No one seem to have registered Anonymous Coward, even though Slashdots seems to be full of people with this name. How is this possible? You would think that at least one of these several hundred Cowards would register with their name. Things must be going really bad for.name...
I don't speak Finnish, unfortunately. Or better to say, I speak it, but don't understand it;o)
LOL. You don't understand what you are saying?;)
...BBC was sistematic in reporting that Tibi denied this. The truth is that Tibi NEVER denied...
First time I heard about this case, but it sounds to me like BBC made the news propably based on what some advisor had said (they often deny everything, you know). Eg. On the Sept. 11 a member of some Palestinian group said that they had committed the attacks, even tough the leaders denied it shortly after. Or like the explosion in Myyrmanni, the Finnish shoppingmall in Vantaa were first reported as a (possible?) act of terrorism all over Europe. So the news leak often out uncomfirmed, because the news channels have serious competition on who gets the news first out (a bit like the First Posts on/., with the only difference that in these cases the news channel who gets the news first out often will become the most popular --> profit).
On the other hand, BBC NEVER reports of intercepted and destroyed explosive devices... ...don't you think that the interception of a 50 Kg explosive device would be newsworthy? Why are these never reported?
In Finland those news would be headlines for the next three weeks. I'm sure some of these are reported, but there could be several reasons why these are not reported:
Bigger news (like the Columbia disaster), meaning less time to other news
Not enough important compared with other news
"Nothing new"; the news about suicide attacks start to get of no news value, because it shouldn't be no surprise to anyone if a new suicide attack occur in Israel. So if successful attacks are about to become zero of news value, you can imagine that failed attacks aren't much more worth either.
etc.
As a news reporter you have to make compromises and try to choose the "worthiest" news, because there are no way everything can be reported. So BBC have made their choices, and it's up to you to decide if they are right or wrong.
Arafat has innumerable times been publicly encouraging suicide bombers and other forms of terrorism - in arabic.
If that is true it's quite wierd. Maybe they are avoiding criticism or something? Trying to be careful not to make someone angry or something like it? I don't know. That seems a bit odd to me too.
Mistä kaupingista sine olet? Ja missä?
Near the capital Helsinki. In Espoo to be precise.
Yes, of course, but since it would take me some time...
Sounds like a desperate try to avoid answering.;)
...just about the events in the middle east in general.
Well isn't quite everyone lying there? It's quite hard to make news in a situation where most of the statements are prograganda etc. Still from what I've seen, they've managed to do pretty well.
Actually, your nickname.... Mistä sinä olet? Oletkohan sinä suomalainen???
Että olenko minä suomalainen? No duh! Ootsä myös Suomesta?! Oisit heti sanonu!:)
You really believe that Israel would have blamed the plestinian Arabs?
No. I wasn't talking about Israel (the country), but Israelis. When the situation is as tense as it is, things like this make things even worse. So you _really_ need something to cool down people, and in this case it's that the whole thing was an accident. These people live next door to each other, you know. It's nothing like US vs. Iraq.
You watch way too much BBC World. The coverage of the Middle East by BBC is so full of lies that they don't even know where and what they lied, so it's rather easy to catch them with their pants on fire. They're so hell-bent on lying that sometimes one single sentence is in contraddiction with itself.
Pretty strong words you have there. Do you have anything to prove them?
Actually I cannot comment that any further, because I do not usually watch BBC. The only reason why I switched to BBC was that the local TV stations were not showing anything about the disaster.
I have to admit that my statement was wrong. I had tought that the Mac OS X icons were made of multiple PDFs (which can contain vector graphics), but obviously this isn't the case. I hadn't checked it myself. Sorry.
Those icons look really nice. But Mac OS X has already (at least partly) vector icons smoothly scalable from 16x16 to 128x128. They consists of 4 stages (16x16, 32x32, 48x48 and 128x128), and they work well in those ranges. I suppose it's theoretically possible to use even bigger icons in OS X.
Man, I didn't blame the terrorists! Think more carefully of what I wrote instead of calling me a fool: I was saying that it was dismissed too early by the JOURNALISTS, and I also say that it's stupid to think that a terrorist would try to use some sort of missile to take down the Shuttle.
AFAIK the possibility of terrorism involved was not outruled by the journalists. What I heard on BBC World was that the White House and NASA had told that there were no reasons to believe that terrorism was involved. So back to the question; I think that it was smart to outrule the possibility of terrorism because of the world situation. You could imagine what the Israelis were thinking (terrorism *cough* *cough*) when their first astronaut had died in this diaster a couple of minutes before their news channels would have started their live programme about the space mission. This was a really big event in Israel. So if terrorism wouldn't have been outruled in the very beginning they probably would have started to blaim on Palestinians. And you know what that would have led to. A bloodbath. So I think it was worth to outrule this possibility.
However the NASA and governments internal investigations should not outrule anything yet.
PS. I didn't call you a fool. I just said that blaming terrorists because of everything is foolish. There's a difference.
You're right. It would _theoretically_ be possible to sabotage the mission. In this case there is no evidence to say terrorism would have anything to do with this. The security controll was even tighter because of the first Isreali astronaut. I see no reason why to beleave this would be connected with terrorism.
It's foolish to blaim on the terrorist after every incident. I know it's much easier to blaim on someone, but no. You shouldn't do that. These things happen. It's probably just a serie of incidents. Bad luck. It's life, man. Try to accept it.
May God bless the families of the victims and all other affected by this incident.
Apple makes a great OS, and their systems are way cool, but the prices are insane! Apple is a software company that makes their money selling overpriced hardware. Their business model is crazy! Is it any wonder that Wintel boxes continue to dominate Apple in the market?
The prises are not insane. I think they are actually quite fair. Even tough you get on the paper better hardware from Wintel at the same price, I'll bet the Mac will be better as a computer. Personally I'm tired of those PC "high-quality" components lasting 13 months, poor compatibility etc. I still have over 10 year old Macs that work like new with no broken hardware. You can't say the same about my PC's. Furthermore, when you want to sell your computer, you'll actually get some money for used Macs. PCs are worthless after you bought them. I see no reason why not to pay some extra for stable and working computers.
I have never had any problems with php, because of the excellent, (almost?) clearly written documentation.
However what have suprised me on local php developer forums is that people completely new to any kind of programming find the site very technical and difficult to understand. Therefore will they often seek for alternative resources, like books or websites.
As you mentioned the free php projects, I have to say that I don't think that you can get very much out of those. I find it much better to look at small snippets than large projects, because it's much easier to understand. Especially for beginners.
Poor fellow. You say snow is a problem? Here in Finland snow is the last problem you start to think of while running all the time away time from those damn polar bears.;)
Do you really think this will be interesting? Why would anyone want to see never-before seen person like a producer of a game grab an award? Why you actually look at awards on the tv, is not because not the awards itself. It's because of the celebrities.

Why call it "Real World Linux Security"? The book sounds more like a book in *NIX security to me. Is this because Linux is pop, or what? Shees. The writer were even a developer of the Berkeley Unix.:-/

1. Does it run Linux
2. Does it play OGG?
Ofcourse not. Everyone knows that Linux has a lack of games, so it couldn't run on GameBoy Advanced. That wouldn't just be appropriate.

I use IE only on Windows Update on my Windows machine.

O'Reilly has a great service called Safari where you can read the entire book, searchable and everything, on their website.
Great link indeed. Too bad you can only use the full version for 14 days free.
Still $14.99 / month isn't _so_ bad, if you really would use these...
And who does check the articles? They could contain false information, right?
I think this is a great project, but I'm still using some other references to check the information , provided by sites like this.

So. Were have you been living for the last year or two? Ever heard of the iPod (5 GB, 10 GB and 20 GB models)?
which would mean it hasn't reached the mirrors yet
No. There were already copies of the release, on the mirrors I checked.
