Linus went on to underscore the fact that policing trademarks is not a method of making money, quite the opposite due to Lawyer fees, "not only do I not get a cent of the trademark money, but even LMI (who actually administers the mark) has so far historically always lost money on it."
From the article:
Because an ID is required to purchase a firearm from a dealer, Gun Owners of America said the bill amounts to a "bureaucratic back door to implementation of a national ID card." The group warned that it would "empower the federal government to determine who can get a driver's license--and under what conditions."
I expect this is precisely the plan. It has to start somewhere, and a driver's license is a pretty innocent place to start. Eventually, per Revelation 13:16-17, you will not be able to "buy or sell" without this ID, but that time is not yet.
Close, but not far enough. It is a slashvertisement for buying ink for pc printers from the printer manufacturer.
The rule is: any slashvertisement must contain the message within the summary (typically one or two sentences). Otherwise, it's not as effective. The message here is:
... images from top PC printers kept their colour longer than professionally produced photographs.
Additional evidence is in the BBC link: It recommended avoiding so-called third-party inks not produced by printer makers because they tended to produce prints that fade the quickest.
I recently found out "the history of science" is a separate department (i.e., separate from a history department) at some universities. The University of Oklahoma is one.
This particular discussion offers evidence why this seemingly narrow field is actually deep enough to warrant its own field of study. People may have heard of Tesla or Wegener, but it's nice there are some who specialize in knowing everything there is to know about people and their ideas.
The Rio Karma has ogg and flac support plus ethernet, but it's an HD-based player. I want one real bad, but even at $230 it's out of my price range (to say nothing of the $500 40GB model).
I have to admit, though, I have a 128MB MuVo and my wife has a 256MB MuVo TX. The Exact Audio Copy and LAME programs work really well, and MP3 is okay when I'm not in a purist mood.:)
I told them when I worked there as a developer that ogg support was important, but without a huge marketing survey (i.e. list of 50,000 people that won't buy a Creative player unless it has ogg support) to back it up my opinion didn't carry any weight.
If you want ogg, you need to communicate that to the VPs and product managers in the Milpitas office in an effective way. Maybe if enough people cry 'ogg' they will become interested.
Personally, I want flac support, but I'd be satisfied with a manufacturer that provided open-spec hardware (HDD or flash + microcontroller) and let OEMs (or open-source) supply the firmware and software.
A converged voice and data network may sound like a fabulous idea until you remember the last time a worm or denial of service attack brought your network to its knees. Do you really want the network and your phone system to go down together?
I am really surprised the author never mentions wheel factorization. It makes the task even easier. Here is my favorite program. It includes a 64-bit version.
it is entirely possible that one of your music files is the cause of the problem.
If a music file can crash an iPod, that's still a problem in my book (speaking as a programmer). If I fill a file with random data, the iPod should simply refuse to play it.
In the same sentence, the eWeek article also quotes one person as saying MD5 was cracked. It was not. Not only that, but the cracking of SHA-0 is not terribly useful as SHA-1 is in common use.
It's because of writers like this not checking the facts that we get stories like this or the faked-beheading story a while back.
I despise shoddy and lazy reporting; this eWeek article is full of it.
If the lower brace is pushed off the visible screen, you should probably break some of it out into a separate function. The number of lines in any function should be kept as small as possible, about 60 or so, but that's for another "Ask Slashdot".:)
I've been keeping up with Dr. Dietz's work since Purdue. I really admire his work, and I even ran a small 2-node PAPERS cluster at home using his AFAPI library.
PeTS may be applicable here, especially his research into Flat Neighborhood Networks (FNNs). However, I think that AMD/Intel sytems use too much power (70 watts or so each). A computationally-equivalent cluster of VIA EPIA motherboards (maybe 10 watts each) would be both physically smaller and much easier on the electric bill. At $100 each for a VIA EPIA V10000A or $163 for the newer VIA EPIA M10000 Nehemiah I could afford to both buy a clusterand run it. Running an AMD cluster would use more electricity than I could afford.
The picture in the middle of the PeTS page, KAOSlab.jpg, is my background desktop at work, and I often get comments. I wish I were so lucky as to work with that sort of thing every day.:)

Yes, they are.
Also you can just cancel your onstar if you don't like it.
No, you can't (It doesn't go away).
this isn't a privacy issue
It's a privacy issue until you physically disconnect the unit.
Also in the news: ... well, nevermind.
A new study finds that the size of one's pr0n collection is inversely proportional to the size of one's
If you read the ads, you might notice some things never change:

I second that. I use proxomitron _everywhere_ -- don't browse without it!

Unless MS needs it for a non-x86 X-BOX 2. VPC can give it X-Box compatibility.
