Well, would you rather a URL with a space or a hard newline? I guess at higher res with variable width fonts, the spaces are a little less noticable, making URLs seem broke.
You can suggest they use linebreaks rather than spaces on the bugzilla site for slashcode, but with things like this, it's sometimes hard to get a programmer to change it, since it is sort of subjective.
Not a single unbroken line with no spaces in a table!
If you have a table, and put one long line with no spaces in it in said table, it will stretch the table to fit, the whole table.
Check out www.fool.com 's message boards. If anyone posts a long URL (they have auto linking, like email clients do), then the whole table is stretched out.
Not really a bug. They do that so that if someone posts a really long line of unbroken text, it won't mess up the way the whole comments page looks.
If they didn't, then one troll could just put in a really long line in a message, and make the whole page as wide as that line. Unless you like horizontal scrolling, that sucks.

ABC's Millionare show regularly asks questions about recent Disney releases. The contestants also regularly have to use lifelines on them, because who the fuck keeps up with the 15 flop movies per year that Disney churns out these days.
Access to the internet is a privelege, not a right
It's neither. It's a product you buy and pay for, and is subject to whatever contract that was agreed upon at the time of purchase, and the UCC laws regarding contracts.
The CB problem is because those truckers are pushing 100-300 watts or more. I think 4 watts or so is legal for CB, but probably 95% of truckers use a amp of some sort.
AM will rectify when it gets picked up on your speaker cables, sort of like the old crystal radio, it doesn't take much to create a simple AM radio.
There are some measures you can take to reduce the interference (even though you shouldn't have to legally, it's them that is breaking the law).
Try ferrites everywhere, especially on cables that have a grounding sheath. This will choke off current from the ground sheath.
Keep cord lengths as short as possible. Move the equipment to the other side of the room and see if that helps.
You can also wrap your whole house in chicken wire. Just make sure the chicken wire has a good RF ground, and also make sure your neighbors don't call any mental health organizations.:)
Actually directory traversal exploits happen all the time, but it's not likely you would put a hyperlink to exploit your own (or someone else's) site just on the web.
Not to jump into the fray, but coming from someone who has been looking for a job via their sig on/. for at least 2 months, it sort of loses some effect.:)
I don't know if many of you will be able to relate to this, but when I was a child I had the greatest respect for my elders and for the authorities/law enforcement. It seems that in today's "yob" culture, violence, underage drinking and anarchy are seen as ways of expressing how "hard" you are.
As it has been throughout history. Zoot Suit Riots. for example.
Exerpt:
During the time leading up to the trial and for two weeks into the trial, Henry Leyvas and his co-defendants were not allowed to change their clothes by order of the trial judge, Charles Fricke. The district attorney reasoned, and Judge Fricke agreed, that the jury should see the defendants in the zoot suits, which were obviously only worn by "hoodlums". During the trial, 22 of the 24c o-defendants including Henry Leyvas were tried together.

The old always will attempt to oppress the youth, the youth will always find a way to rebel, just as the modern symbols you mention, cheap cigarettes, haircuts, etc, signify a certain rebellious attitude today, Zoot Suits, haircuts, and other things did the same 50 years ago.
Don't think that anything has changed, it hasn't. We are no better or worse off today then we used to be, as far as crime goes.
I don't know much UK history, but I seriously doubt that things have changed much there either.

Of course, these are about the meat, rather than the email.
Send it to bugtraq. No one ever said that bugtraq was only for PC type software.
Hehe, it's ok.

Hey, I put a port in my bathroom!
Where'd you get a 6 foot drill bit anyway, I had to do mine with a 18 inch spade bit.

This was a story on /. like two weeks ago. Go look for it.

Uh, assuming a 7 or 8 bit encoding of characters, 1bps, shouldn't it take 7 or 8 second per character, not 5 minutes?

Wrap your whole house in a fine, RF grounded, metal screen. Don't forget the roof!

You can hot swap fans, it's really not dangerous. Unless it's your CPU fan. :)
Why not just tell them to fuck off. If they want to control who links to their feed, then they should.
As long as it is publicly available, I seriously doubt they could successfully charge you for it.
It's like setting up a large arch in a public park, and when people walk under it, demanding $100,000 from them.

DMCA has a specific exemption for reverse engineering for the purposes of "interoperability between computer systems".

It comes up all the time. There are drawbacks to all such ideas.
I think it's covered in one of the FAQs somewhere, go check them out.
