Is there a decent F/OSS grammar checker? Seems like an important project. I guess a probabilistic approach which could be trained for various different languages would work best.
>The footage, shot in early 2004, featured Josh Hartnett and Marley Shelton acting out the "Sin City" short-story "The Customer is Always Right"
It is said that you can actually watch three minutes of that footage here:
This are NOT the Sin City trailer from Apple and various other pages, its a trailer that got shown at Comiccon last year, and got pulled from all webpages VERY fast after. Its 3 min of "The Customer is always Right", the short movie Rodriguez made to convince Miller to let him make the movie, and then 3 min more of various clips.
>So that's why they were so sure to find stuff, they put it there!
Well, the fun part is that they actually did not find the stuff they were looking for (specified to the court), and IIRC, they didn't even find the servers they were looking for.
Sorry about the speeling, but when I get excited I can't write worth a damned.
Anyhow, I should explain the "million SEK" thing. It appears, from recent reports, that APB escrowed a sum in conjunction with applying for the search warrant:
"Antipiratbyrån, Stim, Universal Music, EMI Music och Sony Music har deponerat 1 miljon kronor hos tingsrätten för eventuella skadeståndskrav från Bahnhof."
It says that they escrowed one million Swedish Kronor in preparation for an eventual suit for damages from Bahnhof, for being shut down.
What this boils down to is that this might have been an outright "Public Relations" buy-in from APBs side. They're prepared to go get flimsy warrant (basically just making some stuff up if they need too), hype their "bust" to the media (this is their payoff) and shut down a company for a day, simply because they can afford the downside!
And don't kid yourself, the money for damages is coming from people who still buy products from Sony, Universal and the rest.
I'm sure this will all end up the same old discussion all over again, but this case with Bahnhof actually goes beyond "piracy", it's a question of judicial security.
What seems to have happened is this; APB (these are an umbrella org. for Sony and the other big giants) went to a court to get a warrant to search against Bahnhof. They listed the material they were after; Lisa Miskovsky, Kylie, Peter Jöback, Rebecka Törnqvist, Santana, The Ark, Totta Näslund(!!) and Ulf Lundell were some of the artists they mentioned. Anyhow...
They went in, shut the company down for the whole day (no one was allowed to use their computers for the rest of the day -- you can imagine how easy it is to run an ISP when you're not allowed to touch a computer) and found, they say, nothing of the material they used to get their warrant. Nothing!
Now, they did find other material, which they tipped off the police about (seeing as that would have to become a criminal case) the servers.
Now the question is; is it now basically acceptable to lie or just make up material for the search warrant? Should a consortium of large companies be allowed to put a million SEK in escrow, and then shut down another company while looking for anything illegal?
I don't think I've adequatly expressed all the problems (and known details) here, but this is big.
Swedes should look here (JO-anmälan) and here ("Piratjaktens Faror -- Om balansen mellan personlig integritet, rättssäkerhet och upphovsrätt")
I'm glad rebates of that kind doesn't exist over here. Here rebates are pretty much unheard of besides for groceries, and those are handled directly at the checkout, no mail-that-in-later stuff.
Doesn't take a genius to figure out that all that handling just makes it more expensive for the customers in the end.
Don't give me that old fallacy. I know what virtualization software can do and what it's useful for, and I never said or insinuated that I did not. I wasn't asking "What is?", I was asking "Why?".
Specifically, what I'm questioning is the tuple <desktop os, virtualization software>
Now, if Fedora and SuSe Professional are considered to be primarily server OSen, then I stand corrected. If not, I still question the significance of this as a news event.
(. "Tomorrow: Fedora Core and SuSe Professional to ship with Valgrind 2.4 -- Amazing new tool now available to desktop users everywhere!".)
Let's just drop it, I'm not out to get into a flame-fest over this.
The ability to replay the execution of a virtual machine is useful in many ways besides intrusion analysis. For example, it enables one to replay and debug any portion of a prior execution. We have built an extension to gdb that uses virtual-machine replay to provide the illusion of time travel. In particular, we provide the ability to do reverse debugging, though commands such as reverse watchpoint and reverse breakpoint. graph. See our paper in USENIX 2005 for details.

Actually, that doesn't qualify as a theory. But you knew that?

That's just dumb. For starters, you could limit the "true back button" to non-SSL-pages. I assume no sane bank is running plain http? Sounds more like sites are afraid something will break if the user is able to backtrack in the history.
That I can go back quickly is one of the reasons I run Opera, although unfortunately the the feature has deteriorated a little lately (a reload is initiated much more often now than any time before)
Why? I once saw a webpage that did this using only javascript. A simple page reload would give you updated arrays of images which your browser then loaded over and over and over again to exhaust the spamvertized sites bandwidth.

No... didn't Rachel Bilson already practice this part?

Maybe Public Citizen can look into it.
Some of the same reasons that Jews don't join Neo-Nazi organizations simply because they're efficient.

Alright, I'm sorry. I was under the impression that the US, with the exception of one or two states, didn't have sales tax (VAT).
>I mean, why can't they just add the bloody thing to the prices
Don't know what countries you're thinking about, but I'm in Sweden, and the price must be stated including tax -- that's the law.
The only exception is in business-to-business transactions.
>and when you spend about 5 minutes finding out which money is which
Are you talking about the euro, or what?

Alright, I should just have RTFA:
Ahh... yes... It's all so very clear to me now.
Looking forward to be able to do a number of useful tasks and wield new abilities.
Simple question. ("normal users").

Don't be a dumbass.
I saw that Miranda had been ripped off for (at least) a second time.
Going to all that trouble just to rip people off and install spyware. It's fucking sad.

I guess to point is to waste millions and millions on a stillborn project, 'cause at least then "we're doing something".
Hey, beats lowering prices, eh?
No, that's not the one. It predated the Spray screensaver but doesn't exist any more AFAIC.

Sure., the latest of which seems to be this one.
Duh. I know. Focus on the words "flexible" and "fill out".
Sheeesh. If I have to lay out everything I already know every time I post, I'd never get anything done.
