Are you saying bad design can only be recognized in hindsight? Or that having a bad design kill once is an excuse not to change it going forward?
i'm saying that it may be oh-so-clear to us now how important this document was, so we may think that it's the fault of the design that it was overlooked; but at the time, regardless of they design, they felt it was overlookable.
at the time there was no design problem. it was simply not an important document. we only think to blame the design now because, using hindsight, we know the document was important.
Too bad they didn't replace the 85 year old baggage scanners earler.:(
i may be wrong, but i'm pretty sure box cutters were perfectly legal on planes at the time. changing the baggage scanners wouldn't have made a difference
It depends how they are treated if they don't live up to their quota though. If there's some boss laying the smack down on n00bs, then I'm not so sure I support it. Getting beaten up for failure isn't akin to free access to a net café like it may first seem.
However if they're treated fine then it sounds okay to me. But I've never been a big hater of sweatshops anyway
He didn't say it was right for crackers to attack the website and extort money from them. He just said that he doesn't feel sorry for the victim. There's a difference.
That sounds like a really smart idea. The only problem I can see is that you're limited in choice of color.
This reverse graffiti is about stenciling. Stenciling is almost always just in one colour. It tends to be a very dif style of graf to big peices. Rather than write a word (usually) in the most visually pleasing style possibly, stencilers create an image on a stencil (often a political one) and spray paint over the stencil.
Since most of the work on the stencil is done at home, it's more of just an aplication of art (like hanging a print on a wall)
In australia, ADSL prices have now dropped to compete with dialup prices.
The big internet companies usually give shitty deals on dialup for around $30, (whereas the good small companies give unlimited dialup for $10-20). Now companies have $25 ADSL deals where you get a 256/64 connection with a download limit of 200mb (nothing), capped to 36k or so when you go over the limit.
So while they're technically on what most people call "broadband", they'd be at speeeds the same as dialup most of the time (although with adsl and such which is nice at least).
When you take into account the extra money that you save on phonecalls and possibly a second line rental, deals like $40 6gig, and $50 16gig (or move up a speed to 512) start to seem like they're realisticly competeing with dialup
wouldn't the sound polution kinda reverse the positive environmental effects? and dont tell me to RTFA.. there were too many links, I didn't know where to click:|
Here's when the slashdot effect gets kind of worrying- destroying a website which is the front end of a business, and in turn killing their business (costing them money).
But on the other hand, you cant pay for advertising like this! (unless taco takes cheques?)
Even though one American programmer's wage may be equivilant to 5 Indian's wages, outsoursing the work will not bring prosperity to 5 indians. They'll take that one american programmer's wage, give one fifth of it to the Indian programmer, and pocket the other four fifths. That's why outsourcing works for companies
And here I am, 15km (10miles or so) out from Brisbane City (in Queensland, Australia), and I can not get cable or adsl:( and i *really* dont want satelite
I think it goes against the point of quoting something if you change the quote to say what you want it to. Also, the original sourse may actually be correct in which they wrote (and we're just having difficulty interpriting it), in which case changing it would be a total stuff up.
When I see white headphones and a ipod remote on someone I dont like, I consider it. White earphones along aren't enough since Sony ex71s come in white.

If i get into a bar fight and punch a civilian in the face, is that an act of terrorism? After all, it's hurting civilians

No really, I'm not American.
Wrong.
US is anti-Iraq : AFAIK, Iraq never invaded nor bombed US.
A lot of the world is anti-US. Doesn't mean they're bombing or invading the US. That isn't the definitive guide to who is or isn't anti-US

Do mods ever read the posts? At the time of reply this is 3, Informative.
My living room layout changes more than my town layout.

How about a new server :(
Weird, all I can hear is 50 ringing phones

Um, how many do you have?
