Just think, you can get on the plane, plug the batteries into your laptop while you're working, and by the time you get from London to NY, your iPod is all charged up!
Think of all the one-of-a-kind, endangered species that are being slaughtered at this very minute! Think of the poor Balrogs! Think of the poor Dragons!! Can't we just all get along?
They simply can't afford to build anything new that generates power. And the overages that they have to supply all come from Canada, which costs them enough that it isn't worth it for them.
Even if they wanted to, the DHS and the customs delays would mean the power'ed get there too late to do any good.
A year or so ago, somebody claimed to be using artificial neural networks to do the same thing. As I recall, it turned out that all they were doing was running against the URLs. Having RTFA'd on this one, I see nothing there that would indicate this bunch is doing anything other than a slightly more sophisticated categorization by URL and then scanning the uncertain ones for skin tones. If you can live with a high false positive rate, this might be acceptable -- you might like it at home, but it probably couldn't be used by a library.
In Opera, I can toggle "show images". If I set that to show no images, can I assume that is an effective workaround? Drawbacks are, it won't help with images embedded in files, and it breaks a lot of websites (some label their buttons, others just say 'image').
I wonder if Lynx runs under XP?
The "do xUG's matter" question gets asked periodically, as the platforms and OSs mature. I can remember back in the early 80's when UG's were about getting Commodores to work. By the late 80's, the old timers were complaining that their UG's were no longer about cool roll-your-own solutions, but instead were about how to get MS Word to print special fonts, and so forth. The evolution seems to be from 'getting it to work at all' to 'getting the applications to work'. At the risk of a certain amount of flameage, I'd suggest we look at what Windows groups are doing now (I know, "how do I get this malware off?"), or what Mac OS 9 groups were doing right before the Big Switch.
So the Dead built up a huge amount of goodwill with their policies. Goodwill can be converted into money, just like anything else. Some of those with a financial interest in the remains of the Dead have decided that this is the way to turn that goodwill into money. Greed, or good business sense? You decide.
Didn't John Poindexter propose something similar as a way of predicting terrorist attacks? Didn't the community beat up on him until DARPA was glad to drop the idea? What's different now?
Terraforming means creating an Earthlike/human habitable environment. What we are doing is moving the Earth's environment away from the human habitable zone. One could make the argument that, after some centuries of learning our trade, via space habitats and Martian terraforming, we will some day come back and 'terraform' the Earth.
I didn't see anyone answer this question, so... If you hit F12 in Opera, a popup lets you toggle stuff like enabling javascript, plugins, cookies, or gif animation, plus some other stuff. I keep most everything turned off, and it's easy to turn back on when you hit a page that needs it.
Just to set the record straight. When a military retiree starts to get social security, the DoD cuts their military retirement by an equivalent amount.
Sure, it looks like helpful technology, but think about what happens next. The price of turkey guts goes sky high. Pretty soon, we are importing cheap turkey guts from Brazil and Montenegro, and then we find we are in political thrall to the OTEC countries, and have to support them in their wars against Uruguay and Macedonia. That way lies madness!
Yea, but there's enough relief to see that the black "channels" don't follow it. On the first pic they look like some of them run cross-slope, and on the last pic it looks like they run on the ridgelines, as if we were looking at something bulging up from below.
I would hope that the Australian FOSS community would rapidly mount a two-pronged attack. First, is strong representations to the Australian Capitol Territory Electoral Commission about the impact of licensing changes. In addition to a discussion of the impact of the restrictions, I'd ask if changing the license didn't invalidate their contract. Second, I would hope that someone in Australia would fork the project itself.
Summary: small poll for my new operating system
Hello everybody out there using minixfromscratch - I'm doing a (free) operating system in VB (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386 (486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minixfromscract, as my VB-based OS resembles it somewhat
Any suggestions are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them:-)

Why do we need chips to do this stuff anyway? Wouldn't it be easier to just set a bunch of toggles on the front of the machine that tell it how to start up?

I think their system clock's off. Note that one of the comments from "2004" has a quote from Serenity in the sig.

They don't eat each other, they eat foreigners. That's just predationism.
There were 97 people on board Hindenburg. 35 of them survived. Compare the helium-filled Akron, which broke up in a storm. 78 people were killed.

Now, when the power goes out, I can sit in front of my ecological fireplace....no, wait.

You are correct. The law has changed since last I checked.

That was actually a slightly modified quote of the email that Linus Torvalds sent out when he started the Linux project in 1991. Intended funny.

I thought that since C got it's start with BCPL that the replacement was going to be P.
