This is cool, but I now have to ask what players are available on the various OSs to play the stream? Can iTunes be used to play this, either on MS-Windows or MacOS X?
Looks someone tried to create a standards compliant theme, in 2002. I haven't really investigated much to see where they finally got to, but looking at one of the comments make me wonder what the oldest browser/. should work in?
Wow... the irony. Slashdot is talking about standards. Isn't it about time that/. itself should be standards compliant?
Is this a/. specific issue, or a Slashcode issue (slashdot is implemented using slashcode)? If it is the latter maybe a branch needs to be created to work on making a standards compliant version.
Guantanamo Bay is a bad example. I personally feel that what we're doing there is inexcusable, but it doesn't match your argument. You bring up two cases from Canada and the US where civil rights of citizens were violated, and one where those of foreign nationals were. You're better off pointing at the 3000 (I'm pulling that number out of memory from an NPR story) people who have been detained without due procedure and eventually let go (in some cases months later) without charges ever being brought. These are US citizens who were plucked out of ordinary lives in order to... what exactly?
While you certainly make the better argument, I would like to believe that those rights cover vistors. If they don't cover vistors, then at least these vistors should be deported. Those being deported should also be given a reason. This is an issue of human rights, not whether you are a citizen of that country.
We complain when some country in the Middle-East 'kidnaps' a foreign vistor, so unless we can show the better example it is hard for us to be the real judge.
Yaay! Let's glorify all the murderers who stand up to the US, and encourage them to keep killing!
Now, does that sound as silly to you as it does to me? If not, maybe you need to think about what you're saying a bit more, since encouraging mass murder is seriously messed up.
From reading the grandparent post, the point is being made about the Bush family and not the USA. While a president leads the country and should represent the country, it does not mean the he does not have an agenda that is independent of the wishes of the majority of the citizens.
You should realise just because someone is generally in the wrong, that they can still have good points. Also just because someone is generally right it does not mean they can't make bad points. In life you need to be able to learn as much as possible of the views of all sides, to make the best judgement possible - one source of information is not the same thing.
"understand and respect your enemy and you will be in a better position to deal with them".
A little off topic, but does anyone if there is a solution equivalent to VMWare for the PPC or something like Linux-on-Mac (as opposed to Mac-on-Linux)?
Just to say that looking at the system requirements, Windows needed. Sorry no Linux or MacOS X support:( Shame I would have been a little more tempted otherwise.
On the subject, does anyone know of good GIS software (open source or commercial) for either MacOS X or Linux? At the moment all the ones I have seen are for MS-Widnows and I can't seem to find any affordable maps, that I could eventually write a program for.
This looks like an interesting product. What I would finder even better is to have Celestia be able to do something like this. That would mean you could navigate around space and then zoom into ground level detail.
And next week we'll see Saddam Hussein proclaiming that he is in favor of democracy.
I trust Hilary Rosen to really support Creative Commons about as much as I expect Bill Gates to support Linux.
People change, as do what influences them. These people in protect their opinions because of their vested interests. If the situation changes, then their point of view may change too. Any smart person is capable of accepting the benefits of someone else's point of view if there are indeed real benefits.
Remember Hilary Rosen is no longer in charge of the RIAA, so she doesn't have to play the same game, even if she still believes in the mantra she preached. In fact reading the article shows that she understands that the record industry is in need of change, but as the same time people should not accept everything for nothing. She sees the CC as choice made by the artist about the accessibility to their works, which is different from someone deciding to do something with a copyrighted piece of work that the copyright does not permit.
Which format card reader would you put in? Compact flash? MMC/SD/Mini SD/TransFlash (last two with adapters)?
You make a good point, but Apple still needs to provide a adaptor an an option, though it needs to be small unlike the huge adpator from Belkin. Even if Apple goes with option 3, they really need to make this an option in their build to order list - I just checked and this is not an option.
The other thing which would be cool is if digital cameras, such as the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II, could make use of their Firewire connection to transfer photos to the iPod.
Just out of interest I just saw that DP Review had their own comments.
With plants and yogurt. If you hook up a polygraph to a plant, and have a cup of "live" yogurt beside it. If the yogurt is disturbed (such as stirring up the fruit in the yogurt). This will kill the live bacteria in the yogurt and the plant would react.
I'm not sure, but I would say the plant was lying. The bacteria on the other hand was just making things difficult by revolting against the stirred fruit.
One of the better approaches, though a little more complicated is linked arrays. It has the nice advantage of being speedy when iterating through the arrays and can be extended as the room in the current arrays runs out.
With annoucement of this trojon and the potential Mac trojan it got me wondering whether an 'installer sandbox' would be of use. Basically it would allow the installer to run and then check which files would have been installed or modified. It would then warn of any potential security issues and at that point you can decide whether you wish to run the installer for real.
A simple generic version of the tool would allow you to log all file accesses of a file. This would be like lsof for a process, but instead would monitor the application from launch to exit.
I don't think our quarterlee fees have been much in excess of $100.00 per quarter.
If that's all it is then it sounds more like an administrative fee than a bid to make money. BTW what does the $100 fee allow you to do with you MPEG-LA license?
how it determines this I don't know, and I suspect few people outside apple do
Well I could guess that the system cycles updating retrieving and sending back controls to the firmware. If the firmware fails to receive after a certain time it would fall back to default mode. If this is the case then any OS that does not know how to control the hardware would be running with a fan full blast.
Although this probably a good explanation, couldn't something simpler be at play, such as:
- atmosphere: although it is very thin by that point there is probably still enough to cause drag, even if we are talking decimals
- Earth gravity: the Earth still has a gravitational effect even at that distance, so taking into account the pull down would reduce the forward vector of the satellites
- Moon or Sol gravity: pretty much anything large enough has a gravity that will effect objects close by.
Because we can't rule out other simpler causes, such as grativational or atmospheric drag, I am not ready to say this confirms relativity, in the physical sense. Then again I must admit I do view relativity as more as an observational theory than a physical theory.

It would be awesome to see Apple incorporate this into the next version of Keynote to have a cross-platform way to export presentations.
It is an interesting idea, though I am just wondering what this has over other solutions such as PDF?

Taking a quick gander at the cat genus, known as Felidae*, there still seem to be a few, though they aren't all catchy, or well known, such as Ocelot.

Fair enough, and quite honestly I reckon the the FUD makers in Washington take the same approach.
