What would be nice is if the GUI could automatically create a shell script doing the change.
Heck, I write most of my scripts to output new scripts. No gui needed. This gives me the ability to make a fairly generic script (kinda like a fairly generic gui) which will take a few arguments and produce the script that actually does the work. If there is something weird about the specific case I'm working on, then I can tweak the resultant script. If there isn't anything special that needs to be done, I can just pipe it directly into a shell.
Don't ask me about the "freer" BSD license - I haven't made my mind up about that.
Food for your thoughts then...
The BSD license is primarily concerned with the freedom of software developers and distributors while the GPL's primary concern is the freedom of the end user, Which group you think is more important will probably determine which license you favor.
Tired of seeing software that he and others had written appropriated (without acknowledgment or compensation) by disreputable software companies and then told to pay for software they had written, Stallman took action, creating the foundation.
What a terrible mis-representation of RMS's motivations. The EFF wasn't founded because RMS thought his software being "stolen" - it was created because he was locked out of fixing bugs in software on equipment in the lab where he worked. Read the first chapter of Free as in Freedom: Richard Stallman's Crusade for Free Software. -- For Want of a Printer for a description of that seminal moment.
Films are funded on the basis of demand for ticket sales.
No. Films are funded on the basis of demand for ticket sales as perceived by middlemen - middlemen who care nothing about quality of the end-product or even the long-term viability of the people making the movies.
So? The point is to have something to fill in for a default of a field that 99% of the users won't ever even see. If it ever needs to be changed, the user gets to pick something much shorter and more meaningful to them.
Go with a user-editable field that defaults to the unit's UDID for username and also defaults to a reasonably unguessable password. That way you have a sane default that user can change if they have a need to. Make sure to include a brief help description of that field and its purpose so that the user will know that it need not be a bunch of hex digits.
Also, on the server side keep a unique "user id" that never goes to the phone - that way changing the username on the phone side doesn't result in a brand new account on the server side.
Also, watch out for collisions - don't want some poor schmuck changing their username to one that already exists and then being both locked out and unable to change it to something else.
there are also references to "Myrtus" within a path left in the code.
Considering the virus targets the PLCs in SCADA systems where RTUs are standard system components, I'm willing to bet that "myrtus" is short for something like "My RTU Source" rather than an obscure reference to guavas.
It always sucks to lose your job. But government layoffs like this are the inevitable result of the long overdue move to getting out of the way of commercial spaceflight. Plus, when a highly skilled workforce gets furloughed that is an opportunity for new companies in the area to improve their human capital. Necessity is the mother of invention.
I supposed blastocystic stem cells is too hard to say, otherwise you might be on to something.
Same number of syllables. You could even abbreviate it to "blasto-stem cells" which would be popular with the video game crowd. If we could only come up with something that sounds litugical to make it popular with the fundos.
Because more of the danger is from distraction than the use of a hand on the device, so speech-to-text solves something that isn't the problem.
You are confused. You are thinking of the studies that show hands-free phone operation is not significantly safer than hand-held operation. But that's totally different from texting and, so far, there is no scientific evidence for your belief.
They already do. They get all the rights we do but with very few of the consequences.
Absolutely. Corps will start to deserve the same rights as people the day something like a manslaughter verdict is enough to fiscally isolate an entire corp from society in the same way jail would isolate a flesh and blood human.
it fouled up my reading to no end. From the different layouts to it choosing stuff it thought I wanted over others. I prefer the old version much better. I am more likely to visit sites like DrudgeReport which throw it all up there and I pick and choose with ease instead of trying to figure out where something I might want to read went. I bounce between CNN/FOX to get all the stories afterward and then back to google's news collector.
It's like this latest remodel of google news has thrown away all the good parts, specifically:
1) The mostly random nature of the articles and publishers grouped by category on the front page (i.e. sports, world politics and business sections) 2) Density of the layout - I get lot less headlines to pick from than I used to
I don't even let google set a cookie or use javascript so I assume its gotta be even worse for 'normal' users.
FWIW, the current layout reminds a lot of the old Nando Times news website which was freaking awesome... 15 years ago.
Drugs were originally prohibited as a tool to control Americans and immigrants of black and mexican persuasion. It than grew into a form of direct control of the population and a great source of funds for the enforcement/detainment industry and government 'Black Ops'.
LOL. You are one paranoid fruitcake. Your rant proves my point about drugs (and their users). How about you read this (obviously misinformation planted by the Greys out of Area 51, ha!): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_LSD
It's not clear what you are referring to in that lengthy article on LSD, but since you want to cite wikipedia, how about you start with the criminalization of marijuana which long predated even the invention of LSD:
Considerable issues existed involving illegal immigration of Mexicans into the United States, and the one thing Mexicans were identified as being in possession of was cannabis, aka marijuana,[17]. The southern border states called for action.[17] After the enactment, illegal immigrants and U.S. citizens could be arrested for possession of cannabis.
"An outside observer"? That would explain how you presume to sit there in judgment of us who have to live with the Community Organizer's capricious policies, foisted upon us by his choicest advisers who have never had private-sector jobs in their lives. The inconsistency of those policies is clearly not leading us out of the tar pits, but rather burying us in them even more.
Wherever you are, do us a favor and stay there.

Let's see - I have never been in China and don't plan to go in the near future - maybe if Google added a feature that allows me to CONTROL what countries I can access it from, it could alleviate a lot of this problem.
I'd rather have out-of-band notifications of access - kinda like the way some banks do for their credit card accounts. For example - I'd like to get a text message everytime someone logs into my account and everytime some major change is made - like setting up an auto-forward or changing the password.
Second, and this is by all means a serious question, are current vinyl releases any better than current CD releases? Or are they also compressed to avoid complaints about sounding quieter than the CD version?
Generally the vinyl is not over-compressed. But there are notable exceptions like the recent Metallica album - in that case the vinyl was exactly the same as CD because they were both mixed under the auspices of the same producer - I forget his name, but he's become ever more popular in the business and he brings the loudness war with him to every new project he takes on and this was his first metallica album. What's really interesting about the metallica case is that the guitar hero version was (apparently) mixed by the guitar hero sound engineers and they were not under the control of any of the loudness warriors. The result was that the people who really wanted the best sound quality from that album bootlegged the ripped guitar hero version.
Did you leave them in a hot car? No one does that with vinyl - plenty of people do that with CDs left in a CD changer. My first - or at least early - pressing of Brothers in Arms from 1985 is still top notch.

FSF not EFF, I always get those acronyms mixed up. Too many F's or maybe because their goals are complimentary.

Anonymous web commenting has gotten so out of hand, someone even made a firefox plugin to filter it!
Such irony that the comments section for that plugin are full of spam.
Perhaps the plugin author doesn't know it's there because his filter is on.

Maybe the submitter is a kiwi and is torqued about being left off the map?

Make it a phrase, much easier to get large number of characters that way, although it does lower the entropy.

Those are the other bits in the same mask as the evil bit - they are just less significant.

Here's a video comparing CD mix to guitar hero mix - you don't even need headphones to tell the difference.
