    Well, DNSSEC is available, kind of. Atleast the root will be signed this year.

    If you have a forwarder on localhost with up to date keys and which does checking, you can use that just fine.

    A VM does not add to security, also a LiveCD doesn't either. If the LiveCD gets cracked by a Firefox and Linux exploit you can still write to HD.

    Google could release V8, as Google bought On2. After all Theora is based on V5 which was released to the open source community by On2 as well.

    It all depends on what the patent holders will do with H.264. I think they decide by year if people should pay up.

    Also Google has renewed it's deal with Mozilla until 2012 starts, no one knows what will happen after that.

    Well, I had a look.

    The second is, Hulu. As I'm outside the US it won't show me anything, I doubt they left any clues about how I can still download it.

    The first uses a streaming over tcp on port 80, but isn't HTTP. So it uses it's own protocol and so when all you have is access to a HTTP-proxy, you won't be able to view it. Seems to be a Apache-webserver with Flash-streaming-server-proxy.

    hmm...

    How nice and readable ! ;-)

    I deal with javascript pretty much everyday and like it, but even I think it was ugly the first time I looked at it.

    A second look just tells me the indention would really help here.

    db.things.find ( {x:4}, {j:true} ).forEach (
          function (x) {
              print ( tojson(x) );
          }
    );

    I can see how that would work with map/reduce.

    Not sure about agriculture in general, but the animals for meat products are probably the biggest carbon-dioxide producers of all.

    So if things really are as bad as some people who talk about the climate say, then yes, maybe agriculture was a really bad decision.

    But I won't hold it against them, all though the indians were good examples how to life with the earth and they tried to tell us.

    I've also not seen anyone mentioned ZFS on OpenSolaris. When your files gets larger, you more easily get corruption in your files. So might want to have something that will keep an idea out for that. Why not use OpenSolaris as a NAS/whatever with ZFS as it's filesystem.

    The browser-choice-screen is a windows update, maybe they'll also add an update to the IE random-number-generator. So maybe all these checks people are doing just don't tell you anything. Doubt it though. ;-)
