So far as I can tell this is mostly just html4.1 plus some web-fonts thrown in (which is properly css3), and a bunch of mostly browser-specific css. Not really html5. They mention canvas in their introduction, but I haven't come across an example.
Certainly looks better than the flash, but take a look at the source code and it'll make your eyes bleed. So much for semantic code - there are spans and divs up the wazoo.
We could argue over defintions (since what you're describing there I would never consider as 'communism') but let me just say this: I'm against capitalism because it places control of economic (and, to a great degree, political) life in the hands of a small economic elite. Why would I think that placing the control of both economic and political life into the hands of a political elite would be any better?
...and this isn't the conclusion that I immediately jumped to - the discovery of dark matter. It's merely the discovery of the visible matter that they though should always be there.
Actually, I'm pretty sure it's still just a money pit. Except now the money going into the pit is coming from a bunch of rich pricks as opposed the State.
Nothing of actual value is being produced except for, well, the profit Virgin is making from its pit. Seems somehow circular to me.
I suspect it is because the government has $1.5 billion awaiting to be awarded to an ISP or ISPs to implement a next generation broadband network across the country. They're all biting at the bit to be awarded part of the contract, and I suspect that they think complying with a voluntary filter will increase their chances.
More a case of the carrot than the stick, and politics carries on as usual.
Le Guin should take a lesson from her own books. Her novel The Dispossessed portrayed an (imperfect) anarchist-communist society, in which no one owned a thing. They adhered to the maxim "property is theft." In fact, I believe she once claimed that, of all the political theories, anarchist-communism was the one that appealed to her most.
I've just today been reading up on SPF records. My problem is that mail coming from a new server we've set up is being spammed by Big Mail (Gmail, Hotmail, etc.).
The server has a primary domain (domain.com) but many other domains are hosted on it too (eg. mine.com). When I try to send mail with the from field set to me@mine.com (as opposed to me@domain.com) it gets spammed.
We're not on any blacklists, the A records for mine.com point to domain.com as do the MX records, domain.com has PTR records, and I've just put in a SPF record for mine.com.
AFAIK, Handbrake only uses VLC's version of libdvdcss to decrypt encrypted DVDs. And this was purely for legal reasons. Handbrake does its own decoding.
I'm also a bit confused. I've never used PGP to make an encrypted zip file, but I use GnuPG to encrypt emails all the time and I, too, was under the impression that it was infeasible in practice to brute force the encryption.
Is the difference that with PGP/GnuPG email encryption, our passwords are merely decrypting our keys which are themselves fully 128 or 256 bits long or whatever? Whereas in this situation with the ZIP file there was no separate key - the password was the key? (I haven't read all of TFA)
Based on my reading of the article, it will detect congestion at any point along the route. If you have several computers behind a NAT router all sharing the same internet connection, and one of those computers is using this new BT protocol, it'll detect if it's congesting the gateway and reduce its speed.
So, yes, it'll improve the network performance of any non-BT apps on any of the other computers in your local network.
I already have an old G4 Mac Mini sitting in the corner of my lounge. It's running Debian and hosts a number of community websites without a problem, is a permanent torrent server and hosts several code repos. It runs perfectly fine for these sorts of jobs. Plus, it's virtually unnoticeable with just a power cord and an ethernet cable connected to it. Personally, I love it.
If h.264 were royalty free, no doubt it would be supported. But as it stands, only those with deep pockets can pay the licensing fees — and that goes for both those providing the decoders as well as those simply hosting (broadcasting) h.264 encoded content.

Which way do your toilets flush down there? Clockwise or anti-clockwise?

The CNN article states that the fireball was visible for about 15 minutes. That seems awfully long for a meteor.
You're jumping the gun there.

I'm pretty sure it's actually the lack of democracy (for lack of a better word) coupled with the dynamics of capitalism that have us in this hole.

A little off-topic, but I was wondering if anyone knows if a GrandCentral clone may be coming to Linux?
I know FreeBSD has integrated libdispatch into their kernel, but due to licensing issues this can't be done with the Linux kernel.

Well thank frak.

Pity.
Debian uses spatial by default. I know, because it's about the first thing I change on a fresh install.

So far no luck. Sigh.

I feel compelled to correct your signature:
I believe it's "for all intents and purposes", which would make more sense too.
The article you're probably thinking of is State of Sound in Linux Not So Sorry After All.
It's all about the IP and the patents!

Monty from Xiph has provided an update on the state of the upcoming 1.1 release. It makes for interesting reading.
