And even if it weren't a project of the United Nations, the ICC as it stands is a horribly bad idea, and ultimately unconstitutional: in the US, the Supreme Court is the highest court in the land (this would change it) and the ICC doesn't even begin to have provisions to deal with, say, the Bill of Rights, and the like. It's not too hard to Google for this sort of information. Wikipedia may be a decent starting point.
Running as root is like riding in your car without a seat belt. But driving without a seatbelt is safe! After all, if you get in a crash, you car's going to be more or less wrecked anyway, so why should we even bother?
Yes, it's a bit less convenient, and it may be a hassle to put on, and maybe your passanger needs to reach something so they unbuckle themselves for a minute... but it can be the difference between Bad Stuff and Really, Really Bad Stuff.
Dangit! Just like my calculus tests, too- I realize five minutes too late I've made some stupid error at the end. The limit of the evil quotient is one.
For limits of the form infinity over infinity or zero over zero, you can apply L'Hopital's rule: the quotient of the infinities will be the quotient of their derivatives. (Simple calculus, really.)
In this case, the derivitaves of this case are Microsoft, and Alacritech. Microsoft is all about money money money. Now, we know money is the root of all evil, so Microsoft = money * money * money = money ^ 3 = sqrt(evil)^3 = (evil)^(3/2). Software patents are also evil, though, and it seems Alacritech is after money, so the lawsuit = money * evil = sqrt(evil)*evil = (evil)^(3/2). So, Microsoft / Alacritech = 1.
So I don't reccomend you cheer for either side: the limit of the evil quotient in this case, as the perversity of the universe tends towards infinity (Finagle's Law), is zero.
He's talking about it being clobbered to death by the ten-second gamma ray burst everyone is talking about, not slow-acting insidious chloroflurocarbons et cetera.
I won't insist that you RTFA, but if you don't, at least read the fine summary.
People don't send spam from their ISP's account. They send it straight through their computer. Now, you could put outbound filtering on port 25, and require everyone to send mail through the ISP's servers (with authenticated SMTP of some sort), though there will be some legitimate traffic surpressed if that happens...
That'll trim spamming more than any 'message count'.
The insanity of the law apparently would require them to record all the data that you sent to Google and recieved back. The Google hack will only prevent the server from determining who is accessing the page; it does nothing for the transmission back to your computer.
Obviously there are problems in some cases (what are you going to advertise in a world like World of Warcraft?) but thats a problem for another discussion.
How about those "unique fantasy swords!!!" ads that they like to slip on the SciFi channel for all those "fantasy sword collectors" and/or oh-so-pathetic fanboys?
That's nothing. I moved #wikipedia to ##britannica (the Freenode IRC network lets you set a channel with a special +f mode that 'forwards' the client to another channel- kind of breaks some clients like irssi, but apart from that is usually painless). The actual Britannica buys Wikimedia Foundation (and subsequent Slashdot coverage was ultimately a follow-up first perpetrated by those affected by the move.
Forget being noncritical of Microsoft; let's ignore the competition, too! They don't even have anything on Linux save a mention in Open Source Software.
<jwales> In the interest of full disclosure I should add that Google gave me a pen that lights up. <jwales> When I saw that, I was like "oooh, pen!" and then I was soooo mesmerized that I signed over the rights to everything. ha ha.
Our anti-spam technology is implemented with wetware (you know, the stuff between the keyboard and the chair). Spammers try to get us all the time; they don't usually succeed for very long at all.
Wow. Looks like Google intends to compete with the Internet Archive's Ourmedia project, which also is willing to host your video. Well, one is more about hosting and the other is more about searching, I suppose, but still... maybe there could be some sort of cooperation going on here, Idunno.
The difference being that the advertisements in newspapers and magazines are off to one side, and don't generally interfere substantially with the content. They're much easier to ignore.
No, this is not a suggestion to use the edges of the television screen for advertisements, either. This is video, not print. =b
At my university they do offer courses in the computer science department very similar to those you described, usually under the heading of CSC 191: Special Topics (examples this semester: "Unix Systems Administration" and a course on Perl). They're typically half a semester long, worth 1.5 credit-hours (normal classes are worth 3, sometimes 4) and are explicitly excluded from being counted towards the computer science major. They're purely elective.
changing around the file browser to allow users access to royalty-free images from five providers for use in their work
I don't suppose there's any chance for an interface with, say, Ourmedia or the Wikimedia Commons as an image provider, is there? There's lots of royalty-free, Creative Commons/GFDL-or-better stuff to be had there, of various grades of quality.
Because it's probably not going to work well. It's not even going to come close to working well, and it will not come close to working well any time in the immediate future. Those of us who have not had to deal with COBOL have at least heard stories about it- how the executives would think that "it's just like English, it MUST be easier to program!!!" and programmers would end up suffering with a language that combines the worst parts of programming (strict, rigid syntax) and English (verbosity) to get an abomination. Likewise, somewhere, some executive is going to read about this and propose to torture his underlings with it. And the results won't be pretty.
Slashdot Mirror
and I thought my Esterbrook No. 62 was tiny!
No. This is not a hologram-like technology. Look instead for either 3-D glasses, or some other (more sophisticated, less red-and-blue) optical tricks.

The Wikipedia article on copyright states that a typeface is not copyrightable, though it may be patentable if it is novel enough.
Hopefully, (READ MY COMIC) you can (READ MY COMIC) do it (READ MY COMIC) more tastefully (READ MY COMIC) than this. (READ MY COMIC) .sigs are (READ MY COMIC) a decent (READ MY COMIC) place, (READ MY COMIC) as are (READ MY COMIC) Slashdot (READ MY COMIC) 'website' (READ MY COMIC) links... (READ MY COMIC) build page rank (READ MY COMIC) and all (READ MY COMIC) that.
Hey! I have a 4.0 in that class... on the Pauling Scale! =b

Ooh. Argentina has also outlawed VeriSign and company. So much for e-commerce!

You'll have to do the old "travelling faster-than-light" gig. Sorry for the inconvenience.
