It seems like something like this comes up every few months and seems to be vaporware.
According to the article, the vehicle has begun road tests in the city of Cardiff, Wales.
Hmm...seems pretty tangible to me. Anyway, your tone suggests that you think it's a car that drives around on normal highways. Not so. The vehicle's web site is worth clicking on.
make all elections 100% publicly funded (I believe that england does this and each candidate can only spend something like 10,000 pounds), ban any political advertizing by any non candidate which mentions, depicts or hints where a particlar candidate or party stands on an issue.
And then we'll have relatively unknown people with $10,000 going up against already-elected, well known politicians with $10,000. People who vote without knowing the issues (and there are a lot of them) will vote for the person they've heard of. Tenure is the key, then. These politicians already in office also have the media's ear.
Turnover would be stifled. That's bad.
The real push behind campaign finance reform is the television news media. If it happens, they'll have the most control over public opinion. Liberals here love it, because the television news media usually sides with them.
Someone else said it before - the best way to reform campaigns is to reduce the power of the federal government. Controlling the money just shifts the power from one big entity to another.
Wouldn't he have to target civilians then? Wouldn't his prime goal have to be to terrorize? An organized rebellion really is a lot different from a terrorist organization.
You're rather fond of something that's not true. You might consider changing it.
How is this different from a couple's child being gestated in a surrogate mother's womb?
Spoken like a truly inexperienced person. You don't have children, do you?
Find a nice lady. Get married. Have a child. Be amazed at the difference between the child's relationship with his mother and his relationship with you.
The bonding between mother and child starts at the moment that the child starts to respond to stimuli. That's very, very early. Depriving children of that in the name of comfort would be amazingly stupid.
And no more amazing, nearly supernatural link between mother and child. Good idea.
While I know my daughter just loves me and our relationship is great, there's a bond between her and "Mommy" that we'll never have. Depriving a child of that is already terrible. The less it happens, the better.
Read this again: In the current version of the runtime, unsafe is defined at an assembly level, so having any unsafe code in assembly makes the entire assembly unsafe.
Assembly level. Therefore also opcode level. The bare instructions themselves are either inherently unsafe or marked as unsafe. It's not something in the executable header.
It's not too difficult to imagine an instruction set like that.
You must not be a serious gamer then. Serious Quake 3 players play with no AA, bilinear filtering, low geometric detail, evil texture quality (r_picmip 16), vertex lighting, and 640x480 resolution.
Temporary, and Congress has the responsibility tightening things up to make it so.
We had a 'peace dividend,' now we have the largest military budget.
Larger than what? Than we have before? Than other countries? Specify.
We had a strong economy, now a recession.
ALAN GREENSPAN has more control over this than Bush. Bush can't take credit for any change in the economy, and neither can Clinton. Besides - the U.S. economy is HUGE, it's got lots of MOMENTUM - and so it's hard to turn. That means that the indications were visible years ago, and that the current economy is due to factors even before THEN.
We had a fair tax system, now a tax system favoring the rich.
In all my life, the tax system has never favored the rich.
We had an 'Alaska,' now we have a 'Drilled Alaska.'
Oh, please. What would you have us do - keep buying from terrorist-supporting nations? That's where most of our trouble comes from: trying to keep them happy enough to not bomb us. No, it didn't work, so we need to become more independent. Besides, most Alaskans favor drilling in that pristine wilderness that nobody's seen a properly representative photo of - just lovely trees. It's not like that.
We had a blow job scandal, now we have a 'jobs' and billions of $ scandal.
The scandal is manufactured. It's weak. Politicians get contributions, and all of the sudden they can do no right. Help out? "They bought help from the government!" Not help? Gee, I actually can't think of a good representative quote. Maybe it's because you haven't a leg to stand on, and your only clear agenda is to manufacture a scandal.
Oh, I've got one: "Clinton had a scandal! Bush has to have one too!"
We had liberties, now we have virtually none.
So your home is a jail, everything you say is censored, and you can't even travel without some official-looking person ASKING YOU QUESTIONS. Time to post on Slashdot, the only remaining Fortress of Free Speech anywhere in the United States.
I've written an FTP server, and it actually wasn't that hard. Granted, it was for a specific purpose so I left some of it out...
My two main objections with FTP itself: 1) plaintext passwords; and 2) a separate data connection, whether it's passive or active.
Passive data transfers work well if the client is behind a firewall. If the server is behind one (like in the DMZ, DNAT'ed or otherwise), active is better. Passive transfers will just hang unless the firewall is smart enough to snoop the control connection.
I'd go for either rsync over ssh (as has been suggested) or even HTTP before FTP.

Especially when it's got ethernet cables sticking out of its eyes.
That's GOT to be cute, right?
I think I'm gonna send you an email right now, and by extension, steal something from you.
Hmm. French "humor." Can't say I ever cared for it enough to remove the quotes from around it...
Speaking of "dot bomb," I've got a suggestion for ICANN on a new TLD.

Just imagine. . . newfangledsolutions.bomb. . . pointclick.bomb. . . amazon.bomb. .

This is what I come to Slashdot for. Thanks!

You're completely forgetting intent. We do everything we can to not kill innocent civilians. You can't say the same about terrorists.
In law and in life, intent means everything when pronouncing judgment. Expand your mind, please.
Wouldn't he have to target civilians then? Wouldn't his prime goal have to be to terrorize? An organized rebellion really is a lot different from a terrorist organization.
You're rather fond of something that's not true. You might consider changing it.
The mother's feelings for the unborn child living inside her can't be mimicked. That's a side of the bond I think we're forgetting here.

You can NEVER go below 125FPS. NEVER.
We had peace, now war.
I don't think Bush asked for that.

I think this is the part where we start talking about telephone sanitizers...
I want to see two robots go in, and only one come out.
That's all you want to see? How boring.
So the plural of "practice" isn't "practii?"
My world is shattered. Thank you very much.
I must mention that the Grammar Fascist nearly threw up when he read that.
So what would *l33t-swedish* look like?
B0rk b0rk b0rk!
Why in the heck would you want one of those? You could put one together yourself for 1/2 - 3/5 the cost.
The computer I want is almost always $1400, because I can build the darn thing myself.
Minimal installation? Ooooh...n33t. I never thought of putting Mandrake on my firewall before now.
Any reason this is moderated as a troll? The guy's not making up the output. You can't use new as an identifier in C++, since it's a reserved word.
