Apparently reading does not mean comprehension so I can't suggest the same to you. The endorsement is not of THOMAS, but of Washington Watch. In that endorsement THOMAS is used in a negative way, but this should all be clear as the part of the sentence you left off says:
For Raymond, the issue here is that Harper was critical of the Library's own work in a way which endorsed his own; as Raymond puts it,...[your quote] sigh
Mod parent up!
I am in the unfortunate circumstance of having a very large house compared to the surrounding neighbors and it is quite visible in Google Earth. The consequences of having my wealthy home visible from space are quite horrific, over the past year my home has been the target of thieves on multiple occasions. I contacted the Police department and they informed me that by using Google Earth it is easy for thieves to see that approaching from the rear of the property, where it is very wooded and concealed, is the best route. Now after I heard that I was quite shocked. Why would any resposible company make it easier for evil doers to commit a crime? I informed the Google corporation almost immediately but they refused to remove the images of my home and chose to endanger the lives of my family. The Google Corporation claims that they are not responsible and perhaps I should invest in a security system, but I continue to refute that in the 9months prior to Google Earth's release my home was never burglarized yet after I have been a victim 4 times. I can only imagine what sinister deeds those that pray on responsible citizens as us are planning. With this new technology the scum of the world can spy on my family, they can see the bus stop where my daughter waits every morning for school! First the prey on my possesions now this is a direct attack on my children!
I always hear this lecture about colonizing to preserve the human race. They bring up the usual asteroid destroying the earth and such, but I've never heard a reason for why the it is necessary to preserve humans. Last time I checked the universe does fine without our input.
Umm... this is a slightly different scale of power generation. Those ships and submarines which are nuclear powered have really small reactors. The power (and more importantly pressure) generated in a small Navy sub reactor is "small" compared to this beast. We're talking about TWO full scale reactors on a barge.
Are you sure about that? The Popsci article states that the plant would be run by two 60 megawatt reactors that are currently used in Russian icebreakers so 1/2 wouldn't really be considered small. Also the USS George H. W. Bush recently launched is powered by 2 reactors which are supposed to be triple the power of the 8 reactors on the USS Enterprise.
XP is a huge pain to use without admin rights due to braindead apps
I'm not sure if that is all that true anymore at least. Granted I don't run a vast amount of software but in my experience it seems more recent software tends to be non brain dead at least in the gaming industry. What was once one of the worst offenders, nearly everything used to write to the program files dir but now all the ones I have had experience with write to the user space. Every other program I run allows a choice of where to save data so they work perfectly as well. However, like I said I don't have every software title at my disposal and really it could just be luck in the programs I run.
Aaron Margosis does an excellent job of providing all the information needed to run as non-admin on his blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/aaron_margosis/archive/2005/ 04/18/TableOfContents.aspx
Well I would disagree with what seems to be the majority of comments that this is a bad thing in concept. However I do think they took it too far, mandating virtually anything usually is not the best solution. Rather the building/community would be better served by a proactive offering of assistance. Say one had an open access point, the management realize and offer their assistance to the owner to secure it if they would like. No mandatory anything, but still informing the owner of something he may not know about. Heck even some entrepreneurs could solicit their services for this. The one thing I dislike is the lack of education that is aimed for those who don't have the time to devote to computers. We just call them stupid as if they are supposed to be born with such knowledge.
An accelerometer, smoke detector, voltage meter, temperature gauge, and water sensor can detect a crash or other failures and shut the batteries down to prevent fire or explosion
They don't even mention IE's open search which can allow you to add a site's search engine from that site, the search option will change color when on a page that has it. You can then just select it from the drop down, and even add it permanently if you like. Of course it sounded like they just picked up both Firefox and IE and never used them before.
Picture Example:

According to the actual motion filed against the companies
(1) the Mechanical Editing Parties' copies of Edited Motion Pictures are non-transformative (i.e. they serve as a direct market substitute rather than adding new epression, meaning or message), and their exploitation of such Edited Motion Pictures is strictly a "for-profit" commercial endeavor, (2) the Studios' copyrighted Motion Pictures are highly creative and fictional expression entitled to the highest protection, as opposed to works of a factual nature; (3) the Mechanical Editing Parties copy and incorporate virtially the enitety of each Motion Picture in each Edited Motion Picture; and (4) the Mechanical Editing Parties' Edited Motion Pictures harm the actual and potential markets for the Studies' motion pictures, and compete directly with the Studios' own authorized edited motion pictures created for cable, network, and syndicated television, and airline distribution.
It seems reading the article isn't enough anymore as the articles rarely have any form of information. You can view the entire 47 page motion and CleanFilms' response on the CleanFilms website. http://www.cleanfilms.com/legal.phtml
Todays/yesterdays launch (the scheduled on on the 1st of July) was postponed at T-9minutes after a 40 minute scheduled hold (if it's scheduled, why didn't they add it into the count down?)
Well from what I understand the T-9 minutes hold is scheduled but the duration is not scheduled. The official countdown clock seems to try to account for the several scheduled holds as it currently reads over 9 hours to launch while it is scheduled for around 3:30 EDT about 15 hours from now. Maybe someone who actually knows for sure can comment but that is my deduction.
Devil Dogs are crap, if you want real snack food you have to try Tastykake. They are responsible for making Philadelphia the fattest city till a few years ago, well that than and Geno's. Everyone in their life should have the pleasure of having a Peanut Butter Kandy Kake and a Butterscotch Krimpet.
Well there are plenty of legal ways to preview a song, such as the radio but seeing as you can't really pick which song to hear it's a bit hard and non pop music is harder to find. Your friend could also tell you "hey, go check out blahblah on itunes(or whatever music store even most brick and mortar stores you can listen to an album first.), as you can listen to 30sec clips of the song. You could also go over to your friend's house to listen to the album and see if you like it. There are plenty of legal ways of previewing or getting reviews of music before you buy that it doesn't justify stealing.
It is a bit harder with movies or games as allot of people only watch/play it once, unlike music which you listen to repeatedly usually. They also can't give away the ending or the surprise as obviously then it wouldn't be a surprise. So you go into a movie with only what someone else has said about the movie and you may not like it at all. With most games and other software there are demos you can try that are either limited function or limited duration if not both.
If there were stiffer and/or actual enforceable penalties for pirating the only complaint by many would be money as many of us are dirt poor and hell we like free stuff. For music/games there isn't really a reason other than money that they are pirated, movies however people are questioning the content and they like free stuff. Why would you pay for something you don't like which seems like the real problem with the movie industry you have no idea what you are getting except from the words of others.
Well in this case the head of the NNSA knew about the breach and didn't notify anyone of said breach which is negligence. The majority of the time they are guilty of negligence, either they knew something and did nothing or they didn't know something they should. As the head of a corporation or department you are responsible for the entire operation not just signing papers although very few do more than that.
Slashdot Mirror
Good point, but then again, this is slashdot and you never know how many people actually live in their closet.
Untie her and open the closet and THEN see what happens.

That yellow bar is part of the control box, it has several switches and what looks to be a display screen. The yellow just make it look cool.
Good try, but it seems a few of them beat you to it. I'm sure it won't be the last of them either.

Wow, Insightful haha. Maybe that is part of the joke considering the post itself was plain stupid but I just couldn't help myself.
Pssh that wasn't even real!

It's only logically, they both go around trying to force their beliefs on everyone else and RMS does resemble Jesus in that unwashed crazy way.
Well I am fond of the Iranian design myself. Thats the real reason Bush wants to invade Iran

Is this going to be the new thing? Are you that desperate for money to inculde advertising for a summary that consists of 2 sentences?
First open source cream cheese and now open source mascarpone! Thank the OSS god's!
What if that option is grayed out?
