I think prisoners are entitled to all career advancement options availible. FPS to improve aim, gyms to strengthen the body, and cable TV to find new things to get pissed about.
Its understandable that we have to clothe, feed and give medical care to inmates, but I fail to see where entertainment comes in. I mean when you were a kid and screwed up the first thing your parents did was ban TV, videogames, etc. Can grown up criminals not handle this level of deprivation?
Wasn't there a story a while back about glasses that changed their focus by pumping water between two membranes? I think they were being touted as a solution for poor comunities where the users could sort of self diagnose.
The eternal conflict in the mind of a Slashdotter: MS Hardware - Good MS Software - Bad
Its almost as confusing as whether Apple is evil this week. Or whether Google is becoming or already is evil. I don't know what to think any more, let's just make up our minds and ignore reality from now on.
The longer the voting period, the more potential there is for individuals casting multiple ballots. Yes these problems can be fixed, but they aren't currently. In a few states an ID is not neccessary to vote since that is discriminatory towards people without ID.
In Afganistan they were in an uproar that permanent ink used to prevent this problem wasn't string enough. Here we have huge percentages of voters voting with absentee ballots unneccessarily and people voting without IDs!
If voting periods are lengthened will will continue to see me counties with more votes cast than there are registered voters. And yes these things still happen.
I'm looking at doing some remote GPS tracking, totally non-surveillance. I just want something that will send out an updated position every few seconds. There would be several transmitters and one receiver... What do you use?
Based on friend's experience in this are, I think so much heavy processing goes on in Excel, and is of such a general nature, that specialized tools don't get made.
So he is suggesting that the developers implement technologies that won't be availible on the desktop for at least two years? And then only on one platform?
It sounds like he is wanting them to use these technologies just for the sake of using them, not because there are some great ways they could be used. Besides, doesn't Mozilla already have an XML specification of its GUI?
Descibing how Mozilla could use these to provide truly inovative features would be interesting. THe developers aren't going to use the technologies if they increase OS tie in without providing something truly new.
It may be easier to fix prices in a virtual world (No Cops or raids neccessary). But that does not mean it will not hurt the virtual economy, or that a black market will not appear. Think of all the stories about selling virtual objects and characters on Ebay.
Have you ever installed mozilla? It doesn't get much simpler, granted, mozilla is a very polished project. But mozilla on Linux is just as easy as any install on Windows, tuff to compare wehen IE comes pre installed.
ISP's as a group own the whole problem. But any individual ISP doesn't have enough incentive or control to do anything with out broad based cooperation.
I doubt you would get any interesting information with an optional module since few large sites would accept the performance hits of all that tracking.
I don't have any numbers, but I would imagine personal use is dwarfed by the number sites at hosting companies and there various domain parking services.
No doubt that people are finding ways to distort google results, but don't you think that someone looking for a car part is more interested in purchasing it than adjusting it?
Your Mac Laptop most likely copies the memory to the hard disk as well when it sleeps. Linux has beginning support for this. It is a new feature and not perfect yet, from what I know.
I'm not one of theose people who think that video games make "do things". But I do think that providing entertainment to inmates is dumb. If you want entertainment, at least make it valuable, read a book or something. Like the origional poster said, I don't even own a playstation. I fail to see what benefit the availability of video games has towards rehabilitation.
Typical "Open Source developers have their priorities out of whack" comment. Who says the guys who did this (the port) would consider contributing to Gnome or KDE, who says they have the skills? All of that aside, if you aren't paying these guys, then how can you assign them priorities?
It is also Linux related in that I believe it uses linux kernel modules for hardware support. However I think the kernel itself is written inhouse and has nothing to do with Linux or BSD. What toolchain to suggest instead of GNU?
This is exactly the concept behind virtual folders. The idea is that folders, whether they be in the context of an email program or a filesystem, are actively updated searches. For example, all of your emails could be in one pool, invisible to you. Then each folder would be associated with a rule similar to email filter rules we use now. If an email matches, it shows up, maybe in multiple folders. Bayesian rules allow for even better classifications, if an email is similar enough to several catagories, it can show up in all of them.

Yeah, that sounds pretty bad, rimind me not to go out and kill anyone.

Its not like the FTC is running a casino. What do they have to gain by people losing money?

You mean like optimizing for specific hardware? Is your Windows kernel optimized to your hardware?
Isn't your post called "setting up a straw man"? I haven't heard anyone compare chess playing ability in a computer with general intelligence.

Regardless of the quality of the review, what's wrong with him writing the review, and posting it several places? What difference does it make?

"and I don't see how Perl could help, as numerical processing is certainly not its strength!"
Have you explored PDL (piddle)? I find it to be a very powerful way to manipulated datasets.
