Have you forgotten the "equal" sign marking the separation between the attribute and its declared value? Typical syntax is attribute="value".

Umm, SSL was designed to solve this problem. When you visit your online bank, make sure the cert is valid and that the URL matches the one on your printed bankbook or credit card.
Pretty simple.
(People being too dumb/lazy to check, though, is the hard problem. Fortunately this is evolution at work.)

Right, it makes a lot of sense to stop having a society until every disease has been cured. Brilliant, just brilliant./me goes back to searching for large prime numbers.
Exactly. Library is more like/usr/share. With some/var mixed in./Library has your site_perl directory, your htdocs directory, some configuration, some binaries. I would call it "etc", but that means something else:)
The difference is that if you own the Linux box, you can do anything. User accounts are something you use to limit the ability of others to hose your computer.
Sony's DRM limits the ability for you to use your own property. (Unless you're just renting the PSP, in which case Sony can do whatever they want. Of course, you could sue them for breach of contract if they said you could do something that you can't. If you don't like the PSP's DRM, though, why not just not buy one!? Let Sony go out of business.)
This is very important police work. If there are open APs, people might be able to communicate freely and anonymously. We don't want any of that now, do we?
By your logic, the world should come to a complete stop. Math? Who needs it, doesn't cure cancer. Computers? Don't need none of dose. Cars? Those don't cure cancer. Slashdot? People shouldn't waste their time on slashdot, when they could be curing cancer.
Does this sound rediculous to you?
Some people have other areas of interest -- we can't let the world stop so that some people can cure cancer, or save the children, or whatever.
Exactly. If these "medical researchers" need more computing time, maybe they should buy one of these new-fangled "supercomputers". Then they could use it for whatever they want.
Personally, I think protein folding is lame because I know that the IP generated is going to be locked up for the next 70 years. If they want to use my computer, they should give me something in return. (Oh, but it will Cure All Diseases! Sure, but that cure will be sold back to me. No thanks.)
I don't run anything ATM, but I used to participate in GIMPs, looking for large Mersenne primes. That's more interesting to me than curing cancer.
There's a slight difference between the two jobs. When you're working on something, you're standing on the ground. So when you touch something not-at-ground-potential, a current flows through your body (killing you instantly;). When you're working on the high tension lines, you touch the line, and you too become charged to whatever potential the lines are at. As long as you don't touch anything else (like the ground), you're perfectly fine.

:)
I even mentioned this in a talk I gave
http://www.jrock.us/yapc/slides/img69.html
So what's wrong with having a line of code that looks like:
if(url = 'kinderstart.com')
pagerank.decreaseBy(100)
It's automatic.
Crashing browsers is a huge PITA. Do you like your history? Do you keep multiple tabs open. All that is gone when your browser SEGVs.
If a remote user can make your software do something it's not supposed to do, that's a security problem.

I forgot my login and password.
However, thanks to the new wiretapping system, I was able to retrieve it!
I don't think "test" credit card numbers exist. Do you have a reference?
I wasn't alive during the time when whites enslaved blacks, so it doesn't evoke any imagry for me. They're just people.
Programmers can't eat code, either, but somehow we have things like perl, MySQL, Mozilla, fetchmail, GNOME, Linux, GNU, etc. etc.
My reply:
As it turns out, she sent the e-mail from a different computer... but if you omit that detail, it makes for a good story

Um, the government tends not to outsource jobs.

What's not "easy to use" about pressing one key to perform a complex operation. I'm no vi fan, but that sounds easy to me.
(emacs is M-x indent-region, or whatever you've bound that to.)

No, DRM is short for "Digital Restrictions Management", and that's exactly what the PSP is doing here. It's digital, it's restriting you. DRM.
Actually, this whole site is a social experiment to see how people react to a lack of information.

The results? People just make stuff up to fill in the gaps.
This is very important police work. If there are open APs, people might be able to communicate freely and anonymously. We don't want any of that now, do we?
Here's the link for this, BTW:

Perl 6. Perl 6 will be compilable to JavaScript, so you can write your web applications completely in Perl
