Not feasible for most homeowners, but here's an idea:
Setup a server in a secure room in your house that is always locked, has no windows, etc. Give your child a dummy interface to that server that only allows them to do very very basic things, ie, surf the internet. Limit the sites they can view only to a very small subset of trusted sites, and block everything else.
I'm not sure how i would go about bypassing that configuration.
"Looking out beyond that I think our work on natural interface (I mean by this our research work on putting speech/handwriting/linguistics/learning together in a bayesian framework) is the Only concrete thing that can happen fast enough with enough volume to make 200mips chips look bad then make 500mips chips look bad, then make l200mips chips look bad... etc..etc.. This is what Intel needs from the software market."
I guess we already know this, but Microsoft partnering with Intel to sell more chips by developing technology that can only work with faster chips? What a surprise.
"we are far from done on the browser front. We are--at 30% but Netscape has shipped a good product far ahead of us and still verysavvy and veryInterested in kaeping their stock price up. We need to execute on 1E4. surpass 50% share, and be setup to continue the share gain via great distribubon and product before we pull the plug."
When he says 'pull the plug' is he talking about stopping development of IE once they reached a certain marketshare and netscape was dead? Kinda like they did..?
Did you not even read the comments on the devx forum for that article? This has been available for a very long time through things like hidden iframes. This is not a 'new security problem' and ajax is not about to fall off its pedestal any time soon because of this. Completely ridiculous post.
The reviewer is not talking about not learning through sample code. It's talking about EXCESSIVE sample code. The review states (in the first paragraph no less):
"The bulk of the explanation takes the form of code samples, which fortunately are short enough in length and clear enough in composition to be easily digestible. This is in stark contrast to far too many other programming books on the market, whose code samples can span multiple pages, making it difficult for the reader to discern all of the ideas that the author is trying to get across"
agghh. It's people like you that give me a headache. Using 'advanced' techniques that are hard to understand, and harder to debug when a simpler technique would be more fitting and elegant.

If the reviewer is really that confused, it might not be a good idea to take any of the points he makes too seroiusly.
oh, ya, i've used that, its awesome! I really like its simple and clean interface, and how easy it is to set things up pretty painlessly. I was hoping to look at some alternatives though, thats why i'm curious about drupal.
Oh, and I was curious what drupal was too, the slashdot link doesn't give much more info than that it's a CMS, and drupal.org is down (looks like they haven't installed the new hardware in time for slashdot).
Drupal is a content management framework, content management system and blogging engine which was originally written by Dries Buytaert and is the software used to power Debian Planet [1], Terminus1525 [2], Spread Firefox [3] and Kernel Trap [4], among others. Drupal is written in PHP using strict coding standards.
Drupal is the English spelling for the Dutch word 'druppel' which means 'drop'.
Though it started as a small bulletin board system, Drupal has become much more than just a news portal, thanks to its flexible architecture. Drupal has a basic layer, or core, which supports pluggable modules that enable additional behaviors. The modules available for Drupal provide a wide assortment of features, including e-commerce systems, workflow, photo galleries, mailing list management, and CVS integration. Drupal's taxonomy/classification module is especially interesting, in that it allows any content to be classified with a flexible tagging system.
Some of the more special roles that Drupal has filled include company intranets, online classrooms, art communities and project management. Many feel that Drupal's focus on user communities is what makes it stand out from its competition.

Oh, and I know people will probably say "It's better than DotNetNuke cause it will run on non-windows based servers" but mainly I'm just curious about the functionality, stability, and security of drupal itself and I could care less what I run it on. (yes, my windows servers are just as stable and secure as my linux servers).
I just want a pure comparison between CMS's, not the underlying architecture.

c. Intel's Leveraging of Its Other Product Lines to Unfairly Disadvantage
AMD in the Marketplace 122. Intel has also designed and marketed microprocessor-related products with the goal of compromising performance for those who opt for AMD solutions, even if it requires sacrificing its own product quality and integrity. 123. An example is Intel's compilers. Generally, independent software vendors ("ISVs") write software programs in high-level languages, such as C, C++, or Fortran. Before these programs can be understood by a computer system, they must be translated into object code - a machine-readable language - by a software program called a compiler. Different companies write compilers for different operating systems (Windows, Linux, etc.) and for different programming languages (C, C++, Fortran, etc.). Intel offers compilers for use with a variety of different operating systems and programming languages. 124. Intel's compilers are designed to perform specialized types of optimizations that are particularly advantageous for ISVs developing software programs that rely heavily upon floating point or vectorized mathematical calculations. Such programs include, for example, mathematical modeling, multimedia, and video game applications. 125. Intel has designed its compiler purposely to degrade performance when a program is run on an AMD platform. To achieve this, Intel designed the compiler to compile code along several alternate code paths. Some paths are executed when the program runs on an Intel platform and others are executed when the program is operated on a computer with an AMD microprocessor. (The choice of code path is determined when the program is started, using a feature known as "CPUID" which identifies the computer's microprocessor.) By design, the code paths were not created equally. If the program detects a "Genuine Intel" microprocessor, it executes a fully optimized code path and operates with the maximum efficiency. However, if the program detects an "Authentic AMD" microprocessor, it executes a different code path that will degrade the program's performance or cause it to crash. 126. ISVs are forced to choose between Intel's compilers, which degrade the performance of their software when operated with AMD microprocessors, or third-party compilers, which do not contain Intel's particular optimizations. Sadly for AMD and its customers, for legitimate reasons Intel's compilers appeal to certain groups of ISVs, especially those developing software programs that rely heavily on floating point and vectorized math calculations. Unbeknownst to them, performance of their programs is degraded when run on an AMD microprocessor not because of design deficiencies on the part of AMD, but deviousness on the part of Intel.
"You just gotta love a Cinderella story. . . . AMD's rapid rise from startup to $5 billion semiconductor powerhouse is, as Humphrey Bogart's English teacher once said, the stuff of which dreams are made. . .."
and "AMD has seized technological leadership in the microprocessor industry."
It is also very easy to read, and doesn't have the lawyer-speak i'd be expecting.
Some of the arguments are a little weak as well. Like stating that Intel's push to change the pins on the DIMM (DDR3) module was specifically to hurt and slow down AMD's release of their processors. They don't back this up though, and it seems a little contrived.
As the poster suggested, with the huge sales of iTunes it seems that DRM isn't something that a lot of consumers care about too much. Interesting as a lot of slashdotters seem to feel the opposite.

Pretty smart move by the Chinese Government if in fact they had shut down the blogs, but realized their mistake after all the press.
Not too far fetched if you think about it. I've seen many many people do the same thing. "Oh, I made a mistake? No, i was just kidding.".
What does he mean: "Let's see how long the mobs will respawn."
Does he not understand that AQ is an "instanced" dungeon and the mobs will exist for any group that enters?
