"My partner had been made redundant and I know damn well that he was in bed and hadn't got up and started download pornography."
Domscheit-Berg: what are the agreements re iraq? i need to understand what the plan is there, and what the constraints are
Assange: "A person in close contact with other WikiLeaks activists around Europe, who asked for anonymity when discussing a sensitive topic, says that many of them were privately concerned that Assange has continued to spread allegations of dirty tricks and hint at conspiracies against him without justification. Insiders say that some people affiliated with the website are already
Assange: brainsorming whether ther e might be some way to persuade their front man to step aside, or failing that, even to oust him."
Domscheit-Berg: what does that have to do with me?
Domscheit-Berg: and where is this from?
Assange: Why do you think it has something to do with you?
Domscheit-Berg: probably because you alleg this was me
Domscheit-Berg: but other than that just about nothing
Domscheit-Berg: as discussed yesterday, this is an ongoing discussion that lots of people have voiced concern about
Domscheit-Berg: you should face this, rather than trying to shoot at the only person that even cares to be honest about it towards you
Assange: No, three people have "relayed" your messages already.
Domscheit-Berg: what messages?
Domscheit-Berg: and what three people?
Domscheit-Berg: this issue was discussed
Domscheit-Berg: [Redacted] and i talked about it, [Redacted] talked about it, [Redacted] talked about it, [Redacted] talked about it
Domscheit-Berg: lots of people that care for this project have issued that precise suggestion
Domscheit-Berg: its not me that is spreading this message
Domscheit-Berg: it would just be the natural step to take
Domscheit-Berg: and thats what pretty much anyone says
Assange: Was this you?
Domscheit-Berg: i didnt speak to newsweek or other media representatives about this
Domscheit-Berg: i spoke to people we work with and that have an interest in and care about this project
Domscheit-Berg: and there is nothing wrong about this
Domscheit-Berg: it'd actually be needed much more, and i can still only recommend you to finally start listening to such concerns
Domscheit-Berg: especially when one fuckup is happening after the other
Assange: who, exactly?
Domscheit-Berg: who exactly what?
Assange: Who have you spoken to about this issue?
Domscheit-Berg: i already told you up there
Assange: those are the only persons?
Domscheit-Berg: some folks from the club have asked me about it and i have issued that i think this would be the best behaviour
Domscheit-Berg: thats my opinion
Domscheit-Berg: and this is also in light to calm down the anger there about what happened in 2007
Assange: how many people at the club?
Domscheit-Berg: i dont have to answer to you on this j
Domscheit-Berg: this debate is fuckin all over the place, and no one understands why you go into denial, especially not the people that know about other incidents
Assange: How many people at the club?
Assange: In what venue?
Domscheit-Berg: in private chats
Domscheit-Berg: but i will not answer anymore of these questions
Domscheit-Berg: face the fact that you have not much trust on the inside anymore
Domscheit-Berg: and that just denying it or putting it away as a campaign against you will not change that it is solely a consequence of your actions
Domscheit-Berg: and not mine
Assange: How many people are represented by these private chats? And what are there positions in the CCC?
Domscheit-Berg: people in the CCC know about 2007
Domscheit-Berg: go figure
Domscheit-Berg: i dont even wanna think about how many people that used to respect you told me that they feel disappointed by your reactions
Domscheit-Berg: i tried to tell you all this, but in all your hybris you dont even care
They're free in the UK if you ask your energy provider on 'ways to reduce my bill'. Sometimes you don't even need to ask, they just turn up in the post.
All are nice and bright, and come on instantly. Two have popped in ten years. A couple more faded in brightness.
The same happens with debt collection agencies. They buy huge lists of names and send threatening letters to them all, multiple times. Some people pay, some ignore, some fight.
I keep getting chased for debts that aren't mine. The lists get sold, I get a letter. The agencies have never replied to a CCA letter (a legal requesting for information). Bunch of criminal chancers.
Forgive my ignorance, as I don't use Twitter, but they're supposed to be massive and they make these sorts of mistakes? It's a simple message board, no?
We were doing this sort of crap on vBulletin boards 10 years ago. Stealing cookies, redirecting, replacing images; all for kicks. After messing about for a week, everyone got bored and we had javascript events blocked on our own board.
My current Access DB is only 10,000 records big(?). It's actually duplicated (copy and paste) across four projects. It's a document management DB. I also have half a dozen Word and Excel documents that link to it for reporting.
Cost to the company was less than £3,000. Maintenance has been minimal. Training needed to use it has been minimal. The only show stopping errors have been generated by network failures.
Since I wrote it 3 years ago, the company have looked to replace it. Microsoft's EBP has been looked at by a focus group - I alone attended half a dozen meetings with a dozen more people chipping-in their opinions. We even had one of those expensive MS Gold partners on the project. It was ditched for not having enough functionallity. The cost of looking at it was well over £100,000.
Four other of-the-shelf packages are currently being looked at with none of them matching the functionality of my Access DB, with Excel and Word reporting.
My Access DB cost the four projects £3,000. Don't be so quick to dismiss it.
Across the pond, in the UK, the trend is the other way. Very few children spend their days texing; they used to, but no more.
For a contract, 600 free minutes is not unheard of, and adding unlimited texts is the norm. When you have 20 minutes of free talk time a day, why bother texting?
When texts were cheaper than voice, everyone texted.
These days, texting is for the olds (who still think it's cheaper).
And I though the article was OK until that last line.
Sensationalist, over opinionated, rubbish.
Even the punctuation quality dropped off at the end. Was he rushing to get it finished? Are those not his actual opinions, but ones he added to create some outrage?
You have to wonder who is bumping these stories up on the BBC? Only last month the story about Indians having small cocks, and condoms being too large, made the list for a week. I suspect 4channers...
And what stupid DB must the BBC use if the old template still pops up?
I don't know about that. uStream suffers from 'illegal' broadcasts of sporting events and are forever playing whack-a-streamer. A streamer can go through 10 accounts during one event.
Maybe uStream would welcome Google as they are likely to take the full force of the 'illegal' streaming community?
I have a paper plate that never breaks. Maybe because I never use it?
A guy at work asked me how to watch P2P sport. So I told him "SopCast".
The same guy, a few days later, told me he had a Mac and Sopcast wouldn't install. So I gave him a link to a page where you could get it running using a few helper apps.
He hasn't spoken to me since. He was too stupid to install a few apps and configure them... with a really nice set of instructions.
Macs. Can't break them, can't use them for anything interesting.
This happens in the UK too. We provide our daughter with a packed lunch, so it doesn't affect us too much.
A friend of ours values it immensely. It was only though the use of the card that she found out she was paying for half the classes lunches as well. It turned out that PINs were shared and the kids loved buying each other plates of chips and bars of chocolate.

"My partner had been made redundant and I know damn well that he was in bed and hadn't got up and started download pornography."
Hmm, yeah, right love.
Bookies. The word is bookies. :-)
Same here but customer service was a little more helpful for me.
Email abuse@linkedin.com asking them to block your email address and you'll never see them again.
Of course, if Gmail treated them as spam, there wouldn't have been a problem.

Doubly bat-shit crazy not to use them.

Stella removes the problem.
For a newspaper, self checkout is easier.
You also don't have to follow the instructions the machine blurts at you. There are shortcuts.
I never press any buttons. Scan, feed the money in, walk away.

Failed for me too.
The text displayed, an error was generated, then "The page cannot be displayed"
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://samy.pl/evercookie/. Operation aborted
Is this really Slashdot? Do I have a DNS error?
These are the stories I used to enjoy. I don't realy understand them, but they make a good read.
That would be me.

His joke was funnier as it was relevant to the topic and a joke.

Thumbs-down in the UK; just by the wing mirror. Flashing lights can mean so much, or so little.
It's called a prize? Amazing.
"Well done, you've worked out how to open the box, now have a prize!"

I can't beleive people still view /. with the oldest comments at the top!
:p
Do it the other way round and you can ignore the first posters, ignore the obvious posts, ignore the karma backslapers...
The posting gems always come last, like this one
The BBC's reputation of reporting unbiased truthful news ended a long time ago.

I use urine at home to kick-start my compost heaps. I then use the compost to grow food. It's been done this way for hundreds of years.
Never buy those compost accelerators from the garden centre - they're a waste of money.
And the neighbours do think I'm weird.
So funny.

The adverts all say Ay-Sus.
