"After the extensive research of how IE directs bad names to MSN Search, we decided that we couldn't let the bastards at MS be only ones that makes money off of poor saps who can't type their URLs right."
So, does this mean that the next version of IE is going to ignore the sitefinder site and just show the MSN search page?
I dont seem to be able to get to it either, at least not port 80. Probably due to many slashdot readers running Seth Finkelstein's program to see what results they get:)
Or if you get bored you could try dnsmasq and block the sitefinder yourself. As of yesterday dnsmasq has had the option to return NXDOMAIN when it recieved the 64.94.110.11 address (or any others you choose)
It looks like it doesnt always work, ssdlhoat.org took me a few seconds to figure out but I read the other two (and that English university text) without any problems.
Make that a handful of cities in a handful of countries. 3 have different types of coverage, there is the voice only coverage (so, normal mobile phone) which is pretty much the whole of the UK and then there is the video coverage which you can get when you are in certain towns/cities.
Does anyone know why newer mozilla (and galeon) will not let you set your useragent to start with Mozilla/4. It refuses to start, saying it should be version 5 or higher. My bank is one listed on that register list of sinners (NatWest), but by setting the UserAgent to be Mozilla/4 (blahblah, netscape 4) I got the netscape 4 version of the page and it all worked fine. Now I have to set the agent string to be IE to get in (because they know netscape 4 doesnt start with Mozilla/5), and the site is unusable in IE mode (which makes sense). If people are going to be playing around with their user agent, they know that what they are doing is special in some way because it isnt an option on any menus, so I dont see any reason for not allowing you to say Mozilla/4.0
Are you sure it is a spammer and not just someone you know who doesnt realise that 'anonymous SMS flirting' is a waste of money? I know O2 have one (they seem to call it 'TXT flirt'). I suppose you could call it spam because you recieve it from a service that you have not asked to be a part of, but that would be like calling the 'Email this story to a friend' links on news sites spam too.

If only 6's looked enough like b's then I could have done a little 2b or not 2b joke. oh well.
Would per-window VNC really make it go faster? (which is what I am guessing your reason for limiting bandwidth is:) ) The time for the initial screen to come up would be less, but after that its no different unless you get bored and start dragging windows around the screen.
I can't think of any reason why it would not be possible for this though, VNCserver should be able to work out where the window you want is and how big it is pretty easily, and then just grab and send you that area - that sounds more like a last resort idea though:)
I wonder what Marketing will do when the dooms day comes where they run out of letters.
Well, its microsoft, they would just invent new letters and most people who use their products would start using these new letters which would force other people to upgrade to the new alphabet or they will not be able to write to each other.
You can get the drivers from here. Part of it is in recent kernels, but theres a binary only module that lets you get the higher res / higher frame rates out of it. The guy who made the linux driver has also made some little control program for it too that lets you change camera settings on the fly (camstream). The webcam I have been using is a Philips ToUcam Pro PCVC740K which costs about £50 (~$75 US) at the moment, other webcams are supported by the philips driver though (not just philips ones)
Why, in England, is router said as root-er (the networky kind) and a router (the cutting kind) is said as, um, row-ter (where 'row' is the kind of thing you may have with your girlfriend/wife, not like the boat, which you row) - the way Americans say router (the networky kind). Who was it that came up with the idea to make written english so bloody (read: 'damn') confusing?

I bet they are a bit overpowered to just be running mutt.. that is whats on that little screen there, right?

You can see the email from eBay to George Hotelling here, at his site as well as his reply.
It wouldn't be called the OK button if it wasnt OK to press it! right?
it has to be, or are we all going to be comiling the kernels we download frrom kernel.org now?
If ya know what I mean.
No, please explain.
because the RIAA would never think of just using some free dialup account for seeing what they can find on kazaa?

Are you sure he said that?
But after all that work they went and stuck XP on it instead of some BSD, poor little mac wannabe.

The thing is that SPAM works! If it wasn't profitable no one would bother with it but, it is profitable.
So is selling illegal drugs, but at least with that the customers come to you.. um, to them, i mean.

You mean like the riaa IIS server? I dont think that had anything to do with the server, see

This is as bad as the MP3 whiners. Want free music? Make some, and give it away. Problem solved.
