But calling it terrible? Something the author himself described in transcendant terms, as a new birth for the genre, and as justifying his life's work?
Yeah, but that guy did drugs, so his judgement's already suspect *runs for his life*
Mob rule is disastrous, because it is always possible, with four wolves and a sheep, to know the outcome of a vote on what's for dinner.
No, instead we are facing an attempt to force the other extreme warned against in Federalist #10
The second expedient is as impracticable, as the first would be unwise. As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed. As long as the connection subsists between his reason and his self-love, his opinions and his passions will have a reciprocal influence on each other; and the former will be objects to which the latter will attach themselves. The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests.
I wonder how much longer the Republican Party can survive with "purity tests" and "RINO hunting".
This particular editor allows me to also quickly increase the size of the text to something easily visible (which for me is 20pt or more) without any of these display-only factors impacting upon the printed document or actual file copy.
Looking at the Anandtech article you linked, it looks like they restrict OSX from choosing 2880x1800 because system elements aren't designed to be seen at that resolution. Games run at 2880x1800 just fine, you just have to squint to see the text (in the portal 2 screenshot) because they didn't design the text to scale in a DPI-aware manner. Letters that are 10 pixels tall are still 10 pixels tall even when those 10 pixels are half of the height as on a normal ~100dpi screen.
shouldn't there be a responsibility to make it just as easy to take one down?
It would be an interesting idea to try making a *chan where one click deletes any image or thread. See if there's anything at all left in there after a day.
Most likely it would quickly devolve to the exact same image being uploaded over and over and deleted immediately at an immense waste of bandwidth.
Any idea what that assumption is? The article says typecast error, but what the hell would you cast a signed int to that would be zero when the signed int was nonzero? Even if you cast it to unsigned, you'd still have a nonzero number for negative values.
Salting doesn't stop brute force crackers like JtR, it only stops attackers from using a rainbow table and/or discovering that two people have the same password.
The real lesson here is just because your password database is hashed (with or without salt) doesn't mean you should let just whoever download the thing.
The patent covers using the page the request was made from to decide what file you should get. The original patent was filed in the UK in April 1996 and discusses the HTTP protocol and the referrer address, but RFC 1945 was published a month later and defined the HTTP protocol (including the misspelling of referer). Perhaps this information was added to the US version of the patent when it was filed in March 1997.
This seems like something they could get a few bucks each out of the various blogs that forbid hotlinking by serving up goatse whenever the referer URL for a picture is some other site. But I guess they can get more than a few bucks out of Google and AOL, even if it's not really clear how they infringe on the patent.
My/etc/shadow on Debian 6.0 uses $6$ hashes (SHA-512) by default. Upgrading from an earlier debian will use the newer hash the next time you change your password.
LGPL provides a "just linking" exception and is used 99:1 instead of GPL for libraries because the GPL makes no exception for linking. If your code uses GPL code, your code must be GPL.
Generally the only people who write GPL libraries is the GNU Foundation itself, and even then they only do it when they think they have something so awesome people will adopt the GPL license to use it (like libreadline, which is).
I mean seriously, how do you ever even get out of bed in the morning?
I get out of bed just to sit here and tell people like you that the world really is out to get you, and that if you go into every interaction with the mindset that the other side wants to fuck you in the ass, you'll at least be prepared with the lube.
So someone else figured out how to wire two computers together, someone else figure out how to send datagrams over the wire but the US patented it... on the Internet!
It would take a fundamental, radical shift away from the First Amendment to "block it everywhere".
No it wouldn't, all it takes is 12 angry men (most likely angry old grannies once prosecutors are done with voir dire) to decide it's "obscene" and the supreme court says it's no longer protected speech.
Sorry, but your example is terrible. We already have other ways of creating companies (such as partnerships) and these companies can be sued just fine. The only thing corporations bring to the table is that mommy government protects the people involved from losing everything they own when they do billions of dollars of damages to the environment or sign a bunch of contracts that say they'll pay trillions of dollars to people if housing prices go down or they pay themselves big bonuses and forget to leave enough in the account to pay the bills.
In exchange for this protection we get to listen to a bunch of whiners cry about "double taxation" on the income that this "person" pays them.
I think he's talking about Rob Landley who had worked on Busybox before creating Toybox, which was apparently a replacement for Android's Apache-licensed busybox clone, rather than for busybox itself until recently.
I recall reading that he was upset because all of the lawsuits over busybox didn't add anything to busybox itself... few people using busybox had needed to modify it, so getting the source code released didn't really benefit anyone beyond enforcing GPL compliance.
Customers will complain their skype call or video is jittery. They don't care so much about background downloads.
But when their Vonage calls are always jittery while their Comcast/Xfinity calls work Just Fine, that's when things start to smell funny, with or without background downloads.
Slashdot Mirror
Is that how one should address the Lord Kelvin?
Pretty much. And then the government proved that they don't learn from history and started to hand out guns to Mexicans to see what they would do.
Yeah, but that guy did drugs, so his judgement's already suspect *runs for his life*

Yet another argument for separating them.

They wouldn't deliberatly add jitter - that would be legally problematic, and very embarassing if the policy were leaked.
Sort of like how everyone quit using Comcast after it was discovered they were using Sandvine to interfere with Lotus 123 users?

While some individual cop may decide to do that
How many "individual" cops does it take before it stops being "individual" and starts becoming systemic?

NAT only breaks broken applications
Such as everything that needs to receive a connection from the outside, like chat, games, etc.
Because whoever downloaded the database of hashes will probably ignore your request that they only check one password per second.
My /etc/shadow on Debian 6.0 uses $6$ hashes (SHA-512) by default. Upgrading from an earlier debian will use the newer hash the next time you change your password.
