I must disagree. A 20% error rate rarely completely changes the meaning of a particular sentence or article.
I can use automatic translation to read foreign web sites. I notice when the translation is weird and most probably wrong, but still I more or or less understand what is being discussed. How on earth can that be worse than absolutely nothing?
Well, if you prefer to listen to whole albums, like the artist hopefully had in mind, then you don't need playlists.
I personally use the tiny folder-player 1by1 for this.
I updated parts of our production to make it Java 7 ready earlier this year. Then came Java 7u21 in April that started to break things with its changes to security. We could to use slightly older versions, but Java -really- wants us to update to the most recent version.
All in all, Java isn't very enterprise friendly for us. We have some systems that rely on applets and browser plugins working correctly, there is no way around that.
As far as I see it, for security reasons we would like to block applets by default, but we would also like to be able to white-list a specific set of servers from which applets are accepted. Any solution for this? We mostly use IE.
I'm all for this change. Currently upon installation you are given the choice of whether you want to activate the filters; in effect this change just means that you would also be able to choose "yes, but only for horrible ads". It might make those who create ads think about in which category they want to be.
I love ADP, but personally I never use the built-in filters. I just create custom-filters for really annoying ads on the sites I frequent. My experience is that I don't need that many rules to make browsing tolerable.
I mean why choose BASIC?.. I loved my ZX Spectrum and the old BBC Micro, but in retrospect this was in spite of BASIC, not because of it. Nobody knew any better then.
They do say "basic-derived language". But otherwise I agree, a small and more modern language would have been a better match. Lua comes to mind.
Collections of active IP addresses will be readily available tomorrow, just as rainbow tables and collections of active email addresses are today.
The saving grace will probably be the sheer size of the address pool in a local network. Unless you sniff the traffic (or look at DNS or ARP), knowledge of active IP addresses is hard to come by via scanning. Scanning a 2^64 range for active hosts will take a few years, which will slow down any worms that attempt to spread in that manner.
The practical reason for using ascii only is interoperability between tools that deal with the source (humans with keyboards being one of the tools).
That said, I have experimented a couple of times with national non-ascii variable names, and I think that such programs are actually easier to read and more fun to write.
In particular when the problem domain is highly national it often is counter-productive to try to invent english names for variables, since these names would not be the ones used by the customer or related documentation.
So my programs use ascii for variable names (obvioulsy) but often in a mix of english and my own language, the ratio somewhat depending on the problem. Even standard english actions such as get/set/create... might be followed be national words.
Wikileaks supposedly has access to loads of US classified information. Its primary spokesman may have to flee to Iceland.
Iceland votes "yes" on proposed news haven.
In other news, yesterday US sent
official greetings
because of the national day June 17th, reminding Icelanders about good old times and promising friendship and support during the current financial crisis.
(text Icelandic only, but there's a Hillary video)
Since we're being pedantic, Eyja*fjöll* is the mountain (welcome to Icelandic). That said, the friendly natives as well speak of the cloud coming from the glacier/jökull.
In my experience, you need dozens of hours of practice before you get it. Buy an algebra textbook, and do every odd problem in every section until you are reliably getting everything right. My experience = flunked high school math and went back to college 10 years later....
Precisely my experience too. Being ten years wiser and more motivated made all the difference in the world.
Do -not- just read about the stuff, practice! Make errors, figure out what you did wrong, do it over again. And again. Though this may sound terrible now, finally getting the hang of these things will actually feel nice.
I also found it useful to make my own quick references (cheatsheets). The formulas stick better when written down by yourself. It's a bonus if you are allowed to use them on the exam, but if you really practice a lot you won't need them anyway.
... Change the way file sizes are read so that User X and User Y see different file sizes using the same filesystem, even potentially the same remotely mounted disk?
Honestly I don't see your problem. When working with files and drives, approximate sizes usually suffice. Give or take 10%, it rarely matters.
Now, if I really need to compare sizes, I use the single bytes. And if the numbers are big, SI prefixes *just work* unambiguously.
Assuming Iceland would pass such laws on a national level and become the safe haven envisioned.
In cases where countries or organizations felt affected, they _would_ try to strong-arm Iceland to yield.
I don't think that a small country would be able to stand up against much pressure from the outside. At the moment Iceland needs all the political friends it can get, and this move is not necessarily a step in that direction.
Specifically the article suggests that the mediterrean was blocked between 5.6m to 5.3m years ago. During these 300.000 years the sea evaporated (totally?)

Fast: Shooting range, rifle.
Those easter eggs are the main reason why Trekkies would even buy the HD versions...
The easter eggs will be in the Special Edition that will be released a year later.

Fractions would have been more readable. As in slightly more than 6 / 20736 inches.
Seems like it might be useful for finding downed aircrafts and other missing objects....maybe even people?
It might ... maybe.

tortious: "having the nature of or involving a tort; wrongful"
I should have looked up "tort" as well, but I'm not in a recursive mood today.

I'm still optimistic that somebody will create a convenient markup/programming language for diagrams.
Graphviz ?
And while you get accustomed to it, you can use this friendly calculator in the meantime.
Surely such a French car would use SI mileage, roughly 0.000264 litres per kilometer (friendly google calculator)

LOL! A soap opera-ish blog from the trenches. Rivarly, cm vs inches and more.
