The other thing that helps alot is to change the default font to Serif, rather than San-Serif. That's the default IE font, and in most everyone's opinion "looks better".
Others have also recommended the 'classic' theme, which is a great improvement.
There's tons of little other things that greatly bother me about mozilla that will keep me using ie when I can, but that's a different discussion
No offense, but I've had wonderful experience with Dell technicians wrt RedHat and even x86 solaris (don't ask). Granted these are pretty much 3rd level techs that we get direct lines to as we do shitloads of business with Dell. IMO Dell is serious about Linux, but only for high order customers because that's the only place it's affordable to care about it.
You are not in violation of copyright. You may be in violation of a law which makes it unlawful to knowingly conspire to commit copyright violation by the Iranians. The Iranians are not in violation of copyright if they aquired the films in Iran, as Iran afact does not respect American copyright.
Most lan party centers buy their own games to make sure they have enough legitimate versions. High schools won't buy games as they are "misappropriation of funds" and they won't let kids (officially) install their own games, as that would be misappropriation of resources.
My HS allowed us to play doom2, and fully knew we were doing so (during class even); but I very much doubt any place is doing this sort of thing "officially"
Though you'd also assume that writing secure software would be much more economically sound, as the company doesn't need to spend as much on patches. They wouldn't lose as much through bad pr. And god forbid, wouldn't need to spend as much on lawsuits if the software is that bad.
Everyone likes environmentally safe/clean engineering designs, but they are usually last on the list, and nearly never on the "need" portion of the list; very similar to how everyone likes secure software, but that feature is neearly never above usable, cheap, and quick.
Furthermore the paper goes on to say that the major improvements were done to the matrix half of the procedure rather than the collection side. "Half" probably isn't the most accurate term, as the collection side takes far longer (months) than the matrix side (days).
Even if you remove the matrix side, it takes a VERY long time to find all of the relations needed to make the matrix in order to solve it.
Actually, the point is better put (as proper security should be) that anyone can factor very large numbers, but it will take them all a very long time without the key.
I agree, though I perhaps disagree that server features are what the two in the article were talking about.
Not to mention that any webserver in a situation that requires high security (or to withstand a contest) would probably be modified to turn off indexing (though yes, probably not redirection).
And it's also arguable to say that the "real world" is filled with competant web admins that have some grasp of security...
The system set up by KDWorks had almost all of its services deactivated, according to kill9 and m0rla. "The contest server was only simulation, not a real-world environment," they wrote. "And you have to ask yourself who will have a Web server running with this small amount of services activated? Nobody."
Heh, in my experience, it's quite to the contrary. Anyone with half a brain turns off nearly all, if not all services to stop script kiddies like you =]
Give them a network drawing and a problem, and then ask for all the possible causes.
My favorites are "mail doesn't work", "web doesn't work", "file sharing doesn't work".
Only one is really necissary, and given the level of their answers you can judge the level of their knowledge (and problem solving abilities).
Most people will at least get 'service is down, cable is broken, wrong username' and the such. Not everyone will get "broken dns, improper routing tables on machines, flooded network" sort of things...
Put a small raid 5 partition on your *nix machine. Store everything there, and use your access of choice to use the data on your other machines. I like ssh/scp for access, as it works mostly everywhere, and is encrypted, but then again most of my data needs accessed in a CVS manner. If you are constantly editing word docs and the such, samba would perhaps be a better option.
This way the data is in one spot, but it's much less vulnerable to hdd failure. Plus since it's on a *nix machine, you can export it to your clientelle.
And properly instructed children shouldn't need supervised the majority of the time. Furthermore, why should you worry about pornography? By age 12 they've already had sex ed courses in the government's public school...
I was thinking of that originally, though if the bills passed to law, that means that a majority of congress voted for said dumb law and the seated president did not veto it.
Voter solution would be best, though I think we can be reasonably assured that that won't happen, either by ignorance, or by well... ignorance. People mostly want a "fun, safe" internet, but have no grasp of what consiquences that would mean.
Like they want no terrorism, but don't understand that increased FBI spying will lead to unthinkable invasions of privacy.
Because one of the governments' prime responsibilities is to 'protect and serve'. Even if you believe it's not the governments' place to raise a child (and it's not), you can at least acknowledge the fact that poorly raised children are more likely to be dangerous (or irresponsible) adults.
This is why they are (or should be concerned). IMO the government has no business meddling in this regard, especially since they can't even do public schooling properly yet...
There's now laws in the US to try to prevent, and in most cases punish dumb, useless lawsuits. Where's a similar provision for dumb, useless laws that are blatantly in violation of the constitution?

I'd offer to run for the House, although I am not old enough.
Here's the trick folks; if you want a congressman to write to, vote for a congressman that will...
1) Broadband has been underpriced for some time now. Alot of Ma and Pa's in the world didn't see a need for it beyond dialup. This is now not an issue.
Cable co's are raising rates to make more money and in probably quite a few cases, make money.
2) With the recent ruling against the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (that of *course* wasn't lobbied heavily by the cable co's) most 3rd party dsl providers will soon find themselves in trouble.
Cable co's can now raise prices a little as their main competitor is probably going to face stiffer costs if they can even continue offering service.
Don't tell me that the ruling and the price raises are coincidence...
Why? CDr makers, computer makers, and ultimately people want music. If the music industry stops providing music, either people will pay for the music, or get it from people who will offer the music.
People still want to go to concerts. Artists will likely make nowhere near what they currently are, but so what? It's just simple supply and demand. Currently the demand is over-inflated because of market manipulation, and technical limitations.
Now the technical limitations are gone, and people are realising the market manipulation. Basically their current revenue streams will likely diminish like the Tech stock market. And just like the Tech market, the good stuff will still be around, closer to what it really is worth. And in the end, the artists themselves will probably end up making more out of the deal.

So let's see here.
You the business provide a service with nothing in the way of security, and you are allowed/required to keep private information about me?
Sounds like I the customer have a raw deal.
Just think, you probably already have a beowulf cluster of those...

AFAIK voting records are public domain, and if not, then they are available through Freedom of Information requests.

I hope they require a proper click box for opt in, rather than imbedded in a clickthrough license agreement...
Either way opt-in is the way to go wrt email from commercial interests, I hope my country (US) adopts such restrictions for its corperations.
