I'd like to see Apache 2 on Windows be able to run ASP and ASP.net. While Apache can run ISAPI applications (similar to CGI but without the performance issues), it can't run ISAPI filters.
If Apache 2 could use filters, you could probably get ASP.dll and the.Net one to run.
Any plans for this?

Apache 2.0 vs. IIS

IIS 6 (.Net Server) allows the metabase (where IIS keeps it's settings) to be stored in an XML file. You make a change to the XML file, it updates the metabase. You make a change to the metabase, it updates the XML file.
Very handy if you want to keep a standardised configuration backup.
Pretty rare that Australia is actually somewhat close to leading edge;)
Optus are trialling a digital VOD system in Sydney. You can subscribe to the commerical trial, and pay to be their guinea pig... err... early adopter. They are using Liberate as the platform, and Pace STU's.
The movies are about 6 months old, which is 12 months better than standard pay TV.
You're right. It's (well, Quake 1) bad, especially on older model iPaq's. You have to balance the stylus to look with one hand, and the other hand needs to push forward, sidestep, and fire.
I could just be an un-coordinated git, but I couldn't get the hang of it.
Being able to run Quake on your PDA is one thing, being able to play it is another.
They don't own the backbone, they pay Optus heaps(per megabyte), to access the backbone.
Completely incorrect.
Telstra, until very recently, owned most of the international capacity out of Australia. Now that Optus has SCC, they have the edge, however Telstra still has substantial int'l capacity, and is on it's way to get more.
Essentially, Telstra are buying capacity off one of their own subsidaries (Reach, JV with some Hong Kong telco). Just like Optus.

Geez, you know not everyone subscribes to cable/DSL just for high speed. People are into the always-on aspect of the service.
I, for one, wouldn't be interested in the raw throughput; I'm more interested in being able to download in tbe background while I can keep surfing (something near impossible on dialup).
And never mind the convenience of being able to quickly check something like movie times or gig guides without having to wait 30 seconds to dial in (my computer is always on; pity dialup isn't).
Cable isn't just about raw bandwidth - some of us don't care much about that.
It's not 'open season' on whatever stupid domain name you want (I was looking at nudists.com.au;).
.com.au requires you to hold a business name or trademark similar to the domain you want to register.
To successfully win in the auction, you needed to have a valid and relevant trademark or business name current as of last August.
It's mainly for companies that had a generic name as a trademark, but due to the existing policies of the previous.au administration were not allowed to register an appropriate.com.au (Orange comes to mind; they can probably pickup orange.com.au as well as their current.net.au).
If you're doing web services, you don't need to shut down the server. You can just copy the.asmx and and.dll's right over and they will be picked up immediately.
No shitty XML, EAR, WAR, JAR, BAR, ZAR, XAR, PAR... files. Just copy the files over.
hey - while we're at it - why don't we scrap letters and words and use icons.. it's just as random if you think about how silly it all it - it's already too late for anything resembling order in the domain namespace game anyhow, and the multilingual namespace is a joke (albeit an expensive one)
WHY WHY WHY do people run IIS anyway, I would love to see what it would take to do this with IIS, any takers ?
You could write an ISAPI filter that intercepts the requests just before IIS processes them.

You will be able to get a GPRS/GSM sleeve for the iPaq that not only will allow you to access packet switched data, but has a microphone and speaker so you can use it as a phone.
There's also a provision for an earpiece, but I suspect it's one of those el-cheapo crappy ones. I hope someone will write a Bluetooth driver that lets me use, say the Ericsson Bluetooth headset (as seen in Tomb Raider) to talk on the GSM phone.
The iPaq also has IBM ViaVoice for voice recognition.
Set up a 'security checkpoint' outside her front door. Strip search, metal detectors, armed guards, the works, you know, to see if she has violated any Open Source licenses.
After all, if they are allowed to break into people's computers and DoS them, can't we DoS her?

The ignorance on /. is particularly high today.
.Net is exactly the same. .Net "applets" loaded from the web are in a sandbox.
.Net and Java files are vulnerable to "old school" viruses, you know the ones that actually modify the executable files. Like this one.
Java, of course, is composed of byte code that runs in a "sandbox" which is supposed to prevent malicious attacks on a user machine.
Applets are, yes. Applications are NOT.
Say what you want about Java, but from what I can tell Sun has been pretty successful in achieving their security goals.
Not really. There are several ways Java applets can jump out of their sandbox, most relying on overriding ClassLoader security restrictions.
Brown Orifice is a real-world example of this.

As an added bonus, this procedure greatly enhances the sound, and makes the CD actually tolerable.
Depends on what you mean. Here we're comparing an entire operating system to a single application. Makes me wonder about the application.
Since when is Office a single application?

Isn't the point of the ads so that they can pay their hosting cost when something like a slashdotting happens?
Yeah, but the single page view saves them considerable amounts of bandwidth.
Really, those miniscule "pages" aren't necessary at all. If they had a clue, they'd dump the lot on one or two pages.
Protect your sanity and view the whole article on one page here, rather than clicking 'Next' 100 times and downloading heaps of ads.

Nah, it's a different shade of blue. Win2k blue is lighter than BSOD blue.
:)
Sorry to disappoint you
I had it going on 2k and XP just fine. 3.22 I think. I agree, fantastic program.
It doesn't work with Norton AntiVirus 2002, though. Everytime you try to access a shared drive it BSOD's in TCPIP.sys.
Same shade of blue as Win2k (navy blue), a lot more explanatory text, a lot of apologising, and it's in Lucida Console, not the VGA font.
Only time I saw them on my XP RC1 was with Norton AV 2002 and AtGuard not getting along.
