"One of the main objections of a captcha is that an attacker could steal the image file and simply use it on their site (XXX sites...) to get it "cracked"."
You could also just steal the html table code, and show it on another site. It almost easier, since there's no file to deal with.

More distance between the brain and the sensory organs also presents the problem of having greater risk of damage to those (now longer) nerves. With the brain in the head, a blow to the neck can cause paralysis of the limbs. With the brain in the torso, a blow to the neck (or perhaps even lower vertebrae) would cause paralysis of the face, as well as rendering the individual deaf and blind. As bad as it would be to be quadriplegic, I'd take it over the alternative.
As far as I'm concerned, if I'm going to lose my head - my brain may as well go with it.
My reading of TFA was that the Mini was encumbered with an arbitrary limit of 40,000 documents.
The appliance can index 100,000 at the lowest licencing level. Even if you only have 40,000 documents, you need to keep an eye on the crawler, and make some changes if it starts counting pages twice (printable/alternate versions, or multiple pages of single documents perhaps).
Microsoft really needs to hire some real UI artists one of these days.
Personally, i dont need the windows title bar, address bar, etc taking of a chunk of the screen like that. It must be a low res shot but still...
MS likes to make these big screen eating UI's with things that most people never use.
Um, I use Firefox, but IE is just as customizable in that respect. Try F-11 for starters.
This is definately cool, and innovative, but they make a really dumb point in the article. (More than 400,000 American construction workers are injured each year) Would it be better for those workers to be out of work, than to sustain injuries a couple of times in their lifetime? This is great for building housing where no workers could do the job, but not for normal home building.
I built a cedar shed in my backyard today. I could have purchased a pre-made one for the same price, but I had a great time building it myself with a pile of wood, nails, a plan, and the help of my father in law. It's good to be active. It's good to work hard once in a while.
That may be due to "no-fly" zones. I believe the high res close-ups pictures are shot from airplanes, and as far as I know, you can't just fly your plane around the white house without being shot down.

Yahoo buys Flickr

If you examine the source code to Flickr pages, the image URL is provided as an argument to the flash plugin -> it's possible to get the JPEG directly without capturing the screen.
I hate all things Flash - including this. For those of us who have flash turned off / disabled, it's extremely inconvenient. There's no reason that an online image viewer should need to use it. Period.
First of all, you went to the trouble of finding out that the image url is passed to the flash application, but did not realize that they provide that URL in a link next to the picture? Did you also notice that they provide the URL to alternate sizes of the picture as well?
Secondly, Flash is NOT REQUIRED to use Flickr. Turn Flash off, and it still works.
So tell me again about how inconvenient Flickr is to those who are too good for Flash.
...a famous law suit against a software product and it was decided that you cannot patent or copywrite the 'look and feel' of software.... only the code underneath
Precedents aside, the look and feel of software is not always separate from the functionality. The function of a lot of software these days is to make hard things easy, and much of that has to do with the GUI.
Men and Women can perform equally well in Mathematics, but they sure as hell do not learn it the same way. This is not always the case, but anyone who has taught math one on one can tell you that you there is more than one way to teach it, and the way it is taught in schools favours the boys. People can be equally well versed in a subject, but will go about solving problems in different ways. Having some of both in a work environment is invaluable.
What kind of excuse is that? Do you have to patch your brakes, or update your steering defintions on your car just to make it safe to use?
You would if there were thousands of people out there purposely trying to sabotage your brakes, screw up your steering, and trying to install extra components on your car while it is in your garage.
These aren't experiments where half human, half animals are created. They're things like engineering mice with human brain cells, or pigs with human organs.
For the most part, you are correct. However, the article does mention that the goals of one of the studies is to create mice with 100% human brains. He said he intended to terminate the mouse before birth, and look for signs of human cognitive activity. If this experiment succeeds in producing human cognitive thought in a mouse, we most certainly have an issue.
However, I think that if a partial birth abortion ban were to pass, quite a few of the anti-abortion people would relax a bit.
Instead of relaxing, maybe those people could spend some time in a NICU, taking care of the babies who were born and are kept alive in neverending pain because "life is precious". I do not believe in late term abortions (my son was born at 24 weeks gestation, just over 1 pound, and nobody can tell me he was not alive and aware of his surroundings at that stage) but placing a unilateral ban on any type of pregnancy terminations will result in more pain for more people than you could imagine.
IANAIPL (I am not an IP lawyer) but doesn't this statement mean that nobody can make ANY type of baseball game? Not just ones with licensed characters, etc, but anythign having to do with baseball?
I'm pretty sure it's just the players/teams/stadiums that are licensed here. I think EA should create a baseball game with all their licenced football players and teams. NFLB 2005 - The Off-Season.
The US and its citizens are the most generous in the world. I heard someone on the radio complain that most of it is being used here, and only 6% was being sent overseas. Well, when you are donating TRILLIONS, I'd say 6% is okay. The US government (just the government - I don't have figures on private donations yet) already sent $35 million to help the tsunami victims. Maybe that's stingy, but it's a lot more than the $116 THOUSAND the French sent. As long as you're helping your neighbor, that's honorable.

First of all, if you need a book to tell you that you should help people in need, then don't call it morals. Secondly, almost everything you have said is wrong. The US does not come close to donating "Trillions" of dollars to anything. In 2003 The US donated 0.14% of it's GDP (about 15 billion), where France donated 0.41% (ref). Give up on the France bashing. They have given close to $30M so far, as well as provided military assistance.
Get a UPC number off a pack of chewing gum and put the sticker on a mountain bike. The hard part is finding a checker who won't notice. I can't figure out that one.
I think the cashier would notice you paying for the plasma TV with a $5 bill.
That's what differentiates dumb criminals, and the ones you don't usually find out about. You don't swap the code from a $1 item with 1 $3000 item. You take the sticker off a 17 inch lcd, and put it on a 19 inch one. I wouldn't even put the sticker on there permanently. It just has to be the first sticker the cashier sees. Once it's scanned, get rid of the evidence. Walmart is the perfect place to do this. They sell everything, and pay their people nothing, so the cashier will likely not have a clue what you are doing.
They would only be able to return something with the same code and so they would be given the same refund anyway
They probably returned the items without receipts. Many stores will give only store credit, or gift cards in the amount of the lowest sale price for the item when it is returned without a receipt. They still would have made money, and that would account for them having gift cards to sell.
That recent purchase of outdated World War 2 submarines from England still makes me laugh. What did they plan to do with those diesel burning noisy pieces of scrap metal?
Those subs are the among the most advanced conventional subs in the world. They are loaded with the latest technology. Canada was not the only country after them. The bid was accepted because as a Commonwealth nation, Britain could sell the subs without removing top secret technology, and save some money. The subs are not out of date. Britain decided to go with a nuclear fleet, and did not need the conventional subs any longer. Not Nuclear != Not Advanced.
Snapstream's Beyond TV already allows you to do this with their software (as long as you have a software based TV tuner card). You can stream live, or recorded video over the net at a variety of qualities. I can use it to watch live TV from work at a medium bitrate, or stream high quality video over my network to any screen in the house.
It's because your music has nothing to do with it. The money that will come in has nothing to do with what or how you sing. A label can sell anything and have it make money, and once in a while, if the situation is just right, they can make someone with very little talent a superstar.
For every superstar, there are 1000 equally talented people who you have never heard of. When you sign your life away to a label, you are paying for fame you likely would not find without them.
