And with a Conservative(party) majority government in Canada now, you'll be free to come pillage our country, turn it into a wasteland for almost nothing. Enjoy.
When I see a news site requiring registration or subscription I just hit the back button. I don't think I've ever subscribe to any news site. There is just no point considering there will always be open news site (Always,Murdoch and al. can't do anything about this). If the first click is free then it might entice me to check out the site for more news and potentially sign up. It would need to be high quality news site to get me to sign up. NYT is probably one of about 5 newspapers that can even attempt such a model. My local paper became subscription only online. I use to check the site out every day. I haven't check it since the change.
"Pretty much anything that isn't canvas or video isn't implemented anywhere"
That statement is pretty inaccurate, many of the features in HTML5 are already available and things like WebGL will be available by year end (Firefox 4, Chrome 7). In fact, I'm already building software with WebGL which has actual users.
I guess you are probably right but I still think he doesn't get the cred he deserves as a genius programmer. Before the GPL he was single handedly reverse engineering all of Symbolics stuff as a way to screw them for taking code from MIT's mac project and close sourcing it. That code was written by teams of very good hackers. That + emacs + gcc == incredible code writing. Some of the best MIT Hackers still say they we impressed by how much code he was churning out during that time.
But they aren't choosing, Disney/ESPN is. Why should the ISP make you pay for something you might not even want. ESPN3 is very cool but my mom won't ever watch it. I'd pay money to get the service, but ESPN won't let me. Disney are being douchebags, the ISP are just not letting them fuck you over. I'm in support of the ISP in this case. If ESPN had their way, the phone company would have to pay to let you call ESPNs tech support. I'll say it again, if ESPN allowed me to pay to get the service I would.
It was a bastardized 3rd person shooter. You could use positioning and cover but it was awkward. You had 5 pets (bridge officers) who were supposed to help you out but they usually got stuck on some tree somewhere. The mobs would just all hit you and you had to figure out how to use your bridge officers as meat shield.
Had they tried something like a cheap version of a FPS it would have been great.
I had high hopes for STO. Sadly they botched the release (to early, 1 year would have given them time to fix a whole bunch of issues)
Thanks I didn't know where it was defined but I know it happens since many canadians have been able to get a transfer until bush took office. I know of one famous cases that has been blocked in the last 10 years. A murderer sentenced to death. The Canadian gov was asking to have spend life in prison in Canada. That was refused.
It should be, if not prison is wasting our time. If after 10 years someone gets out and hasn't at least been given some sort of rehabilitation then those 10 years were wasted. That person will have no chance to work and move on. I'm not saying jail should be an easy ride, but they should be working on getting these people to be able to get a life after jail.
So what you are saying is that the prison system is a failure. I agree with that. The idea of rehabilitate people isn't bad it's how the system attempts (well they don't even try) to do it that is the issue.
No no no, this is even better, it's a box to which you can add more processors to whenever you want. The only thing that will hold you back is the 90K per core software license to go with it.
Yup. nessus isn't magical, unless you instruct it to use the vulnerability and attack the host (no suggested) then you can never be certain the vulnerability exists.
Reading that article you linked, could it not be more a case against our computers architecture then against computers in general? Analogue computer have existed before, memory addressing can be changed...
School is just all stress. Stress is what causes most of those symptoms. Parents/Schools Admins don't give a shit because without school they wouldn't be able to do anything. keeping the kids away for 8 hours a day is a necessity for a smooth running society.

Exactly, now I just watch the news on TV, ignore the paper. After years of reading that paper I thought I'd miss it but not really.

Yeah but without it, I think GNU would have struggled in the 90s. Unix was dying, Linux injected some life.

GPL is cool but I think emacs was his greatest accomplishment. At least technical accomplishment.
Since when is the wireless world a free market?
Yup, I'm with you on that. I like ESPN3 but I'm totally ok with my ISP telling them to fuck off.

Well it's here (I use it for production work) but the spec is still in finalizing mode.
WebGL is on the way. I hope it wins out in the end. No difference in downloading a plugin (for unity) and upgrading your browser in most cases.

Well, I've seen deported people end up serving their sentence in their native country. Maybe that would be a better way to handle it.

what does an iframe bug have to do with graphics? Lynx could have the same issues.
Yup, Feynman pointed this out in a interview. The fact that you can pick up Russian radio is because the signal is always there.
