2nd that. I've used ACE on Winnt, Solaris, HP/UX 10.20 and 11, and Linux. I'd also recommend reading Schmidt's various papers on design patterns. Many of these are implemented in ACE and greatly cut down on design/coding time as well as bugs in the code.
I've never understood how the VOIP cos. expect to survive long-term. VOIP is just another TCP/IP protocol like ftp or smtp. The only reason a VOIP connection requires a third party provider is because most of the phone network is still POTS and so VOIP cos are essentially brokers between the POTS and the internet. But eventually, most calls will be peer-to-peer across the internet just like most other IP protocols and there will be no need for VOIP cos.
This makes the whole wiretap thing moot. The VOIP cos. won't survive anyway, so who cares if they die a little earlier because of some silly wiretap requirements?
But there is an accent, at least in the way words are used. Indians use the word reputed where we would use the word reputable. For American readers of/., it is not unusual to see adverts in Indian newspapers with text like Reputed Engineer Seeks Wife. For Indian readers of/., Americans use the word reputed to mean alledged as in John Gotti is a reputed mobster. One day while reading the Deccan Herald I saw them refer to the New York Times as a reputed newspaper in the United States. Which is either the truth or a funny insult depending on your point of view and place of origin.
From Dictionary.com you'll see that a Documentary has two definitions:
1. Consisting of, concerning, or based on documents.
2. Presenting facts objectively without editorializing or inserting fictional matter, as in a book or film.
Um, Those are the adjective definitions. Try the noun:
A work, such as a film or television program, presenting political, social, or historical subject matter in a factual and informative manner and often consisting of actual news films or interviews accompanied by narration.
Nothing in this def says a documentary can't have a point view. Also, dictionary.com, while convenient, is the Reader's Digest of dictionaries. If there are any subtleties in a definition, you won't find them there.
when was the last time you talked to an Al Qaeda Cleric
i'm williing to bet money NEVER so who are you to talk about their ideology?
You might lose. The last time I talked to an Imam on his own turf was in a place called Kargil about halfway between Srinigar and Ladahk while hitchhiking in Indian Kashmir (These aren't my photos, someday I'll get around to digitizing my slides). I had a really interesting conversation over dinner with a group of men at a small teahouse on the main drag. The owner had a big poster of the Iranian Ayatollah Khomeini w/ a Death to America caption on his wall. They didn't really have anything against individual Americans, in fact, they were very polite and seemed as curious about me as I was about them, but they were also not very happy with America the country.
The last I heard the road is closed to tourists. Kargil was the area where Muslim guerillas were inflitrated into Indian Kashmir and nearly caused another all out Indo-Pakistan war in 1999. The town was shelled by Pakistan during the fighting. The area where I was treking was close to where several Europeans were taken hostage and killed by local militants not long after I was there.
I've traveled in Pakistan and Bangladesh and many other Muslim countries. When I was an undergrad I had Iranian friends who had to wear masks while protesting against the Shah before the Iranian Revolution because the Shah's secret police were routinely trying to photograph dissenters. I know people who humped medical supplies through Pakistan to the Afghan border for Drs W/Out Borders during the Soviet invasion. I went to grad school with folks from Saudi Arabia who taught me just how little regard the Saudi middle class has for their royals. Today I hang out with people who fled Iran due to the oppression of the Ayatollas ("Meet the new boss, Same as the old boss"). I was back in South Asia picking up my newly adopted 18 month old daughter 6 weeks after 9/11. We flew home across Pakistan and Iran just to the South of Afghanistan while US bombers were striking Afghanistan. Shit, boy, I've been watching the Middle East and South Asian powder kegs since you were in diapers.
I don't really don't need a lesson in ethics from some 19 year old sophomore who has likely never lived outside his native Nebraska or Bavaria or wherever you're from.
i hate my country because of all the blood sick idiots like yourself.
You are young and naive. Al Queda will kill anyone who disagrees with their sick idiology including you and your loved ones. But you probably won't truly understand that until it is your spouse or parent or child who has been killed by them.
the irony
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
So, do you believe that there is a point at which a certain number of accidental deaths (which are inevitable in war) are as bad as a given number of purposefully-inflicted ones?
Why don't you ask Muqtada al-Sadr, the old Bath Party hardliners, and the Al Queda wannabes who are mostly responsible for those deaths.
After all, without the US/allied presence, there would be no crossfire to be caught in.
Far more Iraqis died at the hands of Saddam's sadistic children than were accidentally killed during the course of US military operations. Without the US presence, the crossfire would be from Iraqi Secret Police firing squads.
No. Perhaps 10K civilians have died in Iraq. That is bad, I agree. But many of those were killed outright by Iraqis terrorists or were killed because they were caught in crossfire during gunbattles between the US and insurgents. I seriously doubt any were deliberately killed by US GIs run amok. There is a world of difference between the Iraqi civilian deaths and the World Trade Center attacks.
Again completely failing to understand the situation. The issue for the Palestinians is that in 1948 the majority of them were forced out of what became Israel by what the serbs called ethnic cleansing. Then after the 1967 war the remaining Palestinian territories were invaded by Israel which has occupied them since and has been illegally attempting to annex them through the settler movement.
There is blame enough to be heaped on both sides. Go read up on the Arab pogroms against the Jews in places like Hebron and Safed during the 1920s.
A substantial group of native americans decides to join up, claim a part of the USA as their own independent country and kick out a large number of the non native americans living in the area.
The analogy is not exact enough. Suppose those Native Americans began peacefully buying land and settling with the announced intention of creating their own enclave and the locals started terrorizing them before they created their enclave? I object to many Israeli policies, but I don't have a lot of sympathy for the locals either.
Someone used to have a.sig that about matched my position on Israel v. Palestine:
Lock Ariel Sharon and Yasser Arafat in a room with a butcher's knife on a table. Whichever one emerges alive will then be charged with murder.
We did not dehumanize them. They dehumanized themselves. I have no objections to slaughtering Bin Laden and his ilk. Its not much different than slaughtering the German SS during WWII. There are certain people who have forfeited their right to exist.
In MI, you can call up the local cops and have them give your relative a REAL drivers test, not that "Can you see the 4 biggest letters on the screen? OK, Pass" that is the usual renewel test even for 92 year olds. Fortunately we didn't have to go that far.
My mom and her cousins just told my 92 year old Aunt that they were not going to allow her to drive any more. She wasn't very happy, but went along. If your 85 year old grandma really needs to have her license revoked, then revoke it. Don't blame the State of Indiana because you failed to take responsibility for your family member.
First car I owned was a 64 t-bird. It had a blown power steering hose and Ford didn't make them anymore. I found a small local hydraulics shop that crafted a custom hose for a couple of dollars. I'm skeptical that you could get custom brake shoes given the potential libility issues, but I'll bet there are lots of small local metal shops that will bend you a new fender, no pun intended.
Your neighbors don't want to smell dog shit. It isn't unreasonable for a new industrial site to have to prove that they will not be impacting the rights of their neighbors.
pay $20K to cut down 5 trees.
Or pay $50K to the hospital after you break some bones trying to do it yourself. Oh, Wait! You forgot to buy health insurance and so now the rest of CA will have to absorb the cost of your emergency visit.
Pay $10K to get building permit.
When the building collapses in the next earthquake, who is going to compensate the families of the employees who died? Better to make sure up front that you are not going to end up dumping those costs off on the rest of us.
Spend 6 months taking classes to get your dog kennal license.
Got any idea how many cruelty to animals cases there are in the US every year?
What you think of as freedom conveniently ignores the fact that almost anything you choose to do with your property will have adverse impacts on others. The higher the population density, the more severe those impacts are likely to be simply because there are more people nearby who will be negatively effected by you, thus the need for more adjudication between neighbors. What all of those permits do is to better define your property rights along with those of your neighbors. If people think Idaho is more free than California, why aren't Californians moving to Idaho in droves? Because Idaho isn't more free. It simply has a lower poplution density and so all of the potential court cases between neighbors arguing over property rights haven't been necessary yet.
Bzzt! The spectrum used by cellular was sold to the companies via public auction and is considered private. The spectrum used by TV was loaned to the stations and so is still public. Thanks for playing!
They are broadcasting it over publicly owned airwaves. If they want to use OUR spectrum to broadcast their material, they must allow the material to be copied. If they don't want to do that, they should return their broadcast licenses. This is the rent that they should be forced to pay for using a public resource.
Probably varies from state to state. In Ohio, I have never had a notary record anything which they kept. They only put a seal on the document which I was having notorized and looked at my driver's license or passport to make sure I was who I claimed I was.
There are two main steps. Firstly, when you join the ECCP, you will be asked for some identifying details, including the number of a nationally recognised piece of ID, such as a passport. We will protect your details according to our Privacy Statement.
CAcert has no direct way to check that (for example) passport number ABC123456 really belongs to you. So in the second step, you meet up with some members of the Assurance Programme, who have already convinced CAcert of their identity. These 'Assurers' check your identifying details, and confirm to CAcert that you are who you say you are. You will need at least two Assurers to confirm your details in this way - this strengthens the integrity of the Assurance Programme's 'web of trust'.
I do not want to give them a Nat'l ID number. In fact, there should be no reason to do so. There is already an infrastructure in place for validating my ID and paper signature. They folks who do this are called Notary Publics. And they have their own web of trust similar to a Certificate Authority's.
Two years ago, my wife and I adopted a little girl from India. Lots and lots of paperwork involved. Most of which had to be signed and verified by a notary. The notary looks at your ID and then adds their stamp on top of the signature. The notary does not keep any of your ID numbers on file.
Some of that paperwork had to go through a second level of verification. We had to take the signed and stamped papers to our local courthouse where the County Clerk then verified that the notary was legit. This was then taken to the State of Ohio where they verified the County's verification. Its been awhile, but we might, IIRC, have had to get another level of certification from the US State Dept since we were sending the documents overseas.
So why not just use the infrastructure already available for verifying the identity of a requestor for a certificate made to a cert authority? No need for a CA to keep my Nat'l ID on file.
As for graphics, images, documents, etc, I never usually have those associated with the db in the first place. Keep em on the filesystem with the web tier stuff. Do you really put this stuff in the DB?
Yes, almost anytime you have mug shots of people (e.g. HR, FBI terrorist suspects, etc.) they go in a db along with the rest of the individual's HR record. And it isn't that unusual to store documents in a db, either.

Al-Sadr and infact most Shia Iraqis were happy to see Saddam go. However they are not happy that the US is still occupying their country.
70% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
It now appears that the reports that Saddam killed 'hundreds of thousands' were wildly overestimated.
