Και για να γκρινιάξω λίγο, πρέπει να καταργηθεί η υποχρεωτική δημοσίευση σε εφημερίδα. Μπορεί να γίνει ένα κρατικό site, όπου να έχεις την επιλογή να βάζεις την αναγγελία του γάμου σου. :-)
- papachatzis
χμμμ, και ναι και όχι Παναγιώτη. Στην εφημερίδα μπορεί να περάσει και απαρατήρητη η αναγγελία. Στο δίκτυο θα υπάρχει πάντα το google! (Και υποθέτω ότι πολλοί και πολλές δε θα είναι χαρούμενοι μ' αυτή τη "δυνατότητα")
- Apostolos Tsompanopoulos
Απόστολε, ο λόγος της αναγγελίας είναι οτι αν π.χ κάποιος είναι δίγαμος να το δει η σύζυγος και να το καταγγείλει. Οπότε είναι προτιμότερο να μπεί σε site παρά σε μια εφημερίδα με χρόνο ζωής λιγότερο απο 24 ώρες
- papachatzis
α, τότε αλλάζει... έτσι στέκει. Εγώ νόμιζα ότι είναι κυρίως για να το μάθουν διάφοροι γνωστοί (που δεν πήραν προσκλητήριο) :-) Δεν έχω ασχοληθεί με το θέμα και αγνοώ τις λεπτομέρειες

there is no "sort by size" functionality for has:attachment though: Use IMAP, and a client like Thunderbird. You will be able to sort by size the "Gmail/All Mail" folder and delete the useless stuff. Or just buy the extra storage...

I've just released version 0.1 of FFDirect! Images included in your articles should show up in your friendfeed posts. Here are some, for testing: Any link to an audio file (.mp3, .wav, .aac) will also appear in your friendfeed entry, using the embedded audio player (I'm not sure if the player will play wav or aac files...)

Αν ανατρεξουμε στη 10 ετια του 90 οπου έρχονταν οι ορδες των πεινασμένων Αλβανων στο χωριο , μετα απο 7-8 μερες περπάτημα στα χιονισμενα βουνα, τοτε ναι, μιλαμε για πραγματικη δουλεια. Και ντρέπομαι πολυ για αυτο ως εργοδοτης τους. Τα πραγματα ετυχως καλυτερευσαν εκτοτε, αλλα ακόμη υπάρχει πολυς δρομος. και βεβαια υπάρχουν και τα παραδειγματα οπως της Μανωλαδας...

Θυμάμαι, περίπου, το 1996 ένας δημος κάπου έξω απο την δράμα είχε στείλει επιστολή στο μαξίμου με την οποία ζητούσε απο το κράτος να διώξει όλους τους Αλβανούς της περιοχής, αλλά να τους χορηγεί ειδική άδεια για να πηγαίνουν την περίοδο της συγκομιδής και μετά ξανά πίσω. Τον παραλογισμό εκείνον τον θυμάμαι ακόμα. Δεν νομίζω οτι έχουν αλλάξει και πολλά στην νοοτροπία αρκετών πολιτών.

λιγο πολυ αυτο γίνεται στην πράξη τώρα Παναγιώτη. Στη ουσια πρόκειται για εκμεταλευση, αλλα και εμεις είμαστε εκμεταλλευόμενοι πωλώντας σε εξευτελιστικες τιμές. Φαυλος κύκλος...

Eating a chocolate-n-nuts ice cream while reading about Google's new translation toolkit (http://is.gd/Vr5a). It's great to see more companies identifying the value of localized information. I wonder about its ability to integrate with other platforms like Transifex and share its translation memory.

"If you're curious about large-scale meat-processing machinery and sanitation procedures, definitely watch this video. If you ever, ever want to eat at McDonald's (or for that matter, beef) again, don't."

This isn't entirely fair - watching Ted Nuggent cleaning a deer he killed with an arrow wouldn't be that charming either. People need to face the facts: Meat is murder, and murder is yummy. No matter how you change the process from cute grazing cow to having a full belly, there's going to be death and blood and what this author calls, "horror." It's nasty, but it's hardly unexpected.
- Ciaoenrico
from my POV, the really creepy part of all this is how *proud* McDs and friends are of this process.
- MikeAmundsen
@Ciaoenrico: i agree with some of your points: meat is murder: yummy? well, that's another thing. also, whether the deed is done by machine or man, it's gonna be messy. here's my basic point: most people have a visceral, immediate reaction of discomfort when seeing this. why is that? are they just 'wimps' or is something else at play in our brains?
- MikeAmundsen

There's a planet to feed: who don't want to optimize processes for cheaper food?
- Jérôme
@Jerome: what you see is here not cheap at all. in fact, the resources used for this plant, for the animals bred for this plant, and the resources used to ship, package, and sell the meat here all adds up to much more than locally grown, butchered, and sold meats. the work here is definitely *profitable*, but it's not cheap.
- MikeAmundsen
Would it be better if every fast food place had a mini-butcher shop in the back room? Would that somehow change things? Meat usually requires processing, it's been that way for thousands of years. Those who have grown-up in urban America without exposure to rural life, farms, and livestock do miss out on some things, it seems.
- Robert Kenney
I funded much of my college education working in the meat department of a grocery store, part of a 27-store chain. I remember when we switched from making our own burger and went to pre-made burger from Monfort Packing in Colorado. It came in tubes, so we still hand packed for the meat case, but for a few weeks I couldn't get Soylent Green off my mind.
- Bob Young
@Robert: first, what you see here is not at all "rural" - it's very "urban." also, (for me anyway) this is not about whether meat is good/bad or processing is messy or not. what do you think of the comment i offered to Jerome regarding common people's reaction to seeing this?
- MikeAmundsen
Am I the only one that wasn't the least bit grossed out by watching this video? Maybe it was because just like Bob Young, I worked in a high volume supermarket meat room at one time (something like a Costco, before chains like that existed). I don't eat red meat any more for my own reasons and other forms of meat are eaten less than once a week, but it has nothing to do with anything...
more...
- April
@April: excellent question. i really *do* wonder about how many folks are grossed out. my ad-hoc tests (using similar videos; nothing like a 'Ted Nugent' kinda thing) resulted in mostly negative reactions.
- MikeAmundsen
@MikeAmundsen Well I like being a little bombastic, but yes - unless one is a vegetarian, you have to face facts that hamburgers are NOM, and get to your plate via a cattle prod and a gutting process that's more violent than all of the Saw movies put together. So yes, it is murder, and I own up to that, but I also accept that because I love pot roast so much.
- Ciaoenrico
BTW, I am all for the vegetarians. See, I feel I'm being non-hypocritical by facing up to how meat gets on my plate. Vegetarians own up to it as well, but they have a different conclusion - they do without. Either way, I think both sides are consistent, even if they don't like me very much for admitting I enjoy consuming death.
- Ciaoenrico
why would I not want to eat beef again after watching this? I'm really hungry now
- Richard Lawler
@Ciaoenrico: i hear ya - that's all cool. i've been a viggie for 30+ years. not a big deal w/ me; just the way i roll. i am also 'all for the meaties.' i see nothing evil in it at all; we can call roll. what *does* strike me is the reactions.
- MikeAmundsen
Robert Kenney - if beef was ground on site, things would cost more, but on the other hand, contamination, if any, would not be spread across millions of pounds of ground beef over most of the nation.
- Andrew C (✓)
But ground on site would mean less sanitation at more locations. Do you have any idea of the number of health violations that currently exist in many fast food restaurants already?
- April
Good point. And yes, I actually occasionally read the online health inspector reports for my local city. Sometimes it's reassuring (no major citations, and none recent) and sometimes not so much.
- Andrew C (✓)
Yeah, and just think, most places are worse than the reports state, due to the fact that they usually know when the inspector is coming and they clean up the place as much as possible and behave themselves while he's there. Those places that fail are run by the truly ignorant that don't know the first thing about sanitation, otherwise they wouldn't have been caught.
- April
Thanks, April Russo, but I wish you hadn't brought up the rat crap as I was eating a PB&J at the time. As an aside, I can't even express how happy I was when Nugent left Michigan and became a Texan.
- Bob Young
Yeah, if you used Twitter to keep up to date on the swine flu epidemic, and the tweets and RTs weren't from the CDC or WHO or a reputable source in the know, then yeah. you deserve a kick in the gootch.
