As I read this thread, IE (public library, they dont have debian systems) deicded to throw a wobbler and crash. Obviously it decided I didnt need to read about what I dont need to read about...
p.s. hairy potter site crashed konq. (well, didnt close any windows, just said "its crashed", and didnt let me in to see the warnerbros copy.
More and more sites are turning IE/old versions of netscape only. soon it'll be IE only. good thing that when a site I use turns I can do the old usre_agent trick.
The terrorist acts were commited by people living in a country where all thought, except the official thought, is banned under punishment of death.
The recent terrorist car bomb in the middle of Birmingham (last weekend) was committed by people in one of the "Freest" countries arround.
Howabout Timothy McVeigh? Perhaps is America had free speech he wouldnt have done what he did?
Yes you can come out with some events that (coincidentally or not) been commited by people from countries without free speach, but I can think of plenty of IRA bombings in the UK, from Warrington iin 93 (First I really distinctivly remember, being 5 miles where I live), to docklands, to manchester, to birmingham (last week).
(P.S. Northern Ireland is part of a free democratic country, and is a self rule province).
Perhaps you can count Oklahoma, and the IRA, as stupid thought, but people in countries with free speech still buy their shoes from indian sweatshops, buy their oil from companies supporting dictatorships (hell, they'll buy their oil from bin laden himself if it means they get it less then $2/gal in their tank)
All bad acts by people in countires with Free speach
On some weeks you can win that much in the UK lottery. Theres a lot of people with £20m, and if they do win it, after the first half million on car/house/holiday, if they want to go into space, why not?
Dunno if the limited edition will even be out here. If I want the game right now though, I have no choice but to get a warez copy. Doesnt seem to make sense, but thats big buisness for you.

Something tells me "Manufacterer restrictions" are in play, namely they'll sell it in the UK for twice the price, a month after the US
I spent an hour yesterday trying to order Civ3 LE from america, to be delivered to the UK. Couldnt do it. Companies from Amazon to EBworld are all racist and wont deliver to the UK. France, Germany etc. etc. are all ffine. Anarchist cookbook to iraq is fine, but not civ3 to the UK
We have had the ability to communicate with ET for arround 100 years. In terms of galatic history this is nothing.
Also do we necersarily want to deliberatly give away our position? OK, voyager and pioneer had a "map" to get to us, but any civilisation discovering them before we become extinct will be within a few light years of us anyway - how long will it take the fastest one of them to get far enough away to have an ambiguous starting point?
They've cracked the DES-I, DES-III, RC5-56, and CSC encyption contests, and now they're alternating between cracking RC5-64 and finding optimal golomb rulers.
This has been tested in Swansea, UK, and I believe it proved reasonably successful, at least with the vendors that used it.
Its been going for a few years here at exeter university. It ended Jun 30th this year though. People prefer cash. Part of the reason was not everywhere accepted it. Another reason was you had no idea what was on it. It's all dead now, and we're getting new ID cards/lab access cards/library cards/print cards on Monday (Friday for the freshers).
I had 92p on my mondex - lost it all (we did have plenty of notice though.
It did tell you when you transfered money from your bank to the card, and the card held a record of the last 10 transactions. Nothing else did (apparently).
Electronic Cash just isnt ready (in Exeter, UK, at least), even ignoring privacy issues (which, sadly, most people are blind to)
Unfortunatly even 90 minutes at 700MB still means a maximum realistic limit of arround 20-50 users simultaneously streaming from one server on a hundered megabit fully switched super high powered network. And forget trying to do real time encoding at the same time.
As an aside:
What is the best cross platform (client), linux based, open source (or at least free) solution for streaming 5 videos at arround 200-500kbits/second (preferably running on a low end server)?
My mp3 list randomified into a recent geeks in space yesterday. I decided to listen (It was about half way though when I got back into the room).
One of them (cant remember who), said something appropiate. You're on my turf, and uner my rules. No one is forcing you to go there (the website).
When a public entity (acting for the people) censors stuff, its bad. When a company censors stuff, you have the choice of not using htat companies services.
There are, however, exceptions. Mainly when that company is the only provider of a service in an area, and a local law prvents anyone from competing/it is impossible to compete.
It's not all bad though, companies are answerable. If a company refused to let a specific group of people use their services normally open to the public, then they will get into trouble.
Were dongs like "Bridge over troubled water", "Mack the knife" and "Tikka to ride" anything to do with 9/11? Is there anyone in the world that doesnt like at least one song on there? They've got everything from the 30's onwards, from heavy goth to light ballards.
OK, there are some songs on there it would have been insensitive to play on the day of the tradgedy, or shortly after, however I'd hope that radio DJ's can judge this for themselves. Fresh DJ's with only a couple of weeks under their belts at our uni radio station can.
This conglomerate is worse then the BBC in the UK. At least they dont ahve a guarenteed income and have to answer to their listeners (unlike the BBC who's anti america, anti UK, anti Europe view scares me). I hope that listeners write in and complain to TPTB. It's not the DJ's fault, they get the sack if they play them.
Still, there are other stations (I guess, I know very little about american radio)

I was on about developing general sites. royalmail.co.yk used to be a great site that happily worked. They've (for no reason), changed it now, yo get cookies, javascript etc. all over the place.
I'm surprised, and plased, that your stats show konq to have such a (relativly) high market penetration. I use it almost exclusivly (occasionally lynx or sometimes mozilla get in the way), but i had no idea so many people did.
I'm afraid some sites I have to pretend I'm an IE user though - as otherwise I dont get in (even though they work fine in konq and moz)
My figures were from PC Pro, a UK magazine, October 2001 edition. I havent read it for a long time, and I'm unimpressed by the MS ass-kissing the have in there. I only bought it cause it had a tux on the front, pretty much the entire linux content of the magazine was that one cover picture though:(
The mohoorovic discontinuity (the moho) is the boundry between the mantle and crust IIRC. The depth varies, 70km under the himilayers, 5 or 6 under thin parts of the ocean. Faults and thrusts can also bring it up to the surface (Lizzard, Corwall, England).
The other big discontinuity is the taylor-guttenburg, mantle/outer core layer.

Yep, also we should pour our entire planets economy into solving every last problem on earth before we even think about going into space. Right.

1) Support whatever 90% of your users are using
2) Support the prior two versions
Latest stats are showing IE5 to have 82% of the market, IE4 with 6% and IE6 with 1.5% - pretty much 90%
Another 2% is spiders.
So Should we only support IE? Or should we support the standard as it is guarented to work in all future browsers as well?
