Does anyone know if this fixes packet injection on Prism wireless adapter cards using the linux-wlan-ng driver and the aircrack-ng patch? It's been broken since 2.6.12 (but worked before that)...
Exactly. The same happened for my school district; I wrote a note that it was a school proxy server on the IP's talk page, and they modified the block to only apply to unregistered users. Make a note and I'm sure they'll do the same for you.
No, blame the doctors. If the doctor prescribes the gel-cap version, the pharmacist has to fill the gel-cap version (either brand or generic). He can perhaps suggest to the patient to go back to the "bone-headed doctor that wasn't awake enough to know the difference" and talk to them about the original version, but the pharmacist can't really make that change.
This isn't fully a question of brand vs. generic. It's a question of the brand making something "new" (in this case, not really new) with a new patent so doctors will prescribe the "new" drug instead of the original one; of course the "new" one has no generics due to the patent, whereas the old one does.
Agreed, and another problem with that is the change has only to be minimal even as little as changing the purpose and/or dosage of a drug.
Exactly. I'm a clerk in a pharmacy and on a particularly non-busy night we were all talking with the pharmacist about this sort of thing. He gave an example of some company which came out with Drug X (can't remember which one). As the patent on Drug X was about to expire, they created "Drug X Gel Capsule... better than before!!!" Of course, doctors, not really knowing, started prescribing the new X Gel Capsule, which had a new patent and thus no generic (and by this point, the original X's patent had expired and had cheaper generics).
Well, the pharmacist pulled out one of the new X Gel Capsules. Guess what it was? Just the original Drug X encased in a gel cap. That's it. A regular pill in a gel cap.
My major problem with the game was actually its story. So much in the beginning seemed to foreshadow something really great; I thought, "this story is really going to go somewhere. It's going to turn around and have some great revelation and some 'lesson to be learned' in the end."
Well, when I was still thinking that in the latter third of the game, when it still seemed to be "setting up for something great," I realized that it really would be just another Zelda story. Pretty good as far as games go, but not great by any means.
I don't want to get into details, that would mean MAJOR spoilers which is probably inappropriate here... but there are a number of issues. So many places are so close to something that it's infuriating.
So close. (TP was still an awesome game and well worth playing, but this really, really bothers me. Probably just because the rest of the game was so great, and the story was so nearly so.)

I love Linux, and even dual-boot my PowerBook with Ubuntu. However, this is why the whole "Linux will never go mainstream" argument holds water. He says "windows opening slowly", you say "check DNS". Why should DNS affect opening windows and why should it have to be manually fixed? Most people probably don't even know what DNS is, let alone that it could affect their file browser.
Just to reiterate -- Ubuntu is much, much better about these sort of things than most Linux flavors that I've used. However, it, and most Linux distros, still have a long way to go before Linux "goes mainstream".
The grandparent post, i.e. the parent of the parent. Your post is the parent of this one, and my original post is the grandparent of this one. (If that's confusing, just press the 'parent' button on a post and then again on the next one and you'll see.)
I would pretty much agree -- NoCDs and kracks are often useful even for legitamately purchased games. Having the CD constantly in the drive is really annoying, especially when on a laptop or wanting to switch back and forth between several games.
Man, between this story and the one about Gates last night, I'm tired of all these chair jokes. I'm going to fucking kill the next person that makes one!
Yeah, the AP exams are pretty expensive (it's actually a little less than $100 for each exam, at least this past year)... probably most of that goes to the extreme measures the College Board goes to to protect the integreity of it. For example, each section of each exam is individually shrink-wrapped, with stickers included to reseal questions after time has been called.
Conflicted, heh, yeah. The AP Calc test is even worse; calculators are allowed for half. But instead of that half being either the multiple choice or the free response, it's half of both of those. So the test is in four parts -- no-calculator-multiple-choice, calculator-multiple-choice, no-calculator-free-response, calculator-free-response. It was a major pain; I wish they'd just make up their minds! (Or only allow a 4-function, but let us use it on the entire test!)
We need a curriculum that supports inquiry and thought. We need to give students the responsibility of choice and experimentation. We need to get them generating real results and using those in real world situations. Reasoning and problem solving skills do not come without authentic practice.
That is why my AP Physics class is so awesome. We have a great teacher who actually understands that. Calculators are allowed on nearly every test, and he realizes that we will put all the formulae for the chapter into our calculators' memories (and he will even show you how to do it if you ask). But that's really very little help if you don't have the problem solving skills to apply what you know, and often make a small leap of intuition -- that's what the class is mainly about: not memorizing a bunch of physics formlae, but learning how to apply what you know and put it together in new and sometimes strange ways to solve a problem.
Bloomberg compared his proposed federal identification database to the Social Security card, insisting that such a system would not violate citizens' privacy and was not a civil liberties issue.
Yes, I'm sure. Just like when social security was first introduced, we were assured that it wouldn't be abused and used for identification at all -- only social security. That has certainly held over time.
It may not have been her choice, or she may have not even known about it until it was too late. I imagine that the people in charge of such things don't really care what the artists think, as long as they get their piles money.
But then people could actually have a copy on hand, easy to refer to. They didn't have to rely on the church's access and interpretations of the material; they could much more easily make their own interpretations.
I was always partial to the fundamental theorem of calc... pretty profound (tangents and integrals are opposites) but, unlike for example Maxwell's equations, it is VERY easy to understand and prove.

Do you or the GP have any evidence to back up which way it is? "They do." then "No they don't." isn't conclusive either way. :)

Unfortuantely Picasa is Windows only. According to the summary, this one should be fully cross-platform.
