Today I found this snippet of code:
bool func()
{
if (true)
return true;
else
return false;
}
(Well, the function once was useful and instead of completely erasing it, it was changed to this)
No it is no anagram. Because Evan did die 'sinning'.
But it doesn't seem to be an extra clue, other than to keep the focus on the 'sinning'-aspect of his death.
(BTW: Why is the ship on the poster behind enrico named just like the bot?)
There is one really big flaw in microsofts logic when comparing the GPL to their 'shared source' model:
They are telling us that if you incorporate source under the GPL into your products, you have to make them free as well. Which may be bad for your business model. Granted.
But in the next step they are saying: Our 'shared source' is better because it does not have this limitation. They aren't telling you that it doesn't need to have this limitation, because you can not use their source at all!
So basically they are trying to tell us that "If you use my free source, your source has to be free, too" is worse than "You may not use my source at all".
Burney: Well, it's the open source concept, but one notch better, because the source wouldn't be open... so the companies that write them can keep them and sell them, but from the user's perspective you get the benefit of open source because you can have the content coming from a variety of companies. So I see that model as being a nice bridge between proprietary software on one side and open source on the other.
>Use your heads. A little less paranoia would go a long way.
Wrong. Once the possibilities exist, they will be used. Connect automatic face recognition with the array of surveillance cameras installed in many cities, and you get complete control. Who was where exactly when.
In your funny little example, substitute the quote "BOSS: Is this a picture of you entering Super Bowl XXXV?" with "BOSS: Is this a picture of you entering a gay bar?". Suddenly the "Get the fuck out of my office" seems quite possible.
Sure, even now someone my be hired to photograph you, but with face recognition there is _always_ someone watching you. And one photo is much less impressive than "You have been there 40 times in the last two months".
Currently you have freedom. Freedom to do things your boss may not like, freedom to do things your friends may not like. Automatic face recognition takes another bit of this freedom away.

Are there broadcasts in HDTV or at least plans for HDTV in Europe?
I haven't heard anything about it for some time, and the current digital programs (d-box) are using standard resolution (720 x 576).
Why rely on one centralized commercial archive? I guess most of the users of the usenet have their own small archive of newsgroups and posts they see as valuable. All we need is an open protocol for communication between newsreaders, for passing around searches and results, and enough readers to support this. Searches would be independent of the moods and financial motives of the owners of a single archive and consistency could be assured by the redundandcy of hundreds of people having the same article in their archives.
I guess we will all agree that the value of ebay (and most of the other 'e-startups') is mostly theoretical. It is interesting that they are now beginning to transfer their imaginary value (based on the possibility that they might be very profitable in the future) into real value (based on current profits and property).

class HireDate : Date
{...};
class BirthDate : Date
{...};
p = Person::find(HireDate("June 26, 1975"));
What was your point again?
suddenly, it seems depressing to live in europe...

Ouch!

Video Display
As I understand it, it can either display on a dedicated monitor or (in standard def) using overlay.
Is there any other planet available? :)
