My great aunt has given her body to science so people will learn as to why she became that old. I would like to do the same thing, but be sure that not some Monsanto makes a shitload of money from it by patenting the shit out of my dead body.
I would realy like it to be some sort of GPL where findings are actually intended for the general public.
Does anybody have any experience with such a thing?
what does it matter if one image shows the aspect ratio incorrectly
It matters because it could be seen as falsifying evidence. That could be important, because the case could be thrown out because it contained that false information, rather then one party having more rights then the other. Judges also do not really like to be lied to and even less like to have people wasting their time.
It would be nice if they would not stop there, but ask Apple to pay a fine for giving false information and wasting people time and have the lawyers AND management of Apple be put in jail.
Foreign aid could be defense saving. e.g. if you help another country develop, they won't revolt or try to attack you.
And I said "could be" not "should be", "would be", "is" or "must be". One should look at the reasons and the implications it will have on the whole situation. Are you sending tanks, food or programs to help kids learn?
Are you funding your own farmers so theirs can't compete and then they starve? So if you want to end the sending of food, is not funding your own farmers a good way to go?
Sending military to other countries is also some sort of foreign aid. Helping the Mexicans in your war against drugs is one too.
yet most importantly is that foreign aid might be defense cutting in the long run.
And why do people want it? Are there that many people who do not have a desk, so they must be working while standing, or is it more a status symbol of looking cool?
I know I would not want anything without a keyboard. Hell, I don't even want a portable, because then my boss can tell me to work in my free time.
And then there also is the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, which could be both a pad and a portable.
It's a bit hard to convincingly fake taking a phone call when your phone is not ringing.
My phone has a fake phone function. It rings and I can hang up again when I want.
People tend to do these white lies all the time. When she asks if she looks fat in whatever she wears, your ass is toast if you tell the truth. OK, wrong example, you are dead anyway.
When people ask 'how are you'? They do not want to hear the truth. People expect to hear "Fine, how are you?"
We all knew what would happen to the ring in LotR. However there it was all about the story, not so much about the plot (good vs. evil).
With fight club, the twist in the plot was part of the experience. I know of one person who was extremely disappointed that he knew the plot, because somebody told him.
So it all depends if a twist is intended to be part of the experience or not. Unfortunately with the majority of movies, it is predetermined how they will end. Especially if Will Smith stars in it. He rather rapes a good story then be original. I am Legend was just a standard predictable piece of crab. Reading the original, then the last few pages are a twist which I would not have liked to have known when reading it.
That plot twist was an eye opener and made me think. It made me re-read it almost immediately to read it with a different mindset.
If I would have known the plot, an experience would have been take away and I would not have known that. How do you value something you never had and did not know you were missing?
You are doing it wrong. If you have 1001 shares, you must sell 1 for 1.000USD and your company is suddenly worth 1.000.000USD Now you sell the whole company for 800.000.This means you won 800.000 and the person who bought it made 200.000.
This is because the people responsible for the version numbering can't keep up. I understand. They need to sleep sometime and before you know it 17 newer versions were released.
It is not only about boot time, it is about time to get ready to do some work. At home I can use sleep mide and it is all back very fast. At work I need to login several programs with difference passwords and logins. The profile needs to be downloaded from another country.
Sure there might be solutions to all of those, yet none of the several companies I have worked for have any of those.
At several I just lock the PC and turn off the screen, no matter what IT tells me. In one company it took 20 minutes before I was ready.
There is a solution. Just make anything over 5 minutes billable to the IT department. That will solve the problems extremely fast. Now their excuse is that it just is what it is.
That is a problem for the majority of companies. They see something free or extremely cheap and they figure they must own it, so they can make a shitload of money. Bottled water anybody?
If it is working for a long time, it MUST be changed as it can't be any good anymore. KDE or GNOME anybody?
The rule of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Does not apply to the majority of people who deliver us things. They are not in the process of keeping things going. They are all about "innovation".
That does not mean I want to live in a cage. It means I want innovation if it is innovative, not if it is just new for the sake of being new. Yes, that is much harder to achieve.
The market watcher defines 'success rate' as the percentage of search queries that result in a visit to a website.
Perhaps there are more hits to websites. However often I just want to know one thing, yet I still need to go to several sites to get the information I want. With Google I need to visit less websites then if I would use Bing.
I often use both Google AND Yahoo and I am glad they give different results as one will have some that the other doesn't. At least not on the first page.
I also often use http://search.yippy.com/ as I like the clouds it places things in. Makes it sometimes faster.
It is a pity that there are not more search engines. Basically all are based on a few. Bing and Google as a basis.
I have used it and it works. Based on past history and experience I can say with confidence and with scientific proof: The check is in the mail and will be there tomorrow.
For musicians there is bandcamp.com. Great selection of music and the pricing is clearly explained. 15% or 10% if you make more then 5.000USD a year.
Bands can even give away for free, if they so like. Also easy to embed the music on whatever site. So if you have fans with websites, they can spread the music as well.
Check it out if you make music or if you like music. Although the site is directed towards the music people, finding new music to listen to or download is possible as well.
Personally I'll wait until the end of this term to see how much of Bush's damage he can undo.
Not only that. What should happen is looking if it is going in the right direction and then give him another 4 years. What will happen is that the democrats will be blamed for all the debts that were created by the republicans. The republicans will take over and ride a nice 4 years on the work of Obama, get reelected, do more harm and then it will be time for another democrat.
Multi-monitor support is even more broken than in Gnome 2. Which makes the first point even more of an issue, when you can't even open a menu on your second monitor, but have to drag the mouse over to the first one.
For me the main thing with multi monitor is that I want them to be seperate workspaces. KDE and GNOME use Xinerama and I have yet been unable to deactivate that. If I am watching something on screen one, I want to be able to go to screen 2 and switch workspaces without loosing the ability to look at screen one.

42. The real hack would be to know what base was used to calculate that.
You can have my PIN
if you pry it from my dead COLD fingers.
2 years for the kernel is already a start. That way not each distro needs to do the security patching on their own, but rather share the effort.

If you watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNLiOojDgLE you basically have seen the whole movie.

If we only have 50 years data, how can you be sure there WAS an ice age? And if there was, then we must have more than 50 years of data.

But this one goes to 6.

We are ALL under an ongoing investigation. Not specifically about any crime or even crime at all. I am not paranoid, I know that I am being followed.

Not if the lawn is just as wide as your house. So it is not a guarantee.

One step forward, two steps back.
I would use it to see if my drink hasn't been watered down and is actually the brand I ordered.
And why would they not give away the code for free? I mean other then being a complete douchebag about it.
They already got the money from the game. The game won't get them any extra income.
