Good luck to all you "U.S. persons". Let me know how it goes as I sit up here in Canada wishing I could partake.
No figures yet on how much of a discount Telstra got,
Well, 40 000 users and $20 000 000 is 20 000 000 / 40 000 = $500/user over 4 years.
The full office Suite is ~ $599.00 by itself. And I'm sure the deal includes server and developer versions of software too... maybe even subscriptions to MSDN. On the overview, it sounds like they have really received a sweet deal... relatively speaking of course:)
... there's that cool murky middle ground, where you don't put project-specific business logic in the stored procedures, but you do create generalized stored procedures (e.g. can be easily applied to other data sets/projects) that support your programs. Of course that still means porting stored procedures if you change database platforms, but not as many as in the extreme case.
It's a fine line.
I doubt other non-Mozilla browser (i.e. IE -- don't know about Opera) would have a simple fix built in.
(Makes you wonder why the Mozilla creators didn't think about turning on that config fix in the first place).
In Mozilla there should be groups of about:config preferences that you can switch between, one for lan scope, another for the public internet, etc. Then you could switch to less secure settings for your intranet projects and back to more secure settings for general surfing. Better yet give Mozilla the ability to automatically choose the best config settings based on the IP.
I don't understand why this cannot be done without XUL/Mozilla. E.g. Why can this spoof not happen through Mozilla & plain DHTML (no XUL), or in IE too? Without XUL I can also pop up a new window without any chrome and then create my own fake chrome elements through DHTML (including drop-down menus, status bar acorss bottometc etc)
What am I missing when I don't understand why this problem is specific to XUL in Mozilla?
from a link in the story we get to this little gem:
The Segwaychat.com outpost has collected some of the world's finest, spoiled children. To their credit, one member of the group did work in conjunction with the NYPD to return the stolen Segway to its owner. Sadly, this achievement has given rise to a nonsensical glob-fest full of talk about shafts, the Segway's finer points and even capital punishment for scooter thieves.
Is it just me, or does this remind anybody of another popular forum?;)
Had to be said. Okay now, so let's see how far I get trolling here...
Any dentist I've ever gone to sure makes enough money: big house, lots of property, nice cars...oh, and the big in-ground swimming pool -- that's a must. I've known a couple of dentists. I realize I'm stepping outside the main point, but if there's one profession that can afford to pay the petty few hundred bucks for music it's most definitely the dental profession. Of course if a precedent is set then everybody will be affected, both rich and poor.
... for those who want to have time to read a novel while the robot librarian goes in search of your requested book. Fetch rover! Give it a challenge like War and Peace.
At issue is that software vendors such as Oracle and Microsoft that license software on a per-CPU basis are likely to consider each processor a separate CPU, a practice that means double the licensing costs for enterprise users
Well, these rules are obviously not written in stone. "likely" is speculative. Let's wait and see what they *actually* decide to do. Rules can change as technology changes. The enterprise users should speak up about this issue and provide feedback.
Obviously Oracle considers an n-core chip as n processors. However they are not going to be able to compete if another database company does the opposite with its licensing. However, maybe they'll all follow each other just for the sake of quick $.
SVG-T supports within its profile vector graphics, images, and text, but lacks the ability to add interactivity or audio without the use of additional auxiliary technologies such as JavaScript
Further down the article they say:
Flash Lite, however, provides a common set of ActionScript commands
Note that ActionScript = = JavaScript, however maybe not = = =:)
My point is Flash also implements JavaScript (an "auxiliary technology" of SVG-T). The article makes it seem like a potential point of deliniation between the two formats, but it's not, unless they're complaining about how JavaScript can be implemented for SVG-T compared to Flash.

Do us all a favor and break the news when water is actually found. I mean, one speculative story is interesting about a subject, but speculative story after speculative story after... gets real boring when nothing actually changes. So help us, if they actually find a drop of water.

the Parents Television Council, which is already keeping the FCC censors busy. Doesn't the government have better things to do
In other words, does the government have anything better to do than listen to a group of people that I don't agree with. That seems to be what the story submitter is implying. Fortuneately the government does listen to various groups of people with differing opinions on matters. That's why you have your free voice too -- because you belong in a group of people who (I imply) may speak out for less censorship. By indicating the goverment should ignore the opinion of a group of people under the guise of "government [has] better things to do", you would be diminishing the voice of a group of people, and that seems to be a dictatorship rather than a democracy. Now cue the arguments about what is democracy:)
However when the computer fills in the gaps (in place of a normal eye), the machine does not rely on the creative experiences a human has, and you end up with subtle problems like the one pictured here . Something to think about.
Moore said something along the lines of "I don't know why we are making so much of an act of terror.
I've seen that comment posted before. However I'm obviously not reading into it as deeply as I see others reading into it. The fact that Moore doesn't see an act of terror as a big deal does not discredit valid points he might have in his documentary -- no matter what direction he's coming from. I agree that some things he has skewed and I'm thankful for the refutes and debates around it to give me a more level perspective. I don't ever expect to see a political version of something that isn't skewed in some ways... from either side. Other than the direction Moore is coming from, what does that fact mean to you? I would be interested in knowing because I'm obviously not seeing your point, not because I don't want to -- I'm just not seeing what you're seeing in that comment.
I could never figure what the hell Sun was talking about when they would go off on "Java 2", but then sprinkle in "1.4" or "1.5"
Amen brother. Tell it like it is. How does Sun expect to compete with.Net if they can't even stop confusing everybody over the version numbers. They're just version numbers for crying out loud. Bring them in line... just make them both higher than they were before, but the same number.
I know I am probibly going to get modded down for this, but
It's interesting that while trying to get the facts out, your concern is about getting modded down. In my personal opinion I think the weightiness of the subject matter should overshadow any concerns about your personal Slashdot karma. I certainly welcome the link as I'm sure many others do.
I agree with many of the points in that article, but it also has its own problems
Fahrenheit mocks President Bush for continuing to read a story to a classroom of elementary school children after he was told about the September 11 attacks.
What Moore did not tell you:
Gwendolyn Tose'-Rigell, the principal of Emma E. Booker Elementary School, praised Bush's action: "I don't think anyone could have handled it better." "What would it have served if he had jumped out of his chair and ran out of the room?"
Uh, maybe it would have served his country. Unless this lady can name a better reason for Bush to jump up and leave, I will believe that your nation being under attack by terrorists is a good one.
It's nice that he had a calming effect on the school children (even though the children didn't know what was happening at that moment and therefore did not need calming), however there is something called the greater good. As President you're responsibilities are just a little bit bigger than most.
However at the same time, maybe his men told him to stay there while they figured out a plan and tried to assess his safety.
At this point in the documentary, we didn't feel angry at Bush (I don't know if Moore was trying to provoke anger). What we felt was a sense of pity. Bush looked like a man that didn't know what to do. I saw him as a victim. He appeared as a man that wasn't right for the job, but was there anyways, out of some fluke by the voters. Despite the inaccuracies and biases of the documentary (and in light that the published link has many biases also), I have made my own conclusion that the President is more concerned about his own affairs than those of his country. He just seems to be one of those individuals that doesn't have the real-world experience to be in that position (and the attitude that he's always right -- and that can be a scary attitude when in a position of power). Of course as facts and fiction emerge my views will be changed. I think there's still a lot of information to be processed. Hopefully (but I doubt it) the right information can get out before the next election.
Wow, and I'm not encumbered by the choice of which music to buy. I hope they don't add to much more music. It's just perfect as is! It's also great for the/. crowd: one site, one crowd, two CDs to rule them all.
the word "channel" is a paradigm of the past. We should start calling them streams or something different in order to break out of the old mindset of the not-on-demand programming model. The industry should be freed to try new things... which is already happening, but sllllooooowwwwllly.
