    If your constitution is out of date, what is the process for making an amendment?

  7. Re:Boo hoo on MySpace CoFounder Says Purchase Was A Scam · · Score: 1

    It was actually my Amiga 500 which worked with games MUCH better than the 500+ which Commodore had replaced it with.
    The 500+ was not compatible with lots of games and since the original 500 was not available they went up in value.

    Granted it was shortlived, but for about 6 months after I sold my original 500 I was offered larger and larger sums of money to find one.

    God I was a pimply faced youth back then.

  11. Re:More Importantly... on New DNA Test to Solve More Cases · · Score: 1

    I don't know about speed, but what it does allow is a mixed DNA sample can now be broken apart into each person who left it.

    I am still not sure whether it is based upon sheer pattern matching (the UK has largest DNA database in the world) or if it is some other method.
    However in the news I have seen they are comparing cig butts and glasses for things - in my none expert analysis, these things are usually (though not always) single user items.
    What they haven't said is the real meaning, mutliple sperm samples or blood pools (they do actually mention sweat).
    I also don't understand how they could handle family relationships, ie a pair of brothers with lots of matching DNA.

    I hope it isn't based upon a best fit (well suspects A+B+D make up this sample so its them) because that doesn't account for the single person who has the combined DNA.

    Actually, it leaves at least a couple of other options

    3) They buy a new computer with Vista installed and run it to death.

    4) They put their hand in their pocket and buy it, its not unheard of for people to just buy things you know.

    Personally, I hope people will revert to Linux, but until its as idiot friendly (its getting there) it just won't be an option for most people.

    Greetings,

    This is something recent that has changed in how Google handles
    email (other sites have started to get the same errors). We
    are investigating how to deal with this.

    SourceForge.net Support


    Is it because sourceforge is not following the RFCs and google has just tightened up?

    We had a similar issue in one of our programs where mailing worked wonderfully for months and months for all customers, then one morning complaints started.
    It appears as though we weren't following the RFCs to the letter and the main isp in our country (bt) had updated to a more stringent mail server (we shockingly used an additional CR where one was not expected...).

    This all sounds similar.
