- Do they breach copyright by presenting cached content? (I think they do)
I doubt it. It presents the information with the owner's names/copyright, and even with an original URL to point to so you can get to the source if it gets back online again.
- The Google cache is causing publishers to lose control over their material.
What about archive.org then? No, publishes don't lose control. The cache gets updated quite frequently.
According to that applet, it will cross earth orbit somewhere around Jan 28 and be somewhat like 0.083 AU [1] away from us. That's a pretty near miss, but still nothing to worry about. 12 million kilometers is quite a distance away from us.
1) It's only a root exploit if Apache is running as root. Neither I nor anyone I know runs Apache as root. I think the default is "nobody". "nobody" can't install a root kit. So it was only a root exploit if somone made apache run as root on purpose?
Actually, apache _does_ run as root in the beginning to seize a priviledged port. But having a scriptkiddie romping around on your box as 'nobody' is just as bad. Did you know that local root exploits are more prevalent than remote root ones?

The code for this is here. I know it's not really a representative benchmark, but it does show the point somewhat. And yes, using a temp variable is hella faster.
Now, what you really want to do is push all GIS companies to be able to import/export GML, now that would be nice.
Well, since I am currently involved in the building of a GIS solution (that could possibly end up under an open source license in the future), could you provide links? I'm interested.
have basically the same question about PDF generation. Does OpenOffice use its own PDF generator, or does it use Adobe's, or what?
Does it matter? Unlike the MS word format, the PDF file format is open and can be generated quite easily and reliably without the papal sanction of Adobe.
Yeah that would be cool. Being able to compile your Kylix C++ projects with a makefile/autoconf system and assorted Kylix libraries/components/whatever without needing the complete IDE/RAD environment.
Although I wouldn't turn up my nose at the Borland compiler, it's a fast one, and it produces tight and good code.
So now you guys in the US have someone in the government that is fighting windmills.
We have some guys just like that in our gov/police in.nl as well though. According to them, us hackers are 'staatsgevaarlijke anarchisten'. Usually these people aren't taken seriously by people that _do_ know what they are dealing with. And hopefully for you USians that gov chapter has some people with a clue that can set the facts straight.
Yeah, but they are only for audio and video streaming. Not really useful if you run your own webserver due to protocol issues.
The best thing he can do is either:
switch to a better ISP
Use another box to run a unix based OS with a better suited QoS/packet scheduler/shaper combination on it and have that provide the routing/natting for his home network.
The second approach might set him back a couple of bucks, but he'll get so much in return.The benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
Maybe he should look into switching ISP's. The cool thing with *DSL is that you actually have a choice about who your ISP is. Take the sitation where I live in.nl for example, where cable internet is restricted to one ISP that can totally screw you over and leave you groaning and paying the bill. Signing up for DSL is the perfect way to give those scamming crappy cable ISP's the middle finger and to tell them to stick their cable where the sun don't shine. But that's just the situation here in the low lands. I am digressing...
If there's an other ISP that gives you high bandwidth with xDSL that does capping in a reasonable way (i.e. I'm capped at 256 kbit upstream while having 1 Mbit down) I say switch.
You have a point. But it still has issues when you are a U.S. citizen or not... At least, when I was downloading the roxen webserver (which is very nice btw, give it a whirl when you have a chance) they asked me if I was a U.S. citizen or not, regarding the LZW compression stuff.
As for mass revolt against the JPEG format, the GIF controversy came to light in 1994. Eight years later and it's still the most widely-used graphics format that provides consistently-supported (if mediocre) implementations for transparency and simple animation.
Yes, GIF, but without LZW compression. It's the LZW thing you need to take heed of. If you use uncompressed GIF's you are not infringing anyone's patent. Same goes for JPEG, btw...
I have to admit both image formats are quite useless to most of us with the compression chucked out of 'em.

B8 00 4C CD 21 is x86 asm for:
MOV AX, 4c00h
INT 21h
What's so scary about that? It's just returning control to DOS.
Literally translated, 'staatsgevaarlijk' means: "A danger to the state". I think that says it all really.
And on top of that, they gave me an extra year for free for transferring to them. How nice of them :)
Also, if you're condemned to Solaris, like me, then Pappillon is another option.
And disconnect it from the network. Oh better yet, leave it turned off...

I have no clue what you are talking about... ;)
Only if they provide tags I will. If they have these corny "Hello, I am " stickers/tags, I will blatantly refuse...
Nobody will disagree with you either.

That leaves you with only one option: just try it :)

PNG's anyone?
OTOH, wasn't JPEG a format spawned by the Joint Pictures Expert Group, and supposed to be an open format?

It's still free, so go ahead.

Congrats David!
Allowing _only_ icmp udp and tcp will break your ipv6 setup if you have one.
People that don't use IPv6 should ofcourse ignore my advice :)
