The thing I don't understand is why people are complaining about undoing the smoke-and-mirrors of 1999-2001. Businesses which had no business plans to speak of thus no long-term prospects were given millions of dollars of investment capital on some lofty marketing hype of being able to create profits out of thin air. Just because you put money in doesn't mean you were going to get money out, even if you have a catchy domain name, and investors have finally wisened up to this. Personally I'm glad the industry has, for the most part, gotten over its investment adolescence and can move on. You don't hear of people in the catering business complaining that things were so cushy before the donut crisis of '97 when people were coming in droves just to buy donuts.
Truecrypt (mirror 1 [freewebtown.com], mirror 2) does the same as PGPdisk but is open-source and seems to still be actively developed, unlike PGP658ckt. It also doesn't have the drive size limitations of some competing commercial products.
Today's releases of Firefox and Thunderbird seem to have been taken off the FTP server. I downloaded them at home this morning at 7am EST but they are currently (~9am EST) AWOL. I hope they're setting up mirrors and/or bittorrent feeds.
I'm waiting for dmail rev 2 that adds on network-to-network communication, so you can dmail your friends without having to have an account on every single different network. Oh, wait..
From my experience with OSS, there are very few projects with more than three or four active developers. Sure, some like the Linux kernel, etc, get oodles of folks looking at the code, but for an average project most seem to have only a few active developers, with the rest being testers. So no, you don't have three or four hundred developers working on something.
On the other hand, if a major bug crept up in something a good deal of people used, e.g. Apache, then I wouldn't be surprised if there was a sudden surge of folks looking at the code to help with the bug hunt. But for day-to-day average projects? I don't think so buddy.
The DMCA in the US makes it illegal to use a device that could be used to decrypt encrypted data, to use it, to make it, to obtain it from someone, but not to have it sitting on your mantle-piece. So if you can't make it, or get it from someone else, how do you get it?
So it is no longer legal to add additional functionality to a device you are creating? There goes my idea of building a more secure website than my managers asked for, can't have that.
PowerPC is (or at least was) a collaborative effort between the AIM innitiative: Apple, IBM and Motorola. It borrows a lot of concepts and (with the G5) technology from the POWER series but they are not AFAIK compatible. The POWER series is used for IBM's big iron servers and workstations.

Try drinking a few glasses of plain water during the day. I've found that doing this greatly helps me during the day in terms of fatigue and just feeling better.
At this stage, why bother with YAHTMLS (Yet Another HTML Standard) and why not just go straight to the full-blown XML standards? Like has been said, 95%+ of browsers will support it nicely (the 5% being made up of the 4th gen browsers and others that are XML-free). It would save having to redo your work in another thre years when they forgo the HTML-esque standards and just tell everyone to use XML.
Numerically, when considering floating point values as well as integers, the integer "1" constitutes floating-point values ranging from 0.5 to 1.4. Therefore, if you take the upper-bound range, 1.4, and double it, you get 2.8, which when converted to an integer equals 3.
It would have been worse if the mission after the Challenger had exploded as it had plutonium onboard which would have taken out the entire state of Florida not just the shuttle. Which would you prefer: half a dozen people dead or an entire state obliterated in the blink of an eye? Its not nice to say that you are glad some people died, but think of what could have happened!
Crystal Reports has done this for some time. I was trying to get prices from them a number of years back for a computer lab - they wanted one license per person who would be sitting in the class, so for a $75 class we were expected to pay $200 in licensing fees. Kinda nuts.
What next, you have to buy your own desktop to use at their location, or you have to pay for the electricity used to power the servers? If you are using something because they _require_ it to do your job then they should be paying for it. If they insist in not paying, drop back to dialup for a while. The only reason to do what they're doing is to save money, a grand or two per year per person probably, and this thing if you having to be a dedicated employee is a coverup.
I'm sorry but we can't tell you as shooting CDs could be a terrorist act. God only knows how many millions of AOL freebie CDs there are available for free to anyone who wants them and these could become lethal weapons in your hands. You are a sick little monkey, go home and ask your dad to give you a paddling, and no supper for you either, mister! The FBI will be around in the morning, please have your clothes packed and an extra-large tub of Smooth-o-lube when they arrive.
If the laptop is that old why are you spending top dollar to get a new HD? My father-in-law got a 10gig one for $80 two years ago, surely you can do better?

Skip the intermediary standards and do pure XML data with XSLT, XPath, etc.

No, no, don't worry, I'm fine most days, its just once in a while, usually Fridays... oh! ;-)

One slight problem with your article is the permissions thing won't work if you are running FAT32 - you need NTFS for full permissions support.

I wish they'd do an update for Diablo 1, in many ways it was more fun than D2.
