Here's an interesting line of thought that just struck me. Obviously, from what we're seeing here, putting a "black" person and a "white" person together is obvious racism. So we have to separate them! Then we have "Seperate but equal".
Oh wait... I think we tried that already and it didn't work...
Whenever commercials come on TV, I SWITCH TO ANOTHER CHANNEL without commercials.
I bet next they'll try to disable the chan up/down buttons, the mute button, and the power button during commercials. Then they'll try to mandate all chairs have restraints that are activated right before commercials come on. Ooh, and little things to hold open your eyelids and ears...
What do you think about this latest in a long line of PSP ads of questionable taste?
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Now my question is, these people see that ad as offensive, they are seeing a difference in skin color, and they are making a fuss as if it counts for more than just skin color. That in itself sounds like racism to me...
Tim makes some good points as well that I agree with.
I think the backlash from racism in America is doing more harm than good. I don't believe equality means compensate those who never felt oppression until our guilt is satiated.
You might go "What! But we did them so much harm, we can't just ignore what we did! What's wrong with repaying them?" Well we can't, because those who've been under said oppression are gone. We missed our chance.
Those are just my 2 cents, largely from a revelation when I was looking up scholarships online and saw so many minority scholarships that I could not quality for ON THE BASIS OF MY GENDER OR ETHNICITY OR RELIGION. That sounded alot like racism to me. Granted, maybe some of those went to kids who deserved them. But maybe some went to kids who wasted them partying while I'll be stuck next year with a BS in CS (which devalues in my eyes more and more as I get closer to it) and lots of thousands of dollars in debt.
You can always code a program that does the following:
Records from Stereo Mix (aka What You Hear) to capture the audio of the movie, mutes all channels that don't contain said audio.
Monitors the window of the media player to capture each frame. Might also set the process priorities of itseld and the media player high to prevent frame skipping.
Of course, this is the most extreme way you'd un-DRM video. More likely you'd be able to convert it SOMEHOW, or crack the DRM on it with some tool. If it uses standard codecs you could even reencode it with ease.
It's a plugin for Word, it's not a separate conversion utility as the article implies.
It can't handle manual page breaks it seems. Once I get OpenOffice.org on here to verify, I'm submitting their first bug report.:)
The default install directory seems to indicate this is a third-party tool, not an MS tool.
It doesn't add file types to the default Open/Save dialogs (the ideal solution). Instead, you import and export the files with their own dialogs. This also means hitting File/Save when you have an ODF file open will open up a save as dialog fro DOCX only.
It only has somewhere between 100-200 titles... closer to 100. I can't even tell how many exactly, because their search tool is broken (can't go beyond the first page).
Search for an empty string (like I did) and it dumps the entire list.
Also their idea of web design leaves much to be desired. Who the hell stuck that black and gray logo on a white and off-white page? If they changed one to match the other it would look much better.
When everyone was going berzerk over the countdown, I was all like "It's going to be something dull, it's got to be, nothing with this much hype can be exciting." And I was right!
Actually, the rootkit itself would serve as the host OS and the virtualization software as one.
This is not as much work as it may seem, because most functionality could simply be "leaked through" from the physical machine to the virtual one. The only functionality that the rootkit would fake would be stuff it used, such as the hard drive (to hide it's files, for example) and then whatever else it does (for example, it might have it's own network connection to a remote server, and then it would have to make it look like, to the guest OS, that there is no such connection).
I had the toughest time installing OOo 2.0.3 today. If you're upgrading from 2.0.x, be prepared for a rough ride if you deleted the "OpenOffice 2.0 Installation Files" folder since you last installed it. OOo's installer is horribly complex and broken... specifically the UNINSTALLER.
Ok so I go to install 2.0.3. I launch the meta installer, which is coded in NSIS, which makes excellent uninstallers (but OOo doesn't use that functionality). So the meta installer installs the installer just fine, and sticks it on the desktop where it creates a useless folder icon that irks me.
Then the actual InstallShield installer launches, and I set my options for install and hit install. Then it tells me the MSI file... you know, the one that's CURRENTLY BEING INSTALLED FROM... isn't a real MSI file. I eventually figure out this is the uninstaller for 2.0.2 complaining that the MSI file, which it expects to be from 2.0.2 because it was on my desktop when I installed 2.0.2, is actually 2.0.3. I have to hit cancel on the "Browse for MSI file" dialog. Then the 2.0.3 installer complains it couldn't uninstall 2.0.2 and aborts.
SO WRITE OVER IT, it's a 0.0.1 upgrade, I write over older installs of stuff all the time, ignoring warning dialogs, and stuff works fine. And if it doesn't I wipe the file folder and install again, and that time it works fine.
But of course the installer insists, so I go and uninstall OOo 2.0.2. Except I get the SAME ERROR and the UNINSTALLER FAILS. How can an UNINSTALLER FAIL.
Here is a good time to refer to my previous statement of how well NSIS makes uninstallers for you, and how the OOo team failed to utilize that.
So then I go to rip out my old install by hand. I delete the uninstall key (that puts the entry in Add/Remove Programs) and I delete the HKLM\Software\OpenOffice.org key (where I imagined, wrongly, that all the OpenOffice.org info was stored in). The 2.0.3 installer loses track of WHERE my installation of 2.0.2 is, but it still knows that I have one, and tries (and fails) to uninstall it. Then I go and delete my OOo program files. The installer STILL refuses to work.
At this point, I had a system where OOo was not installed, and where OOo would refuse to install! Basically, an OOo-proof system where MS Office would be king! The average user would be helpless!
Fortunately, I am not the average user. Back into regedit, and I rip out every reference to OpenOffice I can find. FINALLY the installer works, and at the end of the installation... I delete the installer files. I'm not letting Sun push me around any more than Microsoft. OOo works fine without them (actually, I think 2.0.1 or 2.0.0 needed the installer files even after the install finished, the first time it launched, so I might need to download and install the meta-installer to install the installer again. Oh well.)
For those of you who scrolled down just to get my main point: The OOo devs NEED to scrap their existing installer and just code it in pure NSIS. It would improve it immensely.
And for the record, I love OOo, I have Office 2k7 beta on here as well and I'll probably still use OOo for all my papers and such.
for example 'simply showing a user's history information ("you've been to this website many times" or "you've never submitted this form before") can significantly increase a user's ability to detect a spoofed website and reduce their vulnerability to phishing attacks.
Hey, this is a really really good idea. Microsoft, Opera Team, and Mozilla should take note!
"Visitors" or "customers"? There is a distinct difference, mainly the latter pays money to the business for some coffee and gets the internet perks along with it.
Hardware accellerated desktop, display drivers that can restart themselves if they crash, less reboots to install new drivers, multiple hardware accellerated windows, virtual memory for video cards.
Obviously those are all features intended to overshadow the main new feature... DRM!
Sorry... sarcasm doesn't translate well over the internet...
Agreed. As far as I know, most underground lines have spots at regular intervals above ground where you can measure current/pressure/whatever. Helps you pin down exactly which section is leaking/broken/whatever.
Really? Could you perhaps offer a link with details? I've never heard this before. Unless you're referring to the slashdot story on the breaking of MD5 with included sample code.
BTW, I don't know what services FreeNode uses, but Anope is the most popular so I thought I'd point out the fact it hashes passwords.

...noone was hurt, fortunately. Somehow she managed to keep her license too. Her car was totaled, as you could imagine.
This reminds me of a story I heard about an elderly lady.
Now she swears she was on her brakes the whole time.
While in a parking lot, she managed to go THROUGH A WALL of a movie theatre and went in far enough to demolish a few seats.
Closest her relatives could figure, she paniced and accidentally floored the GAS instead of the brake, and hit the wall at about 30MPH.
Sorry to go off on a tangent, what were you saying now?
