Dune remains the all-time great, in my opinion. It pulls together many different themes... It's a coming of age story, it's about becoming a leader, it's about making do with circumstances, and it's about the struggle for resources (spice, water).
I don't think an eight year old would enjoy Dune. And... the books are somewhat inappropriate when it gets to the spice orgies and such.
Or the first thing you do when you plan to install linux - replace the hard disk with a fresh one. Then put the original one on a shelf until you either run out of warranty or return the computer.
This approach undermines the entire principle of Linux. The thing to do is exactly what this girl did... fight it.
Why would Google need to screen every bit of content? A trust system with the uploader, user feedback(they already get), random sampling, and some automatic processes should cover this for a lot less than 37 billion.
btw... worst job in the world would be one where you had to watch non-stop youTube. I would hate to be the guy who got stuck looking at bot fly removals all day.
Some moderator keeps moderating down as "Troll" everything I post
Slashdot could fix this. I'm guilty of being pissed off with modpoints (years ago) and it is too easy for a moderator to target an individual. Simply gauging moderator behaviors and applying some limits(max 1 mod per individual) would take care of this problem.
The devestation at Hiroshima and Nagasaki wasn't really much different than the firebombings of Tokyo by the U.S. or Dresden by the British, excepting for radiation sickness and long term cancers, but fire bombing led to burns that were pretty much as bad. The nukes just required fewer air planes to do the damage, but they were still massively expensive to make.
They are totally different.
The rivers don't boil with firebombing.
The moisture isn't sucked out of people that they are so thirsty that they jump into the boiling rivers.
Firebombs don't irradiate people.
Firebombs don't kill people weeks, months, years, decades later.
Visit Hiroshima and be humbled. They have a memorial that is a huge mound of human ashes.
Wife's parents are in Japan. MacBooks on both ends. We ended up just using an end-table and placed the laptop on the top. When they can't move... it is easy to just point the screen at the baby. Those early years are more for the grandparents anyways. As they start to move, we kept the same setup and just used it as a lesson for the kid. "We don't push the buttons, we talk to grandma". It has been a challenge, but he quickly learned that that laptop doesn't yield anything useful.
Bonus: The laptop is agile so you can move it around the room, house as the kid moves. This interactive experience for the other side definitely makes it awesome.
If your backups to the server need gig-e, you're doing it wrong. Using rsync, I was able to backup 5GB of e-mail over an ADSL connection (12mbit) in 14 minutes, because it compresses everything.
Are you serious or just being funny? Text compresses well. Video does not. 5GB is nothing. I have more than 10 TB of video from favorite shows/movies, almost another TB in photos, and about 300 GB of ripped music.
And that data is completely new everyday? You can't steal, rip or buy movies faster than a Wi-Fi connection could back it up. The grandparent has it correct... Wi-Fi fits be bill for most home needs.
Portable is key when you want to resell your house. Unless you can find a like-minded nerd, anything screwed in to the walls is going to turn off buyers.
I think it depends on how it is installed. I used a rack in my old house for Audio/Video Equipment for the theater room. The door of the rack was framed so it acted like a cabinet. Perhaps this is why it took so long to sell my house:-P
On November 13, 2006, Sun released much of Java as free and open source software, (FOSS), under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). On May 8, 2007, Sun finished the process, making all of Java's core code available under free software/open-source distribution terms, aside from a small portion of code to which Sun did not hold the copyright.
Whats the bug number where they were notified. Why did they refuse to fix it?
AutoIt:
AutoIt has been designed to work on Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003, Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Server 2008/2008 R2, Microsoft Windows 7.
So you are complaining about an open-source development toolkit that supports every major OS and several Mobile OSs against a Windows-Only, proprietary application. I really don't think you are going to find many sympathizers here.
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
Qt is open-source. You or Autoit can fix whatever problem is hurting it and submit the patch. Your crusade against Qt because of Autoit is misplaced, trolling and off-topic on slashdot.
Are you a broken record? Submit a bug or Submit a patch. Complaining to Slashdot about some proprietary automation software is a complete waste time for everyone.
Why is it that we have come to a point where the first thing we think of for a cool new technology application like this is "could be used to subvert airport security"??
Deep down we are all enemies of the state. Even France realizes it.
I have to say I got a chuckle when I got to the part about "inheriting" their IT problems. Obama "inherited" all his problems after all!
On day 1, every problem is indeed inherited. This is a fact. A big difference for me is that Obama is actually fixing issues.... especially in the executive branch

I've seen an eight year old read it and love it. It is very accessible because it is just random fun.
1280 x 768 isn't common.

Looks pretty popular to me. The lesson... Microsoft typically does its homework when copying.
If you lie, cheat, and steal, you'll get into the top echelons of power.

Next step, full disclosure of high school and college papers. I bet we would fine that most politicians were/are plagerizers.
The idea that there is any kind of true full blooded "Hungarian" is daft.
The point wasn't to be full blooded Hungarian. The point was to not be a Gypsy or Jew.

"What's your IP address?"
"127.0.0.1"
That joke is so old it could vote.

If they ever try anything like Pearl Harbor again they should be summarily eliminated from existence.
Say the warcrimes in China and Korea that the Japanese committed, but Pearl Harbor...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oracle Java isn't open source.
Straight from wikipedia:

Lets just go ahead and send a cowboy into space.
Then we can get our "Get your hands off me you damn dirty ape"!
the most open phone to date
N9? While maybe not as gifted with 3rd party software repositories out of the box, it is certainly just as open as the n900 was.
Question is "have they changed this?"

Actually bitcoin is not illegal in the US ...
That is a matter of opinion as the GP stated. Last I check the dollar is the only legal tender for the US.
As far as devices go, Apple has been the greenest and most friendly to manufacture. Not that I would have guessed the 12 years ago.
Bullshit
Apple is doing better, but only after people started saying "wtf".
I have to say I got a chuckle when I got to the part about "inheriting" their IT problems. Obama "inherited" all his problems after all!

Bush's Whitehouse.gov
Obama's Whitehouse.gov
The Obama version is very nice IMHO.
