I used to live up that way and we used to go throw a frisbee around down by the river. The standing joke was that if the frisbee went in the river, let it go. It'd disolve in an hour or so anyway.
No, it's not that bad. I think I'd be more worried about the sewage dumped in from upstream than any organic solvents.
If you think that you can walk in off the street to interview for T-W's CTO position, I want some of what you're smoking. If they haven't heard of you before, they won't give you the time of day.
However since it is graphics info and not plain ascii, it takes a clever hacker to actually decode what you are sending in the clear.
Provided that you define clever hacker as someone who can't read the VNC protocol docs. If you're sniffing the packets off the wire, it's not that hard to hack a VNC client that decodes the protocol and displays the screens.
It's not even that hard to harvest keystrokes, since those are sent to the server unencrypted. Use ssh tunneling for VNC whenever possible. When not possible, seriously consider not using it at all.
I'd just accept him throwing lightning and plagues at his "followers" who maim, kill, and enslave in the name of universal love and brotherhood, personally.
Christianity would be a pretty decent religion if it were somehow purged of 98.5% of those who call themselves "Christian."
Scrappy has nothing to do with it. It's just at a different point in its development curve, analogous to where Linux was a few years ago. Apple could still drop the ball, but if they keep putting effort into it, it could turn out pretty well.
Also, they could could start to borrow. They could grab something like XFS and port it to Darwin. I'm sure that they and SGI could come to an understanding about the licensing.
FARC had a ban on drug growing for years, with the right-wing paramilitaries making money from the drug growing.
Puh-lease. And I bet you think their shit doesn't stink, either:
But then the FARC discovered drugs, not consuming them, which is prohibited in the rebel ranks, but taxing them BBC News
"The narcos brought the paramilitary because they didn't like the FARC controlling the market," Salon link
And that's leaving out links from obviously biased sites like the DEA or the Washington Times. Both sides in Columbia are inextricably tied up in the drug trade. They have to be, it's the only way they can fund their fighters. War crimes are expensive.
You know, with a bit of search and replace, almost all of your arguments would have applied to Linux when it was at the same stage of development (say four or five years ago.) In fact, I heard some of my Unix using colleagues use those arguments for sticking with HP/UX, Tru64, and even SCO. Give Apple a little bit of time.
So he predicted Unisys, The Next Generation, and Carly followed his advice? Considering how borked HomPaq is right now, that's hardly a glowing recommendation. (See today's WSJ, the cartridge business is carrying HP, and the remanufacturers are starting to eat into that cash cow).
Bzzzt. Thank you for playing. Energia (which isn't even being built anymore) didn't even have the throw-weight of an Saturn V, and it's the biggest rocket the Russians have ever successfully launched. Compared to the Saturn, it's an Estes kit. It can't put the mass into LEO that the Saturn put into Translunar orbit.
Energia:LEO Payload: 34,000 kg. to: 200 km Orbit. Liftoff Thrust: 1,633,160 kgf. Total Mass: 1,022,800 kg. Core Diameter: 7.7 m. Total Length: 24.0 m. Flyaway Unit Cost $: 80.00 million. in 1985 unit dollars.
Saturn V: LEO Payload: 118,000 kg. to: 185 km Orbit. at: 28.0 degrees. Payload: 47,000 kg. to a: Translunar trajectory. Liftoff Thrust: 3,440,310 kgf. Total Mass: 3,038,500 kg. Core Diameter: 10.1 m. Total Length: 102.0 m. Development Cost $: 7,439.60 million. in 1966 average dollars. Launch Price $: 431.00 million. in 1967 price dollars.
Most newspapers have salaried photographers. They also make heavy use of freelancers. The salaried guys and gals often do lose the rights to their photos, depending on the contract. The salaried folks are often the ones who are just starting out, so they don't have much leverage yet.
I'm getting this info directly from an employee of The Washington Post, so I've got a feeling it's pretty reliable.
Not if it's work-for-hire, which is a better equivalent of what's going on here. The same is actually true for some photographers, although that means putting them on salary instead of contract, and most employers don't want to incur that expense.
At least in the US, giving legal advice on a message board post, without meeting the client in person and discussing the matter in detail, would be considered legal malpractice. Why do you think all of those lawyer shows have such extensive disclaimers?
What we're trying to do here is make sure the questioner gets the advice he needs. If you need legal advice, you must seek out a lawyer. Any advice beyond that that you receive here is exactly worth what you paid for it.
I can see the next Ask Slashdot question:
I have this lump on the right side of my abdomen, it's painful, and I'm running a 101.5 F degree fever. Should I take an Asprin or a Tylenol?
Except that one of it's mates was used in the WTC rubble, which means that it's been used in at least one real search and rescue. (Actually closer to search and recovery, but that's not all that different.)
Due to a particularly bone-headed Supreme Court opinion, Corporations are legally individuals and entitled to all of the rights granted in the Constitution. To my way of thinking, that makes them liable for all of the responsibilities as well. This is why I get pissed when someone claims the corporate income tax is a double tax. If the corps are individuals in the eyes of the law, then they can file 1040s with the rest of us. I would gladly trade corporate taxes for binding limits on corporate campaign contributions along the lines of no tax = no contributions.
Uh, maybe because the robot was originally designed to find survivors in collapsed buildings and this pyramid thing was pretty much free publicity? (and a cakewalk for the bot).
From one of the articles:
Before the television broadcast, measuring apparatus on the robot, similar to those used to search for World Trade Center survivors, found the block was only 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) thick, encouraging the suggestion that it might in fact have been a door leading to another chamber or hidden treasures.
Of course if you use a secondary checking account only for debit purchases, you'd be OK. I have a couple of friends who do this. One account gets the direct deposit, and only has ATM rights. All of the normal bills are paid out of that account. When they absolutely have to use a Visa card (say to buy an airline ticket), they transfer the necessary funds into account 2 and then use the debit card.
OK, so I have weird friends. A low-limit credit card would be just as effective. Tell me something I didn't know already!
Yes, bacon grease is bad for you, if you chug a whole 20 oz bottle of it every day.
Great. I hope nobody from Frito-Lay's reading Slashdot. Otherwise, we may have a new snackfood phenomenon on our hands. If they'll market Pop-Rocks, they'll try anything.
Distribution costs have gone up. It costs more to ship things today than it did 10 years ago.
No, they haven't. The costs of distribution have dropped nearly to zero. That's what's giving the music industry (which is principally a distribution cartel) such fits.
Remember that the Internet is a distribution medium.
It's not the Illuminati directly. The RIAA is controlled by the Boy Sprouts, who are controlled by the Post Office, who, of course, are controlled by the Illuminati.
And as for/.? definitely controlled by the Discordians!

I agree, but history has also shown that the folks who push GNU/Linux aren't willing to listen to any counterarguments whatsoever.
My advice is to ignore the whole thing and hope they go looking for attention elsewhere.
