Oh boy, not this argument again. We hear this far too often. "If you didn't work for it, you must be a crappy administrator." Great argument(implied sarcasm). Newsflash: Ease-of-install doesn't make crappy administrators, crappy administrators make crappy administrators.
Programs that are difficult to install aren't better because they "require you to know what you're doing." The developers of those products have simply avoided the work of making the install easy and left it to you the admin to do more work. Don't confuse lack of an easy install with a feature. Samba may be the greatest thing in the free world, but the.conf file with no gui front-end isn't a "feature".
It saddens me this kind of elitist junk gets moderated as interesting. This is the kind of thinking that keeps Microsoft on top. They know better. Their products may not be perfect, but at least the average person can use them and administrate them. More people capable of functioning as an admin is precisely why companies and home users stick with Microsoft products.
And before you flame me, my PC runs Gentoo Linux, my laptop runs Ubuntu Linux, my handheld runs OpenZaurus Linux, my router runs Linux....I'm no Microsoft fanboy.
This is not a "Bluetooth is dead story." It is about a different product to suit a different application. Please read my post that you replied to, because you clearly miss the point.

But since you obviously don't read the articles, let me cover it for you: - Zigbee is power efficient. A ZigBee switch should be able to run off watch batteries for years. Bluetooth - HA! - Zigbee stack is a small 28k. Bluetooth's stack is 250k. - Zigbee networks can support up to 255 nodes, and can be switched to 16 bit addressing to support 65,000 nodes. Bluetooth can have 8 active nodes, 255 total. - Zigbee range is around 30 meters. Bluetooth is 10 meters. - Zigbee supports three network topologies (star, mesh, cluster tree). Bluetooth supports a dynamic piconet topology. - Zigbee enabled devices can be built cheaply. Bluetooth was *supposed* to be cheap. This is due to the short stack.
Zigbee is designed for a very specific application (switching, censors, controllers, etc.). And by this list, you can see that it was specifically designed to meet the needs of that application. Bluetooth does not and cannot support that application, just like Zigbee cannot support the application Bluetooth was designed for (cable replacement).
X interfered with technology Y, so lets crap on technology Z. How exactly is the parent insightful? This comment is FUD at its finest. Interference has less to do with the transport medium (air, copper) and everything to do with physics (frequencies, etc.). There's nothing to say that because machinery interfered with the signal in a cable that it will interfere with ZigBee going over the air.
By your logic, "My computer interferes with my AM radio. So I doubt wireless networking will work on my computer."

AFAIK you can't "crawl the DOM" across domains in any browser. So, no, you couldn't "crawl the DOM". So, I would think that your proposal of a dynamically generated name would in fact defeat this.
I think a much simpler way to defeat this might be using the "_new" name. Using _new opens a new window every time. I haven't tested it against this exploit, so YMMV.
Unchecking a default option in the second-most popular browser on the 'net fixes the problem. No problem indeed! Let's put this one to rest. It's obviously a non-story.

I used to have that problem with my Vonage phone, too. So let me explain this to you how you can clear up this problem. If you stop sharing 4 terrabytes of p0rn on Kazaa your phone won't lag so much.
You also can stop worrying that the clicking noise you hear is the RIAA/MIAA tapping your line.
are we seeing what will be the death of the entry level point and shoot digicam? How exactly does a device that likely costs upwards of $200 and packs an anual fee of upwards of $600 cause the death of a camera I just paid $150 for?

Netscape Reborn?

Because, AOL needs to have something to show for their acquisition of Netscape, and the Netscape brand is all they got. At the rate AOL is going (and by going, I mean down the crapper), the Netscape name may be the only thing Time Warner will have from the entire merger in the end.
Sex will never have the same feel as the first time, and I also look back on that fondly as well. But like Netscape, it was confusing, clunky, and came to an end long before I wanted it too. And just like Netscape, I am unwilling to pay for it.
I've had a GoVideo Networked DVD player, allowing me to play DivX and Xvid from network shares for about a year now. As for cheap, I purchased my GoVideo for $130 from buy.com. I love it Yes, it is nice that the LinkPlayer will also play encoded media from a CD or DVD, but this is hardly news-worthy. Not even all that interesting, because I wouldn't pay double for the extra features.

Good god people! I had this Santa Claus thing figured out by the time I was 24! What is your problem? Don't get out enough? Sheesh!
I heard Tim Allen was pretty funny in that one. ;-)
You heard wrong.

ogg support is one of thes non-mainstream features
How naive. Haven't you heard? 2005 is the year of Linux on the desktop!
If there was a god, there would be no lawyers to murder.
And by the time distros other than Gentoo have support for gtk+ 2.6.1, gtk+ 3.2.4 will be out.

I know you are telling a joke, but I'm not sure whether it is more humorous or innacurate.
I suggest reading a nice summary over at MIT Technology Review.
But since you obviously don't read the articles, let me cover it for you:
- Zigbee is power efficient. A ZigBee switch should be able to run off watch batteries for years. Bluetooth - HA!
- Zigbee stack is a small 28k. Bluetooth's stack is 250k.
- Zigbee networks can support up to 255 nodes, and can be switched to 16 bit addressing to support 65,000 nodes. Bluetooth can have 8 active nodes, 255 total.
- Zigbee range is around 30 meters. Bluetooth is 10 meters.
- Zigbee supports three network topologies (star, mesh, cluster tree). Bluetooth supports a dynamic piconet topology.
- Zigbee enabled devices can be built cheaply. Bluetooth was *supposed* to be cheap. This is due to the short stack.
And the list goes on. See the ZigBee FAQ.
Zigbee is designed for a very specific application (switching, censors, controllers, etc.). And by this list, you can see that it was specifically designed to meet the needs of that application. Bluetooth does not and cannot support that application, just like Zigbee cannot support the application Bluetooth was designed for (cable replacement).

No it doesn't. If you click the correct link, this exploit works as advertised with popup blocking on, on Firefox 1.0.

No big deal, we can use IsKnot
