Right. Not seeing the issue is what I'm saying. Who cares? Who would get a patent for such a silly thing anyway? If the encoding is only compatible with MS products, how much will it matter anyway?
This is true. I know the parent was talking about 14 and 15 year olds, but a 9 year old (4th grade) is a little different.
That said, in my school district, kids started screwing around with each other in fruition in 6th grade, so you know that there are kids intentionally messing around with each other in 4th.
Of course, there's a big difference between a college guy coming home and hooking up with a girl who he grew up with, and an adult trolling the playgrounds.
It's a rather sad commentary on the/. crowd when I read a story about how someone MIGHT be helping sexually abused children by releasing pictures with the children editted out... and the comment board is, in the earliests posts, mostly filled with comments joking about getting the originals.
An interesting question arises though. How did they know that it was all the same scene? What if the kid was abducted, or moved around?

As a fellow Linux user, I must also state that the fact that PDFs cause FireFox to fail so upsets me greatly. My department of computer science uses PDFs quite a bit (ie, I'm downloading papers) and FireFox freezes.
It's a real conversation starter if an MS supporter is nearby.
I am so going to build a computer in a Gatorade bottle (didn't we do one in an office water bottle not too long ago?), put it on a site with AdSense, post it to/., and fund my education with the hits.
It's not that there's anything fundamentally wrong with UML, but UML seems to be the lowest common denominator used when slinging around bullshit.
Hey, if you don't want to learn how to program, but you want to tell a bunch of programmers what to do, learn how to draw squares with arrows off of them and tell those no good programmers what to do anyway!
Goodness, this is a bigger flame-war than I ever intended. One of the first posts in this mess was a guy calling me a moron for thinking of elucidate as a funny word to use in the place it was used.
Somehow it found it's way onto my Amazon wishlist a few years ago (I don't remember putting it there)
Everyone put it on their wishlist after/. linked to the PBS documentary, which was hands down one of the most entertaining and informative that I ever watched.
Ahh, it's so much more clear to me now that they've elusiwhatevered it. Choosing obscure words like elucidate over simpler words like explain or clarify really does help to ameliorate the burden of learning difficult material.
I've never done this before, so take it with a grain of salt, but Active Directory can act as a kerberos ticket server, and therefore should be able to work with anything that uses kerberos.
Having never set up Linux to use kerberos either, I couldn't tell you what packages are available to do this, but I would imagine that they do exist.
The point is this. CF memory is more expensive that hard drives, so if you fill your CF card, you can dump it to this and keep going.
So, if you have a usb card reader, and this thing, and you're shooting video on a 1 gig CF card, you can then dump that gig to this, and keep going with your video. That way, if you're on vacation, you have a nice little enclosure to carry, instead of a notebook, and you can piece the bits together when you get home.
Not a lot of use if you're carrying a notebook anyway, but if you're a tourist sort in a particular tax bracket, you can get plenty of mileage out of something akin to this.
My bet is that the terminology used here will be used in future decisions by defendants justifying that their email is not spam because it conforms to the guidelines.

Perhaps I'm a bit out to sea on this one...
Storage-wise, ASCII is certainly not more compact than a float.
Display-wise, this is a foreign format, that human readers will not want to read.
So, lets say that MS gets this patent... who cares? There are certainly more dangerous things in the world to patent than this.
I think that the point of the parent was that you wouldn't have to sexually abuse a kid to get the "art."

All day, I've been wanting to crack into a bottle of Sake I got in my stocking.
I read that, and cracked into it.
Cheers!

And my birthday.
There's that terrible grammar of mine again.

It was really meant to be a joke.
Eh, I feel that I did .

I hope so, or I'll be broke until I die when I get out of school.

Did anybody else notice that theres a very small chance that it will neither hit nor miss Earth?

Impact Probability:
99.000000000% chance of Earth impact
or
1 in 1.0 chance
or
0.99999999% chance the asteroid will miss the Earth
