People do not instantly jump onboard a project without seeing some benefit themselves. If you cannot code, discuss it with some of your coder friends, write a blog about it, ask slashdot (you could have told us what it was about).
GET PEOPLE INTERESTED.
I also have lots of ideas and have spent the last 6 months picking up my c skills and learning about Linux. I did not sit down waiting for someone else to write the code, I got off my ass and learnt how to do it.
Its been a hard slog and often I've wondered whether its worth it, but lots of nice things are starting to become possible with my code.
If you do not put in the hard work you cannot expect others to. Additionally, if you think you will get bored of a project partway through then is it really such a good idea?
Think about most of the successful products over the years: they exist for a long time and I would hope the original visionary was still there to guide the process for a long time:)
I believe they are talking about the logs kept by the ISP rather than anything stored on the machine itself.
Its currently the same situation for users who delete their own history, its gone from the local machine, but that does not mean it was not logged elsewhere.
I wonder how the browser privacy feature will work regarding external content from sites:
flash files store preferences outside of explorers' reach. java applets get placed outside of the cache. movies files play outside of ie. pdfs might open outside. word documents listed in word recent files list.
theres many more programs and protocols which would leave tracks.
people expecting privacy mode to actually keep things private are going to be in for a BIG shock.
Polishing anything requires a lot of skill to get it right. Its just as easy to screw up your cd than to make it better.
Learn how to carefully polish things before you start and practice on things you don't need.
Toothpaste will not remove scratches that you can feel, but it may clean out the grooves of the scratch enough for them to be read.
If in doubt, speak to one of your friends who buffs and polishes their car every weekend - they will likely have the tools, polishes and most importantly knowledge available to cure your problem.
And when planes fly overhead and take pictures anyway, what are you to do?
The government is one thing and can get this redacted easliy, but if google earth had to hide the data within the boundary of every single area of private property we wouldn't be left with much.
CPUs with correctly seated heatsinks which stay within their prime operating temperature usually have no problems. However its rather easy to get the wrong amount of goop or something else wrong with the airflow, or just a marginal chip, etc
I had an AMD t'bird 1.4ghz which would NOT run happily at 1.4ghz no matter how much I tried. In the end I gave up and ran it happily at 1.33 for years.
Slashdot Mirror
I was wondering if it was possible he bailed out when he realised it was going down?
Will we find out if he had a chute?
have they looked *up* from where they found the money?
Login to slashdot and assign modifiers to comment ratings you want to hide or see.
Browse in bliss with a high signal to noise ration (or vice versa).
The slash commenting system is not perfect, but its very very good at what it does.
I would like to see its principles used in more places.

It could be fun, like playing online minesweeper.
Do a search for terrorist videos and try to identify all of them.
Careful not to tread on a rickroll though.
agreed, NTL and telewest (now Virgin Media) have laid down a great deal of this fibre network already.
The cost to finish laying to the entire country is probably included in the 5.1B (fibre to the street)
Thats right, when you can't find the real reason blame those too drunk to respond.
Winos are not responsible for every single badass event in the universe you know.
It could just as easily have been this Pamela woman.
I was speaking to someone in Florida who said they just chuck everything from the garden into the pool when it gets a bit windy.
Seems like a reasonable solution for your tech stuff as well.
if($hostname==slashdot.org)
connection.drop();

Thank you.
Your posting is one of the most concise overview of the benefits of using open source software.
It is not that it will save money, it is that that money can stay in the local economy.
Are you sure thats possible, I thought Microsoft Access Databases were invulnerable?
I think paintings and sculptures do not fall into uncanny valley because they are stationary and unmoving.
No human can remain THAT still and be alive hence no real problem.
Hey, the homeless get free showers and the prostitutes stop being dirty*.
Win/Win.
*Of course, she might have to do a little gymnastics depending upon the location of the cleansing jets.
Wait until the drones start hypermiling and catching the draft of passing jets.
Then we will see MPG figures increase.
Of course someone with a honda will just tape wings onto their car and beat it hands down, but they tend to be frowned upon.

Realistic space sims would be good.
Waiting 17 years to reach the next destination will be exciting.

There is an assortment of additional video links on this page
http://www.tudelft.nl/live/pagina.jsp?id=1468ded9-96cb-47dd-aed3-da0a70a34813&lang=en
Its like they are catering for everyone, because each link has a different format.
I wouldn't know: i have an n810.
Hardware keyboard FTW
n8x0 has an ARM11, its all packaged inside an OMAP2420 from ti.
It even looks like we will be using the powervr 3d soon as well.
Multitouch would be nice of course, but I don't hold 2 styluses at the same time.

No problem at all, i was just walking through the thought.
Good code is timeless though and efficient algorithms don't expire past a certain date.
I don't see how they can force a vista upgrade on the user.
I haven't got a dodgy copy of Windows to try but maybe someone could confirm.
technically, don't you just "rectify" the issue by purchasing a license from microsoft when they tell you its dodgy?
