maybe if you'd have read the parent, you'd grok that it's a p-i-t-a to login and print out statements every month...especially if you host a lot of sites.
oh for the day that I was only in charge of one web site...on one server
oh how i love the all or nothing mentality. even if we were to offset the current consumption by say... 12%, it would help.
lets get crazy...maybe some bio-fuel from jatropha...some electricity from pv...some geothermal heat exchange for "conditioning" indoor environments. little bits help.
I'll second the Tropos mesh statement. Here in Cumberland, MD we're rolling out Wavion WS410 APs...linked back to the core via Alvarion BreezeACCESS VL radios.
I think that the DRM was as much a way to keep the record companies happy as it was to lock-in consumers. I also think you used the key words... "very hard". People buy songs from iTunes because it is convenient and "easy". The easiest way to legally obtain a single track... easy being a tightly integrated, relatively simple software + hardware interface.
But enough about that... Time to go get a Hambbuuuuwweeghuur.
It's true... so far, EMI is the only major label with DRM-Free tracks.
BbbBbbBBBbbUTTttt... if anyone tells me that iTunes and iPods were made for any reason other than to make money for Apple... they are more diluted than I.
I thought the point of iTunes was that it was heavily DRM'd? The point of iTunes it to make Apple money. They make money selling iPods and selling music.
And in-case you missed it, iTunes now offers DRM-Free tracks.
You could go with any number of the "jukebox" devices... or maybe just a software solution like Room Juice or one of the many other freshmeat Music Jukebox projects.
Actually, I can vouch for the story...as I am the one who pushed the button. And yes, it continues to be funny...even at my new job...which is with the client who was in the office that day.
BTW: I continue to look for more buttons to push...I like breaking stuff.
I've got MailScanner... http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mai lscanner/ ...run ning on my personal server. It's a "wrapper" for SpamAssassin and a number of server-side virus scanners. Pretty cool tool.
In some companies, you are forced to give people access to do things that are beyone their comprehension/education. Some people refuse to be educated...and thus require continual training/help.
In the case of a (large) website, it really does make a lot of sense to decentralize the content creation and or deployment. This is why "we" (not me specifically, but the reason they exist) have content management systems...so non tech people can do some of the "tech stuff" themselves. It's knid of nice not having to go back and fix/change things on a regular basis...
After explaining FTP to the same secretary for the 500th time, you may see a value in some tool that makes your life easier. Unless you make it like Word, many people (the ones who make your life easier by updating the content themselves) will refuse to learn it.
Maybe I'm an idiot for thinking this way...but experience has taught me a few things about non-tech people.
Slashdot Mirror
if/when some of these "kids" have their own 13y/o daughters, they will think differently.
funny how we old people have clear lines about nudity and age.
/me cries...
never get to play on your lawn...

it's monday... bah
looks like i've already lost.
seriously... hurting my ears.
/me makes sure that the /. rookie card is still in the safe place
it might be worth checking the uid of one you "accuse" of being new. I remember back when we could only complain about ones and zeros
i'll bite the troll...

my thoughts exactly. and let's not forget that a move toward less dependence on oil...black gold...saudi tea...would probably be a good thing.
OT: low sids unite.

It "accidentally" finds only the bad traffic.
Everyone knows that the best security tools find the "bad stuff" via blind luck.
After reading some of the other comments... it looks like you are NOT the first "Clouseauster".
Cause he's the "Digital Crusader". Provider of ad free content. Able to leap...
Yeah Seriously... get on with reading it Colin.

Why am I lying? What makes you think I did not try? 500th time was an exageration to make a point.

Actually IIS stores almost nothing in the Registry...is uses the Metabase...
