If you're developing code, and you want a function to quickly factor numbers, it's a lot easier to just find that one subroutine that to find a calculator project and dig through its source code.
But I'm too busy enjoying my new found/. fame to add such a feature just yet. I'll probably add it by next weekend, or at the very least give a list of acceptable licenses. Maybe I should add a default license selection to the user settings, or a default comment header.
A friend just told me I was/.ed. Sorry that the site is on such a slow line, I'll be moving it to a faster one tomorrow.
As for the name, it's open if you can read it. If you are trying to get code for commercial software, check out planet source code. I might change the default license in the near future, but it isn't very likely. Submissions can specify their license of choice in their comments.
Email me with any suggestions, complaints, burning garbage, or offers of endorsement.
You choose between one of two candidates because the majority does as well. If all the people like you banded togethor, and we stopped pushing those that don't care to vote, third parties might win more often.
As for me, I'm a minor. Read: Taxation without representation.
So we get free free energy. What do we do first? We refridgerate every building on the planet. That would raise the outdoor temperature significantly over a few years.
On the bright side, it will be possible to microwave the entire planet and get rid of RFID tags.
If such energy became available, it wouldn't likely be available to the every planet-bound citizen. More likely, it would be like nuclear power in that it would be very highly regulated and unavailable directly to individuals. They could get the benifits of it, but only in moderation at an extremely high markup.
I miss the days of logical phyysics, where you could theoretically keep accelerating that entire distance and arrive in less than 90 years.
Anyways, who are we kidding? We are looking for planets like Earth not for life, which will evolve to suit nearly any environment, but to find possible colonization sites.
For that, a smelloscope would be much more useful.
It's all a matter of what you're used to. The GIMP's unstable release (1.3.16 in my case) in Linux has cleaned things up a lot.
The only entries on the task list are for the gimp's tool dialog and the open documents. The dialogs remain above open windows, and in Linux(most window managers) the dialogs can be rolled up to just their title bar with a simple double click like any other window.
To me at least, it makes more sense to give the image's window rather than the applications window a command, but I realize that this confuses some people. The unstable version of the GIMP has the right-click menu items in a menu bar for such users.
The GIMP's primary development team is not targetting Windows, and the interface understandably sucks on that platform. It's OSS; if you hate the interface so much, make a new one.
Start up MoL on any PowerPC, dump sound to a WAV while playing the proprietary files, compress and distribute.
An easier way would be to burn it to disc and rip that disc. It won't sound as good, but figuring out the compression part of the iTunes format and overlaying that onto another format could fix such problems. Then again, we can always distribute a ~50mb WAV for each song if we're desperate enough.
As soon as someone cares enough to make the tools, high quality rips of iTunes music will be available on filesharing networks.
as harassment? Then it's a federal thing and I can nab all those jerks!
On another note, I haven't gotten a single spam since I firewalled off the nation of China from incoming smtp connections.
From what I've heard, AOL's policy of denying access from everyone with less than a T3 line isn't nearly as successful. This jerks don't remember whitelist requests by their victims^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hsubscribers, and they don't honor whitelist or rewhitelist requests by syadmins. They don't offer any explanation for an entry disappearing from their whitelist other than "maybe you're running an open relay." I'm not, and I'm sick of getting user complaints spawned by the death throws of that evil leviathon.
The only grey area is smoking in public. You have a human right to fuck your health over as much as you want, just don't fuck with my air. (Don't piss in my swimming pool or install Windows on my server either.)
When the Thought Police arrest you so that the MPAA can sue you for intent to possibly defraud, larsony of imaginary profits, and programming without a liquor license.
I recently bought an rs232 plotter, a historic one, just because its manual had example source code for usage. The code was BASIC, but it was more than enough to get a plotter app written in Linux.
Before Bill Gates "0\/\/nz0r3d" a computer on every desktop in America, companies had to make stuff open. Before hard disks and resident operating systems were common, you had to release example code so that developers would make their software compatible with your hardware.
Now, many hardware manufacturers are only beginning to support alternative platforms again.
For the record, this thing's blatent violation of the CD-ROM standards would keep anyone with a brain from buying it. If these discs would work in all drives and the burner was worth the money, there would be Linux drivers within a few weeks.
For the company's sake, I hope they recoup their development costs. As for me, I have compatible cdroms, compressed ISO if I need it, and a tape drive whose capacity puts and disc to shame.
People won't sacrifice compatibility for a measly 44%. Well, I will with compressed ISO just because my backups will never be read outside a Linux system.
Did that article check the MD5 sums of the files? I suspect there was massive data corruption on the 3rd party drives.
This could also be used to create a "Super" Nessus. Remember that script kiddies and system administrators both use such tools. I think that in the long run, it will help the latter more.
My ISP used to offer all the addresses one could grab, so I just used my cable modem as a DHCP server for my lan like an idiot. The end result was that transfering a file from one computer to another went along at a slow crawl.
Companies can charge outrageous fees for more addresses. Now that they've stuck me to one, it would cost $150 to get two of the things.
Or is that only the case for the constitution, and ammendments thereof?
For example let's say that Tennessee passed anti-DMCA legislation, and I get caught with mplayer/Xine/libcss on my my iBook. Could the MPAA still prosecute me under federal law? Would they have to extradite me to another state?

Linux is copyrighted, the GPL makes specific exceptions under specific conditions. That is a good thing, because it protects the product.
If you did that, SCO could make OpenLinux as closed as OpenServer. We couldn't do a damn thing about it.

Anyways, who are we kidding? We are looking for planets like Earth not for life, which will evolve to suit nearly any environment, but to find possible colonization sites.
For that, a smelloscope would be much more useful.
And due to its sensitivity, a relatively small voltage will do.
Anyways, these tags must accept any interference given to them, so I might as well "accidentally" flood my entire city with fake RFID signals.

because we all know how well prohibition worked.
Out of curiosity, why was an ammendment necessary for prohibition of alcohol but not for that of stronger narcotics?

At least not until ISPs stop being jackasses.

if taxation without representation was cheaper.
(As a minor, that's essentially what I have.)

Did it operate as a .com in the beginning, selling off stock to cover expenses?
The owner of a company has much more power than the manager, even if it isn't excersized as often.
Gives out a much larger portion of the profits, and not just to pad his own wallet.
