All these studies have ever proven is that there may be a correlation between heavy internet usage and loneliness / depression. The problem they completely ignore (or perhaps the ones ignoring it are the reporters writing about it) is that correlation does not prove the direction of causality. Does the internet make you lonely, or does being lonely make you want to use the internet?
Nope, nothing to do with commercial ventures. What's the point of having a cross-platform library that is free on some platforms and non-free on others? (Try finding an up to date Qt for Windows).
If Qt was free, you'd see all that free Qt-based software running on Windows. Since it's not, all it is is a convenient free GUI library for X programmers...forget the cross-platform idea.
WxWindows, on the other hand, is free on all platforms it supports...and supports Python as well as C++. The docs might not be as good as Qt's, but they're good enough.
No reason to keep promoting a non-free project like Qt. http://www.wxwindows.org/ provides a free cross-platform, multi-language library...give it a try!
No, it doesn't break forwarding as long as every hop's SPF is properly defined. The include keyword in SPF lets you specify the mail servers that relay mail for you, and so on.
Of course, this opens the possibility of extremely long include chains that would keep your DNS busy for ages, but hey...
This is nothing but FUD to distract people from the well known fact that they're supposed to present their infringement evidence in court today (deadline ended six hours ago, I think...if I have my timezones right.)
This just screws the people on dynamic IPs even more than we were before. I guess I'll have to keep paying a monthly fee just so I can have a smarthost to tunnel my mail through, since even more mail servers are going to think I'm a spammer now.
I'm sorry, but this is just about as complicated as an elementary data structures assignment. Wow, an arbitrary size memory buffer with an underlying linked list. Hot shit!
A couple of years ago I convinced the administrator of my school's Linux lab to disable open TCP connections on X by making a little script that ran xscreensaver to blank everyone's screen out and require a password (mine). And, to this day, the lab is a safer place for it.
This kid should have been given a gold star or something. The idiot who should have been raked over hot coals is the network administrator who left the (more than well documented) "feature" open.
Punishing children for being curious and innovative is NOT a good idea, nor is it a school's job. This kid learnt his lesson: don't try to learn anything, and if you do don't let the system know about it. Play dumb, and you'll be rewarded. Kudos to that school...good job morons!
My limited experience with the.NET framework made me want to slit my wrists with a spoon. You're talking about a product that makes J2EE look like a good idea.
On one hand, I'm breaking out the wine for a little celebration. On the other, this is the Inquirer we're talking about guys. I might save the bottle for when a reliable source follows up this story.
What are you smoking, chief? I rip every CD I own to.ogg format, because lugging around a backpack full of CD's isn't an option.
When will people understand that music files aren't just for pirates?
That'd invalidate all evidence stored in rewriteable media. Oh, and email evidence. Not gonna happen, kernel.org is as good as SCO's "evidence" repository.
My bets? The Horse and his Boy gets axed, and The Magician's Nephew gets merged into other stories as flashbacks/stories told. THAHB doesn't really impact the storyline at all, and TMN is only *needed* to explain a few things in The Final Battle (and a few other things such as where the wardrobe came from.)
That's too bad, though, because they're both great stories. =/
I also recommend reading them in the original order, since understanding The Horse And His Boy pretty much requires having read The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe. CS Lewis wasn't exactly fond of lengthy character re-introductions on every sequel (and I thank him for that.)
Darl can't even spell properly.
"The FSF and Red Hat believe that the progress of science is best advanced by eliminating the profit motive from software development and insuring free, unrestricted public access to software innovations."
Insuring? I never knew the FSF was in the insurance business...sure hope he meant ensuring.
Of how braindead the patent system is. How can they allow someone to patent something they didn't even *invent*? I'm very surprised none of those companies they're suing have tried to get the patent declared invalid, there's prior art going back a few million years...

You, of course, realize that these patents are *not* being filed in the USA. Right?
Sign me up!
Seriously, There's few things worth dying for, but I think a space journey is definitely top of that list.

Nethack...such good memories. I play ADOM now (www.adom.de), another roguelike game...better storyline, and awesome gameplay.
Tears for Fears comes to mind...what happened to bellowing "MOM...WHAT'S FOR DINNER?" across the house?
A lifelong geek, I still find the extremes some people go to insane.

Good luck changing the tide with that.

Worlds of Warcraft, and Half Life 2.

The Chewbacca defense beats the DMCA, though.
I hope they make some Discworld movies...with the right actors, they'd simply be amazing.

My favorite book, however, is The Final Battle.
Ware, and vapor. There must be some way to put these words together to describe DNF...yes, there must be.

Because it's a cool hack, and that's really all it takes for someone to do it.
