There used to be editors that would look over the content before it was on the front. They would fix glaring mistakes and sometimes grammatical issues. I had it done to one of my posts and I was ever grateful. If the system isn't going to allow a time frame for editing after the fact they should go back to reading over things that have high impact on the front page.
I hate that I have to login in order to make the comment section readable. It's my biggest gripe of anything. I used to love this site but with other communities out there this ones has been a solid meh. If it weren't for content more targeted to my interests I'm not sure I would even come by. I really hope they fix some of the problem that I feel that have been around for years.
I thought they had suspected that it will exit the solar system but lost contact with it in 2003. I'll have to look it up and see, I do know that it was set to continue on after we had lost communication and that it has some plaque on it about the human race, it started heading out of the solar system after checking out one or two of the plantes I think it started heading out in the 70's so it could be possible.
I read this and I got chills. This is amazing to think that we, even if we ourselves physically have done it have left our solar system. This to me is my moon landing I can't wait to hear what they find once they pass the bubble shell.
I got all excited when I bought my first place 2 years ago. The place wasn't well taken care of and when I was fixing it up I put in a bunch of CFL's for my place. But it just didn't seem right, seriously. My wife in her work space was getting annoyed with the lighting so finally I had some old bulbs laying around and I popped them in, she noticed a difference before I even told her that I had changed them. I still want to use CFL's so I have them pretty much everywhere, except in places that I will be reading. This seems to be a good combo for the most part.
So reasoning here is this, I might have got a lower end CFL or a shotty product, but then I have to ask you, did you ever get a bad colour or light coming from an incandescent bulb? I've bought cheap ones all over the place and never had the issues people seem to have with buying cheap CFL bulbs. It would be my hope that they would make sure that the cheaper ones(probably older 15 year old technology) would disappear and make people more willing to switch over.
So while there might be little difference between the two if you get a high end CFL you will probably find most people get the cheap ones that give off funny colours(at least they seem to to me, but I think Incandescents give off too much of a yellow glow) and people will be less apt to go out and buy them.
I think CFL's will eventually be replaced by better LED's than we currently have. They don't have the mercury, they don't waste any heat creating light(yes CFL's still do) and they last longer. Currently they kind of suck(only currently get bulbs up to 60watts) and they cost a lot more than CFL's(cost of white LED) and the colours arn't quite right compared to the sun's spectrum. But I think that LED's have more of a future as they are still being developed and hopefully they can fill the void with a better spectrum of light than CFL's.
I ramble on too much, basically I like the idea of CFL's and I think people should use them as much as possible, but I can see the benifit of still having incandecent lighting at least for the time being, and this news is sad.
No cops were called to the scene. Some schools now have a student liaison officer that will do random things for the school like talk to students about being in trouble or dealing with matters that teachers and administrative staff shouldn't be dealing with. In this case questioning a girl and searching her. It got to the point that the officer on staff decided that this person needed to be taught a lesson and called down a female officer to do a search. This girl showed no respect for the staff at the school or the officer. Normally I would say that this went to far but from reading the whole report I say it went just how it should. If the little brat had just admitted to making a mistake she wouldn't have a court date she would have detention or just had to have her dad pick up the phone. Instead she went to the insane streach of slipping the phone into her undone pants while talking to the officer and denying everything. Even when she was found out she still said she didn't have it, and when they found it on her she said it didn't work. This is crazy I hope she gets community service, that's what this kid needs.
Oh and it's not stupid to call the cops, I think a good cop would prefer to put the hammer down on a kid before they actually start doing something serious. Lying to an office I know you think isn't a serious problem but I sure do.
On a side note I wonder if the kid was read her rights and if she had the right to refuse to talk to the police officer like a real criminal does. I've heard time and time again from lawyers you never talk to an officer all you will do is incriminate yourself more. Really though the kid should have just sat there shut up and handed over the phone and took her detention.
What if it is your job not to hand over those kinds of documents to anyone besides maybe your successor? The interview said he was sitting in a room with a bunch of people and there were others on the other end of a speaker phone who were ready to test the passwords. On a very secure system like he had setup it could be bad if he spouted off the right passwords. He doesn't know who's listening and he doesn't know who will use them.
At my current job their are two main guys in the downtown office, how they setup the root passwords on the main server is they each type in their part neither of them know the whole root password. Their parts are written on a piece of paper and stored separately in a secure place(I think in a safe). The CEO the manager no one is to have the root passwords, they are god mode and can be exploited, if they are the tech is legally liable(at least here) if they are used and the proper precautions weren't documented and policies weren't set in place.
So yeah they own the systems and I guess they own that information that's on the systems so what's the guy to do? Risk getting in trouble for handing out the root passwords to X number of people, or keep them and say that he won't give them out to a random crowd of IT, HR and Managers? Personally I would say lets sit down write up some documents saying I'm giving them to you and I'm not responsible for what happens after. I might also say if this is whats going to happen the signing of that document will be followed by my resignation. I would also request that the root password only be viewed by my successor but what ever.
He really didn't handle it correctly, he was stupid to think that they wouldn't take action. This seems a little excessive, like others have said they are just saving face.
It depends on how it's run if it's setup in a way where you can get tax breaks or funding if you include Canadian content, then it's not limiting you on what you can put on your website. What it would then do is give an incentive to providers to make extra cash by dropping in the maple leaf once in awhile.
I don't think this is the same as net neutrality. I would hope that the CRTC would not bock content that didn't fulfill their agenda. I also think that this would only effect canadian sites, but how do you end up defining that? Something hosted in Canada or something from the.ca domain?
I just hope that they Mull it over and don't do anything, but I doubt that it's going to be anything really that bad. Just glad I don't have a great firewall like China or Australia... maybe we already do and I don't know..
As someone posted further down the original poster didn't have those dates in there either. This is to blame completly on kdawson. I don't like to put down the guy but that's a pretty bad messup and to not have it fixed already do they not read the comments after?

Exactly.
I end up using IE at work because all of the users log into their email wich is run on an exchange server. So when they are logged into their email account they loose some features if they are using firefox compared to using IE. I try to secure things as much as possible using GPO's and such but it still is something that's sore with me. The people who run the mail servers decided a few years ago to only use microsoft solutions. So we are pretty much stuck with it as a standard for almost everything just because of that one system. So far it works pretty good but I could see a few different solutions that would not only run as good but be cheaper and just as easy to maintain. In some cases things could be done better if we weren't so stuck on Microsoft.
They really get you hooked all their systems tie together and it's so easy to just say hey were running active directory so we migth as well run exchange. Hey were running those so why not use sharepoint and so on until your in a situation where you don't even want to think of switching to something else.
They're like meth dealers. They get you hooked and the shits gonna kill ya.
It depends my wife got ring with small diamonds that looks amazing because of the clarity, it wasn't overly expensive. She loved it but she would have been happy with a cheap ol' ring with no diamonds in it if thats what I had bought her. That's because we had other things we needed to spend the money one.
Now if I was well established and had money no need to worry about buying a house or anything like that, if I had gone out and spent 5 dollars on the ring it would have probably been disappointing. The ring isn't something silly you give because it costs a lot of money, but it should represent how much that person means to you. If you would rather go get a fake diamond she could take it as you don't think she's worth a real one. It might have nothing to do with value.
Some girls like my wife have common sense and don't think such ways. There are also some girls who I have known that were very nice that would be happier with a small diamond ring than a large factory made diamond.
Following social norms doesn't make you shallow. It just means you are likely normal in that setting. Not to say that it's right but I don't think you should call them shallow for it. Shallow is when you present the ring you could aford and they are pissed you didn't go x amount into debt to get it and still want a nice wedding.
on a side note my wedding band cost more than her two rings(not together).
The Prime Minister decided to try and pass a budget that would cut funding to opposition parties and make sure that civil servants couldn't go on strike. This was met with a lot of yelling and wining. So the opposition parties(which consist of the majority of members of ailment) decided to get together and form a coalition government. The Prime Minister freaked out and asked the Governor General for a time out of ailment(prorogue), until after the new year. This basically makes it so that the opposition parties can't have a confidence vote and try and form a new government with them in power, or have a new election. This was given to the Prime Minister, now ailment is stuck only able to do everyday tasks and not do things like pass new laws and bills and crap.
It's all a big freaking gong show, so nothing will pass until the new year, and even then they will probably be focusing on each other and crying about how they got kicked out of the sandbox. Once that's done they will probably work on pushing the budget through(if we don't have a new election) which will consist of incessant debate over bailouts and more wining about what happened last week.
I live in Canada and we have a simular thing with radio. They have to play X amount of hours of Canadian content, which is good because it gives the local artists some play(usually unless they blast Celine Dion *winmper*). But to do this for Candadian websites seems just weird. How is this going to benifit Canadians to have X amount of Canadian content on the sites. I don't see why it needs to be regulated any further than not allow children from seeing explicit material(excess violence and sexuality), which probably doesn't stop most children anyways(didn't when I was 16), but I can see it's usefullness.
Regulation of the internet in any way takes away apart of what the internet is. Freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and rarly do you have to listen to someone bluber an idiotic viewpoint. Regulating the internet goes against what it has come to represent raw informtion. Not always accurat not always sensable but I wouldn't change it for anything.
If people are afraid of the internet so much that they want to change it, I would like to ask them why? Why do they need to confine Canadian websites to having a certain amount Canadian content when it's a global community. The content shouldn't be limited because of the location the domain is in. Places like CBC.ca TSN.ca and CTV.ca are always going to have the canadian content I want. news.google.ca maps.google.ca all have local content for me if I need them. People do a good job of keeping canadian content and other out there for everyone because it's in their best interest.
This group is silly and I would like to know if there is somewhere I could send a letter telling them as much.
I reject arguments that innocent people have nothing to fear from invasions of privacy, but objections to this don't even seem to be based on one of those.
Someone once said that you would be suprised how many people who think that their father is their father is really just their fathers friend. This database would be used to search for people with simular DNA as well as exact matches. Say you get a partial DNA hit on a crime only to find out that your father is not your father and that some one else commited the crime. It does target innocent people don't even think that for a second. Or that your brother and father are part of an investigation but you were somehow ruled out. It could break up a family it could tramatize a young adult. There is a reason we have privacy, sometimes it's the secrets of the parents that ruin the young but it shouldn't be up to the goverment to decide what secrets we should have or how they are told.
I agree but I wouldn't say it's as much like buying a car from a car dealership, it's more like leasing the car for a term. They can set the cap on the milage you can take it and they can put in a governer and charge you more if you damage the car removing the governer or go over your alloted. But your point is that they shouldn't be able to limit how you use it, and I don't think there is anything in the contract saying that they can. They don't have any right to decided what is a proper use of your bandwidth that you are allocated. They can't all of the sudden decide to limit how much to use.
At the end of the month if your over your limit that is set(cap) charge them more. If they are only allowed 50gigs of data and they have more charge them per gig or meg or however you want to spell it out. It's not like they are uncapping their connection and stealing bandwidth from the stream. They are using their bandwidth that was given to them to the fullest potential. It's not their problem that the ISP decided to oversell their bandwidth. Thats like saying four people can have 100 dollars having 200 and when Billy spends his 100 dollars accuse him of stealing from the other 3 because theres only 100 dollars between the last 3.
I was with you but at the last minute went with an LCD anyways. The reason being is that I have my computer hookedup to it as well(through an HDMI connector) and I use it as a monitor 80% of the time(I like having a 42' monitor) So I was wanting a plasma but worried about the burn in that I'm sure would have occured(I tend to not use a screen saver and leave the monitor on). I have noticed that I don't tend to leave the TV on as much as I would a regular monitor because of power consumption, but I still don't think I would chance it. So I do see a large market for LCD out there.
The problem is that I also see Plasma being the standard choice for video playback, yet when I ask my friends they are all going LCD. It seems that the LCDs are typically winning out around here for no apparent reason(at least to me) maybe it's marketing. Anyways I don't think the typical consumer is going to be too conserned about the difference between quality in an LCD and Plasma, but I know if I didn't worry about burn in(my next one might be plasma) I would definatly have gone for a 720p plasma instead of my 1080p LCD.
I'm not 100% sure but I think the HD is free but the digital cable box most people have to rent is going to cost you somwhere between 5-10 dollars a month. The 100 dollars a year might not include the rental fee in their price. I don't know as I don't have american providers.
But his designs became more and more sophisticated, and he has built robots capable of climbing walls, serving water, lighting cigarettes, playing musical instruments and writing calligraphy.
So climing a wall, doing calligraphy and playing a musical instrument doesn't take some any computer parts? I would be even more impressed.
They are probably testing the waters with one ISP to get precedent that they can use against other ISP's. It looks from the article that they are the third largest ISP in the region. They probably don't want to go after the bigger ones first but they don't want to tackle a small ISP as well. I would guess this is just the first step in setting up a system for their benifit.
You could say that the centre of the universe is the point at which the big bang started and is expanding from. This might be a flawed theory as there might be multiple points that the universe expands from as well as multiple points of original origin. Maybe there was millions or billions of big bangs in the universe that caused the formation that we see today. I doubt we know enough to have a solid theory we can't even see far enough away to help us make perfect analysis of entire Universe, just the observable one.
This is just my belief I'm pretty much making stuff up on what I think is possible based on what I know.
I guess it depends on your needs. I never needed my creative zen vision(not the M) to have a remote control. On that note the vision had a built in IR receiver to use a remote with, so you didn't need a dock to use a remote. It had 2 3.2mm jacks one for headphones and one for video out with RCA's. I never needed anything fancier than that, it hooked up to any tv that had RCA's. You do need 2 cables if you wanted to watch video and charge it at the same time, but I do believe that you could get a dock for it as well. It did charge via USB if you wanted. Why not add more ports to the damn iPod and let the user decide which one they would like to use?
do people who play wow make up a small number of the population(on the internet) or people who play other games that distribute over bittorrent? There are a number of other services that have legitimat downloads that use bittorrent. I would say that Linux distros is probably the smallest use of bittorrent. So tell me how many people play World of Warcraft? 123 examples of bittorent use there is also vuse and I think bittorrent.com might even have some legal download thing now too(I can't browse p2p stuff at work to check)
bittorrent might be used for file transfer but so is direct download. Bittorrent is just easier on the servers that distribute the software it allows for a large cloud download. This is just a new technology that is just now starting to catch on with other companies as a way to distribute things(legally). Can it be used for illegal downloading and yes that's probably the number one use at the moment, but with game developers and content providers looking for ways to send large files and high definition content over the internet there is not a better way to do it. To remove that would be hampering the buisness model of these companies. If you think that it should be banned I think your wrong because there are a number of people who rely on this technology for legitimat use and even if it was 1% of the use I would still say you shouldn't hurt thoughs that are using it legitimatly.
These corperations are only going to hurt themselves by doing this they are the ones that need to be using legal content downloads and the best distribution method is going to be torrents.
I'm just curiouse what the event horizon for a black hole must really look like. Most of the images I have seen portray it as a 2D object in space, makes sense seeing as we will preceive it as a 2D object but of course it must be a 3D object. So the event horizon shouldn't be exactly flat as most pictures have to show it. I was wondering if there is a 3D picture that has been simulated to show the event horizon as I think it would be interesting to see how everything is sucked in if they have poles that pull harder than other areas it seems like something interesting.
So, they went to a site out of the country to do it. Are you saying that you should ban everything in amsterdam just because some guy from kentucky decided to go there?

I don't see why it needs to be regulated any further than not allow children from seeing explicit material(excess violence and sexuality), which probably doesn't stop most children anyways(didn't when I was 16), but I can see it's usefullness.
Regulation of the internet in any way takes away apart of what the internet is. Freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and rarly do you have to listen to someone bluber an idiotic viewpoint. Regulating the internet goes against what it has come to represent raw informtion. Not always accurat not always sensable but I wouldn't change it for anything.
If people are afraid of the internet so much that they want to change it, I would like to ask them why? Why do they need to confine Canadian websites to having a certain amount Canadian content when it's a global community. The content shouldn't be limited because of the location the domain is in. Places like CBC.ca TSN.ca and CTV.ca are always going to have the canadian content I want. news.google.ca maps.google.ca all have local content for me if I need them. People do a good job of keeping canadian content and other out there for everyone because it's in their best interest.
This group is silly and I would like to know if there is somewhere I could send a letter telling them as much.
I reject arguments that innocent people have nothing to fear from invasions of privacy, but objections to this don't even seem to be based on one of those.
Someone once said that you would be suprised how many people who think that their father is their father is really just their fathers friend. This database would be used to search for people with simular DNA as well as exact matches. Say you get a partial DNA hit on a crime only to find out that your father is not your father and that some one else commited the crime. It does target innocent people don't even think that for a second. Or that your brother and father are part of an investigation but you were somehow ruled out. It could break up a family it could tramatize a young adult. There is a reason we have privacy, sometimes it's the secrets of the parents that ruin the young but it shouldn't be up to the goverment to decide what secrets we should have or how they are told.
I agree but I wouldn't say it's as much like buying a car from a car dealership, it's more like leasing the car for a term. They can set the cap on the milage you can take it and they can put in a governer and charge you more if you damage the car removing the governer or go over your alloted. But your point is that they shouldn't be able to limit how you use it, and I don't think there is anything in the contract saying that they can. They don't have any right to decided what is a proper use of your bandwidth that you are allocated. They can't all of the sudden decide to limit how much to use.
At the end of the month if your over your limit that is set(cap) charge them more. If they are only allowed 50gigs of data and they have more charge them per gig or meg or however you want to spell it out. It's not like they are uncapping their connection and stealing bandwidth from the stream. They are using their bandwidth that was given to them to the fullest potential. It's not their problem that the ISP decided to oversell their bandwidth. Thats like saying four people can have 100 dollars having 200 and when Billy spends his 100 dollars accuse him of stealing from the other 3 because theres only 100 dollars between the last 3.
I was with you but at the last minute went with an LCD anyways. The reason being is that I have my computer hookedup to it as well(through an HDMI connector) and I use it as a monitor 80% of the time(I like having a 42' monitor) So I was wanting a plasma but worried about the burn in that I'm sure would have occured(I tend to not use a screen saver and leave the monitor on). I have noticed that I don't tend to leave the TV on as much as I would a regular monitor because of power consumption, but I still don't think I would chance it. So I do see a large market for LCD out there. The problem is that I also see Plasma being the standard choice for video playback, yet when I ask my friends they are all going LCD. It seems that the LCDs are typically winning out around here for no apparent reason(at least to me) maybe it's marketing. Anyways I don't think the typical consumer is going to be too conserned about the difference between quality in an LCD and Plasma, but I know if I didn't worry about burn in(my next one might be plasma) I would definatly have gone for a 720p plasma instead of my 1080p LCD.
I'm not 100% sure but I think the HD is free but the digital cable box most people have to rent is going to cost you somwhere between 5-10 dollars a month. The 100 dollars a year might not include the rental fee in their price. I don't know as I don't have american providers.
But his designs became more and more sophisticated, and he has built robots capable of climbing walls, serving water, lighting cigarettes, playing musical instruments and writing calligraphy.
So climing a wall, doing calligraphy and playing a musical instrument doesn't take some any computer parts? I would be even more impressed.
They are probably testing the waters with one ISP to get precedent that they can use against other ISP's. It looks from the article that they are the third largest ISP in the region. They probably don't want to go after the bigger ones first but they don't want to tackle a small ISP as well. I would guess this is just the first step in setting up a system for their benifit.
You could say that the centre of the universe is the point at which the big bang started and is expanding from. This might be a flawed theory as there might be multiple points that the universe expands from as well as multiple points of original origin. Maybe there was millions or billions of big bangs in the universe that caused the formation that we see today. I doubt we know enough to have a solid theory we can't even see far enough away to help us make perfect analysis of entire Universe, just the observable one. This is just my belief I'm pretty much making stuff up on what I think is possible based on what I know.
I guess it depends on your needs. I never needed my creative zen vision(not the M) to have a remote control. On that note the vision had a built in IR receiver to use a remote with, so you didn't need a dock to use a remote. It had 2 3.2mm jacks one for headphones and one for video out with RCA's. I never needed anything fancier than that, it hooked up to any tv that had RCA's. You do need 2 cables if you wanted to watch video and charge it at the same time, but I do believe that you could get a dock for it as well. It did charge via USB if you wanted. Why not add more ports to the damn iPod and let the user decide which one they would like to use?
do people who play wow make up a small number of the population(on the internet) or people who play other games that distribute over bittorrent? There are a number of other services that have legitimat downloads that use bittorrent. I would say that Linux distros is probably the smallest use of bittorrent. So tell me how many people play World of Warcraft? 1 2 3 examples of bittorent use there is also vuse and I think bittorrent.com might even have some legal download thing now too(I can't browse p2p stuff at work to check) bittorrent might be used for file transfer but so is direct download. Bittorrent is just easier on the servers that distribute the software it allows for a large cloud download. This is just a new technology that is just now starting to catch on with other companies as a way to distribute things(legally). Can it be used for illegal downloading and yes that's probably the number one use at the moment, but with game developers and content providers looking for ways to send large files and high definition content over the internet there is not a better way to do it. To remove that would be hampering the buisness model of these companies. If you think that it should be banned I think your wrong because there are a number of people who rely on this technology for legitimat use and even if it was 1% of the use I would still say you shouldn't hurt thoughs that are using it legitimatly. These corperations are only going to hurt themselves by doing this they are the ones that need to be using legal content downloads and the best distribution method is going to be torrents.
I'm just curiouse what the event horizon for a black hole must really look like. Most of the images I have seen portray it as a 2D object in space, makes sense seeing as we will preceive it as a 2D object but of course it must be a 3D object. So the event horizon shouldn't be exactly flat as most pictures have to show it. I was wondering if there is a 3D picture that has been simulated to show the event horizon as I think it would be interesting to see how everything is sucked in if they have poles that pull harder than other areas it seems like something interesting.
So, they went to a site out of the country to do it. Are you saying that you should ban everything in amsterdam just because some guy from kentucky decided to go there?
