With an author as hot IMHO and obsessed with XHTML validity (just a few URI errors on the NYPL home page) as Bickner, I wouldn't mind. I like writing valid XHTML--the awareness to validation keeps me awake, if only a waste of time in the process. That said, I too prefer the GIMP over paying for anything like PS/Fireworks; it seems good enough and "cheap" enough to me. I can see the flood of e-mails to Bickner now, with Subject: GIMP...
It's 'cause Asimow didn't listen to me and made his X11-style license instead. That, of course, would allow any fool^Wauthor to copy, modify, merge, and do a whole bevy of things with their work. Maybe now Cory GPLed it so Asimov can't get his code--uh, story--back. I do wonder why they don't cite sources these days after all the crap they give us in college...
The hashing is done by mathematic operations, so I'm sure something like SHA can be "cracked" almost (almost because they're just hashes and not full files) like solving an equation, right?
Are those like those acTUATIONS that you inhale from an asthma pump? (FWIW I suffered from asthma once; it simply "faded" away.) I gess we all miss a letter once evey few miutes.
...by prodding me with a shock-stick and saying Move along. I didn't know if it was Stallman or Brown or some other guy--he did look bald and have this big gas-mask-thing on...
They should post the story and its Comments link after the Comments page is ready to show on Slashdot.
Take off every sig. For great justice.
The best sig ever (but I'm keeping mine, thank you).
Back on topic: This reminds me of the Videophones used mostly around these areas by news reporters et al. They look horrible and still lag from the satellites etc. I hope someone finds a way to transmit the pictures (and in this case, the VoIP voices) with optic fiber or tachyons or something, to reduce the lag and keep the quality high.

A reference to Julius Caesar. That did-you-know aside, I don't like how engines like Havok and Meqon slow down so horribly with more than a moderate number of objects. It adds slightly (I think) to Half-Life 2's stuttering and makes realistic implosions almost impossible. I don't know how to optimize them though so I think I'll have to live with it (or get better processors). *sigh*
...that's where it'll stay, once you get a new PC. I've been seeing less floppy drives built-in these days, if only because of CD-R[W]s, the Internet, and now USB keys and the like.
Sometimes I might not motice the originals; the dupes would be good in those cases. If anything, News 12 in my city dupe far more with their news I think, often repeating it.
Although I'd really like if said tax helped lower the price of gas. Maybe less people will drive 'cause of it, and less gas will be wasted; supply might go up a bit.
Seriously, that's what sucks about teh IE. I think they got much (if not all) of the security issues out of the way with SP2, but I can't wait for them to actually blend PNGs with the page instead of a gray background. It's like they wanted to shortcut it and they never got around to doing things the "right" way...although I've never seen a W3C test suite saying how translucent PNGs should mix with pages (I've seen the pages at libpng.org). If the W3C makes one MS might actually notice.

Those are some good penis enlargement pills.
he would still wonder what in Sam Hill it was for.
But Google told me it was still Beta! Dammit Google, you and your subnet trial features...
No, no. Us 21 century folks used to deflower virgins there. It's a circular, central location for, you know, services...and some summer solstice crap.
Eshcuse me shonny, d'you know where I can find shome booty^H^H^H^H^Hshource code?
there's rumors on the uh, Internets that we're going to get owned with this SHA1 thingy. (Forgive me, I'm from the Bronx.)
The hashing is done by mathematic operations, so I'm sure something like SHA can be "cracked" almost (almost because they're just hashes and not full files) like solving an equation, right?
...at least we still have SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512.
That said...PWN3D!!1!
...if they begin to require a EULA, an NDA, or an IOU, we'll be SOL and then FUBAR.

I guess All our GNU/Base Are belong to Brown then.
So that's the Pink Panther's shy half-brother! I shoulda known...
Then I guess the auctioneers have no chance to survive make their time.
da da da da, duh, duh, da duh daaahhh...
At least for the legit players, anyway.
