Actually, I think that case was detected by outsiders who noticed a statistical anomaly when analyzing the performance of the top players on the site in question. It only happened because there was enough publicly available data to spot something suspicious.
The one thing Google Groups does being to the table is the power to search the entire archive (minus binaries). This beats having to download a ton of message bodies to a client.
Maybe he was an old timer who was grandfathered in before the government got serious about screening people in sensitive positions but rest assured the procedures for vetting someone for secret or top secret clearance are pretty invasive and this was the case before HomeSec existed.
She should file a motion to prohibit the RIAA lawyers from engaging in barratry. To try and deprive someone of their due process when they themselves are guilty of using the most underhanded tactics to get their way is scum of the earth level thinking.
The original Game Boy used a bitmap Nintendo logo in the cartridges that was verified by the GB before a game was allowed to execute. This was an effort to use copyright to prevent third party cartridge production as had happened with the NES. This issue went to court and the ruling was that interoperability prevailed and other companies would be allowed to produce unlicensed games. This is the same thing here. If spoofing an Apple product is what is needed for interoperability then so be it. The law sees nothing wrong with that.
The one thing I consistently see wrong with touch interfaces is that they are all implemented as if they were a conventional GUI to be used with a mouse cursor. Unlike a tiny mouse cursor, when you are pressing a non-tactile screen with a finger you can't see or feel what it is your finger is pressing on. The only time I have seen this accounted for is with the touch interfaces for the more recent Tektronix oscilloscopes. The buttons are purposely kept large and their labels are kept at the top edge rather than the center so that you can read the text while you have your finger in the way.
Another peeve for lefty's in particular is right side scrollbars. These suck when you want to scroll with your left hand and end up blocking what it is you're trying to scroll through. It's unfortunate that Palm never got this right (there were hacks to fix it up to OS3) and no other PDA manufacturer has gotten clued into the need for configurable vertical scrollbar positioning.
Let's put it this way. I once implemented a subset of TCL in pure VHDL to implement feature rich scripting for simulation data. That can't be done in Verilog without dropping out to C.
You really shouldn't send out that simple throwie type device to your loved ones. It's not safe and you risk the batteries popping their guts on someone or something with bad results. The fix is to put in an appropriate sized resistor to limit the current so you're not relying on the internal resistance of the battery to control the current to the LED.
With A/V applications there are latency issues to be cognizant of. The big issue is keeping audio and video in sync. The best case scenario would be to stream the audio and video together to one destination. If the audio and video go to two locations then latency becomes an issue. Even then you have to deal with interactive latency issues for things like gaming consoles. With an ethernet based implementation there is nothing to prevent somebody from routing separate data streams through disparate switches and routers with sync lost for certain unless there is lost of buffering (not good for gaming).
It amazes me how much the proles gobble this shit up when *gasp* analog component video is perfectly capable of handling a high bandwith video without all the incremental upgrades to a poorly thought out spec. Remember, a VGA cable (not quite as good as separate coax) is able to carry higher resolution and refresh rates than 1080p/60 and it could be all achieved on an early/mid 90's PC with a high end video card.
The first claim mentions the real time nature of the validation. The example regexes are for validating a completed string. This is still silly and obvious but you may have a harder time finding specific prior art for this case.
I don't believe he had cancer but, rather, scarring of the lungs. The cause is the artificial butter flavoring that interacts unfavorably with lung tissue.
The US-RDA for water is 2 liters of water (8 cups) per day.
That recommendation has no actual basis in medical science. At some point someone tried to track down where the 8 cups thing came from and they ended up at a dead end with no evidence for why it came about. It's just a meme that has been passed on through the medical establishment from sometime in the 20th century. You can get by just as well on 4-5 cups of water a day without impairing your kidney function.
Regardless of the state of the code no breathalyzer truly "works". None of them can directly detect blood alcohol content. All they do is use a proxy to estimate using the reaction products from your breath. These devices are wholly unscientific. There is no possible way they can derive a credible estimate with a precision of 0.001% or even 0.01%. There is no accounting for body size, type, or metabolic rate. Furthermore these devices can be triggered by more than just ethanol. Chocolate is reported to cause a false reading as well as other common foods. This is why one should always refuse a breathalyzer test even if you haven't been drinking. There are too many chances for a false positive to risk it.
This is Greece we're talking about. Google just hasn't bribed the right person yet. This is just part of the procedure to extract money from foreign nationals.
Bigger isn't necessarily better when it comes to RF. At higher frequencies solid objects become more opaque to radio waves and transmission, especially at the low power levels used for WiFi, becomes more difficult.
A good example of this is the mad rush to 2.4 and 5.8 GHz phones. This was all stupid sheeple consumerism that led to the mass adoption of phones that underperform the previous generation. The situation is finally improving with the introduction of DECT phones operating at a more sane 1.8 GHz but, in the states at least, it has to be marketed as "v6.0" to get the dummies to let go of their foolish 5.8 phones. You might say "900 MHz sounded worse" but that's only because the modern phones are all digital spread spectrum and very few 900 MHz phones were made with DSS. Most were plain analog or analog spread spectrum. That doesn't change the fact that the higher frequency phones are not optimal for the intended application and experience more dropouts and artifacts than 900 MHz when there are significant obstructions between the phone and base station.

completely inundated by spam. Jesus.
So was there any dead skull fucking involved?
No. Debian still has the original Iceweasel. GNU Icecat nee GNU Iceweasel is a fork of the Debian fork.
That and the fact that cable penetration (excluding a few select cities) was pretty low in 1981.
Any bets on how Palm will screw over the developer community this time and finally ensure their belated demise?

That was somewhat the case with IE4, 5, and 6 but it was deintegrated from the explorer shell with version 7.
Jimbo just put himself on the top of the list for a good old fashioned dead agenting.

I think the chase scene was a dig at Lucas. It's basically a rip off of Hoth and the underwater creatures from Ep 1.

So what? Don't work in France.
That's what the French do.
When happens with the primes are represented in base-9 or base-11?
