I am beginning to see why Japanese companies put so much effort into developing home robots.
It should be possible to throw something together out of fairly standard parts. A PC running Linux, a web cam, a TV tuner and an IR remote control. But I can't see anything off the shelf doing this.
Case in point: sometimes I top up the air in my bicycle tyres at a petrol station over the road from my work place. I never buy petrol there but sometimes I buy junk food, drinks, etc. Sometimes I am a customer, but never when I fill up my bike.
I have never had any complaints. The air hose is written off as good will.
What kind of software company uses PowerPoint to illustrate their application?
Practically all of them, unfortunately. Even our company Christmas dinner has had a power point presentation for the last couple of years. Its hard to kick off the old thought processes without a slide for prompting.
Travelling is enough of a nuisance without these prats trying to piss you off as well.
The flight I took from Malaysia to Australia in January had a similar level of security and I put it down to the flight I was boarding being from the USA. Its not just happing at US airports. It is airports which aircraft transit to after leaving the US as well.
We could all see it coming, Stephenson was just the first to point out how horrible the idea is. Lets see if they can build in the remote retinal scanner gadget.
And euphemisms are a problem for google. You could write a web page about a service escorting children to school for safety and google ads for escort services appear on the page.
But shutting down his wombat-rescue operation? That's just plain mean.
Perhaps his hole was a giant wombat hole. I for one wouldn't want to mess with a three metre wombat. Nothing like that has been seen for 100000 years. I think the Government did the right thing to suppress information about the Hole.
Where I live it is perfectly legal to advertise prostitution. I can see that google will take the attitude that it is illegal most places so it is safer for them to ban it. But there is a line to be drawn here. Essay writing services seem to be mainly an academic issue. Lots of people would never have heard about it. Perhaps they should ban advertising for game hacks.

No sympathy for Microsoft when it allows the deletion of a couple files which can cause a BSOD.
Plenty of things will do that in Linux./vmlinuz for one.

Just out of curiosity, is it that much cheaper to live in Australia or was she just able to find a better job in her home country?
I think it depends on where in the States you want to live. I get conflicting reports from people who move there, and from Americans I know living in Australia. But if you want to rebuild your career it is much easier to do that in an environment which you understand well, and where you have a support network.
Living overseas cuts you off from family who might help you out with things, and contacts you made when young. I think it makes sense to go back home when something like this happens.
So either MS just shrugs its shoulders, and counts the money they paid to Novell as a loss (meaning - they don't give away the coupons), or they somehow give away all the coupons before anything in SuSE uses GPL3
Or SUSE holds off on taking GPLv3 userland code until MS have offloaded their coupons.
When I was 10 my computer had an audio cassette interface with a 300 baud modem. Most of the bytes on tape were null characters to give the 6502 CPU time to catch up. Realistically you could put 5k on a tape.
Open source and well funded, based on Squeak Smalltalk.
I have wanted to give it a go for a while. The only download seems to be the SDK. Does that mean you have to write code to get it working at all?
I tried to get the SDK via a torrent once but I got an error from bittorrent and didn't take it further. It seems rude these days to download 70M at a time from one server.

Thats how I trained myself to use a left handed mouse after my right hand gave out from...typing.

I don't want to be the one who has to stay back at night to change backup tapes.
You know with the right sort of particle accelerator you could send messages straight through the Earth and save a heap of latency.
That was the one about condescending unix guys (like me, I suppose). More directed at windows fanboys than children.

You are a couple of weeks late. So it goes.
Or SUSE holds off on taking GPLv3 userland code until MS have offloaded their coupons.
The GNU part of the userland will definitely go to GPLv3, and that is as much a part of linux as the kernel.

It doubled as a sound card. Sort of.

And nobody in the real white house thought to write a filter to bounce them back? Doesn't sound like a good way to run an email system (or a country).
