Agreed. How it interacts with HTML and JavaScript are going to be very important. AJAX fits nicely in there, and really is nothing new except the techniques. The HTML is still indexable, and the ad and tracking javascript is still there. With this, that may not all be true.
I've got my personal/small business server(does nothing but a crappy webpage) so it's not critical down in florida. It's gone down because of router issues but never a hurricane, and oh yes, it's been hit. I actually think those places may be better as they are built to weather those types of storms.
Yeah, I've heard lots of people sweating and panicking because a back ho was working somewhere near the datacenter. On site and beads of sweat on their forehead.
"Does this really spell the end of AJAX? I sincerely hope so. Nothing built on Javascript will ever achieve the security, cross-platform reliability, and programmatic friendliness that Web 2.0 needs."
Use Dojo or a similar framework, or Rails has it built in to the back end programming, which is even better(again using a mature framework).
And security? "JavaFX will also trigger desktop integration of over-the-wire applications with Java" desktop apps from? Yeah, high security results have always been achieved there. That's why I give activex unlimited control on my computer.
The goal is to make it so people never have to see code," said Gosling.
Sounds like even more code will be sent "over the wire." And I'm so glad for disconnected use, my broadband takes forever to dial in... oh, wait, no, nevermind. Had a 90's flashback there.
Although I'm glad for the Java ME stuff, I'd love to see better web pages for the mobile market, and they don't have to be flat like we did before all this fun stuff happened(I don't call it web2.0, although you can if you like).
It really sounds like it's DOA. Talking about "disconnected." "Imagine running gmail in a disconnected state" well it already does that, runs just fine, the data is on one end of the disconnected pipe and you can't see it until you're connected again. How do you have a remote database and a disconnected web app unless you download the database. And even then you wouldn't get new mail as it comes in.
No, it could possibly be called a "derivative" work of art. (Even if the original work is public domain you have to copyright it as a derivative work). But, considering it looks like a regular ID, it's not enough of a new work to be called a derivative.
Also, I'm sure she would get fair use for critiquing it as she is in the industry to write "reviews" of these types of documents and point them out.
She is clearly critiquing said "work" and as she works in the, perhaps arguably, most pertinent industry I think she may be able to get off on fair use.
Not sold on the derivative part though, you can't just have original work in it, it 'must be different enough from the original to be regarded as a "new work" or must contain a substantial amount of new material.' And since drivers licenses are 90% the same(only the text changes) I don't think it would hit. Plus since the states always change the text and pictures it probably wouldn't be considered new work as that is what the state always does with it.
Plus, presenting it as official from the state(aside from breaking laws) would imply you were not claiming copyright ownership of it, and thus it has been since relinquished.
Of course, there's no way it will ever go this far to explore any of these questions, so I'm just guessing here, although it should be pressed criminally, especially if she thinks she's "going places" because all those places have enough crooks who eventually get caught, and many who don't, and if you're gonna get caught before you even start you're not going anywhere.
They should have verified it. They should then have to get that money from the ISP and hopefully that will discourage ISPs from falling in so easily, knowing that a simple mistake can cost them money, even if they aren't compensated for looking up the guys IP in the first place. (or is the ISP compensated in someway?) Then the ISPs will demand more rights and lobbying and it will turn around and help strengthen the whole system from radical abuses.
But the question is typically about things we don't do that are difficult to fix as we've never experienced said problems before(massive impact, global nuclear war, etc...) Besides, never hurts to hedge the bet.
That's not how print magazines work, articles go in, and when they fill a gap or void or a theme is when they go to print, which can be years later, even for software/tech magazines. Again, only in print. Since they all had older versions reviewed you can kind of figure out when they did the review. Of course, it can also take place over the course of a few months.
I'm a crazy neo-hippie vegetarian and even I don't listen to greenpeace(or were aware they were still around). Yeah, polluters are bad, but greenpeace doesn't help.
They seem to have infinite employees calling me to add new services to my card that are expensive, overpriced, difficult to cancel "protections" that I'm ultimately ineligible for.
"You really should have it and be paying for it now in case you ever become eligible for the benefits and then lose your job!" WTF? (by ineligible I mean I'm self employed so not eligible at all under most of their crap).
Thank you for not being like all other slashdotters who seem to believe technology is incapable of evolving once it has been released(typically anytime you mention solar panels you get very old figures(only last 10-20 years, when they can typically go to 30-40 these days, only so efficient which is half what it is now, 5-10 years for return on investment when it's less than 5 years in most places, less than 2 in others, etc...) and thus is not worth investing in, looking at, considering, or even talking about.
Well, there's not really just one way to split up the OS'es, see nmap TCP/IP OS fingerprinting, but it's kind of disheartening that Cisco is using the UA for that, as it's the least secure thing you could possibly do. Kind of a name badge, "Hi My name is: CEO of Your Company" and security letting him pass without a card swipe or ID check because he says it so it must be true. Nmap OS Fingerprinting is really very cool if you haven't checked it out before. OpenBSD hides itself pretty well and FreeBSD does ok with certain switches turned on. But of course the detection just gets better each time too.
Noncompetes are typically ruled to be only partially enforceable is what they mean. This is slashdot, I'm surprised it hasn't been taken to the extreme context of "you'll get $100,000 if you quit then sue". IP rights are typically enforceable from what I've read and seen. I've also found companies are very willing to negotiate.
Scratch the whole thing out, if they won't, ask to have their lawyer put in that you'll get paid full salary until that clause (and any further ones) expire. If they don't like it, they should be more willing to take out the whole thing. If not, then it's a bad job unless you are willing to accept that, and yes, it does limit new jobs, very much so. So it better be enough money to accept that job.
No, a sample is incomplete, you really do need the whole thing. Samples were posted above but without the full context it's impossible to determine. Hopefully the court case falls out and no further damage is done to him, AND, hopefully, if a medical professional determines, after reading the whole thing in context, and makes a recommendation, it will be followed. If nothing is wrong, great, if something is, he needs help, NOT a conviction, that really accomplishes nothing but bringing up anger in him.
"problems highlight one of the risks of relying on hosted applications providers"
And one of the risks in upgrades to desktop applications, and client/server applications(locally hosted). Everything can have problems, and I know it sucks.
That being said, My Yahoo! page has been working, and the same since the 90's.:)
Don't forget google calendar provider either. Still not complete either, but definately worth it(you need lightning!). Now I can add stuff from tbird and google calendar shows it (shared calendar for vacations to let clients + friends know) as well as we use it for todo lists and other stuff(shared calendars) that really help us out. Not that the google calendar interface is bad, it's just more convenient sometimes to not have to leave the email client to do it.
Nope, while it is easy to jump to that conclusion, it's just not accurate. The problem here is Conflict of Interest pure and simple. While there could be something more there probably isn't, but that doesn't mean the fox should guard the hen house even if he says he won't touch.
You're jumping too quick to dismiss. No, the problem here is a group with conflict of interest was running an elections server. That's the smell right there, you must have your nose where it doesn't belong.
If votes were changed at this level then yes, that's a problem, but even if no votes were changed, do you want the republicans OR the democrats to be the ones running the elections server? That's conflict of interest no matter what you do. So what if you have access to the money in the bank, as long as you don't steal anything then no harm is done and no one should question it, right? Is that what you're saying, is that conflict of interest is ok as long as no harm is done?
You've really missed the point in a jump to defend here, fraud or not, there's a huge conflict on interest problem that we need to be sure doesn't happen again. There's many small counties and to have fraud there it doesn't hurt to have fraud in both places, but hell, it's 2007, we're almost through it, so I don't care about that. But I don't want the republicans in control of the election server, nor do I want the democrats or anyone else in control of the server except state personnel who are public employees.
Agreed. I was able to(with the help of some of the others in the IT department and a spectacular failure of trying to use and get Outlook working with a third party company for over 3 months) get everyone on google calendar, but we're small. (Of course, there is google for domains now)
"Postgresql next to the whole shebang as a superior alternative"
I call shenanigans. Only recently has it become superior. Documentation isn't just a feature, it's a necessity, even with the open source world, and Postgresql's documentation is finally getting to a good point. I tried numerous times to install and use this "superior alternative" with bad documentation(it was all there, but in backwards, confusing steps, how to access your database was before creating it, etc..) it was just disorganized. Privileges were a bitch with very confusing instructions. Yeah, if you knew it, superior alternative, if you didn't, RTFM, oh wait, that didn't actually help. Now the MySQL can compete better on features(not completely mind you, PostgreSQL still has some important features missing from MySQL) the documentation is starting to improve a lot on the postgresql front.
As soon as you log on to a site connected with certain advertisers your brand new not you unique cookie is again linked back to your old account thru backend calls between advertisers and accounts. Yeah, there's a minor % that is wrong because of people using other's computers, but it's better than having people delete cookies being new customers again. Yeah, a lot of random sites you probably will never go to again don't know you from one to the other, but others get who you are from your cookie linked to their advertiser, and as soon as you log in to any of the sites that have the same advertiser, you're linked up again and some sites do it retroactively. Of course, if you want privacy, better than a cookie blocker is actually adblock and the filterset.g updater. Those give you more privacy than deleting your cookies. But yes, it's possible to track you past the cookies.
There's a few fingerprinting companies out there, track you by stuff plugins give away(dates, versions, etc.. anything the plugin will give up). I've even heard of a company using the time offset from your computer from your web browser(which passes the time back in milliseconds since 1970, IIRC) and combined with some other methods it really helps you track people down. Not to mention you can combine all this with your IP address and you're pretty good. But deleting cookies doesn't really help you, it's more of a minor inconvenience to the small companies who don't really care to track you that much, and a tiny hurdle to larger companies who do care and who are already doing it and some that even know you before the cookie. (Don't accept cookies? Check for that, and IP address, flash version, time offset(if it's possible), what plugins are installed via navigator.plugins and you're pretty close to a positive ID. Of course there are many other ways and I don't know any of them. So, delete your cookies if you want, but realize it's not much of a help.
Adblock is, and ultimately those who really want to track you probably can.
Or a couple students or teachers trained for emergencies like this and some heavy objects, same thing, except harder to kill someone, better for interrogation, and better than a bunch of drunk students in their dorm rooms with guns nearby.
But that is what the lights are for. And with the cameras they can now be held accountable. But cops running the lights, no lights on their car, are only being held accountable because of the cameras. What if they are off the clock, should they still be allowed? No. Let them with their lights on, not with their lights off, they can pull privilege if they have reason and that's what TFA says, "within the law"
