It'd have absolutely nothing to do with the male-majority of law makers being homophobic, while still maintaining fantasies of a ménage à trois with their wife and mistress?
I agree - their readable and writable by humans, but often very verbose, and if dealing with a large number of different xml files from different projects (e.g. Spring, EJB, app server configs and other random Java stuff) then its hard to remember all the different options and their expectations.
What I was proposing is a commandline editor similar to 'ed' but specifically for XML files with auto-hinting and validation based on the schema/dtd files.
In the end you'd probably have something quite similar to the Cisco IOS console, but it would work on any xml file, and more significantly make my life easier:)
Take a look at programs like OxygenXML - specialist XML editors, then think about how these could be applied to commandline editing:)
Most of the time I've typed 5 or 6 characters and the auto-completion engine in Eclipse picks up the most used functions and lets you continue typing, meaning most of the time I type only half the functions name then hit the enter key to continue in the the arguments while at the same time popping up a reminder of which arguments and their types that it expects.
I've found that it doesn't get in my way and most of the time I it speeds up the manual labor part of writing code, it lets me express my ideas quickly.
XML is such a terse language, really - ignore what some people say, but it's not meant for humans.
Sure, you can read it but writing it using a normal text editor is a boring, error-prone job that will drive any admin nuts if they are forced to do enough of it.
Why not be _really_ innovative and provide a shell to manipulate XML files based on the schema.
You can't have looked hard then, there are many good quality IDEs for PHP out there, although notably the big three are:
Eclipse PDT (and Zend's PDT based 'Neon' product)
NuSphere PHPed
Zend Studio
Sure it takes a while to get the hang of the nuances in function naming and parameter ordering, and even now I still need to lookup some functions in the manual, but for most purposes the auto completion in Eclipse PDT works well - it fully supports auto-completion for user & system code along with classes and javadoc/phpdoc style documentation comments.
We have a number of customers using VoIP over satellite connections, it takes a few seconds to get used to it for both people on the call but after that it's hardly noticable.
I don't call it blackmail, I call it a free market...
Companies have a financial incentive for keeping their products secure, open source projects have less of an issue because the money just isn't in it. All this is - is one company spending real money, hiring well paid analysis to plow through machine code or source code and analyse vulnerabilities. The reason they can afford to do this is because the market is full of companies willing to pay for this stuff...
Thats where your code of ethics goes out of the window!
With open-source projects, there is still a market of companies using that software but at the same time there's a limited timespan before it's usually discovered by somebody else. You know very well that if you advertise you've found a security flaw in open source XX product you're going to have hundereds of people scrutinising it and to develop a fix - because it's benificial to everybody (so the code of ethics lives strong).
It doesn't help that `Real' has a bad reputation, but by doing this and with holding it, Gleg are doing exactly what they set out to do in the first place and doing as any successful business man/woman does: identifying the market and targeting it appropriately.
This happens every day not just in software security, but in every other industry yet people just consider it a normal day in the office and maybe grumble a bit about it.
In an ideal situation ethics and social benifit would come first though... yet this is in practice incompatible with the free market, just for the reasons above.
That would defeat capitalism though, and at the moment I don't think I could trust one big anti-virus vendor knowing the attempts of various governments recently *cough*germany*cough*.
Well, other than Russia is mostly connected to the rest of the world by land.
You know, their in a pretty good strategic position for Europe-China links if somebody can work out how to lay thousands of KM of fiber relatively quickly over land, at the moment most of the Chinese sites I visit still get routed through America, largely because the cost of laying undersea cables is relatively low for the distances it covers...
However, if you wanted to cut the UK off from the rest of the world, that could be done relatively easily... if you attached one of our main european links to a large ship and pulled... how much gear would come with it?:) (imagine the frantic admins running after a Catalyst chassis scuttling towards the sea)
State-run newspapers said an 11-km (7-mile) section of stolen TVH fibre-optic cable would be replaced at a cost of $5.8 million. It was part of the line that transmits data from Vietnam to Thailand and Hong Kong.
In all, about 43 km (27 miles) of fibre-optic cable is missing, including about 32 km (20 miles) stolen from a cable operated by a Singaporean company.
I really don't know enough to speculate, but one question is: what's the long term ecological and biological impact going to be?
If these things don't breed... then they start dying off? Then what happens when the mosquito population severly reduced, will other insects take their place, or will the ones naturally immune to this grow bigger etc...
Although, a world without mosquitos would be nice:D
Let him run, his "disability" resulted in the amputation of his legs at only 11 months old iirc. If others want to compete - they can make the choice of cutting off their legs in order to compete on the same level...:)
What I do find very interesting is how more effecient these are compared to normal human legs, surely we could so something similar with specialised running shoes/attachments ?
Because eventually their going to make most of my job illegal so I can move onto other more interesting things... like working in marketing or middle management
How the hell are you supposed to run redundant DNS setups when zone transfers aren't allowed? Sure there are inventive ways, but... DNS WAS FRIKKEN DESIGNED FOR THIS!
Last.fm does their watermarking this way, or atleast thats what I think it is.
At specific points in the track it'll jump 1/16th or something equally small but still noticable, and I've always presumed that they were part of a watermarking system. It's quite annoying to listen to because it throws you off balance for a bar or two, but I guess it serves it's purpose well...
Other than snipping bits out like that, I can't really think of any other watermarking system that would work across multiple encodes/decodes at different qualities. The same system is used to watermark DVD screeners (or so I'm told), when specific sections go greyscale for a different amount of time, basically it's removing information which can't be recreated (and even if it were recreated, the watermark would likely be detectable).
You need to remember that a private establishment can refuse service to you for whatever reason they want. Also, the level of apathy in this country has risen to the point where no one except the few of us on slashdot cares about privacy. And the few that do aren't American:)
Well sort of. It wouldn't be a two party system anymore, people with the same political ideals and aims would unite, so instead of having to choose individual to run for president, you'd vote for your favourite party to run the country based on their political stance etc.
IMO the voting system in the united states is broken, and the people in power won't let you fix it:)
What a load of bollocks, so I go in-store, and instead of purchasing the CD and ripping them myself, I get a lower quality version already ripped.. wait a minute... this is going to be cheaper right?
Some other shops have got it right, like my local Virgin Megastore who let you pick any cd or 7/12", scan the barcode at a listening station and listen to it before I buy the physical cd... if I can't even do this in their stores, then they've got the completely wrong idea and are so disconnected from their own customers that I really feel quite sorry for them.
Yes, but... * You can't use things like DUNDI to make telephony networks available via mutual trust. * You don't get handy me@example.com VoIP/e-mail via appropriate SRV records. * Third parties can't implement it easily for new hardware or operating systems. * You're essentially tied to a computer or one of the select few phones that support ype. * You can't choose which provider you use for outbound calls (e.g. if Skype's routing is crap to some destinations, you're stuck). * Want an incoming number in your area? Skypes coverage is thin and lacking.
The benifits of Skype with unified messaging/calls doesn't outweigh the problems it brings, as long as it remains based on proprietary protocols - it's already doomed in the long term.

It makes me cringe when I see far right free market capitalists talking on FOX or CNN.

Honestly, I don't think they have a choice, they can either accept the offer.. or be witness to a hostile takeover.
I think you're forgetting a key thing though...
If you want to send a very strong political message to another nation... how would you go around doing it?
Sorry :(
Can I have my porn back now please?
Wireless is not an alternative to a LAN... in the situation you described (e.g. home user, some computers, a console) - it _is_ the lan!
Well, other than Russia is mostly connected to the rest of the world by land.

Clicky clicky: http://www.reuters.com/article/internetNews/idUSHAN1727620070607?feedType=RSS Fishermen who were allowed to take unused war-era undersea copper cables have gone too far, "salvaging" fibre-optic lines providing some of Vietnam's Internet and other international communications.
*snip*
