You and others can call it censorship but in my mind always, it was about the loss of knowledge and of the beauty and magic of literature. Burning books and the imprisonment of those who have archived them and memorised them was how he expressed this. More than a subtle difference.
Police claim that they lost the contract. Also after deleting the illegal copies, they replaced it with pirated versions of another front end also by Micro Focus.
Exactly! All 16,000 illegal copies, installed and working. Then they deleted it and replaced it with another pirated front end from the same company. Word on the street is that they sourced it from the Bikies.
Is there any other way to explain Tony Abbot? Cowpat = Bullshit - Something must grow in it. You are what you eat? The source of fungal infection for Ms Gillard? Any other suggestions?
I can't see Labour losing the next election or Liberals winning it as the Lib party leader is a mushroom growing in a cow pat. Now if Malcom Turnbull leads the party, then there may be a chance.
1. Ring the operator. 2. Tell her that you'll be using a modem for the next hour and please do not listen in or cut the connection. 3. Dial the BBS number 4. Logon, get the news, send msgs, play the game(s), log off and disconnect. 5. Hang up the modem. Now do this for around 300 days per year and you'll be paying around $3000 in 1985 money for call charges because all BBS's were long distance.
When you find a great article, you want to share that knowledge with people who will find it interesting
And if you do, just cut/paste the url and send it. There are a heap of ways doing this and most don't require me to convince my friends to join FB or G+ or other crap, bullshit sites. What I really don't like about the way social media/networking sites are going is that they force you to do things the way they want you to. Often that is just inconvenient and loses the personal link you have with your friends. It's much more friendly sending an email or link than 'sharing it' with a myriad of batshit crazies or circles or whatever epithet some moronic social designer has made up. It's just bullshit. Nothing more. And we as trendsetting individuals are supposed to follow the latest gimmick, get all edukated about it and be one with the in-crowd. Why? WTF? Sure there's a place for it, but the shear drain on logging in and posting inane crap is just too much and too boring, wasted time and energy for nought. FB and G+ only exists in my world for project status updates and contact details, nothing more.
Well said. Face-to-Face time is infinitely important than wasting precious time emailing (and chasing up ever changing contact details) work the kids already have! Wether you know this or not, the amount of preparation before any lesson and evaluation of the lesson and the child takes a lot of time and effort. Last count there were more than 40 subject areas where this applies in primary school grades, let alone evaluating termly outcomes, staff meetings, morning rush at a photocopier, supervision, state and national testing - it goes on and on. Now if the school administration is happy to take on the OP's suggested additional workload, then fine.
The number of organisms that ever lived is as close to infinity as the amount of protons in the cosmos. No where near to infinite at all.
Therefore finite. And if we assume that all carbon based life forms variates by DNA, and if computer modelling can show each variation, then we will have a full blown 3D picture of each possible form. Not only that, we can also see how each form develops over time, life expectancy, illness and how environmental conditions affect it. The long term goal is to prove that DNA is not Earth-centric, but universal in carbon based life. That means that we will be able to examine our alien friends even before we meet them!
Agree with XP backup. It is hopeless and wastes HD space. Son and daughter have lost all their files because they don't back up. They're learning though! Otherwise, I use Cobian http://www.cobiansoft.com/ which is a nice, cheap (free) solution with networking and ftp as well as your standard usb and internal drives. Recommended.
LTO-5 Drives are $2000-$3000. Even though the tapes are comparatively cheap, you're still stuck with rubber bands driving a flywheel turning the spools. And if you are waiting for cheap Chinese knock-offs... well good luck with that. I'm not convinced that consumer's are going to be that good at keeping the tapes safe, magnetic free and away from the cat/dog/monkey peeing on it.
Yes, but in a few short years, that digital broadcasting box you will get via the cable guy will come with a remote with enough DRM in it to make this a reality. Either you subscribe or you don't. I think many will reject the package.
Actually looks like the result of a macro assembler module. The MOV functions gives it away. The only reason for doing that is to make it faster or to reduce the code size, not necessarily to obfuscate. The programmer is old school.
Sort of. Don't confuse CD with DVD. Both are optical disk technologies and were always digital. Laserdiscs were termed analog, even though they were encoded using pits like digital encoding. According to my Tech teacher around 2000, there were 2 names for the DVD acronym which had never been settled. DVD=Digital Versatile Disc (older) DVD=Digital Video Disc (newer)
I think it was Viatel? in Australia. I think I still have one of the magazines they sent out monthly. Didn't use it that much as there was lots of BBS around.

Who the fuck gave anyone else the right to dictacte how efficient my lightbulbs are? Keep your useless feel-good regulaitons to yourself.

You choose to waste power and water because you think it's your freedom to do so? That's your reason?
That was Love Shack. The meme is definitely Rock Lobster.
Sorry... it was almost obligatory.
Don't forget the TI 16. Also all those Z80 processor based machines. Remember CP/M?
You're right. I think I'll just cut my throat now.....

Really? What is so great about 60? At least 59 is a prime number...
Not really. If you add them together you get 14, which isn't.

Carved in stone, like the Egyptians did.
Oh please don't forget the Guinea, 10 bob note, Six Pence, Thruppence. Tuppence, Half-pennies and Farthings.

There is a little check box in the options somewhere to stop nagging for updates. Trying to keep FF 9 because of addon compatibility.
Yes, but in a few short years, that digital broadcasting box you will get via the cable guy will come with a remote with enough DRM in it to make this a reality. Either you subscribe or you don't. I think many will reject the package.
Well instead you could write 'and the rest' instead of 'et cetera' etc.
