but from what I remember of it there was nothing earth-shaking in it. Reading the article only yields that the MoD has released even more material, but so what if there are lots of UFO sightings? An UFO is exactly what it says . . . unidentified, not "alien spacecraft".
Is PDF a web format ? If not then use a separate app to view them. The browser is not supposed to do everything.
Well, it displays GIFs, then JPEGs, then PNGs . .., SWFs and MPEGs seem here to stay, but is MPEG really a "web" format?
Next you'll be wanting MS word to be viewable in the browser.
I haven't seen a Windows machine either for a long time, but I do seem to remember "Word in browser" being new... half a dozen years ago?
It's called plugins, and as long as formats change they are here to stay.

gpdf: Multiple Vulnerabilities
1 May 2009
In my experience, it is possible to find someone else who will quite happily actually insist on taking care of all one's home decorating, with even some fringe benefits thrown in. Of course some might find surprising disadvantages to my solution, like sudden difficulties completing 24h WoW sessions, but as TFA says even the average slashdotter needs his beauty sleep.
And, by the way, ther is no space between the sentence and the question mark.
There *is* an "e" at the end of the word "there", though;-)
I bet "obarthelemy" is French. In French, there is a space before double punctuation signs (like;:!?). AFAIK that's the only language in which that is the case. If you're interested, ISTR TeX and LaTeX documentation discussing the precise width of those spaces and other language-specific punctuation in some detail.
If the goal is to write a scientific paper with a large number of authors, I think the most reasonable thing to do would be to write it in MediaWiki, which is the wiki software used by Wikipedia. In particular, MediaWiki has good support for LaTeX-formatted math. Once all the authors have had a chance to make their edits, and the whole thing has converged to the exact words, punctuation, and math you want, you convert it to LaTeX and you're all set.
[...]
This is all assuming it's a scientific paper, which just needs to be worked on for a certain amount of time, and then it's published and you're not going to mess with it anymore. There's another interesting situation in academic writing, which is a textbook that's going to be edited on an ongoing basis over the years. That's an example where I think the case for vc+latex is much stronger.
Sure, but your MediaWiki way has the interesting possibility of setting a version number every time you export to LaTeX, which saves you from wondering "was this document changed since the version number was set". Many kinds of documents have a manual revision history in the first pages, but it's rarely up-to-date. You put all mods in MediaWiki, and when you need to publish, run the script make_new_deliverable $textname $new_version $version_comment : MediaWiki -> add version and comment and date -> LaTeX -> PDF, and save the two outputs. Only provide the LaTeX version to people who need it, specify that the way to contribute is to use the wiki, and bingo, all the benefits of manual versioning but no more subtly different versions floating around.
It is well known in engineering that the failure curve of components is usually high in the first few weeks of use, high after a number of years corresponding to the expected product life, and extremely low in between.
The guy below who recommends not taking a warranty at all and using a credit card with a warranty has a good idea too (especially as some places the warranty comes in a pack with services you may want, so if you're paying anyway . ..)
Go to www.mod.uk (British Ministry of Defence), search for HMNB Clyde, find the official web site of HMNB Clyde http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/server/show/nav.3157, click on "Location", then on "View map on multimap.com", change to aerial view, move some 1500 yards north to the submarine docks, zoom in . . . much better resolution than google maps. OK so there weren't any submarines there that day, doubtlessly GoogleSats try to fly overhead only when the subs are there? Shoddy sensationalist tabloid reporting at a shoddy sensationalist tabloid, now that's news for you.
It was a reimbursement coming from a company (a chain of stores) *that she had used her credit card with*. Only the company goofed:-) In Swedish (with her photo):
The bank says that she did not have to tell the bank about the error, but that (obviously) it would have been illegal for her to try to use it.
The money was there for 24 hours, but the bank is not giving her the interest. They say the money was "fictional", a technical error. She will however be getting an official excuse from the bank... that *would* make some fun reading.

Slashdot Mirror
One of the major objections to wind turbines is the noise they make, so anything that increases human-audible noise is out of the question.
The guy who noticed this was using a device that detects the ultrasonics emitted by bats.
Instead of setting a radar to pump out radio waves, why not set a device like that to send an amplified return?
It must have fallen off my keychain or something. What do you mean, "No big deal, USB keys are a dime a dozen"?
did it appear on the NYT site 2.5 hours after the paper came out?
The site seems to be working with an empty database after being slashdotted.

Does that answer your question?

Google Chrome for Linux is in development and a team of engineers is working hard to bring it to you as soon as possible.
Please enter your email address below and we'll let you know when it's released.
