Bring back the drive-in movie theater... BTW Are there any left ? I haven't seen one in years:-( They could really build some great venues with the latest technology.
I know those guys up north built the space arm and some drilling equipment that will be sent to mars in the near future, seems like those guys have a knack for tiny/specialised space projects.. hope they get a contract or two. Unfortunately they may be too politically tied in & stuck with our our crumbling space program:-(
but one of the biggest problems that I have with webpages are the font sizes. I've tried to configure the browsers that my mother & father use, their old eyes can't read many of the fonts people use in their webpages (supersmall & thin).. even with a 19 or 20" monitors, either I'm forced to lower the resolution to something ridiculous like 800x600 or run the regular res (1280x1024 or better) but have "minimum font size" set at 18 or 20 in firefox... That's a problem because fonts that large with a fixed minimum size cause the text in many webpages to overlap one another:( (espn.com, prisonplanet.com, etc even some of those zengarden pages suffer from this..)
These guys are always looking for ways to make money... how much risk would be involved in this endeavor ? That would be the first question they would ask, I would guess... Would Lloyd's involve themselves in a high-risk investment? If anything, this move shows how much faith they have in the GPL+all oss licences.... It's a good thing in my opinion... they could care less about how it benefits society, as long as they're making money from it.
"If you're making fun of that line, you've got to go a little further; the way you state it is exactly the way the serious supporters of surveillance state it."
Ya, I was just goofing around.. didn't think the mods would go so crazy about it:-)
If you've got nothing to hide then you shouldn't have any objection to select government agencies/individuals listening to your conversations. On the other hand, if you're a member of Al Queda, I could see why you might have a problem with this idea.

Uhm, Microsoft supplies their source to a number of partners & certain government agencies.. nobody is calling what they offer "Open Source" though. Maybe it should be called "Shared** Source" instead.. heh, sounds familiar right
They launch it again, from california, with a sling-shot (the engineers have their own name for this device, I forget what it is though.) It gets up a few hundred thousand feet... then it glides across the country, purring like a gentle kitten the whole way through to florida.
I was lucky enough to find 4 of the original keyboards at a garage sale last summer, the guy said they were garbage, so I asked if he'd sell em for $0.50/pc.. $2.00 in all:D I didn't realize they were so heavy.. work beautifully though:)
We can't sit back and let the terrorists win.. err wait, wtf am I talking about? Somehow this is a good thing.. yes.. maybe I should give the feds access to my webcams, this will make america safer:)
Otherwise nobody would have known the FBI was harvesting log files, or am I wrong about that? Hopefully all ISP's when faced with sneaky orders like this will do the same. Regardless, the damage has been done, the FBI has their log files.. it's really too bad about the victims of this witchhunt.
News stories mention these "al queda websites" all the time but I've never seen one, and the stories never mention the website address... anybody got links to these digital havens of terror?
why not just leave it as IE but change the version number something unique like IE, Blah blah, Version 6.969.. obviously that was never released by microsoft, so anybody looking for opera stats can find it in their server logs... or does changing the version number screw things up ?
Now that Rupert Murdoch owns it, what are users to expect ? Well, since Rupert is a member of the trilateral commission, council on foreign relations and travels to Bohemian Grove every summer (where he probably jacks off in a coffin, pleasing his owl master,) we should naturally expect Skype to be infiltrated with secret hooks/backdoors for the CIA/foreign intelligence services, or any close personal friends of this bastard.
CFL (canadian football, not futball/soccer) fields are quite a bit bigger than their american competitors... 65 yards wide vs 53... the endzones in the CFL are bigger too (20 yards..)
How about the middle east? It kind of reminds me of Ariel Sharon visiting the temple mount a few years ago... not long after the 2nd Intifada was in full swing. Will the Danes exhibit the same fervor over disputed lands? I sure hope not, Canada will be devastated.
That's because they don't save the image files, as far as I can tell. The images actually point back to the site that was archived through some sort of re-direct on the WBM site.
I don't think that's the case, I don't think it even tries to grab the images from the server. At least with my webpage, I just clicked on the Nov 17th, 2001 archive... it had all the old images that I've long since deleted... and the server logs show no hits/404's for those images...
Maybe that's not always how it operates though, *shrug*

"The ones who started the universities. Christians like Newton, Darwin and Galileo."
Well, Newton was a jew. Or should I phrase it this way so I'm not accused of using it as a pejorative, "Well, Newton was jewish."

"So no, it couldn't "eat" steel, but it might change it into something different. "
Well that's reassuring, so it will only transform my car into a pile of goo ?
Anybody have a torrent link ?

"I was already looking forward to hundreds of ill-informed posters asking "Why won't they just let it all burn up in the atmosphere?!?!?!"."
Explain to me why that's ill-informed ? Seems sensible to me.. attach a small disposable rocket to it, aim it at the earth and fire away..

what the hell does it mean though ?

Good thing it's not open source.

Also 3 downs & two 50 yard lines in the CFL...

would the size of the image file have anything to do with it ? Sheesh, I bet there's a simple faq on their website that answers this heh
That's because they don't save the image files, as far as I can tell. The images actually point back to the site that was archived through some sort of re-direct on the WBM site.
