You know what, I don't think the average Joe actually will run into the DRM restrictions in iTunes and so won't give a flying whatever. I do know what DRM is, and it doesn't raise it's ugly head day-to-day.
I buy music, I put it onto my iPod and burn it to CD. Now what am I meant to be protesting about again?... That's a rhetorical question.
No flicker here either (in London). The oddest thing about the change as far as I was concerned was the instant on/off of the lights. You don't really think about how long it takes for incandescents to fade, however when I first saw an LED traffic light something struck me as wrong and it took me a while to work out what.

Yes, basically you need "evidence based chiropracty".... at which point it is no-longer "alternative".
There are some bits of conventional medicine which fail the evidence-based test. It would be fun to redub those as 'alternative'.

Not all "alternatives" are created equal. I think it is reasonable to surmise that manipulation of joints and stretch and massage of muscles can help alleviate muscular and joint pain. It is less reasonable to assume that massaging a particular spot on my foot will help kidney function.
The Nepomuk Web site wants to make me chew my own arm off. Now, I'm familar with the Semantic Web, I'm excited by the idea of semantic organisation. But this site is the epitome of grim, lifeless European research-ese. It completely fails to convey the technological approach, how it works, or why you should give a damn. I get the impression that the team was more interested in the EC funding then actually developing a disruptive technology.
Why why can't researchers spend 15 minutes thinking about how to convey the importance and excitement of what they are trying to do in terms of practical examples.
I'm afraid you'll probably have to wait until some enterprising 3rd party to grab the source and build some of the technology into a different product.
Because 95+% of my friends/colleagues have Office and saying "Download this application" to correctly read this file does not make you popular. There are right and wrong ways to be an evangelist. Forcing OO downloads is the wrong way.
For some reason the submission goes to a site that mentions the original articles appeared at the Orlando sentinel, but doesn't link to the articles. So here they are:
In the submitter's case, that's what you get for writing an application that doesn't provide a decent error report when a 3rd party API call fails. Surely that should be pretty standard coding.
'For most of human history, people have lived in small tribes where everything they did was known by everyone they knew,' Dr. Malone said. 'In some sense we're becoming a global village.
The metaphor is only really apt if the villagers are completely free to saunter over to the village elder's hut, in person, without hinderance - rap on his door say "Oi, why have you been peeping through my window you perve" and then poke him in the eye. I suspect that the White House, and equivalents around the world would not take kindly to this behaviour. Therefore the analogy fails.
I'm not sure that Aaronson really gets it regarding original research and putting his name on it.
Surely, it is meant to work this way:
1. Researcher publishes research in reputable peer-grouped journal, and makes this paper available on the Web. 2. Researcher writes nice, easily digestable Wiki page on the topic, citing the peer-reviewed research as a source.
The Wikipedia prohibition on 'original research' is really a polite way of saying: 'don't assert things that could simoly have been pulled out of your butt'. The reliance on peer-reviewed external sources is supposed to get around this problem.

Yes, simple advice and education works, you should not rely on anti-phishing tools. However people make mistakes.
It is, in my opinion extremely foolish to turn off the advisories, or tell other people to do so. You don't rely on the crumple zones in your car to stop you in traffic lights either, do you? But do you argue against cars with crumple zones?

Sorry, which other sites? I'm a fairly avid reader of these things and I haven't spotted any reports over and above the usual update glitch reports.
Thank you! My arm is safe for the moment.
And I'll tell you why.

Speaking as an Apple Keychain user...
1. Not extremely easy if you give your Keychain a highly secure passwords, behind which all your other passwords hide.
2. It is extremely easy to backup the Keychain
3. Either you use fewer online resources then I do, or you have a much better memory, or.... you re-use at least some of those passwords.
That's a definition of "surprise" of which I have previously been unaware.

I suppose if you are sufficiently supple and lean forward enough, you end up bending over backwards.

It would have been interesting to have had Feinman in the position, would it?

Sorry about the failure to close the blockquote.
Possible, but no I've checked that, the option is unticked.

Why is presumably why the original poster didn't say that. (S)He merely suugested that some things are objective.
I think the original poster was asking where they get it from, not how they store it.
