And as former state legislator guess what legislation he pressed on..... Wait for it....

While Ted Klaudt served in the legislature, his name was attached to several bills designed to protect children from sex abuse. Klaudt served in the South Dakota House from 1998 to 2006. He served on the appropriations as well as the government operations and audit committees. And while in office, he co-sponsored several bills that took aim at sex offenders.

Comment Re:Legal obligation to dub? (Score 1) 256

I don't believe there are any requirements that the programs be dubbed in EU states (but I'm willing to look at any evidence to the contrary).

Don't need to. I'm from Portugal, and in here, every movie or tv-show (except Shrek's and other kids movies) is presented in its original language, let it be english, french, chinese or martian, (with subtitles of course).

You didn't know you were born!

We had to lay sandy-coloured rocks next to slightly lighter-coloured shells on a sandy beach to encode our programsin binary. Which nothing could run. And it was lost whenever the tide came in. Or a hermit crab walked off with oneof the shells.

If we were lucky, we'd get to lick the hermit crab residue off of a shell for food.

And yes, you're the only one who's reading this now...

Submission + - Sourceforge.net offline due to database corruption

cnkurzke writes: According to the website http://apps.sourceforge.net/wordpress/sourceforge/ the main sourceforge developer site went offline at 17:17 UTC.

The outage is said to be caused by a "defect in the database platform or some other system fault".
The teams over at sf.net are busy restoring the database from a backup, and as of now, hope to bring the site back up without any data loss.

Let's keep our fingers crossed!
