I disagree. You can't steer trains into buildings. You can't even steer modern trains into other trains because there is an integrated security system. You can't hijack a train in motion because normally, locomotives are separated from the rest of the train.
With all those non-problems, why would you screen all the passengers? All a terrorist could do is take a bomb with him and blow up his neighbors, but then he could do this at any densely populated urban area (like times square), too - so you would have to screen people whenever there are a lot of them in one place...
I'm hoping for gPIM, with email, address book, calendar, notepad, a contacts-db and a small word proc, all integrated and ready to use: Click a person and see all the emails to sent and received from him, your phone calls, meeting notes and much more. This would rock!
And I'm also hoping for gWiki, where small organisations can just click twice and get their own wikimedia to play with.
DRM systems are broken in minutes, sometimes days. Rarely, months.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the original CSS take over 2 years until it was finally broken? And the culprit was that a certain PC DVD-player software didn't encrypt the key correctly, and without that hitch, we could possibly still be without CSS?
Similarly, isn't the XBOX copy protection scheme already 2 years old and still uncracked?
I think this is a strong argument that DRM indeed can work. Yes I hate it, too, but the article seems a bit on the wrong-ish side, doesn't it?
Slightly OT: I just tried to use it cross-platform (one pc with aim and one mac with ichat) and I had tons of problems. Does anybody know where to look to solve these problems - are there any specialized boards or webpages on the topic?
No no no, an Adjustment Layers doesn't contain any bitmap information at all. It just contains the adjustments, like "make it b/w", or "adjust levels". You can change the layer below it and the adjustment layer immediately will do its job over anything that is below.
I think what you tried is duplicate a bitmap layer and transformed it. Adjustment Layers are different and more flexible.
Grandparent failed to explain the crucial point of adjustment layers: You can always modify, or temporarily/forever remove the adjustment, even after saving the file and opening it again a year later. It's just like a layer that "adjusts". Yes Gimp can do B/W, but can he do Adjustment Layers?
which is about 75 liters / 100km. Does anybody know how much gas the Veyron holds? 80 liter tanks are very common, so it could race a mere 100 km before needing to fill up. Plus this would mean that the tank is empty after 15 minutes or so...:-)
Sounds very much like seventies to me... take a look at the rhytmic sforzando accents of Barry Ryan's Eloise and the fanfare-like soundtracks for Dallas and Dynasty.
Of course, there are millions of songs that never became very popular. Heck, there might be zero information about your sample on the internet. You might ask some DJ of some 70/80s station instead, don't know.
I think the reason for this is the URL/Javascript trickery that a9 does to ensure that an entered query won't redirect to "a9.com/?q=myquery" but instead to "a9.com/myquery", which looks nicer.
The first version works too, by the way and is the default behaviour if javascript is turned off. Try turning it off manually and see whether the back button works again.
By the way: generic.a9.com (the supposedly privacy-safe version) doesn't work at all in Safari. No results displayed at all. Does it work in other browsers?
URL Short Cuts: At A9.com you can search directly from the browser URL box by typing:
a9.com/query
I think this is extremely cool. A short way to enter queries by even bypassing the home page completely. I suggested this to Google 3 years back, but they wouldn't hear. I hope they will implement this now in some form.
Oh c'mon, random fires appearing from nowhere, that's nothing special. Watch me pulling this trick off, right now:
Hey Linux lovers, you suck! I hate Einstein. All nerds have pimple issues. Fancy-dress freebooters! Ectoplasmic Byproducts! Carpet-sellers! Kleptomaniacs! Tramps! Vegetarians! Pickled herrings! Megalomaniacs!:-)
From the article: So far, no one has found a road-and wheel combination in which the road has the same shape as the wheel. That's an intriguing challenge for mathematicians
Well, how about a road that goes straight around the globe. Ride it with normal tires and you get the same shape for road and wheel: a circle.
Hmm, is this the girl started the idea of gmail in the first place? According to their press release:
The inspiration for Gmail came from a Google user complaining about the poor quality of existing email services, recalled Larry Page, Google co-founder and president, Products. "She kvetched about spending all her time filing messages or trying to find them," Page said
So the girl's name's April and this gmail thingie was her birthday present?
In other news, this seems to be the only hidden page on the gmail server, there are so far only 4 pages on it.
I've found no way of adding my own site to it. How about a little form to do that?
I think having Icons with 16x16 pixels size as a standard view would also make it a bit neater, as no pixel artifacts occur and it's the standard size in my browser
Loading time would speed up extremely if you hosted the pics at your server and turned on http keepalive (or whatever it's called). The pics are not really big in size that this would kill your server, wouldn't it?
As a swiss guy that visited the US four times already as a tourist, I can clearly say that I wont visit this nice country again after these measures are in effect.
Maybe I plan a last trip before they start, but after that, I'll have to wait until you get back to friendlier ways to handle visitors. Sorry.

Exactly. Read this, somebody found a way out... but nobody listens.

Anybody agrees? Say "yeah"!

Great media coverage... beats CNN

Could you give us a direct URL to this tool?

You know, it's kinda difficult to search this site for "tool that checks if I'm on internet2"
Thanks!

Yeah well the question is "why won't a9 let us turn SafeSearch off?"
Me too. Actually, make that 1024x768, and 1 - 70 fps variable speed mode and I won't have to use a 16mm camera ever. One can dream...
