On MacOS you still throw drives in the bin to eject them. Doesn't make MacOS a "complete disaster".
I'm sure that still works, but also a little eject icon appears next to the volume name in Finder, and "eject" is also in the context menu... At least for removable media.
Practically these guys wanted to test the law in court, hoping it would fail. Exactly... I'd love to see that law burned and the people who voted for it removed from office and tried for treason, but I don't see how this is going to work. In the worst case our heroes get a punishment and get to be martyrs -- for making a Haskell port of the ancient decss?
In the best case, they get a court to say that decss is not an effective copy prevention measure, so it doesn't count. That seems to be their aim now. But that only seems like a temporary cure until the next "encryption" comes along.
I meant DVB-H (H for handheld, T for terrestrial), but I see TFA mentions MediaFLO, which it turns out is a proprietary Qualcomm broadcast technology not just the name of the front end software as I'd assumed.
It was in fact the GNU that did most of the running on the plains. They were also the ones that came up with the GNU Giant Penguin Licence that let them all run anywhere in the first place. The penguins would mostly just race down the snowy mountainsides of the Andes. Especially Tux.
I'm working on a space escalator. Sure, it's not as fast getting up there, but you don't have to wait for the car to come back down from orbit when you press the up button. To get down quickly, there's also a space firehouse pole.
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
You use the one you and your team already know how to use.
I wish. In three years I'm not sure I've ever done two projects with an exact same combination of frameworks. (Struts, Spring+Struts, just Spring, Spring MVC, Spring+JSF......) I'm not sure this is a really smart strategy, but it's definitely better than just being stuck with Struts.
It used an oblique video camera behind a plate of glass, and your fingers or the wet brush changed the index of refraction in a way that would show up brightly on the camera, and thus paint on the screen.
Wooow, sounds like there's a cool DIY project in there for someone. Take one of those overlay-LCD's for overhead projectors, put a webcam behind it, put the whole thing inside an empty monitor case, then come up with a way to filter the touches somehow... Don't know how exactly, but maybe something like using only blue and green for the screen, and using red to detect touching...
Ah, I'd completely forgotten the PIN thing. And the electronic signing thing. I've even used those sometimes.:-)
But it doesn't sound that handy to sign on a device that someone else is holding, while having a 5-year-old in one hand and a 2-year-old over one shoulder, and still tucking the credit card and wallet away simultaneously. Nor does it sound that much different from what happens at the check-out counter usually.
So if they eliminate the check-out lines and equip clerks with those devices... Then the lines simply gather around the clerks, instead of a convenient place near the exit. Raincheck on the retail revolution...
It's actually kind of nice because they do not take your credit card back to the register. They swipe it at your table and hand it back to you.
The fact that the CC reader is wireless seems revolutionary enough, but what about the signature? Does the handheld thingy also have a printer that prints out a paper for you to sign, or has the whole signature thing become obsolete now? TFA says it's completely paperless, so I guess there's no name-signing involved. Can they also skip the signature at the counter, where they have the old WIRED credit card scanner? Wouldn't that be pretty revolutionary too?
I was going to point out that on that 70's show, I think Red says "put my foot up your ass" or something using "up", and not "in". I don't watch the show often, but I think that's right. Anyway, in America, there's a subtle distinction between them - "up" implies an upward motion of the foot towards the ass, while "in" sounds disturbed - as if he were to stiffen up his toes and aim for squiggling them into the anus.
Either way, the literal meaning includes insertion, right? As a matter of fact, I always figured that was exactly the concept of thought that Red was going for -- except maybe that he doesn't mean to insert his foot toes-first and squiggling, but violently sideways, or whatever way his boot happens to hit.
But fortunately the first thing his expression brings to mind is the figurative meaning, that he's going to beat you up, and that's the way it's usually translated too. It would be too hard to come up with a translation that involves a foot, ass, and an expression that's like insertion, but signifying more of a threat of violence rather than something pervertedly sexual.
I bet the reproductive organs and ass are hard for translators, because there's always millions of words to pick from, and they all have different ratios of scientificness and offensiveness and cuteness and obscurityness and contemporaryness and everything.
We tend to learn American English primary from American popular culture - movies, song lyrics, comics, video games etc. That's why we think that the f-word is so common in everyday usage of American English
I consider myself lucky to be in an European country that prefers subtitles instead of dubbing, and the translators here usually tone down the language a lot. Sometimes they even do it too much, as in someone yells "Fuck!" and the subtitle shows the equivalent of "Gee gosh darn!" or something... But most of the time I think it's a good thing that they don't try to write out the swearing too much. They used to use a lot more swearing in the subtitles of old "adults only" -videos (I mean violence and horror), and that didn't always work out too well either. "Fuck" is obiviously a very global and timeless expression:-), but picking one of the traditional Finnish curses to replace something like the American favourite "God damn" often turn out a bit foot-in-mouth.
Red in "That 70's Show" always says he's going to put his foot in someone's ass, so far I think they've managed to avoid the mistake of translating that too literally. There are web-pages here devoted to those kinds of mistakes made by the translators.
Once by accident they aired an episode of "Sopranos" here, where all instances of "fucking" on the soundtrack were replaced with "friggin'". That was fucking hilarious. I don't know who gets that "censored" version normally. There are some pretty wicked violent things in that show from time to time, but someone, somewhere thought it would be a good idea to hire a bunch of actors that maybe sound a little bit like the original cast, and s/fucking/friggin'/. So, that's another instance where killing and burying gyus is OK, as long as you're not swearing while doing it...
Maybe he never said it out loud, but he designed... Well, someone working for him designed an operating system where all the upper memory management was left up to third-party tools, and you had to keep separate bootdisks for QEMM and HIMEM and no EMM.
2. even if he did say it, it was probably true at the time, if i say today '2gb ought to be enough for anyone' , you're not gonna think i'm crazy, you're probably gonna agree with me, this quote doesn't say 640k will ALWAYS be enough
Hey, isn't that exactly what Bill was saying with the 32-bit Windowses? 2gb total address space *including* virtual memory?
I'm more than happy to ship internationally if they have a paypal confirmed address
I'm in Finland, and I can't find my confirmed/unconfirmed status anywhere in Paypal right now, but at least until recently they would always claim my address was "unconfirmed", even though it's my credit card address and the text "(credit card)" has always been visible in the address settings page. I think they had a mention about it in the FAQ too, can't find that either so maybe it's been fixed now.
But now as I upgraded to a business account, they automatically insist that my personal name should no longer appear anywhere, and that the "business name" connected to my credit card address would make sense somehow. So I have to choose "order to a different address" if I want to order stuff into my own address using my own name. Luckily no seller has had a problem with that. I had to e-mail someone afterwards and ask them to put my name on top of the address instead, and they were nice enough to do that.:-)
On the topic of eBay scams, I had a unpleasantly suspicious situation once, but I was lucky enough to get my money back with the Paypal complaint process. But on the whole I've found people selling old synths, for example, to be honest and friendly all over the world, no matter how small their feedback is.
People selling used LP's are clearly a more busy, bad-spelling and perhaps a little less trustworthy bunch... Especially the ones with a huge feedback!
I don't think I want to do business with the *** BRAND NEW LAPTOP *** -people.
I pay my taxes etc etc. and everything else that goes towards financing TV around here I either get the choice for highbrow mumbo jumbo about allegedly serious issues, reruns of american sitcoms or whatever is the latest incarnation of the "survivor" franchise. So I really don't get why the content owners don't cash in on geeks like me - I'm sure we aren't a broad audience, but I'm pretty sure a lot of us would pay good cash to get what we want:-)
Huh? Don't you have commercial channels? Cable and satellite? Aren't you near enough to watch German TV? On second thought, forget German TV, they dub everything... But I can't believe things are that bad in Denmark. Finnish TV here (just like everywhere else?) is also full of sitcom reruns and reality shows, but I think the commercial channels here are doing a somewhat decent job showing some sci-fi as well... Like that Farscape you mentioned. I didn't realize that one was supposed to be good though. Most of the "sci-fi" stuff (Alias, Dark Angel & the rest of the wannabe-Buffys) seems to be targeted at teenagers.:-(

S'ok.Are these dual meanings are some kind of tradition with baby food makers? http://www.semper.fi/

Wouldn't it be easier to detect cell phones? Probably more people carry them around too...
That is the one I remember!
I think you need good-looking 3D screens for that to work really well...
You mean these and these?
... A lunch box? :-)
Hmm this sounds like a fun game. I'd like to see USB memory built into
Ah, I'd completely forgotten the PIN thing. And the electronic signing thing. I've even used those sometimes. :-)

I don't actually know anything :-), but as far as I can remember, there's been an option for "Large memory support (>4GB)" in the kernel config.
