I seem to remember reading about a programmer who had a little toy duck sitting on his monitor, and whenever he got stuck, he would explain the code to the duck, and he would suddenly "get it"...
If I only I had a duck, then I wouldn't have to endure my house-mate jeering at me when he finds a stupid mistake in 2 minutes when I've been stuck for hours...
Those are all compound words according to reference.com, personally I think "apple sauce" should be two words, but what do I know?:o) For that reason...
What are:
pine white or white pine?
crab white or white crab?
White sauce I can see...but unless you're describing a pine and a crab as being white, they're meaningless, you may as well replace white with any colour. Unless I'm missing something...
The in-store listening-posts or whatever they call them are indeed groovy.
The 30 second limit on iTunes sounds a little stupid to me, it would make more sense to let people hear a whole 64bit encoded mp3.
Reasoning? Jump to 30 seconds into:
American Woman - The Guess Who
The End - The Doors
Beyond The Realms Of Death - Judas Priest
Champagne Supernova - Oasis
Here I Go Again - Whitesnake
You Can't Always Get What You Want - The Rolling Stones
Today - Smashing Pumpkins
The first 30 seconds of these isn't really enough to get a good impression of the song, either because the kick-assedness steps up after 30 seconds, or because the lyrics don't start until later or both. Maybe I'm making something out of nothing, bearing in mind that most pop music lasts 2 minutes 30 seconds...
And...if you're a parent who wants to listen to a track before downloading it for your young child, you should be able to hear the lyrics and decide whether they are appropriate...
It depends on the value of the information within. If it's important enough to worry about whether a master password exists...then I'd suggest that it's important enough that people will remember their password and not need it.
If I buy a 50 quid wall safe and lose my key, I could probably go into any locksmiths and get a replacement key for that model safe. If I spend 1,000,000 on a bank vault I'd like to think that no generic or master key existed...
Backing away from the analogy quietly for a moment..I think it would be pretty simple(for Cisco) to enable the backdoor login only via a console connected to the serial port and not remotely..
The article doesn't mention that the device would block pagers, and *I* don't know enough about the principles to state absolutely either way...but maybe you do.
It would be lovely if everyone was considerate when using their mobile, just as it would be lovely if people stopped committing murders..unfortunately...people are fuckwits.
These devices should be available to everyone, as long as they properly advertise their use and provide a landline...IMNSHO of course..

Actually, if she's determined enough to bookmark the site, then edit it to point somewhere else, you'd better stop her saving pages...in case she edits a link and opens up the new, local page which has her link to www.innocentSoundingURLThatPointsToGoatPorn.com.

"Another thing they were interested in was in defecating and urinating all over the keyboard," added Phillips, who runs the university's Institute of Digital Arts and Technologies.
Eventually, monkeys Elmo, Gum, Heather, Holly, Mistletoe and Rowan produced five pages of text, composed primarily of the letter S. Later, the letters A, J, L and M crept in.

Certainly you had airplanes 'everywhere', but great deal of them were barnstormers or air mail. Travel by air was limited to major cities and wealthy individuals.
So..what...on our space-travel timeline, the Wright brothers is 50s/60s progressing to 20-30 years later when it's limited to governments and wealthy individuals.. It's short-sighted to rule out the possibility that space-travel can't progress in the same way as flight.
That's because of the great demand, intense competition, and decades of the air lines honing and polishing their operations. And it's only in the last few years that prices have really dropped.
What do you think the X-Prize is doing? Private individuals/companies are competing with one another for this prize.Are they going to stop the second someone wins? Or so you think maybe they'll continue developing the tech and try and sell passenger seats on flights? The latter may be a little off the mark, but I'll bet it's a metric shit load closer than the former.
Your closing argument that "air travel is popular because it links *places*" is just fucking stupid.
You don't think that people consider space to be a place? This may not be reaching LEO just yet..but you can bet your bottom dollar that if they ever do, people will want to go. Why do you think rich businessmen will pay through the kazoo to go up in those russki crates?
You didn't see that space documentary he made with...what was that guy's name? You know...the one who sung about the little fella in the Peter jackson movie...
Not sure about GNER, but on several journeys between London-Ipswich and London-Plymouth there have been announcements to the effect of "you can upgrade to first class for 5-10"
London-Ipswich is only a couple of hours journey, but it would really be worth it to upgrade on the 5-7 hour PITA that is Plymouth-London-Plymouth...
I imagine the same would apply to London-Newcastle, London-Scotland...
That is a simply amazing idea...you sir are a genius. How many spam e-mails are there floating around the internet purporting to be from some spurious e-mail at hotmail.com (anna342ds3421@hotmail.com)?
If you wanted to communicate something to a person without the message being picked up, you get the person to sign up to porn and spam lists with their e-mail.
When you want them to launch their attack, or to come over for some hawt loving behind their husband's back, you register an e-mail as anonymously as possible, and send them a spam e-mail containing your message. I've recieved 100s of e-mails along the lines of:
beat landhold die ntis ugly vitreous digital
burn able weco lace
pouch riboflavin metalwork academician dharma complaint grille
To the untrained eye, this is meaningless, not as easily flagged as an "encrypted" e-mail or as obvious as "Move every zig! For great justice!" and it has the added benefit of getting lost in the shit-storm of real spam.
Of course now I suspect I shall be arrested for facilitating terrorist acts.
Would he be equally culpable if he repeatedly tried, on a smaller scale, to book free tickets from work which he cancelled at the last minute and his new employer was monitoring his PC without his knowledge?
Or in this case, what if his employer or some unknown party snooped his login and then proceeded to misuse it without his knowledge? Sounds like a reasonable defence...
I guess it depends on what terms and conditions were specified when they gave him the login and password. If he had to sign an agreement when he got them..presumably they would still be in effect as long as the Login/Password was active.
If the use of the login and password was specified in an employment contract though, would he still be bound to the Ts&Cs after he left?
