Others have explained this one, but could this legislation be the reason why www.nasa.com used to link to porn (c. 1998) but now links to weight loss pill ads masquerading as a search engine?
Doubtless the lawyers could get tied up in knots over this, but I would suggest that as I initiate the connection to the server hosting the file, I am the one making the copy, which is permissible. The "distributor" (a loaded term) is merely leaving the file in a place that is accessible to those who initiate a connection.
I also have a question of if you copy a cd yourself, and let someone borrow that, would that be distribution
From the article: In Canada, if I own a CD and you borrow it and make a copy of it that is legal private copying; however, if I make you a copy of that same CD and give it to you that would be infringement.
Presumably this means that if I make my own copy of an original copy, I can lend you my copy so you can make a copy yourself, but you mustn't listen to my copy , but only to the copy of my copy that you've copied.
Furthermore, Canada's Head of State is H.M. Queen Elizabeth II, who is notorious for the huge cache of files she hosts on the Buckingham Palace server farm. She also has off-site backup facilities at Windsor Castle, Balmoral Castle and Sandringham House.
Unfortunately, all the music is by Handel or Walton, and the porn is by Rubens.
The responsibility is placed on the developers to integrate the graphical elements designed by the creative team into the application
As a web applications developer who comes from a traditional software development background, I would state most emphatically that responsibility should be placed on the creative team not to make the mistake of believing that the user interface of an application is the place for their graphical elements.
Usability principles apply just as much to a web application as to any other kind. It's easy to make one look like a native app with creative use of stylesheets (served according to client platform); those who ask "what's the point of that?" are too hung up on the "web" bit, and not taking sufficient notice of the "application".
Somebody once said, "There is no website so simple that a graphic designer can't completely f*ck it up for you". That goes triple for web applications.
The PDP8/e had a rotary switch on the front panel that allowed you to use das blinkenlights for various purposes.
From The PDP8/e & PDP8/m Small Computer Handbook (Digital Equipment Corporation, 1972), Table 2-1, pp 2-3 to 2-4:
Indicator Selector Switch
This is a six-position rotary switch, used to select a register for display. The six positions are as follows:
STATE - Indicates an individual function for each bit;
Bit
0 - Fetch
1 - Defer
2 - Execute
3 - IR 0
4 - IR 1
5 - IR 2
6 - MD DIR
7 - Data Control
8 - SW
9 - Pause
10 - Break in Prog
11 - Break
STATUS - Indicates an individual function for each bit;
Bit
0 - Link
1 - Greater Than Flag
2 - Interrupt Bus
3 - No Interrupt Allowed
4 - Interrupt On
5 - User Mode
6 - Instruction Field 0
7 - Instruction Field 1
8 - Instruction Field 2
9 - Data Field 0
10 - Data Field 1
11 - Data Field 2
AC - Indicates bits 0 - 11 of the accumulator at TS1
MD - Indicates Information just written or rewritten into memory
When I was writing games for a living (late '80s), one of our guys wrote a bit of Amiga code which faded the power and floppy activity lights up and down in opposing phases over a period of about 2 seconds. Written in 68000 assembler, it used the entire capacity of the processor.
JScript is an implementation of ECMAScript, which is also the standard with which Netscape's JavaScript is compliant.
In other words, JScript and JavaScript are two proprietary implementations of the ECMAScript standard. As far as the core language is concerned, they should work the same.
I identified a minor inconsistency in the implementation of certain kinds of closure a couple of years ago; it was difficult to tell from the standard (after poring over it for hours) which implementation was correct. I'll have to dig out that test case and see how it goes on MS and NS implementations of today.
When it comes to implementations of the various kinds of document object model (NN3/IE3/NN4/IE4/NN6/MS5/MS5.5/MS6 and of course DOM), both MS and NS/Moz have sufficient support for W3C DOM
Level 1 to allow stuff to be got working seamlessly across platforms. Well, almost. Occasionally. Oh whatever, I didn't want to go home tonight anyway. Really, I love this job.

That makes one of you :-)

Those were the days...
No, it should be heatsink.

Try looking here for starters, or just Google :-)
If you look here, you'll find that XPlane has FAA approval for use in pilot training - the only consumer-level flight sim so far to achieve this.
And just to add to the fun, it can get real-time weather info off the net and add that in to your scenery :-)
He can't, she left with that charming, witty, intelligent black guy from down the road. You know, the doctor.
Never heard the saying softly, softly, catchee monkey?

How to make an impression on your guests: "I'll just plug your bed in."
I used to be a bartender.
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
That's right, I heard the same thing.
Do you want ice in that?
I first heard Firesign Theatre's Waiting for the Electrician, or Someone Like Him about 20 years ago.
I wonder if DisneyPlace will be full of kids waiting for the same after going on a "wet ride" with this thing ;-)
What, like the ridiculously high licensing fees on your mouse, your GUI, your network... ;-)
Good enough :-)
