We did this in the early ninties. We used a 3CCD pro camcorder and videotaped streets of Toronto, mostly Yorkdale, Kensington, Bloor village and the Danforth. We just walked along, stopped in front of every address and took some stable footage. Then we went home and frame grabbed the best scene for every address.
I swear it takes more time to talk about it than to actually do it.
These days my feeling is anything but the cheapest cel phone wouold work and can't say I really understand the question.
Mans living in close proximity with foul and swine - usually under conditions of extreme poverty and in China, is what cause flues to cross the species barrer and become zoodemic. Airplane travel causes them to go pandemic.
You don't need labs to create new and deadly flu viruses when the poor have been crowdsourcing this for eons.
You do realize you can customize FB to get as much or as little as you want in terms of those notifications don't you? Look up skillfoo.
The problem I have with FB is not that (any more) it's the fact their, as of the last rev) paged are so JS computationally complex now that rendering my FB home page cause my (fairly contemorary IBM/XP) laptop to just freeze for about 7 seconds while it's doing its JS and ajax goodness.
Previously, only slashdots new look did this, and not for as long.
I can get past the idea that almost nobody in the world understands how the iterface works and that it changes too quickly for any book to be of use, but this slowness. Wow, I dunno.
Trademarks are registered, not copyrights. Since the US adoption of the Berne convention in 1990 copyrights are implicit. They don't need to be registered.
Punitive damages vary state by state, and the tendancy is for more, not less states these days to award punative damages, something many lawyers are not always aware of. Never hurts to ask.
I've been opposed to ICANN since day one: it's a single point of failure and is anything but "open" and "transparent". Recall the only elected baord member had to sue to see the books.
So, I think the cybersecurity constituency is wonderful and the kind of whackjob nutcase coallition the sucking vacuum of a choke point that is ICANN can expect. Godspeed, fuckkers. You deserve this.
While I could't think less of his daughter (hi Estie!) I couldn't think more of Freeman. And if you look at the times he's been wrong before (oh, there aren't any) and think about what he says in terms of the context of actual life dynamics you'll see he's not wrong this time.
This doesn't mean we should be free to pollute but as pointed out in Jurassic Park "life finds a way".
"Software development is 40% technical and 60% people."
For some definition of "software development".
Funny thing about poeple skills, you put them in a chip and the CPU won't execute them. I'll cede some sw jobs require people skills.
Funny thing about comments and documenation too: when presented with what it costs to PROPERLY document stuff (2x what it cost to develop it) nobody ever wants to pay for it.
This is besides the obvious "Comments lie. Code never lies." thing.
I've been on the net since 86 and on the web since 93. Gopher was retarded then and still is. My friends and I liked the web because we were used to runoff/roff/troff and html made more sense.
I have no idea where this guy is comeing from. We all just snickered at gopher. I seem to rememeber writing a web thingy for the.ca whois which was in gopher. It was just too damn embarassing to be using gopher.
Similar bug is in FB. Grant an app perms; delete some friends, the app still has write perms on you when your delteted friends do something. As a programmer I'm making a wild guess it's grabbing your friends list when you sign up, not when you run it.
I suppose it's more of a "practices" thing than a "bug in facebook". But envision some scenario with, uh, you can figure it out.

Yuo bought the POS C= monitor right? You were supposed to listen to Joanne Dow and buy the Sony KV1311CR monitor. Mine is still working and has a great picture with better colors than the sukky C= monitor ever had. Ans they didn't arc, snap and blow up like those POSs did.
I should just repost old comp.sys.amiga threads and save eevrybody some time, and subtitle it "why am I doing this, I know better?". But anyway.
I had an Atari 400, and made some hardhacks and sw for it. I had an A1000 with a HARD DRIVE. Yes, I rawked, utterly. I worked on a thing that was the precursor to flash, it came from the Amiga.
One thing would have propelled the Amiga into stardom: Lotus 1-2-3. Lotus set the world on fire in PC land and you had to had one if you pretended you were in business. Word Perfect was the other one. These two were the first PC killer apps. VisiCalc was cute, Lotus sold computers.
1-2-3 didn't run on the Amiga. Word Perfect did, but way too late and it sucked to the point where it wasn't as good as the MS-DOS version on PCs, remember this is all pre-windows.
The Atari hung on cause it did Midi well. DTP and art queers kept the Mac alive. The Amiga was the coolest, but back then cool didnt't matter/drive sales. Lotus did.
And before you freak out, some of my best friends are art queers.

You heard it first here kids, this is the week that will go down in history as the inflection point from which newspapers never recovered. This is the third thing in a few days along these lines, but the last nail in the coffin. *poof*
I have a $9.99 solar powered battery charger from Crappy Tire that charges 4 NiMH AA's in about 3 days. It has a little watt meter thingamajig on it that shows watts or rather, the amount of energy being pushed back into the batteries. It takes about 3 days to charge them.
By using a couple of bits of broken mirrors on either side of this gizmo, increasing the amount of light hitting the solar cell, the needle on the watt-o-meter is pegged and the batteries charge in one day instead of three.
So no, the idea of concentrating light to improve the efficacy of solar cells isn't new, just this way of packaging them is. And it's clever.
"While the Atom needs 132.8 seconds to display simple HTML pages"
Over two minuyes to display "simple" HTML pages?
So... this thing will take, what, 4 hours to render Slashdots front page? I have a contemporary (sorta) IBM thinkpad that Opera locks up while rendering for 15 seconds every time. And the page never renders right.
The new look may be cool, but it doesn't actually work well. Doesn't anybody try this stuff?
Of course he's right. There should not be a one size fits all Linux because at least one person will find it doesn't fit them.
So, the community should not, in my opinion, focus on a single release.
Ok?
Now, having said that, you half (or whatever) of the Linux world that want to do this, go ahead, I encourage you. If it's a good idea, your "half" will become 3/4 (or whatever) and presumably up from there. If its a lousy idea, not much damage has been done.

What if only the "double muscle" gene proved effective against the virus. Overnight the planet would become a race of mutant superman freaks.
I say anything that slows down the spread of those fucking annoying twitter people is a good thing and he should be awarded a medal.

Seriously? How long will it be before somebody writes something that lets you use any of your own music in these games?
And as long as I'm making requests, could it be changed so that people can actually play guitar after becoming an expert in the game?

" Neat idea, but how do they get rid of the heat of 1000 suns? Does the IR escape because it isn't reflected the same way?"

I can not answer your question. But as a Canadian I have some suggestions as to where you might send some extra heat.
