Did you miss the part where Russian intelligence intercepted the emails to be released? Yes I know it's called the FSB now but indications are that many of the same personnel and methods are still in play.
You're a True Believer if you think "revealing corruption" is the only criteria they'll use in selecting what to publish.
It's a little disconcerting about how eager both Trump and Sanders followers are to have a combative foreign power interfere with US politics at the highest levels though literal KGP espionage, as long as it might make Hillary look bad. This is worse than the GOP sending letters trying to stop the Iran nuclear deal. I think we have to go back to the Tory Loyalists to find this scale of anti-American glee.
The victim the concert was fundraising for was the child of another member of Keef's gang, who was killed as an opposing gang fled after shooting and killing Keef's crewman Cato. The city were very concerned the concert would turn into a gang shoot-out. This isn't about censorship of violent lyrics (although it's a "poster child" case), it's about preventing the imminent incitement of violence. Judge the situation as you will, just take into account it wasn't lyrical censorship.
To be sure that our object-oriented software will perform properly, we need a systematic approach to specifying and implementing object-oriented software elements and their relations in a software system. This article introduces such a method, known as Design by Contract. Under the Design by Contract theory, a software system is viewed as a set of communicating components whose interaction is based on precisely defined specifications of the mutual obligations -- contracts.
The benefits of Design by Contract include the following:
A better understanding of the object-oriented method and, more generally, of software construction.
A systematic approach to building bug-free object-oriented systems.
An effective framework for debugging, testing and, more generally, quality assurance.
A method for documenting software components.
Better understanding and control of the inheritance mechanism.
A technique for dealing with abnormal cases, leading to a safe and effective language construct for exception handling.
The VCs invested their cash knowing that the major draw to the product was illegal copying. Be glad this is just a civil suit; "conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor" is a felony offense.
Programmers work at a tactical level. They are supplied specifications and produce a product to meet them. They are skilled labor, akin to tailors and masons.
Engineers engineer. They understand the problem better than the customer, and are consequently relied on to help form the basic goals of the project itself. Engineers, working at a strategic level, could also excel in business or government if technology didn't have the best toys.
Why is.web such a sought-after extension? If you're in a browser, of COURSE you're connecting to a web site; tacking on a.web doesn't demystify things any more than a.com does. Outside a browser, it doesn't make much obvious sense to email folks at a.web, so there's no point there either.
If folks consider this some ultra-elite domain extension reserved for companies whose main business is their web site, then I still disagree with its inception unless we also get.tennisball,.harddrive,.femininenapkin, etc
During the past few months I've seen a lot of Debian bug report replies contain statements along the lines of "I'll address this once Potato goes stable". Now developers will have more time to focus on the woody distribution. (btw, you guys rock!)
I'm also glad to see the old stable distro (slink) slide off the stack.
Say -- if any of my vested stocks turn a fabulous profit, might I be able to rent Douglas Adams for a day? Would such an arrangement be sliding scale? For instance, $50,000 could buy me an evening of dinner and polite chuckling at my stupid jokes, but for a cool $million Douglas would follow me around all day dressed as a Vogon guard, loudly insisting that anyone who failed to recognize my Supreme Rule be tossed out the closest airlock.
A few characters (including Zaphod and Marvin) had spin-off adventures or songs written around them. What other characters might have deserved more attention, life, or merchandising opportunities?
Did you ever toy with the idea of intersecting your different fiction universes? Say, Dirk Gently , while investigating some particularly strange case, stumbles across the Mice, or the Vogons, or one of the Heart of Gold adventurers.
There are a gazillion more existing feeds out there on Real than QuickTime. I'm not going to debate the technical or social superiority of either client or server; for me and my box, it boils down to how many feeds I can tune into.
(well, to tell the truth, x11amp [now xmms for some godawful reason] is the client I use the most, sucking down shoutcast and icecast feeds)
only problem is, where I go to school, BIG FREAKIN HILL
I'd think hills would be the fun bit. Catch a bus in, then at the end of the day inflate your ride home. The adreneline rush would be great for destressing.
Google has been the Netscape browser's 'built-in' search engine for months, meaning this is where you wind up when you type "? some words" in the URL bar. Moving out of so-called "beta" is nothing more than a ploy to get some free press.
Come to think of it, the search is poorly implemented. Typing in a "?" query results in four DNS lookups and redirects, by my count: first keyword.netscape.com, then search..., then info..., and finally google.netscape.com; then before the page draws you must wait for the top ad banner lookups as well.
Netscape would do well to rethink some of their basic user interface functionality from the actual user's point of view.
We've done events using Boa on a PII 233 and gotten great results. Boa serializes connections rather than forking off multiple processes, so the RAM requirements were a tiny fraction of what Apache (though I love it to death) would require under the same hits-per-second load. For our purposes, 64 meg was plenty.
The web daemon will be reading files from cache repeatedly, not building content on the fly, so a 233 may be overkill.
If you're broadcasting a "live" (1+ second refresh) show, you can improve efficiency a bit more by encoding the JPGs on another system (even a win95 box) and ftp-ing them to the web server automatically. This is how most adult streaming sites work.
With all the "foul" language in/. comments, I can only assume this site is blocked by at least some of the filterware. Can anyone verify this is true for any packages in particular?
Now's a good time to check out the alternatives, namely Icecast, a free project under very active development which provides a Shoutcast-compatible streaming MP3 server, encoding client, directory server, live interaction tools, and more. My experiences with Icecast have been very productive -- IMO, it provides a much greater level of flexibility than the proprietary flavors (surprise, surprise)
Now if someone would just roll out a decent MP3 streaming client for Mac so I can ditch all these Real servers...
