The prohibition has no effect on being able to verify the claim. If you were allowed to disassemble, what would you expect to get out of that? Assembly. You will always get assembly from a disassembler so doing that neither proves nor disproves anything. You would need the original assembly source to compare against. And if you had that, you may as well simply examine it to see that it is all assembly and assemble it to verify that it works.
Having the 32 bit sources available is enough for me to believe their claims about the 64 bit sources also being entirely assembly. Their decision to license 64 bit differently from 32 is a different question altogether though.
100 is the average of the population as a whole. But if you consider any subset of that population, ie. university/college graduates, the average of that subset may be significantly different from the average of the entire population.
That said, I find the claim that US college grads have an average IQ of 95 to be very unlikely. That would be saying that college grads are less intelligent than the general population.
I'm a cyclist and admitedly bend the traffic laws a bit. Less than some, more than others perhaps. I'm not going to attempt to justify doing that. However, on the whole, I believe that I have a better awareness of the traffic around me than drivers do. Knowing that I'm in a vulnerable position relative to those in the cars is incentive to pay attention.
Just the other day I was approaching an intersection in which I had the right of way (no stop sign) and saw a vehicle slow down, the driver looked the other direction, and then continued through his stop sign without looking my direction. I slammed on my brakes and we nearly hit in the intersection. I was travelling downhill roughly at the speed limit and would still look at each intersection I passed to check for bad drivers. I think that would be an uncommon thing for drivers to do.
Since you're doing this for business, you should be paying for the business DSL package. The easiest solution is then to argue that this should not be applied to business packages since it is the home users that are the ones typically doing this.
What about 2007? It's not even half over yet and you're already dismissing it as a possibility. I'm not saying 2007 will be the year, but isn't it too early to tell if it isn't? (Note: I don't use internet TV myself yet)
I registered a.CA domain with them and they were abolutely clueless about it. I didn't receive my inital CIRA e-mail necessary to activate the domain until I filed a support ticket for it. When I tried to renew it a year later, the renewal failed repeatedly. And instead of the support people trying to fix it, they would refund my money and tell me to try again. In several cases they charged me twice. I gave up and transfered away a couple months ago. I still had some money left in their broken 'quick checkout' system that I gave up on ever trying to recover or use. (I tried to use it to register a different domain that never worked either)
I went to the Vancouver demo of this yesterday and it is pretty clear why they couldn't have it available for inspection at an event like this. It is located in a specially shielded room in their lab to reduce signal noise with a cooling system that cools a portion of the computer down to 4mK (extremely close to absolute zero).
Besides, even if I or anyone else there was able to inspect it, do you really think that we could look at it and say "hey, I don't see any quantum effects"
Well I'm glad that there is a lock out security measure. When I saw this new system implemented I immediately could see that it was mathematicaly easier to brute force it by about 6 orders of magnitude. This is discounting the personal identification question which I figured could be obtained by some social engineering or dumpster diving.
I really, really hope that receiving these can be disabled in preferences. Or at least have them do nothing more than add a line of text to the chat. None of that shaking the window around.
Perhaps because mirrordot doesnt cache anything until it is posted on slashdot first. You can't link to something that doesnt exist. And if you do, mirrordot might try to cache a link to its own cache, which is a link to its own cache, which is...
I'm going offtopic but I'm curious what you use to play the video on your palm? Do you use the built in video player, and if so, what do you use to convert video to a format it will play?
What about domain names that are based on a last name? I believe there are provisions for claiming a domain based on your name when it is simply being squatted. Has anyone ever had luck with this?
Yes, this is still dependent on defining what it means to simply be squatting and having no legitimate clame to a domain. Take my name for example: MacPhail.
macphail.net appears to have no legitimate claim to the MacPhail name other than using the domain to host a page filled with links. I am sure there are many other sites owned by the owner of this domain that are the exact same thing. Unfortunately they hide who they are in the whois database by using a company called "Whois IDentity Shield" but the dns servers for the domain give a hint at the real purpose of it: ns1.hitfarm.com, ns2.hitfarm.com. And there is nothing to be found at www.hitfarm.com.
macphail.com seems to have a use for the name in that it resells e-mail accounts under the domain so you can have your own @macphail.com e-mail. This hardly seems legitimate to me but would probably pass in court because they have made a business of it. This bothers me because they are potentially making a profit from thousands of last names they have no claim to other than having registered the domain first.
Anyone ever been able to get their last name out of the grips of a company like these?
I was actually just looking for the code that clears the screen when you log out of a session (because I actually hate the automatic clear screen, and was hoping there was an option for it). I finally gave up in disgust.
Try looking in your.logout file. It isn't done by OpenSSH.
You've interpreted "a few hundred millionths of a meter" incorrectly. The correct way to do it is: one hundred millionth of a meter = 1m/100,000,000 = 10nm
Not one hundred millionths of a meter = 100 * 1m/1,000,000 = 100um
I'm quite happy up here in Canada and this would just give me further reason to not go to or through the US. I hope most Canadian's will have the same attitude towards this.
Do you pay for cable or satellite tv? If yes, then you are actually paying a monthly fee for a service that comes filled with advertisements.
Please understand, it is entirely up to the content provider and/or distributor to decide to put advertisements in their content. In this case, their game.
Unless you are specifically paying for content under an agreement that there will be no advertisements in it (which you're not) you have no right to complain.
Until yesterday I didnt have a TV but wanted to watch the olympics so I bought a TV tuner for my computer. But I'm in Canada so might have access to these. Oh well, now I can watch other things too.
What a debate... I can get a 3G ipod for $5 more than a 4G but it includes the dock, remote, and belt clip. Is the 50% more battery life, changed controls, and $5 cheaper worth the loss of accessories?
Despite Sauruman's absense, the movie still worked. It should be good to put him back in though. I too would have liked the scouring of the shire, but you have to face it, it isnt going to happen. They didnt film it.

I happen to have a copy of this data. If you send me your name and social security numbers I'll check to see if you're on it and let you know.
I did a google search for a restaurant a few days ago and came up with google local results. I didnt realize it was new until now.

And 75% of the people who are told that that believe it.
50% of all bits sent over the internet are 0s. Just cache that and we have a 50% cache hit rate. :)
Funny, I seem to still be able to access port 80 and 21 on my home computer that is connected through telus.
