IDN is backwards compatible with existing DNS-servers, and has been in use for several years. Mozilla, Firefox, Safari and Opera support it. So does Internet Exploder 7.
For crying out loud ! Can't we just leave those Mozilla folks alone for a day, so that they can prepare the release. They have to post 38 different executables, and do a very last check to see if they actually work.
That already exists - I drove one yesterday (Antwerp, Belgium). Not electrical though, it was a regular car (Ford Focus).
It's car-sharing : if you need a car, you rent one for the time you need. You can pick one up from a few points around the city, and you have to leave it back there when you're finished. If you want to keep it longer (overnight, or when you need it for a weeekend), just keep it. You're paying with a special card (in this case, a RFID card), so that only authorized persons can borrow one, and you will be charged with the numbers of kilometers that you use.
It's a kind of automated car rental company, with a membership card.
Updating Deer Park alpha 2 ? Why ? Deer Park was already released as Firefox 1.5 in november. The newer builds (both the 1.8.1 branch where FF 2 came from, and the trunk that will become FF 3) still carried the name until recently. There's no codename for Firefox 3.0 yet ; The Ocho was used for a while, but that's too close to Bon Echo.
BonEcho is the codename for Firefox 2, just like DeerPark was for Firefox 1.5. They're not using the name Firefox, otherwise people will claim various bugs and half-implemented features for Firefox, ignoring that it is an ALPHA release.
That's total bullshit. MS has nothing to do with this. In fact, no-support of SCTP in MS operating systems will be thee biggets hurdle for the introduction. It's *Linux* that is driving ther adoption !
Disclaimer: I'm using SCTP in my job for several years now.
Leopard (10.5) will indeed not be ready in Janary, but Tiger (10.4) is already running on Intel. In fact, every OSX-release was secretly ported to Intel.
So yes, you might have Intel hardware in January. But it will not yet be running Leopard.
I can't understand why the/. public seems to think that AT&T and VoIP are completely incompatible. VoIP is so much more than Skype or a H323/SIP-client that you install on your PC to make 'free' calls. There's a whole infrastructure in the Telco's backbone to support your call.
I work for Alcatel, and we're developping SoftSwitch solutions for lots of companies, including AT&T. They're probably the biggest customer.
I guess those mails were sent to postmaster@[ipaddress], which you're required to provide. There's no such contact-address as root@ , although it might have worked on an UNIX-like OS.
I work for Alcatel Belgium (I work on the SMC 5735 RADIUS Proxy, a part of the 5020 SoftSwitch), and I can assure you that quite a number of products run on Linux, for example our OmniPCXOffice products. And you might find even more in the future (can't comment on that).
Other companies provide Linux based solutions too. And why not ? It's just an operating system. The fact that the Telecom companies are choosing Linux just proves that Linux is very stable. The actual fact that it's free has nothing to do with it (the cost for a license would be an extremely small part in the TCO).
And no, it can't be downloaded for free, just because it's Linux. That the first question my friends alwasy ask. Most of the software is propriety, and often written for special hardware. And also extremly expensive ofcourse, otherwise who would pay for all those hundreds of engineers that are developing them ?

The article was not about the *volume* of the music, but about the compression of the dynamic range. RTFA !

Easy : GFE = Google Front End
You're not talking to the webservers directly, but to load-balancers.

Nobody here seems to realize that Ottot Z. Stern is just a joke. A fictional character.
I can't understand you - you've installed Pithhelmet for Safari, but you refuse to install an extension in Firefox ?
the name Deer Park was removed long before the release candidates
Do you really think that only US politics count ? Sheesh.
Where are the weapons of mass destruction ?

There's one in Bretagne (France) since the 70's. I can't remember where exactly (near St. Malo ?), but I've visited it around 15 years ago.
