the Irish stuff up IP laws in EU - but they make Guinness
no, the Irish government stuff up IP laws... they don't make the Guinness. its fair to say this is something where only a very small minority of ireland actually knows about it.
north and south of the border, we are not exactly famous for having good politicians (*cough* terrorists *cough*)
we use SUN in our university network and i got to do my first ever SUN Blade powercycle 2 days ago. come to think of it, it did take a whoping 5 minutes to boot up though.
aah, finally i track down the mystical Jedidiah whose stylesheets i "borrowed"! you left a note on my blog good sir, but never left an email and the one on your website does not work (even the one in the GPG key).
i meant to say, but never could, that you are free to "borrow" back the XHTML-1.1 compatible stylesheets i made from yours, and you are also welcome to my image page's PHP and my blog setup (which will encoroprate your style nicely!). i noticed you needed those things from the entries on your webpage.
to be fair... the last two statement were correct when said, and are therefore still correct! however to put them back into context you would need to say something like
"Airplanes were just interesting toys of no military value in 1911"
which doesn't make Marshal Ferdinand Foch look so stupid. i have no knowledge of this man, maybe he was an idiot... but maybe he was just a realist. and in this case... he was right and you have taken him out of context.
your other examples are good as they were very poor predictions:-)
i wouldn't get so excited... anyone sure this works? i mean, if you watch the video, they order a medium crust pepperoni and mushroom pizza, but a thin crust one is delivered; you can even hear him say "cool, thin crust, i've never had that before".
Beethoven's gone but his music lives on,
And Mozart don't go shoppin' no more,
You'll never meet Liszt or Brahms again,
And Elgar doesn't answer the door.
Schübert and Chopin used to chuckle and laugh,
Whilst composing a long symphony,
But one hundred and fifty years later,
There's very little of them left to see.
They're decomposing composers,
There's nothing much anyone can do,
You can still hear Beethoven,
But Beethoven cannot hear you.
Händel and Haydn and Rachmaninov,
Enjoyed a nice drink with their meal,
But nowadays no-one will serve them,
And their gravy is left to congeal.
Verdi and Wagner delighted the crowds,
With their highly original sound,
The pianos they played are still working,
But they're both six feet underground.
They're decomposing composers,
There's less of them every year,
You can say what you like to Debussy,
But there's not much of him left to hear.
Finish: Claude Achille Debussy, died 1918.
Christophe Willebaud Gluck, died 1787.
Carl Maria von Weber, not at all well 1825, died 1826.
Giacomo Meyerbeer,
still alive 1863, not still alive 1864.
Modeste Mussorgsky, 1880 going to parties,
no fun anymore 1881. Johan Nepomuck
Hummel, chatting away nineteen to the
dozen with his mates down the pub every
evening 1836, 1837 nothing.
LOL... you just described my life as an LFS user; thank god i upgraded to debian... I HAVE MY LIFE BACK!!! (after i `apt-get update` just one more time today...)
if there is one thing i have learn from being in the army, it's never ignore a pooh pooh. i knew a major... got pooh pooh'ed, made the mistake of ignoring the pooh pooh. he pooh pooh'd it! fatal error! cuz it turned out all along that the soldier who pooh pooh'd him had been pooh poohing a lot of other officers. who pooh pooh'd their pooh poohs. in the end we had to disband the regiment! moral totalling distroyed... by pooh pooh!
there are plenty of open source professional packages out there... but you won't find them on freshmeat; in my experience they lurk on some random's homepage and you need to know people in the field where that is. they all do very specific tasks; and the grandparent was making a joke:-/
so what if i was to post Pr0n spam using a letter as the medium to a company's employees? is it the employer who gets brought up in court? and i walk away? no way! and why should email be any different? this is just stupid madness... what is the EU thinking?
in my post i was referring only to the ip reverse lookup bit... the md5sum check i missed the first time; it sounds like an overweight version of "greylisting" which is when a receiving mail server gives a temporary failure to all emails, any self respecting (i.e. non spammer) SMTP will move along and not resend the message... but the respectable ones will. any resending servers will be whitelisted.
that is actually a damn good idea... but it's already been done, but the whole md5sum and reverse lookup bits are total overkill. using greylisting, my university account has gone down from 100+ spam emails a week in my inbox to about 10 a week.
that is a ridiculous anti-spam method... it may come in as a weighing factor into indentifying spam, but it does not catch all spam, and in my experience falsely tags ham (i.e. non spam) as spam. i can't even count the number of people i know who use yahoo (as an example) accounts, but use their university or personal SMPT server to send emails (i also do this).
add on top of that the possibility of faking the IP (i've seen it... it happens). when people talk about authentication... they don't mean IP authenticated... they mean using crypt keys (and then there are the unrealistic CPU cycle "payment" ideas)
long story short... until the whole protocol gets rewritten (very unlikely) or politically it is impossible to send spam from anywhere in the world (also unlikely), then the best we can hope for is programs like spamassassin which have weightings for all the telltale signs of spam.
for some reason people like yourself seem to think there is "one big telltale sign to identify all spam"; well, in spamassassin you can assign that telltale sign to give a million spam points if you want. the rest of us will continue to let the people that know what they are doing assign more sane points to individual telltale signs... because by your reasoning, my inbox would most likely be empty.
That old hat is a refreshing outlook on a distribution? Surely you jest. Its a good outlook, don't get me wrong. But I don't know that I'd call it refreshing.
i think the parent got mixed up and meant to say that to your point 2... the source based distro. AFAIK FreeBSD has _always_ been source based. sure you can download the binaries... but they are usually so old they are not worth downloading. if you want the latest program in FreeBSD, you just gotta use the source ports (in/usr/ports IIRC).
personally, i find the debian way of doing it is much more efficient... but then, the last distro i used was LFS... and it takes a hellova lotta time to maintain!!
here, have this -1 cursed post...

aah.. its probably only quoting people doing the single course with the exact title "material science"; i would just throw that statistic to/dev/null as most material scientists i know of did physics specialising in materials (and besides, its a much more hardcore course)
But it's just another course trying to entice non-science students to do science
no... its really not. the guy giving the course theorises that the general public learns more from movies than school classes. he doesn't want more physics students; he meerly wishes the movies to more accurately portray physics, and not have more classic "mission to mars" physics (newton? who was he then?)
Which do you think produces better scientists?
well, even that's debatable;-) [by the way, i think your numbers are off... my UG uni alone takes about 20 students a year on materials physics]
