This is python, man. You don't need to heave semicolons at the ends of each line. and you need to indent your code. If you want to make python look like C you do it like this:
if foo: #{
foo1()#;
foo2()#;
foo3()#;
#}
There. Now you have python that looks like C. Of course, when Guido designed python, he realized how worthless the semicolons are and left them out. But you can still have them if you want them.
Yes you are right. Think of all the personal info they could gain with that thing. All they would have to do is drive a little black van within about 200 feet of your house (the range of most wireless LAN cards these days). Then they would have to control the dog over the network so that they can maneuver it into position so it doesnt just take pictures of walls and such. Then they take the picture (of what?) and download it over the LAN.
Yep, that sure is a great way to collect data on customers. Drive to their houses and control dogs and have them take pictures of toilets or wallpaper or people's feet. Every big company would kill to get this kind of great marketing information! And they get it so easily, too!
Licq is a really great program. It has more features than any other ICQ client, the most interesting of which is encryption. As far as I know, it is the only ICQ client that encrypts instant messages sent to other users of the same client. And it has frontends written in both QT and GTK+ so it is great for anyone.
If you are paraniod about people snooping in on your instant messaging, use Licq and get your friends to do it to!
More details would be very nice. Like how exactly we can submit prior art. From everything in the article, it looks like this will solve so very many problems with the patent system, if it passes. Write your congressman!
With a ruling in favor of napster and now this both in the past hour, I am getting the feeling that government does work for its citizens (and not just for corps) sometimes! I am going to bed happy tonight.
In the US anyway, it doesn't matter how poor you are, you can still use the internet. It is not elitest. The government funds public libraries that are open to anyone free of charge and allows them to use the internet and participate in the 'community.'
Listen here, man. I use napster all the time, and I never violate copyright. I use it to trade DCI clips (DCI is Drum Corps International) and other marching band related mp3s. Not everybody on napster downloads britney spears songs. You need to realize there are other types of music than that owned by the RIAA and played on MTV. Oh yeah, and downloading smashing punmpkins mp3s is also legal. Don't assume that since someone uses napster they violate copyright. Geeze.
"The Microsoft Foundation Classes are going to be 90% of your porting headache. Games generally don't use the MFC, so usually most the bulk of that porting work is focused on generating Linux-based graphics and sound drivers to integrate into the codebase. This is why the editors take longer: you have to deal with an almost-certain code rewrite when you encounter MFC code."
So, to answer your question, MFC isn't used for the games. It is used for the editors. But congrats on getting 5th post. Shows you spent time to think before posting. Next time, read the bloody article before you post. Thanks.
In the newest version of the ICQ protocol, if you are in invisible mode, the servers don't inform other parties that you are online. And if you send them someone a message whilst you are invisible, it is sent through the ICQ servers, like an offline message. This way they can't get your IP anyway.
Licq has done RSA encryption when talking to other Licq clients for a while now. Which is one reason why it is WAY better than AOL's ICQ client. Licq has had this long before this new company, since ICQ communication is peer-to-peer (unless you send offline messages).
Does anyone know if this will install to an ATA/100 drive? Because none of the current Linux distros will install to ATA/100, not even slackware with the ata66.i bootdisk.
"A vandal is a vandal whether you are a virtual vandal putting graffiti on a web site or a real world vandal putting graffiti on a wall. Both are illegal."
But these kids are getting 5 years of jail if they are convicted! Surely this state doesn't fine tens of thousands of dollars and give jail time for people who spraypaint on bulidings!
I start school oat OSU in one week, and I emailed them about the napster thing. They said their firewall restricts incomming TCP from the internet so that people don't run servers (such as napster). The reason is to save bandwidth. They have a socks5 you can use if you want to run programs like ICQ, but you aren't allowed to run servers like napsetr or apache through the proxy. But they never said anything about their DNS resolving napster to 0.0.0.0! Do they still do this? Or do they consider the firewall to be enough lawsuit protection for now?
According to thoe TOS at OSU, you can use napster, gnutella, or basically any program as long as you dont run a server. So I am guessing it is ok to leech off of the service. What has your experience been?
Your guidelines aren't so foolproof. Say the attackers cracked the site before they took credit card data. They could just hack the website, then have the web frontend forward the data to their database, instead of trying to crack some write-only database.
A write-only database is no good if the crackers control the web page front-end to the database.
Whoever modetated that as 'flamebait' really must have some serious problems. That was so obviously a joke, the moderator must have absolutely no sense of humor at all. Moderators, if you can't take a joke, stay off the net.
>So, the bottom line is that I don't want the M rating to become the equivalent of an X rating. That is, something that hurts the games sales so much that games are modified by the developer to avoid the rating.
They allready have this. For video games, there is an AO rating. This stands for Adult Only. It is the equivelant of an X rating for movies. So, fear not, friend. M == R, and X == AO. No problem.
Some people don't like Python because it uses indentation instead of {}. Well, for all you people who miss your braces, there is a very simple way to use them in Python! Observe:
Does anyone know if this release has full support for ATA/100? I really want to put linux on my shiny new 800MHz Tbird, however, I really don't want to waste my time downloading over my 28.8 modem only to find no support for my computer.
Seriously, Win2k and Win98 do not support ATA/100 without 3rd party drivers. It would be nice if Linux could get ahead of the game with this.
Having any sort of broadcast device (like a bluetooth enabled mobile phone) does make triangulation possible. But you are forgetting that bluetooth has a range of 10 meters so triangulation is not much of an issure.
I mean if they have to be within 10 meters, they can just watch where you are going with their eyes (whoever 'they' are).
I found an actual use for HTML email!! Before I thought it was worthless and outdated, but for the first time, I am using it. I am sending this guy an email that says "You are a Moron." in font size 36, bold.
Thank you Outlook for your stupid HTML email feature!
This reminds me of a FTP client called DPSFtp. It is a GUI Linux ftp client that is actually pretty cool.
Anyway, the idea behind the program was to make a Linux ftp client that was much like the windows client 'BulletProof FTP.' So when the guy wrote the program, he named it 'Kevlar FTP' (since kevlar is some kinda bulletproof materail. However, DuPont has a trademark on Kevlar, and they contacted the guy that wrote KevlarFTP and threatened to sue him. So what he did was rename his ftp cleint to DuPontSucksFTP! I think that is a great way to deal with such problems!
But you can bed AOL will never join. AOL controlls the biggest names in IM: ICQ and AIM (which is really only so big because it is forced on all AOL users). But ICQ and AIM can't even communicate with eachother!
Also, I really do hope that this new network supports what Licq (the most used Linux ICQ client) has supported for a while: encrypted messages. If one person using Licq sends a message to another, the message is encrypted (if you turn the feature on). This functionality is ESSENTIAL to the growth of IM if it is ever to be used for business use (as their site suggests it will be).

Bah.
The answer to this problem is simple. Use a different ISP! This is a problem in which their policy will surely cause them to lose customers.

Silly me, I should have thought to post it. It really is an excellent peice of software.

It says the planet was discovered is 10.5 lightyears away. This is wrong, the planet WAS 10.5 lightyears away in 1990!
There's nothing to say it wasn't destroyed by a giant "laser" 5 years ago!
