It would be interesting to repeat that today with wines grown in other parts of the world included. In my (humble and not educated) opinion the Australian and Chilean wines are often superior to the Californian and French ones — they are usually cheaper which counts for a lot even if they taste much the same!
Light from one area could never reach another. Why is this a problem? Because they are remarkably similar. They appear to have come into thermal equilibrium (same temperature) yet this shouldn't be possible if they were never in contact. So we need to have a method by which the universe expanded faster before this period.
Maybe they have the same temperature because they were made/subject-to a similar environment, simply because they shared a similar history and so changed in similar ways.
Alternatively they could have been entangled (quantum spooky action at a distance), although the high energies would probably have broken entanglement, but maybe things were different back then.
So does this mean that the Oz immigration people will, when looking for drugs/...., also search your iPhone to see if you are bringing in an unclassified game ?
Will that also apply to someone bringing in a Linux install CD that may have some games on it ?
Merrill said he was forced to lie when asked about John Doe or simply refused to answer.
It is moraly corrupt to put someone into the position of having to lie. It does seem to be accepted however — that is why wikileaks is such a great idea.
Seems like a good reason for a repository of open source apps for android, these can be built by an independent team - ie not the author. Then, hopefully, 'many eyeballs' would spot issues such as this.
OK: there is still an opportunity for new apps, or recent 'urgent' patches, to do evil before they have been looked at, but the risk is greatly reduced.
The problem is how to decide who can & who does not consent to tracking. What they suggest is something
similar to the Do-Not-Call registry
— which means that you need to identify exactly who you are so that the web site knows not to track you. Most trackers currently do not know who you are, just that you have visited some set of web sites. <irony>That will, of course, not be abused by anyone.</irony>
So their suggested cure is worse than the current disease.
Having a database of users is also heavily bureauocratic & sooner of later that list will get stolen.
A much simpler mechanism is to have a new HTTP header, eg Tracking with values of yes or no. True anonymity, not hard for the browser vendors to implement, light weight.
OK: it will be ignored, but so could the Do-Not-Call registry. Enforcement was always going to be the issue, does the FTC realise that the first letter of www stands for World, ie it has no legal right to control all of it ?
The only way to pay Ryan Air is via some sort of card. Ryan Air charge £5 for each time that you fly, even if you pay only once (ie buy a return ticket). A typical rates that Ryan Air would be charged by the credit card company: £10 would pay for a return ticket costing £350+ - this is much more than the typical cost of such a return flight. The fees charged for a debit card will be something like 40p -- yet they still charge £5 each way.
They charge for everything they can - I now refuse to travel with them.
One change that they introduced some months back was a charge on credit card use. Because they have to offer one form of card payment without charge (a UK or EU law) they chose a card that almost no one uses -- a prepaid card that costs some £15 a year and a 50p transaction charge. It is all about grabbing as much money from their customers through hard to avoid extra charges so that they can make decietful adverts claiming to be cheapest.
Here is a letter that I wrote to the Editor of the Times a few weeks ago.
Since then I have bought The Guardian/Observer.
=======
I do not often visit The Times web site, I prefer the paper version.
I do mainly if I want to share an article with a friend or few, some item of common
interest. Something that has the side effect of introducing non Times readers
to The Times.
I notice that I can no longer do that, it will cost me & my friends to be able
to share such things. As a result, after 35 years, I will change newspaper; I will
no longer buy your paper copy - probably going for the Guardian or Independent.
This paywall is a bad idea, the only way that I can adapt to it is to change
which newspaper I read. Your foolish action will cost you. I give you permission to
email me (once) when you reverse this policy; however I expect that, by then, I will
be happy with my new newspaper.
Who do you think works for the corporations? Answer: The taxpayers.
Yes, but which taxpayers will benefit: Afghani or USA ones ?
The wealth should be for the Afghanis, not the western powers who will now try to put in ''development teams'' -- who, in reality, will try to get as much of the profits into western coffers.

Craig Venter can now generate lots of DNA sequences all different and new, it must surely make them very happy to be able to cheaply fill their database.
You say that you started the project before you went to work to the employer, it was GPL at that point. He cannot change the license for the code that existed at that point. Due to the nature of the GPL: new code that is added will also have to be GPL, ergo the whole thing is GPL.
What does your contract of employment say ? Does it say anything about copyright ? Did you read it before you signed ?
Do you want to continue to work for someone who attempts to steal your property ?
It is one thing to have something that is labeled ''source code to the product'' and to be sure that this is exactly what was used, eg no little extra ''tweak'' hidden in a system macro that leaves a security back door. If they are serious about this they will insist on compiling the source on one of their machines and check that it matches the binary that is shipped with the product.
All of this is a lot of work and will take a lot of time, who is going to pay for it ?
If they don't recompile it then the suspicion must be that they are more interested in getting/ripping-off the technology that doing a security audit.

Fun and games at Oz airports!
Still, it is a pain to have to do & think about. Gimp has an exif option, I have not used it.
Shhh! Don't give him ideas!

They have probably existed for millions of years — what is new is that they are newly known to mankind.
OK: a few might be new as a result of recent collisions, but most are old.

We should be safe unless the director of the facility has a white cat, is surrounded by beautiful girls, has a tank of sharks for visitors, ....
So, that means (if I did the math right) that it takes about 2046 LOC to equal just one VL. Crazy!
Its willy waving, Pope Benedict XVI (aka Ratzinger) just wants to show that he has a bigger one than Barack Obama.
