the right used the fear of terrorism to take away a lot of freedoms...Chuckle.
The Patriot Act was written by lefties, including Joe Biden, and passed into law by a left-wing Congress. But don't let reality intrude on your fantasy.
Take a look at where CCTV is mostly deployed, e.g. Great Britain, and what you find are left-wing control freaks.
One of the more entertaining features of Slashdot is the self-delusional lefties who blame anything they don't like, even perfectly typical lefty behaviour, on "right wing..."
It's modern urban liberals that are the first to insist that the government "do something" whenever reality bites. Modern liberal governments are only too happy to oblige. Ubiquitous CCTV is "doing something."
Why do you think it's someone else's responsibility? If you think there's a business in being a linux vendor, start one. Put your money where your whining mouth is.
Actually, you have the "jog wheel". All voice mail systems have keyboard controls to speed up and slow down message presentation. I can't speak for the all, but on the Bell system, compression is really good. RTFM.
By his own admission, Farhad's problem is that he hangs out with idiots who leave useless messages. He needs to educate the idiots and get his traffic down to what's useful.
Leaving a message involves some extra effort and time. If someone is willing to leave a message, it's important to them, so it's important to me.
Communication channels don't go away. Some technologies get modified: scrolls become books and telegraph becomes SMS, but the essence stays. Voice mail is here to stay because there will always be those of us who enjoy a rich medium that winky faces can't match.
I have one of those; still have the Rollei too. It wasn't all that useful except as a flash holder. The value of the Rollei comes from shooting from the waist, where the pistol grip is useless.
On the other hand, shooting chest-height with a standard two-handed pistol grip on the pistol grip and with elbows tucked against my chest made a really stable platform.
I hadn't considered using it with the digital, where it could give you a solid hold while using the view screen. Something to try.
It looks like Microsoft has learned from its IE experience. Instead of chasing an "anything but Microsoft" standard put together by a community that's actively hostile to Microsoft, they've decided to wait them out. Microsoft is refusing to give them a target and telling them to get off the pot.
What Microsoft has done should speed up the ODF standards process. We should thank them for that.
What you are missing is that Android is "linux-based", not linux and it's on a new chip; either of these mean apps have to be ported.
On the other hand, thanks to their population, the Chinese have more super-programmers than America has programmers. We should see the apps coming at a high rate of knots.
I'm not American, but if I were, I'd remember that Biden wrote the first draft of the Patriot Act. So when he talks about criminals and enforcement I wouldn't guess that he's thinking about anything "progressive".
Which phase? For the pencil and paper phase I like it sunny and warm. I did some of my best noodling on the beach in Santa Monica and on the patio of an outdoor bar whose name I've forgotten overlooking Manhattan Beach.
For the coding and proving phase I'll go for anything that approximates a cave, where all I can hear is the fans and the voices in my head, and no one ever comes to visit.
Pay attention to the source before going off the deep end:
IT departments are not cutting their spending to zero, Ramji claimed. Instead, they are focusing on strategic projects and cutting completely those they deem to be non-critical. That's why Microsoft is advising open-source partners with whom the company is collaborating not to focus their customer pitches on costs, but instead to lead their sales pitches with "value," he said.
The message is for Microsoft's open-source allies, not RedHat. Ramji is suggesting that they fish where the fish are. It's good advice.
Been there. Not a single alternative. Most of them are shouting fonts, none of them are legible at 6pt. Komika and Lilly aren't bad, but they are almost formal.
Lilly's also interesting because it's close to DelSans, a bit mapped font I designed many years ago to look good on a 240dpi printer. Too bad he didn't finish the job; it looks like crap below 14pt.
Slashdot Mirror
To everyone but the Welsh and the Scots--yes.
But it isn't their money, now, is it?

They're known as "the British".

Wow! a glibc BSOD?
The responses to this post make a couple of things clear:
This setup is used by wildlife photographers. A couple of seconds and a friend with a three-digit IQ is all you need to figure out why.

You really should post that kind of stuff anonymously.
Nassim Taleb repeatedly predicted these events and made a fortune putting his money where his mouth was.

I just updated a little-used laptop with about three months' worth of patches and upgrades, including IE8.
The default browser is still firefox. Obviously, there's something wrong with my configuration.
It's called a Nokia N800

you mean "neo-libs", don't you?
A child's toy. A 20mm Lahti would make more sense. It's a joy to shoot and can easily hole a boat below the water line.
progressive politics that Obama and Biden embody

Key-value pair DBs are perfect for R and perl, which enhances your ability to use the data for other purposes. SQL isn't your only tool.

The point is that there's no "ban Chalkboard" movement.
