Um, WHAT minimum wage increase? The last one was in 1996, 10 years ago.
(also worth noting that the current minimum wage is worth LESS than it was before the '96 increase: "$5.15 today is the equivalent of only $3.95 in 1995 -- lower than the $4.25 minimum wage level before the 1996-97 increase.")
Bush didn't push this, it was a broad, bipartisan coalition of Senators that pushed this through over the "secret holds" of pork-lovin' Senators from AK and VA, aided by bloggers of all stripes. Maybe he's into it too, but to give credit for this to the President when Sens. Coburn and Obama are its parents and originals is disingenuous to say the least.
Down at the bottom of the transcript, Steve gives GRC.com/securitynow.htm as a URL where you can grab his test code for this problem (KnockKnock.exe)... but I can't find it there. Can anyone else?
I think it says a lot about that school's educational priorities that links to "Athletic Schedule" and "Turnitin.com" (and anti-plagarism/ratting site) are bigger and bolder than "Academic Departments".
Many, many sites do this. Apache backed by load-balanced Tomcats is a great way to scale. This has the potential to kill midsized sites that need more than a standalone server but can't afford Big Iron.
Further, McDonalds' quality assurance manager testified that the company actively enforces a requirement that coffee be held in the pot at 185 degrees, plus or minus five degrees.
Brewed and kept far too hot for human consumption. McDonalds, in short, ignored ten years worth of customer complaints to sell a product that was exponentially more likely to cause major physical injury -- because it would taste slightly better. Only after this lawsuit did their "reckless, callous and willful" behavior change. I'd say the public good was served.
>> Christians aren't strapping bombs to themselves
Um.... except for Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing. Funnily, I don't seem to recall white, Christian BBS operators being rounded up at the time.
Rip off more Kurosawa
It's no slur on the genuinely great first "Star Wars" that much of the plotline and characterization was lifted straight out of Akira Kurosawa's "The Hidden Fortress."
He acknowleges it was done and suggests doing it MORE (eg, taking Throne of Blood as the Ep3 model)
Yeah, check out that great screenshot showing the user easily changing his desktop size from 800x600 to 1024x768 without mucking around with an XConfig file!
The advantage for Linux is that running out and flocking to Marathon would have involved the purchase of $1500+ worth of new (Macintosh) hardware. All Linuthon has to do is convince people to download a free-as-in-beer operating system that they can run on their same ol' machine, in parallel with Windows.
Your point about jobs being outsourced is ill-informed at best, asinine at worst. When we count unemployment "leaps" in tenths of a percent, losing almost a full percentage point (1m/130m =.77%) overseas is HUGE.
Who benefits from moving jobs overseas? Those who own the companies. Before you start in with the tired "well, buy stock, and then you'll get rich too," (a) do you have ANY idea how much stock you have to own in order to live off the dividends? (b) burger-flipping doesn't exactly leave lots of spare cash around with which to invest.
Excellent! So no-one goes and gets these degrees in this country, since we can't afford it... and then what? What happens when no-one's able to write code because CS grads have been so much cheaper elsewhere for so long? Who can make informed decisions? What innovation comes out of the US?
* modifying forms/form-values on the fly based on current answers
* drag-and-drop interfaces
The first is a must for any website that gets a reasonable amount of traffic and doesn't want to perform a page refresh every time a user makes a change. Even if it's just a simple recalculation of price based on a change to quantity in your shopping cart, it saves server processor time and makes the user experience much better.
The second is killer for admin pages. The oncontextmenu handler is nice for this purpose too.
Now, to address some of your straw-men....
"hiding the real URL" (a) Anyone doing it maliciously could also just as easily hide it in a server-side redirect. (b) While power-users such as you still have the "capability of doing it yourself" by viewing-selection-source, or copying-link-location, someone who isn't quite so savvy might actually like a user experience where the window.status reads "Article: Knitting and You" rather than http://www.foo-bar-inc.com/archive/2/4/6/knit_23j4.jsp?x=gibble&track=barftholomew
"drop-down menus" unless you want to forcibly ignore the 90% of the internet that browses on IE, there's no way to do it without JavaScript.
"MIDI files" (a) Works with just an EMBED, no JavaScript needed (b) Excellent straw-man -- anyone who works JavaScript MUST be a beanie-baby collectin' Geocities user!
There are legitable problems with JavaScript (security implementations being paramount). Please don't waste our time setting up ridiculous arguments based on scattershot pet peeves and straw-men.
Slashdot Mirror
The aligning problems you cite are exactly the sorts of new features that are subject to the prefix problem -- see the flexbox spec (at http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-flexbox/)... and then see the 2009 flexbox spec (at http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-css3-flexbox-20090723). Most browsers (minus the IEs) support the old version. A few Chrome versions -- NOT -webkit-*, just Chrome -- support the new syntax (see http://caniuse.com/flexbox).
So, to sum up: we have this new standard you desire, but the problem addressed by the FA is directly to blame for the lack of adoption.

Please give examples, with citations, of left-wing groups that are doing the same on Digg as the cited right-wing groups.
Anyone who comments on how their virtual workspaces could be called "DarkSun" will be shot with a railgun. That is all.

The DMV here in New Jersey is run by a private corporation. It still sucks.

It's not a perfect vector for exploits, but it's not a bad one.

Using Firefox 1.0 on XP, if I do "view source" it shows the correct header: "Source of: http://xn--pypal-4v3.com/"
But who does that on every page? Easier to disable IDN.

well, say, that one channel that plays Science Fiction all day long... what's it called again?
That being said, I think any fear of higher costs or closing channels is a smokescreen. They're going to make less money, and they know it. Tough.
... but I'm not going to tell you anything about it, and the link I provide won't have the text. Nyah nyah!

Pehaps, since the easiest -- and therefore most likely to attract hobbyists -- thing is just to get the vote count, "War Polling"?
