Her husband, when pressed (cuz it's kinda dopey to complain about bureaucrats being outed...) admits as much.
No he didn't.
"In stating that "My wife was not a clandestine officer the day that Bob Novak blew her identity," Wilson was simply noting that Plame's identity was no longer secret after Novak publicly revealed it."
However, a lot of Windows programs have this tendency to install things that "always run in the background", and that does eat memory and impact CPU load.
Yeah, like every program Apple has ever ported to Windows.
They aren't trying to help.. they're trying to get what they want. It's not the same thing.
Trying to help would be refining the Gnome HIG, for example. Listing applications that violate the HIG (and explaining how).
Instead they basically say "Linux doesn't work exactly like Windows". They even complain about how the OK/Cancel button order is reversed. Funny how that's not proof that OSX isn't ready for the desktop.. since OSX does the button order exactly the same as Gnome.
definately recognizes different body-zones of its models!
I remember standing over a dead body and noticing how if I shoot it in the face, not only does it flop in a certain way, but the face gets special damage.
This guy seems too quick to blame design decisions on engine limitations.
Good to see you still need to click start to shut down.
No no, you're misreading it. You need to "start the shutdown process". Makes perfect sense to me.. especially considering how long it takes to shutdown a machine these days.
Debt collection agencies try to sound tough, but they don't really have any teeth, do they?
One of the first things a debt collection agency does is submit your name to CheckSystems. Try opening an account at any bank with an outstanding debt.
Looking at their whitepaper. This seems to only affect a caching service or proxy.
The attack basically makes the cache think you're requesting one page, but it passes a different request to Apache.
So unless you have some service between your web server and the public, this vulnerability doesn't seem to affect you.
To wit: you ask the cache for Page A with a GET for Page B buried in the header. The cache finds that Page A has expired, and passes your request to Apache. Apache instead serves up Page B, the Cache then sticks Page B's data into Page A's cache.
A few decades ago had the thirsty stranger gotten sick because a water main had burst a few hours earlier, he would've recovered and that would have been the end of it. If that happened today? The kindly home-owner would get sued for everything he's worth.
That's why there are Good Samaratain laws. There are cases of people trying to sue someone for improperly giving CPR (and causing bruised/broken ribs). Good Samaratain laws say that as long as help was offered in good faith, you are not liable for anything that goes wrong.
Imagine the owner of a new drive-in theatre, but he sets up no privacy fence along the back of his lot, which is exposed to a little cafe with outside seating
Here in Tucson there is a drive-in theater where you can see the screen from the street. There's parking along the street. You can park on the street, tune into the audio on your car stereo, and watch the movie.
In fact, this situation seems *exactly* like the WiFi case.
The fact is, people are ticketed for loitering outside the drive-in. This guy was loitering outside someone's house. Getting free wifi has nothing to do with the legality of camping in your car in front of a strangers house. It is illegal. You will get ticketed. You will be asked to move. You have no business there.
Sounds like Sony is a pretty awful place to work. Each department stepping on other departments' toes.
There seemed to be a lot of boneheaded mistakes too. Like targetting the cartoon at little kids in order to sell toys. No wonder the whole thing bombed.
Maybe it is time to use a different term for free-as-in-freedom software so that it generates less confusion
That's what we did back in the mid-nineties. There was a contest to pick a new term so people could differentiate between Free Beer and Free Speech. One candidate was Software Libre.
The result was the creation of the term "Open Source".
Any programmer who can't spell is useless. Especially because he selfishly made it more difficult for his co-workers to maintain that code.
If you make lexical mistakes and let the compiler correct them for you, it's a guarrantee that you also make logical mistakes that no compiler can fix for you.

The AP has already run a correction to the story you link to. Nice try though.
I just want whatever this guy takes daily. Seriously.
I just asked him.. his response was "scratcha-scratcha scr-scr-scratch"
I get a good 20 minutes on my G3 ibook.. beat that!

er... wait.
These people are trying to HELP YOU!
You know what they say about too many chefs.
They aren't trying to help.. they're trying to get what they want. It's not the same thing.

For example, I don't usually even bother with the Applications folder anymore, I just hit Spotlight and type the name of the program.
:)
I do that in linux too.. except instead of using spotlight, I just use a terminal.
Yeah, I goofed up. Born in AZ, I had never heard of Vail. Me bad!
It's just east of Tucson. I live in Tucson, but am so far east, I'm technically in the Vail school district but still inside Tucson city limits.
"hey, let's replace $60 worth of books with $600 worth of fragile computer gear. I'm sure no one will drop one or anything."
If you read the article, you'd see the books cost the school $600 per student.

My car has a manual gearbox, my parents' car is automatic
It's pretty safe to say that everyone who is used to a stick has accidentally jammed on the brakes in an automatic every now and then.
I wouldn't mind paying for a gamepack including a bunch of simple things like checkers, minesweeper, solitaire, bejeweled, bustamove, etc.
You can't get all those games in one, but they are all slated for the DS.
Upcoming:
Checkers, Chess, etc
Bust-A-Move
and Zookeeper (Bejewelled) has been out since January, and Ultimate Card Games (solitaire, etc) has been out for a couple of months.
MRE's have been self-heating for a long time and the heater in them gets really hot in less time...
Oh man, I can't wait until some lawyer gets sue-happy and sues the military for patent infringement.
Then a bunch of marines will issue their response by rapelling down from the skylight and dropping their papers on the CEO's desk.

everything I've read says that Gears of War is an xbox360 launch game. So it'll come out the same day as the xbox360.. november sometime.

How was the guy supposed to know that he didn't intend for the AP to be open to everyone.
The guy was camped out on someone elses lawn for hours.
It's not like he was a neighbor or something. He was sitting in front of their house. The guy finally called the cops at 11pm.
I'd call the cops too if someone were in front of my house on a laptop all damn day.
The device can be set to sense through panels up to 3mm thick, and even through gloves.
I can be set to that, but the ipod isn't. As everyone who's ever tried to use an ipod with gloves has found out.
If they accidentally dragged an icon off the dock, the poof tells them that they just made a mistake
But it doesn't give you the first clue on how to correct that mistake.
The poof is poor design, plain and simple. If I drag an application out of the dock, the poof makes it look like I just deleted that application.
A better design would be to have the icon fly over to your harddrive icon, letting you know where that icon went.. not "poof it's gone".
Does it work?
Form follows function. Except on OSX, where it's the other way around.
