I'm assuming this is for pay as you go phones too, but you can still just take an hour ferry ride or a 20 minute eurostar ride to france. Purchase said cell phone sans passport. Vodaphone will even charge you the same rate for international calls if you sign up for their passport plan -- plus a 79 eurocent surcharge. "Security" like this only works if the ONLY way to get a cell phone is with a passport -- if foreign phones work you effectively have a loophole
Seriously, base 12 is very practical because it has more factors than 10. 2,3,4, and 6 vs 2 and 5. We really should be using a base 12 decimal system rather base 10.
So why not go with something like base 144 where you have even more factors than 12? This line of reasoning can be continued ad infinitum. Frankly I think 10 is fine, it's just a cut off where you get lots of factors and you don't have to memorize some obscene number of factors
Remember a multiplication table has as many cells as the number of the base squared. 10^2 = 100. 12^2=144. 14^2 = 196. And that base 60 system you'd like us to use again? 3600 entries! The only people who would have been able to do math prior to calculators would be really smart people with good memories -- you would have set all of civilization back because nobody could do the math necessary for everyday living... In fact, maybe that contributed to their demise...
Mandriva was the best distribution ever until 10 fucked it up. I was a long time user and their newest version was so buggy it was like going back five years...
That's why the european system of including sales tax in prices is so much better. If you buy something for 5 EUR you could buy for 5 EUR somewhere else, who cares if someone cheats?
Actually it depends on the type of corporation and the tax structure you choose. If you're talking about a classic "corporation" (C Corp) or any other corporation like S corp, LLC, you need not just to keep books but keep books using a double entry accounting system (e.g. not a shoebox full of receipts but a bonafide accounting system).
Self proprietorship with small sales volume? Don't worry about it...
You know what I don't understand? If people, really, truly, 100% believe that the LHC is going to cause the end of the world, why aren't you selling your possessions, buying a plane ticket to switzerland, and doing everything in your power to stop it? Blowing it up, or killing some dignitary, or SOMETHING. I mean, if you're dead anyways, why not?
It's not difficult to set up a user with read-only access to mysql, and read only access to your entire web content. Since apache just basically points to a directory (or directories depending on how you set it up), to restore a backup you just copy the static content to/var/www/html/ (or wherever it's stored), and load up the MySQL data. That's it -- no possibility for a rootkit, and who cares if they have your password -- they only have read only access. I would guess if there was anything particularly sensitive in the OP's server, they wouldn't be looking for such a service.
Perhaps you should walk or ride a bicycle instead, fatty.
This is America. We don't "exercise" off unneeded pounds. We go for broke with baryatric surgery or weight loss pills that carry a warning to bring an extra pair of pants wherever you go....
A trip wire like for a land mine or methods of destroying the data? I wonder how the defense would stand up in court "I'm sorry judge, if they'd presented me with a warrant I could have given them what they wanted -- but my anti-corporate espionage system destroyed all my data"
I thought that the memories of the Geheime Staatspolizei made sure the germans would never approve of such things...
Most people who were alive to see World War II Germany have passed on. I think this allows the forgetfullness we see across the world -- and unfortunately is allowing history to repeat itself in the restriction of rights in many countries...
But that's not what he said. There was no substance to his response -- just one sentence that was probably posted quickly in order to be the first post without getting modded down as troll....
How are they supposed to keep competitors from using their standards if their standards create reasonable sized files that stick to the spec AND are an improvement over existing file types?
What if you were getting paid a million a year to waste four hours a day, and you couldn't get a similarly paying job elsewhere?
Yes? Maybe he's not making a million a year, but there could be a level where the wasted time is worthwhile. I know I would rather make 20% more a year and commute an hour each way on the train, than get a lower paying job. If it were 50% more a day, I'd waste those four hours!
I would liken this to cheat codes in some video games. Many gamers refuse to use cheat codes even if they're available, or play on super difficult because of the challenge. For other people, cheat codes are a way to skip a lot of the crap that comes with games.
The problem in an MMORPG is you get cheaters and challenge seekers playing together. The cheaters think the challenge seekers are looney for working so hard at a video game, and the challenge seekers think the cheaters are, well, cheaters for trying to get something without earning it.
I was listening to an NPR article a while back where a representative of the RIAA got on, and he used an analogy: "If you go to WalMart and buy one vase, you can't then copy that vase at home and have a new copy for every room in the house for free. If you drop the vase and break it, WalMart isn't required to let you have a new copy for free."
However, this argument runs into problems because if we follow their model -- one copy per device -- we're not following reality either. Before MP3s I would have a case of CDs I would take with me to listen to on the go (for use in my discman), in the car, at home, and at a friends house. If my friend liked what we were listening too, I could make him a tape without fear of getting hunted down by the RIAA. The new paradigm of software -- with lots of DRM crap -- essentially doesn't allow for that. Content creators are pushing for one copy per device period.
So the question is, with this new medium which doesn't behave like anything that existed before it, how should laws treat it? Whereas in the past cost prevented mass duplication of many things, it's now essentially free. As a society, we need to come to terms with digital intellectual property, and figure out how to create a set of rules for fair use that really are fair -- and don't bias themselves towards content creators or towards consumers.
40 hours x 0.15 / 1.5 = 4 hours overtime a week to make up for the lower. That's one hell of a raise for anyone who routinely has to pull 60 hour work weeks.
I think Openoffice (and gnumeric and koffice) are slow mainly for high end users. I often open up large spreadsheets (10s of thousands of rows) in Windows that Office handles no problem which cause gnumeric and koffice come to a grinding halt.
But the great grandparent was talking about jobs in Bio. My point is that when you choose your career, you choose how much schooling you need to pursue. There are plenty of jobs that pay well with just a college degree (or less than a college degree), and there are plenty of jobs that pay terribly with with much more than a college degree (what do you think a PhD in history makes?).

You can get a state ID which is effectively the same thing (minus the actual license to drive).
Which costs money -- in NY it was like $50. So the homeless, who are on the corner begging for change, can just cough up the money I guess?

What if the hawking radiation theory is wrong and the string theory is correct? Can they be exclusive? Or are they tied together?

Hopefully they'll include their Linux drivers.
If you're going to make a comment that useless you might as well just say "frist p0st!" and be honest about your intentionsSo if this is not a rifle range, should the people showing up be scared of this guy's gun?
Is any of that actually true?

I think Microsoft should bundle Media Player in the same way Linux bundles media players:
:-)
# apt-get install media-player
Under that logic, Linux also bundles everything you could ever possibly want to do with a computer and thus has a monopoly on computing.
