In related news, the bandwidth usage in Sweden is back up to the numbers before the IPRED law was enacted. Normally the usage is low during the summertime, but apparently not this summer. It is speculated that the increase is because the law is pretty toothless at the moment, and the bandwith usage may decrease if the current investigation goes to court and leads to a conviction.
I think the wild success of political fundraising sites ought to be enough proof. Candidates and bloggers regularly raise tens of thousands of dollars from lots of small contributions, and the contributors aren't even getting anything in return. Never underestimate the motivational power of a thermometer graph.
But the people (and corporations, don't forget them) who donate money to political parties or candidates do really want to get something back if their candidate wins: The want the candidate to favor the donors suggestions, which might make quite a return on investment. Also, most people and corporations donate to as many candidates and parties as they can, so no matter who wins the donors will always get their ROI.
Up until recently, I've only used 8-bit characters. Around a year now I have been working mostly with C#, which means I don't have to worry about character width or such stuff that much. Actually, despite its Microsoft origin, I think C# is actually quite nice language, with pretty good default class library. I'm even thinking about doing some private programming with it, using Mono on Linux.
I have often used memcpy instead of strcpy when I have known the length of the strings, and also known the destination to be large enough. I'm guessing many developers will just #define memcpy to something else and continue as nothing happened.
First, yes they can do whatever they want, as long as it is legal.
Second, you are mixing up the Pirate Bay with the Pirate Party. Two very different things. Also, the Pirate Party in TFA is the German Pirate Party, which is very different from all other Pirate Parties in other countries.
Actually, I don't know what to say. Really, no idea at all. Although I have to admit that anything that raises math-awareness in school is good, but will it lead to that?
Good point. I don't think many cameras run Linux, but if they did, I would expect them to be next.
Oh but there are... For example this one. From Sony none the less.

So basically I did the same thing then, that I do now. . That's depressing.
Yes, but now you can do the same thing you did then FASTER! Especially, now you can see god knows how many pictures of naked women, in the same time frame you could see only one back then. That's what I call progress!
How will this stand up in other countries with other laws? For example, by Swedish law if I cancel membership of a club or organization, I can tell them to remove all records of me. Sure, Facebook doesn't have an office in Sweden (that I know of), so it might be a little hard to sue them if they don't comply. But that hasn't stopped US companies/people for suing foreign companies/people, so it might work the other way around too? By the way, there is also a law in Sweden that entitles me to ask any type of organization, local or governmental authority, etc. to give me all information they have about me.
What I don't understand is why it has to be done all at once? Why not do a rolling switchover? Switch a few transmitters at a time. This also makes it much easier to weed out problems, that can be solved much earlier. Worked very well for Sweden. And before anyone complains that Sweden and the USA can't be compared, remember it's just a question of scale. When Sweden switched two or three transmitters to digital at a time, the USA have to do twenty or thirty. Still better than to switch everyone at once, IMHO.
Then there's the United Kingdom. The Roman's used to grow grapes there. Now if people grew grapes there today folk would say "Look, global warming! There's your proof." Only this occurred hundreds of years before the Industrial Revolution...
Grapes have been grown in the UK for hundreds of years, and they are grown there now. Except historically they were grown in the south of England, and now they are being grown in Wales. Global warming is making wine making more viable in the UK.
On the island of Gotland in Sweden there is a winery growing its own grapes. So it's possible even further up north than Wales.
I didn't read the whole article, but after the first paragraph on Shuttleworths keynote presentation all I could think was "He's talking about ARexx." It's a version of REXX made for the Amiga for things just like scripts, automation, plugins and to act as a glue between applications.

What, AT&T doesn't support MMS? Wow, the US truly have fallen behind!
It seems like this kid didn't have to worry about light pollution.

Of course. Using "length + 1" isn't that hard. Cut my teeth with this in the mid to late 90's, doing network buffering for muds. :)

Maybe it's just as simple as Biden wanting more money? "Give me more money and I'll make sure the 'right person' gets approved."
Oh man, that rug really tied the room together.
Or:
3. Both of the above
The problem is that AP doesn't want to stop Google from indexing them, they just want to be paid more.
Yes, violence is the only solution.

A company called "LifeArt" making coffins... Yeah, I guess life and coffins goes hand in hand.

Lots of these reports comming out lately.
We need a world-wide ban on all phones with cameras!
You forgot to mention that Yahoo is still very big in south-east Asia. In some countries their mail and messenger services are number one.
