It looks like they meant anti-war ralliers or war protesters, not anti-war protesters. The media in general constantly seems to repeat this phrase incorrectly.
And all this time I was almost certain that it was based on sound scientific research proving that 160 characters was the maximum amount of text a cell phone user could read before completely losing interest.
I don't get your point. All I read was: "And all this time I was almost certain that it was based on sound scientific research proving that 160 characters was the maximum amount of text a cell phone u".
How ever half hearted Microsoft's implementation is, at least they are close enough to the spec that someone could write a piece of XSL to correct the issues. Doing the same between OOXML and ODF is a little harder.
The only thing I would like to see now is other solutions, such as Apple's iWorks supporting ODF.
In other words, the reporters don't care what the readers think of their stories. As long as they get to over-hype whatever story they want (a brown nose Obama story, or a effusive global warming rant), they don't care if nobody wants to buy the paper.
I read it as the reporters wanting to publish news, rather that was fits best with the marketing.
Now we're gonna get the swine flu spread all over from the flying pigs.
I didn't think we would see this day. So either its flying pigs or hell freezing over. Then again maybe there is a side to Microsoft that we weren't even aware of.
Quake as a browserplugin? What's the point? What makes it better to play in a browser? I fail to get the point, you'll have to download a binary in any case.
Like many things it is because they can. Id is about paving the way with new gaming technologies, which usually are built around gaming graphics engines. Chances are any work that Id does here they will be able to license to other companies.
Just one question: If they are planning on a cross-platform web based gaming solution, then I imagine C3DL is the way to go?
As crazy as it might sound ask the people in charge of security, or whoever is in charge of giving orders to security. As others have said putting a sticker over the lense might be enough. Sure it will leave a sticky mark, but that is less pain the some of the damage other posters are suggesting. Present them with the issue and let them suggest the answer. If the answer causes you problems then tell them you need a realistic solution that will allow you to get your work done. You'll be surprised the answers and solutions you get when you tell people you can't work because of xyz.
Asking us, is simply presenting us with a set of assumptions and hoping to find a favourable answer. An analytical solution is a waste of time if the assumptions are wrong.
You wouldn't think so... But strangely enough Marc Emery got hauled off to jail for breaking a U.S. law on Canadian soil where there is no law against his actions [www.cbc.ca]. Thanks for setting that precedent Stephen Harper.
Then again when you see how much of a jerk Harper is being with the Omar Khadr case, you have to wonder whether he is either racist or has no care for what it means to be a national of your own country. We don't have a real good choice of parties, and we just happened to have one when where even his own party disagrees with their leader's actions.
as nobody sane from the US would assert that the US had recently elected a socialist
I was going to make a point of certain Republicans asserting that, then I thought a little and remembered you said "as nobody sane", and reckon you make a fair point.
Has the USA won any wars which it started? The two world wars don't really count since the USA didn't start them and they weren't the only allied force. I am not sure Iraq was a win given the mess that ensued.
Because the USA imports on such a massive scale, they have no hope of nspecting even a fraction of what comes in, so they do their best to fob off responsibility on other countries.
But it is not Canada duty to enforce some other countries law on their own soil. The jurisdiction of US law is, funnily enough, the USA. Canada should not be penalizing people on its own soil, based on the laws of some other country. If the USA is not happy with this, then they should simply be checking what comes through their borders.
And before you ask this is not a question of whether or not Canada is paid to help the USA, it is about Canada laws on Canada soil.
Wasn't this already said two years ago, and then when we looked at who this group was in the USA, it turned to be a 'media rights' group or something like that. Either way, I think Canada may just have a bit more sanity in it copyright laws. When I hear lobby groups who represent the likes of the MPAA and the RIAA, I would rather support Lawrence Lassig.
Why couldn't we just add another octect. So my new IP is 1.24.101.1.15.
If you are going to add another octect, which will invariably still break many things, you might as well just accept that going with the extra 12 octects is not much worse.
there will be little motivation to move to IPv6 until you can hit major sites, like cnn.com and slashdot.org,
I would love to see Slashdot show itself being a true "news for nerds" site, by being IPv6 accessible ASAP. There is one big issue: Slashcode is not IPv6 ready. Investigating why it turns out that certain major Perl libraries are not IPv6 ready, including libwww. I see someone has already made an attempt at offering a patch, but it has not been acted upon. I have other issues with CPAN and Perl, but that is another story.
If any there any Perl developers out there that could make the changes that would make Slashcode IPv6 ready, then that would be cool.
As for the other sites, their source is closed, so I can't comment.
The big problem is that IPv6 just doesn't provide a sensible migration path from IPv4.
In many ways this is true, but at the same time there is only so much a sensible migration path can do. As some point you will get to the IPv6 haves and IPv6 have-nots. Those who don't have IPv6 will have to decide whether they need it or can find a way to getting it. In many ways this is no different than when people were still moving away from propriety network protocols to IPv4, the difference is the number of users.
If we all start having systems using dual IPv4/IPv4 stacks now, and having real IPv6 connectivity now, then things won't break when suddenly IPv4 addresses can no longer be allocated. The thinking here is that at that point people won't know whether they are using IPv6 or IPv4, unless they are specifying numerical addresses. This is why the delay in making IPv6 available to everyone increases the chance of breakage becoming evident.
BTW I believe Vista is already using Teredo tunnelling standard, though I would like someone to be able confirm this?
Instead of hogging these, they should just give them up. They don't need all these addresses.
Sounds like you have never worked with large corporations? Believe me this isn't going to happen, since even if it was technically feasible the politics and bureaucracy would just you insane. Anyhow, who is to say that whole blocks aren't being used? Chances are you will find many partially used blocks instead of lots of block that are completely unused, and that different bickering departments are holding on to different blocks. Believe me, moving to IPv6 is a much more realistic and simpler way forward.
So then my linksys router with built in fully functioning out of the box 6to4 support is what... ? I didn't even know about it until I noticed I was connecting to ipv6 irc servers.
What model is that? Engineering probably didn't tell sales, since when I contacted them they said none of their routers support IPv6.
I want IPv6 support, but there are lots of pieces still not in place. I am actually using Miredo (Teredo implementation) when I am on the move and Sixxs when I am at home. These are more stop-gap solutions and until the necessary entities start allowing to get on board properly.
My parents live in France and they are with Free.fr who offers IPv6 as a standard option. On the other hand I am living in Canada and not one of the service providers offer IPv6 in any shape or form. One questioned about it they blame their up-stream provider. Even if they are ready the only IPv6 ready router for the home is the Apple Airport Extreme, and even then there is a blocker issue for connecting to Sixxs.net (Apple's bug). Linksys, D-Link and Buffalo are still not ready with a public release and you are left trying to see if the version of DD-WRT you need for IPv6 supports your router. Chances are you will be looking at eBay for a router that has enough flash to support it.
Like the Swine Flu outbreak, I get the feeling that few entities are going to be rushing to do any work until there is media frenzied panic.
There is no killer application for IPv6, since its just infrastructure. On the other hand the lack of a NAT can make certain application solutions easier to implement, since you don't need to do any NAT busting or other fancy tricks. Of course since internal addresses are now all routable, you will certainly need to make sure that you have a real firewall on the gateway device.
Once you are on IPv6 you can start playing around with IPv6 torrent and http://ipv6.google.com/ , if you are curious.
Mac OS X long ago learned to cope with mice sporting more than one button. OS X even does The Right Thing (context menus) with the secondary mouse button by default.
Actually it recognises three: if you are in the terminal you can select some text and past it at the prompt with the middle mouse button.
Fido is a cell phone service provider, here in Canada, and they called me asking whether I wanted their 3G USB dongle for my computer. It went along these lines:
Fido: Sir we would like offer you a USB stick to allow 3G connectivity from your computer Me: Sounds interesting. How much is it? Fido: 30$ a month for 1GB Me: Do you think I'm crazy?
Slashdot Mirror
So that's what the fuck is going on.
Fucking heck, I have no fucking mod points for that. Though, fucking insightful or fucking funny? Not sure which fucking which.

Got to love the double negation :)
No spirit is worthless if it contains alcohol of the appropriate kind.
Now add a bit radioactivity, and you have an after taste like non-other.

This product is the one that the Wii Motion+ uses. They actually unveiled it a year ago when Nintendo showed off the device at the E3.
Yup. A quick search confirms this: http://wii.ign.com/articles/893/893192p1.html
Hint, hint ... ah ok, then it is Micro Electronic Mechanical System (see: MEMS)
