Are any of the Citizendium people active contibutors to MediaWiki? Seems that an effort to supplant Wikipedia ought to deal with the need to develop and maintain the software that runs it
Just wait until the pharm companies find out you illegaly transferred H5N1 IP to your system, and then made *billions* of copies of it. Your doctor will get a strongly-worded takedown notice, that's for sure
Yeah: CSS makes it so difficult to do proper layout that will look right in all browsers, that most people stick with tables. Part of this is the fault of browser implementors(*cough* IE *cough*), but its a real sore-spot for web design
Because the application is built on Ajax, like many other Web 2.0 services, it pushes data out to the client device in order to speed up future user requests
Does this author understand Ajax or Google Maps *at all*? Why bother reading this tripe?
Freedom to take code Mozilla Foundation has verified lives up to their standards for quality, stability, and user-experience, change it in ways Mozilla doesn't approve of, and then re-release the altered application, giving it the same name? That's not freedom, it's wanting to have your cake and eat it too
They have no jurisdiction over Spamhaus the company. ICANN has jurisdiction over spamhaus.org the domain name. As Spamhaus themselves points out though, going this route would be likely to piss off a great many people outside the US, unhappy that US influence on the net is being used to "enforce" a bogus and otherwise unenforceable US court decision
They say on their site that they believe if they just switched domains, they would be found in criminal contempt of court. Also yes, I'm sure the address is hard-coded in many places, for example proprietary user-facing mail servers
You're misunderstanding the technical aspects of how spam blocking works. E-mail admins don't get messages saying "block this one dude" - especially for smaller orgs, they will rely on anyone who should be blocked being listed on one of the RBLs. You're not going to sit there manually adding records to some separate internal list, adjusting it every time a spammer changes his IP
Normally if you're accepting form data, you have a way to control whether its coming from a GET or a POST. Nevertheless, using POST for security reasons(or anything where people would reasonably want to bookmark or navigate to/from a page) makes me angry
Or best of all, a nationwide carbon tax. Which would discourage use of inefficient lights, cars, refrigerators, furnaces, AC units, computer monitors, etc.
I would love for an '08 Prez candidate to put that in their platform
Well, it's worth asking how you could distinguish a "living" frozen person and a "dead" one - in the sense that, if I were to die and be frozen say 6 hours later, it's almost beyond argument that there would be no hope of reviving me. Would there be any good way of checking the status of a frozen person to determine whether they'd experienced catastrophic brain damage prior to death?
Can you give any actual argument to support that idea? People already experience non-continuity of consciousness with: sleep(arguably), drugs, accidents. People have experienced brain-death and then been revived before. Do you believe those people were essentially replaced by a doppleganger?

As someone who tried for a good couple months to make FastCGI work properly for a production app that needed reliability, mongrel has been a savior. I love Rails, but was beginning to think it was unworkable for anything important because of FastCGI's(specifically mod_fastcgi's) flakiness
The only real downside is the bleeding-edge technology needed(i.e. Apache 2.2 w/ mod_proxy_balancer)

being developed on a fast server ... hinders the ability to optimize code
That is a completely inane statement

Haha wow, you are so totally full of crap. Money != speech, or bribing a judge would be just as legitimate as an argument to the jury
And you don't think Microsoft could twist arms hard enough, if it wanted to, to kill the DRM?
And then update your app to freeze to the new version. You are freezing your app, aren't you?
GP is likely talking about lossy video compression, and there indeed have been significant advances in that. MPEG-1 -> H.264/AVC in what, 10-15 years?
So you posit that people are no longer using MySQL?

Apple looks ready to make a serious pushback against Exchange. I hope they take it all the way
I always hoped Hans Reiser would come murder the Mac guy for using HFS+

Try Reuters. The submitter got it wrong
Interesting idea - Lingr is the coolest implementation I've seen so far. Super-realtime chat. Much less latency than normal Ajax-only chat
