Montgomery County doesn't have that problemMaybe in Bumfuck County, U.S.A. they would need to kiss corporate ass to get new businesses located there, but Montgomery County, MD (a suburb of Washington, D.C.) has a high concentration of high tech, government and corporate HQs and is growing exponentially. They can very well do as they please, especially when it benefits workers rights. IIRC, ALL smoking in restaurants is to be banned in Montgomery pretty soon.

Not offtopicThis isn't offtopic. It has to do with a different story that was here on Slashdot, and is definitely interesting.

Microsoft Version NumbersYou need to keep in mind that, the version number of Windows 98 is not actually 98. It's 4.50 I believe. The version number of Windows 95 was 4.0.
I think numbering your versions by year is awkward. You end up having Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows 98 Second Edition OEM, etc.

Selena Sol's scripts at Extropia.comI just noticed that the error affected my Guestbook too
I quickly modified the perl code to fix the problem, but then I noticed that a fix was already posted on the site. Silly me.

Moderate this fucker down.Excuse me, but Bruce Perens is far from stupid. In fact, I'd fathom to guess that he's a genius.
And the technocrat.net thing is his signature, you nitwit.

Re:Public Information, F.O.I.A, and accessibility.AFAIK post office services are *NOT* free. Taxpayer money goes to government institutions.

Zeus/SSLZeus is a rather nice server. It has a very easy web-based administration interface, that remains pretty powerful (I like it better than Roxen's admin interface. I seem to have to click continuosly in Roxen to set a simple option). Zeus isn't cheap though.

X-FileGet, Ra2Wav under Linux...I believe you can use X-FileGet under Wine, though I'm not sure..
I know that Ra2Wav works fine under Wine though, as long as you install RealPlayer G2 first. Try this directory containing XFileGet, RA2wav, etc.

Re:Super Cool.This isn't a flame. But, honestly bugg, even a core FreeBSD developer would be unable to make a statement of that sort with confidence. FreeBSD still has a way to go before its SMP is solid.
I like FreeBSD a lot, don't get me wrong, but some of the FreeBSD Bigots (especially in #freeBSD) turn off would-be users.
