Yeah, well, in a lot of places its say its illegal to smoke grass too. But you know, if the law don't respect the stoners, why should the stoners respect the law?
Same goes for FM reciervers. If the law respected reasonable use of these devices, then it ought to be followed. But as the law in this case is clearly unreasonable, I say, flaunt the law with a clear conscience.
Really, what are the chances of getting busted, anyway?
I like the continuous loop idea. Another way to hose them is to repeatedly fax over a page of black construction paper. It's is a great way to make them use up all their ink.
What's really bullshit is that there were no independenets on the panel. So one third of the country is Democrat, one third is Republican, and the last third doesn't get represented at all....

Interesting topic, but I feel like more than Slashdot commentary to grasp the concepts here. Do you know of a link to a whitepaper or artical or something that explains - with some detail - just how I can get by writing code sans if statements?
Either the unauthorized person was very thorough, or this really was supposed to be GPLed - maybe not released right now, but at some point.
Ok, so assuming that the authors really intended to release this code under the GPL, then there is a pretty good chance that this code contains code borrowed from other GPL products. Given the "viral" nature of the GPL, that means it would be impossible for this code to be released under anything but the GPL.... and hence AOL, copyright holder or not, would be in no position to revoke the GPL license under which it was released.
All somebody has to do is find that piece of borrowed GPL code, and WASTE is in the clear as GPLed Free Software.
Uh, this is a thread about perl scripts running your home. How how exactly does that relate to a British study of the health effects of cannibis?
Just because the previous punchline referenced hash, doens't make a link to "smoking hash is bad for you" relavant. It was certainly off topic the the scope of the overall discussion; in the scope of the previous comment it was still quite the non-sequiter.
I bought a product very similar to the iconic breeze, and it does wonders to cut down on dust in our home. The one I have is called the Gerry Air Purifier. That's "Gerry", as in the baby products company. It was marketed to be put in a nursery to filter air for newborns, but it works just the same as the one for adults, at a lower price.
I didn't get it at Sharper Image, though, it was on special at Wal-Mart.
In no battle was there a clear winner in terms of causualties, and from the beginning it was clear that the North's greater population... and industrialization... was going to eventually lead to its victory.
You would have had a hard time making that point in the winter of 1862, after the battle of Fredericksburg in which the South was clearly the victor terms of casualties (13000 North vs. 5000 South) and strategy, and when the North couldn't even settle on a competent general. It really wasn't untill Gettysburg that anything became clear.
I don't know if the policy has changed, but we were required to say something like, "I'll be honest with you since I don't get commission from these sales."
Why is it salesmen always use the line "I'll be honest with you..."?
You know, if you are about to get my business, you dam well better be honest with me. A line like this only throws up a big, blinking red flag that maybe all along you've been feeding me a whole line of bull.
Don't forget that people who voted for Ralph Nader are also partly to blame. Their ballots apparenly split the sun's gravitational field, which obviously contributed to all this overheating.
In terms of being more appropriate technology, yes, tar is better for the purpose than zip. In terms of being something that the average luser will be able to figure out how to use, zip is by far the better choice.
Zip is easy, people recognize zip. People use WinZip. Windows XP's treatment of zip files is so similar to treatment of directories, a lot of people might not even notice the difference.
Tar is confusing; people aren't used to it. Non-techies don't know what it is, much less what circumstances it is a more appropriate technology for the purpose than zip. People don't have, or don't know they have, software that can handle tar.
The word "Zip" reminds people of bringing things together, of speed and efficiency. Of zip disks. The word "Tar" reminds people of black, sticky goo.
Ultimately, tar (and.gz,.bz2, etc) is for geeks, and.zip is for everyone else who doesn't want to hassle with having to know about a bunch of differnt file formats.
It would be nice if more users were educated as to why tar is a better option, but they are not. Anythingbox is just trying to distribute their music; they could use.tar to make it a teaching moment, or they could use.zip, which everybody understands, and appeals to the widest possible audience.
So for this application - precious seconds of compression time be dammed - zip is better.
I remember when ICANN was announcing the finalists for the new TLDs a few years back,.i was the only one I though was any good. The purpose of.i was to be a TLD strictly for individuals. Then when the new domains were announced,.i apparently had been dropped from the list. I never did see an explanation..i was a far more badass idea for a TLD than.name will ever be. I have far too much pride to own a.name domain, but.i is short, simple and cool, and I'd probably own one today if they were available.
My wife and I have banned Valentines Day from the relationship. Since it's a faux holiday anyway - brought to you by Hallmark - we decided that we would be better off expressing our love for each other on every other day of the year, forgoing the pricy sentimental pap that comes around every February 14.
And yes, I am blessed to be with a woman who shares my point of view on that issue. In fact, it was her idea.

Protecting our copys could be a usefull thing, but this is about preventing copys. At the expense of fair use copy rights, the only thing this protects is Sony's market power - in which case it might better be phrased as copy MONOPOLZATION.
While looking for available domain names, I came across OpenTrivia.com. I like the spirit of what he is doing, though the license is a little more restrictive than what I would prefer.
Much as you suggested, it uses XML to allow people leeway on structuring a quiz. It doesn't offer multiple choices, though. Thats not really a concern for the Trivial Pursuit application, but still, I'd like to have it as an option.

I used to tutor the SATs, and the company I worked for charged $54 an hour for my services. At those rates, our clientelle wasn't exactly in poverty.
But I did my job well and it wasn't unusuall to bring a kids score up by close to 200 points.
Poverty may not "justify" poor performance, but higher scores can certainly be had if the parents care to shell out the money.

I would sugest you post it in html, with links to the other formats. Make it THAT much easier for people to see your resume.

Suburban Maryland. None to be seen in the DC Area.... but maybe its because of all the traffic.
While they allegedly exist, I have yet to actually see one on the street.
And yet Amazon promises to deliver them any month now...
