Well, it confused me for a few minutes, and I am sitting in a (required visual studio based *grumble*) programing lab at Washington State University. Just calling it Washington State University would have made it a lot clearer. Maby if the context was football I would have understood, but outside of a context typically associated with college it becomes confusing.
You can make a local copy. Just install MediaWiki, then Download the Wikipedia database and import it into your SQL server. Rsync is already available to download updates to the database, and it would be fairly trivial to write an application to attempt to submit all local updates to Wikipedia. Of course, articles that have drastically changed while you were offline might pose a problem. The only problem, the database takes over 10gb of hard disk space for the English Wikipedia articles, with no images.
SMTP is not runed. The PBL is a lazy solution. With a few reality checks (ex. vaild HELO, plausible FROM address) using MIME-Defang, and a properly configured spamassassin, I can filter out any spam that would be rejected by the PBL. With a little work, you can too. Over the last month I had 3 messages (out of thousands) that managed to get past my filter, and no legitimate mail was lost. Of the three messages, one came through an ISP relay, one through a major unix mailing list, and one came through a IP not listed on any block list. The PBL would not made a positive cotribution in any of thoes cases.
Realy, there is nothing wrong with using the PBL. Just don't use it alone to reject connections, insted use it as part of a scoring system that includes other factors. That's what all the major (gmail, yahoo, hotmail) providers do.
The Spamhaus PBL is bad for maintaining a decentralized Internet. It forces users to send mail through ISP relays, which is an unnecessary and insecure process. It does little to prevent spam as any good spammer will just relay through the ISP's server anyway. This page goes into grater detail explaining why DULs (the old name for PBLs) are bad.
No, It's the other way around. Here are the old steps for Adult CPR:
1. Check Scene Safety
2. Obtain Concent/Check for Consciousness
3. Send someone to call 911, apply protection 4. Check for Breathing if not breathing continue else goto 16
5. Open airway and give Rescue Breath if success goto 8
6. Readjust airway and give Rescue Breath if success goto 8
7. Five Stomach Pumps, Sweep Throat with Index Finger, goto 5 8. Check for Pulse, if no pulse continue, else goto 12
9. Fifteen chest compressions
10. Open airway and give two breaths, goto 6 on failure
11. Repeat step 9 and 10 for about one minute, then goto 8
12. Give a slow breath
13. Count to five
14. Repeat steps 12 and 13 for about one minute
15. Check for breathing, if not breathing goto 8
16. Continue to monitor for changes, treat other issues, if not breathing goto 5
Changes:
Step 9 is now Thirty chest compressions
Steps 4-8 optional for untrained persons
Disclamer: IANAD (I am not a doctor or CPR trainer) this is not medical advice.
What does the diagram actually work out? This is a Null modem adapter. It allows you to connect to terminals, such as computers, together without a modem. It is the serial equivalent of a ethernet crossover cable.
Yes, but Slashdot users do. Well those not using decimal time anyway. Your watch is set to UTC too? Thats good, because until now I thought I was the only one... (I love the look on people's faces when they try to read the time on my watch.)
How do you even accurately cite it? Using the Cite this article link?
But, even Wikipedia says not to cite it as a source:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Most educators and professionals do not consider it appropriate to use tertiary sources such as encyclopedias as a sole source for any information -- citing an encyclopedia as an important reference in footnotes or bibiliographies may result in censure or a failing grade. Wikipedia articles should be used for background information, as a reference for correct terminology and search terms, and as a starting point for further research.
Demonstrate your knowledge of the following:
a. What is a copyright?
Copyright is a set of exclusive rights regulating the use of a particular expression of an idea or information.
b. Why do copyrights matter?
To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries;
c. Identify five types of copyrighted works (two may be your own). For
each, give the author/creator and the date the work was copyrighted.
1. GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE - Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
2. libdvdcss - Copyright (C) 1999-2003 VideoLAN
3. dvdbackup - Copyright (C) 2002 Olaf Beck
4. Linux - Copyright (c) 1991 Linus Torvalds
5. FreeBSD - Copyright (C) 1992-2006 The FreeBSD Project.
d. Name three ways copyrighted materials may be stolen.
1. Go to the location where the copyrighted materials are stored, create a diversion, and run off with the copyrighted materials when no one is looking.
2. Go to the owner of the copyrighted materials, make statments that might suggest his or her life is in danger if you do not have the copyrighted materals, then run off once the person gives them to you.
3. Run in to the location where the copyrighted materials are used, screeming, and waving a bag over your head. Then, grab the copyrighted material and speed off in your car.
Visit a video sharing network or peer to peer website and identify which materials
are copyrighted and which aren't.
I visited Jamendo. All the material is copyrighted.
Remember that Science can only explain observable events.
Most religons would agree that Microevolution is Science, it can be observed. But Macroevolution (what most people think of as Evolution) can't been observed. Until Macroevolution can be observed it is just another religion.
It's not a debate of science or religion, but just a debate of religon.
My High School was going to compete, we were even registered for several months. We had to withdraw in late June due to lack of funding (it's hard to build a AUV with only $900, especially when there is a $500 registration fee). We are going to start looking for money earlier this year. Hopefully we will see you there next year! (And yes, our software is entirely open source.)
That's not true... Last year I^R some people know used this very method to bypass a particular high school's filter. True, now that it's on slashdot it's no longer viable (I'm sure my 'friends' at school are monitoring slashdot like crazy after This.)
First they just used CGIProxy, but then that got blocked, so they went to CGIProxy over https. Then that became to slow, so they went with creative firewall rules on my^R^R some people I know's server to divert https to ssh after access of a webpage. Then a timeout was put on https at the proxy, so they went with an http tunnel to ssh. VNC was added for quick access to apps like GIMP, which runs super slow off of a USB disk. Somthing new and beter is in the works but I can't say what it is (or that it even exsists).
Filtering is a cat and mouse game. Both sides are always fighting to be ahead on the latest method of bypassing the filter.
I have a setup very simular to the one you describe.
When a "telemarketer" (almost always an automated system) leaves their number on my voice-mail, I run a little shell script that makes sure there are plenty of copies of a particular text file in in a folder that just happens to be named/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing.
At the moment, I just put them on hold when they answer, but I have been working on a much better system that uses Sphinx (Speech recognition) and Festival (Text to speech) to have some more "fun". The average answered call lenght is about 30 seconds just calling them and putting them on hold...
The reason you have no "Company B" is probably government regulation. Sure, I don't what anyone to dig up my street at any time, but how realistic is that? It's expensive to dig up streets, even without government regulation, so I doubt it would happen regularly.
"Company A" probably has a government enforced monopoly on the right of ways. "Company A" is happy because they own the market, and you are happy because no one is digging up your street. If you really want a open market with competition, you have to allow anyone to dig up your street at any time, or have the customer install their own line to a location with easy access to multiple providers. Then there is option 3 which is have a government run ISP... I believe the less government the better, so that is not really an option (for me).
It would be very hard to add new hardware features if every videocard has the same driver. It could work, but only if video card tech stoped changing so much... And I don't think gamers would be too happy with that!
One bit is used for determining the sign of the number. This leaves you with N-1 bits to store the value. So, for a Signed 8-bit int, you have 7 bits for the value and one to determine the sign. 2^7 = 128 The number 0 is the first positive value so the variable has the range of 127 to -128.

Hotmail ran on FreeBSD until after 2001, but microsoft bought hotmail in 1998. So, microsoft was running hotmail on FreeBSD for over 4 years.
The number of people who actually watch tv is falling. Thanks to the internet, we don't need tv, so why would we need HDTV?
Of course it's blocked. You don't want a pervert like that teaching your children grammar. Think of the children!

Yep, your absolutely right, Moderation is the key!
I spend all my "homework time" moderating on Slashdot and still get passing grades!
They made the Logo page better?!?
I guess they did, The old logo page is... Special.
My favorite is the Email link graphic on the front page.
