    Great! Non-functional malicious code is the best kind of malicious code.

  2. Re:So, why can't we check? on Slashdot HTML 4.01 and CSS · · Score: 1

    Slashdot has blocked traffic from the Validator for a long time now. You have to do it the way the other posters suggested.

    Sure, only 13 on the front page of /. (don't remember how much before) and they all seem relatively minor.

    Hundreds before. It's a huge improvement, and the minor errors seem mostly to be regarding the WBR and NOBR elements not being defined. Should be easy to track down. Firefox 1.5B1 is running in standard mode, quirks mode is still triggered in Opera 8.5

    Nice to see the comment box resizes now. !! Kudos! With only a few minor little bits to wrap up, all in all it's a job well begun and implemented.

  5. Since you need an electrician on Running a Home-Office Through a UPS · · Score: 0

    Why don't you ask him? Or do you already have the 30-amp circuit with a NEMA L5-30P outlet?

    Basically, you'd want to pull the feed for this room off the breaker entirely, and terminate it with a grounded outlet next to the breaker. It should be a simple matter to get or make a heady-duty male-to-male power cord. Put the UPS by the breaker box and you're done.

    On the flip side, this likely violates a number of building and electric codes where you live. Probably not the safest setup either.

    There are folks at my $ORK_PLACE that agree with you. I got called to help with a MS Access problem someone was having. I misremember the problem, but I remember what I found: 6-7 separate Access databases each containing one table, contents of said table 80%-plus indentical to the rest. They were trying to create a contact list for agents who did business with certain companies (we are brokers), and ended up with a bunch of spreadsheets in Access format.

    The best way to push a new product out is with loosely coordinated small engines (team leaders) with appropriate small gears (coordinators) interleaving in between the cogs.

    I have, but it turned out to be XP SP2 denying my connection to the Cingular servers (Opera gave me the same message). It appears that I am too busy for SP2's pathetic 10 connection limit to handle.

    OK, how about some examples? You cite some of the Brady campaign's, which has been an enemy of the Bill of Rights (2nd Amendment in particular) for many years, grasping-at-straws arguements for infringing on the rights of Americans, but provide no references that state that a dealer MUST sell a firearm to ANYONE who walks in the door and states that they are buying the firearm to commit a crime, so long as they aren't on the list of people who it is illegal to sell to.
