Nope, this is just your usual dictatorship FUD; keep the population poor, afraid and ignorant. Since piracy can even be called anti-capitalistic one can imagine the Chinese government taking a very casual approach to the problem.
And yet, strangely, in France and Germany, ecologists want to revert to coal plants to prevent nuclear pollution.
Not sure about this, but it is definitely true for Sweden. They're even sneakier here, because the power is imported from Denmark, Poland and Russia, and our politicians cannot of course be held responsible for imported electricity. Hear no evil, see no evil.
Yep, 10.4 is teh stable OS. But it's surprising how often programs running on a 10.4 machine crash. I definitely have more program crashes (can be several per week) on my Powerbook than I've ever had on a machine running WinXP.
Well, I don't know how Brittish law operates, but this is a big problem in Stockholm, Sweden.
The city has just had a traffic toll system installed, similar to that in London. And because of that, number plate theft has increased dramatically.
Problem is, if your plates are stolen and you report the theft, you are still responsible for paying the toll fees whenever your plates are photographed at a toll point/node/place/whatever.
Unfortunately, this does not work for tangible objects. A very trivial example: Some ten years ago, I bought a newly patented orange peeler. It was just a piece of molded plastic, but it worked like a charm. But since a any kid could "reverse-engineer" it, you say it shouldn't be patentable?
I find that Arial and Verdana work just fine for 99.99% of all pages. Plus, thanks to M$, everybody have them.
One thing I love about Opera is that I can turn off CSS by the click of a button. I haven't found anything as easy to use in either IE, Firefox or Safari.
And yes, I'm serious about Arial being a good screen font.
You can get centimetre accuracy, millimetre even, if you measure your receiver against a fixed reference receiver. There are a few problems though:
Measurement is only as accurate as the accuracy of the positioning of the reference. That is, you get good precision for the distance between your receiver and the reference, but that doesn't help if the positioning of the reference is inexact.
You need much more computer power for extra calculations.
Existing systems are aimed at industry (construction, field measurements) and thus big and very expensive.
You're missing the point. Using CSS, you can send text to a phone without any formatting at all, since that's what phones accept (mine does that anyway). The CSS is used for formatting the same text in your web browser.
And don't forget printing. CSS works beautifully for formatting print output (or for sending plain unformatted text again, which is what I prefer).
Most wars throughout the history of man have been based on religion.
No, they have apparently been based on religion, and the people fighting the wars may have done so for religious beliefs. But behind every conflict there has always been and will be influental men making a heap of wealth.
Backpacker hostels in Australia are/could be ahead of the game. They saved plenty of water, because in the men's restrooms, noone flushed and noone certainly didn't wash their hands. Is it only filthy people who go backpacking?
No, serums are made from antibodies. A vaccine is basically a miniscule infection. To small to cause any harm, but large enough to induce antibody production.

I for one welcome our new--oh, wait, never mind.
On a serious note though, am I the only one sick of these "poster boys" who do nothing but produce hot air?

'nuff said.

How does this work in London?

Forgot to mention: The button also disables the <font> tag, which is a blessing sometimes.

Good thing slashdotters don't use IE then.

But if you want a page to render cross-platform (as in PDA, phone, etc) then unfortunately CSS is the only option.
Depends if you pronounciate it Sov-iet or Sov-i-et.
Line two can have either seven or eight syllables depending if you say hai-ku or ha-i-ku.
I can't help reading this as:
It's stupid, I know. I'll shut up now.
That's what Stalin did. And we all know how well that went.
Besides that the idea is preposterous in itself, there are two big problems:
Cutting edge blade servers?
Didn't someone say (and was commented in an earlier story):
or something like that?
Besides, now everybody on /. know who John Seigenthaler Sr. is!

As far as I know – and I admit that's sometimes not very far – Google has two sources of income:
Is this really enough to feed Google the MegaCorporation and all their wonderous projects, or am I missing something?
Doesn't Jack look a bit like Jon Stewart on the Daily Show? An elderly, grey-haired version.
