The point is that the key combo has to be one that's intercepted below the application level, just like control-alt-delete on Windows. Nobody can "spoof" anything...
Huh? I thought control-alt-delete on Windows *can* be sent on the application level. I mean, when I use RealVNC on my Windows box, I can remotely send control-alt-delete via any VNC client.
Mathematica was not developed on a NeXT. I used version 1.2 in 1989 on a Macintosh SE. Wolfram Research (the company that develops and sells Mathematica) was founded in 1988.
No, it's not. Washington University in St. Louis is a private university.
Furthermore, you're making a presumption of guilt based merely on the fact that he was charged with the crime.
And of course he's guilty. He'll admit it. He told people he was going to do it, and he did. He used the phrase "civil disobdience", which implies intentionally breaking the law.
As seen in other replies in this thread, actually getting the email into gmail is quite easy (I would personally just use a quickie script using formail to bounce each message to gmail). The problem with this, and with GML, is that the dates gmail uses to sort would be the date the email is newly received.
Thus my 10 year old archive of email would all be dated as being received in 2004. There's got to be a better way.
I did a Google search on this topic, and the first link returned was the start of an email thread that turned out to be insightful reading on the key guys (Andreessen, Tim Berners-Lee, and many others) in early 1993 regarding the evolution of hypertext, HTML, and other related topics.
Hell, I probably would pay for gmail features if they added them
I second that. In fact, I sent them a similar message via their suggestion form. I explained that I would pay for the ability to have my old email (in mbox format) imported with the correct dates.
It's just too bad that what he says is complete madness. Calling Dick Cheney's daughter a sinner because she loves a woman? It may be a logically consistent point of view, Alan, but it's still a fucking monstrously bigotted point of view.
Heh. If Keyes and Dick Cheney's daughter were alive 100 years ago and were if they were in love, they'd be sinners. Two hundred years ago he might be in chains in a cotton field, and the moral majority would also (like he does) be quoting religion to justify his enslavement.
I equate people who are against gay marriage/rights/etc with those same people who were against the repealing of slavery (mid 1800's, against the idea of women voting (early 1900's), and against the idea of enforcing civil rights (1960's and beyond). One hundred years from now, these homophobes are going to be written into history books as further examples of people who don't respect an individual adult's right to do what they want with other consenting adults.
Does it really matter?

Star Wars on DVD
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
I was 6 years old when I saw Episode IV in the theatre. I grew up with Star Wars action figures (and lego) as my favorite toys, and I yelled at my parents when they gave away those toys while I was away at school. Episode IV goes down as one of my favorite movies of all time. Not because it was the best of them, but because as the first, it inspired my imagination. It made me think about outer space, about being an astronaut. It started me on the path of being interested in space, then science, then eventually computers.
I collected some of the comic books, and I've read a few of the novels. I've seen every SW movie in the theatre, and rent them when they come out on VHS/LD/DVD.
But does it really bother me that GL changes them? It doesn't. Would I like to own the original theatrical release on DVD? Probably. But I don't feel that I am entitled to it, and if it's not available, then it's not available. Am I the only one who feels this way?
My son is nine years old. He's enjoyed watching all five films we've rented, but he's only seen the Special Edition of the first trilogy. I don't really care if he ever sees the original.
I mean, they are only films. Yes, they're an important part of the history of film, but it's not like the originals aren't available at all. It's not like we're never going to be able see the original versions ever again. It's not like the old versions are being recalled, or being destroyed (think 1984). It's not like we're being "duped" into buying these versions - everyone who cares to find out will be able to know exactly what's changed.
I guess I just don't understand all the venom being thrown about here. Maybe if it were me, if I were the creator of this universe, maybe I would be satisfied with my first pass. Maybe. But who knows? I've never produced anything of entertainment value that millions of people have seen. If I did, and I later had the means and the money to change them, would I? Perhaps.
But in the end, they were movies. Not just movies - they shaped a part of my childhood. But they were movies. And those experiences as a kid, those moments about dreaming of a future so different to the present, well, no amount of film editing is going to take those memories away.
Just take the contents of the iPod mini, throw in the circuitry of a mobile phone, and put it into a regular iPod case. Make the phone only work with headphones/headset. Now you've bundled a phone in the same space as an iPod.
The iPhonePod would support iSync, which mean that the calendar and address book are automatically sync'ed along with music when it's docked.
Subsequent models can possibly add better input-level functionality to this device for full PDA-level replacement, but I'd take this now. I have my Palm Pilot. I have my cell phone. And I want to get an iPod. But I want just one device.
roger that. Except, in this case, we're talking about the Mexican Air Force. I'm sure they ruled out artillery from one of the other branches.
Except that it can't really ever be ruled out. Maybe there was some classified excercise the that lower-level members of the Mexican Air Force weren't privy to. Maybe the US military was doing something that only a few high-ranking Mexican military officers knew about. Maybe the US military was doing some testing illegally. Who knows? Any military is large enough to be a bureacracy, and will frequently have a left hand that has no idea what the right hand is up to at any given moment...
One also has to wonder why in the world they are still refusing to offer the The Animated Series on DVD, forcing one to buy the bootlegs if you want to get your hands on a copy.
Huh? Wait a minute. Are you saying that if someone won't sell a [insert electronic media here], one is *forced* to buy bootlegs? Couldn't we do what we've done before, and either wait for it to be sold, or simply do without?
With an attitude like that, it's no wonder why the RIAA/MPAA/etc thinks the way they do.
I am also 32, and I've also been using computers since the Apple ][ days, and I've found that regular excercise that uses my hands (basketball, baseball, throwing a football around) is invaluable. Having a 9 year old son who is active in sports helps a ton, too.
Put it in quotes like you did there. That gives exact searches (for me anyway). i.e. in the search box write
"Ted-Bear"
including the quotes. Hell just click here
Wrong.
The dash (-) in "Ted-Bear" is dropped from the search. You get the same exact results from searching for "Ted,Bear" as you get for "Ted-Bear". And as far the original poster's question, I don't think you can make Google perform punctuation-specific searches.
but tell me, how many such monumental achievements will people remember 100 years from now?
Well, I don't know. Think about to what you remember from studying history, and try to recall events from 1904. Anything spring to mind? Within that era, I guess I think of the invention of the airplane (I know, I know, not exactly in 1904). It was just before WWI. That's all that comes to mind, initially.
Who do we really remember after 100 years? If you're really important, maybe you'll have a statue built of you, or a library or school or a museum exhibit named after you. After 200 years? Half a millenium?
I loved the trilogy, I watched the Oscars, and I was extremely happy for all of the awards ROTK won, but it's difficult to think that 100 years from now that this will be anything more than a footnote in history.
This is the first Oscars show I've watched in ten years or so. I actually cared, this time, who won Best Picture. And fortunately, it turned out to the be the only nominated move I actually saw in the theatre. Most excellent.
Almost let's me forgive ABC for not having another night of Alias:).

Nah, all the best threads were in alt.flame. There was some true poetry written there. And trolls were welcome!

A meeting between Stallman and Bush (in my mind, Stallman is played by Horatio Sanz, and Bush by Will Ferrell).
STALLMAN: ... It's the GPL
BUSH: GPL? Who are the GeePeople? I don't understand
STALLMAN: They're not people. The GPL is a license.
BUSH: I have a license. It's for driving, but the secret service doesn't let me drive anymore. One time, I tried to drive my limo...
STALLMAN: That's great, Mr. President, but I'd like to get back to the issue on software...
BUSH: Soft where? Soft there? (points to his crotch, and giggles)
STALLMAN: Mr. President...
BUSH: I'm sorry. I'm just so wound up. It's been a long term.
STALLMAN: You see, Microsoft's polcies...
BUSH: Microsoft? I know them. It let's me play Solitaire. Dick thinks it's a waste of time, but he's only jealous of my skillz (giggles).
STALLMAN: Can I leave now?
"Whereabouts" when the speaker meant "where".
