...pretty straightforward, really. I've done some work on an art print site which uses most of the techniques suggested here. The simple fact is that you can only discourage people, not stop them, which is the first thing I made sure my friends knew when I took on the coding.
...it's also insightful. Would it really hurt to use the Coral Cache in cases where sites specifically block Slashdot as a referrer? Especially given that Timothy posted a front-page story announcing it?
The RIAA isn't hurting any of their potential customers by this.
I've been concentrating my purchasing on smaller bands for several years now. In many cases you can get to know the people, and be assured they're getting a fair slice of profit from their label.
In your example, do you think others will happily come to your store for their candy, knowing that you habitually carry a loaded weapon and are a triggerhappy bastard? I'll be buying mine from old-fashioned confectioners who keep on good terms with their customers, get to know them and offer samples of new types of candy every so often -- because they're nicer people.
Software liability is a bad, bad, bad, bad idea for the entire industry, but absolutely deadly for Linux and FOSS in general.
Less so if it only applies to software which is sold--a commercial Linux vendor would be liable, but Joe Developer who writes that email client and doesn't charge for it would be okay.
I'd disagree. On mid-era hardware (~500Mhz) I've found 2000 more responsive than 98, assuming a reasonable amount of RAM is initially the case. Architecture does count for a bit.
The other movie, it's on VHS, if anybody wants it.... I'm not going to spend the, we're talking millions of dollars here, the money and the time to refurbish that, because to me, it doesn't really exist anymore
...fans of film in general don't care if the footage is refurbished. They just want a copy of the film as it was initially released in a format resistant to physical degradation.
I prefer Tabbrowser Preferences, but many extensions can be made to work simply by making the additional change of "app.extensions.version" to "0.9" in about:config... give it a go! =)
Setting "app.extensions.version" to something like 0.9 works for the rest [where Firefox functionality hasn't changed which would normally break the extension, of course.] =)
we should but the same sort of standards on our literature that we put on our movies.
The works of Shakespeare and the Bible contain more gore and rape than almost any amount of teen fiction.
There's also a significant difference between reading "Sam sliced off the monster's head cleanly" and watching a video dramatisation with columns of blood erupting.
...though the visible result may be indistinguisable.
When a product has no inherent scarcity value, you'd better hope economies are good and people generous.
It'd certainly be easier to teach kids about respecting artists with fewer documented instances of artists being shat upon by lawyers.
you can't fault Apple for using a law on the books - passed by Congress (unanimously by the Senate), and signed into law by President Clinton - to protect its own business interests. If you don't like the DMCA, or aspects of copyright law in general, work to change the law(s), but don't fault companies or individuals for conducting themselves within the bounds of those laws while they are in force.
One simple question: why?
There's a UK law which permits the killing of Welsh people in Chester, provided you use a bow. Many US states have similar legal skeletons lurking in the closet. So... why exactly should people who use dumb legislation get a free pass? Are their actions any more moral or justifiable?
...this could be a damn good thing. The non-technical people in marketing and sales probably remember Netscape, so if anything a slight shift towards standards-compliant code which works in more browsers is likely.
That's as long as Netscape don't introduce additional bugs into their branded version, of course.
The thing to remember is that it isn't their own information. Governments are transitory... and then there's that whole "elected by and responsible to the people" thing. In theory at least.
All works which have changed the face of graphic literature. Warren Ellis in particular is one to watch, along with established names such as Neil Gaiman for his Sandman-related projects, Garth Ennis for (as you say) Preacher, Hellblazer and Hitman.
(I suggest early Authority trade paperbacks, as since WildStorm got bought out by DC the quality has slipped. Hitman is also best in its earlier issues, IMO.)
Comics are one of the simplest means of storytelling there is (words and pictures) meaning there's a lot of dross out there, but a lot of stories which simply couldn't be told as effectively through pure prose. You can achieve special effects, manipulate the passage of time and provide backstory in ways film studios can only envy.
much anecdotal evidence about couples in their 20s
Yes, but these are blokes who treat Loaded as a bible, toot their car horns at billboards and generally are stuck in a mindset of artificial = sexy.
The rest of us, who discovered porn in our teens (and quite a bit younger than 16) got bored with people faking it, and realised that good sex is about intimacy rather than image.
...and I'm neither an audiophile nor particularly bothered about formats as long as I can burn to CD. That suggests (to me, at least) that the format is gaining some ground. =)
You seem to stepped sideways... I was merely saying I wouldn't have assembled the pieces in anywhere near as sharp a manner as Claire. Whilst the solution sounds simple once thought about, it's a non-obvious use of the tech which makes great use of language processing advances as well as dictionary lookup.
"The first task is to identify the font, and font size the missing word was written in. Once that is done, the dictionary search begins for words that fit the space, plus or minus three pixels"
This is why I don't work for an intelligence agency. On the other hand, I'm still probably better qualified than people who think blacking out a few words in a document strips them of contextual information...
...on the part of people who complete the download form, this is also an opportunity for authors to gain feedback from parts of the readership demographic they wouldn't normally be in contact with.
With some engineering and science -related courses suffering from low levels of interest, a wider availability of resources could (as the article suggests) draw out those who aren't applying for financial reasons, whilst giving others a taste of subjects and their potential uses in picking a career path and making a difference. After all, most people have felt they've had a good idea or two at some time or other... many have been discouraged only by the lack of readily available background knowledge.
Yay for more open learning!

"Designing for 90% of browsers is our policy? Here's a question. If I answered 10% of the sales calls with "hello [companyname], could you please fuck off", how would that affect our sales?"
I realise you're just trolling, but it's a point that deserves to be beaten into the heads of as many web designers as possible: if that one in ten is a guy who doesn't see too well, who surfs from work in a browser his IT tech has locked down settings in, or whatever, if he is the one in ten who thinks "hey, these people are nice enough to cater to me" and buys the product... your unfriendly website just got its ass handed to it by the competition.
Good designs work for everybody, and they give you a business advantage.

It's pretty darn good. I think the guy who develops it meant "terrific"...
It's less than 9.5Mb for the stereo stream -- for a half-hour programme, it's already reasonably compressed.
Less so if it only applies to software which is sold--a commercial Linux vendor would be liable, but Joe Developer who writes that email client and doesn't charge for it would be okay.

By the time a word does get into a dictionary, people will already be using it to mean many other different things.

I assume she either never breastfed (in itself lacking wisdom) or is simply a fucking hypocrite.
Come to think of it, families are evidence of sex. Perhaps we should ban those on TV, too.
That's as long as Netscape don't introduce additional bugs into their branded version, of course.
It'd still be interesting to have a comparative listening session... and I don't even listen to U2. I think I have one of their songs on a soundtrack.
I doubt the publicity will do the band any harm.
