The only time I got to W3schools is to look at those stats. Of course, I got there with firefox, like all the firefox lovers who are happy to look at those stats. I wonder if the stats page is a significant portion of their traffic... somehow I don't think IE users visit that page often;)
Just curious: party or not, why is the x besides what you want not applicable, 15 pages or not?
(moderators: I'm not trolling, just asking an honest question!)
IMHO, one important criteria is:
the system has to be understable by anyone using it. a x on a paper is. everyone understands what happens when the paper gets in the box. any system involving a computer too much is not understood enough by the population
granted, not truly a troll, but to be fair, it didn't add a lot of value to the discussion. make some point and argue and consequences instead of wasting more than 50% of your post on the voting-related-joke-that-is-almost-good.
"If all Wi-Fi cards had a mandatory GPS system reporting their location"
Yeah right. Like someone who would want to use your network wouldn't lie about his position (by hacking the card, driver,etc..). Maybe non-trivial, but once one guy does it, he gives the recipe.
When modems began to be deployed, corporations wouldn't even ask a password to be connected. Just dial the line. This is equivalent of the now unsecured wireless networks. Your solution would then have been to only allow some phone numbers to dial in. Not that bad, but asking for a password is probably simpler and better.
"[...] It is without a doubt, American decadence at its finest. [...]"
I can't stop trying to put things in perspectives theses days and realize how much the world is unfair. Some people will never get to use a car, and some are ditching one while skydiving. (I guess it doesn't work anymore, but still)
I am not saying it is not right to do so. It looks *really* cool!
But. Can't help and think about other human beings not even having access to drinkable water...
Some day we will have to face the fact that a more fair repartition is indeed needed. Are we happier today than 100 years ago because we can skydive in cars?
Go ahead, mod me down as redundant, libertarian bastard, suckers who speaks but does nothing, etc... I really just want to know if other feel the same way.
Exactly. Even better, something like soap,xml-rpc (or an even lighter version of...). You really just want an api to the thing. The UI should be done on the client.
EJB,JNDI,JDBC,Remote manageability,clustering,and so on and so forth. Apache is a core part of it, even if you can use iPlanet if you want to replace apache.
dumb question (not really hoping for an answer:) ):
couldn't this 802.11 thing introduce some unwanted interferences will all the equipment already there (either once in space or just before going out). I guess they will have to go for the real tests relative to interferences, not just the consumer grades one (ya know, the one where when the product is FCC approved it means it will only kill you in 15 years of usage:) )
>Apparently even you can't have a dialog without mentioning the word "hate"
:)) I expected that one. I tought that *I* was a loosing my time on slashdot! You actually took the time to reply to this thing you find stupid with an even more stupid thing. And yes, I'm going to be the real looser, because I'm replying to YOU! Go ahead, I'm going to be more looser than you even if you try hard. You aren't even a good looser!:)
what's your point? Hate is great, let's all slam each other?
"Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity"
I think it applies here somehow, and just asking for a clarification it the least one can do. When you have it, if it doesn't fit, voice all you can, in a civilized way without going personnal. I'm pretty sure the reporter received "you bitch" emails. You think THAT is deserved? Maybe "you incompetent", but not that.
We already have oxygen and entropy to fight against, we don't need "spontaneous-hate-mass-reactions-without-having-re ad-the-freaking-article".
"I find this jihad of criticism of the Post to be inappropriate. I
can easily tell from talking with the reporter that her intentions
were good. It is grossly unfair to punish her with all this hate
mail."
Smells like slashdot crowd usual reactions to similar matters.
Can't we expect a little more from this crowd?
Can't we have a dialog without having the word "hate" mentionned?
While I agree completely with you and the poster you are responding to, I also think that people were talking about a priority scale where giving food would be more important.
PPPOE is used if your ISP uses PPP over Ethernet (PPPOE) to authenticate you. Usually, adsl companies will do this to reuse their RADIUS infrastructure.
In your case, you probably don't need it, so you cannot do anything with it.

just tweak it as others said or even simpler use a tool like : http://www.acropdf.com/pdfspeedup.gif

just read your other post.

my 0.02$ - probably worth less than that !
I think you misunderstood the original poster (probably because he badly worded his post). He meant:
The prices in Eastern Canada are ridiculous comparing to some US states: in Eastern Canada we pay around $24 US a month for DSL or cable.

No, I don't.
As much as I hate pollution and car jams, a car is a damn usefull thing to have, especially if you don't live in a big city.
I just bought one. I managed to live without for years, using buses, subway & bike in a bug city.
But the car offers me so much more possibility, like being able to go somewhere visit friends without having to beg someone to come with me!
I've rented cars. It's not as cool as it sounds: you loose a lot of time.
From the shots page #2:

Good idea, but the article says it all:
"It's publish or perish," Stern said. "As long as we have promotion and tenure tied to publishing, change won't work."
sadly.
That would have been great.
>Wrong error.
No.
I tried with moz1.1beta and I get the -8183 error.
Not vulnerabl (I did change my host file and ensured IE 5.5 is vulnerable).
does it really works on an 8bit controller?
;)
I highly doubt it, but to lazy to check it out
Exactly. Even better, something like soap,xml-rpc (or an even lighter version of...). You really just want an api to the thing. The UI should be done on the client.
>Kind of funny that anyone is clueless enough to think that WebSphere is open source.
?? who thinks that?
"...which has *major* open source **components**"
BTW, it also uses stuff from jakarta for JSP (at least in v3.5)
Not the complete truth either.
Websphere is much more than a servlet engine:
EJB,JNDI,JDBC,Remote manageability,clustering,and so on and so forth. Apache is a core part of it, even if you can use iPlanet if you want to replace apache.
it's not obvious from the diagram if they want to do that, and I'm too tired to read all the thing, but to me this seems like a bad idea.

hate
A good example of a mail "about something they feel that they can be righteous" is the 2 emails by Zimmerman. They aren't hate mail, are they?
You think a "troll" is helping the society (or himself, for that matter, if your are into the self centric thing) in any way?
Don't you think he'll _just_ die.

I tought the same thing.
