If I look at an object of [presumably] fixed colour, I actually see slightly different colour tints with each eye.
If it is of any relevance, my Iris' are also not well defined in colour - my left eye is predominantly green, whilst my right eye is obviously more bluey (but nowhere near as blue as a person with "blue" eyes).
I can pass all colour blind tests with, er, flying colours.
Somehow my SQL got screwed after pressing SUBMIT. The where clause was a correct "latitude is less than AND latitude is greater than AND longitude is less than AND logitude is greater than" but it got hosed.
As someone not that familiar with Linux (at the time I read it), it was very easy to read , and handy in helping me secure a Redhat box that hangs off my cable modem.
This is the logical way to go, because people are building entire companies - on which the welfare and custom of many thousands of people depend (i.e. the employees and the customers).
Without legal recognition of your ownership of that domain name, you may as well build your business on quicksand.
Three large British retail companies have recently created a joint loyalty card.
Nectar has been set-up by Sainsbury's (a supermarket), Barclays (a financial services company) and BP (a petrol filling station company).
I didn't mind Sainsbury's knowing that I eat junk, but now that they're telling Barclays what junk I eat I end up with Barclays putting my life insurance premiums up.
I know a lot of people get upset about screwing with nature, but as i've said above, technical progression in our wiring, you cannot stop us scientist types doing it.
Perhaps knowledge gained through weather control could actually _SAVE_ our species, because we can use it to create a suitable environment when we populate other planets.
No need to feel like a horrible person. We're not throwing any balance out of the window, our scientific progression is all part of our nature - and it's all part of the balance.
Just as we are using science to keep our numbers up by;
solving more kinds of infertility
finding cures for previously fatal diseases
increasing our life expectancy
so too is science going to have to kind ways to keep our numbers down; such as screwing with the weather.
I don't think you can stop our technological progression. Nature will still find a balance; don't worry.
You can scare yourself shitless searching for health care information on the Internet. The Onion have run a few stories on this.
Apparently, it's also a pain in the ass for doctors, because patients walk into their surgery having diagnosed themselves on Google and demand a particular treatment.
No need to teach granny to suck eggs, but as someone said above; it's on the Internet - so it has to be true.
Health Care info on the Internet is mostly bad news, because it is almost impossible to distinguish sound peer reviewed medical services from Dr. Nick Riviera's "I'll do any operation $199.99".
If you feel ill or find a lump anywhere, go see a real doctor.
Exactly. I'm don't think of myself as particularly fick, and quite often pop to the USPTO website whenever a dubious patent generates interest, and you see language like this all the time.
I have absolutely no idea what that means. If I were a lawyer having to defend funny patents like this i'd demand that someone explain to an expert jury exactly what it was they meant.
And when it turns out that they can't, the judge can throw the case out of court and get on with something more important.
It can be extremely frustrating when others write you off as mad because they can't hear what you're complaining about.
A few years back now, I purchased a new hard disk. If was a kinda new "high speed" drive, and when I got home and plugged it in it emitted this most excruciating very high pitched whine. There was no way I was going to put up with it so I went back to the store (and took my PC to demonstrate the problem).
Sales guy plugged it in on their test bench in the shop area, and couldn't hear a thing outside of the "normal" sound. "They all make that noise mate".:(
At which point, the manager walked into the store from the back room and shouted out "Je*** Ch**** what's that noise?!!!".
With McDonalds facing up to a loss for the first time in its history, many servers are finding themselves out of work as the burger giant closes stores across the World.
All is not lost though, as many of those who previously spent their day deep fryin' hash browns and pulling milk-shakes are having to instead make do finding work as computer programmers or systems administrator, earning as little as USD 100,000 per year.
The BigMac(TM) bubble has burst, and Fast Food industry analysts predict a year of consolidation before a potential BigMac(TM) revival in 2004. Until then, workers highly trained in deep fat fryers and express lane tills will just have to live as best they can on the salaries of dot com techies.
You can now add a Usenet server as a "Network Place" (Windows 2000/XP). Unlimited upload, unlimited download, they've lost.
Usenet is a very efficient way to distribute large binaries from an ISP's point of view; when the latest blockbuster gets DIVX'd, their subscribers only need download from their news server, not hundereds of expensive connections over expensive external links.
The funny thing is, that companies that advertise like that then go on to claim that the hit count received by their website represents genuine interested visitors.
This of course is BS, but the sadly uneducated tech. media of today write an article about.
X10 did this, I got sick of reading in Computer Weekly etc. how X10 became one of the most visited sites on the Internet.
Slashdot Mirror
It is estimated that over 500,000 have been created over the past 18 months and are now starting up at the rate of about 5,000 daily.
And are receiving their last post ever at the rate of about 7,000 daily.

Anybody know how they've implemented their spatial query when grabbing URLs within $x kilometres of $lat,$lon?
I hope it's not "SELECT * FROM urls WHERE latitude > $a AND latitude $c AND longitude $d;", however based on the slashdotting they've had....
Some guy has already proposed some standard meta-tags for this at geotags.com
Then, as you say, anybody can create a geographic search engine.
"Cracking Linux Exposed", it's a great book.

What is the origin of the cost of bandwidth?
Well, this is a stab in the dark, but at a guess i'd say it was related to the fact that you can't get something for nothing.
This is why environmentalists make me laugh.
SAVE THE PLANET!
Yeah, right, like it's not big enough to look after itself.
Now can someone send the URL of their search page to the USPTO!

Interesting stuff.
you

in
typical

style
?
"Completely automated public test to tell males and females apart".
.....
a/s/l?
"18f,Florida"
Do you mind if I ask you to take a quick Captmfa?
"Sure, go ahead"
Test completed. Result = 34m, Detroit.

if it wasn't for everybody else that works there!
It replaces the tedium of having to write your own form handlers, IO verification and output generation with the tedium of having to learn Struts.

So it's only just out of Beta and all the decent GameTag's have gone!
So it looks like you're gonna be in a deathmatch up against the invincible Bob8347737.
