I must say, despite my initial doubts, the Ribbon is amazingly useful. All the options I need are never more than a click or two away, no longer buried in Format>Paragraph>Advanced>Options>Advanced>Custom or something similar.
That said, wonder why Word 2007 doesn't suffer from this. Have MS actually tightened up some security?
We ended up firing a 100g mass through a ply wall 4m away (That's metres, not miles). The original specification was to fire a single screw a distance of 2m. Big iron blocks, chunky capacitors, relays (We welded about 6 of these shut when we didn't do the maths right), optical sensors and a PIR mounted to the front of the barrel to make sure it was clear to fire. Timing of things like the triggers (Each magnet had two capacitor banks, one wired each way to invert the field) was run from a small bit of Python.
Umm, cell phones aren't required to be locatable. It's a byproduct of the technology used (as with any radio device) which means they are locatable whether there's a requirement or not.
As for the phased array, does it take into account things like pockets? Not to mention you'd need very detailed weather patterns to cope with the wind carrying sound, Doppler etc.
Battery life? Different interface? Screen resolution? Storage? File types? Connectivity? Should it be paperback size? Slimmer, or keep it chunky? Does it want turning pages, or constant scrolling? Should fonts be resizeable (Which defeats the point of PDF)? How are bookmarks added and stored? Do people need annotation capability? Should the display be e-ink or LCD?
That's why it's not just a matter of putting a 486 with 4MiB RAM (Would need some permanent storage in there as well) into a box with a screen. A good device needs a market, and I know that I don't want to have to wrestle with an awkward device to read a good novel.
Nope, they're pressed/injection moulded (A strange combination of the two) then rapidly cooled and released. The rate is, if my memory serves me, 1.2 bricks per second per moulding machine. (In batches of 12, done in about 10 seconds per batch)
See introduction of Euros. Except in this case, a crossover period would be even easier because the actual value of the currency wouldn't change (Unlike with the Euro crossover, when PoS systems had to do conversion all kinds of ways (Price in Euros, paid for in Francs, change in Euros etc).
This doesn't work in most cases, since your friends aren't usually going to quote C. S. Lewis at you. Therefore, anything which sounds like classical literature is spam.
A vomitorium is a feature in theatres, namely the exits located below the seating usually in a thrust or amphitheatre stage, although occasionally seen in other forms. The name comes from the fact that after the performance the audience would 'vomit' out of them. They're also quite handy for cast entrances and exits.
It's not the space that's important to me, it's the fact that I can very quickly search through over 20,000 pieces of 'paper' (How I have the much at the tender young age of 19 I will never know).
Sort chronologically, sort alphabetically, sort by tag, keyword search, text search... it's all good stuff. Unless of course you have a filing cabinet which can search documents for you, in which case I'd be interested in buying one.
Leeds spent many thousands on replacing old CRTs with LCDs, which worked roughly alright (Except for the fact that they were ran by Win2K and sometimes got interesting errors) except for, like you said, burn in after a year or two.
They have now been replaced with huge banks of LED displays, similar to those in airports (I believe London KX has done this as well), which are amazingly bright, incredibly readable, and 100x more reliable.
It's still a bug though. Firefox thinks it's recovering from a crash when, in fact, the system was shut down correctly. Firefox *will* have received a notification from Windows to this effect and should damn well be able to close elegantly.
On my daily walk to school I am seen by at least 4 cameras, and in school I am constantly monitored when on the corridors. When I go out on an evening I am monitored constantly in Leeds city centre. The restaurant I eat in knows how many times I've visited before because I pay by card.
I don't feel worried about this. They are all public places. I *have* the freedom to do anything which isn't illegal in any of these places, although the responsible body may decide to throw me out in the school or restaurant because I'm being an idiot. I *have* exactly the same amount of privacy my parents had when they went into Leeds on an evening and went to their favourite restaurant. Walking to school they met the same people, who said a cheery hello. At school all the staff knew them and saw them. In Leeds of an evening if they broke any laws there was more than likely either a police officer or a concerned citizen nearby, and the favourite restaurant had staff who cared to know familiar customers.
At home, I am not monitored or tracked in any way. I have not lost or any privacy at home, and I'll be damned if I let people try take it.
The gigantic radiation symbol is saying something that's untrue. The one you see which means "Caution - Radiation Hazard" means something is radioactive. Irradiated foodstuffs aren't, they have merely been exposed to a brief burst of ionising radiation to kill bacteria.
This never ceases to amaze me - if you can deny the Holocaust ever happened *and produce evidence to support your claims* then you have just as much right to voice your opinions as anybody else.
Disclaimer: I personally am of the opinion that the Holocaust certainly happened, although it is quite possible some figures were subject to dubious rounding in the process of the winners writing down history.
Don't let your apps access your DB with global permissions.
Obviously make sure data is scrubbed prior to putting it anywhere near a query, but make sure you have an account which can only read, an account which can only write/update tables, and a final one which can delete records in tables.
The end result is that even if an ingenious user finds a way to get a DROP statement past your scrubbing, they won't be able to do anything useful in most cases since the account running the query only has permission to read. As for deleting tables, they won't have permissions to do that in any instance.
And yet any national scheme to collate and attempt to secure this data is met with cries of Big Brother!
People sometimes *need* to know who you are, or *need* to know how old you are. Your employer *needs* to know who you are in order to complete their tax returns. In the UK as system called PAYE for loads of things (Student loans, NI contributions etc) relies on your employer knowing exactly who you are. Pubs and clubs *need* to know you are over a certain age, or they risk losing their licence and being prosecuted.
The easiest way to reduce the amount of data people require to positively identify you is, strangely enough, to lump it all together in a central database. That way pubs can have a simple thumbprint reader which sends a request to this database. All they need receive back is a "Yes" or "No" response, the database does the deciding if you're old enough to purchase alcohol. The pub never sees your address, SSN, DoB or anything similar.
If it makes you feel better, this system doesn't need to store any more information than is already known about you. It just makes it easier to search through. Of course, if you don't like people relying on knowing who you are then perhaps you would prefer a nation without any form of centralised government. I hear Somalia is doing quite well.
So when foreign stores open their UK or US branches, complete with accented characters, how in God's name are UK and US citizens going to suddenly learn how to type accented vowels, umlauts etc?
I wish they would ban LED display boards visible from roads. At one point trying to get out of Leeds (UK) on the inner ring road you're faced with a huge LED board above some club, and at night it ruins any attention you may have been paying to other traffic.
Similar to Einstein saying "God doesn't play dice", then quantum uncertainty taking off. It's possible that quantum mechanics is the basic set of rules and particles behind the universe, but I doubt it. Who's to say what we know now is as good as it gets?
Even more outside the box, is antimatter affected by gravity? If you throw a positron (the antiparticle of an electron) into an electric field it will behave oppositely to an electron. Logically, if you throw any particle with antimatter into a gravitational field it will behave oppositely to conventional matter.
As far as the fibre goes - yes. At least to every hospital in the country, routed through 4 centres spread across the nation then onto a central dedicated fibre backbone.
Technically it would be a server not found error, because 404 (Not Found) would indicate that there was a server on the other end able to send the error message. But I get your point.
display:none means display:none regardless of the end browser. In fact, on some sites I have a stylesheet explicitly for screen-readers, text browsers and braille displays which sets some elements (like header images) to display:none so that they don't get in the way.

There are cars which do that anyway. Take a look at the Toyota Prius (Flash).

However, even with PostgreSQL, setting up these things is more than an apt-get.
I see you've never worked with big databases. Clustering? Redo logs?
