But can the average North Korean pay the price for the drug? Or will gullible/rich Americans pay to get a fake cure?

SourceForge, the code repository site owned by Slashdot Media, has apparently seized control of the account hosting GIMP for Windows on the service, according to e-mails and discussions amongst members of the GIMP community—locking out GIMP's lead Windows developer. And now anyone downloading the Windows version of the open source image editing tool from SourceForge gets the software wrapped in an installer replete with advertisements.
In cases where a project is no longer actively being maintained, SourceForge has in some cases established a mirror of releases that are hosted elsewhere. This was done for GIMP-Win.
Editor's note: Gimp is actively being maintained and the definition of "mirror" is quite misleading here as a modified binary is no longer a verbatim copy. Download statistics for Gimp on Windows show SourceForge as offering over 1,000 downloads per day of the Gimp software. In an official response to this incident, the official Gimp project team reminds users to use official download methods. Slashdotters may remember the last time news like this surfaced (2013) when the Gimp team decided to move downloads from SourceForge to their own FTP service.
Therefore, we remind you again that GIMP only provides builds for Windows via its official Downloads page.
Note: SourceForge and Slashdot share a corporate parent.
Reminds me of http://www.newscientist.com/ar... from 2002. Robots goal was to raise its altitude without knowing its actuators ahead of time.
HikVision are not my favorite camera to use and prefer Axis or a ton of others, but they all do the same job.
What is with needing FTP?
You should have the corporate site web page that pulls up an image from the HikVision IP camera. That camera is password protected and will only pay attention to the web site or your programming IP address. Could do live feed or update on whatever schedule you want.
It sounds like the main chef wants to hand-write the menu and doesn't want to do it any other way, and you are compensating for it.
If I were Facebook, I'd put the surveys on an a server like advertising.facebook.com. That way they wouldn't put surveys to the people using advertising blocking proxies.
Don't survey the people that would likely give results you don't want. Then you can change the wording so Mom and Pop generate the answer you'd like.
So then companies will contract out to individuals to make calls for them. Same problem.
In order to pilot a plane, you have to be certified pilot. Flight rage anyone?
Similar to the Mythbusters Jet Pack. Assuming it can carry enough fuel to get somewhere, it won't ever be allowed because there isn't enough of a safety margin.
I can see how they could do it, but the implications are creepy.
They could have an app or query my phone. It'd reply with my GPS position and that the signal strength to 4 towers by name/ID. Enough tags like that, they can identify the towers in 3D space and go from there.
Enough tags like that and location can be found just from tower information.
Okay, I'll bite on this one. Thank you for posting, Gellenburg.
I've had to go through hoops to get information to a customer and had to run around/through the IT department blocking my email. We had a time crunch, and it wasn't that sensitive of information, but policies were preventing me from sending, and we couldn't wait for IT to change rights to permit me to send this data. Sending ZIP files, for instance, was unpacked and scanned and blocked if the contents were funny. I used an unexpected archive format (my own).
I can easily see where you could detect the file names or database footprint of, say, a payroll database file. How good would your system be at finding the same data exported to spreadsheet format first?
Without compromising your system, what have you detected, and what couldn't you detect?
Thanks
How do we all balance out saying that its important to vote at the same time as saying that both candidates are the same?
Should more time be spent on deciding president, or senator, or governor or mayor?
Put the camera up in the ceiling in the corner and lower the resolution a bit.
Farther away and slightly out of focus. You can't distinguish anyone, and just know how big the crowd is. That's what you want.
Trying to be happy is like trying to build a machine for which the only specification is that it should run noiselessly.
