Any changes, even minor, to a ball or tool that sportsmen practice with relentlessly, would not be easily adopted by them.
Take a tennis ball for example. Any electronics placed in it would modify the physics of the ball tremendously, and the players would be playing an entirely new game.
Until a person with a regular flu, eats undercooked chicken soup, and catches the bird flu. Then the virus with mutate within that person, and a new strain could infect his mother/girlfriend and viola! - instant pandemic, just add water.
Is XUL part of AJAX? I know it has the XML component, but I'm unclear on this one. Can anyone shed any light on what AJAX is and how it differs from XUL?
I wonder if you can 're-program' the device periodically. As you age, your gait changes; and I wouldn't be surprised if your gait changes based on mood.
Heh - I as a representative of an, uhm, heh *chuckles*, very significant [hand gestures] country. I'm _very_ willing to, uhm, "work something out" with your underprivileged land, err - heh, I mean that, my constituent [Microsoft, Inc.] and I are willing to "faithfully" interpret your country's proposal.

It's kind of like when they bought Macromedia for the "Flash" component, while subvertly covering the real purchase - Dreamweaver.
If you control the source of creation like, oh say, Dreamweaver - which the _vast_ majority of designers/coders/programmers use, you can control the outcome (regardless of it's "standards" compliance).
Your users are none-the-wiser because they just want pages that look right.
This is the same-old scenario, just in a different form. Scare your users senseless, and then "protect" them from your FUD.
It's everywhere in life - you either read it blindly, or you educate yourself about the issue and turn this world into something corruption-free.
I've used rentacoder extensively as a software buyer. I haven't used it as a coder, so I can't attest to it in that regard, but I hire people on there all the time.
This would require everyone in the EU to reconfigure the nameservers to point at a different set of root servers overnight.
Wrong. Twice. #1 - It would merely require a handful of the most power EU backbones to point to the new servers. The resultant results would trickle down to the wee people. #2 - It would break if people didn't change overnight - because by definition you would get result skew, and that means some people see one thing, others see another.
You probably _will_ be around. That's the problem. Global warming is a logarithmic scale, not a linear one. We're quicly approaching the apex of that curve, and it curves UPward very fast. We'll see massive changes happen very rapidly.
1) Apple acquires Tivo. 2) Apple introduces set top box built on Tivo Technology. 3) Ipod "docks" into said set top box (or computer). 4) Ipod also "docks" into vehicle entertainment systems. 5) Hella Profit!
The iPod is the perfect device (as if we didn't know that already).
Manipulating "mother nature" in any form is a very bad idea, IMHO. So we have now made these mosquitoes visible for the benefit of the Human race. The ultimate question remains - how will they affect their/our eco-system? Could they evolve beyond their current nusiance state into a more damaging state because of our human intervention? We're basically mutating them about 1 million years ahead on the evolutionary scale, yet in a matter of a few human years.
It's just as possible to be too smart for one's own good, as it is to be too stupid. It's called Darwinism and it works on every evolutionary front (progressive and digressive).
Oh yeah, as to some of the information you should take:
VIN numbers, jewelry serial numbers, serial numbers of any insured items, etc..
Also, you might want to include important phone numbers - many people these days don't memorize important numbers, they just store them blindly in their cell phones. I'd include, family numbers, insurance company phone numbers, local hospital phone numbers, etc.
You also need personal information: Blood Types of yourself and your spouse/kids; social security numbers, etc.
But in mine, I put laminated copies of those documents, or in the case of the passport, it's in dual plastic baggies. I'd hate to be in a setting like the N.O. Superdome and have to say, does anyone have a computer that I can copy my electronic data onto?
No thanks. Some things are too important for that.
Now, for the post-crisis management phase, it makes perfect sense - assuming your usb keychain drive survives the journey back to your parents' house.
Perl / PHP is not a killer solution for everything. Particularly, if you use an embedded system that doesn't have php/perl installed, you'll find that bash/busybox is very much your friend.
That said, I love php and don't know that I'd do without it (aside from use bash for everything).
I actually use a shell script in my.bash_logout that appends my.history file to a master "history" file. It's helped me numerous times when I've need to recall a command I ran ages ago. I just use grep succesively until I find the obscure command string.
I don't mean that I was looking for a single command; I use bash pretty hardcore, and I've used pipes to do some pretty extensive things - that's where I think history has it's greatest use.
(and yes, I'm using bash 3 and my HISTSIZE envvar is set to 10000)
I'm going to have to disagree with you - somewhat. Let me preface by saying that I enjoy working at medium sized, non-tech companies. That may be a core element of my point.
I've been a professional software engineer and and electrical engineer. I've been a one-man-do-it-all IT guy, and I've been a help desk employee. I'm currently an IT Director (management), and I thoroughly enjoy it. I get to help my team in a hands-on way, and I get to use _all_ of the skills that I've acquired. I'm not a typical PHB, I'm an experienced worked-my-way-up manager. I think that because I can be empathetic to my employees, there is a level of respect among us.
I think that's an important distinction that should be made here.
I thought I'd love working for a technology company, until I was pigeonholed and creatively destroyed. I think that's an inherent part of working for a tech company. By definition, your peer group will have big Ego's, are also wildly creative, and stubborn - (in general).

Everyone knows that Fox News isn't a real news channel. It's an enterainment news channel. Similar to A Current Affair, etc.
Take "Fox" News with a grain of salt, for real reporting see CNN, Bloomberg, or international news if you can get it.
Some thoughts:
1) Apple acquires Tivo.
2) Apple introduces set top box built on Tivo Technology.
3) Ipod "docks" into said set top box (or computer).
4) Ipod also "docks" into vehicle entertainment systems.

Nope, this is a tactical move. They are going probably planning to buy Yahoo.
In big business, the only way to compete against whomever is in #1, is to aquire #2.

Do you have a similar solution for du -S?
Some of the more usefule CLI commands in Windows, IMO. I hope this discussion wasn't limited to Unix or anything.
No this discussion isn't limited to "Unix or anything". The only limitation here is basic grammar.
How platform specific you are!

Cool. Thanks for the tip, I'll set that as my 'lsd' alias instead!
I never figured out a way to use 'ls' to show only directories (and not their subcontents), so I created an alias called 'lsd':
.bash_profile
alias lsd='\ls -l | grep "drwx"'
and placed it in my
It's quite useful, but it doesn't work well with shell scripts.

I'm with the poster; our rights are no longer being whittled away, they are blankely being carved away.
They are strategically building a spider web around us, and it won't be long until we just have no legal ability to defend ourselves/our rights.
