Paris, Je t’aime | Garance Doré

by karlcow

Let me explain why and how this happened. Years ago an Italian writer wrote a book (not a great book), a story about teenagers, love and death. A scene in this book described two lovers who hooked a lock at Ponte Milvio, in Rome, in the name of their love. Since the book began very famous in Italy among teenagers, all lovers (all teenagers) began to hook their lockets on every bridge, everywhere in Italy: in Florence they began on Ponte Vecchio as well, wasting the beauty of the Art. It’s very difficult remove them, in fact. I hope this stupid behaviour will stop soon, but as I can see it’s common also in France now. It’s epidemic.

Pont des Arts padlocks | SNAP! Magazine

idiotic Submitted by karl (not verified) on Sat, 10/29/2011 - 05:58. This is idiotic, it started a couple of years ago (because of… ? a movie ? a book ?). Let's put apart the symbolism of a lock for love (yirk). The bridge is now fully covered by lockers. I was there two weeks ago, it became a big pile of metal. The photos must have been taken one year or two ago. The Pont des Arts doesn't scale with the massive amount of romanticism that tourists have.

Attack of the hoodies « Jason Paul Grant

by karlcow

For too long we, society, have turned our noses up at the hoodies. We never wanted to hug them. We wanted to demonise them, exclude them from school, not employ them, lock them up, and then release them into the same situation to repeat.

The Sexy Details of How the iPad and MacBook Will Hook Up

them the above-mentioned architecture-neutrality, but also affords them incredible pricing power, and ensures they can tap into consistent component supply, which will be a critical challenge as they lock up an even bigger slice of the supply chain. Apple can build an A4-variant themselves, or they can partner up with one of many vendors. If Intel starts innovating again, that’s an easy choice for Apple. If nVidia, with its graphics pedigree, emerges as a winner in combining GPUs with ARM-based CPUs, Apple can partner more deeply or buy the company. Or Ap

Bait bikes: the way to beat theft gangs or entrapment? | Frederika Whitehead | Environment | guardian.co.uk

by karlcow

This tactic, also known as decoy or tracker bikes, sees police leaving badly locked, or even unlocked, bicycles in vulnerable locations. They are fitted with hidden GPS devices, letting officers trace them to the thieves, or better still to a lock-up or warehouse used by gangs to store lots of stolen bikes.

copenhagen wheel project

by karlcow
use your phone to unlock and lock your bike, change gears and select how much the motor assists you. As you cycle, the wheel’s sensing unit is also capturing your effort level and information about your surroundings, including road conditions, carbon monoxide, NOx, noise, ambient temperature and relative humidity. Access this data through your phone or the web and use it to plan healthier bike routes, to achieve your exercise goals or to meet up with friends on the go. You can also share your data with friends, or with your city - anonymously if you wish – thereby contributing to a fine-grained database of environmental information from which we can all benefit.

Confined Love by John Donne

by tadeufilippini
Confined Love Some man unworthy to be possessor Of old or new love, himself being false or weak, Thought his pain and shame would be lesser If on womankind he might his anger wreak, And thence a law did grow, One might but one man know; But are other creatures so? Are Sun, Moon, or Stars by law forbidden To smile where they list, or lend away their light? Are birds divorced, or are they chidden If they leave their mate, or lie abroad a-night? Beasts do no jointures lose Though they new lovers choose, But we are made worse than those. Who e'er rigged fair ship to lie in harbours And not to seek new lands, or not to deal withal? Or built fair houses, set trees, and arbors, Only to lock up, or else to let them fall? Good is not good unless A thousand it possess, But dost waste with greediness. John Donne

Amazon RDS, MySQL, Hmm?

BTW if you follow their "use mysqldump" model for pushing data into the service, remember that --single-transaction will allow you to do a hot backup. There is no need to lock up your current database. I am still appalled at how few people know that. Years ago we should have renamed "mysqldump" to "mysqlbackup" and defaulted the settings for Innodb.

KDE Partition Manager KDE-Apps.org

KDE Partition Manager 1.0.0 KDE System Tool VolkerLanz VolkerLanz Home - Volker Lanz Germany, Karlsruhe last visit Aug 23 2009 0 friends 0 groups other contents send a message add as friend more info - - KDE Partition Manager zoom KDE Partition Manager zoom KDE Partition Manager zoom Homepage: Link Depends on: KDE 4.x Downloads: 6549 Submitted: Sep 18 2008 Updated: Aug 18 2009 Score: score94�%score 94% good bad good Description: KDE Partition Manager is a utility program to help you manage the disk devices, partitions and file systems on your computer. It allows you to easily create, copy, move, delete, resize without losing data, backup and restore partitions. KDE Partition Manager supports a large number of file systems, including ext2/3/4, reiserfs, NTFS, FAT16/32, jfs, xfs and more. It makes use of external programs to get its job done, so you might have to install additional software (preferably packages from your distribution) to make use of all features and get full support for all file systems. KDE Partition Manager is also available as a bootable Live CD. Changelog: 1.0.0 ===== * Code unchanged from RC1. * Many translations heavily improved. 1.0.0-RC1 ========= * Correctly handle ext4 file systems even with patched parted 1.8.8 (and hopefully 1.8.9 too). Patch by Fatih Asici . (bug #195243) * Clear the partition flags for a copied partition in the preview. (bug #202346) * Write the new start sector to the partition's boot sector if an NTFS file system was moved or copied. (bug #202329) 1.0.0-BETA3 =========== * Set the default file system in the New-Partition-dialog, don't just rely on it being the first one in the list. * Sort items in file system combo boxes case-insensitively. * Fix a bug where the total free space available could get smaller and smaller when moving an existing partition in a dialog. * Fix a bug that the progress information wasn't set as window title for the top level application window. * Speed up copying file systems (and thus moving, resizing and copying). * Add some basic timing output to the detailed report for copying file systems. * Find a file system's mount point even if it is identified by label in fstab. * Add support for reading file system labels from FAT16 and FAT32. * Fix a bug where the volume label for a linuxswap file system was lost when resizing it. * Make sure all interesting information shown in labels anywhere in the application is user-selectable with the mouse. * Display the UUID for most file systems that support it. * Always show the current file system in the partition properties dialog's file system combo box, even if it cannot be created, is too big or too small. 1.0.0-BETA2 =========== * Add an application icon contributed by David Miller. * Allow setting the file system label in the dialog when creating a new partition. * Add a context menu to operation list. * Use a shell script to run partition manager as a child of hal-lock. This should in theory (and according to the hal-lock manpage) avoid notifications for new devices, but doesn't seem to work that well. * Fix a bug that would keep the user from deleting a newly created logical partition because the application thought there were higher-numbered partitions still mounted. * Add a kcm for KDE Partition Manager. If this is built and installed or not can be (like it already is the case with the KPart) configured via cmake. 1.0.0-BETA1a ============ Repackaged without documentation to fix build breakage on systems with cmake prior to 2.6.2. 1.0.0-BETA1 =========== * Fix a potential crash when merging a New Operation and a Create File System Operation. * Set extended partitions as busy as long as logical partitions inside them are mounted. * Don't silently succeed when unmounting a partition that cannot in fact be unmounted because it has no mount points. * Prevent creating a new partition table on a device with mounted partitions. * Add tooltips to partition widgets. * Don't show cd/dvd readers or writers as devices even if libparted reports them. * Add support for ext4. * Fix calculation of reserved/free blocks for ext2/3/4. * Output reason why a mount or unmount might have failed. * Fix minimum width for extended partitions in the partition table widget. * Fix a bug where a partition table just created would not disappear when the operation to create it was undone. * Don't allow creating partitions smaller than the device's cylinder size. * Fix an error that could lead to some space (a few megabytes) between two partitions being wasted. 1.0.0-ALPHA2 ============ Fix the most important bugs. See CHANGES in the source archive for detailed information. 1.0.0-ALPHA1 ============ Initial public release.
