Google human-detection / anti-SPAM efforts are IP based and unless you're authenticated against google there's a very high chance you entire institution is being seen as a single entity. This is usually related to campus level NATing.
There is a variant which is the result of a well-intentioned librarian putting google scholar behind EZproxy ( https://www.oclc.org/support/s... ).
I'm thinking that the strips are a news item relevant to the agency running on a world-wide news channel (BBC/CNN/Al Jazeera) and then when a local media picks up the story.
"1 in 4 children are sexually abused by the internet."
Is that physically possible?
I recommend you take a look at the classic (and timeless) "A Rape in Cyberspace" by Julian Dibbell http://www.juliandibbell.com/text/bungle.html More than ten years old, but containing a core of truth none-the-less.

If there'd been a XML declaration and we'd been certain that this wasn't SGML, you'd be right, but the CONCUR feature of SGML allows _exactly_ this.
"The optional SGML feature CONCUR was intended to enable the simultaneous encoding of multiple views of the document (in particular, of both a logical and a layout view), but CONCUR has only awkward methods for handling duplication, suppression, and addition of data, and no methods at all, that I know of, for handling duplication and distortion. The standard is silent on whether parsers which support CONCUR must support simultaneous parsing with more than one DTD, so such parsers may or may not support explicit linkage between nodes in different document trees." http://xml.coverpages.org/murataSperberg.html
It is just as impossible to rape them, or cut a single hair from their heads.

As a long-time subscriber and poster to the list, I think the best thing about the article is the increased visibility it gives to the problem of computer-go.
It is not true that North Korea is an internet black hole. There are a
number of sites, such as http://www.mybaduk.com/
aka Koryo Baduk, aka International Friendship Baduk
Game Site, DPRK (North Korea) Lotto Venture which are
at least intermittantly reachable.
When there is connectivity, traceroute suggests a very long, slow trip, via China.
The UK also has some initiatives such as the UK Free
Software Network (UKFSN) which seem to be doing really well. It's a zero-support ISP which donates profits to open source projects.
Talking to Niall Sclater, Virtual Learning Environment Programme Director at The Open University on what they're having to do to Moodle to bring it up to scratch for their large community of blind users was very interesting. The OU have 100,000 students, 10,000 of them with a registered disability, basically they're have to completely redo the accessibility of Moodle.
There was, however, no suggestion that any of the alternatives, commerical or open source were any better.
cheers, thingie

Maintaining a stable kernel appears to be a battle to keep stability in the face of pressure to add new features. We've a number of techniques for accomodating these, including making tiny changes incrementally; code review and releasing a string of release candidates to catch the bugs.
Do you have any novel ideas on ways to balance the pressures?
What features to see as exerting the most pressure to get into the kernel?
Are there any of these features that you see as unlikely to get in anytime soon?
the bwt (burrows wheeler transform---the algorithm that gave us bzip/bzip2) is now about 5-6 years old, and appears to be heading for the big time, especially for large files (i.e. >2M tarballs), where it's very strong. in the areas where it's weak (small files, compressing real-time streamed data, etc) it appears to be making few inroads.
what do you see it's future as being, in relation to gzip ?
do you see any wide-spread use of large-model compression schemes (for example PPMD) ?
i read newspapers for good, well written, contextful, articles on current issues. what matters is not the bleeding-edge news, but well researched, well attributed, well edited articles on issues from around the globe which lie behind the bleeding-edge news. if X and Y have just gone to war, i'll find out about it on the web. what i won't find out (or not yet) is the relationship between the ethnic tensions over the last thousand years, the collapse of a recent tyrannical government in the area and the failure of this years rains have lead them to this point.
in short, what i read newspapers for is good journalism, which is medium independent, but which the newspapers currently have a monopoly on.
sounds like a great mouse---until a blind user sits down at the machine and finds that the latest release of her favourite applications is optimised for the mouse rather than her speach-based interface.
remember that bars aren't the only place to meet women. i take dance lessons and find it a great place to meet women. if you do the beginners lessons women _expect_ you to be a lousy dance partner, so no experiance is necessary.
it's also great for fitness (and heaps more fun than weights or the gym).
Snake oil continues to be a big issue in the encryption industry and something that you write about frequently. As computers increasingly become consumer items and cryptography becomes something everybody does do you hold out hope that consumer watchdogs will move against companies making the more gratuitous claims ?
much of what we know about the nsa comes from nzl, where there are partners in the echelon multi- national group. the local partners in the echelon group the gcsb (government communications security bureau---the body in new zealand which keeps it's end of echelon) regularly advertise for translators, particular in asian languages (take a look at where nzl is on the globe to see why this is understandable). i'm surprised that the article implies that there are no translators in the nsa.
or is there a strict seperation of the international collection of this data from it's initial handling.
all this comes back to the place of women in a male dominated society. until we treat women like people and not like objects we're going to have situations like this

This is most likely proxy-related.

While looking through the help to see whether Microsoft can spell RDF[1] or FOAF[2] (they don't appear to), I came across this[3]:
a tion_passport
"Why do I need to use Passport?"
"We chose Passport in order to help you consolidate the number of logins you have to manage."
*sigh* here was me thinking passport was dead.

PostScript and PDF are stack-based languages used by millions of people very day. PostScript, in particular, has been around a sinc the early 1980s.
