Thank you for your service. It won't change the poster, but it will help preserve the proper memory of Ben Franklin -- for if he DID speak against the Jews that would be a blight on his person.
Whoa! Please don't judge American society by Bangor, Maine!
Take a driving tour throughout the US this summer. (Get some ideas from Philip Greenspun's travelogues). There's a lot more to the US (good and bad -- for the latter, be sure to visit where I live: Los Angeles) than Bangor.
My brother in law is currently in Spain, having travelled through most of Europe over the past year. If he decried the culture of Europe based on his initial impressions of Malaga, would you complain a bit? Sure.

my grandfather...told me precisely nothing about what they did there. The only story he ever related...
My grandfather worked in counter-intelligence for the US in Berlin during the beginning of the Cold War. He only told me two stories before he passed (last year).
The first, regarded the capture of an East German spy in the US-controlled area of Berlin. The spy was attempting to recruit during the interrogation -- even though he was treated to smokes instead of the firing squad if the roles had been reversed. That particularly incensed my granddad. Oh, and I learn from his story that they did indeed have underground "city" with car-sized elevators in residential garages.
The second story was about planting a bug in an apartment shared by a US Colonel and a known East German spy (female). Anyway, they sent a team in while the couple went to dinner (why bother going out? Anyway...) and since the woman had a dog the team brought a piece of steak to calm it down. Turned out the dog was friendly. Upon leaving the apartment and checking that everything was back in place they signalled to drop back from following the couple. Minutes later the team screamed to regain contact -- they forgot the steak! "Hunny, did you put that steak there or are we being watched?"
That's it. Oh, he did describe the inside of the regional FEMA nuke hide out -- that only he and not even my grandmother had access to in case of nuclear attack. I remember that everything was on springs -- including the pictures (they had pictures on walls for use when everone topside would fry? Enjoy that Van Gough!) and the toilets.
It must be the culture. He just didn't talk about his experiences. As far as I know those secrets made it undiscovered to the grave with him.
Read the article; watch the video. This was covered: they will use precision reflectors. Actually could be easier than bending pipe, if you think about it.
The video (which I was able to see) reported a two-second lase "drilling" a 5 inch hole in sandstone (near-field). So; 70 second lase would gain you ~14 feet. Whoo Hoo!
Nice sentiment. Too bad it isn't true. I would bet that 90% of/. traffic has a UserAgent string =~/MSIE/.
I'm using IE5 right now, too. However, I usually use Konc or Netscape 4.7x under Linux. Doesn't matter. My traffic logs are closing in on 100% MSIE. Does/. publish it's access_log stats?
Anyway, give it up. Even Opera allows users to specify the UserAgent field (and defaults to MSIE). Heck, Mozilla supports InnerHTML (not W3C compliant).
Compact Flash memory is morte reliable than delicate hard disks? Granted, that's true in a laptop/handheld which expects to be jostled about...but my rack mounted servers I expect to stay put (even in quake-y CA). CF is a destructive medium -- what's it, 10,000 writes? Not what I want to use as a swap partition, thank you very much!
Could we wait until we can actually have reliable reception before making the dead zones? Please?
As to irritating cell-phoners...we need to expand the smoking-section rules to include all mouth-oriented vices that encroach on the rights of innocent bystanders.
My question exactly. I even went looking for it on www.networkworld.com (don't bother -- but, if you find it there, let me know!) and, since it's a "sister publication to InfoWorld" I looked in the InfoWorld Test Center. Nada.
So, asking again for emphasis, Where is the article?
How stupid it is to trust client systems -- those outside your control -- with server data. How many developers think, "well, the data originated with my server so I can read it from the client and trust it..."?
Allow client systems to pass client-domain data but never entrust server-domain data to the client.
The problem is state control. HTTP is stateless, so the short-cut is to store the server-issued data on the client (either in hidden input fields, the URL, or something similar). Usually those who fall for this error don't realize that you can connect to a httpd port with telnet...
Work around this by, one example, using a server-supplied transaction id to provide context for the server. This id can be stored on the client and used to re-establish application context. The threat of someone iterating through ids is low -- and can be thwarted (timeout, IP matching, client authentication, etc).
If you are allowing clients to maintain data integrity, you have none.
Whether its the right knee or the left knee, both are subject to reflexive jerking. Mr. Katz raises an excellent question -- do we wish to invite gov't control of software and technology out of our (reasonable) disdain for Microsoft? Is the remedy worse than the disease?
Remember, once the gov't is entrenched in an area, disengagement is rare.
What is interesting is how other "market" forces (namely, Open Source) are making inroads against the monopoly that Microsoft holds. Could the gov't ever remedy the MSFT monopoly as well as the vast legions of Gnu developers? No way.
If the current ruling stands what will happen to KDE for "tying" Konqueror to its window manager? What about Gnome with Eazel and Mozilla? Please keep the gov't out of my $HOME.
Yes, I own MSFT stock. I bought it at $90 and $70. Yes, I'd like to see the price back up at $119. No, I don't think it ever will. But, not because of this ill-conceived ruling but rather from the changing market conditions. The latest Netcraft survey shows Apache gaining and IIS losing. IDC reports that Windows server installations grew by 20%, while Linux grew by 24% last year -- that's after the big Win2K release. Other analysts point out that Win2K adoption is slower due to Linux. These factors cause me to doubt MSFT shares will rise to previously-hyped levels.
We don't need a gov't remedy to MSFT's monopoly. What's better will win.
The Unix culture (esp. the Free and Open parts) have little to no need for citiation management since this community disdains Intellectual Property, itself.
So, while YOU, personally, might not like smoke, there are others of us who CHOOSE to smoke and you
should have the courtesy to respect their needs as well.
Your choice to smoke ends where my lungs begin. End of story.
I'm sick of selfish people who argue for their rights without any consideration of the rights of those around them. I imagine you would argue that the ban against boom boxes on buses is also an offensive deprivation of your freedom of choice, since you choose to blast music. Wearing headphones solves the problem in that case -- so, develop a similar solution for smoking and I'll fight for your right to smoke anywhere you wish. I choose not to have my air polluted with the your stench of your affectatious habit.
Wanna smoke near me? Use a containment device or forget it.

They did lay off developers. They laid off marketing driods and the like.
Please read more than titles of news events...

If you don't understand my above post, read this. (I bet someone thinks it's off-topic)
SashXB for Linux is a LGPL-licensed project that uses Gnome and Mozilla (my guess was right there). It's becoming real, apparently.
Ok..time to give Sash another run around the block.

Good point. The idea of hypertext (and, derivatively [sp?], HTML's tag) seems to facilitate this idea of knowledge chain.
[Just kidding...]

That's true. I also left out the entity-crisis most HTML coders will encounter with XML, but, hey, it's a 3 minute guide! ;-)
BTW, in case the little ditty at the beginning left you saying WhatThe? This Google search will be helpful...
