You need control, shift, and option-click all over the place in Photoshop... long one of the "killer apps" for the Mac. In other apps I've run into as much as 2-keys-chorded-plus-double-click.
Dude, he is IN HIS CAR. Why would you need photoshop IN YOUR CAR?
I don't get it. I mean, they State Dept. could easily have a reader connected to a network which passes along some hash which is stored on the card, to a server which would verify what passport they should be looking at. Slow? Wtf kind of technology are they using where 64K of stuff would take any time?
Bad analogy. You can easily use dummy companies to hide land ownership. Hell, they don't even have to be U.S. companies (just ask Halliburton).
So, yes, this is different. A DNS domain is not property in the sense that it has a physical form. It exists purely as a dictionary entry. So, your analogy pretty much falls apart.
As to what the requirements are, I have two domains and I have never had to sign a document. There is no contractual agreement.
As to "abuse" - please explain how one abuses a domain name? One can misuse the servers by posting copyrighted content, but as there is nothing physical, the whole concept of abuse is laughable.
Again, this is purely fear based. "What if I'm a terrorist?" Yeah, sure. And what if I'm the Manchurian Candidate (careful what you say to me! I just might go off!)
Do what you must. Family is important. We've never truly had freedom of speech in this country. Only freedom of accepted speech. Go to far on either side of that and you are shut down.
Having worked with those burning pits from hell in High School and College, I LOVE the concept of someone destroying a fryer with something as pussy as a laptop... Kinda' makes me smile.
Factoid: Dirty oil makes the prettiest fries (disgusting but true). If they look undercooked then they're using fresh oil...
Well, as the initial designer of the Exxon Speedpass system, I can tell ya' that he is an idiot.
The problem with those dinky ones is that if they don't have an encrypted code, it doesn't take much to steal his identity (heh). Even at two inches, think how many things you put your hands on in a day. Sheesh!
BUT skipping all of that, let us assume we have hundreds, nay, THOUSANDS of these dumbass 125 Khz transceivers out there - with the Exxon solution we have a MINIMUM distance of one vehicle. Not much problem of interference there. But when you start packing them in, BOY yer going to have a freaking mess.
RFID works for some things, but as a "national id" it will royally suck. Hell, just ask people that have RFID in their keys and get an Exxon Speedpass (hint: they interfere with each other).
But then I've always believed that if someone built a better mousetrap the majority would still use the older and crappier one...
But, but, but who would be stupid enough to pay 129 bucks for a POINT release...for the love of god!
GEEZ (slaps forehead) how could I be so stupid!!! Thank you for this bit of insight. My god, had I realized it was ONLY A POINT release.
thankyou you've beening such a wonderful audience
We'll be here all week. Be sure to tip your waiters and waitresses, their hard working folks. And how about the people here at Slashdot? Huh? Let's give them a round of applause!
I remember having to walk uphill in the snow both ways to the mailbox to mail my google queries in!
Wouldn't walking "both ways" at the same time just be walking in place?
Or are you counting your siamese twin?
It is a silly, almost stupid game. The violence is nothing worse than what we used to see on "Tom and Jerry" and the other "violent" cartoons.
HRC has screwed up. This is as bad as saying Rock and Roll causes teenage pregnancy or that Elvis morally corrupts our youth.
Look, at the moment she is worried about cartoon hookers being killed, there are REAL kids in combat in Iraq. There are REAL seniors that are losing their benefits. Let's forget GTA for a moment and concentrate on the IMPORTANT issues, not all this fluff...
No, he's referring to (and misspelling) Edwin Meese, Attorney General under Ronald Reagan, and the poster-boy of the right wing.
Thanks. I was alive and reading newspapers during the 80's. It was a joke (hence the MICE reference). He was a moron (no offense to morons reading Slashdot).
Meese was particularly bad at hunting down "nasty videos" so he could tell us how nasty they were. Rumor has it he later started an internet porn site (no offense to those who have interent porn sites - aka Windows boxes).
Personally, he was of space and taxpayers (MINE) dollars. Trust me, Ashcroft reminded me waaaay too much of those days (but at least he could "sing").
I mean this whole ordeal hasn't hurt them any and maybe the reason that they haven't released a settlement sum is that they paid him to take the shot...
Take off the tin foil hat. It is not unusual for terms of an agreement to remain secret (as part of the agreement). This is for two reasons:
1) if we knew Apple hit him up for an apology and, say, $50, then we would all say "hey, lets share ALL of Apple's software!"...
2) most businesses would rather settle out of court where things are kept secret - court's have this nasty habit not always ruling in your favor (although in this case it is just a no-brainer). One only has to look at the whole Microsoft/Justice Dept. fiasco to realize this (boy, did the American people lose big-time).
So start taking your medications again, trust me, you'll feel better in no time...
I'm a paying Apple Associate. Beta tested OS X. So, of course anything I say is suspect.
Yes, Virginia you CAN get by with 256 Meg. Yes, you will have swapping. No, unless you are a power user, you will not notice.
I was under the impression my dear sweet wife had 512 Meg until one day I was updating her machine, got bored, and looked. I was horrified and amazed at the same time. She had been using the machine for close to two years, ripping with iTunes, etc. etc.
I still got her a gig (hey, it's cheap).
My advice, based on years of use of the OS X is to get 512Meg. It will help, but it is no panacea.
The big lie here is that you need gobs of RAM. That is not true. You can get by with the minimum. 512 is only the minimum if you are a geek.
The language is, but intercomputer communication isn't (this is where mono helped me a lot). So, no, it is NOT documented. But thanks for playing!
What, if anything is your "analysis of C#" based on? The fact that it's not popular on slashdot, a community which is amazingly biased against anything Microsoft?
Wow, you've opened my eyes! I apparently have been corrupted by the groupthink that is Slashdot that I have managed to ignore the groupthink that is Microsoft...
Had you even given it the slightest bit of thought that I MAY be thinking for myself?
It seems rather unfair to call those developers who do not support Mono "dubious". Surely it would be better to say they are "sceptical".
For me it is indifference.
I have seen other developers here deal with code for an Enterprise level data management system (1000's of users across a country).
My analysis of C# was this: I would agree to write the test code in C++ to test their system (via gigabit ethernet on a Linux box). But I refused to join the development team.
Mono helped in my analysis of the communications method (thanks Microsoft -- next time DOCUMENT THE FRIGGIN' LANGUAGE). The result was that my INITIAL test simulating 50 users killed their app. Last I checked they hadn't got it past 200.
Sole sourced languages tend to suck - you never know what the owner will decide to do...
First, it argues that "they" (the recording *sellers*) have rights that we do not have.
Second, it is a slippery slope from buying a recording (with a copyright) to buying a license -- which is ALTOGETHER different.
Third, at what point will it go from a "license" to "control"?
This is the last item that the content producers want as part of law. They want to constrain the public as to what and how it will view, listen, and/or take in it's content.
As it stands now, if I want to give a CD or DVD to a friend that I have decided I don't like, I can. A license, however, can have restrictions on use and even on whether or not I can legally give it away (or sell it at a garage sale!).
And don't believe that the media companies don't understand a bit of this. They WANT total control. We've seen this week that Congress is willing to jump in to private lives to change an outcome they don't like. What is to prevent them from doing so at the behest of Big Media?

Imagine a Beowolf cluster of people???
I thought it. Bored now.
The State Dept is an advocate and user of Open Source Software.
I see that Vulcans still do not understand the concept of humor.
I don't get it. I mean, they State Dept. could easily have a reader connected to a network which passes along some hash which is stored on the card, to a server which would verify what passport they should be looking at.

Think "Windows ME".
Remember, this is the U.S. Gov.

Joe McCarthy would LOVE this Administration!
Who gives a shit what they look like? 99.9% of the rest of the world....
Releasing an inferior sequal is bad enough in the entertainment world
Really? I thought it was expected. I better go have a chat with Mr. Lucas about this...
Dave,
Do what you must. Family is important. We've never truly had freedom of speech in this country. Only freedom of accepted speech. Go to far on either side of that and you are shut down.
All the best...

With a sig like "00AMB (after my birth)", you got to believe this is a Hollywood content provider.
SCOTUSblog
Okay, I admit it is probably my old eyes, but I SWEAR I first read this as SCROTUSblog...
Which is not only all together different, but something I'm SURE I wouldn't want to read about...
"Then again, I suppose they have to get their porno some way, now that the Meece commission is no longer in business."
/. strive for grammatical accuracy.
No, no, you meant "Mouse Commission". We here at
Mice is plural.
Meece is incompetent.
Do people still know who he is?
I hope I'm funnier that that...
(... After reviewing previous postings...)
Well, er, apparently not...
I mean this whole ordeal hasn't hurt them any and maybe the reason that they haven't released a settlement sum is that they paid him to take the shot...
