Most of the French crypto restrictions were removed in 1999. E.g. see http://www.sobco.com/nww/1999.edited/04-crypto.htm l and some of the other articles found by googling for "france encryption restrictions relaxed" or similar

Have you been following the opinion polls? Even the most of the Tory MPs have resigned themselves to losing next time. About 2/3 of Tory voters expect them to lose.
Note that this is not intended as a defense of Labour (personally I'll probably vote Lib Dem), just to point out that Labour will almost certainly win by default because the Tories are still seen as being unelectable by most people...
I've been able to take off my software firewall and let Windows handle it.
Bad move, I'd say. As the article points out, the windows firewall is inbound only. You should still have a software firewall in case you get a rogue application trying to get outbound access. Even if you never install any more applications, you might not be happy with (for example) Windows Media Player or some other MS application 'phoning home' unexpectedly.
They also have one feature that *I* for one occasionally use -- I.E. can render Slashdot correctly even when FireFox 1.0 does not. (I thought that problem was supposed to be fixed in 1.0?) This, for me, is the only serious problem with Firefox. I hate having to reload Slashdot pages over and over again until they render correctly.
A number of posters have pointed out in other threads about firefox that the slashdot rendering problem *has* been fixed (in the 'trunk' code was their description) but that the fix didn't make it into release 1.0
There is no general anti-discrimination law in the US, the UK or (AFAIK) any other country. They can discriminate on *any* grounds they like, including 'looks' as long as that doesn't amount to a specific prohibited form of discrimination such as race or disability.
Here's an interesting link about tidal energy http://www.foe.co.uk/resource/briefings/severn_bar rage_lagoons.pdf in the UK. Basically it comes out as one single barrage can generate 5% of the UK's energy, or that the alternative scheme of multiple tidal lagoons in the same area could generate 7% of the UK's energy.
Now what is the difference between putting that 1000 pins in one person or spreading it equally over a group of 1000 people?
In the second case: No-one is dead, no-one is even significantly damaged, no relatives are distraught, no orphans are made etc. Each of the 1000 will recover in a few seconds. The relatives of the murdered person will suffer for years or for their lifetimes; the murdered person loses their entire remaining life. The total suffering of the 1000 pricked with 1 pin does *not* add up to the suffering due to the one person being murdered with 1000 pins.
The browser stats from this source show non-MS browsers with about 20% market share. Given that all other sources I've seen give non-MS browsers about 5-10% share, I think this site's sample is not representative and therefore its OS market share figures may be well off as well. I'm sure I've seen quite recent figures putting Win9x near to 15%...
A uniform tropical climate for the whole planet, like it once was, would be very different, but not neccessarily bad.
It's not the final climate that matters so much, it's the rate of change. A natural climate change over thousands of years would be relatively easy to adapt to. A human-accelerated climate change of the same magnitude over 50-100 years could be a massive disaster. Our economies are all set up to work within certain climatic limits and tend to break down outside those limits. The cost of adapting in a generation or two rather than 100 generations could be ruinous.
I totally agree that the world should decrease the pollution, but saying that it's not going to cost money (and thus jobs) is false.
It's not as simple as 'true' or 'false'. It depends. For example, some factories can meet CO2 emissions targets by increasing energy efficiency. This costs money in the short term but can very quickly repay the original investment and then lead to increased profits and more jobs due to lower energy bills. Some factories can even exceed their emissions targets and make a profit trading their emission quota under the Kyoto trading system, which is just getting going now. Some factories will be too expensive to upgrade and will close - but then this may be an indicator that they are old and inefficient and would have closed soon anyhow. There will be winners and losers but it's not clear that there will be overall job losses. The UK has some reductions to make as a whole but there's no big outcry about job loss potential from either the unions or the employers' organizations, and certainly no suggestions of 1 million jobs lost or anything (roughly equivalent to the '5 million job losses' figure claimed by the US government). Anyhow, most of the rest of the world is going to try this system (limits and quota trading) out while the US watches. I think the US is going to lose out in the end since the efficiency gains will outweigh the costs, but that's just my 'educated' guess.
I actually live next door to a 'massage parlour' which advertises in the local paper. We get the odd stray caller from time to time. Nothing unpleasant or threatening so far but next time my wife might try the following:
Alternatively: I always use 0115-8765 432 for my phone number. This is a valid format (for a Nottingham, UK phone number), is easy to remember, and doesn't actually exist (I check periodically).
I'm sure you can construct something similar for your locality.
After Phillips, owner of the 'Compact Disc Digital Audio' trademark (?I think it's a trademark) kicked up a stink about its use on 'broken' CDs, record companies were no longer able to use the logo/phrase on such CDs.
So, if it doesn't say 'Compact Disc Digital Audio' on the packaging, it's 'copy protected'.
Did you write this just to sound off, or to get results? If it was the latter, I'm afraid you'll probably get nowhere. One of the golden rules is supposed to be never to go for personal abuse, and I would say your 'toadying minions' remark in the first sentence is probably going to get the letter binned with the rest of it unread (especially if it *is* a toadying minion reading it).
Oh well, I hope I'm wrong in this case and good luck anyhow.
We've had several home invasion robberies where people's marijuana and cash were stolen, who called the police, and had no charges pressed against them.
You mean they were not charged with 'not possessing marijuana'? Disgraceful!
Then, at age 30, the layoffs begin. By age 40, you're unemployable. No amount of skill, education or experience has any effect whatsoever on employability.
Thank God for half-decent redundancy money in the UK. I'm 41 and to get rid of me will cost my company aproximately £70K. It doesn't necessarily stop them but it makes them think twice to see how the figures stack up, and gives me money and time to relocate and/or retrain if they do chuck me out. Also, although you might think it would affect UK employers' willingness to hire and lead to high unemployment or low growth, it doesn't appear to since our jobless rate and growth rate here is about the same as the US.
I totally agree. Internet Explorer should be (and is on my work PC where I am forced to use it) renamed as 'Insecure Exploit', because this is a factual description and acts as a constant reminder to me of its vunerability. Whereas 'Internet Exploder' is just meaningless and silly...
Slashdot Mirror
I guess the article is wrong then? - if so that'll remind me *not* to read it in future.

I always do it this way; I would add 'draw large, scan and then shrink'. This way you can get some really impressive detailing.

Can't we please just genetically engineer some fat eating bacteria or *something* less gross?

Until Firefox can prompt the end user for updates, Joe Six Pack will always be out of date.
And extensions that don't break after each release. After each release so far, I get used to an extension just to have it break on an update.
To summarize the AC replies below most people's threshold, the final 1.0 release should fulfill both of these requirements.
They're still churning through (oldest accounts first). My 2 'old' accounts have been done, a recent 'throwaway' hasn't yet.
