fedora.redhat.com is still showing test 3. That seems odd to me. Why would some other site have the release version before the project's site? Am I just being paranoid?
When people send me Excel files, I kindly ask them to re-send the file in CSV or some other format. Yes, there are things you can only do in native file format. But the vast majority of users never do those things.
Is there a way to tell Excel to save formulas instead of cell contents in a CSV type file?
yes, that is true. However, I am personally a bigger fan of the PDF417 symbology. That is used by FedEx Ground, and others. Even the US Postal Service has started using 2D barcodes as postage, mainly PDF417 and DataMatrix. It is interesting to note that many of those formats, such as PDF417 and DataMatrix are in the public domain, but MaxiCode is a proprietary format only used by UPS.
I give them credit for the attempt to make a "2d barcode" sound like it is somehow more than -- you know -- the one on my box of Lucky Charms.
The difference is that a typical UPC (the barcode on groceries and other products) is a linear (1-dmensional) barcode. It can only store a few digits worth of information. A Matrix Code (aka 2D barcode) can store a lot more information. The article shows an example of a data matrix format code. The data matrix symbology is described at RVSI Acutity CiMatrix. It can store a large amount of data.
I am glad to see someone mentioning the fact that there is no such thing as "Intellectual Property". You are 100% correct that the specific legal entities are Patent, Trademark, Copyright, and Trade Secret.
Indeed. I've been using SSHWebProxy for quite a while at work. My employer blocks all external traffic, so everything has to go through their http proxy. I run sshwebproxy on my apache-ssl server at home, and as far as the proxy is concerned, it is nothing but a web page! The author also makes a cool program called SOHT (Socket Over Http Tunnel) that can tunnel any ip socket over http requests. Again, the proxy sees nothing but http requests, and gladly forwards them on!
it seems that they are possibly against all electonic voting machines, not just closed-source ones. It would be cool if they would approve an open system running on an open os, such as OVC's machine.
We did this once. I was about 13, and on vacation with my family in our 1978 Lincold Contintal Town Car (one of the largest standard prodution cars ever made, so no nimble manuvering). We were driving down the highway in some midwestern city (I don't remember which, maybe Indianapolis) doing about 65 miles per hour, and there was some road construction, nothing serious, until suddenly without warning (or with a warning that we didn't see), there were a bunch of those barrels and a sign that said "Lane Ends". Not "Lane ends 1000 feet", but "Lane Ends". We swerved, and managed not to hit any other cars. We did however run over one of the sand filled barrels. Sand flew everywhere, then the barrel was gone! There was a terrible scraping sound coming from the bottom of our car (remember we were still going pretty fast), so at the next chance, we pulled over at an exit (another annoyance of construction zones is when they have no shoulders), and sure enough, the barrel was being dragged under the car. The car was fine, but we were a little shaken up!
My friend got Harvest Moon -- A Wonderful Life for his gamecube. I have to admit, it is a pretty good story line. The scenario is basically that you have a farm in a small village. You grow crops and raise animals. Part of the story is that you find a wife, and raise a family.
100,000,000 voters can't all have a fill-in-the-blank ballot.
Why not? If your reasons are political, what are they? If they are technical, I submit that this would be a less daunting task than processing income tax returns from every citezen and corporation, and the IRS does that with antiquated equipment.
That does look pretty good. The only thing is that, while it is free as in beer, You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or modify IZArc. While this sounds like just a typical free(libre) software fanaticism, I do actually have a point. I used to use software called powerzip, which was distributed under a similar license. Later on, however they started charging for it and not allowing unlimited distribution. In fact, IIRC, Winzip itself used to be "freeware". The point is that free software can never be made non-free. Long live the GPL! </rant>

ok, my mistake. It looks like reiserfs can grow at mount time, but shrinking requires offline usage. Still very cool though!
ext2 and 3 can be resized (grow and shrink) but must be unmounted
reiserfs can be resized (grow and shringk) but must be unmounted
xfs can only grow, and must be *mounted* to resize it.
jfs can only grow, *at mount time*!
heh, that was one of my favorite things about MGS :-)

of course, that is not the best example, because X is often a suid binary...

Well, then I stand corrected. I thought 7-zip would write them.
yes, the point of my comment was not that winrar was bad per se, merely that 7-zip is as good and free.

I just put it behind a nat box until it's up to date.
I use 7-zip, it is free (speech and beer) and reads and writes most archive formats, including zip, rar, tar, tgz, etc.
There is actually a book called Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study that addresses this point.
yes, $499, IIRC.
