And lo, the lord decreed that 22 is now in between 50 and 60. And all those whose salary is $22K rejoiced. And all those who are 22 years old suddenly went all baggy in all the wrong places and there was much wailing and gnashing of false teeth.
the sun is pulling, the Earth and moon and other objects are constantly pulling," said Martin Lo of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

From the account... Or might it have been because I was dating Philip Greenspun
so the fact that Greenspun and she have similar recollections is hardly surprising.
I didn't say she was lying... you can easily have 2 accounts of the same event that read very differently depending on which details are left out and which are emphasised... just that this is unlikely to be the authoritive account.

Imagine trying to connect to a crisis assistance site after a devastating earthquake, only to find its(sic) among a vast IP group being blocked by RBL. People can die as the result of their blind imprecision. They MUST be regulated

For example he points out that AbiWord does not produce lots of worrying error messages from the shell.
And that there is a lot of evidence that error handling is not being implemented properly.
Or that warning messages are generated when inappropriate -
RemoteMailFolder::sync() : Nothing to sync!
If nothing to sync is bad, then tell the user their mail is bad, or their config is wrong.
If nothing to sync is harmless (because there's no new mail for example) then why bother printing the message and confusing/scaring the people that do see it.
So you need a central database of what file types correspond to what applications.
You are also dependent on the applications registering the types with the same name. If Paint calls files which start with jfif "JPeg images" and Draw calls them "JPeg pictures" then you're adding confusion. At least with using the extension there are conventions already in place.
Examining the header just makes things worse in the context of the article.
If you have two programs installed that can display jpeg files, there still has to be some way for the shell to decide which application to use.
At least with registered extensions there is some sort of database of format to application.
How would you do the same with headers?
This file starts with "JFIF" what application would you like to use "paintshop", "real player" or "notepad"

I just popped of the "PrtScn" keycaps from all my keyboards and burnt them. I don't want Microsoft's lawyers after me for DMCA violations.
Call it "physics, botany, and computer programming" and then everyone will understand what the hell you're on about.

Reverse-slingshot?
Some energy could have been transferred from the object to the Earth if it approached in the right way.
Did you lie when answering this question?
O Yes
O No
O Cowboy Neal told me the answer
US companies make all sorts of things that other countries buy.
One could mention bombs, but that's probably a bit emotional for someone upset by a software company selling software.
I think it would be better if they showed adds all the time on the bottom of the screen.
Then I could just mask it off!

when the entire point of prison is to punish criminals
Says who?
It's obviously different around the world, but read the introduction to the US federal prison website for example. The word "punish" isn't used.
So Microsoft's message
"we have detected that the browser that you are using will not render MSN.com correctly"
is correct. What's the problem?
Apple's iPod isn't a "educational tool to help professionals understand the exciting world of equity indexed products."
NFC Consulting's iPod isn't an MP3 player.
Therefore there;s little chance of confusion in the market place.
There isn't a lot of information in the New Scientist article.
There should be more info in the patent
You can cut and paste the characters from a innocent copy of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'.
Exactly!

perhaps a better list of applications would be 'paintshop', 'internet explorer' or 'that kodak photoeditor thing', since they can all display jpegs.

What happens if I don't have the application that created the file?
For example, Bob sends me a plain text file he created with WonderText
My preferred text editor is WhizzyText and I don't have WonderText installed.
Am I unable to open the file, or is there an equivalent to file extensions where I can associate WonderText files with my WhizzyText editor?
