Hasn't the UK been fighting terrorism from Ireland relatively sanely for decades?
It's fairly sane now, but there were a lot of mistakes early on. Here's the thing though... in the rush to jump on the Terrorism bandwagon the government are making the very same mistakes again - except on a UK wide scale.
Insanity is to do the same thing and expect a different result.
Eclipse knew what they where doing... they offered 1000 free.eu domains. I went and got five of them (this was a week before landrush) and, despite the fact that those domains where free for a good few hours, I lost all but one because Eclipse where far far to slow. It took them until today to register the one that I did get. Blah!
1000 free domains, probably about 10 actually registered in the end. Blah.
Cross-architecture code isn't impossible. If you can find a sequence of bytes that peform one action on one arch (say a jump in x86) that has a safe and recoverable action on another arch (nop, or incrementing a register) then you could detect the arch and run appropriate code - all in a single binary.
I never did it, and it's possible that no such sequence exists, but it's an interesting idea!
These guys have a Linux powered network camera that uses Ogg Theora. The stream is a good bit thinner than MJPEG, has a nice high resolution and the entire thing is customisable. Bit pricy maybe, and not sure what it's night time performance is like. Might be worth a look!
Someone somewhere's going to come out with a software fix for this misery.
But why? Honestly I've never understood why people put up with that kind of thing. If it's that bad to start with, why bother?
I'd much rather have a less functional system that does what I tell it to, than one that tells me what I can do (or more importantly, can't do) with my own data. If they are so determined to strip away functionality through these artifical restrictions, then screw 'em! Choose something more constructive to do with your time and money - otherwise your only encouraging them to go further.
In the interestation of securitization, the catalogation of the nation's datation should not be left to the ineptitudination of incompetentation corporatizations with a historicalization of not giving full thoughtfulination to securitization.
I got this today. I was testing a power meter and needed something to bring the CPU load up a bit, and I instantly thought of seti@home. Been years since I used it so all this BOINC stuff is completly new to me.
So I install it, it asks me to enter the Project URL.. odd. I enter the SETI@home URL, and a few seconds later I'm staring at the proxy configuration page - no explination of why. I double check that I'm online, all is working. So I try one of the other projects. It works a little better this time, it's asking me to create an account. So now I've registered it should start working! Nope... there's nothing happening. After a minute of looking around I notice some red messages in the log telling me I've no disk space to store the work unit! Right... I've got 2.5Gb free. Somewhere (can't remember exactly now) it tells me to increase the avaliable disk space for the project in the configuration. So I open up the options screen... nothing even close to disk space anywhere.
So at this point I'm just fed up and uninstall the program, wishing for something like the old SETI@home client that just worked. If they want users they really really gotta improve this program a lot, because yea.. it's just crap!
Actually, there's a way to get sub-20-second laps on the course, but it's so difficult that we don't even bother for fear that we will mess up and lose the race.:)
It's very difficult, but it's possible to complete the lap in about 5 or 6 seconds using those two jumps!
One thing I never liked about MK:DD is that they seemed to fix all that.

In the UK you'll hear both ways being spoken, but it's always written DD/MM/YYYY.
There are local XP user groups?
Hmmm... great == get !
The codecs only work on x86 systems, and may be illegal to use in certain countries.
It shouldn't be necessary to great a new computer or break the law to watch a simple video.
Someone's nicked your emphasis, mate. And before you ask, it definitely wasn't me.
Well I was going to buy another Thinkpad because I've always been impressed with the earlier ones and really impressed with the X series.
Is there any other laptop out there as good? (And doesn't have those horrible pad mouse things?

Interesting! Lack of it has increased by web-browsing ability! Not to mention saving my eyesight!
So, is this going to make OpenBSD a new target for viruses? Someone better tell Theo!
X isn't that big. I managed to squeeze Xorg onto a compact flash - the whole system took up about 8Mb before applications.

Don't worry, it was just someone burning some GIFs.

A little late though

More on that story later.

Mars Express and Beagle 2 where separate missions (like Polar Lander and DS2), and so far Mars Express has been a success.
Dust or other bits of dirt on the CCD can cause circles under certain conditions. But if your camera is well sealed then it's probably not that.
we have the sonic toothbrush
Who looks at a toothbrush and thinks, 'Hmm, this could be a little more sonic!'
Neat! I wonder if it really works.
