Of course we're hoping that these suspects are suspected by way of a fair investigation, and given due process and representation. As opposed to officials picking up a person at a cybercafe who used the same computer as a scammer had used 15 minutes prior. I have a friend in Africa who makes it his business to hunt down 419'ers and he says a lot of them are average joes, some employed and some unemployed, waltzing through cybercafes to send 419 emails.
I don't know much about Africa. It's a big continent, and I do know that a lot of areas are fairly lawless or corrupt way more than in corporate America. After RTFA, I don't see whether we can take justice for granted.
I should run ReactOS in Bochs, so I can still have things like memory protection and resource management even when I'm forced to use Windows 98. Coz it's one OS that doesn't wanna operate *this* system.
The reason is because you can't get the copyright permission on the public performance of those 10,000 songs. Music on hold (MOH) is a public performance, and companies sell specially licensed collections for that purpose. It's similar to libraries of background music for radio and tv.
I was just thinking of bioethics in general, because they're probably intentionally mutilating these rats. The procedures and technology can change, but the methodologies and ethics may remain. In addition, Joni points out that there are sometimes ways to do bioresearch without cloning and such in the first place, and finally that if she could be healed of her quadriplegic condition by unethical means then she doesn't want the cure. Maybe it's a bit of a logical tangent, but ethics are always highly relevant at every level of bioresearch. Just fyi!
"I abhor vivisection with my whole soul. All the scientific discoveries stained with innocent blood I count as of no consequence."
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."
Oops. I forgot the Dream Theater lyrics on the subject of bioethics. I got modded as troll! I must be doing something right! However, I accidentally forgot to prefix it with "I know I'll be modded down as 'troll', but..." so that it'd catapult to +5.
"Paralysis by spinal cord injuries through accidents must be one of the most horrible life-altering experiences imaginable..."
Seconded only by receiving paralysis by spinal cord injuries through intentional torture and dismemberment in laboratories, or by the life lived under the ethics that permit scientists to do so. I hope these particular scientists somehow found rats with existing critical injuries and birth defects due to fantastic coincidence!
Get literate and highly community active, and double check all your mental health professionals. You may still have time to contain or reverse the most severe symptoms.
Don't confuse schizophrenia vs. manic depression with paranoid delusions or other personality disorders. As I understand it, the distinction is that schizophrenics hallucinate (have false senses in realtime, as if something is really seen or heard) whereas that type of manic depressives do not (they may confabulate memories of having seen or heard something).
This article discusses a new browser-based spreadsheet application in testing, just announced today on the OSCom mailing list. It also discusses browser-based open source applicaton alternatives in general.
The grandparent says that you never wait on source installations. Do yours compile in an instant? Yeah, I know what he meant.
And the parent says that you waste clock cycles by sleeping, but what you didn't waste are filesystem space, attention span, and on a more globally conscious level, electricity.
I don't mean to be a jerk, but I thought I'd post that since others are having fun with lame jokes about waiting on a compiler, and this one also is funny and true! Read the Gentoo Zealot Translator!
I lost my bookmark to the bug report on bugs.gentoo.org requesting that the GAIM port for gentoo include a default irc username including "gentoo" in its string, so that people could automatically ban gentoo lusers from polluting their channels with whining about how their source based pseudo-distro broke all their stuff.:)
I sincerely wish that all the record companies would open up their whole catalogs at high compression/low quality so that I can check out new music or download a song I haven't heard in five years.
My pipe dream is to have a Sun workstation with an x86 card and a mythical PowerPC card... several versions of Solaris, several versions of Linux, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Mac OS X all in one box! Those dual-boot fanboys would drop to their knees and beg for mercy from such a beast!
You could do the equivalent with any Power Macintosh running Linux!:)
Your message lacks evocation and aesthetics. It resembles the sophomoric flow of a less talented slashdot participant. It thus should be delegated to those honed in the fine arts of non-positive moderation scoring techniques.
It's a bit of a tangent, but I think that far more importantly than what you have, is how you use it.
I think that my most important gifts are faith, honesty and transparency, and not ever giving up. I can quit or walk away from an attempt, but I don't give up on the principle. The intelligence backs those things up in terms of analyzing the structure, patterns, and deep relationships. Of broadening and supporting the interconnecting and overlaying latticeworks. Of eventually finding the big-picture paybacks of faith, reinvesting in it.
I use my intelligence at increasingly abstract levels, not always to solve things but to improve my methodologies and to find problem-solving resources. That's really really hard and can be truly lonely, but see Exhibit A, "not ever giving up". Start at age 3 or 4! Also see the practice of neurolinguistic programming, aka NLP, aka "the study of the structure of human experience". Become the change you want to see. It gets way easier from there, and it'll eventually pay off!;)
Someday. Maybe it already has, just not the way I expected.
The side effect of this principled and deliberate self architecture/rearchitecture is to live in a state of wonder and potentially of joy. To know that no matter what you think you know, the unknown is still a wonderfully deafening roar like the peak of a waterfall. To know, even on principle, that you're not alone. To have respect for self and for all life. To know that if you can imagine a question, someone else, somewhere, sometime, has found an answer.
"The X Window System" is a pretty safe name. Now if there was such a thing as "X Windows" or something like that, then there might be trouble in this insanely broken trademark system.:/
Check out this script for automated management of the cvs source of all Wine versions and branches, including WineX. I'm just trying it out now for the first time.
I do feel somewhat bad replying to a commercial announcement, with a freeloader announcement;-> But there are a lot of unemployed hackers out there, and a lot of people who'd test it out and give WineX a louder voice. Do support free, commercial software if you have the means.
Go get Cerberus. It's the burnin and diagnostic suite for Linux (even if you don't intend to keep Linux). It's been a de facto for VA Linux and for the Linux kernel developers. Just install a complete development environment, including a compilable kernel in/usr/src/linux (make a symlink to linux-2.4), type './newburn', and walk away for about a week ideally. At least 8 hours. The longer the better.
How do they expect anything different than this...
(barring unexpected surprises, that did occur with beta 3)
...when they're constantly pulling juvenile crap like this...
rewritten exceptions support, improved interfaces support, new experimental SOAP support, as well as lots of other improvements, some of which are documented in the ChangeLog.
?
I would expect that serious PHP application engineers would be leaving tons of features unused rather than risk needlessly rewriting tons of code. Who, anywhere, at any price, could possibly afford to develop major cutting edge PHP apps? How much work is it? And why would they use PHP rather than any enterprise worthy language? I could understand this behavior in the early days, around 1.0. I'd honestly like to know. See the rest of the replies to this parent.
And another of the five mentions how dependant Unixware is at catching up to free software licensed under the GPL, for which Linux and BSD are the development reference platforms.
"The 'Legend' edition of SCO UNIX(R), which is targeted at SMB customers, will be refitted with SCOx Web services support, an XML parser and SOAP toolkit, an OpenLDAP directory, better multithreading, open-source tools Tomcat, PHP and Mozilla, enhanced J2EE support and enhanced security with support for IPsec, VPN and PAN capabilities."
If SCO is gonna sue us and attack the moral and legal fiber of the GPL, I'd like to see them voluntarily remove all related code from their products and see whether the thing is even in saleable condition afterward. I'm not calling for retaliation by the community because some honest people may have inherited SCO systems to maintain, but I have no problem with those who choose to no longer actively maintain the many Unixware compatibility patches that exist in most core free software to work around their horribly buggy OS.
To paraphrase Phil Hartman on SNL, "What was he thinking?" What does his current hindsight tell him was the reason for these mistakes? Some flaw in thought process, life priorities, self image, or a devil whispering in his ear? Sounds like a persistant pattern.
How did he get enough material success at the ground level such that he could consider a $20,000+ bid to be a small initial project, and that he can bounce off of spontaneous cash losses in the tens of thousands of dollars? Rich family as angel investors, amazing social networking, fantabulous marketing? In Illinois?! I'm from Kansas;)
Just curious. I have a lot of respect for anyone who can run a morally nondestructive business of any scope. The skills needed, and the odds defied, are akin to a space vehicle escaping the gravity of Earth and returning safely.
I'd like to know if either the EyeTV or USB 1.1 WinTV work on Linux on PowerPC. I've been scouring the earth via google and can only find more questions. Are the WinTV drivers endian safe?
It took a while for Mozilla to function because Netscape had to first sanitize it of code encumbered by third party copyrights. When it was first released, it wouldn't even compile.
TrollAssasin would be nice, imagine seeing posts subjects as *****TROLL***** heh
I know you're just joking, but to be serious for a minute, the reason not to do that is because you'd be transparently altering someone else's copyrighted property. Overzealous and/or overworked sysadmins misconfigure SA to globally analyze all incoming content and then to alter email subjects based on its opinion. This is an invasion of content, certainly prone to false positives because antispam scanning is an individually trained process, and breaks the trail of reply threads at least on a visual basis. There are always going to be tons of misconfigured or RFC ignorant smtp servers out there, and being compatible with them is what makes the Internet work. That would include corporate servers, legitimate opt-in bulk mail, and opt-in mailing lists run by Some Dude. There will be people on a mailing list whose personal content is always publicly marked by certain recipients as spam! It's confusing, insulting, and unnecessary. SMTP has invisible meta-tags in its headers to allow for that, and agents are supposed to respect them.
This is fine for using SA's global config as your personal config for your own little systems, but not for an ISP or business.
According to spamassassin.org:
We strongly urge ISPs installing the product to notify their users when it's installed, and to not enable it by default -- but many seem to ignore this advice. We agree, that's totally unprofessional.:(
Oh my. I just read the stories you linked to. Thanks for the info. Just before posting that, I had done a google search on it and I read http://appgen.com and it looked fine! The site's working and everything.
Oh well! We'll see what happens with the code escrow. Could be a huge advantage if it works out, or if some VARs buy it because they'll most likely want to open the source. Thanks!
