You relate ppl dying of hunger to anti-gmo how exactly? Oh wait.. you actually believe it when a company like monsanto tells you they are doing it to solve world hunger? Right.. World hunger can end right now, without the need for gmo's. The fact is that disregarding the hazzards of gmo's, the whole setup is wrong in so many ways. Once a farmer is in it, he basically cannot opt out. Not only that, but the pollen of those gmo plants spreads through the air and infects other farmers fields. After a while, a monsanto rep shows up and tells the farmer he has gmo plants on his fields and is violating their IP, so he either can buy in or get sued. Yes, this sounds exactly like an altruistic company trying to eliminate world hunger.

dos line endings, very good point. since it is very likely he will run into it, i just want to add 'cat -e file'. unix line ending will show like: string$ whereas dos line endings would probably look like: string^M$ you can use dos2unix, or checkout how tr and sed can do it, with the latter you have added benefit of making acquintance with some standard and often used nix tools.

in elementary school we did some logo. once in high school we got pascal. i had no problem whatsoever following cause i already knew pascal, self-taught. the rest of the class were sitting there eyes wide open not understanding a thing.. cause the teacher had assumed everyone knew what a computer was and how it worked.... at that time i was the only one who actually had a computer at home :p

First off, it looks awesome. Secondly, the scrolling indeed feels 'sticky'. On my Galaxy Gio on random moments either the page goes to top or it opens an article i didnt click... Keep up the good work! :)

FY, Options -indexes on /var/www made my boxes safe against this attack.

I read a book once. It was about a society where spying eyes could detect the acts of political activists. It wasnt a pretty book.

And they should also learn to spell properly!

My dad uses the mouse left-handed. he finds it very handy that way.....

Erm. I believe uploading an mp3 to any location IS regarded as distribution. Please correct me if I'm wrong ;-) brabo.

Maybe we pay all those taxes for one of the best social security systems in the world? If you lose your job, the government gives you money.. not altogether that much, but at least just enough to survive. Rather not pay a lot of taxes? Think at the downside of that... no good medical assurances.. no serious unemployment money.. Put like this, I actually prefer to pay taxes, I like to share what I have with those less fortunate.

I don't know where you live, but here in Belgium you don't see alot of those cctv systems, except sometimes on the metro's. I for one do not feel constantly observed (and I'm not). Here at least if someone wants to tap my phone, they have to go ask a judge. AND they need proof that you're breaking a law, or serious supspicions you are doing so. Our civil rights are still protected... for as long as that lasts :p
