I can't believe it. I extracted the text file from mercurial and put it on disk as a plain text file. I submitted this article before I went out to my son's birthday party. When I got back I wondered why nothing was working.
Once the smoke clears from my office I will go through the logs and try to work out whether it was the single, short plain text file or the link to the source code which did the damage.
He was told to get back into his car. This is SOP.
As an Australian this doesn't make sense to me. If a cop here told me to get in my car I would assume I was good to go, which doesn't appear to be the case here.
I visited the US with my then girlfriend in 1997. We applied for visas at the US consulate in Melbourne, Australia. We had such a bad experience at the consulate that I am sure it would have ended as badly as this if we had been in the US at the time.
But then we entered the US at Newark and departed at Los Angeles and had no problems at all. The officials we interacted with were very polite and professional. I think its just the luck of the draw.
I can't speak for the rest but I dislike Windows for the little annoyances which I don't seem to be able to get rid of. For example my wife's copy of WindowsXP pops up this window saying that her copy of windows is vulnerable because we don't have antivirus. I know this system is not vulnerable and I would like to inhibit the warning but I don't know how. As an experienced windows user you probably know a trick for this so I would be interested in any advice you can give me on this. To be frank the warning annoys the hell out of me. I wish it has a "don't tell me this again" checkbox.
Another one is the window which offers to help me clean up the desktop, usually every couple of minutes. It would be nice if I could make that one go away and not come back.
Disliking windows might be like disliking a couch because it has a spring which jabs you in the back. Its not about who made the couch or the overall quality. Its about that bloody spring.
I blame the internet. Software in those days could have lots of bugs but without an easy way to complain about (and exploit) them nothing got done immediately. Now with the internet spammers jump in with exploits and users hit the forums.
One big problem was interference on the line. Some of our clients came out at the other end looking like nothing on Earth and very little on Venus or Mars. - Arthur C Clarke "Travel by Wire". ~1948 or so.
That article will remain in a superposition of states for me until I read it. So when I read TFA will I collapse the wave function of the article and everybody who has read it? But what if I read your profile? Shouldn't that be enough to collapse your wave function?
As I said: they target civilians but they are discriminating about the type of civilians they attack. I specifically remember an article about an Indonesian suicide bomber who aborted an attack on a cafe because a Muslim woman entered the premises.
which is actually fine - and I think the ACLU would think so too - provided this decision making process doesn't consist of a haliburtan employee saying, "I don't think he belongs here... *bang*"
Suicide bombers are actually more discriminating. They have been known to survey the target and abort the attack if a person they deem on their side (a Muslim) would be killed in the attack.
Using drones on domestic targets is already against the law and you'll notice that the areas in question are stuff like Afghanistan and Iraq. They won't be shooting at protesters in the US anytime soon and in Iraq they could just as well drop an artillery shell on those same protesters if that's what they wanted.
So what protects protesters in my home town?
Let me guess: if you don't live in the US then STFU.

Python was taking all the CPU on my server. Check back tonight if you want the code. I will re-enable it later.

There's a reason why we don't keep address books in openly-readable unencrypted XML files.

Gnome and Win7 File Explorer are less than optimal for finger manipulation
Enlightenment is very finger friendly.

Police have too much power.
So presumably sentencing is still in the future, with the two year jail term a potential outcome.

You would think he could correct that by taking on a little bit more advertising. Not all his content is advertiser phobic.
I can't find the book but:
Now I lay me down to bed
Darkness won't engulf my head
I can see by infrared
How I hate the night.

Well by one standard Linux has been under development since 1969.

There is another theory that this has already happened.
Or to walk through walls?

1. Upload your personality into software
2. Build robotic bodies for our personalities
Both of these things seem closer than the star trek transporter (or stepping disks for that matter).

Given them more flexibility in the export market.
