This has been fixed for at least the last 8 months.
I noticed emails were arriving in my inbox from friends who had forgotten the period last May and did some playing around at that time, including trying to sign up for an account without the period and I couldn't. So that part has been fixed for some time.
Apperently the question is whether accounts that were set up at the very beginning, where distinct acount exist with and without the dot have been dealt with.
My first language was C, learned in a first year university introductory programming course, but when friends have asked me about learning programming I have recommended they start with python and the book How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/. Its available free online. This is a good introductory book with no expectation of prior experience that teaches the ideas behind programming, not just the syntax of the language.
That was my thought as well, but I just tried making a new empty word document and saving it as "BuildingMyPC.doc". Searching with Spotlight for PC found it no problem, as did searches for Build, My, and pc. But not ding, so it seems that Spotlight is camel case aware.
The stereo pair is not collected at the same moment. One image will be collect with a camera looking forward a few degrees and then once the satellite has pasted over the target, a second image will be taken looking back with the second camera.
This technique is along-track stereo and has been used before. Cross-track stereo has also been used where an image will taken looking off to one side and then the second image will be taken on a subsequent orbit looking off to the other side.
Along-track stereo has a big advantage in that the two images are taken within seconds of each other and will therefore have similar atmospheric and lighting conditions which improves analysis.
ESA's decision to deploy MARSIS follows eight months of intensive computer simulations and technical investigations on both sides of the Atlantic. These were to assess possible harmful boom configurations during deployment and to determine any effects on the spacecraft and its scientific instruments. The three radar booms of MARSIS were initially to have been deployed in April 2004, towards the end of the Mars Express instrument commissioning phase. They consist of a pair of 20-metre hollow cylinders, each 2.5 centimetres in diameter, and a 7-metre boom. No satisfactory ground test of deployment in flight conditions was possible, so that verification of the booms' performance had to rely on computer simulation. Just prior to their scheduled release, improved computer simulations carried out by the manufacturer, Astro Aerospace (California), revealed the possibility of a whiplash effect before they locked in their final outstretched positions, so that they might hit the spacecraft.
The plan was to deploy the booms a year ago, but the manufacturer discovered that deploying the booms may damage the satellite, so the deployment was postponed. After nearly a year of looking at the problem, they have now decided that the possibility of damaging the satellite is small enough that they will proceed with the deployement.
It is worth considering that Zed does not include any commercial breaks. CBC does not generate any advertising revenue during the Zed's 35 minute airing every night so they are not directly profitting off the submitted works.
Zed has championed the open source concept since its inceptions. The show descibes itself as open source television with much of the content on the show comes as contributions from the community uploaded through the web site.
I haven't noticed them doing it lately, but during there second season they would routinely list the members of the Java development team in the shows closing credits. Zed also regularly posts job posting for Java developers on the VanJUG mailing list, they are always entertaining.
I am one too. Well I'm a employee of a Canadian call center outsourcing customer service for a large american telecom. If you want to order local phone service or have questions about your local phone bill and live in NJ, IL, GA, MN, NC, SC, MA, MD, KS, AR, or OK, there is a decent chance your talking to someone north of the boarder. All day I get comment from customers thrilled to have reached an "American" and not some foreigner.
The iBooks have had their memory limit raised to 1.25GB. Better still the soldered in chip is now 256MB instead of 128MB, this gives all the default configurations a free slot to upgrade with. This resolves what was for me, my biggest gripe about my G4 ibook.

Problem is NASA landed them on opposite sides of the planet.
