But what's the point ?
Being identifiable under a name which would look like this ?
Valid I-Name formats
I-names are designed to be as simple and human-friendly as possible. Global personal i-names start with an "=" sign followed by a string of characters (no spaces.) You can use letters, digits, dots ("."), and dashes ("-"), but you can't start or end with punctuation. I-names are not case-sensitive, i.e., "a" and "A" are equivalent.
Note that although dots are not required (i.e., you could register "=MarySmith"), the standard practice will be to separate real names with dots, just as it has become with email addresses.
Kenyan ecologist Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, today reiterated her claim that the AIDS virus was a deliberately created biological agent.
"Some say that AIDS came from the monkeys, and I doubt that because we have been living with monkeys (since) time immemorial, others say it was a curse from God, but I say it cannot be that.
"Us black people are dying more than any other people in this planet," Ms Maathai told a press conference in Nairobi a day after winning the prize for her work in human rights and reversing deforestation across Africa.
"It's true that there are some people who create agents to wipe out other people. If there were no such people, we could have not have invaded Iraq," she said.
"We invaded Iraq because we believed that Saddam Hussein had made, or was in the process of creating agents of biological warfare," said Ms Maathai.
"In fact it (the HIV virus) is created by a scientist for biological warfare," she added.
"Why has there been so much secrecy about AIDS? When you ask where did the virus come from, it raises a lot of flags. That makes me suspicious," Ms Maathai said.
Africa accounts for 25 million out of the estimated 38 million across the world infected with HIV, and the vast majority of infected Africans are women, according to UNAIDS estimates.
The United States on Friday congratulated Ms Maathai on winning the Nobel Peace Prize, but tempered its praise over her claims about AIDS.
"She said (HIV/AIDS) was invented as a bio-weapon in some laboratory in the West," a senior State Department official said.
"We don't agree with that."
The official pointed to a report of those comments published in August in Kenya's daily Standard newspaper, in which Ms Maathai was quoted as saying that HIV/AIDS was created by scientists for the purpose of mass extermination.
Does it still require the MFC to be compiled ? If this is the case I then fail to see the interest of this especially when it requires an Xbox and then Micorsoft to gain alittle money from the operation. Geek factor > Open Source interest.
Reminds me of a Calvin&Hobbes strip where Clavin is in a perspectiveless world. BTW, you can also play on the camera's limitations and move it while it's still busy catching the pic... some kind of artistical fuzz... When you take some colorful lights, you always get funny results after equalizing the whole pic with your favourite pic processing soft.
It's interesting to see that people finally wanted to try to obtain from their hardware what they'd usually expect Photoshop filters to do. I am for example very happy with my Motorola v550 cell phone camera which takes the trashiest but also most colorful nunrealistic photos.
I don't think the parent was off topic : this is Slashdot and there are trolls who may profit from this open Wiki page so, be sure there will be many flavoured submissions, including the goatse, tubgirl, lemon party, GNAA manifestoes... It's a serious question and even if it could be seen as either frightening or funny, I do NOT think it's off topic.
I did... 5 years as a sysadmin. And when I see how many Sun Servers were replaced by Linux boxes, I guess it's Linux that's killing Solaris by forcing Sun to Open Source it.
Exactly, when I was in California, there were many signs like "speed limit enforced by AWAC surveillance" on the streets so I would not dare to say that people are not used to be monitored in others countries. BTW I also heard many stories about London's video cameras, so stop being hypocryte if there's one thing we can reproach to the Chinese in this very case it is that they were not the first to use this level of technology to enforce trheir regulations.
Think business : if it force people to buy more hardware/software license from vendors, then they might make it happen because they'll earn money from it anyway.
What if they force the Internet provider to wipe any file that is not signed by them and thus prevent these p2p networks to be used for Free contents ? As a provider of such files, I think I'd have a problem because I want my Free files to circulate freely so they'd better have a good sniffer.
The same applies for a smartcard, doesn't it ? And I thinka fingerprint could withstand the consequences of the EMP effect (if not, this means the user has been terminated so it's not a tragedy either... erm... ok, this is).
OSX only and I love UT2004... hope I finish it before Doom 3 hit the shelves. I don't know Half life and I am not sure I am itnerested as I prefer knowing in advance how long a game will occupy me.
The price is an issue, indeed but also the fact that it works perfectly this way and they don't plan to make safer something that's already the safest they could rework.
Don't worry about the Swiss, they sure know how to fix stuff.
But if IIRC, this SP adds a popup killer, and a personal software firewall (and some bugfixes along with side effects). So I understand the reason why most of the big Swiss companiesI am working with decided to stay on Windows 2000 (with ActiveX and VBScript deactivated).

It's just a pity that this book is 1 year late.
Now, it's a book about Tiger (10.4) that we'd need.
They should at least give people this option : pay extra buck for no intrusive ads.
I personally refuse to have a tv set, there's so much to be done.
I indeed would not imagine Cameron Diaz in the main role ;-)

If it's like Windows, it'll shortly be updated to GPL v3.1, then to GPL95.
how many ie users have switched to sp2 ,yet ?

So, years ago, Bill Gates proclaimed the software was better, now he gets back to some hardware key...
But what about biometrics ?

You need windows to run it, so he's waiting until it can be emerged or apt-gotten other his Linux installation :-)
this one for this reason...
Forgot your grammar lessons ?
let's analyse the sentence, mmmkay ?
The fact there is
Which name contains the word "Excel"
makes it more famous.
So, tell me how this was not making any sense ?
Unless you meant to be pedantic, of course...
