1&1 is a terrible host - I write a moderately popular WordPress plugin, and the only host-specific bug reports I get are for 1&1 - even shitty GoDaddy hosting is better.
It reminds me of DragonDictate, in that there is no connection between what I say and what it thinks I said. Google Voice Search does a better job of imitating Siri than Iris does.
If you don't want your preferences going to Labor, vote below the line.
Greens are currently on course to hold the balance of power in the senate. They've said many times that they're for the NBN, but they will block any attempt to implement the net filter.
The point is that someone, or a group of someones, would have to read and understand the entire tax system. Massive accounting firms have trouble with that, never mind a small group of part-time developers.
IANAL, but added to that, regardless of what "use at own risk" messages they add, the developers would find themselves legally liable for any errors that cause people to submit the wrong details.
e-Tax has been available from the Australia Taxation Office for several years. Building an open source version is not an option, given that Australian tax law is somewhere in the vicinity of 10,000 pages.
e-Tax is one of the few reasons I still keep a Windows box.
First of all, the malicious page must be opened, and remain open. Once a second, it will check for a window with the same name as the one it is trying to take over. If it exists, it will re-write the page it is loading.
Ways to defeat it:
Don't have the malicious site open.
The site can give random names to the window.
This is really just another case of a "security" firm beating up something that has existed for ages as a "flaw".

CSS for the LDP?
·
· Score: 1
Do you mean the articles on A List Apart that did the front page? It wasn't particularly useful as more than a proof of concept, as it didn't take into account a) all the other areas of Slash, and b) that Slash is based on templates, so it's not just a matter removing the formatting from the HTML, and sticking it in a CSS file.

CSS for the LDP?

· Score: 2, Informative
Last time I looked, which wasn't recently, CSS did not provide all the parameters necessary for page markup. For example, there was no way to change the spacing (leading) before paragraphs or after paragraphs.
That has been supported since CSS1, (released in 1996), in the form of padding or margin properties of an paragraph element. Leading of individual lines within a paragraph is also supported, in the form of the line-height property, also in CSS1.
There shouldn't actually be any formatting in the HTML. HTML (and XHTML, for that matter) are Markup Languages, not formatting languages. If you want to determine how the page looks, then yes, you should use CSS. This also makes it easier to transform the LDP into other formats, as it's simply a matter of changing the CSS file.
Admittedly, this is something of a hardline view. I don't think it's a particularly unreasonable one, though. I'm currently re-writing Slashdot's old HTML to be XHTML/CSS. It's by no means an easy job, but I would argue that the potential gains (less bandwidth, easier to change styles, seperating formatting from content) are worth it.
The new IP is 64.28.76.48 From where I am (Melbourne, Australia) this has a ping of approx. 800ms (ATM). This is in comparison to the old IP, which took around 1000ms, a saving of 20%! Good work, guys! -------------------------------------------

VideoPress will keep your framerate, up to 100fps.
Disclosure: I work for Automattic, the company that makes VideoPress.
Also, remember that porn featuring women with small breasts is considered child porn in Australia.
No it isn't, stop repeating every stupid thing you saw on Reddit.
Porn where women are depicted as being under-age is simply refused classification. There is a vast difference.

Q. I don't live in the U.S. Can I buy a nook?
No. At this time, nook is not for sale outside the U.S.
Well, that sucks. It's not going to kill the Kindle if 95% of the world's population can't use it.
We all know how the last ziggurat turned out.

Actually, we're getting substandard teaching. But that's a personal gripe.
Though I'm looking forward to getting above standard teaching when I do Perl next year. So, about my marks... *grins*
