Yes, hard to say which one though. The jury obviously thought it was the cop 'throwing personal responsibility by the wayside'; the nytimes seems to think it was the other guy. I really doubt the nytimes has a better take on this than the jury; but 'meathead beats and frames ex-con' won't sell many papers....
And a pimped civic is way better than a mini. Why would I buy an iPOD when a roxio is so much better? Hell, why pay the "Dell tax" when you could strap a beagle board into an altoids can and duct tape a surplus touch screen to it? Ever hear Eddie Murphy's routine about his moms hamburgers...
To do a retrofit, you have to interpret the strings. If you went from scratch, though, you could use the metal-metal contact of the guitar string to fret to give note placement and stress on the string to give bend. Gets you half the way there. The other half is measuring the amplitude of the string vibration to produce the envelope. It doesn't sound, if you'll mind the pun, that bad. You wouldn't need to actually tune the guitar ( although the dissonance of the faint, naturally produced sound over the amplified one might need more than a "couple of beers to not offend your ears") other than for tightness, and could select alternate tunings from a menu.
I've never fully understood why perl is around. Not bashing (mind the pun), but it seems to bring nothing to the sh/awk/sed/... table, but fills all the closets with junk, and lays version incompatibility traps in the hallways. I swear that the infamous Gates memo ( about trying to get some application ) could be modified (using sed, of course) to be about perl, and everyone would nod their head in agreement. The idea is to make things simple, so you have a chance of making them work at all.
What an un-Canadian posting. You are supposed to yell "Go USA" and smirk quietly, to yourself. The salt mines of Scarborough for you.
Some of your followups don't seem to get that other countries, including Canada, consider things like school kids reciting the pledge of allegiance to be, uh, kinda nuts. Canada makes its new citizens pledge allegiance to the Queen (once), really as a bit of a joke. If we had more immigrants, we might make them push an egg down the street with their nose as well.
The poster that thinks there are as many flags in Canada either lives on a military base, has forgotten his homeland or mistaken the flag of some hockey team for the Canadian one [ note the real maple leaf is red, not blue]. Of the countries I've visited, only Northern Ireland comes anywhere close to the American Flag density. On her first time south of the border, my 12 year old innocently asked 'what is with all the flags? Is it USA day? '; which could only be answered 'every day is USA day...'
To paraphrase an old saw, the model should be like used like a street light, to guide the traveller and illuminate what cannot be seen; not, as a drunk may use it, for support (or a bathroom).
I think what we've seen is even worse. I think the models are used for justification. I doubt anybody actively involved in this obscenity can claim they really didn't know what they were doing. On top of everything else, it was their job to know what they were doing.
If you do indeed get it, I don't understand why you refer to things as universal which aren't. Its almost as if you are looking for something to bolster your jaded view. As for lawyers or doctors; neither. Maybe 100 frothing zealots, but they would probably survive on regurgitated bile for a generation.
I'm not sure you get the concept of "Universal". Universal means everyone - old, young, rich, poor. No opting out, no opting in. In part, that is why it works.
no lint is basic, so basic there is no good reason to not always use it. (bo.c) is equivalent to the only flaw described in the published summary. Dynamic analyzers (required to catch your example) are just stuck in the shadow of the halting problem.
I often feel stress when subjected to surveillance whether electronic or by officials. I don't have a guilty conscience, don't steal, etc.., and I object to being treated as a potential thief or thug. Volunteering for this in exchange for traveling or buying cheap toilet paper is quite different from being monitored in public spaces.
The cameras in the UK look ridiculous, like a leftover Dr Who prop, but they add a tinge of oppression to the atmosphere. I entertain a theory that excessive enforcement promotes incivility; that when treated like criminals, people are more likely to behave in kind.
They aren't letting anyone download it - they are charging them to, thus getting a piece of the action. If the "new government of Canada" had been in any way honest, they would have setup the infrastructure where any autodialer had to issue a "can I bug ###.###.####" at a known web location every time it wanted to call a given number, and be bounded by the response. If they were in any way interested in their citizens, they would have extended the service to permit blocking charities, pollsters, etc... The F-OFF database would be private, and any disputes can be resolved by a simple database lookup.
Of course, it is more fashionable to have businesses regulate themselves.
As a fellow citizen of Canada, I am not in the least bit surprised.
I don't know if these help yet, but apparently if you make your answering machine/voice mail message start with a "disconnected signal" (http://www.telephonetribute.com/signal_and_circuit_conditions.htm) you can discourage autodialers. Somebody even markets a little device (telezapper) to do this for you.
I have no love for the CRTC, but the pressure probably came from elected officials via heavy lobbying. Regardless, after years of "click here to be removed from the list", how anyone didn't see this coming is beyond me.

Thats not true. Unix, and a number of unix-inspired OSes (qnx and coherent at least) were available from the early days. Unix heritage lies in the pdp family, and the early PCs were comparable.

Given their history, this could be pretty funny.

They are both tiny, and only adequate for virtual applications.

Isn't it kinder to let them know up front?
I'm not sure you get the concept of "Universal". Universal means everyone - old, young, rich, poor. No opting out, no opting in. In part, that is why it works.
The rub, if you'll pardon the term, is you may be required to prove it.
Maybe MS sued them for copyright infringement...
You could plug a usb powered light in. That would be cool.

$ cat bo.c
int a[3];
void f()
{
a[3] = 1;
}
$ lint bo.c
bo.c:4: warning: array subscript cannot be > 2: 3
Lint is so basic, I can't imagine not using it....
more like places to avoid.

If I distribute a program with GPL code, I have to provide the source.
If I sit a modded GPL program behind a cgi script, do I have to provide the source?
mu?
I think the point is that the site (antithetically americanthinker) is politically/economically motivated bs.

The pace of technology is astounding. I wonder what next week will bring.
You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!
