It's in cinemas today where I live, according to the posters plastered all over the bus stops. Did I wake up in the alternate universe where the US cinematic release is AFTER Europe, or is that date wrong?
If being GPL is a problem for a piece of government code, there's still no problem with a module being of a different license. The modules are not part of the Drupal distribution.
There's fortunately a religious holiday of some sort these days, so outside gang-rapes and train derails, there aren't any serious news worth reporting on. Look back a little, and you'll agree this is better than the year of OMGPONIES;)
Yeah, Americans would *never* find a remote location to round up people they don't like, lock them up, keep them from seeing the light of day and torture them to get a terrorist confession out of them. It would never happen. The US is too nice for that.
But why should we ever wait for the computer to pop up some indicator that it is doing some I/O, and what sort? One of the most common things I see people frustrated with is that the cursor goes into hourglass mode (and the program not updating its display) without knowing why. They yell that the computer is slow, and want a new one. The old one might not even be loaded with malware, and the program they were using keeps doing it on the new computer.
Like others have suggested, something like Apple's GCD would help. Any self-contained task which can be split off into its own thread will, with very little code around it. Fork off that document opening, and return to the main program showing a list of tasks it initiated.
I guess the hands-off approach is necessary when you have tens of thousands of servers rented out for cheap. When some IPs have been tainted, there should be more pressure on the server owners to get rid of the bad users and get them off the lists.
I've had some customer sites with Hostnine, who use ThePlanet servers. It's pretty bad, because you have no choice of IPs. You'll get a random IP from the location you choose (a few US locations, Singapore, England), and it's a lottery. Most people don't win. Mail being sent from it doesn't reach some places, only rarely making it as far as the spam folder. They are in the process of fixing this now, due to massive customer complaints. But I get the impression H9 are struggling to get the IPs off the lists, while ThePlanet aren't really doing much.
Now I'm with Hetzner, and I've fortunately got clean IPs. Due to the way I select customers (it's only a side-business, or friend service) I'm safe from spammers on the inside. Now to keep the usual hackers off my sites (thanks, fail2ban):)
Most of the apps on my iPod touch start up nearly instantaneously (the worst still not taking more than 3 seconds to actually make things happen on the screen). It's slightly faster than an iPhone 3G and has the better 133MHz bus, but still it isn't that much more. 3GS devices are MUCH faster, and start even heavier apps instantly.
Still, some multitasking would be interesting. Since most apps are geared towards one purpose (they are all more like widgets) it would be nice to have both IRC and IM apps, as well as Skype, you could switch between.
That should cover automatic banning of repeat offenders. It works by reading logs, so it can work with many services. You could for example make it block all those attempting to exploit your CMSes.
The Norwegian TLD has no privacy option - if you want to use the.no domain, you need valid contact details. There is no option for individuals, as you have to register a company to be allowed to buy.no domains anyway. That's why I recommend.com/.net/.org addresses for everyone (or some other TLD which isn't too suspicious-looking;), since domain privacy is now part of the price anyway.
RPM, says Intel. Can't find a link, but there is much gnashing of teeth over that at work here. I would prefer to keep the repository apt, at the very least. But apt+dpkg would be lovely.
PayPal works with my non-US bank account. Can't use Google to sell UK goods in the UK, receive money in a UK bank account and never send the annoying tax forms to the US.
Did you really think this was retarded? I didn't think it was retarded. Besides, as probably 50 other posters have pointed out, this had nothing to do with screen or not to screen a program! In fact, your reply could be construed as retarded.
I write in PHP, among lots of other languages. I'm not a hater. I'm also interested in this project for renting out space to PHP-based projects. Higher density per server = less costs:)
But where's the code? My calendar says "Wednesday", and I was sure this was a Tuesday announcement. Github search turns up nothing. How long does it take to upload 300k lines of code? Getting impatient here;)
Some touch screens are pressure sensitive, others are contact sensitive (like the iPhone). That's why there is such a huge difference. I would assume this layer isn't pressure sensitive, as that would need some sort of mechanism BEHIND a soft screen.
It's not the iPhone (see the enormous credits section on a device sometime!) and it's not the Xbox 360 (Xiph.org gets a mention more often than Fraunhofer). It's probably not illegal to have weird requirements, and I would love to know what company this is so I could milk them for money, since they clearly think like Dilbert's boss.

It was an issue with their EULA;

There's a discussion here: http://drupal.org/node/30708

How does Norway manage 6 days of delivery then? The mountains in the middle certainly haven't impacted the postal service.
I laughed. But I am not entirely full of hate.

My fans spin up playing *windowed* Flash video. Adobe aren't even trying on OS X.

Actually you could. If the Last.fm app lets you, that is. You can call up the iPod library in any app since OS 3.0.
You can't download snacks.

You're not thinking big enough - I'd airdrop hookers. Some companies do approve of such expenses for people in the field, so why not the military?

People usually add some music/lyrics of their own over sampled sounds, too. Does the book have layered text on top of each page? ;)

The alternative suggested is US only. PayPal works everywhere, which is why people use them.
Is Google Checkout available to European users *and* merchants? At least one of the two was unavailable last time I tried to sign up.

This is a good thing - it means the paranoid can run Keychain Access, pick CNNIC from the System Roots list and select to globally not trust it.
