For women, who simply can't avoid working with men, or dating or being social with men; to be in constant fear of assault is also frightening and discomfitting.
This reminds me of a quote from The Gift of Fear (paraphrasing): "Women and men fear fundamentally different things in relating to the opposite sex. Men fear that women will embarrass them. Women fear that men will kill them."
Well... no more copying than usual, anyway. You still have to download it. And store it either in your computer's memory or its hard drive. How come I can do that, but I can't post a link on my website so others can do it, too?
And, to echo many others, how come they haven't gone after Google and any other search engine that caches pages?
Don't DVD movies force you to watch things at the beginning?
Some do. This is, as others have pointed out, a legitimate technological solution. As the other replies to your question show, it also pisses off users.
It's more like a "time-limited career", that implies the need for more than one career over the course of a lifetime.
And the limit goes down as your intelligence goes up. That is, if you program because
you enjoy challenges or enjoy solving problems, there will come a time where you've already solved most of the problems you run into. The higher your intelligence, the sooner this will occur. I think at that point you should not quit programming, but start programming in a different industry, at which point you will start running into brand new problems, and start enjoying yourself again.
If you get really bored, pull a Paul Graham and start your own business. You won't have time to get bored.:)

Your[sic] so a microsoft goon... The only proof I need is to hear you say "SQL" and pronounce it "Sequel."
Huh? I have Linux on four different machines, sneer at M$ just like any other good slashdaughter;) , and I pronounce "SQL" as "sequel". Googling for "sql sequel" shows that lots of people pun on "sql" => "sequel". Why do you have a problem with this?

They bought a domain name specifically to publish (or help publish) the findings in their article. The site had 3 pages on it (depending on how you count) -- the home page, an example page, and links to the article itself in two different formats. In their article, they say "For more information, see http://modelingtheweb.com", so maybe they plan to publish more as time goes on, or add links to other folks modeling the web, or even host such articles directly... but maybe not.
I wonder if this foreshadows a coming trend -- write an article, publish it in a print journal, and get a domain for it. Somehow this makes me sad. "We can't just publish an article and put it online, we have to get a top level domain for it." *sigh*
This bill would seriously curtail the ability to have surveillance cameras on one's property to catch trespassers and vandals in the act.
How? From the article:
[the bill] would make it illegal to film someone for a "lewd or lascivious purpose" without that person's consent.
Does video-taping someone violate your car count as "lewd"? (How about your cdr? (Sorry, Lisp joke.:))
Tangentially, would this law outlaw replacing the peep-hole in your door with a wireless X10 camera? Could someone seriously argue that they have an expectation of privacy while knocking on your front door?
That's a pay service costing US$20 per year. ...
I think a free service is what is wanted by the original poster!
If you're right, all I can say is, heaven forbid the poor bastard should actually be willing to pay $1.67 a month for a service he might actually use and not even have to maintain or upgrade himself. That would be horrible.
Disclaimer: I work for Gandalf Development, developers of Estrada, though not in the Estrada division
I don't have lots of (read: any) experience using Estrada, but they tell me it's good at, among other things, Section 508b compliance. See http://www.estrada-onstage.com.
Why not? I've seen both in common usage, and prefer the comma there. My college english teacher taught me to put a comma between items in a list of items, including before the "and". Commnet.edu agrees with this usage:
Use a comma to separate the elements in a series (three or more things), including the last two. "He hit the ball, dropped the bat,
and ran to first base." You may have learned that the comma before the "and" is unnecessary, which is fine if you're in control of things. However, there are situations when, if you don't use this comma (especially when the list is complex or lengthy), these last two items in the list will try to glom together (like macaroni and cheese). Using a comma between all the items in a series, including the last two, avoids this problem.
I'm not familiar with that episode (or that many others, really). Anyway -- does she say "sin" or "sine"? I think it's funny either way, but written down, it works even better.
that subplot had me sorely tempted to add a bug to the software such that it would occasionally inject "fnord" into the text being entered or edited
I did something like that. Worked on a small project called ATS for GTE circa 1991. Deep into the program, if you pressed (I think) Alt-F8 ten times in a row, it'd translate your keystream into "What are you doing, Dave?". If you exited and re-entered that screen, it'd change it back to the original ten Alt-F8's.
Unfortunately, I did this the day before I left, and they (well, the guy taking over the code from me) caught it in a diff of the previous version, and took it out. (He didn't understand what it did, mind you, but he took it out.:)
I told the project leader about it several months later. He laughed a lot and said they should have left it in.
More recently, I've worked on a project to format the output of MS hfnetchk ("Hot Fix Net Check"), and asked my boss (in e-mail) if he'd mind if I auto-munged "Internet Explorer" to "Internet Exploder". He didn't reply.:)
If you have stated, definable, measureable goals, objectives, or output, it doesn't matter what you (or they) think. If you have a higher level of output, you get more. If s/he has a higher level, s/he gets more. If you have more experience and do less anyway, guess what? You get less. Or, perhaps, you should renegotiate the measurements.:) But the other guy can play that card, too.
Yet Another/adj./
[From Unix's yacc(1), `Yet Another Compiler-Compiler', a LALR parser generator] 1. Of your own work: A humorous allusion often used in titles to acknowledge that the topic is not original, though the content is. As in `Yet Another AI Group' or `Yet Another Simulated Annealing Algorithm'. 2. Of others' work: Describes something of which there are already far too many. See also YA-, YABA, YAUN.
I think I kinda have to side with PD here, Tom. If I told you how to behave, because I said so, and for no other reason, you'd laugh at me. Saying "God said it, I'll follow it" doesn't make any more logical sense than saying "The Bhagwan said it, I'll follow it." It relies on your a priori belief in the perfection of God. As long as you believe in the perfection of God, you needn't worry about what God tells you to do. When/if that faith starts to crumble (or, in the case of many people, especially many slashdotters, it never existed), then you worry (assuming you give the issue any thought at all:).
I think the critical part of your post lies in this quote:
We can be thankful that a perfect and holy God [...]
A casual reader of the Old Testement can easily get the impression that God doesn't follow his own rules, and see God as evil and capricious, (and here's the irony) based on the moral code descended in large part from that very tome.
An interesting idea. I must admit, I don't follow part of it:
Upon death, of course, the human no longer has any human rights. And since he has no right to it anymore, so he cannot distribute things with a will; he could only distribute the property while he was alive.
So you give all your stuff away before you die, yes? How does this help? Aside from penalizing people that either don't plan well, or don't die when they thought they would?

Section 3 also mentions: The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilationand installation of the executable.

So, not only do that have to release the unobfuscated code, but they have to release the scripts that obfuscated it. What fun!:)
By all means, yes, he's devout and actually cares about his children and what he puts in his mind! Burn him, burn him, he's a Christian!!

Knight: Who else cares about their children?
Mob:... Good parents?

Mob (thinking hard): So... even if he's a Christian, whom we hate, just on principle... he cares about his wife, and his children... so he's a good husband, and a good father...
Knight: And therefore?
Mob: We can't burn him?
Knight: Exactly!
Many years back, when I was with State Farm, I got a speeding ticket, in fact I got a couple. I called 'em and asked if my rates would go up. They said "Your rates will go up iff you make a claim against us." And you know what? My rates didn't go up.
Sadly, when I bought a house, they didn't want to sell me homeowners insurance, 'cause I live on the wrong side of I-75 in Florida. (I'm not making this up: I-75 was (is?) their dividing line for who's liable to get flattened by a hurricane and who's not.) So I took my ball and went home, or at least over to MetLife. And saved some $$, too.:)
Umm, which way? I can't even find a place to log in.
Besides, so what if they do start charging? If you like the service, and think it's worth the money, pay it. If you don't, don't. "If you don't like what's on TV, change the channel."
