Right here, we all *promise* we wont exploit them or anything;)
Problem with web based ideas, is that they are public, I believe the GPL is the best protection at present, but even that is being exploited by unscrupulous corps.
Even more than that, the very head of the page states the following:
Windows XP Service Pack 2 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers
This installation package is intended for IT professionals and developers downloading and installing on multiple computers on a network. If you're updating just one computer, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/protect.
we are IT Professionals, we wish to install it on other peoples' computers. In order that we can facilitate this, we are transfering the file to its target via Bittorrent.
Your sig mentions that you are looking for a posting as an "multivariate data analyst", perhaps you would be the person to at least investigate the data:)
Assuming you have some spare time (looking for employement because between jobs for instance) it might be something that could lead you into a whole new area of expertise, and possibly open up new avenues for yourself.
So in IE7 slashdot will be screwed up and displaying over to the right hand side inside a black background with black text?
back in reality, your absolutely right. I think the public will accept a few minor tweaks to how they operate, and for whats allowed, but the problem at the moment is how well will sites render in the new version? should Microsoft maintain that backwards compatibility, or bite the bullet now to clean up their act?
I personally feel that microsofts fumbling on this IE issue is actually them trying to listen to us. For years and years, we the annoyed techies have been screaming about yearly releases and unfinished software, now they try and buckle down to sort that out, were screaming that we want new features?
It kinda makes me smile in a go linux way, but its also sad, because as a developer myself, I certainly wouldn't be happy with my software if some of my customers were unhappy using it.
Windows does what it does, in its inperfect way, but it works, most people can operate it, its simple to pick up, and as much as we moan about it, gettin paid to clean off spyware isn't all that bad.
Firstly, I'm actually English, so this may explain my slightly scewed perspective.
I would not expect every library up and down the country to hold every single book written by every single author, its simply a matter of shelve space in my eyes. I do not see any book offering a counterpoint to any subject to be unacceptable, but when it is simply shock value i fail to see the validity of taking up space which could be used by something a little less angered. From the lyrics of the songs I have caught glimpses of, had these actions been real, the person would be punished by law.
In do not expect to ever go to the public library and find goatse peeking out at me from the shelving.
Regarding the governor making a decision, if every decision depended upon consultation with everyone involved nothing would work.
At the end of all this, we are only talking about a few albums from a much larger "gift", the majority of which are being distributed to the libraries, and that is a major bonus:)

I think about all code in some form of pseudo language, and once I have it straight in my head, I shoehorn the idea into whichever language is currently in flavour. ok its been vb recently ( yes shoot me now!) but still think roughly in c:).
I think this is similar to spoken languages, all your life, you will think in your native language and apply a filter to the output depending upon circumstances.

Does the library have to accept EVERYTHING offered to them?
Could somebody walk in off the street with his Video tape or audio recording of a mugging and have it put on the shelves?
Whenever I walk into a library, I don't think to myself, ooooh I'll just go down the porn isle and browse the hardback volumes, I expect a public library to stock reasonable publicly acceptable works, for anything more offbeat, I would expect to go to a proper book/album/movie store and pay real money for them.
Has there been any reports on how the cancer was caught so quickly?
He uses Norton 2004.
Now in reality:
I actually think it was caught partly through luck, and partly because his healthplan will be the best of the best, and most of us wouldn't have any chance of this being spotted so early.
As I recall, the ban was put in place not to protect the people who lived adjacent to the airport, who are already used to hearing noise, but for those living x miles away under the flight cone of the jet at supersonic speed. Remember, a supersonic jet flying less than the speed of sound is just a jet.
In the earas close to my local airport, its not uncommon for homes to be triple glazed to help with regular jet noise.
Even old style film rolls are processed in 20-60mins as standard. Heck, even my printer can do better!
The asda (walmart) near us has a decent enough processing lab (digital and roll, paper output and cd copy from a variety of card formats) and gets them ready by the time we've finished shopping.:)
Slashdot Mirror
Sure there is.

In other news, the first recorded original story on slashdot has been found.
:)
It has been carbon dated to within the mid 1830's.
It has been duped 4796 times since then.
I actually like these kind of outlandish irrelivent stories, must be a slow news day...

He refused to accept an unsuitable gift.

Meet you at dawn, you have your hard core illicit, illegal p2p Client, and I'll bring a big gun.

Your right about automation, even InstallShield can do it!
. If they're big enough you're going to be knocking people over if nothing else, then while they're on their back maybe you can drop a bomb on them
Like playing quake with god mode turned on?
I thought slash was screwed properly earlier.
I have now discovered i cannot login at all, and this is the server thats giving the 503s
I had no slash for a few hours until I found this out.

Your right of course,
its easy to take local services for granted when living near a large city.
3 days for printed pictures?
