I did notice that lots of images disappeared, but it seemed to have something to do with cookies on my computer, the 'safe' mode was turned on. After clicking bayimg settings page to 'view all images', all the missing categories were restored.
Not true at all. The recent torrent page does show pr0n and if you go to the pr0n category directly you can download as much pr0n you want without having account on TPB.
The reason copyright can apply is that while you do something to the CSS you usually have to copy some parts of the DVD to memory, thus you need permission from the copyright owner to do that. Atleast the R/MAFIAA likes to think so.
I am just wondering, but is it normal (in USA) for companies to charge your creditcard directly for subscriptions? What do you do if you don't have a creditcard? Can't they just send you a bill that you pay by going to the bank/from web bank/with ATM machine?
Actually, IIRC, if you want to have a working backup of a DVD you need to strip (thus decrypt) the CSS from the disc. This is because you cannot write some of the required CSS data on consumer DVD-+R/RW media (the area where the CSS key should be is filled with zeroes or something like that).
Perhaps you could set the used character encoding while connecting to the database. Atleast PostgreSQL supports this, though it will actually do a conversion from Unicode to Latin1 in this case and barf an error if it cannot map some Unicode chars to Latin equivalents.
Most likely they can detect you if you are using the same browser for adminstrating AdWords and clicking on them on your website via cookies or something. Google does seem to share that info between sites they operate. Like at some point Youtube began to greet me with my own name even though I had never registered there but I do have a Gmail account.
I prefer CFLs, not because they might be better for the environment, but because I hate to change the lightbulbs.
There seems to be huge difference between different brands/models of CFLs. I have 2-3 years old ones that are made by Philips and they turn on in a fraction of a second, give good spectrum of light and also are at maximum brightness instantly (well, perhaps at 90% or so, but I cannot see the difference). I recently bought new CFLs of some random brand and they give blueish tint and take about 1-2 seconds to turn on, but atleast they were cheap. I use them in places where it doesn't matter that much, like in the storage room and hallways.
Humm.. Usually plasma-TVs have half file of 50000+ hours at which point their maximum (I currently use only 1/3rd of maximum brightness and it is bright enough for me) brightness is half of which it was when purchased. After that it will still be probably usable for atleast 25000+ hours (and if you don't use it originally at max settings you get longer usage) so based on this the price per minute would be only about $0.02-0.03 a minute.
Sure they can, they just cannot copy information from the indexed sites and show that to you. So when you do a search, you just get a list of URLs as a result.
You could probably use alpha channel information to select how much each block in the JPEG is compressed.
I've been using Ulead Smartsaver Pro for years now and it allows me to specify either colors or select areas and then choose how much that area gets emphasized, like using 80% of the filesize for the face and 20% for the rest of the image. Very handy when building websites and the AD really wants to put a 1000x1000 pixel image on the frontpage and you try to make it load as fast as possible and still look good.
Sometimes I also make GIFs with 512 or 1024 colors as they can be much smaller than truecolor PNGs.
Pretty solid video. I just want to add two things. First, the IEEE page says:
Your attention is called to the fact that the firms and numbers listed may not always be obvious in product implementation. Some manufacturers subcontract component manufacture and others include registered firms' OUIs in their products.
And second, though not sure about Macbooks and OSX, but often you can change your MAC address, though it would be silly to change it to Apple's OUI.
So there is a small possibility that the video was real. Perhaps the shot where you see the Terminal.app was filmed at a later time, quite probable if they only used one camera for filming the demo.
humm, I was running Windows 3.1 (or was it 3.0) on my first PC, a 80286 8MHz with two 21MB hard drives and 2,5MB of ram. It even had a expensive SVGA capable displaycard. Anyways, I used a virtual desktop to run programs on 9 different screens and it was pretty fast, it wasn't even swapping that much. Still, I was envious to my friend who got a 80386sx-16MHz and could play Wolf3d at full screen mode.
True, but to me the color accurancy of objects in my house is not that important. Only thing I need to be color accurate are my monitors that I regularly calibrate.
This varies between bulbs and over the life span of a bulb. We recently bought some Tesco Value energy saving bulbs, and they take around 5-10 minutes to hit full brightness; it you're not spending long in the room it's not even worth turning them on.
So I guess it depends on the manufacturer of the bulb alot. Mine turn on in about a second or less (instant) and are instantly so bright that I cannot tell if they are 99% of maximum or just 80%. So in practice, I don't have to care if it takes a day to reach maximum brightness levels as I cannot see the difference. They might also get dimmer after years of usage, but still, I cannot see that. They seem to create enough light to my needs.
Heh, and Tesco Value bulbs don't sound very high quality. I think I am currently using Philips CFLs and for me they've been good or even better than normal incandescent bulbs.
Now please explain why you're apologizing for PHP and making excuses for why register_globals is still part of the language
I am not apologizing, perhaps I am just stupid or something, but I really don't see the problem with register_globals. Perhaps you could point me to some well written article on why it is so fundamentally bad design.
That's ironic, because people often repeat the myth that PHP makes it easy to interface with the database. Easy but deadly. The reality that PHP has horrible database handling is what's causing PHP programmers to defect to Ruby on Rails (which has ActiveRecord) in droves.
And I said, database handling is what in my opinion sucks the most in PHP. Some anonymous commented about Pear:DB and PDO, and PDO looks at a glance to be quite an improvement, so perhaps PHP6 gets it right...
For beginners register_globals can create nasty suprises, but for those who know that it is on and write the code accordingly, I don't see what is the problem with register_globals being enabled.
One of the biggest problems currently with PHP is the lack of good database module with support for multiple different database engines with things like prepared statements.
Or even better, run dselect, pick the PHP modules you like, install, done. Apt-get might work, but I only use it for one thing, to install joe to a clean Debian installation to edit/etc/apt/sources.list.
CFLs do work with dimmers, but you must get ones that are especially made for dimming, otherwise you get very short lifespan on the CFL. Not that I have any dimmers, I watch my movies in a dark room.
Also, almost half of the lights in my home are CFL, and during last 3 years I've had to change 1 CFL and about dozen or two normals ones.
It probably takes about 30 seconds until CFL reaches the maximum brightness, but for me 90% brightness is usually enough for anything that I need to do within that timeframe.
Basicly the only reason that I haven't changed all my lights to CFL is that I have still 50 old lightbulbs left, but once they are gone, I'll switch to use only CFL. Except for my outside lamps, CFL really don't like winter and temperatures of -30C or more. They often just die in a week or so. Though some people have been lucky and their CFLs have lasted a winter or two.

Just tested the first of his links and got an RPM and TAR.GZ. So I'd say he was right.
That would be 640Ki columns, 640K columns is 640000.

Also I am not sure, but I doubt that OS X Software Updater allows you to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard.

And then they would sue their customers :)

Okey then, modding you down for a bad joke. Oh, dang. Can't mod after posting.

So, most likely a fake.

Humm, she doesn't look bad at all. Not perhaps Hollywood quality anymore, but still better than majority of ./ can get.
