Agreed on using DNS as a filter solution because it covers all Internet devices in the house (assuming they all use the same public IP address). OpenDNS is a great choice because it has a single filter console and is free for homes. Details of my setup are here: http://momjian.us/main/blogs/blog/2012.html#February_21_2012_2
The "Turnabout Intruder" (TOS episode 79) was the last filmed episode (though not the last broadcast). The episode ends with a down-beat Kirk/Spock/Scotty walking down the corridor. Was that down-beat ending chosen to reflect the sadness of the final episode? I know this was a long time ago, but I always wondered about this.
This parameter can be changed at any time; the behavior for any one transaction is determined by the setting in effect when it commits. It is therefore possible, and useful, to have some transactions commit synchronously and others asynchronously.
I wondered how Cold War spy devices recorded underwater cable traffic for six months without servicing. I now realize they were nuclear powered (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Ivy_Bells#History).
You can use a search engine to find a prostitute or drugs and other forms of illegal "entertainment"...
I think you are wrong on this point. It is called "conspiracy". Now, it might not be enforced, but it is illegal. Try putting out a sign advertizing a prostitute and see what happens.;-0
I looked back over the items for the past few days and they all look good, so perhaps the problem has been addressed and I just didn't notice.:-)
Anyway, the ones I remember were cases where the company or magazine name were linked to before the URL of the article. I don't mind the extra URLs as long as the news item is the first URL in the summary.
Sometimes I find there are so many links in the summary that I can't find the actual news item amid the many background links shown. Perhaps "article" isn't a bad tag after all. I know the editor is trying to help make the summary flow, but it would be helpful if you could glance at a summary and clearly see the link that prompted the item.
I rode in an elevator with him once in New York City during a 1975 Star Trek Convention. I remember someone mumbling "bridge" from the back of the elevator, and everyone cracked up.
When Microsoft and other big companies started getting hit with patents, I knew we would get some fixes to the patent system.
I was at the CCIA caucus in May when we talked about patents and their problems for open source, so I knew this legislation was coming. One new addition is the six months after infringement clause, which will help open source so we can fight only the patents that attack us, rather than all of them within the first nine months of issue.
Afilias uses PostgreSQL, so now we know who the Slashdot croud should be rooting for. See the last paragraph:

In fact there is a seminar at Afilias starting tomorrow to plan a new multi-master replication solution for PostgreSQL, so they are very involved with open source.
The problem with your need to call me names is that it undermines how your opinions are perceived. Perhaps you don't care and it makes you feel better, but it is the truth.
I am sure you are frustrated Bush is doing so well in the public opinion polls, but call people names doesn't change that or help Kerry in the least.

But you can set it at the transaction level:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/runtime-config-wal.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-WAL-SETTINGS
This parameter can be changed at any time; the behavior for any one transaction is determined by the setting in effect when it commits. It is therefore possible, and useful, to have some transactions commit synchronously and others asynchronously.
For Postgres, that would be synchronous_commit = off.
Usually when "plutonium" and "critical" are used together in the same sentence, it isn't good.

Are you sure it was an Asian company?

I wonder how they will define a newspaper. Will a web-only newspaper be tax-exempt? Will Slashdot be tax-exempt?
Yea, imagine this as a tagline, "removes non-free software that other distributions don't." I can see people lining up for that feature, NOT.
If only it was as easy as fixing the schools, it would have been done already.
What would have been funny is if they all wore red shirts in the picture:

Isn't it obvious that the acronym "VA" isn't good to use in a title? FYI, it stands for "U.S. Veteran's Administration".
I didn't realize either company was still around.

Yes, it is a confirmed bug. Perhaps they will fix it after the election. :-(
