I don't understand how an ad server can make a site slow, even if the ad server is slow in serving up an ad. So you have one externally loaded element (the ad) that is an image or a flash element. The browser allocates the space for the image or flash element in the location where it'll be rendered. When it finishes loading your browser draws it in the appropriate place. So it takes a little longer for one or two images to appear in the already displayed page. I don't see what the problem is for the end-user.
Still, it's the job of the Slashdot editors to read and correct the submissions. If they aren't going to do that then we might as well switch to a Kuro5hin type system where everyone votes on what stories make it to the front page. That way we could get rid of the editors entirely.
Is there a reason that it should not be dumbed down? Should it be kept difficult for some reason? If a person can adequately express their problem and how it should be solved to a computer, and the computer can take that expression and solve the programmer's problem, I don't see what the issue is.
That is because Illustrator's native format is pdf. Honestly, mate, I own and use Illustrator and it is NOT the case that illustrator doesn't have gotchas or strange UI decisions.
You obviously don't use Illustrator or you'd know that Illustrator uses it's own format with a.ai extension, not PDF, for saving files.
Still on the site is the story of how some guy killed and ate a cat (is that even legal?), but that is ofc fine, however the guy posting an innuendo obviously went too far!
What did you expect? It's the USA. Violence is okay but anything to do with sexuality is not. Yet somehow, even though Americans see sex as a terrible, terrible thing, they still manage to reproduce.
So they go from hosting a tracker to hosting a bootstrap node that gives clients access to the DHT swarm?
No. The bootstrapping node is hosted by the BitTorrent client manufacturer. You'd know that if you had RTFA since it describes how it works for both mainline and Azureus as examples.
Like most companies, Apple doesn't use half of their patents. Hopefully, this will be one of those unused ones.
Maybe patents should be like trademarks. You have to use it and keep using it to keep it valid. If you stop using it, or fail to begin using it, for a period of time then the patent expires.
I know the bad ones copy the lesson plans out of the back of the text and are headed out the door as soon as their union obligated hours are done. The good ones spend countless hours of their own time at home, on the weekends, during winter, spring and summer break, creating new and innovative ways to engage their students.
That's your metric for what makes a good or bad teacher? What if the students taught by the bad teacher perform just as well as the good teacher. Is the "bad" teacher still bad?
But, I cant fault someone for wanting to get paid for there time.
That is irrelevant to what I was quoting and responding to. The posted stated things that required cookies and I correctly responded that those things could be found in the server logs.
If you are running an Amazon affiliate program you should have no problem telling your users that by clicking on the link to the product you are recommending that you get a portion of the sale. If you can't admit to that, then you aren't being honest with your users.
How is not telling them being dishonest? They pay the same price for the product whether the affiliate gets a cut or not. It's none of the buyer's business how Amazon divvies up the revenue.
Most sites have 60%+ visits coming from Google in the middle of the site, to do any usability testing they need to know where they arrived to focus that usability. To get this information you need to have cookies.
You don't need cookies for that. All that information, including where they come from and what search terms they used, are stored in the web server log files.

To where? As he said in the summary, "I will not have a system at home to connect through."

And they want us to subscribe. For what?
What's the point in the screenshots? It looks like every other GNOME desktop. (or KDE desktop for the KDE screenshots)

Remember to halve any sales figures that Microsoft releases due to how they constantly misrepresent and mis-measure their actual sales.
why is SSH being installed with a default password left in place? Talk about asking for trouble.
Who the hell smokes indoors? That's fucked up.
Awesome! Thanks very much for the link.
It's a pejorative term used to describe people with a disability.
It's not 1950 anymore. No one delivers milk door to door.
What did you expect? It's the USA. Violence is okay but anything to do with sexuality is not. Yet somehow, even though Americans see sex as a terrible, terrible thing, they still manage to reproduce.
The upside would be having a software program whose name is not a pejorative term in the English language.
Wow, that's nice to have the dials to manipulate 3D objects. Is there anything like that which someone can buy today?
No. The bootstrapping node is hosted by the BitTorrent client manufacturer. You'd know that if you had RTFA since it describes how it works for both mainline and Azureus as examples.
+5, Insightful.

Don't Confuse "Utmost" with "Upmost"
Or make it so you can only mod one comment per story.
