You won't be getting a visit from the police for an intelligent study of the issue. You'll get a visit from the police for something like this.
Stephen Harper, leader of the Conservative Party, is anti same-sex marriage. The police haven't come and taken him away yet for him saying that he believes gays shouldn't have the right to marry.
We have anti-hate speech laws in Canada. They seem to work pretty well; you can not legally produce propaganda targetting group based on sex, race, sexual orientation, ancestry, age and a few other factors. The government can't just jail under the hate speech laws for saying something unpopular; it has to be specifically discriminatory based on the above conditions.
I don't hear screams and shouts all the time here about people being unfairly silenced; the most recent incident I remember is Ernst Zundel being jailed for anti-semitist speech (he is a holocaust denier).
Of course, that doesn't stop right-wing religious nuts from screaming bloody murder.. the people in the link are upset that they can no longer say that homosexuality is evil. Is there a problem here?
Well, I was never much able to make heads or tails of the backspace/del thing and the terminfo and termcap databases.
As for mouseclicks, this shouldn't be a problem; the xterm terminal type has support for this -- set your terminal to "xterm" type and load up an app with support (say, the "links" web browser) and see what happens. On the console, gpm does mouse support -- damned if I know how it works. The whole system for terminal emulation is seriously fucked up under *nix.
In short, I ended up going for the Palm for a few reasons. First off was price - Sony does not price their gear competitively. Their market appears to be the executives with fat expense accounts who see shiny new toys and go for them. I have a number of geek friends and none of them are big purchasers at Sony, with the sole exception being Sony's monitors.
That seems like an odd thing to say -- I was looking for a cheap colour palm and I found that Sony's Clie model had far more features and memory than the next nearest Palm model and was CAD$50 cheaper. Maybe Sony gear is more expensive in.au?
Well, I hate to break it to you, but that's not always true.
As I pointed our earlier, we "colourize" films, not "colorize" or "colourise". Additionally, in my experience, that thing that moves you quickly and easily 20 storeys up a building is an "elevator", but that thing for disabled people in a 2 or 3 storey building is a "lift".
Err.. where I am, the local school board (KPR) uses Corel Wordperfect 8 on all its machines. (These are multi-user machines running Windows 98, but I digress..)
Micrsoft Office is 'taught' in the Business classes. Everywhere else in the board, it is Wordperfect, though.
Can anyone reccomend a good book on digital photography?
Most of the books I have found assume you are already a film photographer and only cover the difference between film and digital; the books about film photography are not always entirely relevant to digital photography. The books about digital photography seem to assume you can't even take an autofocused picture with flash without help -- that's about as far as they seem to cover.
I'm looking for something that explains what all the complicated settings on my digital camera (regarding white balance, metering, aperature, and so on) mean and do.
This sounds something like PeerCast.. is that true?
I've tried PeerCast before -- neat idea, but it simply isn't practical -- not many people have enough bandwidth to relay a 128kbps stream realiably, and every time I tried it I got nothing but stuttering and skipping.
That is "disc" -- originating from something Latin or Greek or something meaning round.
"Disk" is from "Diskette", which is from.. I have no idea, honestly.
Slashdot Mirror
The domain, is of course, case insensitive, since DNS is.
In practice, most will be lowercase or the mailer daemon will make an attempt to be case insensitive, but on a *NIX system there is always a chance.
I've heard this too.. this site (burn, AOL, burn!) has more info..

The digital standard is 720x480, but that is just about as useful as a number pulled out of midair.
The actual horizontal resolution of NTSC television is variable since it is analog.
The total number of vertical lines scanned is 525, but APPROXIMATELY 480 will be seen.
I think Pinnacle cards capture at 648x486.
There has been no "slippery slope" effect so far.

I think they are referring to the dark blue on black colour that gets used by ls for directories (? maybe it is symlinks?). Impossible to read.
You aren't the only one with this problem. Appearantly, it was fixed in 0.54 (well, somewhat). Try downloading the latest version.

It absolutely won't be -- the HDTV specification only allows for up to 1080i.
Is PHP able to be run standalone?
I thought it was parsed by a webserver module when accessed?
RS232 is ridiculously easy to program for and it 'just works'.

We "-ize" things, but also "our" things, if that makes any sense.
That way you end up "colourization", not "colorization" or "colourisation".

This may be a bit pedantic, but it's not really piracy (copyright infringement) if it is legal, is it?
Apparently, vending machine purchases are cheaper here too (Though I still think CAD$1.00 is too much for a can of pop.)

The point is that the $200 XBox will look and play as good or better than the $2000 PC.
I'm sorry, but by every definition I can easily find a pedometer is something measures how many steps you have taken. I don't see anything about calculating calories.
Well, Bill Gates did develop a system to manage traffic flow...
