I would pick b. As an organization that represents the blind, it's my job to make sure the blind can access things, not to do somebody else's job (check for warm bodies).
if i were writing a spambot, i'd have it use the content designed for screen readers, cause i'm sure it'd be easier to parse. Heck... as a sighted and able bodied person, I prefer facilities which accomidate those with vision and mobility impairments, because they are easier to access.
hey dumbass... the article is about BLIND PEOPLE not being able to READ TEXT FROM IMAGES.... the parent of your post suggests that the text should be in the webpage, but require some intelegence to determine what it is, which would limit robots and people like you from signing up, but not discriminate against blind people... and you suggest that they put the text into an image
its rarely insurance that's required... its usually proof of financial responsibility...
in california you can provide proof of financial responsibility through insurance (with at least some specific coverage amount), or by posting a bond (of a specific amount).
my experience with credit card processing (from a few years ago, so it may be dated) was that there were several open source projects that interfaced with popular credit card processors. Also, the credit card processors sometimes have an https cgi server you can access from your processing machine, and they give you good specs so you can customize whatever software you have to work with theirs and charge people.
None of the handful of credit card processors I worked with required any of the software I setup to be certified.
while televisions are technology... i think this question comes up frequently enough that he wouldn't need to go to a tech lawyer.
all he really needs to do is call whoever makes the media he wants to display, and have them send him one of their contracts and a bill... but if he can't figure that out by himself, he should probably go to a laywer so he can find out what other shit he's doing wrong
would you mind sharing your openssl command lines used to generate the stuff? I was able to generate a file using openssl that aim claimed to be importing, but then it refused to actually use it... giving me no help in getting something it'll use.
I'm pretty sure XENIX was scrapped in the early 80's (82 or 83 i think) and I think it ran on x86 boxes.
Apple did have A/UX (i think thats how it was spelled) which was a unix that runs on some of the 68k based macs. I think A/UX provided access to the finder, so you could have GUI vs command line goodness arguments.
On the other hand, I don't know why people bother buying the book, it's all in the lecture.
Of course, I tend not to take notes either, cause its all in my head (this doesn't always work, especially when I skip a week of classes to work on senior design)
3) EyeBright. Mighty powerful herb, can clear up to alcoholic level red eye syndrome in 20-30 mns. Your eyes will go bloodshot red to pure white. Guaranteed, plus 100% natural. Take 2-4 pills as needed, 2-3 times a week. Helps improve vision slightly as well. This heals your eyes, not a quick fix solution only.
I prefer Hemlock tea. It's also 100% natural, and endorsed by Socrates. (You never hear about him having eye strain do you? its cause of the tea). Of course, you have to find a hemlock tree yourself, but its well worth it.
I agree that it'd sure be nice if copyrighted works had a date of release on them, and it would be nice if there was some way to get copies of everything that was copyrighted... however, there is a huge volume of copyrighted electronic works, and I don't know that I want my tax dollars going to storing all that porn.
if you hit certain arrows, you pick up attacks to use on the other player. depending on what mode the game is in, you either hit a button or it'll automatically use the attack.
attacks include making the arrows go faster, fade in and out, wave from side to side, spin, and theres more that i can't remember
For future reference, the University of Southern California (USC) is not a multi campus school, it is located in Los Angeles, but that doesn't make it USC-LA
The University of California (UC) is a multi campus school, it has a campus location in Los Angeles, which means there is a UCLA.
you said: However, we do not currently have tools that can check for any and all errors in programs, and do not currently have the ability to write bug-free programs that are in the hundreds of thousands of lines or more. Thus, there's not much point in punishing people who release buggy code -- because it can't possibly make people produce bug-free code.
It may not be possible to write bug free programs, however it should certainly be possible to write programs that:
#1) Have no buffer overflows #2) Do not run code received from a remote location without authorization #3) Have a working authorization system
I believe the first internet worm (in 1988) propigated by buffer overflow... its been nearly 15 years, and people _still_ don't check their buffers on internet servers, whose fault is that but the software engineers involved?
I'm not asking for the world here, but best practices of design, code review, and QA should be able to cover my three issues no problem, and there is no reason that microsoft can't cover those issues too. Perhaps lawsuits like this will give them the necessary kick in the pants, since apparently, nothing else will.
wow... so theres at least 1024 phones that'll do j2me?
(i'm not terribly surprised, but that does sound like a lot)
I'm assuming binary use of your hands... i suppose you could easily do ternary since it'd be pretty easy to determine between unbent, fully bent, and halfway bent on figures... which would make the number of phones you'ld need to have to be more than you can count 59,050
you only have to pay for the damages if you're most at fault (generally)...
most of the popular reasons for being at fault include violating traffic laws (going too fast for conditions, being in the improper lane, running a red light, hitting a pedestrian, etc)
as a more prudent example... lets say you and i operate cd stores. You chose to sell cds at your stores with a smaller markup than I do. You're still making a profit on cds. This causes me monetary harm, since customers will go to your store instead of mine, or I'll have to reduce my markup to keep customers. I can't sue you about it, can i?
Slashdot Mirror
are there any pure text captchas? there are plenty of people with visual and audio imparements.
this seems like an arms race that's bound to fail... i don't see the point in pursuing it.

when i was in high school, i arranged my rides home through the use of collect calls from 'insert parking lot name here'
no quarters needed (a phone is still needed though)

in california you can provide proof of financial responsibility through insurance (with at least some specific coverage amount), or by posting a bond (of a specific amount).

thank you, that worked... goodbye signing messages under the name 'thawte freemail user' :)

i put in the national identification number 'toast'
it seemed to like this (but it said 'none' was already in use)
my ass the US government didn't create the situation. hordes of people don't get pissed off at you cause you were just minding your own business
*sits corrected*
thanks

on the other hand, if the author dies and leaves no heirs, who can file a suit against me for violating his copyright?
they've added player versus player.

arg... i hate it when i miss something stupid like that when i'm being a twit
i thought the most obvious way to save a file in a text editor was
1)rename existing file to file~
2)write buffer to new file with original name
thats what most unix editors do, and it seems to work pretty well
