It should be noted that if the student carries the student ID at all times, they can be secretly read in other locations. For example it would be easy to find out which students are at a bar, a location where a suspicious group hangs out, in a bathroom, at a game, in church, at another school, etc. Anywhere there is electrical power, or even anywhere someone carries a mobile reader. However it is not going to help someone if they are kidnapped. It isn't about security. Small children are sometimes given phones that can be tracked in case of kidnapping and that is far different. This on the contrary could be aimed at a bus or school gate to see when a target leaves. It is a vulnerability.
Unless I am mistaken (tl;dr) each city in Germany seems to be considering gnu/linux separately and much effort is probably being duplicated in the evaluation, training and customization phases. I am curious: 1) Wouldn't savings continue into the future with no need to buy Windows 2015, etc when supported version life ends? 2) Couldn't the second city in Germany use what Munich learned, compare Munich's consideration process to their own situation and save a lot of effort? 3) I don't know what kind of customization is involved, but wouldn't it be the same for say Stuttgart or Koeln? 4) If 1 million Euros of the saved money from each city is put into hiring open source developers to improve the system, that would be a massive boon to the open source world and open source software in general. Is anybody thinking about this? Specifically: 5) What are the chances / how would one go about in establishing a way for all municipal/state governments in Germany or EU for that matter, to pool their funds and make the necessary improvements such as oh I don't know, how about: - LibreOffice enhancements like fixing pasting of outlines from TextEdit into LibreOffice, making outlines import correctly from LO into MS Word, making templates for Draw for both government and small/medium/large companies, making templates for Calc, Write and Impress, making database templates that work with it all, gathering, organizing and fixing every glaring compatibility issue regarding MS Office interoperability, etc. It isn't rocket science and 50M Euros with some responsible project managers could stomp out all the distracting issues. - Multilingual video series on merits of free software, TCO, installation, training, submitting bug reports and enhancement requests, writing software. - Make a global clearing house for software/services wish list, and how to resolve issues on various distros site, so the wheel doesn't get reinvented all the time. - Make a global support and development job site that helps local developers
Isn't this just like those polystyrene model kits for kids that would have all the parts connected to the main plastic piping by thin, short stems where they could be easily broken off by hand? That's been around at least 30 years easy.
The phrase is "a hollowing out". As in, most of Japanese manufacturing and probably a good chunk of American too has been outsourced to China.
I don't know if there is a website for it, but unless you look at who is doing the mining, smelting, parts producing, assembly, shipping, distribution and waste disposal/reclamation, you can't easily say what the exact numbers are. Somebody must know. But there is a reason most every Kickstarter toy is built in China.
Could it just be that all universes exist but since virtually all the other kinds from ours don't produce life, the odds are very high that we exist in one with a "tuned" big bang? Kind of a cross between the anthropic principle and that recent theory I remember saying that all universes based on consistent logics exist..
Not sure how much floor space your friend has but.. Coffee shop Sell books, comics/manga, magaines Study pods/counters Rent or sell music cds and live concert dvds Sell not rent Rent game consoles have screens showing trailers of new films Contract with indies to sell theirs If it is in a major location, special events for example a director gives a talk Link with film festivals Allow people to watch any films in the shop, plus some streaming accounts, on large screens in the shop - you can just charge per hour and let people try titles one after another Look at the kind of films that get shown on MUBI. Write reviews / recommendations for titles, like in book stores Sell hardware like ebook readers, cameras, hard disks Sell fun and funky products Provide cheap or free coffee or other drinks/eats like in a movie theater Provide books about cinema to get people interested in huge world of film Go after foreign film genres, both classic and contemporary. For example Japanese film, Finnish film, Mexican film, French Film. Put up great movie posters. Not just cheapo sci-fi flix. French posters are often well done. Sell audio books and classical/jazz too, your audience doesn't have to be just little kids, these are popular among older people for car and for home listening. My parents put audio books in the car and also into an ipod for listening at home for my father. Could bring in other crowds - older people, people who are into design, art and architecture, people who are into looking for new films instead of watching the same ones over and over Sell sets of classic movies, like hitchcock or car grant, etc. Sell sets of movies like 007, etc. When a new film is out in theaters, sell or rent all the films that director or lead actor/actress has made. Make a members card that gives you discounts Tie up with other businesses Make new "film festivals" or "Now Showing xxxx" events every week or month (I think this is fair use...) Offer to load ipod with music the person rents, then they don't have to bring the CD back to you.. Rent high quality equipment for people who want to make their own films, or provide studio space for band to record or something to engage community and people who are enthusiastic. Engage film clubs (not sure if this works) Research lots of films so people can always come to you to find them.
Caveats: - As I don't know the current UI for wikipedia editing well maybe it already has some of these things. - A new UI probably is not in fact the main reason for dwindling contributors, as someone else pointed out. Just saying.
General UI - Screens are big these days. Consider an interface that keeps everything on one screen. - At least a rich text editor type thing with buttons for tags and popup input forms for entry of book info, etc.
Editing Together - Allow simultaneous editing by more than one person. The portion being edited will update in semi-real time on the other people's screens. - Within the editor UI include a chat frame to allow people to exchange messages in real time or asynchronously and view the past thread of chat, to discuss the article and edit it together simultaneously. - Consider adding voice/video chat by that chat frame, or allow another window to opened that has a video/audio/irc chat.
Viewport - Allow more than one portion of the same file to be visible while editing. MS Word allows you to drag down a viewport separation bar from the ruler area so you can edit two locations in one file simultaneously. LibreOffice can't do this yet which is frustrating to me, wish they would add it. - Apple P.I.E. (Programmers' Interactive Editor) was an awesome editor for the Apple ][ which was a light year ahead of a lot of editors even today. One function I remember clearly decades later was being able to hit IIRC control+0 which would jump the insertion point to past saved cursor locations, letting you jump quickly through a number of points in the file. I have never found that function in other editors and have often wanted it.
Adding Media Collaboratively There are relatively few or no illustrations or photographs illustrating articles. It may be due to copyright fears, lack of talented willing illustrators, or difficulty in uploading and referencing the figures in the text. For example, it seems unlikely that the author of an article is also a talented artist, whereas an artist reading the article is not going to want to learn how to edit wikipedia and get deep into it. Anyway there may be some obstacle, so we should try to make it easier. -> Allow inline images, and provide a facility allowing casual users to upload them (with a form vouching CC right to use it) for consideration for inclusion by the article editor, and have someone else edit them.
Templates - Provide templates in LibreOffice that you can edit and upload. Who wants to edit in a browser window? It isn't yours, it isn't available when you are offline, you might lose your work by closing a tab by accident, etc. etc. The basic idea of editing something important in a browser window is actually anathema to me.. - For that matter, you could integrate with LibreOffice..
Smart Editing - Allow / Force the user to identify proper nouns, processes, etc. that have / should have their own Wikipedia entry. Wikipedia can search for the article and make the entry a link to the article. - Editor can provide smart facilities for adding other kinds of content. For example being able to upload a midi or wav / ogg file in order to explain something about music is an idea. - Provide a smart import wizard that lets you easily import a table by for example copying a range of cells in LibreOffice Calc or some other spreadsheet program and pasting it into an import text area (or allow a spreadsheet file to be dragged onto an import button area).
Third Party - Create an API so third party authors can write cool editing apps.
Databases (after writing I discovered there is an initiative: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata ) - Add ways to input and maintain data that is not cartesian rows and columns. How do you input and edit: o A hierarchical tree? o A tree with lateral links? o A bunch of items with faceted metadata? o A graph wi
Top features of LO that make it better than MS Word (MSW 4 for Mac which is maybe not a fair comparison) for me:
- Autocorrect (fingers don't hurt as much) - Draw (awesome. The other day I opened a PDF, made a text layer to annotate it, print as a new PDF works great! But everyone on the net thinks there is no way on earth to annotate PDFs in LibreOffice! Sheesh.) - Free - Often updated
I have LibreOffice and Microsoft Word 2004 both installed. MS is a dog on the Mac but I haven't needed to upgrade. I use LO because of the autocorrect feature which saves me a lot of keystrokes by figuring out the word I am going to type. But I cannot trust it on formatting. If I make an outline and then open in MS it will have wrong numbering. The way things go wrong is easy to figure out, all you need is a compatibility mode that makes it go wrong the same way as MS. I switched from OOo to MS several years ago because contracts could not be shared with a client. It has caused me trouble. So now I use MS Word for all documents with layout, but type long texts and my stuff in MS.
That said many things are slightly broken or don't work quite right for me (anybody wonder what is happening with the empty pulldown on the Find toolbar?) I regularly find bug-like things and report them to the bug tracker. Yesterday I discovered that Draw export to jpeg does not export high quality! Hmmm I wonder why that is. Need to write it up.
I meant different because I expected a print club kiosk shop on a side street.. was unclear. Anyway looks interesting though wondering how many people will buy! Christmas time is very busy for that building.
This is very different from what I expected from the article, since some years ago I worked with some guys who left Bandai and made all kinds of kiosks - print club stickers, idol contests, internet equipped refrigerators, convenience store ticket kiosks running linux (and lisp originally), etc.
But this one is in Gyre, a fashion building (includes Chanel, Bulgari Cafe and the MOMA shop) in the center of Omotesando here: http://gyre-omotesando.com/ This building has a nice little exhibition space that has been used in the past by artists some I've met, often in collaboration like with Kenwood IIRC, the space is called Eye of Gyre (you can google it or see here: http://whereintokyo.com/venues/25326.html
It website says Omoto 3D Photo Museum is the first exhibition by Creative Lab PARTY, a two-month limited time pop-up store in which you can create your own figure. It is the first attempt in the world to use a 3D scanner and 3D printer to leave a memento of families in their teens. Omote 3D Shashin Kan is open Nov. 24 to Jan 14.
Looking briefly at the companies involved, it looks like maybe ijet does the service and datadesign provides the hardware it seems, and then there are some commercial design and advertising companies, and a media art team called rhizomatiks (which has a neat javascript page) are involved. http://www.ijet.co.jp/ http://www.datadesign.co.jp/ http://rhizomatiks.com/
Like I'm sure Bob couldn't do that? Why does Bob want to work for a sneaky non-paying bunch of people again? If I was Bob I would say FU. Things have gotten the way they are because nobody wanted to help and Bob has to make a living doing a real job. Why not tell him we want to update it all and make it easier for people to get involved, can the current system handle it or do you recommend something different? Forget Google Docs it is bullshit!
As others have said, I would not recommend Google Docs since they keep discontinuing products. It also would seem difficult to organize a lot of files there. Follow the advice of other poster recommending running the board professionally and not sneaking around or preconceiving you need a certain product. Sounds like Bob has done good work for you all, give him a chance to discuss it with you. Frankly you could get a cheap hosting service (just throwing out a name, hostgator for $6 a month..) which will let Bob or someone else build a content management system for you. Start with outlining the current problems, and what the goals of the new system would be. For example a CMS could let multiple people in your organization contribute regularly to the website or CMS.
I don't know, I just opened the UK site on my MacBook Pro 17" and a simple scroll down one screen height easily shows the statement. Scrolling with two finger gesture as normal on the Mac trackpad, it automatically stops at the bottom of the page. With the U.S. site it is a shorter page, granted, but it would still be on the second page and would still show up the same way. The U.S. design is also very "in-your-face" to an embarrassing extent, whereas the UK design is more conservative and I do not think it reflects the kind of weaseling that everyone is freaking out about - that I was angry about too "they are so going to get clobbered" I thought, until I actually checked the links you kindly posted. You and everyone else are absolutely blowing it out of proportion. What a dumb story. Apple does plenty of dumb things, and I have had a love-hate relationship with them for 30 years (loved Apple ][ and Apple///, then hated them to the core when they killed the///... it continues from there). As for the person who said they would fine Apple 10% of profits for this, I think it is crazy. Not a dizzy fanboy though I like my 2009 MBP, this story is just not news.
Who cares about Dotcom. The government is clearly wrong, otherwise it will destroy the networked computing industry. As far as legal basis, even if post offices and bank deposit boxes could be violated due to some anti-terror legislation the contents would still belong to you. What happens in this kind of situation IIRC is, the government gets sued or a higher court gets involved.
I had read about the expansion phenomenon in the past. Does this mean that within every current Li-Ion battery there is a spongelike anode that is growing and shrinking in size whenever it charges? I don't think people realize that usually. Interesting.
As a Mac user I can't say I'm used to that. I monitor all firewall requests from my machine. What I can't stand is not knowing what it means to allow Flash or MS Word to autoupdate.
He got an unfortunate education about citizen journalism. Someone tangentially related to me got himself killed covering a story, he got too close to riots in Mexico some years ago. Conceivably he might have been able to handle himself better or get away with it if he had a press card on him but the reality seems to be that this happens to journalists a lot. Being bewildered etc. I understand but not understanding why this happened is not safe for an aspiring journalist. Especially considering the scary strengthened warlike attitudes of people in all positions of power in North America. It is really a social malaise that is destroying the civilization as we have known it. That said he deserves apologies, reinstatement of rights to be at the mall, monetary and punitive recompensation, and the mall cops need to get fired.
