Not only do we (NZ) not have such regulation - our law explicitly excludes recognition of the validity of anything designed to prevent something playing in NZ. IE if the DRM stops you playing something here - there's no reason to fear anything if you bypass the DRM to play it (providing the "it" was legitimately obtained) http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1994/0143/latest/DLM1705866.html
Meh whatever.
I've got Nokia lumia 710 supplied by work and quite like it. I used to have android but really don't miss it.
Regardless of what the haters say - its not bad

Oh he's smart enough to go hunting.
Not the kind of hunting that I would do which would involve hitting up anyone who crosses my path. He will be hunting out the next place which will be a best "fit" for him. If he sits at home waiting for someone to come to him then he might miss out on the wonderful position at a place where people don't think he'd be interested.
You probably mean just that he can take his pick - and he probably can. But I suspect he'll be a bit more proactive than waiting to see who comes to him
>You: Computers have made my life much easier. >Harvard study: Computers don't save hospitals money.
>Note the slight difference there?
yes - but you missed the bit about efficiency. "Computers have made my life much easier." is usually how we express efficiency.
Over a decade ago I did a stint at a hospital looking after the pathology database. When it was down and paper records were required then lives were at risk due to the lack of efficiency (time spent accessing paper). It honestly scared me!
I'm sure things are much much more reliant on computers now. Computers are not just for the hospital admins.
although most news flowed from the traditional media to the blogs, 3.5 percent of story lines originated in the blogs and later made their way to traditional media.
I wonder what percentage were later retracted as completely bogus. Jeff Goldblume might be able to point out one recent issue
People clutch to any straw when panicking, regardless if the panic is over anything of substance. The normal seasonal flu kills as well - possibly more so than H1N1.
From this article in the guardian it seems that Tamiflu has a measurable effect, but not markedly. You might get better 2/3 of a day earlier after taking it. I think I'd take it if prescribed but wouldn't pay huge money for it or join in a riot to get the last tablet from a pharamcy.
>Isn't that the very proof that we will never invent Tardis style time travel.
nope - it's only proof that the tardis-like traveller has been successfully covert or covered-up.
Just as the paradox of time traveling and killing yourself (ancester) can't happen because it didn't happen. That doesn't disprove the possibility of time travel it just proves that particular event didn't occur (in our timeline)
The problem is that the user couldn't find a file. The solution is a better INTERFACE - this has absolutly nothing to do with the file system!
From the headline I thought this was going to be about lost/cross-linked clusters not idiotic users forgetting where something is saved. You can improve the problem in this story by implementing better and more intuitive search features through to overhalling the traditional file-browser window implimented on all OS's that I see.
These changes are independent on the underlying file system which could be anything from fat16 through to reiser... heck it could even be PICK or a relational DB. Of course - some FS's naturally lend themselves to a particular style of search/browsing - but that simply makes it easer/harder for the interface developer. They are still very seperate things.
Changing the file system will NOT solve this problem
>So Joe Scientist thinks there's a remote possibility that the birds napped en route during a "nonstop, over-water route?" WTF?
I guess it depends on how you define sleep. We all can do some stuff in our sleep (breathing for e.g.). I'm no biologist but I *guess* an animal could sleep and have wings set to the same automatic response as breathing, waking up when it got tricky (turbulance etc).
But this does look interesting in terms of data delivery over avian carriers. Tiny birds... I guess we'd be talking small MTU.
While it is pipe dream bullshit to outlaw said logo, I have a bigger question: how does an outside-the-law gang have intellectual property in the first place? It's not like a university/corporation/organization where you can (C) your logos.
What?
Do you think they are NOT an organisation?
Of course they can copyright the logo that they have designed themselves. Are you going to claim that they do not vigorously protect their claim?
They may get them on RICO but there's no denying that they are an organisation. And when it comes to it.. that's not a requirement for a trademark. You, yourself, are not an organization but you can make a logo and trademark it.
SP3 works fine for me but it removed my address bar from the taskbar. MS claim somewhere its a compliance thing but that's totally BS as vista has the address bar and the address bar in SP2 will load the default browser (ie firefox).
There are work arounds and third party patches - but this is just annoying.
how did you think the bits moved through the tubes - wirelessly? Wireless is really really sucky for huge numbers bits. I am pretty sure that the vast majority of core internet traffic is cable based
Slashdot Mirror
That was my first thought too.
Also I can't see anyone's userid# damnit, what's the point in having a low six digit userid# if I can't subtly flaunt it? Really...
Really? They're up to SIX digits now? Been away a while

What? ITIL is about as far from Open as you can get. Intellectual property page
Oh - it's for sale if you feel like buying it (but you probably aren't eligible) see an article on the "for sale"

There's some drafts over at wikileaks Classified US, Japan and EU ACTA trade agreement drafts, 2009

Besides - it's got a cool blue screen
PowerShell FTW
I think MS are all to aware of the fragility of their monopoly.
damn that's funny - AND you got some bites ;-)

what's truly amazing is how it's done. Remarkable stuff.
But it is stunning to think that all contenents and most decent sized islands are tied together with copper and glass cable

ummmm wasn't that an APPLE screensaver badly ported to windows?
sorry - I'm just stunned that someone would do that.
