Bullshit. A cookie contains what a developer puts in it. IT doesn't have to be a username. It could be a 128bit hex SHA1. Users don't know the difference half the time, Even if it was your username, it's not like everyone in the world can read it, and it has not a damn thing to do with "tracking your movements on the web".
Just because a server sends a cookie doesn't mean that the whole world is tracking what you do. It's precisely this kind of media paranoia that makes development damn near impossible without idiot users bitching about harmless cookies. Guess what. Your ISP has more informaiton about what you do on the net that almost any cookie you can get.
I was stunned to see this. After waiting forever in 4.x on a 5.x stable release, the release if 6 seems like it came much much quicker. I wasn't expexting 6 so soon.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I'm ok with the teaching if ID as long as it's not solely Christan based. If we are really talking about teaching it "for the well rounded education of our children to see multiple sides", then we need to teach other religous beliefs about ID as well.
I'll take that one step further. Why don't you teach Evolution in Sunday school? Afterall, it IS about the well rounded educaiton of the children right?
I'm not convinced the UN needs to be involved with the internet admin at all. The one thing I am certain of is that the internal is a global thing now. No one country can be allowed to run it in the future. The more we grasp at keeping the internet 'ours', the sooner it will be that we will have the US internet, and the world internet. That's a bad thing. The internet as itself has a very great skill: routing around "problems". Sometimes those problems are political opression; sometimes there are stupid laws; sometimes they're outages, and sometimes they are simply inter-BigCo disputes.
The internet routes around those issues, and finds a way to get there from here. That's what it does, and it does it well. Is the US keeps fighting this, the internet will perceive us as the problem, and route around us; eventuall cutting us our of a larger picture IMHO.
Bunk. I use Catalyst. It works fine in Apache/MP1 and Apache2/MP2 as well as CGI/FastCGI. MP2 has been released for quite some time now; although you wouldn't know it by some of the way out of date packages in some distros (like Ubuntu that is still on the 1.99dev version).
It just so happens that we had a guy talking about the new Power5/LPAR/VM stuff at the Ohio LinuxFest Saturday. I won't claim to know very much about the topic, but the presentation was very clear about that fact that the new VM/Virtualization stuff in Power5/Linux isn't you're fathers LPAR. While you can have up to 40 LPARS, you can have many many more VM servers on top of that, or even on top of the hardware without LPARS at all.
I'm trying to find the powerpoint of from the speaker in question (Scott Courtney, Sine Nomine Associates). It had some interesting number on the max number of Linux VMs they could run befure it ran out of resources.
nyone who thinks that using embryonic stem cells is a no-brainer either doesn't understand the ethical considerations at stake, or simply doesn't believe in ethical considerations at all.
OK, I'll play, but only because I'm curious. What is the ethical problem with using embryonic stem cells from fertalized eggs that are being thrown away from a fertility clinic? They are other wise going to be thrown away or disposed of, so why not put them to use?
What I get confused with is how people are against that particular use, yet aren't against the fertility clinic itself, which outside the scope of this argument is throwing away fertalized eggs...aka "murder" to the extremists.
Now granted, there are plenty of other ways to use embryonic stem cells as well, but weve completely killed on good use but claiming all uses are bad.
Define "Target for mobile devices". Are we talking about functional differense in the site, or layout/look/feel differences?
If the former, then I agree. You're stuck with teh best way to do it. If the latter, I'd say the look/feel/layout is seperated enough into CSS, but that's just me.
Microsoft has now separated the code that controls the presentation from the actual presentation.
Funy you should mention that. I was just griping this week about an apparent step backwards in 2.0 about that.
In 1.1, when you drag a table to the page, it created a connection and data adapter. All the code for that was actually in the code behind; where it belonged.
In 2.0, when you drage a table to the page, it creates a bloated doall called a datasource, and it tosses things like conneciton strings and sql command parameter definitions right in the html, in the asp: control tag. Holy wrong thing to do batman.
Apparently this was brought on by some genuises decision to ditch the non-visual control area of the page designer and ditch the InitializeComponents part of the codebehind.
Here's the bug report that pretty much sums it up.
And this is the main thing that still bugs me about ASP.NET. Sniffing the user agent string is a failure waiting to happen. How often does that file get updated?
I'm really happy about ASP.NET 2.0. It's got all of the good features of the object oriented web design, plus they paid more attention to having their controls spit out valid XHTML.
P.S. Don't knock Perl. I do ASP.NET at work and Perl at home. THe more you know, the more perspective you have.
Why would a visually impaired person be able to read a normal page but not an updated page?
All things in moderation. Keep in mind that Google is the worlds most popular blind web user. Whether real blind people will use your web app or not, you most certainly will want Google to still find it's way around to your content. Certain situations are or course the exceptions.
Use AJAX where appropriate, and only AFTER the same functionality works without javascript enabled. This is especially true for anything related to forms.
Too bad OpenGL is getting crippled in Windows Vista. By the time Vist is in full swng, OpelGL on windows can't possibly be as popular if it's performance is drained by the layering.
That's an option, although I don't consider it a nice one. It completely changes the dynamics of actually using a proxy server and it sometimes plays hell with your local machines ip/dns/resolves. It works most of the time. It's the "most
part I'm not fond of.
Unfortunately for me and others, Opera still lacks one critical thing: NTLM authentication to MS Proxy/ISA servers. Firefox works. IE works. Yet Opera still manages to write of NTLM compatbility just because 'it's an ensecure protocol from MS'.
I merrily downloaded and registered my free version only to find out it's absolutely worthless at work not only for web access, but the access developmental pages/servers that do ntlm/windows integrated security.
That's actually a decent anf fair settlement. I was actually surprised by that. Class action settlements these days amount to a cheesy $7.93 cent check or something just as equally worthless compared to the repair costs or the hardware costs involved.
More regulations to drive up costs and actually lower security. That's our government. I can't wait for the first time that a feds-access method is discovered and published. Of course I'm sure they'll label that discovery person a terrorist.
Because there are cases on the books in which the employers lost rights because they made the employee buy the clothing. At that point, it's the employees property; not the employers. I'm not saying that is the end of the discussion, but it will weaken any control they try to assert in some situations.
was that most of the employees surfing are doing so while spending the other 95% of their jobs waiting on people to actually make project decisions and redoing their work for the 4th time because the decisions makers can't make up their minds.
I hate controllers. Period. Give me a keyboard and a mouse any day of the week. Make that PS3 or XBOX360 support keyboard/mouse configuration in games and I'm all about moving to a console.

That depends. Did your employer loan you the uniform, or make you purchase it. If you purchased it, all bets are off.
Or MILF day.
