Shouldn't that be "Daylight savings time is about to end"?
Depends which side of the Equator you live on. Those poor folks south of the Equator will be just starting daylight saving (if it's used in their country).
The French, Germans and Belgians may want the European Union to be The United States of Europe but there's a whole bunch of folks who don't.
When I travel to a new country I get an annoying SMS message that I delete. It doesn't tell me that the cell phone service providers are running a cartel and will be ripping me off for every phone call or data connection I make to their network.
What I can't understand is that it costs the phone company nickels and dimes to switch 100s of 1000s of calls every second. Yet they charge me about ten orders of magnitude above their costs.
We've had petabyte databases on mainframes for a good couple of years. DB2 v9 on zSeries has two new tablespace types that make managing these humungous databases much easier.
So it may be news for the PC world but it's bordering on ancient history on IBM mainframes.
The biggest risk is if Labour get this crap in place. The "fucking TORIES" (as you put it) won't have the guts to tear it out.
That's what always happens when the UK Gov't changes. They continue with all the shitty projects that the last lot have started. They're hoping one project will be a success and they can claim the kudos for it.
I don't care if the Gov't snoops on my internet traffic, I hope they don't get too bored reading my drivel.
What disturbs me about this is that it's my taxes that pay for this crap. I'd prefer them to spend it on something that's worthwhile, something that may be to my benefit - like roads, sewers, hospitals and ambulances. Instead Gorden Scunner Broon and his unelectable cretins (aka MPs) do this in the name of "National Security". This won't make an iota of a difference to national security.
They're also proposing to give us all biometric ID cards to improve national security. Sorry I meant force us to pay nearly a hundred quid each for a Gov't issued piece of useless plastic. That won't make an iota of a difference either.
They'll have a national database with stuff about each one of us. That won't make an iota of a difference for national security. It'll just be another expensive white elephant and another opportunity for them to lose a couple of CD-ROMs in the post.
I won't vote for Broon. I'll be voting for anyone other than Broon and his cronies. I won't have an ID card. I don't want email snooping.
The bill can't become law before the House of Lords votes on it. It's then sent back to the Commons to change the stuff that the Lords don't like.
Only after the bill has passed both houses does it then go to Her Majesty The Queen for Royal Ascent.
If the Lords keep rejecting it then the Commons can invoke the
Parliament Act to force it through.
I always found it interesting that 1 billion seconds happened 2 days before 9/11. Is that 10^12 (a billion) or 10^9 (an American billion or what I'd call one thousand million)?
> Ruby on Rails cannot be run in Apache.
How do you arrive at that conclusion?
I have RoR running in Apache. It needs some funky.htaccess stuff and I have a virt host defined for it.
# SetEnv RAILS_ENV development
ServerName rails
DocumentRoot/home/Dark$ide/ruby/myapp/public/
ErrorLog/home/Dark$ide/ruby/myapp/log/apache.log

The.htaccess file in the public directory needs a quick tweak to match the Alias to get the rewrite rules working.
Works well.
If you're thinking of the NatWest Three (Google for the story). Then you're wrong. They screwed Enron while working for National Westminster Bank (a UK company) and are now sitting in jail in Texas waiting for the American justice system to lock them up for decades or send them home.
Extradition should be a fair and just system, whether it is a question to be debated here.

... fifteen years ago that http would become the bane of the MPAA and RIAA since it's secondary use is to ship illegally "obtained" music and video files.
... fifteen years ago that all my e-mail would simply be yet another URL which is attempting to screw me with sales of dodgy p0rn, dogdy medication, dodgy lottery tickets and dodgy stock scams.

So is this super ride any better than the traditional wooden coaster?
I loved the Comet at Lake George, rickety, clanky thing that runs at 60mph. It has superb jerk and jounce, it's thrilling ride that doesn't need any sparkly new technology.

Come on, how hard is it to set a damned clock? Just do it.
My clocks set themselves and switch from daylight saving to wintertime automatically.
You have to blame the British for inventing daylight saving time. It was probably a good idea 80 years ago. It's not a good idea now.
I'd vote for England to move to Central European Time and stick on it.

Zeller's Congruence has been around for many years. I have a perl program that implements it. Calculating Easter (Western) isn't rocket science.
And they've got NSI-deal-in-goat-sex.com
Err, I've already done that by using NAT with a 10.0.0.0/16 subnet. That gets me plenty of IPv4 for all the IP capable devices in my house.
