Anyway, I simply don't give my money to any people exploiting their parents names; be they Herbert, Tolkien, or McCaffrey. I suspect that if they were talented in their own right then they wouldn't be solely writing sequels of their parent's work. But I don't see any problem with basing works on other people's works with no absurd "estates" involved. e.g. Rozenkrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead or Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.:)
I used to play Halo with a group of friends during our "Halo Sundays" gatherings and we had much fun killing each other via LAN.
Then Halo 2 and xbox "live" came out and I had the ability play online versus strangers. The increased levels of hormones was very noticeable because I experienced physical effects such as clenching my teeth and simply felt overall quite a lot more aggressive and in a "kill, kill, kill" frame of mind. I didn't like being in that state so I stopped playing. I thought it was just adrenaline, but testosterone obviously makes more sense with the aggression aspect of it.
It took me a half hour on the phone to get them to finally cancel my "live" account.
It's funny how every story about tv brings out these "enlightened" people that like to brag about how cool they are for not watching tv.
P.S. Reading a book for 12 hours is not really better for your sleep schedule or eyes than watching the 2 hour movie version.:) I've seen the sun rise far too many times due to getting caught up in reading a book.
This nifty applet I bookmarked from a decade ago shows the frequency of integers that appear online and some of their associations. It's neat to see the increase around the 1900s since they obviously appear in dates a lot more and the grids of popularity formed by the increased usage of "round" numbers. http://www.turbulence.org/Works/nums/applet.html
Apparently this is why we got the Pentium, Pentium Pro, et. al. Intel discovered they couldn't trademark or copyright a number so instead of the 586 after the 486 we got the Pentium.
My guess is some blanket policy against high resolution spy satellite photos of anything. Also, the arctic actually is currently a relatively hotly disputed area amongst the countries that border it due to the wealth of natural resources. Russia especially has made recent claims of more of a pie slice than what the other neighbors tended to agree with based on some underwater structures they explored. I'm certainly no fan of Bush and did not vote for him but I'm doubtful that this was some kind of cover up against global warming.
I went to the movies a couple weeks ago and there was a movie poster that was just one big QR Code. I pointed my G1 phone at it and it translated the code to a url where I was able to play a video preview on my phone of Tim Burton's upcoming movie "9". The rest of the world does have it - just not everyone is paying attention.:)
The laws [are] being written to serve corporate power elites,
"Help! Help! I'm bein' repressed!" there's no reason to respect it anymore, "Now we see the violence inherent in the system."
I was actually in the process of trying to figure out how to write a Locale plugin for doing a very similar thing. Although my idea was to use accelerometer data to tell if I am in the car and consequently switch to louder ringtone/notifications.
Same thing in Fort Lauderdale despite the T-mobile coverage map showing solid green for 3G everywhere it's always bouncing between 3G, Edge, off - even within my bedroom. I only kept it because I am moving away in a few weeks and hoping for better results in New York.
It's even worse than that due to inconsistency. In mac/windows, in a program such as a mail client like outlook, the list of mail subjects will scroll when the mouse cursor is in that subwindow and the body of the mail will scroll when the mouse cursor is in that subwindow. So they have click-to-focus between windows and sloppy focus between subwindows. I had a difficult time explaining this to my grandfather.
I'm also quite unclear on why mac has this reputation for good usability/interface because in the few times I have used it I have encountered interface inconsistencies even within the base applications such as network settings. (e.g. radio buttons for "on"/"off" in one interface(dhcp) and a drop down box for "enable"/"disable" for another(static)) And, of course, inconsistencies between applications, too. Mail settings have cancel/save/apply buttons, but to save network config changes you have to close the window(hit the red x) and then get presented with an option to apply changes. Hitting a red x to apply your changes is almost as silly as hitting the start button in windows to stop your pc.:)
I thought they would rule the 3 strikes law unconstitutional because the name is a reference to American baseball and therefore an encroachment on French culture. 8^)
That is fascinating. Thank you, Anonymous Farsi-speaking Coward. This is what makes/. awesome.
That actually reminds me of the infamous Kruschev quote of "We will bury you!" my Russian teacher told us was mistranslated. Americans take that to mean he was threatening to kill us, but the Russian verb he used would be more properly, albeit awkwardly, translated as something like "We will outlive you!" because it had a more passive meaning than how it was translated.
We've always been able to embed videos in web pages. The reason places started embedding them in flash was to make it more difficult to save/view the videos without loading up the whole page and/or to let them force ads before or after the video. And partly just because flash web "design" people only have one hammer so every problem looks like a nail.

I was surprised not to find it when I did an "aptitude search openfire" after seeing a few people mention it in response to the ask slashdot. (My jabberd2 setup works well enough for my company anyway - I was just curious.)
This howto says it is GPL, then says to install prerequisites such as sun java from "non-free" and then download a.deb file to install. Why wouldn't it simply be added to the debian repo so installation is as simple as "aptitude install openfire"? Any idea if the company behind it has some weird policies preventing this?
The openfire website itself does not inspire confidence. The link to the changelog is a 404 and the roadmap is dated over a year ago. But I can't find any reason why it isn't in debian already. (not even sid)
And shouldn't this howto be put on tldp.org? or are people more interested in making ad revenue these days than helping contribute back to the linux community?
Her being half cylon and half human is what brought the two sides together since they both wanted her - in fact, rescuing her is the reason for the final confrontation *and* she helped Kara to find earth2.0. That she becomes mitochondrial eve was just a way of showing that we evolved from them. On the other hand, they did spread out on different continents so maybe that also implies that the other groups died off.
Isn't that the entire point of this model? It gives those people half a continent away information that is correlated with that more accurate local information possessed by peers. This seems similar to the way pagerank worked for google even though they were a continent away and never read the particular webpages. The pagerank algorithm correlated the overall value of a site based on links because the links were created by people familiar with the place they are linking too. These guys are using communication patterns in a way similar to linking patterns. It may not be very strongly correlated, but I don't see why you think the model is "broken".
I'm shocked to see this is the only post bringing up the possibility that a "security company" that very much has something to gain by this is the one publicizing it.
I would be very surprised if the list of ip addresses tied to any searching/sharing of those blueprints did not include most countries in the world. They just picked out the ones that would draw the biggest attention.

When did you last check? Apparently before 1971 since Project Gutenberg pretty much started back then. :)

We herd you like graphic modesetting, so we included the inclusion in your kernel so you can set modes while you include.

Sorry - "include the inclusion" just screamed out for this.
