The BBC Creative Archive would make selected BBC material
This is not really suprising, Before Internet distribution was possible, many of the actors, writers etc were payed on a 'this program can be broardcast X times' basis. Now it may not be possible to contact them to renegociate netcast rights:-(
I was reading a book started by Bilbo Baggins then by Frodo with Peregrin Took, Samwise Gamee and Meriadoc Brandybuck and later translated by Mr. Tolkien.
I find that it is useful to watch the movies as if Peter Jackson had gone back to the original
sources and done his own translation/research comming up with a alturnate interpretation of the events
Just a thought: Become good with Photoshop, you can make a living (or at least augment it, career dependent of course) with it. In a case like that, Adobe wins.
that presupposes that once you do start to make a living out of it you use a
licensed copy
We often wonder about the technologies that didn't make it onto the radar screen - the big things that simply faded from existence before they were able to get any real market feedback.
If these things faded from existence they probably were not that big in the first place. I wish they had provided some examples they would be as interesting as the successes
When a product is no longer available for purchase, there is nothing wrong with violating the copyright. Technically, I'm sure there is. Morally, there is nothing wrong at all.
Would you destroy your copys if the product came back onto the market?
...is that someone will take my annoyances and write a book about those annoyances and then make a hella amount of money from it... leaving me holding my annoyances, until someone fixes it,
you could try buying the book. It would not sell very well if it was just a list
of annoyances.
Well, the fat guy in penguin shirt biggest annoyance is probably hearing another newbie asking the same question that had been answered three time today, so it's a draw.
Well he should just STFU, either he is working helpdesk in which case he is being
payed to answer dumb questions or he's crusing the net on his own time so he dosn't have to
prove what an Linux God he is cos he's read the manual.
One of the best things I ever got my son (age 4) was a cheap VGA digital
camera (Vivacam 20). He's taken about 1500 shots since Xmas (some are really
good!) he adores it and we save big time on development costs and can quietly
delete the Bart Simpson shots:->
The main problem is the exposure/flash setting interface really sucks,
so it basicaly defaults to outdoors shooting only.... Has anyone seen a
good kids digital camera ie cheap, camera shaped(1) and turns on the flash if there
is not enough light?
(1) the strange shaped cameras are really easy to get little fingers in shot!
The origin of the terminology is unclear. In 1952 Alfred Sauvy, a French demographer, wrote an article in the French magazine L'Observateur which ended by comparing the Third World with the Third Estate: "ce Tiers Monde ignore, exploite, meprise comme le Tiers Etat" (this ignored Third World, exploited, scorned like the Third Estate). Other sources claim that Charles de Gaulle coined the term Third World, maybe de Gaulle only has quoted Sauvy. However...
The term "First World " refers to so called developed, capitalist, industrial countries, roughly, a bloc of countries aligned with the United States with common political and economic interests: North America, Western Europe, Japan and Australia.
"Second World " refers to the (former) communist-socialist, industrial states, (formerly the Eastern bloc, the territory and sphere of influence of the Union of Soviet Socialists Republic) today: Russia, Eastern Europe (e.g., Poland) and some of the Turk States (e.g., Kazakhstan) as well as China.
"Third World" are all the other countries, often used to describe the developing countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The term Third World includes as well capitalist (e.g., Venezuela) and communist (e.g., North Korea) countries as very rich (e.g., Saudi Arabia) and very poor (e.g., Mali) countries.
No. It's an example of us stopping screwing it up quite so quickly.
It is however a good sign, we may have to wait for decades
to see ozone levels rising. This news keeps the pressure on to
eleminate production of ozone destroying CFC... there still being
used in the second and third world.
Other projects, like Mr. Brassil's at Hewlett-Packard, focus on designing a shredder that leaves telltale traces on the documents it destroys, allowing them to be pinpointed later.
Why on earth would you want to make a shredder that makes it easy to put the bits
back together????

IP address, they are making arramgements with the various british ISP for a list of 'UK' address .

From Bruce Perens article:-
These slides have several C syntax errors and would never compile.
It the Law, all programming presentations have at least one syntax error in the example code
that presupposes that once you do start to make a living out of it you use a licensed copy
You missed out:-

+1 very interesting... thankyou
I've never played a MMOG why were black dye tubs coveted?

How is the originator making money out of the deal? Unless its the ISPs charging by bandwidth...

I hear that if you set up a treadwheel in the woods, normal mice, voles etc will use it!
Perhaps its musine equivilant of hard drugs and the Great Musine Councel is running a War Against Treadwheels/p>
>"French" is what the "franca" in lingua franca means!
French is no longer the lingua franca,
FUD, there off their own turf, and likely to be a bit defensive.... it could be worse they could all be patronizing
French was the de facto lingua franca when France was a Great Power
you can just learn it and speak it and if you make something up and it's useful enough, everyone else will start using your new vocabulary too.The just learing it part is Tough Stuff
No other language is as practical and useful in the real world as English.
the fact it was the primary language of two sequential world superpowers may also have had something to do with its wide adoption
Comming from a land that has spent the last few hundred years scrapping with the French, I feel simply calling them arrogant is quite restrained :-)
Probably something to do with English being mostly made up of foreign words
This french habit is just arrogance.To the French arrogance is not just a habit, its a way of life
Shouldn't that be....
1. They ignore you
2. They laugh at you
3. They Logon to you
4. You Win
....and just a little bit doomed cos they told everyone about it
Why on earth would you want to make a shredder that makes it easy to put the bits back together????
