I did. It was certainly a fine piece of propaganda.
What, Battlefield Earth? I've read it and didn't notice any propaganda, nor did I feel a mysterious desire to convert to Scientology afterwards. It just seemed like sci-fi to me.
No offense, but give a fool a hammer and he'll crack his skull. C is not inherently insecure. C++ is not inherently insecure. If you don't know how to program, please step aside and let others through.
No, the programmer is irrelevant to this argument. Pick any programmer you like, any one in the world. He will make mistakes at some rate. In C, those bugs will translate directly to security holes, whereas in a typesafe language they will not. It's just that simple.
Unfortunately, it is very difficult for customers to identify these more stable media. It is clear that an archive quality grade for media is necessary and should be based on a number of quality parameters rather than brand name or manufacturer.
...
Based on the test results for CD-R media, this This also indicates that the dye layer is probably the most significant layer for media stability. Other layers, such as the polycarbonate layer, may also degrade but at a slower rate than the dye layer. Furthermore, a disc with a faded or damaged polycarbonate layer may still have all the data intact and therefore the data may be recovered and migrated to new media.
In other words, expensive aren't necessarily better, and more plastic probably won't help.
I like your idea of dashboard testing more, but that wouldn't be a reliable indicator for packs of discs bought at different times, even if from the same brand. Who knows how often they change dye composition? From personal experience I know hardware manufacturers change chips all the time without changing the product number or packaging, it can really throw Linux for a loop.
I think people are seeing this as a spammer issue instead of an IP issue.... which it really isn't. Companies buy and sell these lists all the time, and use them for spamming all the time, and it's all perfectly legal. The only difference here is AOL is annoyed because they didn't get their cut.
Quite frankly, I don't care what goes on in there as long as people fear getting into one.
That's crazy. You can go to jail for lots of things, for instance stealing email addresses. Or for that matter, you can be falsely convicted. It happens.
I just wish each plugin could run it its own process; then nonresponsive plugins wouldn't have to stall the browser.
Also nice, you could suspend (SIGTSTP) a plugin to stop it using the CPU. I hate when I have a bunch of tabs open and most of the CPU is used up by animated Flash advertisements on pages that aren't even showing.
Invading Iraq hasn't worked out very well as a humanitarian mission (and Bush didn't sell it that way beforehand, either). We've brought death to tens of thousands of Iraqis. There isn't even an official body count, because we'd rather not know.
Which is another way of saying, "Bring back Saddam! We liked him!"
Being American during Saddam's rule of Iraq was awful wasn't it? I remember all the billions of dollars we spent, and the thousands of young Americans who died over there.
Seems like it could be a very fine option if you're serving read-only information. Everything of interest would soon be served from the filesystem cache. And just try to install your rootkit on a server with no writable media, sucka!
Teaching a machine to read a text book and answer questions doesn't necessarily mean cognitive reasoning. It's just a new form of input/output.
OK, then, instead of debating whether this is really AI, let's ask whether this ability would be useful? Yes it would, no question. This is what search engines want to be.
Right on - and a PIII should have no problems running iTunes.
The problem I see is output quality. I have tried several laptops' headphone jacks for sound quality, and quite a few are annoyingly bad. No particular connection between sound quality and the original price of the laptop that I can tell.
I have my own PVR setup that also plays music, and one pretty big problem is that various tracks and shows are recorded with different gains. It's not just a matter of adjusting the volume, because the sound is awful if the sound card is playing over its limits. But set the PC at a quiet volume suitable for any track, and the TV/stereo noise is apparent because you have to crank the volume way up to hear quieter tracks.
I'd be very interested if somebody can suggest an automated dynamic range equalizer that's linux compatible!!
Isn't anonymizer.com still in business? It was a proxy service you could pay to use.
I would check myself, but I hesitate to do so from work. I guess that in itself says something about being one of the few people to use encryption or proxying.
I sure hope you're right, but I'm not cashing in my 401K to buy HP stock just yet. This sounds like one of those "7-10 years out" things to me, i.e. "maybe one day...."
It's never the "Start from nothing, plan, implement" projects that do well. These typically go way over budget and way past the deadlines. It is the little "I need a little tool" projects that start off small and then are brought together or have extra features added to them that succeed.
It's true that small projects are never huge failures (by definition). The problem with incrementalism is that eventually you wind up with a big hairball where trying to fix one thing breaks three other things.
Accountability is a complete red herring in the first place. Microsoft explicitly disclaims any liability for whatever may go wrong with Windows. Just like everybody else - but then MS has the gall to slam others for lack of accountability!?
They can make accountability an issue right after they start taking the blame for virii and worms, and reimburse business for all the expense and inconvenience Windows holes cause.
Or even more likely, maybe he did it and got the kids to lie for him.
How is that more likely? Anybody with a lick of connon sense knows a kid is 1000x more likely to do something stupid like this that the dad who actually pays the mortgage. (Apparently they had adopted a kid, but I don't know how old.)
Finally, the guy was a 25 year veteran with the fire dept. Who here thinks he'd be idiot enough to use a "fire-starting device" wrapped in a napkin to try and burn the house down? It didn't even work, and left obvious evidence. It's the work of a minor, or a moron.
Buisnesses and individuals that choose the BSDL should be given the most respect
I expect they would prefer to release under the GPL. The only additional freedom of BSD is not to reciprocate!
But admittedly as a user (that is, when looking for others' code to use) I look for the BSD or other nonrestrictive license. Allow people to leech and they certainly will!

Oh, wait, that's now.
Thanks, that is very informative. ReplayGain looks like just want I wanted (now if only mplayer supported it) and the iMic is even linux compatible!
Excuse me, but what we all know what patents were intended to accomplish.

They don't need to make piracy impossible, only less attractive than shelling out $14.
