That's one of the things I'm working on at my new job - teaching the Flash person (who has only done desktop publishing in the past) to tone it down and not be "in your face".
I do use Firefox's "click-to-play" flash plugin, and I've noticed that there are very few instances where I ever click it, simply because 80% of all flash is ads. Is there a way I can whitelist a domain? For example, HomestarRunner, or my work website, which, as I discussed above, is being redesigned with "better" flash?
I see the argument for an auto-forward (like irc.freenode.net forwards to us.freenode.net and so on), but how is the accuracy of these NTP servers verified?
You're both right... the definitions vary from project to project. Check out this description of versioning systems. Not done yet, but it made sense when I read it.
Odds of getting in a car crash - especially a minor one, where a seatbelt makes a big difference - are higher than the odds of being shot.
There's no good reason to not wear a seatbelt; there are several good reasons to not wear condoms.
And it's difficult to electrocute yourself by building a computer; either you'd have to have it plugged in, in which case you're abysmally stupid (dumber than you'd have to be to not wear a seatbelt), or you're taking apart your monitor wearing an ESD strap, in which case you have to be smart enough to know what you're doing, but dumb enough to not be careful. That same set of arguments applies to electronics, too, BTW.
And your argument about not allowing people to fiddle with electronics outside certified labs is a bogus analogy that falls through in several places.
Not all accidents are high-speed. And it's a cost to society if you die, too. Children left behind, the cost of an investigation is often more expensive, etc.
I'm confused. Are you testing patience (will they wait for 15-30 minutes once they're done with their paperwork) or initiative (they only stay for 15-30 minutes, then they *do* something)?
I enjoyed the math segment of the SAT... nice and easy. The english section was painfully tedious, though. Ironically, I did better (as I always do) on the english (perfect score) than the math (good score, not perfect).
I've used festival, and it's great, but... you'd trust your pronunciation to a speech synthesizer? Especially a synthesizer designed not for Spanish, but English?
The same way it does in the US. Our telephone companies are also privatized. I bet you guys have some kind of telecom tax, just like you have income taxes, import/export/customs taxes, excise taxes (taxes on stuff like alcohol and tobacco), and probably a million other government mandated fees, just like us.
Even if you didn't have an explicit telephone tax, your income taxes pay for government programs like the one shown here (occurring in your country, obviously).
How 'bout this - those laws protect my right to not have to pay for your stupidity when you go to the E.R. with worse injuries b/c you refused to wear a seatbelt, and you don't have insurance for whatever reason.
And don't say "maybe medical care shouldn't be government subsidized" - if you're too screwed up to give 'em your insurance info in the E.R., you damn well want them to be required to care for you, even if they can't verify that you have insurance.
That's because you're misspelling gojira (no, this is not a reference to Godzilla2000. the original Godzilla movie, the Japanese one, called him "Gojira".
Didn't mozilla change their default theme to modern fairly recently?
Either way, try firefox - it looks almost nothing like netscape. I know what you mean though... back at 1.2 or 1.3, when I first tried Moz, the first thing I did after vomiting was look for a theme pack. I hated Netscape's icons.
Dillo is incredibly fast. Tried it once - my reaction when the first few pages loaded was, "holy shit - how did it do that?". But the layout (tables, at least, possibly CSS; haven't done enough testing yet) is totally broken. Looks really crappy. Still, if/when they get layout right, if they can preserve the speed... holy shit.
If the spot codes can hold a few bytes of info - wave your cell over a tattoo or a shirt someone's wearing to get their name/cellphone number... um, never mind, that'd be a bad thing.
He's like Max Power... the man who's name you'd love to touch! But you mustn't touch! His name sounds good in your ear, but when you say it, you mustn't fear! 'Cause his name can be said by anyone!
This isn't proof. Of course a Portland newspaper wants it to be in Portland. When I was in England as a kid (long story; just know that I met a lot of reporters) the Swedish reporter asked if I'd met with the Finnish reporter yet. I hadn't, so they told me to be sure to tell the Finnish reporter that Santa Claus lived in Sweden. And the Finnish reporter told me the opposite.
In all seriousness, though, like others have said, look at the various licenses out there (GPL, CPL, LGPL, BSD, CC, MIT) and decide what best fits your needs. You could even consider a multi-license scheme like Mozilla has.
As far as involvement, Sourceforge is a place to put it if you want development to continue. Someone has to admin the project (the CVS repo won't patch itself, and you don't want everyone to have write access), though, so if you don't want to be personally involved, find someone to give ownership of the project to (give the official-ness label to them, not necessarilly have them own the original IP) or put it on Freshmeat.

So you'll learn vocab - what about grammar? Idioms? Culture?

So is this a true swarm relationship (as described, albeit badly, in Prey by Michael Crichton), or is it pair-only?
And can they get a divorce if one of the robots is cheating?

Ignore him! Oh, and did he post this himself? "Usability guru"?
By convention, one lane is slow, one is fast, and there's usually a passing lane or 1/2-lane in between. Where're you from?

That was a fun show. Not "great", but fun. It's off the air now, though - or at least I haven't seen it. Anyone know where I can get DVDs?

Wait - I can get credit for doing this kinda crap? WTF am I doing going to classes, then?
Using the same math that says 106+5+1=106 (hint: the original scanner was $100, not $106).
This could make for some hilarious ways to buy porn...
The more you touch, the more you're paid. Reminds me of the mob guy who claimed the FBI put a bug (wiretapping, not insect) up his ass.
I mean, asking about license choices on Slashdot?
