A line of code per 16 seconds again sounds good and we can all easily do it by reimplementing something that we've already done (ooh look at my reversing a string function!), but it is astoundingly unlikely that someone could continue such a rate beyond even an hour. If coding were so trivial we would have tools to generate the code.

matter of fact, yes, i think publicy stating "islam is retarted" is against the values we remember anne frank for. regardless of all pro/antisemitic bullshit.
dammit, i dont think anne frank got remembered just for being a jew, so who cares what fortuyns position on this braindead subject was.
all we can learn from this is that today, there are people who think of a major worldwide religion as being retarted [or worse], just like in 1933. fsckin stupid.
..according to this rather random list.
for those of you who dont know, he was a rather right-wing populistic politician in the netherlands until his violent death this year.
since he is credited in the list as "stem van het volk" (i think this means "voice of the people", on the other hand i am german not dutch), and since both ophrah and lady di are also included, i think one should not take this list too seriously.
and fortuyn is even pictured right besides anne frank! now that is BAD TASTE.
please keep in mind that the courts answer to "i am no cracker" would most likely have been "yes, mr sklyarov, we can see no similarities between you and a dry thin crispy baked bread product either".
it seems like most of the people posting here are using the d-link or some other usb bluetooth adapter... however, owning a powerbook, i would very much prefer some kind of internal adapter, namely a pcmcia bluetooth interface.
since [one of] the point[s] of bluetooth is reducing the hassle of physically conneting two devices, it strikes me as rather annoying that i have to connect the usb adapter to the back of my tibook evertime i want to access a phone or pda. it is better than using a cable, but i still have to plug things into things.
so, does anybody know about pcmcia
bluetooth devices which are supported by os x?
why did you have to use hitler, its a tasteless comparition, why didn't you use mozart instead?
because i think that there are a lot of people who think of mr. hilter as having been german, and because it always bothers me when some place in austria or poland [or some other place which was part of/ invaded by germany at some time] is refered to as being german. because there are ultra righwingers in germany who would regard a company from innsbruck as being german.

This overflow was discovered by the German security firm Phion; they have posted more info on this page.
contrary to popular believe, austria [the country in which innsbruck [the city where phion is located] is located] is no longer a part of germany, nor has the German government made any plans for a re-annexation in the near future.

Did you or any people you know ever consider the thing you did as a service to society? Is there a notion in the scene that what you did had to be done, not "because you could" or for impressing the peers, but for serving society as a whole?
i ask because i think that the warez scene has contributed a lot towards helping third world or ex eastern blok nations keeping in touch with technological progress. i don't know any specific facts, but it seems logical to assume that the last thing a developing country wants to do is to pay for operating systems on a per-license basis...
so, in other words, did you or your affiliates ever consider yourself as modern day robin hoods [as opposed to modern day john silvers;] ?
Daft Punk [french band] did a similar thing with their "Discovery" album... included was a unique
personal access code which would allow you to download remixes and other stuff from their
site.
and contrary to bon jovi, the only things which squeal horribly in their music are the 303's;)
daft punk btw never allowed pictures of themselves to be released, they wore galactica style helmets for interviews. [unlike jon bon, who, as it seems, still tries to push his personality to the masses as a b-movie actor]

you see, all it would take to bring down your entire drone army would be a six year old prodigy accidently crashing into the highest-level drone control ships... all your battlefield formations would simply collapse, giving them dirty gungans the opportunity to ridicule your expensive battle drones...
now, an army of clones, that would be something to think about;)
i had the opportunity to watch this masterpiece two months ago in a local alternative cinema... i really liked the way it was restored, they said they added altogether well over half an hour of previously thought lost material, which fritz lang had to cut out in order to gain more public acceptance in his days. scenes which were destroyed by time are summarized in caption screens, so you get to understand more of the whole picture.

Because they want to. They are using their resources to do something they want to do. They don't owe you anything. Open source hackers don't exist to make free software for you. They exist because they like doing it.
Of course, in this case the motivation could very well be the 0.2 MILLION DOLLARS which will be given to the people dealing successfully with this piece of previously closed hardware.
