Ruby's a great language with a mediocre runtime (but getting better) and Rails is a great idea with massive breakage and version dependency problems among minor versions. Maybe that just means it's not done yet, but, man, stuff should work on 1.8.6 and 1.8.7 the same way and Rails 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 should cause huge breakage (I'm only recalling those versions from memory, apply fuzz).
Both. Intra- appearing immediately, and inter- within 24 hours. Free.
Nice. This was PayPal's original business model in the 90's, offering Americans this kind of efficient service while sitting on the float for interest.
For the anatomically challenged among you, it's the hole you pee through, not the one you sh1t through.
You pee thorough your urethra. Your prostate makes semen. The above reads like 'you digest food through your lungs' (because they both connect at the throat).
but fighting plaque build-ups in places you can't really get?
Chew some xylitol gum instead. It tricks the plaque's metabolism into thinking its digesting sugar and effectively starves them. It's better to kill off the bacteria than to try to repair damage (one theory of the mechanism of action for fluoride is it assists with enamel remineralization). I half-started a list of products I've found to be of decent quality here. I should get back to that with some good recipes I've worked out too...
A bit cheaper than a home intra-oral plasma torch and more portable.
If they're paying you 2% interest and charging 4.5% interest in their loans, their profit is (roughly) 4.5% * 9 - 2%. So, they're making 38% or so on your deposit.
This is why banking is so profitable despite the seemingly low rates. It's also what creates the problems of 'runs on banks', but with the FDIC in place, the banks may lend as recklessly as possible, and if they fail (a handful a week are, currently) the losses are socialized among the taxpayers. Private profits, socialized losses. You'd think bankers were running the government.
It is, though, it's not sandboxed. It has access to your filesystem, your hardware (microphones, webcams, etc.), it can take your video full-screen, etc.
And, if Apple lets the camel's nose under the tent, no doubt subsequent versions would support GPS, accelerometer, etc., on 'all platforms that support it'.
Apple can rightly cite security, performance, and efficiency as reasons not to approve flash, so they can really maintain control through their App Store. And it's not just control of app selection, but developer mindshare. If you could write iPhone apps in Flash and deploy the same app on Android, Symbian, Maemo, and Moblin, then many fewer developers would write in Apple's SDK. So, it's a measure to hurt the competition as well.
When interest in developing mobile Cocoa apps start to subside, they can allow Flash in, and each Adobe release is a face-saving opportunity to 're-consider' its merits. If we're all lucky, though, HTML5 makes this unnecessary.
Meaning what if they share existence in another (for lack of a better word) dimension.
I don't even think we have proof that entangled particles are not really the same particle if looked at with the proper dimensionality. I'm reminded of the people in Flatland looking at the weird series of circles that appear and disappear.
Some might even conjecture that entangled particles are proof of a more correct topology that we're missing. There are at least some models that show our 4D existence as a projection from a different, base topology.
In this case, you have to "measure" the particle in a particular way to retrieve the energy, and that way depends on what happened to the particle on the other side while the energy is being "pumped in" (so you cannot know in advance).
This is the part of this that always confuses me - do you happen to know why regular (clock-based) particle manipulations on the 'sending' side wouldn't work? Perturbations of the pattern of measurements could be used for signaling (he says naively).
You do realize that cleaning up the acid mine drainage from coal mines is mostly paid by taxes, right?
If it's a small leak or a small accident, then yes, the plant should and will pay for it. But in a serious emergency, do you really _want_ them to take care of it? The government has more training in disaster management, and they have more resources. Plus I'm not really gonna trust the people that caused the problem to fix it properly. So yes, taxes pay for disaster relief. That's the way it's always been.
And that's why we keep having abuses.
The trouble is these mines are on so-called 'public' lands. A 'corporation' is given mining rights and the owners have no personal liability, so they don't bother to do it carefully and they don't get sufficient insurance.
If they were facing polluting private land and the owners were personally responsible, they'd do it right or get sufficient insurance (which would insist on it being done right or have enough money to hire out competent remediation).
We get this kind of reckless pollution due to multiple bad government policies stacked upon each other. Meanwhile, the mining companies pay off the politicians.
I think nuclear is something we're going to have to use, but I am _extremely_ worried it's going to be another privatize the gains and socialize the losses deal.
That's because our system doesn't really respect private property rights. If the Yankee plant leaks into private wells, each well owner should be able to sue Yankee for the full value of that land and anything on it. If it's critical the whole Town is up for compensation. Whole towns are so expensive that it's cheaper to just do maintenance.
If it gets into the Connecticut River (adjacent) the owner of the River should be able to sue Yankee for the full value of the river from that point south. But, oh, wait, the river only belongs to the 'State' of NH and they're not going to do anything about it.
(I understand the Yankee plant leak isn't that bad, but the mechanistic problems here are the concern).
what difference does it make whether that organization is a company or a government?
Because a company won't come to your house and beat and/or kill you and/or your family and/or pets if it feels that you've been disobedient to their demands.
(hunters around here actually have been harassed for this, keeping their pistol warm under their coat or protected while climbing over bramble during pistol season).
A LOT of money gets spent to try to prevent this, and sometimes I wonder if it is really possible.
One could measure outcomes, but government programs are so rarely held to inspection. When the outcomes show failure, they celebrate success (see the recent Headstart ($100,000,000,000) research).
So what if the government issued an "Internet ID Card", with PKI Certs, etc, that would be used to secure email, transactions, etc? This is by no means a panacea, but as a factor in 2-factor ID, it might well cut down on some forms of malware.
I thought about pushing this in the 90's, but in the end people just hate that. Unless you're going to mandate that nobody can send anonymous traffic at all, then people will still send anonymous messages.
Nothing prevents you from getting a CACert Web of Trust certificate now, if you want to start doing this kind of thing with your friends and family.
...nooo... I'm pretty sure on my VHS copy you see Han shoot Greedo, and Greedo's body flops unconvincingly (obviously no body in the suit) on to the table top.
This is true for the laserdisc version, can't say for sure about VHS.
Han says, "yes, I'll bet you have," and smirks. There are sounds of blaster fire, a big puff of smoke, and Greedo keels over dead.
I'd happily take a few days of agony over potentially years of solitary confinement with who knows what diminished cognitive capacity and what kind of torment that would lead to.
Reasonable, but note that my argument was for a quick painless death vs. an agonizing one, not what you reference above.
Slashdot Mirror
Lots of people are still running this on G3 machines that can't upgrade to Leopard.
So, don't upgrade Firefox?
I mean, 10.4 doesn't get any security updates anymore so the machine is at risk anyway. Those people have already gotten burned by Apple.
Fedora PPC is the only secure upgrade path, AFAIK.
I am supposed to care about his opinion of smart phones why?
Some people think it's wise to listen to what a mechanic thinks of a new car. Much less the head of engineering at a car company...

Before the dark times.
A internet bank transfer costs zero in Australia.
Inter- or intra- bank (or both)?
How do your banks get away with such charges?
Regulatory capture.
I take from that, that it will also put holes it my cells' walls.
multi-cellular organism WIN!

Also you normally get hit with a $15 wire transfer fee on top of it.
Where's this? I never paid PayPal to transfer money to a bank account. I'm in the USA, though.
How do you figure this? In the US the only entitiy that "creates" money is the US Govenment (through the US Mint).
It's called Fractional-reserve lending. You deposit $100 into your bank and they led out $900.
If they're paying you 2% interest and charging 4.5% interest in their loans, their profit is (roughly) 4.5% * 9 - 2%. So, they're making 38% or so on your deposit.

sorry to make you look really, really stupid but the ARM Cortex-A8 runs flash quite happily on an n900.
Oh, come one, the first Google hit for 'arm flash' is only a promise to port from '08, you have to go down to the second result to get the answer.
Flash isn't really any more powerful than that.
It is, though, it's not sandboxed. It has access to your filesystem, your hardware (microphones, webcams, etc.), it can take your video full-screen, etc.
And, if Apple lets the camel's nose under the tent, no doubt subsequent versions would support GPS, accelerometer, etc., on 'all platforms that support it'.

This sounds exactly like what a NETbook should do.
That's a marketing term, not a product specification (which would be 'slow, small low-power laptop'.
Let's not let the droids confuse us.

At least not yet.
Apple can't have Android inside Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field.
The iPad fisco shows that the field is no longer in effect. I suspect this proves it was actually generated by his original liver.
Yeah, but why risk getting snagged on a branch?

Seems like there are a lot of more important ones that should get priority.
Do you plan to put people in jail for having children or take their children from them?
Maybe freedom means some people fail.
