I have never looked at the documentation, but the interface is intuitive and easy to use. I've got a few gripes though, such as the default theme being fixed-width, but I have never found anything better.
From TFA: "If native SVG support is already present in the browser... you can override this and have the SVG Web toolkit handle things instead."
I realize that reading the article (project page) is a lot to ask for Slashdot readers. I don't usually read them; this time was an exception because I was actually interested. But really, you should read the article before telling others to RTFA.
I am part of the 95% of users with Flash, but I don't like it. I use Firefox, so I shouldn't have to enable Flash to view SVG documents, but the same could be said for watching videos and navigating a website.
My concern is that many websites that use SVG will require Flash on all browsers, not just the ones using IE.
The first razor I ever liked was the original Mach 3, and I haven't switched yet. I might try out the 5 blade version sometime soon. Twin bladed razors suck ass in comparison. I don't think people are really criticizing Gillette per se, they just like to make fun of things, and extrapolate from short patterns in ridiculous ways.
I just realized that there is not much of a space for unique SSN's. 9 digits gives a maximum of 1 billion numbers. However, not every number is actually used.
That is correct.
I assume that there must at least be a control number to check if SSN can be valid, similar to how credit cards / ISBN work.
No. SSNs do not have any sort of check digit. If they did, then there would be a maximum of 100 Million numbers given, and they already would have ran out.
There could also be regional prefixes, similar to IP addresses (e.g. 111 = New York, 999 = California or something like that). etc. This would significantly reduce the number space.
The prefix identifies the state that the person lived in when they applied for a SSN. However, this doesn't really reduce the available numbers, because the state just uses them all up and then gets more prefixes from SSA.
Even if that's not the case, the population of US is ~ 300 million. There must have been more than 1 billion people who have lived/still living since the SSNs were first introduced. My question is, how did US not run out of unique numbers?
So far, approximately 360 Million SSNs have been assigned. They will run out eventually, and we will have to a new system, but not for a little while.
So I write a program licensed under the GPL, then someone else comes along and forks it, and makes it MIT/GPL. It is still mostly my work. Then Big Corporation comes along and takes the MIT licensed library, and creates a closed sourced, proprietary application from it.
I don't know if you are wrong or not, but I hope you are. That would be a serious loophole if it were true.
RMS and Linus disagree on a lot of things. That does not mean that they disagree on everything. Specifically, they both agree on what I said above.
You should do some actual research before spoiting your "I know something therefore I know everything." Linus often says that Linux drivers must be GPL. RMS (and the FSF FAQ) says that only GPL applications are allowed to link against GPL libraries.
Not only is the GPL not specific on this issue, but it is unclear whether a clear license restriction on linking would even apply. Imagine if RMS and Linus had their way, and the author of an application could not only restrict distribution, but linking as well. Microsoft could legally prevent people from writing apps and drivers for their OS. Homebrew for restricted systems would actually be illegal. Would it be legal to write compatible libraries?
The great thing about shared libraries is, you don't have to distribute them, and therefore are not bound (AIUT) by their distribution licenses.
It is pretty much exactly the same. Except for a utility company, you actually do sign the contract. "We" pretend to agree to the terms, and "they" pretend that the terms are enforceable. It is sort of a dance in civilized societies. It has little to no actual legal bearing.
The thing is, spokes and cotton can't be used for everything. XML can store any type of data at all. Storing $x in XML is not creative or innovative, it is exactly what XML was designed to do.
Haha. Did you even read the post you replied to? Did you not understand the "rain on your wedding day" reference? In retaliation to GP post, you just repeated what GP said.
so this means after python patches this flaw i got to re-roll every app that depends on python either just to build or at runtime too?
No. It sounds like Firefox uses python build scripts. There is no risk from using an exploitable Python with "trusted" input, such as the Firefox build scripts. Additionally, this flaw will not "carry-over" from the build scripts to the Firefox code. As long as your Firefox got built, it didn't really matter which version of Python you used.
The only way that this flaw could possibly have any bearing on the Firefox build scripts if Mozilla tried to exploit your computer using this flaw in their build scripts, and that wouldn't make any sense.
Many people have problems with sound in Linux. The situation is certainly less than ideal. However, on most computers, sound in Linux works flawlessly. If you have problem with sound in Linux, you are part of the exception, rather than the rule.
Even better: crowd sourcing. I would love to "help". Of course, they would need to require an e-mail address to register. Wouldn't want any jokers mowing down a stream of pedestrians and then stopping the car in a Dairy Queen.
Wells Fargo sueing itself (for default loans) is required to properly acquire payment. It is not like they are going to contest it and sit in court aruging with each other.
Wells Fargo has already contested their own lawsuit. From the summary: "Defendant admits that it is the owner and holder of a mortgage encumbering the subject real property. All other allegations of the complaint are denied."
There is no reason that a parent company and a bought company have be in related fields. However, it is common that they are. For example, eBay's auction and payment companies. Microsoft's OS and game consoles. Nintendo's game consoles and toys.
The primary reason is that the parent companies assets, including human, are more aligned to fill the needs of the smaller company. eBay and Paypal was a perfect merge for Paypal, and now they effectively get twice the money per auction after forcing their eBay users to offer Paypal. When Microsoft started making Xboxes, they already had most of the operating system, which is a non-negligible part of a console, and more MS employees would be able to take apart and build a computer than say, the employees of a bank. Nintendo has a name which helps them sell toys.
Sometimes, the smaller company can fill a need of a larger company. Perhaps an airline company will buy a computer retailer right before a major IT upgrade, and they will effectively have a discount.
eBay and Skype fulfill none of the examples above and was truly a bizarre move.
IE6 was fixed and no press release was made (we are discreet) domains and URLs have been changed to protect the guilty
Exactly how does hiding the domains and URLs protect the guilty? We all know who makes IE6. And how can you call yourself discreet while posting the story on Slashdot and naming the guilty party?
It actually illustrates the point of the summary perfectly. If you are going to trust somebody, you need to get their name right. Otherwise you could end up trusting somebody whose name is similar, but who is not trustworthy at all. Bruce Schneider might be a dick.
This is a dumb idea, and I do not believe that any legitimate therapists would come up with it. In order for a person to get help, they must take the first step. Contrary to what we often see in movies, a person who is not willing to take the first step to help themselves will not solve their problems. If an addict will not leave their addiction to seek help, then they are not seriously looking for help, and nothing can be done for them until they recognize their problem and take the first step.

Do SSNs get reused?
No.
Perhaps you should pay attention. Your dribble has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.
The kernel's license has an exception clause that allows linking with modules that are incompatible with the GPLv2.

Proper writing is a dying art, as your post, and spun's post, demonstrate. Attentive reading would be more practical without drivel like yours.
