The site is only a tool for it's owner to excersise his/hir right of free speach.
Philips has a tradition of open standards, Compact Cassette, Compact Disk.
Their biggest failure was to NOT allow porn on the excelent Video 2000 system, the (then) vastly inferior VHS took the marked as a result.
but their safety must be our primary concern at this time. Apple is a very visible American company, and having a highly publicized event at this time would be irresponsible.
This is stupid, just what these terrorists want!
It's not them bringing society on its knees, it's stupid and cowardly decisions like this one of Steve Jobs that is causing the damage.
Security has never been tighter around air travel then right now.
I'm disgusted!
It doesn't take me by surprise at all, and I don't really blame him. International flights out of the US are going to be a little scary for a while since the past Tuesdays affairs.
You're a god damn yellow belly, there has never been strickter security around air travel and you chicken out!
There are good reasons to worry, both about the real threat of terrorist and criminal organisations and the abuse of power by the security agencies.
Have a look at privacy in Europe, we take it (especially on an official level but with the glaring exception of the UK) far more serious than the US of A.
Like in The Netherlands where there is an independent overseer on all aspects of data gathering.
Such a system is dearly needed in the US where government services/policies are too often only a slave of the government (party) of the day.
The independent privacy supervisor should be controlled by strict rules tied to the constitution and a congress-wide committee.
In the eyes of the average Dutchman there IS NO privacy in the US, companies and agencies can look into your E-mail, gather data on you and even sell it without any chance of recourse except the notoriously expensive American lawyers.
No religion I've heard of has ever condoned or even advocated this type of behaviour. (The attacks)
Most religions DO mention the possibility of this happening but it's generally contributed to The Devil. (He is a concept known to religion, not of religion)
For the religious, Christians or Muslims, people like the perpetrators of this attack are The Devil.
You are either trolling or plain stupid.
If he's made something worth a restrictive licence then the GPL is not in his way to sell it as a separate plug-in / module / application or whatever.
It's just that he should not make the GPL'ed kernel part of his 'invention' (or was it the other way around:-) ).
The fact this guy is keeping the source to himself is clearly and undeniably limiting the chances of others to contribute to- or build on this code and thus contributing to a greater whole.
Still a neat project and interesting to play with for someone from 'out of town' (Europe) The source(s) and limitations are stated on the site and any one knowing statistics knows aswell how to use this one.
The reviewer shows he is not exactly a computer expert with this statement:
Page 4. Features of the UltraLite
5. USB Port No.2: The second USB port on the UltraLite is useful for connecting the external CDROM/floppy, or perhaps an optical mouse. Windows 2000 is hot pluggable so the external devices can be connected, and removed while the system is still in operation.
Gosh, thanks for W2K, it makes that USB experience that much nicer.
The number of batteries has no meaning, these are small. What counts is the capacity; for the NEC 1800 + 2500 mAh = 4300 mAh against 5400 mAh for the Acer.
You can change out the big battery while the puter keeps running on the screen battery, a very nice feature!
Exactly, the State is not just the party that is in power, it is ALL its citisens.
So, that same state should not take decisions about what is good or bad for those citisen, they can surely do it for themself.
Public money is being spend, that means no single interrest group should have overriding influence.
And those that are using these public facilities are typically those that dont have private access, so demanding they pay for their own is plain silly, following that type of arguments you should close down all public services.
You're missing the point: as a site owner I set it up to convey MY message, nothing more.
If someone else links individual words to a search engine, THEIR search engine, they are most likely interfering with MY message.
I don't possibly see how rendering comes into this...
I fondly remember similar experiences here in Holland, since 1956 I live in the (then newly) reclaimed lands. When I wanted to take pics of the Hale Bopp comet a few years ago I noticed even in the remotest corner of our province darkness had vanished.
On an other note; the anti-liberal(=arrested development) that started this thread forgets there is no difference between polution and waste, waste is not what we (according to most religeons) were set in this world for.
I can from first hand experience agree with this.
When I was in (a Dutch) technical college in the early seventies, electronics/telecom dept., we were not allowed the use of a calculator.
One of the guys' dad had been on a trip to the US and brought home a Sinclair RPN calculator.
When it showed up at school the possibilities and the ease of use against the slide rule intrigued us.
But it was confiscated and a warning letter send to the guys parents to not let their boy use such dangerous tools, he'd grow up stupid this way....
Yet Boolean Algebra was a course item.
A few years later I joined an international company and I was the only one(!) that had never used a calculator, forget about a computer.
I've had a hard time catching up with those from other countries that were at more enlightened educational institutions.

The Joys of HDTV
·
· Score: 1
The European DMAC and D2MAC formats of more than 10 years ago were analog and even for direct satelite broadcasts they took too much expensive bandwith, even at standard resolution the widescreen took some 30% more.
It's been used in the Scandinavian countries and France for a bunch of subscription channels but never on a regular basis in HD, always just wide screen. Some HD tests were been run, especially during the Olympics. The main benefit was it had (in the beginning) a decent scrambling=subscription system.
But once that was cracked the last fun was out of it (for the companies).
The reason is to avoid waste, the Danes (and other European states) want you to use return systems = bottles. And Denmark being a corrupt place(!) the large breweries like Carlsberg and Tuborg have gotten an exemption for their products
BTW spelling: Uranium, Natrium/Sodium, Borium Aluminium, a system is not so bad to have.
You started off intelligently
And then you showed you are a moron or, I hope for the sake of your wife/mother/daughter, just a troll: I don't want to see adverts for tampons or other such things which a) mean nothing to me, and b) shouldn't be aired publicly anyway.

I second your motion!
It would be a bad world were only the bullies could set the rules.
You did not get it: It's just to prevent/resolve this type of conflict that the The Hague treaty was devised.
And there are plenty of lawyers specialising in "international conlict of law", no worry to were to put your money:-).
