    Or if not illegal, it should have serious repecussions for them as a registrar up to the point of dropping their registrar status.
    serious repecussions[sic]: I along with every other slashdotter who RTFS [S=summary] will no longer be using GoDaddy. personally, i'm going to transfer my domains to some other host as soon as i can afford to do it.

    And in the case there is content that shouldn't be public on the site, that is a _hosting_ issue not a domain issue.
    GoDaddy does hosting as well... are you sure that GD wasn't the host? i don't know either way, i haven't RTFA'd - i'm still knee jerking :P

    bulletin i just posted to myspace:

    http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/26/154 2218&threshold=1

    myspace has just flexed it's muscle to get a website with over 250,000 useful articles knocked off the internet because one article happened to contain user names and passwords. what did they do? rather than doing the right thing and asking Seclists.org to remove the ONE offending article, they went to godaddy and had the entire site pulled.

    as a show of disgust over this and many other actions that myspace has displayed, i am going to delete my account on 1/29/2007, and configure my computer to never let me access myspace again. i suggest that you do the same. contact me (nate [at] gotnate.com) if you need help blocking your own access to myspace. :)

    as an alternative, i recommend facebook.com. here's my profile: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=516019381

    note: gotnate.com is currently hosted with godaddy. i will be taking similar actions with them as well.

    i fixed it for you:

    so we know that 1 second of a 1080i stream is 1920 * 1080 * 24 * 30 bits. that comes out to 1,492,992,000 b/s.

    for the raw uncompressed stream that comes to the following:
    1,492,992 kb/s (kilobit - bits/1000)
    ~1,493 mb/s (megabit - kb/1000)
    ~1.5 gb/s (gigabit - mb/1000)
    186,624,000 B/s (Byte - bits/8)
    182,250 KiB/s (KibiByte - B/1024)
    ~178 MiB/s (MebiByte - KiB/1024)

    i've found that Quicktime Pro + Flip4Mac + some divx dirivitive does give VLC a run for it's money on my mac mini attached to my TV, particularly from a UI point of view.*

    now if i don't have the time to set everything up so that it purrs, i'll throw VLC onto a system.

    *i'm sure front row will be just stellar with this setup, but i have a PPC in my mini, so apple said "wait 'till leapard... or install an older version of OS X and patch it." sometimes apple's idiotic policies (.mac, quicktime pro, front row being tied to hardware, etc) make so little sence that i sometimes wonder how meny switchers are getting pissed off and swtiching right back to dell....

    There is no taskbar on OSX. The Dock contains information about running tasks, but it is much more, more useful, efficient and nicer to look it. If you call it "copying" that Ferrari builds cars with the same number of wheels as the original Ford, then yes. By any other definition, the Dock is not a copy of the taskbar.

    it's better than that! the taskbar is a copy of the NeXT Dock... the progenitor of the OS X Dock :)

    An interesting catch: All these companies depend on IBM. Apple dropped IBM largely because they didn't seem ready or willing to develop and produce mainstream chips on a schedule that suited Apple.


    ah, but apple wanted faster iterations of PPCs every 6 months. What they got was a 700 MHz upgrade in 1.8 years, and then the top speed got cut back by 200 MHz to make room for dual core CPUs. Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft all have PPC specs set in stone for the next 5 or 6 years. much more compatible with IBM's slow pace of consumer chip upgrades.
