These are my thoughts exactly. I was wondering if North Korea had become so insignificant to the world that people just forget about it and call South Korea "all Korea"...
Thats like saying "All of America" if you just mean the USA. oO"
I google'd google after I noticed that the website of my local firedepartment was flagged as "potentially harmful", checking whether every site was flagged.
The bug is gone now...luckily. I was expecting the first calls from family and friends asking me why google wasn't working for them xD
I give it...2 hours until this appears on failblog. ^_^
I guess you could just buffer the radio/TV for 2 minutes in advance (depending on how long the show is you want to see/listen to). The program would then stop buffering the show for the duration of the advert and continue recording as soon as the adverts finish, enabling you to watch/listen to the show in one interruption-less stream.
...that would be...
- Buffer estimated ad time (pre-record the beginning of the show)
- Start playing the stream
- If an ad appears, pause the recording
- Continue recording after the add
= Interruption-less viewing/listening pleasure xD
In my opinion there is a high degree of rediculousness behind this whole story.
Where is the border between something being a part of an OS and things that aren't?
Next thing will be for them to want Microsoft to remove the Text editor, the file manager, the GUI and the Image Viewer from Windows, leaving you with a command prompt when you install it.
I mean, as much as I dislike using Windows, putting myself in the position of a "I don't know anything about computers and don't really care to learn, I just want them to work." type person, I'd feel really pissed off about not having a browser installed on my system when I buy it. I, as a Linux user, like to choose what is on my system though. =)
Anyway, I think what the EC should do instead of making Microsoft remove IE from its OS is to start a campaign to advertise alternative browsers (Firefox, Opera, Chrome...etc).
Has there been a similar suit against Macintosh?
Just use Picidae to bypass the block. It takes the contents of a page, takes a screenshot of it while all links are converted to picidae links, thus making the whole site visible but filtering programs can't read the site.
I started playing Tabula Rasa this September and have been hooked ever since. Its a really good game, really underrated in my opinion.
Well anyway, not only is the NCSoft team planning on making the last few months a lot of fun, there is also going to be a nice present for people who currently have active accounts:
This is something I'm definitely thankful for NCSoft willing to give me =)
Remember the days when you sat in your cellar, hacking away at your code by the melancholy light of your 15-inch monitor? Your fingers tapping each key in a... rough, but wonderfully familar way.
What speech recognition creates is a world where you can go jogging while hacking away verbally! Oo"
Yes, its only google now, but just wait until we have voice-controlled emacs!
Sentimental programmers unite to preserve your traditional tools!
Great, now I have this song going through my head:
"Where have all the pagers gone?
Long time passing.
Where have all the pagers gone?
Long time ago..."
I think todays Netbooks are the smallest you should go if you are wanting to put the device on a table and type on it (as compared to holding it in both your hands, typing with your thumbs). I have an Aspire One by Acer and it always takes me a few moments to get accustomed to the smaller keyboard when I fire it up. I really cannot see how I'd work productively on a journey with the iKit. It would be interesting to see development in alternative input methods =)
Slashdot Mirror
has an interesting proposal on how to treat them:
Here
...where as...Uranus could lead to...analogies.
but...I guess analogies could...also lead to...analogies.

So what would happen if this ship were to explode at take-off, say...somewhere in the lower atmosphere?

Who DIDN'T take a screenshot of this?
We might as well continue polluting the environment, since it wont make any difference anyway? oO"

Haha, that would definitely save them some development cost.

this page on picidae.
Picidae Homepage
Page that lets you browse the web over picidae
World's largest supersoaker?
No:
...although they are pretty nice.
Sauerbraten
Open Arena
Nexuiz
But seriously...a good resource to check is this list on wikipedia.
That should give you more than enough to choose from =)
I think I'll stick with using Compiz Fusion, thank you very much. Free and Versatile ftw! =)
Well... this is what they call an "unreal moral dilemma" in ethics as far as I know. =)
Yup, its not good news for me as long as there is no Linux port =D
It appears we were STANDING on the weapon of mass destruction all along!
Theres me wondering what the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) has to do with censorship.
Its like that anecdote, that the US spent millions on inventing a ball-tip pen that would work in space while the Russians just used a pencil ^^

Now all we need is a standard compliant browser to run this on! *cough*
