You don't need to specialize. When you can use a decent frigate, warp disruptor, web and MWD, you can tackle. Sure, you can specialize, if you want to, but even a T1 tackler with bad skills is a welcome addition to just about any fleet.
(For non-EVE people who might read this: frigate = small fast ship; warp disruptor = keeps an enemy ship from warping away; web = slows down an enemy ship; MWD = micro warp drive, boosts the ship speed by 500%; T1 = level 1 technology, not as good as T2)
You can fly a "tackler" in a couple of days (tackler is a ship that is designated to get in fast, hold an enemy ship for 10-20 seconds until the heavy ships get in, and then bail out). You can fly a decent mining ship in a couple of days. You can start doing effective trading in a few weeks. Production does take a bit longer to do effectively.
Based on the news here in Finland it sounds that ARC has licensed the use of the red cross to J&J with an exclusive contract. If that is the case, then J&J does have a case, based on your usual contract law.
If, however, J&J has "simply" registered the trademark, then they are probably up for a shock, as the 1st Geneva Convention, article 44 pretty much covers who and how the red cross can be used, and the J&J usage isn't listed. I do believe the US has ratified the 1st Geneva Convention.
"SQL injection is a real pain for web developers. You have to be very careful about checking user input." Say what? All you have to do is use parameters, not string catenation. Of course, checking the user input is good for other reasons but not for SQL injection attacks. Or are there web application frameworks which don't support parameterized SQL statements?
Why would Debian users and/or developers have to accept Ubuntu? Ubuntu doesn't have as many supported packages as Debian and it has far less supported architectures. I think there is room for both Ubuntu (providing easy-to-use distro with a limited set of supported packages) and Debian (trading easy-to-use for a larger set of supported packages and archs).
Well, obviously Stalin did not send enough troops to overrun Finnish defenses before the winter. AFAIK the Soviet army commanders asked for more troops but didn't get the reinforcements he wanted. And IMO had the winter been less severe the winter trained Finnish troops wouldn't have stood a chance against the mechanized Soviet army. Yes, the Finnish troops fought bravely (including both of my grandfathers and presumably both yours) but we were lucky not to lose. Part of that luck was of course the brilliance of the Finnish army in using tactics suitable for the harsh winter.
But this is just me, I'm just another Finn and definitely no WWII expert.
The Finnish communists have never had really good relations with the Soviet communists. This was true both before and after the war. I'm no expert in the Finnish political history but AFAIK the ideology of the Finnish communists was much more socialist inclined than the Soviet one.
More to the point, the current Finnish Left Wing party is actually entirely socialist, not communist at all. Back in the '80s they could still have been called communists but this hasn't been true for more than a decade.
The Finnish performance in WW2 was mainly due to four factors. One, Stalin didn't send enough troops to the Finnish front so the Finnish army wasn't completely overrun. Two, the winter '39-'40 was very cold, even by Finnish standards, so the Soviet mechanical advantage was lost. Three, the Finnish army was very good in the use of artillery. Four, defending your homeland gives you some extra boost compared to simply invading some other country. I don't think that the "quality of the soldiers" was that much different.
However, the recent studies have shown that most young Finnish people would jump to the arms if Finland were invaded, so I don't think this net addiction thing has any effect on that:)
The Debian Developers aim to provide three things to the users, IMO: security, ease of installation, ease of upgrading.
Security means that for the stable release the security team will provide timely updates for all known security issues. For unstable the security is provided by the DD responsible for the package - usually unstable versions are updated at the same time as the stable. For testing this does not apply at the moment, though. If the DD tags his updated version as "urgent", it will propagate to testing within two days, but I don't really have data as to how many developers do this. There have been intermittent ideas about having a separate security team for the testing, but these haven't really taken off.
Ease of installation means that you should always be able to say "apt-get install foobar" to get foobar package working in your system. In stable this is a must, in unstable sometimes this breaks.
Ease of upgrade means that you should be able to say "apt-get install foobar" when you know that foobar has been updated without having to worry about losing any of your existing configuration. This applies to all distributions, but of course in unstable you run a higher risk of encountering a bug which might cause your configuration data to be lost.
The ftp-masters are not entirely all-powerful. If the Debian Developers want to, they can elect an DPL who can then kick out the current ftp-masters team and replace them with other people.
I would guess the easiest way to do this is to get a Knoppix CD image, unpack it to disk and then boot from it, just like the source article describes.
Actually, this happened already in Finland. The police can request a court order to get location data for a phone identified with a suspect. In one case a court granted an order to release location data for all phones in a single cell during a certain time period, even though this is not allowed by law. This came up in a yearly report of such court orders.
Actually the Road Administration has already been videotaping and checking vehicle speeds at certain locations on major roads for years. I haven't heard of a single case where that data had leaked to the police.
And of course, beginning 1.1.2003 the use of mobile phones in cars while driving becomes illegal, hands-free system required.
A smart whitelist application should tag each outgoing message in such a way that a response to that mail is accepted either to the whitelist box or a graylist box.
I second this. I had LASIK two and a half years ago and my experience was similar to Johnboi's (ghosting for about a year). I had to take one day off from work for the surgery (one eye on Thursday morning, Thursday off, Friday working, second eye Friday afternoon) and I've had no problems since. Wouldn't go back for any price.
Unless you didn't notice, the world champions of 1998 didn't win a single game in this tournament. Who knows what will happen to Brazil in four years. A good change, IMO.
Why not? They do that in most parts of EU. It's called an Investigation into Prior Art or something and it is a mandatory part of the process of granting a patent. Of course, this results in less work for patent lawyers so I guess there is no way this would become a law in the US...
Umm, you can always create a modified version for your own use under the existing copyright laws. So the only way the restriction makes sense is that both conditions must be satisfied, ie. if you both create and distribute a modified version, you must let the LDP know. If you only distribute a modified version, there is no oblication to tell LDP anything.
I'm probably missing something obvious but I see no conflict between the Debian policy and old LDP license. The license grants the right to freely distribute the original and none of the restrictions it has for derived works conflict with the Debian policy.
"receiving the request reproduction code and the authorization code at the information manufacturing machine and reproducing in a
material object the information identified by the catalog code included in the request reproduction code in response to the
authorization code authorizing such reproduction."
Now, I too do believe that patents should be interpreted narrowly. In this part of the first claim the patent is applied only to such machines which reproduce the information on a material object. So the point of having the hard drive comprising an infringing object is invalid as the hard drive is part of the machine which should then do the reproduction. As I see it (I'm not a patent lawyer and more familiar with the Finnish patent law) this patent applies to on-the-spot CD, book, etc. reproduction.
Actually, over here in Europe the trucks have a manadatory tour-recording device which tracks the speed of the truck. This record can be used to prove that the driver was speeding, even though it's main use is to track the mandatory rests of the driver.
On top of this there exist systems which track the behaviour of the driver and rate his/her performance (I'm not going to advertise further as I work for a company which provides such solutions). It is of course a very small step from this to linking the GPS information and automatically deducting the speeding tickets from the driver's paycheck.
And yes, the automatic camera systems are in use at least in Finland and elsewhere in Europe, the law does however require that the driver is identified from the picture so it is not too difficult to fool that system if you want to.
True. They addressed issues that were not addressed beforehand and they were smart enough not to charge license fees (at first). Here we have a standards body working on a solution at the same time (with several possible solutions already figured out) so speed would be paramount for them. If Microsoft includes the new software in the new releases of Windows then they might have a chance, not otherwise.
