Except for the fact that in order to use this for longer then 10 days, you need to have a payed account. Not that I condone botting (I personally find it irritating as hell) but I don't for a second buy the "lost revenue" figures. You need to be a paying customer to use this. As far as I'm concerned, there is no difference between J Random Shaman farming motes for 10 hours straight and J Random Botter botting for 10 hours. They're both paying.
Hasn't this already been done?
I seem to recall nefarious crackers using the myspace embedded video feature to serve up Windows Media files that took advantage of code execution in the Windows Media Player.
Or is this just new an interesting because it's flash, instead of WMV?
Get it? We're big, really big, and when you add in the fact that our interior isn't a barren wasteland like most of the other big countries we have a whole lot of people spread out all over the place.
And yet, we can somehow mange to cover pretty much the entirety of the country, regardless of population density, in ROADS. Something that's much harder ( I would imagine) to build up the laying a few pieces of cable.
The population density/size of the country argument is bullshit, plain and simple. We've already covered the whole country with a network or roads and highways, and made it accessible to damn near everyone.
The fact that we can't do this with internet connectivity is absurd, plain and simple.
The chinese do it as well, for example 88 is used for bye bye, (8 sounding like ba so ba ba). I have friends who do 99 for night night, but I'm not to sure how widespread that one is.
However, If you are an MCT or MCP, and try to access the official Microsot Certified Trainer/Certified Professional website, IE7 will happily not load it up, giving you a big warning screen and saying that this web site cannot be verified, because the certificate has expired.
The beta has been out for a year - much of the point of that being to give hardware manufacturers a chance to support it. Don't tell me 1000 other companies are able to develop drivers to support Vista on launch but not Apple.
What, you mean like nvidia?
It tracks the location of your kids phone.
This is an important distinction to make. Intentionally or unintentionally, kids (and adults too) forget things.
Heck, i could turn this to silent, hid it in a library bookshelf, and look like I've been studying for the past several hours, when in fact, I've been smoking in the boys room.
All this does is give a false sense of security to parents who are already too "busy" with their lives to watch their kids.
This model has been a several years long labor of one of the profs in the planning/arch department at University of Buffalo. Yet somehow, mysteriously, this exact same modle ened up in google earth, without attribution. No one at UB is admitting to doing it, but I can't help but wonder where this data came from.
Another poster said that cryptome would probably have this at some point in the future, and it's a safe bet that they will.
Personally, I'm wondering if there's a google cache or wayback machine archive of the site. I need to go dig around because this is exactly the sort of information I need to have my laptop next time i take an international flight;)
That's cool and all, but how about a universal binary folding@home client?
Or at the very least, an intel compatible one. Running F@H under rosetta is barely worth it.
They say here that they used a webcam to do the facial recognition. I haven't RTFA yet so I'm not sure which brand or model they use, but would the average webcam provide a high enough resolution to do effective facial recognition?
Would it be possible to write a simple hack that uses the built in camera on a macbook to do the same kind of thing?
Any facial recognitiion experts out there care to weigh in?
I haven't tried Gentoo on OS X but I have tried DarwinPorts, the OS X version of the BSD ports system. If you are familiar at all with the ports system, then DarwinPorts will be right up your alley. I love it. It doesn't seem to have the breadth that fink does, but it's still rather nice.
Unfortunatley, it does seem to be hosted on the OpenDarwin servers, so I wonder what the long term plans are for the maintainers of the project. I hope it can continue to exist, as I for one would miss the nice ports style installation and management on OS X.
I had some surgery as a result of which I was unable to sit down for a while (yeah yeah I can hear the peanut gallery already). In order to manage this, i simply propped my keyboards up on some boxed, tilted my monitors up, and got on with life.
Honestly, it wasn't so bad. At the end of the day, sure my feet and legs hurt a bit more, but after a few weeks even that did not occur. And i did not feel at all as metnally tired as I would from simply sitting down.
So maybe programming while standing isn't such a a bad idea. That said, I now work as an instructor. Most of the lecture time i spend on my feet and at the end of the day I find that, while my feet and legs might hurt, mentally I am not nearly so tired or weary as I otherwise would be.
In short, what I am trying to say is that I think standing while working is a good idea. If nothing else, it's a nice change of pace for your average programmer/network jockey.
I don't know about you, but when I start up VMWare in windows (or parrellels in OS X) I definatley notice a performance hit. I find it difficult to believe that somebody wouldn't notice the fact that larg(ish depending on how exactly this is implemented) chunks of RAM and disk space are suddenly in use by some rogue program.

Each gas that comprises the atmosphere has the capability to act as a greenhouse gas, and each one blocks different wavelengths of infared radiation. Some of then trap it when the sunlight passes through the atmosphere, some of them capture it when the radiation bounces off the earths surface back into the atmosphere.
C02, Methane, and *gasp* water vapor all contribute to heat retention in the atmosphere. It's basic Geography 101 shit that everyone learns.
However, since water vapor is, you know, an integral part of the atmosphere and several cycles on earth, we really can't do much about that. Better to worry about all the other gasses we up dump into the atmosphere that we can control.
Give students the option to engrave their names and a phone number (somthing that dosn't change: mabye the lost-and-found dept.) in large, friendly letters on the cover
For this, i reccomend your Drivers License Number. It's unique to the student, and it's not like your SSN where if you make it public, you get screwed. I don't even think it's linked to anything else.

Maybe you should start modding down.

Funny name notwithstanding, it's a pretty cool little MMORPG that's done entirely in flash.
It has free to play and pay to play modes.

Hilarious.
Anything that could actually improve the quality of ads is a plus in my book.
Also, I don't have a tivo, so that helps.

Anyone out there that can clue me in?
Just out of curiosity, which blog would that be?
I think it would be rather interesting.

With the quality of the articles at Biology News
It's always high quality, but the discussion could use a little *ahem* beefing up.

Give it a shot, you might be suprised.
