The Korean Constitutional Court struck down the Telecommunications Business Act provision for being too vague, warning about the risk of censorship associated with the ICEC regime.
However, unabashed, the South Korean government has merely replaced ICEC with another administrative body whose job it is to apply new, vague legal standards to the Internet. Made up of nine members appointed by the president, the Korean Communications Standards Commission (KCSC) was created to regulate Internet content.

Professor K.S. Park is a member of KCSC, one of three members suggested by the opposition party. Prof. Park is a scholar with a long history of defending online freedom of expression, and he organized the constitutional challenge against the rule abolishing online anonymity...

In July, Prof. Park decided to begin exploring the nuances of these censorship choices in his blog. Believing that a censorship regime is terrible but a secret censorship regime is even worse, he used his blog to educate people about the types of content that were being removed from the Internet in South Korea. He would publish a sample of the type of content that had been removed and include a legal discussion of the removal choice. For example, Prof. Park posted non-sexual pictures of human male anatomy, such as those found in sex education books, along with the argument that such images are not obscene and that even by the conservative Korean standards it's enough to just place age-restrictions on access. Six of his fellow commissioners rejected the argument.
As a result, in August, Prof. Park found his own blog on the roster of sites to be considered by the KCSC board.
Hello bank? I'd like to pay my loan with quality of service and stable patrons. What, you only accept money?!
Almost everyone will tell you a successful business is one that makes money.
In my mind, there's a difference between "making money" and "making lots of money" - many times the later is detrimental to the quality of service.
Granted, we are discussing now on hypothetics: you assume that without the extra money that indian restaurant will die, I assume that it was greed involved. Without the specifics, neither of us can argument in this particular case.
1) you are a regular at a restauraunt - which presumably means you care about its continued sucess
Check your assumptions. You are right only if you define success as "more business, more money".
Because if you define success as "quality of service and good/stable patrons", all your argumentation above fails.
I'm reading a book on my Kindle that has notes at the end of each chapter. By the time I get to them I want to look back and reread the passage they refer to - easy in a real book, but very laborious in an e-book.... Along with its indifference to book design of course...
You reckon? I always hated the end-notes in a book, even a real one.
I can understand that layout-ing a book for press-printing is much cheaper if relying on end-notes instead of footnotes, but with now the ubiquitous use of the computer in "desktop publishing" this should not be an excuse (at most, I can accept the idea of relying on endnotes if the notes themselves have a large extent).
But end-notes in an ebook without back-referencing? Good God, the publisher of such books must be to lowest type $crooges, with the only motivation of staying in business being to punish everyone that need or love to read a(n e) book. My point: don't blame the eBook reader, but the publisher of such monstrous mutilation of the ebook.
That's a negative, Red Leader. While you get more adipocytes when you gain weight, you keep them after you lose it. Get back on the treadmill!
Mod parent +Informative, because......shit, I start pulling my hair over this!!!
The horror: after you gained them, you need to stay on thread mill for years to get them back to the previous level (increase them exponentially, lose the linearly).
If excess weight is gained as an adult, fat cells increase in size about fourfold before dividing and increasing the absolute number of fat cells present.
...
Approximately 10% of fat cells are renewed annually at all adult ages and levels of body mass index.
I can see screen update speed being an issue when you're looking through the pages of a manual as opposed to casually reading a book.
Looks like a value of 6fps - at an even lower speed, I don't thing thing browsing a book would create problems (comparison terms: the old silent movies were shot at anywhere from 12 to 26 fps, the standard is now at 24 fps).
That excess heat has to go somewhere. Otherwise you'll see very HOT cows moving towards you at 40 mph.
Hotty cow!
Can't they at least make a tank masquerading many cows in the same time and mimic a 40 mph stampede? Not that it would help, a RPG is bound to make a good defense against both scenarios (with the added benefit of a quite fresh and tender stake if it turns out to be an actual stampede).
With these electrical motors, who needs oil? Put more electrical motors all over the place, attach some solar cells and wind tunnels, get moving, fix the economy.
Don't forget the scanning tunnelling microscope to be used in driving each of the motors. Oh boy, building them will certainly fix the economy... even if it will only be the China's economy to be fixed.
Submarines are floating islands. Their primary expense is the ability to dive deeper than ~100 ft. Think more creatively.
Do you know many Pacific island nations maintaining even a single submarine? Or even some civilian ships the size of a battleships? Please do share.
Here's an example of one that doesn't: Tuvalu - and seems they need a solution to a problem they didn't create.
Back to you AC: feel free to think as creative as you like if you can offer them a solution that they can afford.
That's what I wanted to emphasize. Somehow, I don't think the pacific islanders have the money to build an artificial archipelago for themselves (I can bet the cost of it will be much less than the maintenance of a "floating village" for 5-10 years).
If the land belonging to these nations goes underwater for any length of time... who cares if their houses are intact? With no land, they've likely lost any ability to sustain themselves individually or as a culture.
Or are these floating houses edible and self-repairing?
I suspect that the mental skills required to use things like Visual Studio and Eclipse are much different from the skills needed to think through and communicate thoughtful programming.
Not in my experience - auto-completion does help enormously, especially if one
– names the variables in a meaningful way
– drops the awful style prefixing your variables with m_ and the use the hungarian notation. I mean, what's wrong with this->name or this.name - quickly "picked" by autocompletion - instead of m_wszName/m_strName?
I wonder how the above stays in the way of "thoughtful programming"?
BTW: I googled "thoughtful programming" and found it mostly associated with Forth (is it because of Leo Brodie's Thinking Forth?), with some "tangents" coming from Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in..." series. Not every helpful... therefore: would you mind please to share your definition of "thoughtful programming"?
I don't quite get it even with the inscription. Is it a directional explosive?
M18A1 Claymore directional antipersonnel mine, remote detonated, used mainly in ambushes, fires steel balls out to about 100 meters within a 60 arc in front of the device.
So, you don't deny the right of the "innocent" people to have their identity protected, you just deny Assange's right to complain that actions of The Guardian allegedly breached the rights to anonymity for these people?
Yes. Its called hypocrisy. He wants to be treated differently than he wants to treat everyone else, and this is just another one of those things that shows it, yet a bunch of angsty teenagers like yourself keep thinking he's just gods gift to the planet because you're too ignorant to realize he's using you.
No, you call it hypocrisy (and I'm not contesting your right to an opinion, I have mine).
And... I really doubt your analytic capacity, perhaps your age diminishes it. You see, a 6-digit/. id tells something of the poster age (joined/. quite a while ago, it's sure not a teenager), however a more recent Id (e.g. 7 digit) doesn't (FYI: I'm old enough to have punched FORTRAN programs on cards and my favorite piece of music is still "Live at Pompeii". Only recently decided I have now enough time to waste on/.).
Slashdot Mirror
Seems like it was.
Well, about 1 year ago??? Demonstrated at Mobicon 2010?
AMD is a very open company
Given the 1.7 mils of key that leaked, I tend to agree with you. Except that "AMD is a very cracked company" describes better the situation.

Not too fussed about colour but would be nice to be able to flick through an ebook as you would a paper one
LOL. Just from curiosity, since I'm seeing you a tad worried, what is your rate "page-flicks per seconds"?
Treat every cow you see through your infrared security system as a tank. If you're right, you're saved, if you're wrong... hamburgers?
Tender stake
Tanks produce a LOT of heat.
That excess heat has to go somewhere. Otherwise you'll see very HOT cows moving towards you at 40 mph.
Hotty cow!
Can't they at least make a tank masquerading many cows in the same time and mimic a 40 mph stampede?
Not that it would help, a RPG is bound to make a good defense against both scenarios (with the added benefit of a quite fresh and tender stake if it turns out to be an actual stampede).

Don't forget the scanning tunnelling microscope to be used in driving each of the motors. Oh boy, building them will certainly fix the economy... even if it will only be the China's economy to be fixed.
I'm thinking plasma pumps...
Nano my ass. The fucking abstract:
Electrons from a scanning tunnelling microscope are used to drive the directional motion of the molecule in a two-terminal setup.
When your motor "power delivery" mechanism looks this big, your motor it's hardly a nano-device anymore.

he tech is there, it's just expensive.
That's what I wanted to emphasize. Somehow, I don't think the pacific islanders have the money to build an artificial archipelago for themselves (I can bet the cost of it will be much less than the maintenance of a "floating village" for 5-10 years).
And doesn't Floating city sound terribly prone to be destroyed by hurricane?
If it truly floats, redesigned rather.
If the land belonging to these nations goes underwater for any length of time... who cares if their houses are intact? With no land, they've likely lost any ability to sustain themselves individually or as a culture.
Or are these floating houses edible and self-repairing?
Potable would be the first problem.
Such housing technology could also allow small island-states in the Indian and Pacific Oceans
What's next? "Floating rainwater basins", "floating desalination plants" or "regular shipment of bottled water"? "Floating coconut farms" maybe?
I suspect that the mental skills required to use things like Visual Studio and Eclipse are much different from the skills needed to think through and communicate thoughtful programming.

Wikileaks: Here's a password to use, it's temporary.
Somebody explains better the situation.
WL made mistakes in the part. I find hypocritical that its attempts to not make them anymore are considered hypocrisy.
So, you don't deny the right of the "innocent" people to have their identity protected, you just deny Assange's right to complain that actions of The Guardian allegedly breached the rights to anonymity for these people?
Yes. Its called hypocrisy. He wants to be treated differently than he wants to treat everyone else, and this is just another one of those things that shows it, yet a bunch of angsty teenagers like yourself keep thinking he's just gods gift to the planet because you're too ignorant to realize he's using you.

Only recently decided I have now enough time to waste on /.).
This only confirms what kind of hypocrits the wikileaks guys are.. Leaking other people's secrets is ok, but if you leak theirs....
Using a firearm to defend others is ok, but it makes you a hypocrite if you protest others using a firearm to commit murder.
