One thing I've always wanted to see out of HTTP is a saved state between hits. 1 KB of headers in each frame isn't horrible, but the overhead of verifying an authentication cookie on every hit can be.
Am I reading this right that in section 6.2, headers only happen at the beginning of a stream and do not happen on each individual request? That sure would make my life a little nicer!
I'm not going to pretend that I know much about archeology, but this location they're talking about clearly shows the same city in the aerial photos. What's the deal with that? This must not be a new find?
Anyone notice the SCSI LVD cable on page 4? Doesn't that seem a bit hack-ish for a real research lab? Seems a bit like finding duct tape and a rusty hammer in an Emergency Room!
I'm glad that Microsoft is letting linux/unix machines integrate at least somewhat,
I have setup an AD + Samba, and I would have to say that MS is not doing anything to "help" the situation. The Samba development team is the big one at play here, pretty much reverse engineering the SMB and CIFS protocols, and making Linux play nice with MS products.
I've even used a Samba box to help diagnose problems with Windows, since error logging is so crude... when has a Linux error message ever consisted of "generic erorr: Please ask your system Administrator to fix this problem, and stuff."
Just my two cents on the whole thing. I think the Linux world has bent over backwards in the "play nice" industry, and I highly doubt that MS will provide any sort of efforts towards this. Their business model is founded on proprietary ambiguous tech, and unfortunately, that's the best way to make a profit in the industry.
So, I guess if I could sum this long winded statement into a one-liner question: Will Microsoft actually commit to some sort of 'play nice' effort? Most businesses do have an environment consisting of many platforms, wouldn't it just be easier on the whole world if everyone got along?
I agree, does anyone actually know if he was actually diagnosed? Asberger's syndrome is inborn -- you don't just wake up one day and go, "I'm going to stop talking to people, quit my job, and blame it on some disorder... where's my handy DSM at?"
I know I'm throwing the monkey wrench in the P.C. system here, but that interview gave me an impression of someone saying, "I'm not a fatass, I have obesity, it's a REAL disorder, and it's not my fault!"
Even if he does truely have Asperger's, with proper behavior therapy a lot of people can fit in with normal society and conduct normal lives.
I think it really is strange times, where everyone watches Dr. Phil and diagnoses themsevles... the sad thing is, most people believe them and give them the reinforcement that they wanted in the first place.
Maybe I'll buy a wheelchair so anonymous nice people will push me around an open doors for me. I'd live like a KING! Now I know why Sparks on Sealab did that.

Along that line of the "Technics" legos -- how about the old Erector sets (or the equivelant Meccano sets)?
I used to play with those a lot -- mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics, gear/pulley ratios, etc. Although Techics Legos are cool, I think that Erector sets are much more time tested.
Seeing this story reminded me of so many instances in the past when the phone company has directly attacked computer users in general. If you've seen the History Channel special on the history of the internet, the phone company has been the uncooperative and inhibiting side of networking since the ARPAnet. One of the creators of the ARPAnet was demonstrating its uses to Ma Bell when, for the first time, it crashed. The phone company guys laughed at the situation because they believed that the ARPAnet wouldn't amount to anything, and therefor was not a threat to the phone co. From an admin's perspective, that would be very crushing.
I think this mentality started from there. I've had many instances where the phone company is just hard to deal with when it comes to noise quality in the lines for modem use. Thier phone lines were only made for voice use, and anything beyond that is the customers problem...
Perhaps they only want to make large profit margins with as little service as possible. If a DSL user is not using the bandwidth for just "faster web access" then that is not a customer. That is a user that intends to use the telco system beyond thier contractual agreement. No grey area, just black and white. It's amazing phones have lasted for such a long time.
Perhaps the widespread use of the internet as a free long distance service will change all of that.;-)
Since laptops could be the thickness of a credit card (or at least the monitor) I think people would start replacing the uses of credit cards... say, like scraping the ice off your windshield, breaking locks, etc. I know I would.
BTW, do you think that these OEL's would have that trippy watery effect when you run your finger across the surface? That's the coolest...

Does anyone find it a bit shady that the author of this hater blog post is a writer from Disney? The same company that brought us some wonderfully in-depth characters like Sofia the First and Hannah Montana!
All of this just sounds like a well constructed branding war, and the feminazis just fell right into the role of pawn.

I wonder what sort of long term side effects you'd be looking at with vastly increased muscle growth.
Side effects: giving wedgies to geeks, and having sex with cheerleaders? Sign me up!

This is what's called The Three Stooges Effect ... INDESTRUCTIBLE!

Note that most FC4 machines out there will need the compat-libstdc++-33 package for the libstdc++.so.5 library. Just an FYI. :-)
