and more Roku based solutions to be arriving soon, now that Roku has opened up the API. It's not exactly what you're asking for, for now you need actual downloaded files encoded in one of the several formats that Roku supports, but beyond that tiny hurdle, works like a champ!
You do realize that you don't have to be an administrator to tag articles as "stubs" (incomplete) or "cleanup" (not up to standards), don't you? I'm not an administrator and never want to be, and even as a non-admin I can recommend articles for deletion, start articles, tag and categorize them however I feel is best.
Are the only two games I think I've given up on. I got damn far on the HHGG, but was missing a piece of lint or something, and just couldn't stomach starting over. Similar deal with Starflight. I usually give up on a game when I realize that I'm going to have to do a whole lot of stuff I thought I'd already finished over again. In Starflight it was mining. I don't even want to think about the amount of hours I spent virtually mining in that game.
And before the iPod the most a person had paid for a portable music player for many years was around $50, and usually way less. Which probably explains why the iPod was such a monumental failure. The point is that using devices that have little in common with the iPhone for the purposes of setting the price is pretty useless.
Retains some sense of visual continuity with Today's Slashdot - This one is the real challenge I think. From the Slashdot 'Shade of Green' (#006666) to the curve on the upper left hand corner of the page & article headers, to the use of the Coliseo font, I really think that many of these design elements need to persist. You are welcome to ignore me of course. But I'm being totally up front about this point: the winning entry ought to echo the current design. How loud of an echo is up to you.
me: Basically, I just copied your existing design, then I compressed the images to cut down on bandwidth. And this racing stripe I feel is pretty sharp.
Because when a computer interface is done right, it can be far superior to a paper interface. It provides feedback, it can do large print, it can do multiple languages, and it can provide audio. There is no doubt that a computer can provide a great way to make voting easier. What computers aren't so great at is storing data. Paper will *always* be a better solution than any magnetic or optical storage medium you care to name. For those who argue otherwise, how many college notebooks do you still have and can still read vs. floppy disks. I graduated college '99 which means that I used 3 &1/2 diskettes, and not one damn one is still able to be read.
Good point, but an encumberance but libraries and patrons might be willing to put up with given the current assault on free speech. It's really not a big deal to say that the book you borrowed on such and such a date is overdue.
I've been thinking about how libraries could allow the anonymous borrowing of books, while still ensuring that the proper book is returned when it's due.
I would do it by using some combination of details about the book, like ISBN, page numbers, etc to create a UID for the book when it is checked out, and then when it is returned perform the same calculation to make sure it is the same book.
The important thing would be to make sure there existed nowhere a database of books and their IDs.
Is this flawed in some way? It seems like it would be pretty easy to implement, and the library themselves wouldn't know what book the borrower had.
I admit that no Halloween episode would have cracked my top 25, but to say that the bowling one is the worst episode invalidates any opinion you might ever hold concerning the Simpsons. Have you been watching the show for past several years? Hell, even if you only saw the commercials for many of the episodes of the past few seasons you'd know that they were virtually all worse than the Marge learns to bowl episode.
True Simpson's fans pray everyday that the show gets cancelled immediatly.
In order to use these links for the ISOs you'll need to boot up your MS box and get Shareaza, which is a gnucleus client (ad/spyware free). Then you can go to http://freshrpms.net/mirrors/psyche.html and add the http mirrors as a source for the magnet downloads. This is allowing me to download the ISOs from multiple sources as I speak, and it is constantly searching for new sources off of gnutella.
I agree that government sponsored software shouldn't be lisensed under the GPL, it should be opened to the public domain so that it can be used freely in open and closed source applications. If software is created using my tax dollars I want access to it unfettered even by the GPL.
Come in very handy for taking off dorm windows to put in window fans. They're these screwdriver heads that look like an inverted torx head. Just look up "securty bit" or "game bit"
I suppose the biggest problem is the size of the database that would be necessary to hold the high quality pictures necessary for accurate identification.
I suppose you're an idiot. The biggest problem is the vast complexity of the computations involved. Trying to compensate for lighting, eyewear, angle of face, these are the problems. Not the "size of the database"
Someone is DOSing them as we speak. At 13:05:06 EST They changed their WHOIS database record, presumable to sidestep the DNS, but it's out again. I don't have even the slightest amount of pity. According to this website http://www.petsforum.com/psw/ this guy sues as a hobby.

Wow, four stawmen in one post. Impressive even by slashdot standards.
Scientist comes up with potentially dangerous solution to problem that already has a safe solution.
uh huh. and the two are mutually exclusive.. because ... um ... they just are.
and only 50 of them are sitting around doing nothing all day? That's a hell of a lot better than most work places I've experienced.

Hey, they're already well on their way to completing their stated goals. From cam-autoid-eb002.pdf:

"It appears that these [consumer] concerns can be overcome by:
Responsibly and proactively communicating the Centre's work."
I'd say this is pretty effective "communicating" (albeit not very proactive of them)
