The Goatse.cx web site has been closed, not because people actually found its contents to be offensive, but because a link to Dolphinsex.org which is present on its front page..CX NICmaster explained some wildlife law forbid the promotion of activities which could be harmful. I personally think this is an overreaction and may cause a dangerous precedent. Of course,.CX is under.AU law but as a Lawyer, what do you think of the world such decisions are about to create ?
I first expected it to be some kind of super Zaurus but no... it just seems to be some bigger Vaio C1xx. Now, I do not see who they want to sell this to if this at least present no consistency with the rest of their offer.
They are going to use TabletPC's for this, something Linux has somewhat limited support for, particularly in the handwriting recognition aspect. Have you ever used a Sharp Zaurus/Qtopia ? The handwriting recog. is the best I ever saw. Better than Palm and winCE, IMHO. So, how is this limited ? You mean you don't want to use Qt ?
I first thought it was related to the way CDR manufacturers can now propose >800MB discs, by using some redundancy check space for storage use. Now, above comments mentions some Norton Ghost use that trick the fat (as in "file allocation table, not as in msfat) in order to make it see more sectors as usual. Am I right or is there definitely something "that matters" in this article ?
Really, all those awards are for the entire trillogy. The three movies are an Epic.
The Music award in a non musical movie ? Come on ! "Les Triplettes", with their unforgettable djangoistic tunes desserved it too.
It was well directed, of course, the pictures and the effects were cool, but Pirates was also wonderfully done and I personally thought Mystic River picture had some identity and authenticity that LOTR's didn't have (did you notice this white sky ? as if the celluloid got over-exposed in order for the picture to reveal the tiniest detail... THIS was impressive).
"Les Triplettes de Belleville" desserved the "Best Anime" more than "Nemo" : They were indeed 100% original. The Oscars are rigged : LOTR sure desserved something but not all.
but i guess the main point is not absolute security but to make copying as hard as possible until joe sixpack just doesnt care to copy but instead just buys it.
When I was using an Acorn RiscPC, I used to pay for my softs, then I switched to PC and, because of the volume of this mass market, I suddenly became reluctant to pay such amounts of money for buggy software, then I switched to Linux, then to OSX where I began paying for software. The moral of this story is that I think if you want people to purchase your product, you have to act with them as if they were worthy customers, not as if they were just a mass market supposed to inflate your statistics. DRM will fail because windows users are pissed off to be treated anonymously and believe me, like a hundred million monkeys coding on a hundred millions windows, they'll end up finding the flaw that will demonstrate how impossible it is to implement a definitely 100% secure DRM system.
(Note that the 100% security may come from ever-changing security schemes)
I'd gladly overpay for this feature if I may also overpay for bluetooth connectivity : unless they make tiny phones with huge keyboards, I'd prefer typing my address on my powerbook and then syncing it to my phone:)
Actually, you are correct, I guess that the "Freedom Warriors" actually use this kind of mental control to convince their fighters to suicide bomb... Since the Middle Ages when they were called the "Haschischins". So, are the US Army people trying to reinvent the "Assassins" ?
BTW, it's funny they introduced this technology this way as I sooner view many movies, video games where were supposed to prevent the bad guys to turn innocent people into "functional fighting machines".
I own a forum on top of which I put a robots.txt file which is supposed to STOP any spider from visiting it. I however find my post while googling for words they also contain. How can one explicitely forbid Google from indexing a site ?
My wife developed 2 web sites which never got indexed even though we submitted these using Google's interface. As they might not be linked, I suppose Google just considers that if nobody mentions a site, then the site should not be registered as existing ? Do Google think it actually is the web ?
Here, at work, I have to 19" SyncMaster 800 TFT side by side. I use one for some typical OpenView monitoring app while using the other for all my work which is 99% terminal based... I just do not see the interest in having 2 but well, they gave these to me.
Well, the story submitter would have been less error inducing by titling it "Scientists claimed they cloned human cells". It is too "sensational" and biaised the way it is submitted.
I am still using Phoenix 0.5 from which I am currently typing this reply. I almost switched to Firebird 0.6 but proxy incompatibilities just made me revert to Phoenix.
It is actually damn fast and compatible with 100% of the sites I visit, hence my question: What do I miss ?

Here's a cheap one...
Mind you, it might not fit your home.
I can't but smile at the irony of modding the above "redundant", I could explkain why but I guess the beauty of it resides in its subtility :)
GNUArt gallery : Free music and whatever..

I don't, I own a laptop and I plan to keep using a cheap pair of markers to obtain the bichromy this will not get me.
Does it show Greedo shooting ?

Because you somehow found out a correlation with this...
And/Or maybe with this...

No.
People may come to it but it should not be searchable.
I am talking about a site which I do not want to see linked, a private forum I share with French-speaking friends :)
I however find my post while googling for words they also contain.

Sorry, I'll keep using Altavista.

Which says a lot about michael's editorial talent...

Use it to demonstrate how you can use a remotely mounted disk to simultaneously record/play a zillion-tracks Logic-or Pro Sound project.
We're in 2004, even Skoda has begun to make attractively priced and featured cars.
What about James Gosling, then ?
I personally missed Chuck.
He is the most impressive of them all.
