To be more precise: in Dutch 'vorst' can also mean 'King'. It means Fuerst in German, but I don't know if it can have the meaning of King in that language.
:) From the same organization that gave you the No-Fly List: Information on Liechtenstein. In german it is called a Kingdom, but they indeed have (just) a Prince
It took humanity some time to discover the concept of zero and have a word for it. But the ability to use it, has always been there (dammit, I don't have food for the night. Or: I won't give you anything)
But once there was a grasp of the concept (or a word representing it) it meant a great leap for, for example, math.
At least the security system is working VERY visible! I can imagine:
'Sorry sir, but we can't let you through' 'Do you know who I am? I AM senator Kennedy!' 'Even if you were the King of Liechtenstein, we can't let you through' 'I'll have YOU fired first thing in the morning!' 'Please do, but could you step out of the line please, sir?'
Or the old joke 'Sorry sir, but we can't let you through' 'Do you know who I am?' (Intercom)'Can somebody help this person? He doesn't know who he is...'
The least they could do is to make the writing more consistent with the pronounciation of words, because, opposite of Chinese, English writing is based on phonetics.
(But this is something that should be done with more languages)
I can't agree with 'a) a waste of money', because you get some IP (unix) for it (which you can use to sue other companies;) ) and you save yourself some laywer costs.
Quoted from the article: The cargo would be designed to infect, without harm, any DNA-based life it encountered.
There, they KNOW that we are a DNA-based life form, universally sprung from a watery solution, the salty sea. Like we all know, that harmless DNA can be engineered quite easily. That's why I don't understand that all the rocks from the moon (and mars) are in quarantine
purely philofosically: We are not ALONE. I mean the diversion from the earth being the centre of the universe had some impact. People got killed for the idea alone. Better to have a good neighbour than a friend that's far away.;)
As stated elswhere, clicking on every popup window that comes around is not a good idea. Therefore another proposition: A 'whitehat' virus with the following text: "You have a security hole and this window is the proof of it. Please go to the ManufactorX site to download a patch, before malicious content can access your computer"
No links, no OK button, just a little clickable X in the upper right corner.
The parsing is equal in terms of technology used, but different at the point, that they go through its (private) contents. It's different from (activelly) searching information on the internet (public space).
It's like you've got a letter (old fashioned one) from a friend, telling you about the nice car (or anything else) he bought/saw on the street/etc. and you get an ad with it in you mailbox from your local cardealer. Do I have a problem with that? Yes. Because of the possible logging. Just the fact that they can keep a list of ads attached to my account, makes me nervous, because indirectly such a list can say a lot about the content of you mail (cars, but also pron, (fill in other bad thing)), even when they guarantee they would never touch the content again. Now what if I have a crazy friend who regurally sent me stuff like the anarchy cookbook? Or some kind of spam gets through the filters? (You know what's in there, and you DON'T want even more ads like it on you screen, let alone be archived in a list)
You feel the same way about OTHER companies, but why not google? It's just a company, right?
Slashdot Mirror
in a sense it is: I haven't read a post like this before, so as a 'first of its kind' it has new information __for me__ ;-)
In the article: But [TT] also said it might accept a takeover offer if the right offer emerged.
Well, if you can convince your laywers that they get a reasonable amount of the take over sum, then they will go to the bottom of this.
Yeah, but more disturbing is that glaucoma runs in the family (at least mine) AND that I am a heavy computer user (tft, although)
shouldn't that be 'Excellent, dude' ??
just use your thumb, fella. That's how you came here in the first place, isn't it?
would 2.5 not be sufficient? I assume that 'extremely large' would be something like 2.999999...etc
No, but not all cluefull users want to spend time configuring their desktop
Probably you sweat it out (taste your lips on a warm summer afternoon)

yep your right, it's my lack of language knowledge, not me being from TSA ;)

Cool info site BTW

I suppose doing anything more sophisticated than a page reloading script is beyond them...
Just post it on Slashdot, same effect.

We don't need to search there.

Is slashdot hacked and used to spam all readers with books on sale from David Brin? History is being made.
