Well, that's why I said "attempt" to prevent you from hacking their product. You're just as free to attempt to bypass those countermeasures.
Actually, without the GPL3 you can lose the freedom to attempt to bypass those countermeasures. I guess you might argue that you are free to bypass those countermeasures so long as you do not get caught, but that holds true for any crime. The GPL3 is an attempt to maintain the same freedom as the GPL2 in the face of the changing legal landscape with laws such as the DMCA. Now you may or may not like the GPL[2|3] for whatever reason, but the GPL3 is consistant with the GPL2 in the face of a changing underlying legal foundation and without the GPL3 all GPL2 software can become effectively non-free do to newer anti-circumvention laws.
I highly recommend buying the book. I spent three weeks learning and producing content that was assembled into a DVD. I do have a bit of 3D experience, mostly in POV-Ray. I don't think it is possible to hunt and peck your way around Blender to achieve any level of proficiency. There are just too many parts that do too many things. The book really helps pull it all together and demonstrate just how easy things really are.
Blender's UI is the Emacs of the 3D Modelling world, it's got a steep learning curve but when you get it(in the three or so years it'll take), boy will you be marginally productive.
Actually it is the Vi of the 3D Modeling world; it has small footprint and a marginally steep learning curve, but when you get it (in three or so weeks) you will be amazed at what you can accomplish with relatively little effort.
I suspect that there are some efficiencies to be gained through further development. I found this LED bulb that produces 115 lumen and consumes 2.3W which puts it within range of CFLs.
2.3W LED bulb produces about 115 lumens = 50 lumens/watt
Very odd. I checked out the image on both my Linux and Mac computers and the Mac displays the center two lines blurry in both Safari and Firefox. Safari and Firefox both display the image fine outside of the web page. http://img.microsoft.com/typography/faq/brg.gif It look fine when I display my Linux Firefox on my Mac screen via X.
There seems to be some issue interpreting the image as either 444x210 or 444x211. The web page specifies the image's demensions as 444x210 but the actual dimensions are 444x211.
So is the Mac the only system that is rightfully distorting the image as the HTML dictates?
The point is that the populations of users Phil is watching are the developer and startup communities. These two communities decide the standards for tomorrow. If they are using Linux and Mac OSX then the software and services they produce will likely not be tied to Microsoft's desktop. If you do not recognize this as a major shift then please turn in your badge at the desk on your way out.
You will never be modded up with a delivery like that. You need an unexpected twist. For example:
Organic circuits will create a groundswell of competition. The manufacturing plants are so inexpensive that they will be sprouting up everywhere; especially since it will likely be cheaper to build them new than to re-fill the ink cartridges.
Everybody here knows that Perl is great for text processing but horrible for web sites. I'll bet people on Slashdot cannot even name one popular website written in Perl.:p
Enron is not gone because the reality that they actually had no money overtook their fiction, Enron is gone because they changed their name to CrossCountry Energy Corp. While most of their business activities stopped they were too well connected to just disappear.
Are you talking about that feature in the XP start menu where the additional programs menu pops up just in time to steal your click when you are trying to click on something else? Yeah, I *love* that one too.
Loss of work??? I have experienced a crash or so over the past year, but how do you lose your work? OOo has one of the best crash recovery systems I have seen. Once we lost power during a storm while I was in the middle of working on a number of documents. As soon as power was restored I booted my computer, started OOo and there were all my documents with everything I had typed up to the outages.
Please do not take my word for it, try it yourself. Start editing a bunch of documents and the pull the plug. If you can get your OS to boot, I'll bet OOo will recover your documents. I guess you could use Force Quit or xkill if you do not wish to abuse your entire computer, but where is the fun in that.
I myself never put food in the community fridge, but many others had been complaining about missing food items. I thought I would help out all the poor souls so one day I put catfood in all the lunches to teach that stealing bugger a lesson. I think it worked because the complaining stopped.
No, there is plenty to see here. They have six videos to see. Download each one. Download each one for each person you know. If this is a hoax, they will not survive their bill. If it is not a hoax they will find a way to fund the bandwidth.
I would much rather see more channels, better channel seperation, and increased reliability than distance or speed. It is currently impossible to implement a clean 'B/G' network in a multi-story building. 'A' with its 8 channels is just bearly tollerable.
I'm in the same boat. My district is now south of 45th and east of Duval stretching down to the Rio Grande valley in a single line of people along with four blocks in Sugarland.
Spoken like someone who does not experience the problem. I'll bet you think cancer research is also a waste of time and money because you do not experience the problem.
Well I experience the problem! But I agree with you that fixing the email client will not solve the core issue.
To fix the core issue developers must address the problems with project management, network management, hr management, issue management, document management, notification management, collaboration management, resource management, approval management and general workflow management applications. Each one of these applications solve their communication needs by off-loading to email. Or worse, the applications have no provisions for communication at all forcing people to invent their own processes via email.

I wouldn't worry too much. Soon you will not be able to watch baseball at all unless you subscribe to Direct TV.

This is a truly naive view of the power of the pardon.
http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/06/29/reviews/iraI agree. Not only is it harder to create unreadable code with C, in C the purpose of the code is often obvious even to non-programmers.

Me too, but all my scripts end up with less than 10 lines in Perl so I never make it to Python.

Could you give me a more direct URL. I cannot seem to find the "Mousercise" that teaches you how to avoid a delayed pop-up.

Depending on which Panasonic you have you might be able to upgrade it all the way to a 60" by moving a jumper on the system board.
No, but there are other products that do finance better. http://www.quantrix.com/

0.3ms of latency across a T1 circuit? I would be impressed it you were getting 3ms across a T1 much less 0.3ms.
