That sounds like an Observer pattern appropriately implemented on the web service that's exposing your database to me, but maybe that's a little optimistic:-)
I think you may have missed the point. Being a UK citizen, I have an expectation, founded in the law of the country, that by *opening an email in an email client*, I am not consenting that the sender of that email may collect data on my reading habits, or whatever other mining they wish to do. Similarly, when I visit a website, I am not necessarily consenting that the owners of that website are entitled to make my computer act in a way that I am not expecting (such as collect personal data).
Blocking adverts is one way I have available to me to ensure that *my* experience on the internet is aligned with my expectations. I'm not telling anyone else what to do, I'm enforcing what they can't make me do.
A lot of people seem to be missing the point with this idea. The point is not necessarily to present *relevant* information, although that helps. The point is to present information which the user wouldn't have found otherwise, such that they will be interested in it. Big difference.
BTW - Why is Ajax the next 'DHTML' hype... i mean, it's nothing new, just another way to look @ JS
Because suddenly it's got trivial to get cross-browser support for it, and the nice libraries that let you easily do actually useful things with it have arrived. Like Prototype, for example. Sometimes hype is justified.
Tell this to my boss, who thinks that sticking with a hosting provider that's rigidly nailed to 4.0.17 is a good thing. Application-level views? Mmm, tasty.
No it doesn't. Read it again. It's using *near* infrared (that's not heat - it's just not quite visible light) because the skin is more transparent, while the blood vessels aren't at that frequency.
Besides which, can you *seriously* not imagine being able to project a heat pattern?
Uh, mods? Insightful? Everyone *is* hewing the party line! Well, in Japan, anyway. The whole point of this standard is that it's scalable enough that the component cost can be controlled, and the interoperability gains you get are worth it - as is not having to retrain/retool for a new embedded platform when your design criteria change.
So it's an embedded computing platform? Nope, it's a standard for implementing a family of embedded computing platforms.
This is better because it gives you a highly configurable operating system, with all that that implies, on top of your READILY AVAILABLE ARM core. Or an i486. Or any of a small bucketload of other SOC configurations. Anywhere from 8-bit to 32-bit. You get scheduling. You get (soon, I think - can't remember if it's actually in yet) a TCP/IP stack. You get memory management. And more. You also get interoperability and a choice of suppliers. All of this is readily discoverable from the links in TFA, but I guess you knew that and were just testing.
Innocent until proven guilty works both ways. Yes, we should be vigilant, but knee-jerk criticism is worse than useless. It is perfectly feasible (in fact, rather likey) that the police believe they would be able to extract more information from the server than its own admins would, so the fact that the IM admin was apparently co-operating is almost moot. In his place, I would not want to hand over the server and lose the availability, but that is exactly what the police would need in order to do their analysis.
These started as entirely volunteer groups, and most today (in the US) are still volunteer groups, although tax supported (but not entirely funded) volunteer groups. Don't think so. The Romans certainly had organized bucket brigades, but London got its first coordinated fire response when a load of insurance companies (note, that's *private* insurance companies) started selling fire insurance after the Great Fire in 1666. They would refuse to stop a fire in burning property that they hadn't insured, and that was marked as such with a visible plaque. If you happened to be a competitor insurance company and wanted to move into an area, it would be a night's work with a torch to bankrupt your competitors.
It does make more sense to keep certain services public, either because they are vital to the future of the country (a la education), or because the general public stands to get utterly screwed over by private investors (a la health care, fire services, etc)
Ooh... You learn something new every day. I was distracted by all the pretty pictures and didn't notice he hadn't actually worked on the LMT's mentioned.
Yep... Temporarily knock out a certain class of neuron, supercharge the neurotransmitter production in a certain brain volume, or selectively block neuroreceptors... All sounds feasible. Count me in, I'm pretty demotivated right now...
Something tells me he was thinking on a slightly lower level than the damn windowing system when he made his comments here. There are a lot of things that are just plain *wrong* about Linux's architecture (I'm not thinking micro/macrokernel here, there's a boatload of subtle and not-so-subtle stuff) that just aren't being addressed, which make me stop and think "It's like this? After how long? Which millenium are we in, again?" I'm not sure I care enough to come up with a list right now, but it can be damn frustrating. I know, I know, "fix it yourself!"... When I get paid to, I will. Until then, I will vent my frustration on posters that don't seem to have the first clue as to where the architectural differences between Linux and BSD actually *matter*, and yet feel qualified to comment.
It's not even as if he'd have to run Linux to be able to comment on parts of it, either... He's an OS guy, he can quite happily judge others' architectural decisions. This whole thread is moot.
You're right, graffiti isn't art. It's just a medium. A medium through which some quite astonishing art has been expressed. Nmap is just a network analysis tool, and bittorrent is just an efficient file-streamer. Don't blame the tool.
Eye-spam is just as bad as other spam. So we should outlaw email?

Your prayers have (almost) been answered - Google for Mousehole. It's Greasemonkey, but ruby...

Yeah, but it's not when you've got the sun just over your left shoulder. EInk allows for a far, far wider range of lighting conditions than LCDs.

In fairness, rechargable batteries don't last forever...

It takes less time to learn the new way, then do it the new way, than to just do it the old way. I know, I've just done both...
More than that. As far as I can make out, this guy *was* the proper channel.
"Working with" might just mean that ISS told Cisco, and they said "Yeah... We're working on it. We'll get back to you on that."

Oh, for mod points! The pain! My sides!
First port of call: http://www.bytemark.co.uk./ Great service, groovy boxes. I've never had any complaints.

Wrong, wrong and wrong. Just plain... no. Research The Fabled Article.

Ick. Misread as Apple Developer Coercion account.
Is it just me, or is there something of the night about Apple these days?
Erm... That'll be spun-liquid-metal as a means of making huge mirrors, then. Not glass. Unless you know something those articles don't...
