls in Florida were closed for almost an hour by the
time the first network called the state. Do you
have a link for your statement?
You know what that sounds good, but I dont even think it will be right... If you write out a very
large number in binary their is very little chance that the zero's and ones's used will be
anywhere near or even close to 50% each.
Incorrect. Find your self a decent statistics
text and read it (or at least look at a statistics
site like this [I wish the Treasure Trove was still up]).
Anyway, for a truly random numbers, the chance that there will be about half 0s and half 1s is
quite good.
I think a point that has been missed about Gore's
proposals is that he is not proposing new laws.
Instead he has been "negotiating" with companies
to try to get these features added. Take a look at
Gore's Internet and technology
Agenda (these proposals are about halfway down the page) to see what he's really proposing.
I don't know if I these proposals are useful,
but I don't think that they're censorship. The
proposal to allow for monitoring what sites your
kids go to seems like it would be pretty easy to implement in a browser. All you really need to
do is lock down the browser history feature. It wouldn't take very long to add a feature to Mozilla that required password access to clear/alter the history.
FN3. "Information superhighway" is a term initially popularized by
then- Senator Al Gore. See Al Gore, Networking the Future: We Need a
National "Superhighway" for Computer Information, WASH. POST, July 15,
1990, at B3.
I would post a link to the Washington Post Article, but their archives aren't free.
I don't have a definitive source, but Gore's
certainly the first person that I remember
using that term. The term "Information Superhighway" always made me cringe, but I remember Gore using it to champion money
for the internet since the early to mid
'90s. If he didn't invent the term, he certainly
popularized (do a Gooogle search yourself and see). Not one of his finest moments.
Oh, I don't hate Katz, though I do think his
writing could be better. And I usually
don't read his articles. But when I saw
that he was going to be speaking, I thought
others might be interested.
As for why other people dislike Katz, a
search through the/. archives will give
you a better answer than I can give. In
most Katz articles there's a highly rated
anti-Katz rant.
