Ok, gordon, your headphones should keep you comfortable. If you would be so good to climb up and start the woofers, we would bring the anti-reverb spectrometer to 80% and hold it until the bass-line arrives

Suspend habeas corpus and enact martial law?
by rvuong
Americans seem ready to forfeit their most basic civil liberty -- actually, all their civil liberties -- without a whimper. By a vote of 93-7 the Senate this month approved a military appropriations bill empowering the government to designate any U.S. citizen within the country as a terrorist and to have the military hold him indefinitely without trial and without the right to habeas corpus, the right to be brought before a court for a judgment on the legality of one's imprisonment.

SARDU - How to Combine Rescue Disks to Create the Ultimate Windows Repair Disk - How-To Geek
by decembre
Why limit yourself to just one? Here’s how to combine your favorite repair disks together to create the ultimate repair toolkit for broken Windows systems—all on a single flash drive. If you need to clean up an infected system, we’d absolutely recommend the BitDefender CD, since it’s auto-updating. Best bet? Create your ultimate boot disk with as many of the different utilities as your flash drive can hold. To create the rescue disk, a USB flash drive with a decent amount of space—for our purposes, 2 GB is the minimum size, but you’d be better off with something a little bigger if you want to put a lot of repair disks on it, especially the larger ones. To create the custom drive, we’ll use a small piece of software called SARDU, which combines a bunch of functionality into a single package—you can use it to download the ISO images, write everything to the USB drive, or create an ISO image that you could burn to an optical disc—though obviously you’re space-limited in that case.

BIB - Greasemonkey Script - Exemple - Améliorer le statut d'un livre dans le catalogue en Ligne d'une Bibliothèque) - Group LAPL Holds by status for Greasemonkey
by decembre
Groups Los Angeles Public Library (lapl.org) holds (requests) by status: Ready for Pickup, In Transit, or Pending. Instead of just listing the holds by status, this userscript groups them by status. For holds that are Ready for Pickup it shows for each pickup date: * The number of days you have left to pick up your holds. Remember that "a $1.00 fee will be charged if an item placed on hold is not canceled or picked up by the "Hold Until" date." * The day of the week when the holds are due to be picked up * The pickup date * and the number of items to be picked up by that date. This is then followed by the items due to be picked up sorted by title. For holds that are Pending I list the items by the ratio of available # of copies to queue position. This gives you some idea of the order in which your holds will be available. If the ratio is above 1.00 you can expect the hold to be available "soon" (within 3 weeks).

Dirkon - The Paper Camera [pinhole.cz]
by sbrothier & 6 others
DIRKON – THE PAPER CAMERA
During the 1970s, magazines published in Communist Czechoslovakia were controlled by the state, like the majority of other enterprises. Very few good magazines were available and were difficult to get hold of, so people would borrow and exchange them when given the opportunity. This also applied to magazines aimed at young people, which was probably one of the reasons why almost everyone from my generation, when we get on to the subject of pinhole cameras, has fond memories of the cut-out paper camera known as Dirkon*, published in 1979 in the magazine ABC mladých techniků a přírodovědců [An ABC of Young Technicians and Natural Scientists].
Tom Gidden : Removing Ping from iTunes 10.0.1
by night.kame
This setting switches the default behaviour of the arrow links. By default (well, by default in iTunes 10.0.0 and before) the arrows would send the user to the corresponding page in the iTunes Store, but you could also hold down Opt and click to be redirected to the corresponding list in your own library. In my opinion, this was an incredibly useful feature: you can navigate through your own library so quickly. The "invertStoreLinks" setting makes this the default, so you just click to navigate. Holding down Opt while clicking will take you to the store.

The Bride Was Beautiful | catchrandom

Katie Kirkpatrick, 21, held off cancer to celebrate the happiest day of her life. Katie had chased cancer, once only to have it return-to clog her lungs and grab hold of her heart. Breathing was difficult now, she had to use oxygen. The pain in her back was so intense it broke through the morphine that was supposed to act as a shield. Her organs were shutting down but it would not stop her from marrying Nick Godwin, 23, who was in love with Katie since 11th grade.

Accessibility does not prevent you from using JavaScript or Flash | 456 Berea Street
by Monique
A common misconception is that in order to make a website accessible you have to abstain from using JavaScript or Flash. Almost every time I hold a workshop on Web standards and accessibility there is at least one participant who believes that accessibility limits what they can do on the Web by telling them to stay away from anything that isn’t pure HTML.

Budgets 2010 des collectivités locales : la désobéissance républicaine est nécessaire ! Communiqué de la Fédération CGT des Services publics (12 mars 2010) - Fédération CGT des services publics
by decembre
La réforme territoriale constitue un hold-up démocratique et financier par la concentration des lieux de décision et des moyens sur les régions, les futures métropoles et les intercommunalités. Le gouvernement vise notamment la réduction drastique du nombre de communes par ’intégration forcée aux intercommunalités. En 2009, la taxe professionnelle représentait près de 40% des recettes de fonctionnement des collectivités et les dotations de l’Etat près de 30%. Dans les communes, les ressources fiscales provenaient pour moitié des entreprises et pour moitié des ménages. A terme, les impôts locaux reposeront à 25% sur les entreprises et à 75% sur les ménages. Au final, c’est le choix entre la hausse des impôts sur les ménages, injuste socialement, et la réduction des services et de l’emploi public. Enfin, l’indispensable réforme du financement des collectivités permettant de corriger les inégalités territoriales est la grande absente de la réforme.
