    A software bug caused the first Ariane 5 to crash. Basically it boiled down to lazy coding ignoring a background thread from the previous version of the software that was no longer needed.

    Official Report.

    Transform header is for cache control, like changing bmp files to jpeg or png when stored in cache. It is not to insert shit into pages.

    You are correct, copyright law prevents modifying of content. The only way to do this is to have another Window or "frame" display the adds. Adding adds into the website is copyright infringement.

    Open Source, South Carolina. State chosen to make the city name hard to pronounce. Everybody lives in caravans because nobody can keep people off their land.

    Pajamas, Pennsylvania (alliteration is fun)

    Indymedia, Indiana. It's placed smack dab in the middle of Indiana.

    Sourceforge, Georgia

    Windows, Wisconsin. Just make city ordinance requiring everybody to paint their houses blue. Elevators have this installed.

    Pajamas, Nevada. (A bedroom community outside Las Vegas.)

    Pajamas, New Mexico. New media. New Mexico. Pronounced in a Spanish accent. "Pahamas". Gets lots of tourists who thought they were going to the Bahamas.

    Starbucks, The Moon. (A mining community in Mare Nectaris. If your name contains "Star", it better be related to space.)

    Slashdot, Kansas. You love torrents. Now build a torrent-proof basement. And ruby slippers. Situated on the railway line between Darwin, Kansas and Pat Robertson, Kansas.

    AmVidia (sorry if I remain anonymous coward, anyway I am not previous poster you replied to ;) ...), I have tried Solaris 9 on Intel with Gnome at my university. The version of Gnome shipped with Solaris 9 is rather old, and full of bugs. Sometimes pcs in that environment begin to beep and don't stop making awful noises... other times when we logout there are still amount of processes running unkilled, and this is with stock Gnome that comes with the distribution.

    Of course, Gnome now is stabler, faster, better, stronger, but at the time of publishing KDE was already more mature and stable at the time, and now in its 3.2 incarnation it is even better! (Trying it on MDK 10 beta 1).

    "Malicious code, such as viruses, worms and Trojans, remains the number one most concern of most IT security professionals"

    I'm an IT security professional, and this really scares me. There are gaping holes in most organisations internal security that far outweigh the threats from external sources. Examples include

    • Paranoid mobile-office/home access to the corporate network with virus scanners and what-have-you, while username/password for the mainframe travels in the clear on the corporate LAN.
    • Application (especially web) security with more holes than swiss cheese.
    • Internal users who have full access to everything, and not even decent routines for potentially devastating tasks. Last summer here in Norway most banks stood still because a techie formatted the wrong SAN box in a vital datacentre!
    We're very(?) good at protecting from untrusted users & systems, but not against trusted users & systems. Learning the difference between trusted and trustworthy is extremely educating ( ref )!
