Anyone who's ever burned with cdrecord has had a chance to see the info gathered about the media, grading it in terms such as "low beta category" or "high beta category", and displaying what the magic ingredient in the disc is, such as "phenylalanine" (I think), "phtalycyanine or similar", and "azo" something for those expensive super AZO CDs from Verbatim.
Surely, this, too, must have an impact on how long the CD lasts? I remember using some cheap mmore CDs to burn some data, and after a few months, there was actually a hole in the data layer on the disc that I could see. I think the only thing I'd used on that CD was some sort of fluorescent marker.
My Verbatim (Super AZO) CDs are still holding up, though. Let's see for how long.
I don't see how this needs an extra protocol. For instance, you could type in Slashdot's address as 66*35*250*150#.
No reason to make it more complicated than it is.
Besides, old technologies such as POTS (Telephones) and TV are frequently regulated (and taxed!) by governments in a way that makes them unsuitable for open content. The very thought of connecting these very taxable technologies to the Internet scares me.
I beg to differ. The Gathering, over at www.gathering.org , housed 5064 people last year. We can't allow ourselves to be smaller than Finland, after all.
I don't know about YOU, but does this seem at all like the commie witchhunts happening all over again?
I know if _I_ were offered seven years in jail in exchange for pleading guilty to some terrorist crime vs. _twenty_ years in jail if I didn't, I guess I'd plead guilty too.
Also, under international law, such a confession is generally considered invalid since it wasn't given voluntarily. A little piece of trivia for those of you *Cough*Americans*Cough* not well versed in international law.
Agreed. I use mozilla's built-in spam filter, and even though I get from 80-100 spam every day, I seem to see one of them in my inbox less than once a week.
I also believe it's been over two months since I got a false positive.
...Some people actually PREFER keyboards that respond to your fingers, rather than keyboards that you have to jump on in order to (maybe) punch in a key.
I do have some old keyboards lying around, and I use them for spare parts whenever one of my newer keyboards decide to call it a day. However, I prefer the new ones for their unique useability and feel.
This problem is so obvious I hardly need to point it out. If I decide to create my own rogue "Sealand"-esque state somewhere and decide to use this new system without licensing... Imagine the lawsuits, the outrage and subsequent horror this would create.
And besides, using a proprietary system for yuor ZIP code? Has the world gone mad?
Hopefully, this will become an example to be followed by other Linux distros.
I'm a bit worried about compatibility though. One should hope there are some ln -s 'es hidden in there pointing back to the "original" entries so that they can be found with the old names.
Anyway, great initiative! All we need now is Red Hat and Gentoo to copy you
That's funny compared to the country that won't offer jobs to people of an Arabic origin, stores illegal prisoners in concentration camps in countries they have, or dream of, occupying, that has effectively abolished any form of civil rights in less than one century and traded it for "National Security", and whose foreign policy roughly translates "bomb them before they can copy our weapons". (And sell their harbor to Denmark, no less.)
Which, I wonder, is more corrupt? Between Saddam Hussein and Bush, I would actually have to think for a couple of minutes if I were to choose one of them as my leader.
We, the non-Americans, or "everybody else", if you will, see this, but still, being the forgiving people we are, still don't go out of our way to delete your resumes.
Go ahead and check yours. It's probably still there.
Even if you put up a picture of Hitler over your bed and shout on National TV, "burn the Arabs! Fight the Arabic-Gay-Democrat conspiracy!", your resume will probably still be safe.
It's a shame, I think, that the Arabic people, whose only crime is to have crooked noses and bushy eyebrows, don't have this same privilege.

However, there is a Europe.
Stop by whenever you feel like it. Lots of software installation here.

Probably the movie. Try the low-Q MPEG version.
Oh, I meant that to be about Fanimatrix, btw, not Duality. Sorry about that.
The DivX itself is broken. I got it yesterday, and the audio starts desyncing severely near the beginning.
Use good old æ, ø and å, of course.
From one troll to another, I applaud your answer.

Actually, he WAS shaved at the "Free Mike Hawash" web site. Perhaps he hasn't shaved since then...

I watch anime. Tons of it. And I learn Japanese. Tons of it.
As I recently wrote in an essay, the problem lies with the generation that made these video games, not with the children who play them.
As the video game making generation obviously weren't fucked up by video games, we have to assume it was something else that did.
I think we should focus on this rather than assuming that these video games have an adverse effect at all.

Where is Waldo, anyway?

"Corrupt regime".

I'll stand up for them. You mark my words.
The ironic thing is that the Web was invented in 1993. This shows one of two things:
1) He patented something that he knew was already invented.
2) The web was so easy to invent two times in one year by two people, it was an obvious invention and couldn't be patented.
I'm so glad we don't have those kinds of patent policies over in Europe. Our businesses would just roll over and die before you could say "lawsuit".
I KNEW it wasn't just a Japanese accent in the Pillows song "Razorlike Blue"...
Probably something along the lines of "You're okay, so just relax. Lighten up a bit."
Yes, there has been life here in Europa for quite some time. Intelligent life too, contrary to some other continents. ^^
Well anyway, VeriSign isn't using UTF-8 domain names, it's using it's own, Internet Explorer only, proprietary domain name protocol.
What's the point if you, using your UNICODE browser and UNICODE system can't resolve a single VeriSign domain name?
