Though it catches a lot of flack in Britain, the BBC funding model is brilliant for producing quality television. Because they don't sell ads, and are paid for by the government, but have commercial competitors, the BBC constantly has to be RELEVANT.
Whether or not they get funded or made commercial is regularly debated so they need to be able to point to instances where the BBC is meeting and exceeding the commercial channels. And since political and public debate never centres on just how funny Dom Deluise is, they have to do something more cerebral
That means they can't just go for popular tv, or educational programs but balance between them and add social commentary and cultural promotion. It has to be a reflection of everything Britain is and desires to be, or it would be shut down.
I wish we, NZ, had made TVNZ into the same thing and left TV3 to show lame American game show rip-offs.
If none of the candidates is acceptable then vote for the candidate least likely to win. Preferably this should from the local equivalent of The Monster Raving Loony Party. Failing that vote for a very small party with no chance of winning.
The idea is that if enough people start voting strangely, the real candidates will realise that many people don't care about their current agenda. Alternatively the lesser parties might actually get serious and organised, and change the world (in a very local sense).
Actually the article does mention democratic cheating. It's main point tho is that Republican cheating was massive, "egregious", and willful. They ignored decency, ethics, law, and direct instructions from judges.
All election fraud is a serious issue, and "everyone does it" is not an excuse.

Because that's just a red flag to all Arabs. To them the Crusades were a religiously inspaired foreign invasion aim at rape, pillage, occupation, exploitation and lots of destruction.
Hmm, now that I think about, only the rape bit seems to have changed...
The foot will heal, my Dad's arm will never grow back.
Something that seems to have been missed in this discussion is all the professionals that aren't in a "industrial" environment. Farmers for instance use every dangerous device I can think of but in an ad hoc manner. The safety procedures and automated machines mentioned don't apply to them and they lose bits all the time.
This invention is important and should be offered as an option, even if it is expensive.
According to the Arabs themselves, Arabia seems to be everything east of Iran, west of the Atlantic, south of Turkey(and the Med), and north of the Sahara. Certainly that is what Arab Bank depicts on its logo.
The Brits and Yanks have been fiddling around in there for as long as they have been great powers, like all the other great powers. Expect to see more Chinese interference this century...
Is there such a thing as Identity Insurance? If this happened to me, I'd definitely want to call my insurer, get immediate compensation and, preferably, sic them on to the scummy low-lives that f'ed up in the first place.
Cheaper than sending my rottweiler-like lawyers after them...
External sound levels vary too much, and I have external speakers that are for filling the house with sound. So there is no maximum volume to be set.
It's a cute reaction with little real usefulness. Hopefully it'll mollify some of the idiots complaining about having to be responsible for their own hearing but not interesting otherwise.
Which leaves only one question: why am I commenting on it?
I don't search for a lot of Spanish or German and I only have a few friends and one sister overseas whom I hardly ever e-mail but I do like having the option.
The internet is a success because lots of people like this option. Take it away and it won't be a success for much longer.
Mathematically the potential connections are something like n*(n-1)/2, IANAM, basically an N-squared relationship. Thus balkanising wouldn't divide the internet, rather it would square root it.
It seems to me that the common usage doesn't actually agree with your description. Technically you're correct but in everyday English "virus" seems to be used for any malicious application, whereas "worm" and "trojan" are specific varieties of virus.
So: a virus is a worm or trojan. a trojan is virus that tricks people into helping it. a worm is a virus that works without user interaction.
Exactly. How would you feel if Philips, for example, tried to enforce Dutch law on the US. Or Saudi oil companies imposed Sharia Law on all service stations? How about Royal Dutch Shell refusing to trade with the US until you instituted a proper Constitutional Monarchy like their homelands of UK and Holland?
Mind you, at least gays could marry, kids would think twice before shoplifting at gas stations, and Bush wouldn't have that annoying 2 term limit to worry about...
During the company re-branding last year I had to redo the website with new colours and images and layout and menus and everything. Since I used CSS obsessively it was reasonably easy to make a functional and relatively pretty website for mobiles as well. Just include a stylesheet of changes for media="handheld".
No phone will show anything worthwhile decently, get a PDA and use that as your aim. Also some very long/wide pages will need to be redone for the small screen, can't be helped I'm afraid.
There is no permanent solution. Voting in the "right people" is only temporary since people change, retire, and have to be replaced. You have to keep on asking yourself if you can still trust the politicians you have.
Vote against politicians that suggest these stupid things, vote against politicians that aquiesce to these stupid things, and vote against politicians who try and rig things so your vote, or anyone else's, is meaningless.
Vote for third parties, to keep the major parties honest.
Letter writing and phone calls are good too, but voting them hits them in the pay packet.
A clearly written and exhaustive SPECIFICATION is the best and only thing required for a successful program. Documentation, architecture, user manuals, and testing all derive directly from the SPECIFICATION.
Really, it works. Focus your effort on hammering out the speciification and you'll be amazed how easy the rest of the job is.
As for JUnit: I've never tried it, is it fattening?
These are all trivial and silly. For instance, I would argue that Apple has it right with the Command key and it's Windows that needs to catch up. I'm sick of breaking my hand in two trying to hit Control and another key at the same time, move Ctrl in beside the space like Command on a Mac and we'll all be happier.
He's just using a troll headline to drum up some traffic. And, damn it, I fell for it.

What about actually treating the poor bastards for their malady and not just throwing them on the junk heap.
Oh wait, that might look like we thought of them as people...
Nice. Here in NZ I get 2 votes so I can complain about the local candidate and still vote for the right party nationally. Or vis-versa.
:)
If it were available, I'd go with your suggestion but it doesn't seem popular with the people who makes the rules. I wonder why

Vote Early, Vote Often.
Vote against politicians that suggest these stupid things, vote against politicians that aquiesce to these stupid things, and vote against politicians who try and rig things so your vote, or anyone else's, is meaningless.
Vote for third parties, to keep the major parties honest.
Letter writing and phone calls are good too, but voting them hits them in the pay packet.
I have to take issue with this.
A clearly written and exhaustive SPECIFICATION is the best and only thing required for a successful program. Documentation, architecture, user manuals, and testing all derive directly from the SPECIFICATION.
Really, it works. Focus your effort on hammering out the speciification and you'll be amazed how easy the rest of the job is.
As for JUnit: I've never tried it, is it fattening?
When something goes wrong: Apologise early, apologise often.
Cover-ups never, ever work and sincere apologies make it hard for people to beat up on you. This only works if you do it early tho.
Since when was three thousand years a short time? 7000 if you include Egypt.
I would also like to point out that Turkey, Israel, and Iran are all genuine democracies and arguably middle eastern.
Anybody that doesn't want to die of skin cancer.
New Zealand has been dealing with the direct effects of the ozone hole for over a decade. Every spring it breaks up and the burn time in NZ plummets.
Isn't that what you can do on the train already?
I've always hated the directories to the top thing. Could someone explain to me, slowly of course, why it's considered a feature?
Apple is doing just fine.
These are all trivial and silly. For instance, I would argue that Apple has it right with the Command key and it's Windows that needs to catch up. I'm sick of breaking my hand in two trying to hit Control and another key at the same time, move Ctrl in beside the space like Command on a Mac and we'll all be happier.
