Well see this preview is like a GPL beta. Or unstable. In fact, let's called it something like GPL, the Messy Midget. I suggest you try the stable, though perhaps slightly outdated GPL 2.x tree, last updated in 1991.
You know maybe we should have some other distributions of the GPL. We could have one called GPLspire, that basically comes with a legal team that you have to pay for each month to ensure that others don't violate your licence. Or how about SlackGPL, that tries to be as much like the Communist Manifesto as possible.
What about just having a security camera in the passenger cabin?
In other news, I recommend to Taco that he blow up this childish 403'ing of the w3 validator so we can actually, uhm, test your new layout as you have asked us to. Kthx.
This seems very similar to this article from just a few days ago, yet I don't think they're the same thing. I'd be interested in seeing a direct comparison of the nanorods and the diamond nanotubes.
Second, in a language such as English whose words for the most part lack any necessity to the order in which they're placed to understand they're meaning and, even worse, lack declension forms to distinguish subject from object of the preposition, with what success can a language recognition program have "learning" such a language when prepositions themselves mainly can be omitted?
Your story sounds really improbable. Let's think about this for a minute, please. The G4 in an iBook or PowerBook uses what, 20W max? And the rest of the machine uses maybe another 20W? That's only 40W. Not even a single 60 W light bulb. If this room to which you're referring is the size of a shoebox, perhaps such as ones in a dollhouse, then your conclusion that it 'heated up the whole damn room' might be correct. But everyone knows that guys don't play with dolls, and that there are no girls on slashdot. So you must be, well, you must be lying.
approach to fighting sex addiction. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea.
( ) Violates amendments to Constitution (x) Christians would object (x) Technical limitations (x) Gives a whole new meaning to sexually-transmitted virus ( ) It will slow hormones and then we'll be stuck with it (x) Prostitutes will not put up with it (x) Microsoft will not put up with it ( ) The police will not put up with it ( ) Unsustainable business model ( ) Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once (x) Many brothels cannot afford to lose business ( ) Pornographers want to keep people coming back ( ) Detrimental impact to society as we know it
Specifically, your plan fails to account for
( ) Laws expressly prohibiting it ( ) Lack of centrally controlling authority (x) Mail-order brides (x) Asshats (x) Jurisdictional problems ( ) Unpopularity of local franchises ( ) Public reluctance to accept weird new sexual deviancy (x) Huge existing investment in dildos, lotion and porn videos ( ) Susceptibility of protocols to attack (x) Unwillingness of users to install birth control patches received by email (x) Armies of worm riddled broadband-connected Windows boxes (x) Eternal virtual-penis-length race involved in all approaches ( ) Extreme profitability of porn ( ) Identify theft ( ) Technically illiterate politicians ( ) Extreme stupidity on the part of people who do business with the sex industry ( ) Dishonesty on the part of pornographers themselves (x) Bandwidth costs ( ) Windows Media Player
and the following philosophical objections may also apply:
(x) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever been shown practical ( ) Any scheme based on opt-out is unacceptable (x) Malfunctions suck ( ) Forgetting your BSDM safeword sucks ( ) It's bad enough reading Viagra email, now I have to see it around me (x) Devaluing real relationships ( ) Why should we have to trust you and your servers? ( ) Incompatiblity with open source or open source licenses (x) Feel-good measures do nothing to solve the problem ( ) One-nighters are cumbersome (x) I don't want pervs sniffing my connection ( ) Drugs are not the answer
Furthermore, this is what I think about you:
(x) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work. (x) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it. (x) Nice try, assh0le! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your house down!
Hasn't this been known a long time now? And by long time I mean around seven years??? The US has pretty infrastructure, yet we aren't doing anything with it, and broadband remains ridiculously overpriced compared to the likes of Sweden, where synchronous 100Mbit/sec connections can be had for just few dozen kroner a month.
The real challenge is rural areas. Unless something spectacularly revolutionary happens, like somone launching a bunch of solar-powered autonomous blimps with WiMax transceivers onboard, anyone outside city areas is going to be left behind. I blame our government's lack of involvement in progressing the telecom industry here, such as a series of bad decisions by the FCC, and letting Verizon and Friends® hold the sword instead.
Here are your recent submissions to Slashdot, and their status within the system:
2005-08-10 14:30:01 Google IM Client, Revisited (Index,Google) (rejected)
I linked to five or six articles, plus a past slashdot story, and a couple of them talked about Jabber, and being multi-protocol, and talked about p2p, and Apple. But this article? It links to some stupid blog.
It couldn't happen again, of course, at least not in remotely the same way, because we now have a load of things, such as animals, that consume oxygen. Has it occurred to anyone that we might be able to use this as a source of hydrogen for a hydrogen economy??? It's indirectly solar power, guys.
it seems like mostly smaller and medium-sized businesses would be vulnerable to this, not larger corporations, or perhaps a small division of a larger corp, because access to big cash usually requires the blackmailee to go through some kind of board of directors who are going to refuse to yield, while a more tightly-knit mom and pop shop is going to have no one to turn to. A big company could have all sorts of resources immediately available for damage control (e.g. warning customers of fraudulent information, quick access to high-level law enforcement, à la FBI). Sigh, and all because of wireless networks. When is Cisco, D-Link, Netgear, going to learn to turn on encryption by default? Microsoft learned the hard way; users are too damn stupid to secure anything on their own, and that includes business. That's what it comes down to, stupidity.
Disclaimer: I'm a hardcore liberal.
But I can't stand it when liberals make the "how can Republicans want the death penalty, but not abortion." It's easy. Unborn children haven't committed crimes. Criminals have. Personally I still don't want the death penalty for a different reason, because there is a clear racial and financial bias going on in the American legal system; however, I still hate it, and feel embarassed when, my friends try to use this idiotic argument of "Republicans are contradicting themselves!" when my friends are arguing for abortion or against the death penalty.
...by 'multiple institutions...as opposed to ebay, bank, etc.' Isn't that multiple institutions?
I think what the summary is really trying to say is, to the phishers' advantage, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
I was wondering, how do these people typically register accounts with free web services? Our site was having a problem with comment spam, so a CAPTCHA test tends to do the trick basically all the time. On the other hand, I've also heard about defeating the test by starting a porn site and then taking the image and showing it to visitors and basically just having them type the right answer and they get to see 10 pictures or something. What we ended up doing was a word riddle, like "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy ___s" or "3 + 5 = _" So if automated registering of these accounts is a problem, that's what I would suggest. Or you could surely just prohibit any files with a.bat or.exe or.whatever extension, and only allow.html,.gif,.jpg,.png,.wav,.txt, and a few more. I mean, if it's a free service, you get what you pay for. If you really need to host programs it shouldn't be too much trouble for you to buy something for $5/month. All in all this doesn't really seem like that outrageous of a problem.
It's actually a lot simpler than that. You have a pattern of black and white lines on the perimeter of your turntable and use a photocell to watch them. That way you can phase lock all the time, not just with a test tone disc.

For everyone's info, I believe this is a Simpsons joke.
news for nerds, stuff from like, a year ago.
Uh, hello!? Canonical Ltd??
Wouldn't be too hard to write code to redirect all the 3d vector nonsense back into standard GDI calls.
Hey, great, let me know when you're done.
You shall be missed
Or not. Rehnquist might have just died, but guess what, he also thought segregation was constitutional.
Good riddance.

As opposed to an indecent blowjob, I gather.

The editors can go fuck themselves, frankly.
1) write insecure OS
2) spammers create botnets from your OS
3) sue spammers
4) profit!!!
UGH. *scratches another mark on the wall to keep track of how many times people have confused Orson Welles with H. G. Wells*
Kids, Orson Welles did not write War of the Worlds. H. G. Wells did, in 1898. Orson Welles just made a dumb little radio adaption of it.
