As an Extra Class license holder, I sincerely hope this doesn't get approved. Yes, it's restricted to only emergency communications, but allowing encrypted transmissions at/all/ means that any of them could be from non-licensed individuals, and brings into question legitimate uses of the airwaves. Leave our airwaves open!
Until the first person needs to call 911 with their newly bricked phone because their house is burning down because of the thermite charge they just set off in their washing machine.
No owner or operator of a restaurant in this state shall use salt in any form in the preparation of any food for consumption by customers of such restaurant, including food prepared to be consumed on the premises of such restaurant or off of such premises.
Great tool that pools the resources of multiple servers to proactively block IPs that are trying to brute-force the SSH port on any server in the pool:
I haven't tested it thoroughly, so I don't know how much of the VI command set it implements, but Komodo IDE has a 'vi' mode, and I believe it would fulfill your other requirements as well. (As a plus, it's fully cross platform, so you can use it everywhere)
See, I worked as a microsoft support tech for a while shortly after the release of Windows ME. A dark period in my career, I'll admit. But aside from a few nice troubleshooting tools (msconfig FTMFW), ME sucked beyond belief.
Troubleshooting Step 1: Reboot. If that solved the problem, we told the customer it was fixed, and to call back if it happened again. Really.
And at least once a day, I would determine that a machine was beyond recovery, and we would FFR it. (Fdisk, Format, Reinstall). And my experiences were pretty standard, from what I heard around me on the support floor. People who had transferred to the ME support team from 9X complained about how buggy and poorly designed ME was.
*shudders* So... no. ME was not the best of the 9x line. Arguably, 98SE was the best, although some people preferred 95.
Also, the article completely messes up the history of 2000 / 9X / ME. 2000 was/NOT/ the hybrid of 9X and NT. 2000 was the end of the NT line, and a damn fine OS. I ran it for many years, until my last CD bit the dust, and I grudgingly updated to XP.
Michael Waddoups should be put in jail. You do have a point here, but I'll go one better. He previously supported Jack's bill, but now because Jack is exercising his right of free speech, however annoyingly, Michael is not going to support the bill. This is not commercial, and it is only unsolicited in the sense that they did not expect it. But of all people lawmakers should be accepting input on pending legislation. Claiming this is SPAM is clearly abuse of the laws they made, and they should know better. Utah State Senate President should absolutely know better.
You're missing one key fact: This legislation is NOT pending! It was already passed and vetoed.
He also sent a letter to Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick's attorney, addressed to Zelnick's mother, in which Thompson accused her son of "doing everything he possibly can to sell as many copies of GTA: IV to teen boys in the United States, a country in which your son claims you raised him to be a 'a Boy Scout'.... More like the Hitler Youth, I would say."
Wait... he triggered Godwin's Law? No wonder he's having all these problems!
I can attest to the simultaneous failure weakness of RAID 5. I've only dealt with two different arrays... but they've both suffered simultaneous failure of 2+ drives in the array. It sucks.
Luckily, the second time, I had/good/ backups to another server, and was able to recover. The first time, we had to use data recovery specialists.
Spore is a game that only works well with downloadable content, and if I have to enter a validation code every time the game decides to download a creature or a planet, I'm not sure the promising gameplay will be worth the hassle. Who said anything about entering a validation code? All it does is take the serial number and machine ID that it generated and both of which are stored internally, and phone home, to make sure that the central server still says they're okay.
I've been using the nightly builds for a couple weeks now, and they're flagged as beta 5... I figured beta 4 had been out for a while already.
For what it's worth: I'm very impressed with what I'm seeing of Firefox 3 so far. It's faster, uses less memory, and I really like the new address bar features, and the bookmarking. (It has tagging built into the bookmarks now.)
You act like they've 'violated' this over and over again... there's only been one major revision since 3.0 (Which was over 10 years after AD&D 2E, by the way), and if you discount 3.5, they're now 8 years from the release of 3rd edition.
So basically, one violation that they say they regret. I completely ignored 3.5 when it came out. I don't own a single 3.5 rulebook, and none of the people I play with do either. But I'm curious about 4th edition, and I'm certainly going to give it a good look, and possibly update my rulebooks.
A variation on the Dead Badger Linux instructions would probably work for getting Linux running on a carnivorous plant. The real question is... does this count as green computing?
I'm a PHP/MySQL developer, and I get asked to sign those on a regular basis. I sign them, and then forget about them.
To be a bit more thorough in my answer, I have never flagrantly violated such an agreement. It's usually not that hard to find work for another company that isn't a direct competitor. Plus, (IANAL) I've heard that those sorts of contracts are mostly unenforceable. I could be wrong about that though, which is why I try to avoid flagrant disregard for the non-compete.
$_GET is not a function, first of all. It's an array, containing the contents of the GET request. And it is quite clearly labeled as being the GET request. ANYONE who knows ANYTHING about security knows that you treat it with extreme caution. Want it always escaped? magic_quotes_gpc is your ticket. With that turned on, any value that comes in from GET, POST, or Cookies will be escaped with addslashes().
Want a different escaping method? Turn off magic_quotes_gpc, and in your codebase, filter them yourself before your code does anything with them.
Me? I leave them alone, and escape them on use, as necessary in the given situation. mysql_real_escape_string() is a godsend when used properly. (I almost always wrap it in the much shorter and easier to type my_escape() function myself.)
To get back to the question from the article: Is it the languages fault? Well... maybe a little. Things could certainly improve. But by and large, it's people doing Dumb Things. People have been doing dumb things for decades with computers. They will continue to do them for decades.

Base pi, obviously. Then the ratio works out to 1.
Are we sure they weren't just hosted on Bluehost?
Even so, I'm leery of this. I'm reasonably confident the FCC won't approve the proposal, so I'm not really worried. Just being watchful.

Definitely up and running, although people say it's been a little inconsistent.
I just asked the folks at QRZ if anyone can confirm this. Hopefully someone there has good gear for checking on it.
Here's the wording from the bill:
No owner or operator of a restaurant in this state shall use salt in any form in the preparation of any food for consumption by customers of such restaurant, including food prepared to be consumed on the premises of such restaurant or off of such premises.
Seems pretty clear to me.

That's slandering Lewinski, not Office.

... Um. Wow. Just wow.

What do you do to stop the octopi from stealing the coconuts to live in?
Except the modifier 'either' implies XOR, not OR, so:
For A being false and B true
A XOR B = true
For A being true and B false
A XOR B = true
And for A being true and B true
A XOR B = false

Actually, that's only 38 times higher per capita. Not that I think that's /good/ mind you.
But let's compare violent crime rates, period.
The US is only 3.9 times higher per capita there, using recent figures for population and violent crime rate.
Gun control is /hardly/ the only variation between the two countries, so how confident are you that it's the deciding factor?
