You can also use the SSL session key as a identifier. Of course, that requires the entire session to be encrypted, which is not practical in most situations.
Is Gator a scummy company? Sounds like it. Do pop-up ads suck? Hell yes, why do you think I use Mozilla? But does it matter in this case? No.
This case is about one specific thing, does control rest in the hands of the remote web site or within your own computer. The law does not give one damn about who Gator is; if Extended Stay America wins and sets the precident that the web site gets to control _completely_ how your computer displays it, it won't have matter if it were Gator or if it were motherteresa.com.
Look past the company and look at the issues at stake. It _is_ one worth fighting for.
"Port," that's funny. It's great we all have our high definition 3D force feedback full body immersive metaverse access portals at home, but like you said, the only problem is we can't carry it around with us...
Kernel Traffic is an excellent site that puts out 'issues' summarizing the major topics on linux-kernel. It's quite handy. There are also a few 'Kernel Cousins' covering other projects, including Wine.
First of all, CN modifies many anime horribly for content. Entire storylines are sometimes cut out of longer series.
I've only been watching Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star, but from what I've read, the edits haven't been too bad. Mostly substituting swears and lessening the amount of blood. Yes, I'd rather there weren't any, but I am far more happy at CN for making the effort and exposing me to some great stuff.
Anime has already gone fairly main stream. It's doubtful whether Adult Swim brings in very many new viewers, so I'm not too upset over them, either.
Er, really? Aside from some fluffy kids' fare a la Pokemon, Card Captors and the like, where are you seeing anime besides Cartoon Network? A few rare stateside movie releases (which I have only seen showing at independant and art-house type theatres) doesn't make it mainstream.
If I am overlooking some other mainstream venue for sophisticated contemperary anime, please clue me in; I've love to know about it.
I've always longed for those super-ultra-tiny notebooks like you find on Dynamism [dynamism.com], but the coolest ones don't have built-in CD or DVD drives.
You might want to look at the Fujitsu P-Series. The specs are pretty nice, it's quite small, it has a CD-RW/DVD drive built in (which can be swapped out for another battery), it's available in the States and it's much less expensive than a Dynamism import.
Zooming in on a screen size version is nice, but is there a way to get the whole image at full resolution?
Hack the image URL. The position and resolution are right in the query. For example, a 1024x768 detail from the New World map.
(I tell ya, our maps suck these days. No dragons, sea serpants, gods, cherubs... all you get are little icons that show you were the nearest Red Roof Inn is)
I found this page the other week (while trying to settle an argument over some street names) and I found you can get the entire full-resolution maps in gif - with a little hackery. Go to a map and set it at the smallest zoom. Now look at the image location - yep, it's CGI generated and right in the query are the position, width and height. A little trial and error and you can get the entire map out as a single gif.
The title "Microsoft may sanction the 'Switcher' PR-Rep" is misleading because the word "sanction" is misused. We're used to hearing "sanction" as a noun (as in "The UN-imposed sanctions on Iraq"), but when used as a verb, sanction has almost the completely opposite meaning - to approve of, condon.
So the title suggests Microsoft is pleased with the whole thing, not that the they going to punish anyone.
No I don't. I was, however, commenting on the fact that Redhat's updated kernel has been available for download for nearly two months and only now people have noticed the DCMA restrictions bit.
But the contraversy is over the description, not the patch. Or was the description previous available sans DMCA doom and gloom?
My collegues and I refuse to carry mobile phones despite the number of emergency-type situations we often find ourselves in.
If you just want it for emergencies, why not just carry it around powered off, only turning it on to makes calls? I can't imagine you'd be significantly endangered (assuming the dangers you speak of) by a minute or two of exposure on the rare occasions you need to use it (especially if it is a real emergency).
That patch was released on 2002-08-20, nearly two months ago, and was available through RH's up2date system so many US users will have updated to it. It's only now being reported as news about the DCMA restrictions?
Um... of course. Do you think a joystick driver bugfixes should normally be front page news?
For example, he advocates absolute freedom in one breath and tells everybody what to do in the next.
I assume you are referring to the 'viral nature' of GPL, i.e. that derivative works must also be GPL. I don't see any contradiction; what RMS wants is the most freedom for everyone. Look at it this way. Bill Gates has complete control of Windows, more than a free software developer does over a project he contributes too. But the general population of Windows users has much less freedom than they do with open source. Allowing Bill Gates complete freedom costs the rest of us a significant deal of freedom. RMS does not think it is too much to want everyone to share the same level of freedom for free software programs.
You might want to recall 150 yrs ago when some were saying "if you don't like slavery - don't own slaves, otherwise mind your own business. it's all up to whoever chooses" , there problem was that there was no equivalency relationship back then and there is none now.
Excellent analogy. Another way to look at:
Argument 1: Paid workers are more efficient and cost-effective than slaves. Argument 2: Paying workers is morally preferable than forced labor (and they're often just as good).
Of course I'm not saying closed source is the moral equivalent to owning slaves... just trying to demonstrate how the moral arguments for Open Source come into the picture.
Another poster has already done a good job pointing out your misunderstanding of RMS's position, so I won't reiterate. But I will mention that the view you are expressing is more in line with ESR's (and OSI's) position. Which is precisely why RMS gets pissed when people confuse Free Software with Open Source, since they are preaching two different arguments; ESR argues practicality while RMS thinks there freedom is the fundamentally important aspect. The fact that free software can be/sometimes is better is secondary.
Normally, your web server should spit out the proper information about the content-type. Putting in the document isn't required, but it's useful if your document is retrieved in such a way that the source doesn't give the information (i.e., if you are validating the document via form upload).
That is not the same. Not every interesting comment is insightful, but there are interesting comments which are insightful.
I'm not saying that the sets of comments of each type are disjoint but that the three sets, each consisting of one type, are disjoint, ergo there are no identical elements in each set ergo each type is unique and not the same as the other types.
The point is, if some bozo come up to Palpatine and says, "Hey! where'd you get that fancy army?" He doesn't have to answer him, THE CLONE ARMY WITH GUNS GETS TO.
Then why trick the council/congress/whatever to agree to form an Army of the Republic anyway? Remember, Palpatine is still maintaining his persona as an honest politician; he only shows up at the Jedi-arena-planet as Darth Sidious.

Would you mind enlightening me about what specifically the bug was? The entry in the 'vulnerability database' was incredibly vague.

Fujitsu P-Series, smallest notebook with an optical drive (CD-RW/DVD). 10.6"x7"x1.59". Marvelous little machine.
Too bad *PEG compression encodes not "pixals", but chunks of 8x8 pixels IIRC
But who needs compression when you have 60Gb/sq. in.?
Consider a 100dpi screen. 10000 pixels/sq. in. * 2 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds * 24 fps = 1.728 billion individual pixel values/sq in., which gives 34.7 bits per pixel value. Tada, beautiful 32 bit color.
I found the attitude in this story very odd, considering online map library exhibits [google.com] have been around many years.
I can't say I've surveyed a good sample of the online map sites, but the LoC site does stand out for the incredible resolution of the scans.

Good idea, I went and did the same thing. Although don't you think "Government & Politics" makes more sense?
This reminds me of Kary Mullis who invented PCR. His company was sold for $700M on the basis of that invention, he got a $10K bonus.
This looks like another good example. Although you could have mentioned wtf a PCR is.
For others like me, PCR stands for "Polymerase chain reaction. A method use to make multiple copies of DNA." (danke Google)
That is not the same. Not every interesting comment is insightful, but there are interesting comments which are insightful.
