Then either you're serving your pages with the wrong MIME type, or they can't be seen in IE at all.
You're not supposed to serve XHTML 1.1 as text/html: you should use application/xhtml+xml. See the W3C's XHTML Media Types. If you're labelling your XHTML 1.1 as text/html, then your browser isn't treating it as XML (note that Mozilla is using Quirks mode, for instance).
Snag is, Internet Exploder (to IE6SP1) doesn't know what to do with application/xhtml+xml, even though there's been a built-in XML parser since IE5, and application/xhtml+xml was defined in RFC 3236 over 2 years ago (and was presumably floating around the standards track for some months before that). But don't worry: just remember that Internet Explorer 6 SP1 gives you the freedom to experience the best of the Internet. At least, that's what it says on the box.
Assuming you're not prepared to be held hostage to the Great Beast, the best workaround at the moment seems to be to use Apache's content negotiation (MultiViews) to lie to IE (and anything else that doesn't know about application/xhtml+xml) that you're giving it text/html.
I guess if the USA ever adopts tidal farms, future generations can look forward to a president (massively funded by the tide industry, of course) attempting to derail any action over Global Slowing...
When spring arrives, dry ice turns directly to vapor first, particularly since the thin Martian atmosphere is nearly 100 times less dense than Earth's.
The density of the atmosphere don't come into it: CO2 sublimes quite happily on Earth. That's why it's called dry ice.
...rapid improvements in computer price/performance ratios over the past decade call into question the adequacy of the present UNIX password algorithm.
Given 20 machines and the numbers above, it is probably reasonable to do an exhaustive search of passwords of length 7-8 lower-case letters, 7 lower-case letters and numbers, 6 alpha-numeric characters, 5-6 printable characters, or 5 ASCII characters. The moral is keep your passwords 8 characters long or use lots of unusual characters, but in no circumstance use less than 6 characters. Of course, if the crypt/second/dollar ratio increases by another five orders of magnitude in the next decade, only eight-character passwords that utilize the entire ASCII character set will be immune from brute-force cracking!
I don't know what software improvements have been made to crypt since 1989, but Moore's law alone should give us 2.5 orders of magnitude hardware improvements in 13 years.
Seventh Edition password encryption is long past its use by date. Apple need to do better.
A growing forest removes some CO2 from the atmosphere. A mature forest is carbon neutral (over human timescales, anyway). How long before we run out of room to plant new forests?
Indeed. The conjunction of the various articles linked to would seem to imply that we don't need the Kepler mission: if you just have a snack at night, and avoid drinking, smoking, and high altitudes you'll soon be spotting Earth-sized planets with your naked eye.
Has it not occurred to you that the poorest nation on Earth might, despite its poverty, have a University or several? (This concept is known as social inequality. I understand that, even beyond the golden door, still the odd item of wretched refuse lingers, so you should be able to grasp it.)
Maybe, just maybe, one or two of this nation's citizens are as smart / fit / sociable / whatever as - gasp! - an American.
The word it's, being a contraction of it is, has an apostrophe.
The word its, meaning belonging to it has no more apostrophes than his.
I know this is boring pedantry, which will be modded off topic. But the article in question misapostrophises its 9 (nine!) times, compared with 5 correct uses.
A while ago I tried to find a Sorenson decoder that I could actually run on my computer. From what I could discover, Sorenson is completely proprietary: Windows yup, MacOS yup, rest of the world forget it.
If you think the IOCCC is mostly about ?:, then I don't think you've looked at enough entries! There is some truly twisted code in there, exploring every syntactic and semantic corner of the language.
I doubt that other languages offer the same possibilities for befuddlement as C, but there's only one way to find out...
But what is the point? Anyone with an internet connection will have no doubt experienced the instability.
The point, is clearly stated in the article:
Contrary to conventional wisdom, what were thought to be purely traffic-based denials of service in fact are seen to generate widespread end-to-end routing instability originating at the Internet's edge.
Maybe the "highway" analogy works here. Everybody knows that the Internet goes all flaky during worm propagation, but it's been assumed that this is simply due to too much traffic. This report is saying that it's more fundamental than that: during worm propagation, for as yet unknown reasons, many of the direction signs disappear at the intersections! Not only are the roads full, but many of the cars can't find where they're meant to be going...
I think you're having a neurological meltdown. WNT borrows some ideas (but not code) from VMS. But what on Earth makes you think VMS is a "true Unix"? I can't think of anything in VMS that is remotely like Unix...
``And there's more: New Improved Internet II connects seamlessly to the existing Internet...'' because they use the same protocols, right?
I saw no evidence in the article that they are running anything other than IPv4 over this fat network. Or doing anything "interesting". I'm sure it's a lovely part of the Internet to be on, but that's all.

There's more on this here and here.

Hmm... let's see:
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory
0
Yet my system seems to work fine, without "absurd" amounts of swap (256M, to be precise).
Overcommiting VM is a disastrous sop to faulty applications. It has no place in a reliable system.
