A) Don't buy a camera with this "feature" (or use an older camera without it - you don't NEED a 6-7 megapixel camera... I've got an old 3 megapixel camera and it works fine).
Or...
B) Use a real camera that uses film. I think it'd be pretty hard to implement this on a strip of camera film...
The unfortunate thing is... By based on, do they mean a modified version of libtorrent which they provide the source code for (but JUST for libtorrent - not the rest)? Or a plain version that they write more code to "wrap around" libtorrent, giving it the trackerless functionality? Or do they mean they simply stole GPL code, rewrote it, didn't provide any sort of source, and should be crushed into oblivion for doing something so wrong?
The Mac mini does seem to do the job getting at least a little into each category. It's cheap, not bad on features, and it's small.

Is IRC All Bad?
·
· Score: 1
Note well: I abandoned EFNet, Undernet and DALnet a long time ago, when they became almost unusable. There are little networks around now where the *real* IRC lives. You probably don't know them, and that's OK...they'd rather be left alone, far from the crapflooders and the warez kiddies and the skript kiddies and the rest of the miscellaneous lamers who make the big nets a living hell. They'd rather be hanging out in cyberspace together in their little cybernetic communities.
Very true. I run a server on a very small IRC network, around 50-70 regulars. Mainly a small group of anime fans, along with some computer geeks. It's relaxed, and a nice, friendly group of people, bar an occasional idiotic n00b, who gets put in his place VERY quickly.
I'm not going to say the address here, for the reasons you stated. If anyone really feels like visiting, drop me an e-mail, and I might give it to you, if you seem like a nice person.;-)
Sorry, I missed the part about "the older clamshells". I thought you were referring to the entire Zaurus line (in reference to the USB host, that is).
And I doubt pendrive makers would care much how power-hungry they are... They *are* meant to be used on desktop or notebook systems, which often have power to spare, as opposed to a PDA.
The ROM in it (16) is about halfed from the ~32 in other models. But remember, this ROM is JUST for the ROM image, the base OS. Other models have internal flash memory (anywhere from 32-64, if I remember correctly) for user storage. The C3000 DOES NOT HAVE THIS. The hard drive is IN PLACE of that flash.
And the SL-6000 has USB host, so the C3000 is not the first Zaurus to have it.
Why is copyright infringement starting to be considered (in the USA, at least) almost as bad or worse than murder? Murder is much worse than having hundreds or thousands of tracks of other people's music on your computer.
No, this does not mean that you can steal music and movies legally.
Unless you're outside the States. Then it varies. And it's been that way for a fair while.
Take Canada. We can share music legally, as long as it's for personal use only. Movies isn't so clear cut, but with music setting that precedent, I don't think it would be classified illegal.
Inner Light was, in my opinion, the best episode of Star Trek ever. The Best of Both Worlds (the first TNG Borg 2-parter) is a close second.
And on DS9's holodeck stuff... At least they handled some of the holodeck stuff well. Vic Fontaine was an interesting character, basically being a sentient hologram. But yes, some of the "holodeck syndrome" in DS9 was just silly...
The new writers seem to despise the "Temporal war".
I'm glad for that... A "Temporal Cold War" as they called it, is, theoretically, impossible. With time travel, a war would probably be solved in a short period of time (seriously, it's time travel, how drawn out can it get?) and even removed from the timeline...
Time travel has always been a little over-used in Star Trek, but season 1/2 Enterprise pushed it WAY over.
Season 3 was ok, but too long a story arc for my liking, and they solved it rather abruptly at the end... So far season 4 is good. Nothing too far outside the realms of believability, in relation to the rest of Star Trek.
And, while having the Borg in Enterprise was pushing it, they did explain it fairly satisfactorily, if I remember correctly. The Borg were frozen, leftovers from the Sphere in First Contact, or at least that was implied. It also implied, again IIRC, that the Borg sent a signal of some sort, drawing the Borg to Federation space. That does at least sort of fit into TNG's first Borg encounter, as that cube was already heading towards Earth, when Q sent the Enterprise-D there... Again, IIRC...
Back on the main topic though... Yes, the new writers are much higher quality.
Killing off Data was one of the best things they did in Nemesis. But that stupid "B4" thing was the worst.
Brent Spiner was getting old... He couldn't keep looking like a young android forever. The way they killed Data off was well done, in my opinion. But as I said, "B4" ruined it...
While it wouldn't be terrible if it were cancelled, the fourth season has started to be watch-able, if nothing else is on... But still, I don't think many would be crying over it's death.
Slashdot Mirror
OSNews carries "a quick roundup" of 18 (they are not kidding, eighteen) live Linux distributions.
...FreeSBIE (based on Free BSD)...
Since when is FreeBSD a Linux distro?
Maybe you should read the comments so far before making such statements.
Most people have said it's not a great idea.
You'd have to be really inebriated to make I/II something you can stand to watch at all...
Or maybe temperature controlled clothing... ...
On second thought, let it be the bikinis...
Either...
A) Don't buy a camera with this "feature" (or use an older camera without it - you don't NEED a 6-7 megapixel camera... I've got an old 3 megapixel camera and it works fine).
Or...

1-10 KB?
IRC bandwidth usage is MUCH less than that, per line sent...
Well, if the lost packets caused me to lose a little weight, I wouldn't so much mind.
Then how is this still a lawsuit against Linux? If they're no longer going after Linux itself, they cannot keep demanding $699 for a "licence".
As referenced at least once earlier in the comments, here.

If the US courts do uphold this, then they'd just be cutting themselves off from the rest of the world more...
I'm betting they'll eventually become an isolated country, killing anyone who tries to enter or leave... And I'm only half joking about that...
The hard drive is the main difference.

You make a good point.

No, this does not mean that you can steal music and movies legally.

Or better yet, let it rest for 25-30 years, bring it back, redoing it all. :) Maybe it'll make a BSG-style comeback then?

Seeing people in Star Trek running around with actual guns could have been well done.
And have an a-la-TOS fight scene every so often... Cheesy music, loss of shirts...

2.10 is two point ten.
2.10 in your context (two point one zero) would be written as 2.1.0.
We certainly do it to our Prime Ministers here in Canada...
