Bwahahaahahaaahaahaahahaah!! Earlier I commented that their using IIS-looking 404 pages was an indication they actually did switch over to IIS. Looks like I was wrong they actually did just try to hide their using Apache by setting custom ErrorDocuments.
Do you have a front door on your house? I guess youre voluntarily allowing me to come over and try to sell you something for a few hours every day, OK?
Disabling anonymous posting for a site is a Slash setting; all they needed to do was flip one toggle to do so. Disabling it for that one story would have required them to write new code just for that, which we already know is a 4/1 joke to begin with.
Someone else above replied to my comment and sort of clarified this. Suppy-and-demand will continue as in there will always be a demand for new information, and there will always be a limited supply of new artists to produce it. The place where the paradigm breaks down is about one sec after the author has produced his finished work. In the past, the author could continue to sell his work which is in demand since it was tied to a physical media of which there is limited supply, and this is in fact entirely what the {RI,MP}AA content industries are based on. They werent selling content, they were selling plastic discs with content on them. Now, digitized information can be duplicated and distributed to meet any demand with virtually no effort nor cost.
Sounds like a browser issue. I was able to type it in fine, and Teoma did in fact come back with the ó printed correctly, however the results were garbage. My browser, Macintosh MSIE/5.0, submitted ó as %F3 which is its ISO-8859-1 codepoint (ISO-8859-1 is a superset of ASCII with 128 more characters, including most Western Euro accented vowels). How did yours submit it? If it represented the character as three %XX entities (dont know them off the top of my head), that means youre browser is using UTF-8, which is much less-supported.
Teoma doesnt seem to even have a/robots.txt file (a standard for configuring bot exclusion), and judging by your last comment, is not honoring Googles. When searching for myself on Teoma I also noticed other search engine result pages popping up in their results. Really stupid.
Theres a rather obvious flaw in your logic, namely Google it is the best right now and theyre not spamming up the place with banner ads simply because they can. So, if Teoma comes out on top, why do you automatically think theyd do so?
Or maybe that business model just isn't going to work anymore...
This is the key to the entire copyright situation. Basically, what were witnessing is an end to supply-and-demand economics in relation to information. Considering that the entirely of capitalist economics is based on this idea, its something that most people are not thinking about, but it is whats happening. Supply-and-demand never really applied to information, it actually applied to the media beneath the information (finite supplies of trees, vinyl, magnetic tape, etc.), although most people didnt make the distinction because the information was inextricably tied to the media. But now supply-and-demand doesnt apply at all computers have allowed us to reproduce information without being tied to any physical media, and at near-zero cost. In regards to information, there is no longer any capitalist economy, unless it can be artificially forced on it with legislation.
Thats probably because he wasnt American. Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb in 1879, a year after a Briton, Joseph Swan, invented nearly the same thing. Edison got the patent in the U.S. Swan got the patent in Great Britain.
Shuttle? Are you smoking something? My entire comment was two sentences, and made no mention of anything specific, let alone a shuttle. What I was saying is that you seemed to imply that since something is maliciously-planned it cannot be foreseen. I proceeded to say that you obviously dont (or shouldnt) be working in any security-related field, as most things one has to foresee are malicious in nature. And thats all I said.
And why dont you check the HTML source before implying that because Im typing something correctly I must be using Windows. First off, Windows does use typographically-correct quotes (so-called curlies) but uses the wrong codes: it uses Windows Code Page 1252 codes: 146, 147, 148, 149 (decimal). Codes from 128 to 159 are undefined in both ISO-8859 (an 8-bit superset including ASCII that nearly parallels CP1252) and ISO-10646 (Unicode, UTF-8, etc.), and thus dont work on any systems unless the page charset is specified as windows-1252 or the browser assumes what they mean (the Macintosh MSIE does this, naturally).
However: I type punctuation using the correct Unicode values which should work on any standards-compliant browser. These are U+2018, U+2019, U+201C, U+201D (hexadecimal). You can type codes like this by typing &#xNNNN; for hex codes, or just &#NNNN; for decimal. You can also use the ISO-8879 names for these characters lsquo, ldquo, rsquo, rdquo but a lot more browsers have problems with those.
Its been that way ever since I can remember. Considering that your birthday can typically be used to identify you (along with little other information), and I think Yahoo! asks for you to enter your birthday if you forget your password, this is a security issue. And think about it what legitimate reason (in their mind) would you have to change this information? You were born when you were born, after all; unlike your name and address, this is rather immutable.
Besides, I always use 1970-01-01 so its easy enough to remember (epoch=0), and I have no reason to change it.:)
English has no neutral pronoun to refer to a person (unless you want to use it, or the technically-incorrect they). Its conventional to use he as masculine is typically considered the default, but many people use she instead. Read this.
What contract? Its illegal to infringe on copyright, not a violation of a contract. I think youre confusing software EULAs (whose terms are spelled out in a contract) and actual laws.
Actually, the IRS does do that what do you think witholding is? They withold the amount they think you owe, then you do your taxes and figure out exactly how much you actually owe, or if they withheld too much. This policy was started when tax laws were significantly changed and the government was worried that no one was going to pay attention they thought preemptively withholding a portion of your income and making you fill out paperwork to (possibly) get it back would induce you to do your taxes.
It is. The prefixes youre used to using: kilo, mega, giga, etc., are meant to be in 1000s, not 1024s. The IEEE has invented new, stupid-sounding prefixes to mean 1024-units: kibi, mebi, gibi, and so on.

I know that (I use custom ErrorDocuments myself on my site), but why go to all that trouble to make Apache look like its IIS?
The 404 Pages look like IIS. I dont think they would go through all that trouble of just making Apache look like IIS.

And this is what has these industries scared.

It's called UTC (GMT, +0000, etc.), which is what Slashdot runs on. In my time zone it was actually 18:59.
It has been done, and it was not an April Fool joke.
You posted that one minute early.

The fact that something is maliciously planned makes it unforeseen? I hope you dont work in any kind of security-related business...
/ME hands you an R.
You figure out where to put it. (Hint: it goes after the T, but before the A.)
Give them one of these for your street address and phone number (unless of course you need them to have your real information):
:)
701 First Avenue
Sunnyvale, CA 94089
1-408-530-5062
or
225 Broadway, 13th Floor
San Diego, CA 92101
1-408-731-3300
Then set the mail/phone marketing preferences to YES. Why these addresses? `whois yahoo.com` to find out why.
