CRIMES ACT 1914 - SECT 85ZD Wrongful delivery of communications
A person shall not intentionally cause a communication in the course of telecommunications carriage to be received by a person or carriage service other than the person or service to whom it is directed.
Yes, I eat cheese. No idea if its certified Kosher or not, as I don't care much for outdated religious rituals. Never heard of a company called Cabot either - they quite likely don't operate in this part of the world. But, the cheese that I do buy does not contain animal renet, however likely you want to believe that to be.
As for incidentals, such as any animals that happen to be accidentally killed by harvesting machines, or by killed companies that are producing multiple different types of food products - you're clutching at straws in your argument. You might as well bring up species that are being made exinct by changes in global temperature because of greenhouse gasses emitted by the mass transit that is shipping food from the farms to the supermarkets. At least these are things I go to time and expense to try and minimise by purchasing locally grown products, that have been farmed using organic methods.
As for it being dangerous to speak in terms of absolutes, that is exactly what the person I was replying to was doing when they said "You can either let yourself starve to death or Babmi will die to feed you."
Replying to an off-topic comment doesn't make your comment any less off-topic.
Talking about constitutional reform with regards to who can run for President in the comments of an ask-slashdot about what is the best VNC server certainly is off-topic.
Deal.
(And yes, I know my reply to you is also off-topic. The difference is that I wont be bitching about it if I get moderated as such)
Funnily enough, some of the tools in the source package for FlexWiki are GPL licensed, and being distributed by Microsoft (presumably under the GPL license)
The point of making it 128bits? Well, it makes the pointers fit in nice word boundaries. No fiddling about trying to work out which 85 bits matter out of those 2 * 64bit words you're dealing with.
I can imagine doing anything else would be a fair hit on performance.
First thing you should do is stop calling it a "dotcom business". Many VCs got burnt by them 5 years ago, and now have an irrational phobia about the term.
(x being a constant based on the amount of power being emitted, and r being the radius distance you are from the source)
Well, say you measure the amount of RF/EM radiation coming from the cell phone mast at a distance of 1 metre. At 10 metres, you'd only have 1% of that. At 50 metres distance, you've only got 0.04%. At 100m you've dropped to 1/10000th (.01%) and at 150m its down to 1/22500th (0.004%)
As for how close you have to be before you start worrying? Well, thats up for debate and would depend on the amount of power output at the mast.
But most people would realise that 1/22500th of the power at 150metres isn't going to cause any problems to people.
Unless of course you notice people walking past the tower start glowing an odd bluish-green colour
Interesting - what is it about the power lines that makes them behave differently?
(trying recall something about that from his undergrad physic clases, but realising they were too long ago, and i've sufficiently pickled my brain too many times since then)
Inverse square law means the electromagnetic fields given off by both of those will have dropped right down to negligible amounts over the 100-150meters. You really shouldn't worry about it.
The problem with the measurement of success being based on merit, is that many geeks work away in a back room doing jobs that nobody else understands. The merit doesn't project because nobody undetstands it.
People outside the geek world understand ties. They don't understand the subtleties of RFC3056.

what we Brits call Vauxhall cars the rest of the world call 'Opal'.
Not all of it. "Holden" is the brand name a lot of Vauxhall models go under in Australia.

Yup there's been quite a cross-over with cyber into the goth scene in the UK (especially in London) mostly injected via the more bleepy EBM music.
:-) The trad-goths downstairs hate em.
Quite a large percentage of clubbers in the top floor of Slimelight do indeed bosh to 'ard 'ouse
I take it you've not come across Cybergoth before?

One way or another either you or the other animal will die. You can either let yourself starve to death or Babmi will die to feed you.
There's quite a large number of us who manage to live quite happily in today's modern society without any animals having to die in order to feed us.
Broadcasting something that 70-80% of the public at large finds patently offensive does not serve the public interest
And banning something that 20-30% of the public doesn't have a problem with does?
You had to do a polygraph to get a job at a 7-11 ??!?
I knew the job market was a bit on the slow side these days.. but sheesh!

Irony delimiter?
Now why didn't I think of looking in /proc on my Windows machine? Oh yeah.. that's right.. its because IT DOESN'T EXIST.
Now, if I was doing on my Linux machine, that would work fine. But that wasn't what the guy's question was now, was it?

And I war-sailed The Broadwater and Nerang River at the Gold Coast, Australia in November 2002.
And I'm sure I wasn't the first to come up with the idea either.

Err.. why not just point to the bit that says "Sterling" on it?
Been and done. Flashmobs went out of style last summer.
Its based on the inverse square law: x/(r^2)

More expensive sunglases tend to have things like polarising lenses which cause problems when viewing LCD screens.
