You missed the point; I don't think the GP disagrees with your sentiment, it's just amusing that a Christian would teach people to doubt that which they can't see for themselves. 'Cause, you know, faith, god and all that jazz, pretty hard to see for yourself.
Yes, but I'd have to download all the supporting libraries and I'm running Xfce4. That said, I use k3b, so I've probably got all of those libraries installed anyway;)
Version 0.9.2 onwards for Rhythmbox has built in support for the Audioscrobber side of things, but can't handle lastfm:// style links or last.fm feeds. Does amaroK handle this nicely?
BTW, amaroK is looking very tidy... I may have to try KDE again... some day.
As you're presumably a last.fm employee, you may be able to help me out... On your page at http://www.last.fm/tour.php?page=3 it notes that "The player is Free, Open Source, and available for Windows, Mac and Linux.". I've looked around your site and can't find any links to download the source though, so presumably I'm missing something. Could you point me in the right direction?
To make it even more blatant, add tank to the search terms. No results at all for china.
On the redirecting, I end up at google.co.nz if I go to google.cn from home, but stay on google.cn if I use my work connection (like now). The redirection that they've got set up sure is unreliable...
As a non-American, I feel somewhat safer; while unfortunate for Americans, Bush is pretty much making the US and their allies the biggest targets for terrorism. Seeing as New Zealand and the US haven't seen eye to eye since we banned your nuclear capable ships from our waters, I personally feel safer;)
That said, to your average suicide bomber, I am white and speak English; so might as well be from the US...
I didn't think it was any harder than any other Linux printer setup; I just wanted to know how it was done, as the original poster seemed to think it was easy.
Printer control simple? What are you using? I find printer control under Linux a complete PITA on all distributions. I generally solve this by not printing anything out at all if possible:)
Really? Seemed a little better founded than creationism though... Are you sure that creationism isn't just a plot by time travelling christians to make fun of FSMism?
Me: is the transmitted information encrypted en route or is it sent in the clear?
DIA: When information is transmitted between the passport and the reader the
information is transferred in the clear although physical shielding is
employed to minimise the risk of eavesdropping.
Interesting; I had an email conversation with someone at the DIA as well. They said they had to refer it to a specialist who would answer my question. The specialist then said that no, they would not have encryption but that they would have shielding in the jacket. Sounds like they've got their stories crossed...
I have 4 point something left on mine, unfortunately...
"The Department will also implement Basic Access Control (BAC) to mitigate further any potential threat of skimming or eavesdropping. [...] BAC utilizes a form of Personal Identification Number (PIN) that must be physically read in order to unlock the data on the chip. In this case, the PIN will be derived from the printed characters from the second line of data on the Machine-Readable Zone that is visibly printed on the passport data page. The BAC also results in the communication between the chip and the reader being encrypted, providing further protection."
It's worth noting that the New Zealand passports do not have this implemented; all data is transferred in the clear.
I'm a New Zealander and I mod the sheep jokes funny:D
A man passing through Australian customs is asked if he has any criminal convictions. He responds "I didn't know it was still a requirement to get in!".
"I can't wait though for them to implement something such as an RFID tag inside of these"
In the New Zealand passports, they already have. At the same time, they doubled the cost and halved the duration of the passport to five years. There was no period for public comment, it was presented as a fait accomplit, as they were concerned that there would be a rush on the non-rfid, cheaper, long duration passports. Well, duh.
The NZ passport data is not encrypted in any way, although they claim the passports have some "physical shielding" to minimise eavesdropping. Except that, of course, the passport will be opened to be read; so the shielding is useless to prevent eavesdropping.
They claim that the RFID part is to be compliant with the ICAO guidelines, but the guidlines only require biometric data, not contactless chips.
Yeah, this stuff is just great. I'm sure that nobody would ever misuse legitimate access to this data, or gain illegitimate access to it either. Yeah, real sure.
a) should cover you for linux as well, unless there's a vulnerability in iptables. Or unless you're a muppet who left yourself and run foolish servers - like the normal windows crowd.
Oh, come on. If your average speed is over the speed limit, then at some point in time you must have exceeded it. Even if your average speed _was_ the limit, you would have exceeded it at some time, unless you managed to hold _exactly_ to the speed limit the whole time. I don't think that this is a practical possibility. Seems clear enough...
Why is it "supposed to be done via plugins"? If it were included by default, then more people would use it. I have friends that do use Gaim, but are too lazy to install the gaim encryption plugin; if it were already there, it's very simple to enable it.

Ahahah, magic. I've been reading for years (more than the user id implies anyway) and never even knew that section existed.

Ah, to be limited to 1MB upstream. Almost everything in New Zealand is limited to 128K upstream.
Yes, but I'd have to download all the supporting libraries and I'm running Xfce4. That said, I use k3b, so I've probably got all of those libraries installed anyway ;)

Ah, wicked. Not the most intuitive, but I can see it now :) Ta for the help.

The problem is the drivers, normally :) You have the same setup I do. However, cups is hardly unique to Debian...

We'll enlist all the stoners, with their extensive experience growing crops indoors under lights, to save the world!
I give it a couple of days before someone retrofits your true story to make it a joke about New Zealanders :D

So are the sheep jokes. *Shrug* Mod overrated or redundant if you think the joke is overused, but troll wasn't really a fair call.

Out of mod points, but you're either +1 insightful or -1 muppet, undecided which...
That said, I hardly like the idea of being under surveillance continually. This has been reported for some time though (http://www.theregister.com/2005/11/15/vehicle_mov ement_database/) I would have expected several dupes from slashdot by now...
