Taking photos all the time, the Google vehicle was squarely on private property, a fact that presumably should have been apparent when the gravel path became paved.
Why should that be apparent? There are gravel public lanes (and even a road or two) in my city, and it never would have occurred to me that such a thing would automatically mean private property.
And people of faith take a much more extreme attitude than most atheists. They insist that the probability of their god existing is 100% exactly, while the probability of anyone else's god existing is 0% exactly.
Actually, everything I read in the Bible was more along the lines of "my god can whip your god", not "your god doesn't exist." Examples:
Exodus 12:12: "And against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment."
Exodus 15:11: "Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods?"
Exodus 18:11: "Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods."
But that's like complaining that the OLPC won't run Vista. That's not it's point, which is to put something otherwise inaccessible into the hands of the masses. By requiring it to work with materials you can make yourself, even the relatively impoverished can start using one without having to scrounge expensive supplies from charities or other benefactors.
Sure, it's a poor knock-off of industrial grade machines - in almost exactly the same way that an OLPC is a poor knock-off of a mainframe.
His initial career was only made possible due to a loophole in German tax law which allowed him to spend other people's money on his bad movies since they could write off the loss for tax purposes.
According to Wikipedia, that law was there specifically to encourage German citizens to produce German movies. I can't fault him for taking advantage of a tax law by doing exactly what that law was designed to make him do.
He lured critcs out to a charity fight and then beat the snot out of them, sending one to the hospital
One of the "charity fighters" was a trained amateur boxer (and Boll won anyway). Seriously, a guy famous for his temper who happens to hate yo u invites you to fight him in public. He shows up and pounds you. How can this possibly be surprising to anyone?
I agree with another poster: I never liked the man before this. Now I file him in the "entertaining crackpot" category. I'm still not going to watch his movies, but maybe, just maybe, he's not such a bad guy after all.
I know I type with about four fingers: my left index finger, my right index and middle fingers, and my right thumb, and I also know I tend to make certain typos more often than others.
Linux really is starting to get a lot of attention. It may not be the best option in all cases, especially when you have business critical windows applications.
That's assuming that they run better under Vista then under Linux+Wine. While that's clearly true in many cases, if the app is an in-house legacy thing that started life in DOS, then there's a fair chance that Wine may be more compatible than Vista.
The intent behind copyright is that you purchase it for a purpose (and likely the DJs had to purchase a more expensive version that allows public performance) and you can use it for that purpose.
Which country are you speaking for - Australia? That's certainly untrue anywhere I've heard the law described.
My wife and I had vaguely looked into relocating to Australia, as it seemed to embody a lot of what the US was once proud to stand for. From all the news we've been hearing from there, though, it seems like they're following the bad example we're setting. Am I misreading things, or is Australia really rushing to become another nanny state of infinite laws?
My first dialup computer was a Commodore 64 with a 300 baud Vicmodem - the one where you manually dial the phone, unplug your handset's cord, and plug it into the modem. I think I can still dial half those BBSes from muscle memory.:-)
One of my prized possessions in the early 90s was a Supra 2400 baud modem card for my Amiga 2000. I suspect much of our BBSing experience was pretty similar.
One team used a better algorithm while the other harvested augmenting data on movies from the Internet Movie Database. And this team, which used a simpler algorithm, did much better nearly as well as the best algorithm on the boards for the $1 million challenge.
And the teams were identically talented? In my CS classes, I could have hand-picked teams that could make O(2^n) algorithms run quickly and others that could make O(1) take hours.
Freenet will, by design, underperform a normal straight connection so there is a strong disincentive for legit content to use it.
That's almost true. Your node caches all content that passes through it, even that which your neighbor nodes have requested. Once it's cached, retrieval is almost instantaneous since your browser is fetching it from your own server. Translation: peer with people who share your tastes, and let their browsing habits pre-cache the content that you might also find interesting.
I tried out freenet several years ago, and poking around in the content that existed, it was extremely heavily weighted toward child pornography.
I don't know what index pages you managed to find, but the ones that are preconfigured in Freenet (as of about 6 months ago when I last tried it) were packed with links to government criticisms and a mix of stuff from Wikileaks and Project Gutenberg. The reason you keep getting modded down is that your claim is factually incorrect based on what I've seen.
I'll take your word for it that the nastier stuff is available, even if you have to go digging for it. That doesn't mean that Freenet's not potentially very useful, in exactly the same way the Internet itself is useful even when considering the bad elements.

To paraphrase ol' Ben: Kylie is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. Ironically enough, given the subject at hand.

So, Vim. Right?

Umm, that's exactly what the grandparent said.

Umm, why would I? That's not part of the comment.
The OP didn't say anything about drivers. He said that "Windows are hard to write."
Golf clap for almost (but not quite) getting the point of that.
No they aren't.
And the teams were identically talented? In my CS classes, I could have hand-picked teams that could make O(2^n) algorithms run quickly and others that could make O(1) take hours.
Ouch. I had an AT&T 14.4, and that was pretty standard around my scene.
It was removed later 'for great justice'.
Unfortunately, it seems to be running on Netsite.
Are you sure about that? I thought it was because of the characteristic eyelid fold that looked distinctly Asian.
Never. Members of the far left are always reasonable and sane.
My point here is simply that no faction has a monopoly on crazed jackasses.
