This will make it very easy to implicate *anyone* in a cybercrime by just planting the evidence on their computer/device as you are hacking it anyway. Totalitarians, here we come!
...in the future you are being looked at as being crazy if you tell other people that you are still driving yourself. "Seriously, how can you live with that - risking the life of others. Robot-Cars are much safer."
I concur - Dot matrix printers are the way to go. OKI and Epson still offer quite a good number of various models. They will for sure be around for some time as they are the only printer that can create carbon copies if needed in a single print (like for forms).
That's like teaching a jockey to ride a broom stick instead of a real horse because the staff needed to feed the horse has been too costly. Now, where is the difference between a normal human being taking a pic of currrent happenings or the reporter? There is none, anymore. Anyone can ride a broom stick, except the jockey might do it with a bit more skip-walking, but not really gaining an advantage.
Doesn't anybody find it curious that it looks in one of the shots that the holes go from the inside to out? How is that even possible? I mean, dents on the outside are reasonable but how did the ones (and there are several deep ones) on the inside happen?
I have been in the Open Source business for almost 10 years now and I am leading a big open source software project which is completely self-sufficient.
From my experience what you need to sell is not a 'Please open source this software because other will benefit from it' but a 'Please open source this software because YOU will profit from it - in the future'. Open sourcing a software is usually a bet on future option, like a stock option you are creating which needs constant nurturing.
Tell the customer that with a regular maintenance fee he might be able not only to help you support him (in case of problems/bugs/general support), but also will be able to extend it with possible new features with no additional costs (beyond that maintenance fee).
The 'do it for the public common good' is certainly weighing in on your suggestion but certainly a future investment and return is the key point. At least this worked for me/us. Usually if additional features happen they will be so happy and donate on top, too.
Actually, that might not be too far from reality. It takes a small obnoxious group of jerks to make the life of everyone else miserable. And even worse: They will feel that it is their good right to harass everyone else because they paid for it.
I think that 'Better safe than sorry' is a good way to handle this... however straight after closing the airspace there should have been real tests going on how much ash there actually is. The warnings given by the Volcanic observation center are just based on simulations and there is no middle way between 'ash' and 'no ash' currently. I totally understand that the airlines are starting to complain - even more when they have to _prove_ themselves that there is no problem with low concentrations. There hasn't been any weatherballoons or similar testing by the governments right after closing the airspace.
Nowadays no additional costs are involved for map data anymore - unless you want to spend it. Have a look at the OpenStreetMap project - http://www.openstreetmap.org/ - there you can get the data (which is partially better than Garmin maps) for free. Routing data is just emerging but already possible. I uploaded the complete world map on my GARMIN GPS 60Cx a couple days ago (you will need a big memory card for that, though)
I recently had to implement a proper print-view with CSS covering several pages of print outpu. What I can tell is that it is a pain in the a** - since alot of print-specific CSS attributes are not supported by actual browser-version - Opera being the exception from the sad rule. For example most browser do not support the command to keep divs intact and do the pagebreak automatically before or after the div. We ended up having the user to decide when he needs a page break.
I honestly can understand that someone get frustrated and wants to use a 'better' way.
'Last night, the link became the subject of "warring" between several Wikipedia administrators in the lead up to it's removal, with administrators saying they didn't want to be used to prove a point.' That seriously sounds like that what German people said when the Nazis deported the Jews.
"I don't want to get involved."
aka
"It's their internet censorship, not ours".
This attitude fails to see that once this censorship has established itself in other countries it will eventually come closer to being a global issue more and more. There is no point in having freedom and no censorship in your country when all others around you are already gagged and have censored content. The internet community has eventually to realize that they are sitting in the same boat.
The difference would be that the gmail interface is different to the thunderbird interface and I happen to like the gmail one better?
I prefer the Thunderbird interface - the only thing that really sucks in Thunderbird is the search 'feature'.
I find myself opening my gmail account using the webinterface if I want to quickly search a bunch of emails because the Thunderbird search makes me upset everytime.
Well.. I am very torn on this. Sure.. it doesn't seem to be fair at first glance.
But as you wrote the original software you have the users community in your hands in the first place. If you keep on developing your software you will keep that community. Most OSS companies are not so much worth because of the sofwtare itself but because of the community that gathered around a software.
Since I am a project leader for a web application software I considered to use the AGPL license long time ago. But since the community and the software is evolving so great it would only limit people in the freedom to customize software to their needs. As most people do dirty hacks anyway instead of a generic expansion that would serve alot more people. And since I keep evlolving teh software with new features the corporations using it have not much choice but giving the mods back to community because re-patching the new version is too much effort compared to the 'givinng-back' alternative.
In Germany the copy from a legally bought CD given to a close friend is legal. So the law was made according to the natural feeling of the public.
Although that copying has been limited recently by the addidion 'you may copy - but not if the media is protected by a _WORKING_ digital protection'. Well.. most CD anti-copy schemes today are easy to overcome and this very soft rule has not been tested in court yet. The musiv industry just plainly tries to keep their too high prices up by suing everyone around and lobbying for more limiting laws.
We are using Mediawiki as documentation system to document all our servers, procedure and contacts within the tecnical departemnt. Since I am an open source advocate I introduced the system in 2003 and from there it only grew. Although you have to keep a look at it and do a re-structure from time-to-time to adjust to the amount of information it has been proven to be very useful. The only thing i am really missing is a good admin structure where it would be easy to configure a closed user group of editors since we would like to keep passwords and things like that in the Wiki too.
On the other hand an alternative would be a good password sharing solution. It should be safe and very strict in how I share password with other people using teh same too. Does anyone have a good solution to this problem?
I can only second that. Joomla is an awesome CMS. I like it because it stands out of the crowd with its features meaning.
- Good template engine - the templates can look very different - you don't see at first glance that it is Joomla (unlike Postnuke) - Very easy component plug-in structure - You want to use a new feature? No problem..just uploed the zipped component packed into joomal and it will isntall itself. - Few bugs - Lots of support and a big communiy.
Yep-- Sharp MZ-731 here.. and even already at that time I was so positively worked up when i got the small plotter to print out this naked beauty;-).
Human vs. Octopus - how to get an unusual tatoo...

Giant Octopus Attacks Sub
·
· Score: 2, Informative
Check on this article.. - .... well lets say the giant Octopus thought he was food - and so he earned a nice tatoo when the squid tried to gnaw on him from the head down.
I can recommend Magnatune very much too. Its a very serious Label with very good artists. Every band is hand-picked so people dont have to listen to crap.
These absolutely conlusive datas, like digital data (used in this case) or genetic data (very similar because it is unique) bear a great danger. Since this data seems to be so unmistakable people think that the hint itself (pointing to a guilty or innocent person) is to be taken for granted too.
I could get a few hairs from someone, murder his wife, spread his hairs all over the place and the police would most probably think it was him (he was in his bed sleeping at home with nobody to witness)
BUT ITS just a CLUE. If i had worn a neoprene suit no genetic data would have dropped by me. The police would think that person is guilty. A good police investigator would know its only a hint and not enough to convict someone. Unfortunately the public is thinking that this data is confirmed.

Great - I had never heard about this. It looks managable - bit expensive but without the risks of the laser procedure.
I don't understand why the Ecuadorians don't make him a countryman and give him a diplomatic passport?

Actually it is only illegal if there 'are security procedures in place' to prevent it.
'Public' email is totally legal to read.
