Still trying to figure out - is it winamp's fault that an XML character escape sequence causes stupid IE to run as in a local zone.
This isn't the first app that gets nailed just because it was using IE (for whatever extent of use - full rendering or peripheral stuff like SSL Certificate handling or XML processing).
Just add this to the IE screwups tally:-)

And you should probably do (get your ass kicked for the sticker).
And yes - this is the reason why people rant and "get out of their shell" on the internet - because they are the faceless mass that pisses them off on the road, and they can finally shed all the inhibitions and behave like the jerks they want to be (when pushed around), instead of the nice geeks they are.
Simple, but true (and again - the examples for this can be found down on the bottom of this page;-)

Ho Ironic indeed - if you know that the site opens up popups - just enable them... Used Firefox to get mine - would have never use IE if my life depended on it;-)
ASP support has nothing to do with IE or any other browser for that matter (lynx friendly).
You should be looking for ActiveX and screwed up DHTML when you say that IE is required. I am working with a major financial processing company and we support all browsers. Some of the servers do run ASP (both from Win and Linux servers) but the HTML they spit out is squeky clean - not a problem even if you have to recode some of the application... (w3c is your friend - and the firefox web developer extention too!).

You know what's even scaries - go for a quick elevator trip in a NYC building (business offices in midtown/downtown). Make stops on the ~18 and ~36 floors (just averaging) and run kismet/*stumbler.
Woha!
These are all BUSINESSES!!! with their open WiFi networks... And for "Wardriving" purposes these are probably more interesting than the residential ones...
Dude, are you sure you are on the right site? This is slashdot... geeks with laptops and broadband, squeezing every last bit of bandwith with QoS and custom kernels...
With the low prices of Cable/DSL - even for a "slower" 1.5Mb service, I can't believe that anyone is still signing up for those "optimized" (it's called a proxy stupid) dialup services.
Last time I had to dial in - I just logged off after a couple of minutes to prevent a small mass murder of bystanders...;-)
Is it just me or the fact that you can get a nice little LCD attached to something is the real item here?
We've all seen the hackable "disposable" digicams here before, and considering the quality of pictures and the hassle to get them off the camera, this one is actually hackable in the old fashioned sense...
Anyone has any info on getting this nifty LCD to work/interface with anything? (case modders...)
I would guess that even if you replace the battery - you will still be nice and krispy...
I have a recent model (serials do not match;-) and it still heats up nicely to provide that cozy feeling of "I'm going up in flames in a second" I so got used to...
Has anyone else noticed that in the metagroup TCO analysis, they compare a windows server running on a two processor intel machine, and a linux server running on (one or two - can't remember) MAINFRAME processors.
I mean - cm'on, perhaps they should have pitted a walmart PC with windows installed vs Linux running on a Cray server... The TCO takes into account the entire purchase of hardware, and in the Mainframe case - you probably looking at 16 processor machine to begin with, which kind'a spikes the price up...
But - the graph looks very convincing - and isn't it what it's all about?
I'm just dying to see this so called "academic study" of the history of Linux and the Open Source community get to see the light of day, and get tarnished so badly by everyone.
Mr. Brown is up for the ride of his life (probably the last one as I can't imagine anyone taking him seriously after his paper gets out).
Stop being afraid of reviews and books - the truth will let itself be seen...
(sorry for the karma whoring - this just drives me nuts!)
Or maybe to the developers who created such a piece of shit of an OS that you can't even connect to the internet without a days worth of patching and proyecting.

Maybe if Arab governments stopped teaching in their schools that Jews were bloodthirsty sons of monkeys and pigs, then Arabs might not be so humiliated every time "the Zionist entity" kicks their asses in a defensive war.
Totally with you here, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. A recent study in the palastinian population in the Gaza strip amongst kids in the 2-4 grade found that most of them (more than 87%) are suffering from anxiety, and wet their beds, and about 60% of them want to become 'Shahid' and commit a suicide bombing.
Any community that creates such an unbelieveable fu#&ed up generation does not deserve to be treated as nicely as they are right now. This is the result of ongoing and persistant brainwashing of kids who will have no purpose to their lives except for getting themselves killed as soon as they can.
I have see and heard some weird stuff recently, but this has really struck a cord with me, and as much as I appreciate the efforts that are underway to bring peace to that region, I can hardly see this happenning without some REAL leadership on the palastinian side that will pull these bad seeds out of the palastinial population and get some humanity back into these people.
And I call that a good reason to keep that Knoppix CD in my bag - it has it all (including the abovementioned "commercial" additions), and can save/read your preferences from a floppy.
Mandrake - get off the tree and start thinking about creative ways to get yourselves out of the financial mud you are in... (or find someone to buy you which seems pretty popular these days...)
Israel is not exactly a drop in the bucket. Don't look at sheer mass as an indicator to someones leverage on the market.
Israel is a highly saturated technology market, and as hebrew is ^H^H was supported exclusively by M$ for it's office suite, any marketshare that M$ losses is crucial to them, as this will mark the beginning of the empires demise...
Also remember that as the government switches over, then comes the businesses (including their offices in the US and europe, and then the rest of the citizens.
Nice move, also the work done by IBM, Sun, and the OpenOffice community, and the bidi effort in Mandrake has ought to do the work. Looking forward to a clean cut of M$ off the desktop - not just the Office suite!
I'm in the process of fighting my way in corporate to make sure that my newest creation will get what it deserves (Oracle on Linux), and this is just the kind of FUD that I am getting from management.
Stuff they hear (mostly from salesman and consultants that are M$ related and fear for their share of the pie once we start getting more Linux in) makes them ignorant, up to the point that I need to "re-evaluate" the OS descision because someone in the high places thinks that Win2K3 can do just as well.
I am just looking for that one great example (big datacenter, lot's of transaction processed, solid Oracle/Linux integration with 0 problems) as a reference to stuff in their faces and finally go out and start installing...
Cm'on, have you ever tried to refine your search? how obvious can it be that if you look for "flowers" you will stumble upon 90% of the usage of flowers (merchandize) and 10% of the other issues (gardening, research, etc...).
How about that - if you want to find how to grow a flower, search for "gardening growing flowers".
Duh
p.s. the article does suggest that a special mental link should be created between the person using the computer and the website he is surfing to - I'll type flowers and you will know that I want to know how to prune them...

Sheesh. besides - how do you run your servers?

In my experience - DSL will go as low as $27-$37/mo, and cable around $40-$50/mo.
Still beats dialup on my menu...

How about: by generating the need to create a patchwork of protections on your OS...

For crying out loud - it's supposed to _protect_ your computer - not be a target for an attack... And an ISS product of all... yikes.
I think I'm going to stick to my debian / iptables. Never had a problem (3 years same install and still counting), and it does not thrash my HD

At last a review that does not give you the classic "here is the index", and "the book has 3 parts, the 1st...".
Sounds like a really fun and informative read (i.e. not "secure your enterprise in 21 days"), will probably be on my reading list soon.
Thank!
