For July only another 1% drop from June. 55.60% and 58.47%. The point is, not an 8% drop. Now January vs July is an 8% drop for one of the sites. The other one is only a 3% drop. In Jan, 59.74% and 64.11%..
On the two sites I have access to for this info IE dropped about 1% for May vs June. One site (~19M visitors a month) it was 57.91% vs 56.64%. The other (~132M visitors) it was 60.17% vs 59.40%. I always question these sort of numbers because browser usage is very closely tied with demographics, and I wonder just what sites are they using to get them...
10. Fireworks/Explosives/Hazardous Chemicals/Weapons Unauthorized possession or use of fireworks, explosives, or weapons is prohibited. Hazardous chemicals that could pose a health risk are also prohibited from the campus, including chemicals that, when combined with other substances, could be hazardous or present a danger to others.
Unauthorized possession, storage (in vehicles on campus as well as in the residence halls), or control of firearms and weapons on university property is prohibited. (NOTE: Organizational weapons of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets, approved by the commandant, are not prohibited by this policy.) Firearms are defined as any gun, rifle, pistol, or handgun designed to fire bullets, BBs, pellets, or shots (including paint balls), regardless of the propellant used. Other weapons are defined as any instrument of combat or any object not designed as an instrument of combat but carried for the purpose of inflicting or threatening bodily injury. Examples include (but are not limited to) knives with fixed blades or pocket knives with blades longer than four inches, razors, metal knuckles, blackjacks, hatchets, bows and arrows, nun chahkas, foils, or any explosive or incendiary device. Possession of realistic replicas of weapons on campus is prohibited. Students who store weapons in residence hall rooms, who brandish weapons, or who use a weapon in a reckless manner may face disciplinary action which may include suspension or dismissal from the university.

We've got 6 of them at work. And I've had many a sleepless night trying to get them up to par. We're running oracle and bea weblogic on them and it's been a nightmare. Coupled with the poor EMC support for them and the random init_tty lockups, I rue the day some idiot up high said go with the itaniums. We don't get the performace we see on the regular old xeons and now with the new x86_64 xeons, there's no need for them. The only reason we even have these is because of the high ram capibilities. Each machine has 16 gigs of ram, but since you can do that with xeons now, I'd love to replace them with more reliable machines. I call our itaniums our little space heaters...$30000 space heaters. *sigh*
I ran into this situation at the end of last year when we had to hire some people to do a external network audit as a requirement for a major credit card company. The company used nessus and Nitko and it preceded to throw out all sorts of false positives. Like apache 2.0.34 warning for windows (we're running linux and 2.0.52+), wrong php versions (detecting 4.3.10 as 4.3.2), etc. It wasn't fun. We ended up having to rebuke every false claim and send a notorized letter explaing these things and why they really aren't true/bad. I'm of the opinion that this should be the responsibility of the audit company to fix not my companiy's responsibility to have to prove our innocence. We brought these false positives to the audit company and they wouldn't do anything about it. They just said not our problem and they wouldn't fix their software to not report the blatently false positives. But I guess that's just part of businesses these days, with the sarbanes-oxley and other such audits being required by law. It's very frustrating, but it's here to stay I guess.
I didn't mean that you couldn't get it running. as I said i managed to get some things running. The problem is when you have problems, you're SOL. They aren't going to help you fix your problems. I've had this issue with EMC where they wouldn't help me because I was running an emulex fibre card on our Itaniums. They only supported the qlogic cards so they just said "sorry we can't help you because you're not running a supported configuration". And my issue wasn't even with the cards, it was with their software not being able to install under the Itanium architecture. When we were doing our oracle installs and setup, oracle sent people out to install the DB software and they didn't seem competent enough to install on RHEL let alone debian or gentoo. But that's just been my experiance. Sure I could get oracle9 running on gentoo, hell i've seen ebuilds for it. But companies want support from vendors, not some crazy sysadmin.
While I concur that Gentoo and Debian are both great distros (i've managed to get a few gentoo boxes in at work), the problem comes from the lack of enterprise support for things such as Oracle and EMC. Oracle only runs on RedHat and maybe SuSE, and EMC software is only supported on RedHat and SuSE. While I have managed to get a gentoo box connected to an EMC, it doesn't have their PowerPath software for failover, etc. That and it took me a week to get the stuff working properly. If Oracle and EMC supported gentoo, i'd set our redhat licenses ablaze. Unfortunately the only thing gentoo/debian can do is web/smtp/dns which is fine if you run mysql/postgres as your choice of database, but these days in an enterprise environment you are stuck with at least one RedHat/SuSE box.
"The bottom line for us is prosecutions, prosecutions, prosecutions," Brilliant said. "That is going to require getting into local provinces and addressing some of the corruption that exists."
Unfortunately not everyone does this. My work was hit this morning with gen 17 (at least we had oodles of backups and no data was lost, just unavailable for an hour, but at 4:30 am it's hard enough). The problem was that many of the sites need to be able to be written to by the apache daemon. image uploading, etc etc. Hopefully our development staff take my warning and fix this before round 2. Not bloodly likely. I'm still waiting for requests from 6 months ago...ah well.
Chances are you'll want those half height cubes for the business/creative people and full cubes for the engineers. However when picking cubes do not make them so small you feel claustriphobic. My office is terrible because all the cubes are 5x5x(3 or 5). And the hallways between the cubes are about 3.5 feet wide. This doesn't allow for easy travel through the office. Try and plan it so people can manuver around without bumping into people or walls.
Anyone else think the comparison with the War on Drugs is a bit much? Especially when the War on Drugs has been touted as a failure by many people for it's over spending and inability to really curb the influx of drugs into this country. So does that mean the MPAA is just going to blow tons of money and fail to get anything done? Maybe it's just me...
When I purchased my iPod back in march, i was able to use my 10% coupon from best buy. I'm willing to bet that they are the ones who are keeping the price up since they know how well the iPods will be selling. You may just want to hold out till after the holidays

And just how are they supposed to get the virus and patch updates? And don't just say "Oh well they can just go over to a friend's house, family member's house, or the library." And then what do they do? Put them on a floppy? That's funny. Norton virus definitions are several megs these days. Stuff isn't easy for the regular 5 hours a month computer user. Sure it'd be easy for/.ers, but we don't make up the majority of the internet subscribers.
ISP's can block the viruses too. Mail filters, port blocking, etc. This is not something that can only be prevented by the end user.
I graduated from VT in May...The Collegiate Times is full of typos, gramatical errors and misprints. You have to take their news with a grain of salt. Silly wannabe journalists.

nope, it has spaces and the table was defined with set a width. The table that held the inner table was using proportional width and I know the standard says if you are using percentages, it should not wrap. However if you are using fixed sizes it should wrap. It wouldn't do this in mozilla. So I had to put everything in the in another table. Don't ask me why mozilla wouldn't render it properly. It confused the hell out of me for a good day or so. Now i've got it working, but the html is very ugly.
True, but I'm developing for a company who does e-commerce store hosting. And the site has to be compatible for just about everyone. We always get complaints about IE 5.0 and Mac's IE because of their FUBAR javascript implementations. I am the only one in the entire company who uses mozilla. So they are always coming up with javascript stuff I never see because my browser actually works:]
I normally use mozilla when I'm doing web development, however I still have to run throught he site in IE. Mozilla has great development features, but I have found that IE has bastardized HTML. Mozilla also has it's issues with tables (I'm currently having issues with non wraping text rows) and Horizontal rules (for some reason it just won't display on certain pages). You should see the code to get around the nonwraping text, my god it's horrid. Another thing is that Mozilla's javascript is slightly different than Microsoft's. I have found that IE 5.0's implementation is different than 5.5 and 6.0. Mozilla will also let you get away with certain variable addressings that IE will choke on. Mozilla is great, but you still have to use IE at some point. IE still forces us to do stupid things:[
As many filtering programs work on extentions, I know that many people are just.tar'ing up entire cds/movies to bypass these restrictions. The RIAA/MPAA are not going to win this no matter who hard they try. They need to be thinking about the future, rather than trying to save the past. This is what happens when older generations fail to even try to adapt to the newer generation.
No one in any important position in America learns from their mistakes, they just repeat them with different varieties of ideas. (See: The President, Corp. America, Misc. Associations)
NOTE: While I am not supporting these things, I do believe the RIAA/MPAA/Government need to wake up and listen to the younger generation if they want to survive in the future. *Listen to the next generation, or you're not going to be on social security very long!*

1) someone's gotta install it...let's see that ceo replace a motherboard
2) when was the last time an automatic update worked 99.99999999999% Windows Update hangs 2 out of 5 times on my laptop.
3) wanna bet?
4) someone's still gotta swap. So basically you could probably reduce the number of admins, but you've still got to have at least one.
