If the drivers are able to see the footage themselves, it may be a useful behaviour corrector. My employer equipped all the company cars with cameras a few months ago that trigger under high acceleration in any direction, after a number of insurance claims in a short space of time. For the first few days, I was triggering mine on average 3 times on my journey to/from work under braking and when cornering. Very quickly, my driving behaviour adapted, and now I trigger them maybe 3 times a week. These cameras are USB based though, so only people with physical access to the cars can view the videos. Still, some users voluntarily make their videos public.
There are various versions of UDF, with the earlier versions having good cross platform support, but generally read only, and the later versions having good read/write support, but have compatibility issues across platforms (especially when proprietary drivers on Windows from DVD authoring packages are involved - they generally only support one version with no backwards compatibility, and that version is often too recent to be supported by the Linux kernel drivers). My experience of this is from trying to share DVD-RAMs between my Windows and Linux PCs and the DVD video recorder I used to have (before I decided one of the Linux machines would do a better job).
I was thinking the same thing for video files. For Documents, the previous behaviour might have made some sense (even then, not for PDF), but for media files where simple lightweight viewers vs complex heavyweight editing programs are the norm, the new behaviour is much better.
Been there. The senior member I was handed over to asked me to leave after I questioned why he was chain smoking if his books held the answers to all my problems.
Thanks, I'm now starting to count the time since I studied statistics in decades rather than years, but its starting to come back to me. So the norm is to assume 3 standard deviations, not 1 for the estimate of error.
What does an "error of 3%" mean? Does it perhaps mean there is only a 50% chance (assuming normal distribution) that the proportion of filesharers in the total population is somewhere between 8.6% and 14.6%?
Really? I haven't managed to walk through these in the last three years or so without setting off the bell, and that is after removing my belt, shoes and wallet (they say it won't set it off, but it seems just the metal zipper on my trousers is enough these days).
The main reason you have to take your shoes off is that they have turned the metal detectors up to paranoid levels, and a lot of shoes have a small piece of spring steel in the sole to give it some rigidity.
And both of you seem to have missed the important first step before you can develop for iPhone using the official SDK: buy a new PC from Apple, because you won't be able to use the one you've already got. I thought the days of tying development tools to overpriced vendor supplied hardware were over, but apparently not.
It does redirect police resources though, as they no longer spend excessive amounts of time dealing with end-users and all the paperwork that goes with such an arrest. At least that was the reason cannabis possession was initially decriminalised in Brixton a few years back, followed by a reclassification nationwide in UK which was unfortunately reversed this year by politicians against the advice of their own advisors and police.
Not a bank, they don't have enough capital for that. But it is a regulated credit institution, which gives some protection, though less than before they moved to Luxembourg to take advantage of its more relaxed financial law. When they were UK based and the FSA decided they needed to be regulated, things were much better for their customers. Now I'm basically unable to use my Paypal account without registering my bank account with them, which I refuse to do due to past experience of many people I know who've had to deal with Paypal payment problems.
PayPal Europe is duly licensed as a Luxembourg credit institution in the sense of Article 2 of the law of 5 April 1993 on the financial sector as amended (hereinafter the "Law") and is under the prudential supervision of the Luxembourg supervisory authority, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier, with registered office in L-1150 Luxembourg.
Since the service provided by PayPal Europe is limited to E-money, which does not qualify as a deposit or an investment service in the sense of the Law, customers of PayPal Europe are not protected by the Luxembourg deposit guarantee schemes provided by the Association pour la Garantie des Dépôts Luxembourg (AGDL).
Basically the rule is that modern airliners are much less likely to crash than older airliners were. Until the recent Air France crash off Brazil, both A330 and B777 had never had a fatal crash, and had similar usage profiles (there are probably more B777s in service, but the A330 has been around a few years longer). A340 and A380 are also in that category, but there are much fewer of them in service. For short range, higher usage craft, the 737-NG range and A320 have about the same safety record (per miles flown/passengers carried), orders of magnitude better than the original 737. The company that designed the plane doesn't really make a difference at the end of the day.
It would be a foolish airline that looked at the B787 delays and thought they could avoid the problem by ordering A350s instead. It uses the same carbon fibre construction, and a quick look at the A380 timeline will tell you that Airbus is no more likely to make their 2013 target date than Boeing was to make 2010.
I don't know what this Capitol Crime is, it must be an American thing, but to rephrase the GP's point, there is no such thing as a Capital Crime in the UK.
but it looks like I'll now need a TLA to compete with Big Media
Distributed Version Control sounds like an interesting "method and apparatus for distributing Digital Albums". I think the entrenched competition from bittorrent might be difficult to overcome though.
It's just like people who think cats can't view things on a TV / monitor. I've seen cats chase mouse cursors but in general they don't care one bit because they know it's nothing good.
My cat suddenly attacked the TV once when a bird came on. After that, we realised that she spent a lot of time watching TV, but she never interacted with it again.
've had a cat learn how to open a door via the knob without being taught. But it doesn't have hands so after it awhile it realised it doesn't have a hope in hell and doesn't try again. She knew how to open the small refrigerator too but again didn't have the strength and gave up.
My cat also learned both of these, but she didn't give up - she rattled the door handle to let us know she wanted to come in, she must have decided it was more sophisticated than meowing. And when it was dinner time, she'd head for the fridge and start pawing it as soon as she caught our attention with her meowing. I think in both cases, she'd decided that since the dumb humans didn't understand her meowing perfectly, she'd try communicating on our terms.
Wrong. Each claim stands alone, that is why they always start with a basic all encompassing Claim 1, which probably wouldn't hold up under scrutiny, and refine it in later clauses to cover every special case they can think of. Usually at least some of the claims are mutually exclusive, so to create something that violated all of the claims at once would be impossible.
I'm 37, and I vaguely remember a teacher I had one year trying to teach us cursive and telling us that once we got into high school we'd have to write like that all the time or we'd fail all our courses. Being left handed, all I remember is having huge smudges across the page, and as soon as I got into high school they corrected that by telling me to write how I felt comfortable.
The profile of who is committing suicide tells the full story. In Western countries, it is overwhelmingly young (teenage to early twenties) males, followed by young females. This coincides with the most emotionally unstable period of most peoples lives. In Japan (and possibly other Asian cultures), the figures are overwhelmingly dominated by middle aged men - middle to senior management and politicians who are under a lot of pressure not to let their company or country down.
My thoughts exactly. Why is it that when I try and legitimately spend a largish amount (anything into 4 figures basically), the credit card company immediately phones me to check on it, and if I try to spend above my credit limit, they can block the purchase, but things like this are not caught?
Something similar happened to my brother once - a $10 fee for a replacement card somehow became $12 million, automatically debited from his bank account. It took 3 days to find someone at the bank with enough authority to reverse a transaction of that magnitude, and that was only after he'd gone to the local newspaper about it.

In keeping with the conventional naming scheme for storage devices; floppy disk, hard disk..., I propose that it should be called a pointy disk.

SNMP is overkill for a mousetrap, personally I use a simplified version of the protocol I cooked up myself, which I call SNAP.

Try gcc. It can compile for arm-wince targets too, and you won't need to jailbreak your device to use the results.

This is precisely why I love my trackball. You don't need a surface at all.

Get in line, I'm still waiting for that flying car that was promised in the 1960s.
