I don't agree. I live in Merida, México. And I got kind of tired of the marketing campaigns focused on making us vote for Chichen Itza, it got specially tiresome when people I know insisted that I should vote for Chichen.
I didn't vote because I thought this was an important choice that should have been made by a a group of wise men and not using a popularity contest.
Chichen won, but I am not feeling too proud of this "victory", I am sure there are some other wonders even more wonderful that didn't make the cut because they didn't have enough native back up.
I sure hope Chichen won because people from outside of Mexico voted for it.
Send an argument to the ssh client, telling it to execute "screen -xRR" (those are the default arguments screen use when it runs as a login shell), with these args, whenever you connect you will re-attach to the same session you were running.
Avoid setting up screen as a login shell via/etc/passwd because that breaks scp and sftp, I havent tested but I guess they would break too if you added screen to.bashrc (as other posters have stated), because scp and sftp depend on having bash when connecting.
You should start using xrange() if you're going to be doing long iterations.
Not only because of the memory needed, but because with range() you need to allocate everything first, and then read everything, but with xrange() you only allocate the item you'll be reading.
On the other hand, I think it is good timing, this way, people will be able to wait until the next holyday to buy a computer or windows itself, by then, there will already be some security patches.
Getting a windows release right on the spot when it is released is not really my idea of a smart choice.
I've been thinking about the paranoia people are getting about google having access to your sensitive information and I ran some tests... I sent some emails to my gmail account, stating a real hostname and a user/passwd to connect to it, saying it has important files on ftp. I've done this several times and the accounts are never active.
Better yet my solution is to have a password that is a random secuence of random characters, when I have to log in, I bang on the keyboard like a sick monkey, select the text, type half of my password, bang the keyboard some more with more random characters, select those random chars and then type the rest of my password and then click ok.
Nobody has ever cracked my password and I always have some unknown keyloggers, spyware and virus running.
The Ajax Toolbox has a function that lets you do exactly that, submit a form via javascript. It just doesn't support file input fields for obvious reasons.
* You can no longer watch the games/videos/greetings your family emails you as executable files (although this is arguably an advantage).
Please tell me you were kidding, no one should ever watch executable files, it doesn't matter who sent it. There are formats for games/videos/greetings, please use them. Please don't watch exe files. You make baby jebus cry.
I bet you trust all your computer illiterate family members keep their computers virus free. Good luck to you.
Would you do it in real life? You start practicing karate, would you pick a fight with a black belt? would it be fair for white belts to fight black belts and demand balance?
MMORPG are too focused on balance, lots of players play a lot, some of them don't, I'd say it would be ok for it to be unbalanced as in the players that play a lot get really good (make it rewarding) while the other players get their rewards at their own pace, while playing with players at their own level.
Make real rules with real punishments, make fights only legal when both parties attack, when some party destroys a peaceful party, put them in jail, that'll teach them.
I like MMORPGs but I still want to see a reward/punishment system that feels good.
I might be wrong, but at least that's what I'd like to see in a game.
The demand for fighting monsters is too high, I personally don't like out-of-nowhere-spawns, where there's always a supply of enemies (and loot), it encourages camping and/or triggering the respawn (changing zones, guild wars).
How about breeding monsters? How about alternate activities (interesting, challenging) while the monsters grow (why would you go on a puppy killing spree?)
Besides of that, I think content should be created by the user (kind of like second life, but creating usable/equipable items with bonuses and characteristics)
It's too difficult because people often want to play just to kill and kill some more.
It's all good.... but more often than not, relationships need to diversify their activities and playing games is a good idea to spend some time together, it's fun, you can always switch games, and if it gets boring you can stop playing it and resume the kissing and touching:P

Well you could always create a script named vi which runs vi.bin (truecrypt) with the right arguments, couldn't you?
You could've been happy with the previous versions of python too, I think of this new feature as syntax candy.
For those who didn't know, you can do this in python, short circuit logic:
print a==b and "first option" or "second option"

I've used google trends before, is this a new version or just a formal release?
"Hey boss the other day I copied some of your top secret files from your computer, I just wanted to let you know, we're cool, right?"

Why are people confusing VM as in virtualization with the ones that run bytecode?
Java/Net run as a native app, they have full access to the 3D drivers running with the real 3D card.
Virtualization emulates a Cirrus Logic GD5446 video card, it does not support native 3D.

It might be me but I read the title as: more "worst video game ads" not "more worst" video game ads.
I bet I'm not the only one.
If I showed the world a really nice painting or music score, would it be less artistic if they found it was generated with an algorithm?
Just tried it...
admin@ubuntu:/tmp$ mkdir hello
admin@ubuntu:/tmp$ ln -s hello hi
admin@ubuntu:/tmp$ rm hi/
rm: cannot remove `hi/': Not a directory
admin@ubuntu:/tmp$ rm hi
admin@ubunut:/tmp$
Could you point me to a place to learn how to set up iptables to achieve those rules?
I don't know maybe japan targets the teens and US/Europe targets the children, hence the watering down.

Just stop using it, it's free, you won't notice the difference.
You cancel services when you dont want to continue paying for them.
Why would a newbie want to fight a veteran?

I read the article and came here looking for more examples and preferably, links to sites about it. I want to join the high tech cheating guild.
Try bringing a video camera to get those kids out of your place, they will shut up and leave peacefully.
1995 called, they want their screenshots back.
just kidding just kidding
