We are talking about a space elevator here, something thats so far beyond our current capabilities its like the Wright Brothers talking about building a 747 (in both cases the concepts and capabilities exist, but in severe infancy). When we have the capability to actually build one of these things, a thousand mile multilane undersea highway or mass transit system will be childs play.
You are assuming the luxury of being able to break down the job roles in such a manner, unfortunately its something the vast majority of small to mid level businesses simply cant afford to do.
His point was that you use the WYSIWYG editor to create the initial mockup, see how it looks and feels, and then code it from hand - you throw out the WYSIWYG editors code entirely, all you are after is the visual 'OK' before starting the actual coding yourself.
Personally, I *always* mockup in Fireworks prior to doing anything. Get the look and feel of the site perfect, then handcode the html. Its significantly easier to move around something in a graphics package or WYSIWYG editor than it is in handcoded html, especially if you are doing it a dozen times an hour.
Well actually this is off the back of a 30 month campaign, 50,000 signature petition and many MPs backing the mother of a victim of a deranged murderer whoes pasttime was viewing violent porn on the internet of the exact manner in which he killed this womans daughter. Its right there in the linked article.
This is anything BUT kneejerk legislation based on media headlines, its coming up from grassroots victims of crime.
My point stands - information COULD NOT CARE LESS (yes, thats the correct usage of the term) whether its the only copy of itself in existence, or whether its one of a billion zillion copies. It doesnt give a flying toss. It really doesnt.
If I put a bit of paper with my latest writings on a table in a bar, its not going to order a drink, its not going to amble off and see the sights, its not going to decide to take a holiday. Its going to sit there and to NOTHING AT ALL. Until someone else picks it up and decides what to do with it.
So please stop this 'information wants to be free' hippy shit, its people that make the decisions and carry out the actions.
Information is information. All you are doing is fudging the definition in these cases so it fits YOUR OWN views and beliefs.
A song is not released into the public domain, that term has its own legal definition and is totally seperate from what actually happens, which is that rights holders have their rights protected by law (just the same type of law that allows you to leave your car in a carpark with a reasonable expectation that it will remain there while you are away).
You have no inherent immediate entitlement to the items under these protections.
Can I have your ATM card number and PIN please? How about your Slashdot account password? DO you think your Doctors notes and medical history would look good pinned to the company notice board?
Information does not want to be free, its a non entity. People want access to information, and some would like it on their own terms and noone elses.
In the UK we have similiar numbers of selections, but we have a more sane approach - dont hold all the elections on one day. Usually the General and Local elections will fall on the same day once every 4 - 6 years, but usually theres two or three elections spread out over a year. Max Ive had to choose from is 9 candidates over 2 ballots.
Probably because a second commit cannot be scheduled on data that already has an outstanding commit scheduled, so the second sync will block until the commit becomes free, schedule the second commit but why which time it doesnt mean much.
Thats my point, the article assumed the worst possible scenario for the terrorists in carrying explosives onboard, inthat they had to manufacture them onboard. Theres been no indication in the investigation that this was what was supposed to have happened, by all accounts the liquid explosive was premade so I dont know where they got the 'smuggling the benign precursors' from. As noted in my post, this is very feasible as its already been done and it looks like this is a rerun of that AQ project.
No, a trial run was successfully completed in December 1994, with a 1/10th power liquid explosive device assembled from parts in the lavatory. The bomb killed one person on the next flight, but if the operation hadnt been disrupted, the full power bombs could just as easily have been smuggled onboard and the 11 planes would not have survived.
Who said anything about brewing the explosive onboard?
I suggest everyone reading this thread go and read the story about Philippine Airlines Flight 434, onboard which a liquid bomb was smuggled as parts, assembled in the aircraft toilet and hidden under a seat in the lifejacket container, with a Casio watch timer mechanism. On the next flight, when it had been missed during the routine cleanup, it exploded killing the seats occupant and only narrowly avoiding a pressure vessel breach of the aircraft itself.
The bomber was Ramzi Yousef, a noted AQ mastermind, the explosive was a liquid nitroglycerin and the bombing was a trial run with a 1/10th power explosive. The target was 11 international flights over the Pacific on one day in 1995.
Now sit there and say that this plot can be dismissed because of a lack of credability.
I can blame these people, they blindly put private and confidential information into a search box on a webpage. If they did it with AOL, who else did they do it with? These people have no understanding of the web, and yet they still submitted personal information to other peoples hands - how can they have any expectation that that information would have continued to be privileged? Im quite right in saying that the search engine string is now in the referrer logs of any website they visited from the results, so the information was already well beyond AOL. There is a level of personal responsability with your data.
If the data contained all of this, then so do the referrer logs of millions of webservers that get redirects from Google, AOL, Yahoo, you name it. This case highlights the sheer idiotic stupidity of users in the first place, typing their own personal information into a BOX on a SCREEN they *know* is connected to the internet, and expecting the data to remain 'secret'. Idiots, the lot of them. Im not saying AOL should be exonerated from all wrongdoing, but users have to take some blame for this themselves.
Yes, we found a shell here, a canister there. But the problem is that the findings in no way matched the capability discussed as a precursor to the invasion and noone in their right mind can consider the items found justification for said invasion - yes, Iraq was commanded to destroy their Sarin stocks, but one shell does not indicate that they didnt. Substances are incredibly easy to lose, after all in recent years forgotten dumps have been found in France, off the coast of British Columbia, in Delaware, Spring Valley Maryland, literally all over the western world.
A year? I last bought Tiger in April 2005, Leopard will be released in 2007, nothings been released in 2006. By my count, its an upgrade every 2 years.
Theres no Intel version of the Family Pack, the included DVD is not Universal. Thus it can be argued that the licenses included dont extend to the Intel version, since that isnt the product included.
They do, dont they? There was a story last year about a student being caught releasing his ADC 10.4 developer seed, with it being tracked back to his ADC account and ultimately him. Distinctly remember a couple of stories on here about it.
Did you also catch the little bit about FIVE previous battery fires on airplanes in the last two years? One in a UPS jet destroyed the plane after landing. One had to be chucked out before take off. The other three FAA cases were not so interesting, except for the fact that smoking batteries now placed in cargo holds will take the plane down instead of being contained because the Department of Homeland Security is saving us all from exploding laptops. Do some research on the gruesome details of the ValueJet crash sometime. It was caused by a fire in the cargo hold and people were really outraged at the that someone would put an obvious fire risk down in the cargo.
Do you know how many aircraft movements there were in FAA airspace in 2004/5? 5 events over 2 years is statistically insignificant, particularly considering the hundreds of other onboard fires by numerous other causes. Laptop batteries are not something to worry about.
Maybe there is some validity in saying they (Port 25) are untrusted, but what excuse is it that Redhat ceased updates for v9 in 2004, a mere year after the product was released (March 31 2003). Seriously, is a single year of updates good enough? I think they actually have a valid point on that one at least, a year isnt long enough to even be considered stable server software in my book.

Theres more than one type of asbestos, and they arent all dangerous.

Why does one body get to decide whats opensource and whats not? The OSI is not an international standards body by any measurement.

We have had a threat level indicator since the 1960s, when the 'Troubles' began in Northern Ireland.
