  1. AOL already has free webmail on AOL Plans to Offer Free Webmail · · Score: 2, Informative

    AOL owns and operates netscape.net, which offers webmail and other services. Every AIM account has a corresponding netscape.net email account. If you register the Netscape browser, you create an AIM screenname and therefore a netscape.net email account.

    Choosy mothers choose Gif!

  3. Cable can also go out in bad weather on Cable TV Versus Satellite TV? · · Score: 1

    Back when I had cable, it also went out in bad weather. When it did, you almost always needed to request a remote reset from the cable company. They had an option for this in the voice mail menus on the Customer Support number, but thunderstorms often knocked the voice mail offline too, and there were no people answering phones evenings and weekends, so a Friday night storm could hose you all weekend. That's what drove me to DSS, it was only out during heavy rain/snow and came back as soon as the storm let up.

    YMMV

  4. IntelliShield on A Central Repository for Virus Information? · · Score: 2, Informative
    Is there a place that I can go that digests the latest threats and information down in to a nice, clean webpage?

    TruSecure IntelliShield is one such service, but it is not free. It pulls together information about a vulnerability from various vendors, mailing lists, and such, and puts it all under one issue. It also has alerts and a shared task list for managing your organization's response to a vulnerability. The alerts can be useful given the fast-spreading nature of recent worms. The task list is less useful since organizations large enough to benefit from it probably have something similar internally.

    I have no affiliation with TruSecure, yadda yadda yadda, I just previewed their service for a former employer.

  5. Temporal denial of service on Apache 2.0.47 Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    Certain errors returned by accept() on rarely accessed ports could cause temporal denial of service, due to a bug in the prefork MPM.

    Heh. Temporal denial of service... sounds like a Star Trek plot device.

  6. Re:WWDC? on Massive WWDC Rumor Roundup · · Score: 1

    I thought Apple was snapping up DC-101 for iTunes...
