1. The web server software(glares at IIS)
2. The programming of the individual web service itself.
Apache has been checked over and over for security problems, its much more likely to be secure than some corba/rmi/etc server that much fewer people use.
As of a few seconds ago there were ~190 replies to this story, most having to do with Anime. It seems the masses of Nerds who want news have spoken. Maybe you should go somewhere else then, or get an account and filter out anything you don't want.
True, but even when there are enough episodes, they still drop it. Sailor moon and all of the Gundams had plenty. Dispite the short number of episodes, Outlaw Star has been played 5 days per week for a long time now. I think its going to go back on at 12:30 after dbz every night. As much as I like db+dbz I would really like to see something different.
I suggest people use the feedback form here I really like the Adult Swim idea and think that many dubbed Anime's would go great there.
Cartoon network drops anime at the drop of a hat regardless of world events. I can't even remember all of the different series that they have put out there only to drop 2-3 months later.
I suppose that they have to pay a royalty for each episode they air and if the ratings aren't high enough they may not get enough ad revenue to at least break even.
CN is a AOLTW network and I work for AOLTW (not at CN, but close).
AOLTW missed their projected earnings by a long shot and have been laying off and cutting costs like crazy all year. I don't blame CN for sticking to what is safe and making a profit for now till the next earning report comes out. The more money they save, the less layoffs happen.
To make matters worse, sponsors have actually dropped from the CNN agencies so there product doesn't get unconsciously associated with it. ("this updated death count brought to you by Acme, the leader in so and so") So Cnn loses money, aoltw tells the other networks to play it safe with sponsor revenue.
This is all an educated guess mind you, based on what I have heard from different sources.
.... Miller, who had worked for NASA in the early 1980s, studying the effects of zero gravity on circadian rhythms in squirrel monkeys...
NASA's true goal is to discover the most strange and useless facts in the universe. Next up: Study the eye movements of dogs when exposed to the effects of twinkies shot out of cannons.
Either that or the scientists just thought the idea of monkeys floating around in zero G would be really funny to watch (which would really be funny actually...)
I was wondering if this is a way to get around the license: Say we have Mr X and Mr Y. Mr Y installs the software and agrees to the license. He does a benchmark and tells Mr X about it in private. Mr X publishes what he is told, and since he never agreed to the license, hes ok. Wouldn't this be an easy work around?
The article says he used a copy of mssql to do the benchmarks, but I don't know if it means Larry himself. Would the CEO of Oracle be doing benchmarks?
I have to wonder if solving all of our hunger and labor problems will really solve anything. I have a small theory that I have been working on: 'Every problem will fill the available consciousness not filled by other problems' Ever meet a bored retired person? From my experience, their problems are things that if they still were working or raising a family, they wouldn't think twice about. If I live in a perfect life, then stub my toe on something, that pain is suddenly the _only_ thing wrong, so it will seem like a crisis. If we can somehow provide a way so that every person on the planet has enough food and other provisions to live, what will we fight over next? Will being needy mean that they don't have very good tasting food or very comforatable surroundings?
After about 2 generations of any living conditions, people forget how lucky they are and the focus on the real problem is lost. for example, we americans eat too unhealthy, but we loose sight that eating unhealthy is much better than starving, so its not really a problem.
Even if everyone is living the lifestyle that people enjoy in highly industrialized contries, very few people will realize what they have. We might be living in a utopia, but we will never know it. Its easy for someone in the past to think "wow no world hunger, it must be a perfect world". But the people living it won't think that way, they didn't live a life of starvation. There will be other 'major issues' like extending peoples lifespan and solving population problems to occupy the collective mind.

This kind of setup will only be as secure as:
1. The web server software(glares at IIS)
2. The programming of the individual web service itself.
