Unfortunately, I can't this rubbersheet plugin anywhere, neither in the rpms from the site, nor the source package I have compiled up. Both nip 7.8.8. I can find the rubbersheet batch stuff, but nothing that looks like a binary plugin. Am I doing something stupid, or is it really not there?
Also, is there a page where all the nifty scripts/plugins that people have made can be found? If there isn't, do you think there should be?;)
The dupe was from a few hours earlier, and it was on the front page.
If it had been buried in a subsection several weeks ago then I wouldn't say a thing but you can't really excuse this which shows just how little attention the "editors" pay their site.
You certainly deserve your reputation as the most responsive/. editor, but really, how do you expect any of us to read the site when it is clear known of you do?
True. The UK Govt ignored millions of people who were against he colonisation of Iraq and went to the trouble of a public demonstration about it. Why the fuck should they care about a few thousand tossers who feel so strongly about something that the best they can do is whine about it on the Internet?
- have British troops in it for a spot of target practice?
- simulate the use of performance "enhancing" drugs?
- have scenarios where troops stand by as national treasures are looted?
- have scenarios where troops stand by as ministries are looted so a few weeks later they can say "well, we can't find any evidence of <whatever> because the documents were destroyed"?
- stage faked rescues so the folks back home have something to cheer about?
Pedo Townsend wasn't cleared, he was cautioned. That means that he admits guilt, he is on the sex offenders list for 5 years, and he has a sample of his DNA taken, but that he doesn't go to prison (thank being a relatively famous musician for that).
Better that Pete Townsend gets screwed over than the children whose images he looked at.
Yes he should be able to research any subject, but paying good money to subscribe to a child porn website is not the way to do it. I remind you that he wasn't writing a book about "child pornography on the 'net".
There are legitimate ways to research. He could have got in touch with child protection agencies or even the police. Unfortunately, he did exactly the same thing as people who get off on pornographic pictures of young children. Why shouldn't he have been prosecuted?
The defence used by companies is that if the price is obviously unreasonable, then it isn't a valid sale. In the Argos case, £299 TVs were sold for £2.99. No one in their right mind would think that was a valid price.
However, there was a similar case where Kodak were selling cameras for "a very special price", I think a £360 camera went for £180. In this case, it was much harder to claim that the price was an "obvious mistake".
I would provide links for these above cases, but I'm lazy. Some karma starved/.er can track them down if he wants.

They will rip off everybody else's intellectual property while they are developing, and then impose their own draconian copyright/patent laws when they have something to protect.
And of course, once these laws are enforced, they will sit back, and not bother to release any decent stuff.
Have something like what Steven Hawking uses. It shouldn't be too complicated to build either.
What I can envisage is something that builds the words on screen, and outputs them to something like Festival. You could script this yourself with perl or python or something. Something like a Toshiba Libretto would be the perfect form factor.
The biggest problem would in fact be data entry. Obviously, any standard keyboard's keys would be too small to be usable, and any keyboard with 2" square keys would be too big. So the best bet would be to pry off the 80 odd existing keys, and replace them 10 to 20 large keys (making them is an excercise left to the reader), and set up some kind of key chording. If you get hold of a word list (and add any personal words, ie a names list, etc) you could also set up some kind of type ahead scheme.
While those pages are loading, how can you say you are a webdesigner, when you haven't learnt that web pages are not wysiwyg? I bet your pages look shit.
In any case. Don't specify Arial, or at the very least, specifiy it last. Put "san serif" in the list in front. Arial is an abomination, and should be killed. If you want Helvetica, say so, but don't ever imagine that Arial can take the place of Helvetica.
I'm curious. What benefits does contributing to Slashdot give? Is it just the tingly feeling of helping them out? Lord knows, it hasn't raised the quality of the editing!

Save journey time of 3 hours per day
Save travel expenses
Save travel frustration (delays, crowds, mobile phone idiocy, etc.)
Be fresh and alert when you start work
Feel better at the end of the working day
Be at work promptly each day
You would also find that you will get better connectivity than 56kbit.
Well, if he can't find who originally created the image and therefore get permission, he has no right to use it, does he?
Does this game...
- have British troops in it for a spot of target practice?
- simulate the use of performance "enhancing" drugs?
- have scenarios where troops stand by as national treasures are looted?
- have scenarios where troops stand by as ministries are looted so a few weeks later they can say "well, we can't find any evidence of <whatever> because the documents were destroyed"?
- stage faked rescues so the folks back home have something to cheer about?

Let me guess: you've recently bought an Intel chip (a 2 ghz Celeron maybe?) and you want to convince yourself that Intel are still the best?
Ahem, even in realtime, a three hour DVD is still going to take "hours" to rip and encode.
It would be more like a slashdot economist to consider such a company a "looser"

Good thinking. I'll just give Norbet Dentressangle a call, and see if I can get a quote.

The simple way is to put a $30 tax on the initial purcahes of a new computer.
Why should someone who holds on to a machine for a long time subsidise those whose dick goes limp if his machine is 6 months old?
...as what happened in the US.
They will rip off everybody else's intellectual property while they are developing, and then impose their own draconian copyright/patent laws when they have something to protect.

All in all, very doable, and fairly inexpensive.
So? Follow the match on own chess board - a far more satisfying experience.
Using computer generated 3d to visualise a board layout is no more useful than having colour in newspaper's chess column.
You are obviously not old school enough to recognise the Shoeboy stalking Heidi Wall reference.
While I'm here, what the hell does "nondeterministic finite automata" mean, and is Larry's $2 crack the same stuff that moderators are often on?
All in all, a top class post, worthy of being modded way beyond the +3 it is currently on.
The man on the street has real rights, and global corporations have to respect that.
Do not use Arial. Arial is a pig ugly font. It does not look like Helvetica. It is a second rate knock-off.
Read this and this, and don't use Arial again.

Then they shouldn't hang out there. As it is, are these peoples lives so meaningless, that they have to get themselves worked up over a game?
