I'd rather go for the 30" (2560-by-1600) version, myself. Then I can watch an obscenely high resolution TV programme AND keep working on a very large spreadsheet at the same time:)
Check again. A weapon of mass destruction relates more to the delivery method than the actual weapon. A missile which released billions of anthrax spores into the air over a major city would be a weapon of mass destruction. A hypodermic needle containing anthrax spores which could be injected into a person would not.
we have found some just not the huge stockpiles everyone expected.
It's news to me that we've found ONE "weapon of mass destruction" in Iraq, let alone "some". Did I miss a meeting?
Wouldn't Bush, Blair and the rest of the coalition be screaming this from the top of their lungs by now? I mean, we've found mobile labs... only they weren't. We've found a shell (which is a battlefield munition, not a WMD), we've found a couple of drums which had some sort of chemical residue which was initially claimed to be WMD... only that sort of fell by the wayside...
Well, if this book is going to have its errors corrected, the page count will probably diminish a little. I look forward to reading the corrected "Brown Book"...
Or the "Brown Pamphlet" as it will more accurately be known:)
"In the long run, I believe that we must find better mechanisms to ensure that our most vulnerable citizens--our children--are not being constantly tempted to infringe the copyrights..."
Yes, and the best way to make sure little Billy doesn't become a mean ol' evil pirate is to have the DOJ prosecute his ass the moment he downloads Barney's latest hit...:)
(Not that people who listen to Barney's latest hit shouldn't be prosecuted, obviously... but for different reasons, damnit!)
Hey! Where are the pretty pictures?

Wow. That website certainly brought back memories of 1995. No doctype, no ALT tags, badly implemented graphics, ropey background, underlined text that isn't a link (in blue, even!), frontpage rollovers...
"don't forget the dash" - eh?
I assume the webdesigner is the sheriff's young nephew or something...
The 3.2 release is missing something ...

I've just looked at the announcement on kde.org, and something which should be there in large neon letters seems missing...
Yep, I did read the story carefully. As to ad-blocking preventing users from seeing images from other sites, I'm not sure this is the case. Ad-blocking seems to work on searching on keystrings within the HTML. For example, a partial listing of my "defaults" contains:
There doesn't appear to be a general ban on images from sites other than the main domain in ad blocking itself, and certainly no way to re-enable/disable such a feature.
Could this ban on non-site images be another feature of Internet Security/Personal Firewall, other than ad-blocking, for example to prevent webbugs? I can't find anything in the manual's index, but it wouldn't surprise me...
Slashdot Mirror
Truly, AC's are the SCOurge of Slashdot.
And this has to do with the stability of the democratic system in place within the UK ... how?
Genuine question, not baiting anyone, but ...
What is the basis for declaring "The United States is known as being the world's most stable democracy"?
AFAIK, The United Kingdom is just as stable. If not more so.
"Surprised, anyone?"
No. Nobody is surprised. And that includes SCO.
I'd rather go for the 30" (2560-by-1600) version, myself. Then I can watch an obscenely high resolution TV programme AND keep working on a very large spreadsheet at the same time :)
So ... when's the 23" and 30" versions coming out, then? :)
It does? It's always looked fine to me...
Conceivably I am just lucky.
I for one am looking forward to the day I can buy a disc with all of Star Trek, ST:TNG, ST:DS9, ST: VOY and Enterprise on it.
:)
Though I suspect the Enterprise section may never have to fear wear and tear
Nope, it's not just you. It looks like a Deep Space Nine/Voyager shirt ... and with that display, you could put your own insignia on it :)
Um ... it's cute and all... but it's absolutely nothing like Orac.
And I bet it's not got the original annoyingly condescending voice, either. Can't have Orac without that!

A battlefield munition doesn't count as a WMD.

In the 1960's, yes. Now, no, not really
Tell that to Unisys. Their mainframes (at least the ones I have to use) still have their 36 bit architecture, hence a 9 bit byte. Unusual? Yep.
"In the long run, I believe that we must find better mechanisms to ensure that our most vulnerable citizens--our children--are not being constantly tempted to infringe the copyrights..."

What, no screenshots? :)
and has an experimental wireless LAN that allows anybody who comes aboard to simply plug in their laptop
Hmm. Yep, radical new development in wireless right there...

where are the lovely, lovely screenshots?
(Yes, I AM kidding)
That means the lower court's decision will stand, at least until another eventual appeal takes the case to Norway's supreme court
Is it likely that this case will be appealled, or will the prosecution finally realize they're not backing a winner?
Where are they now? Probably still writing the same uninformed magazine articles...
Now, if you can find a way to make a genuine 2D laptop, THEN I'd be impressed.
There's always usenet...
