What's your point? Using humans to compute hashes for give e-mail addresses? Letting the spam victims input their data themselves?
Either approach is silly on a large scale. TFA says that computing a hash on a modern CPU takes less than a second. If you provide the infrastructure to serve an input form that deals with the needed amount of hashes, you can as well compute them yourself. Let alone getting enough users to actually visit your form.
Why are they doing that mistake over and over again? They are talking about a method that's computationally expensive, yet they "save" 2 bytes by using 040927 instead of 20040927.
Why exactly is it that the extension API changes from one RC to another, anyway?
Can anyone clue me in as to why the googlebar can't possibly work on RC2 and 1.0 when it did on RC1?
Other projects adhere to some strict rules à la no API breakage in branch x and then comes Firefox and things break from one RC to another? What am I missing?
A simple binary download does very little to help the competition, a source library, however, tells volumes.
But this is not about source at all! It's not about drivers, it's about firmware binaries which get uploaded by the driver and are never available as source. All they asked was for those binaries to be redistributable, not to open source them.
Excuse me but georgewbush.com redirects me to www.georgewbush.com, which in turn blocks me. _BUT_ I can read the site using just the ip address just fine.
Easy blocking curcumvention? Will Georgie invade my country now because I violated DMCA?
Sorry, I somehow misread that as "chunked in the sense that every x blocks/frames/seconds there is a new chunk" much like MP3. A basic WAV file is a small fmt chunk followed by one huge data chunk which got stuck in my head as "a header and then only pure data".
To me this is "unnecessary choice". The choices only evolve because the existing procedures fail at particular tasks. Why not develop, for example, a clean, comprehendable, human as well as machine usable startup system to handle services so that one distribution could act as a server or desktop.
Hell, isn't this the purpose of the SysV init system, to provide a separate runlevel for X as well as a stripped down network-and-servers-only runlevel?
Choice is bad where it limits interoperability. You don't see browsers speaking Debian-HTTP, Redhat-HTTP or SuSE-HTTP, do you?
People seem to confuse choice with not-a-standard sometimes.
Well, my manual only mentions 192.168.1.245 as the default address. Even if it didn't mention any address, you could always hook a PC to the ethernet port and run tcpdump when you turn on the AP. I think you will see some activity that leads to the address it is using, but I don't know for sure right now.

the link count for the file is 3, so it's less, more, and what else?
Yes, not only are more and less more or less the same, but there's actually more to it! And it's nothing less than page(1).
Thank you.

You probably bookmark your A/C posts so you can slip back and check them.
Eh, there are people that don't do this? Not doing it would be like admitting you don't actually want to participate in a discussion but rather just troll and fire-and-forget remarks.
AC is not automatically troll or don't-bother-reading. Not for me at least.

I don't get it.
One thing that caught my eye:
X-Hashcash: 1:20:040927:mertz@gnosis.cx::odVZhQMP:7ca28

but I'm more than happy to let a nameless FreeBSD ports maintainer (I have a few myself) do the hard work for me
You think slavery is fun, huh? Which maintainers are you hiding exactly? I will report you!

OK slashdot crowd, on to addlebrain.com to give it a good slashdotting.
Apparently, they run IIS/6.0. Maybe the guys with darker-than-white hats can give it a free "auditing" *nudge*nudge*wink*wink*.
Lame rip off of a joke.
No.
Next question please.
No, even the mascot is referred to as daemon, as in the friendly daemon, not the evil demon.
I've been trying to get my feet wet with this WiX stuff, but really the documentation is extremely lacking.

Since I turn off cookies except where needed, this doesn't work for me. And what for is that View -> Use Style menu in mozilla anyway?
Styles via cookies, an ugly approach if you ask me.

You don't.
