yah, it takes a long f-n time to test a patch that just removes the user@pass functionality...this patch is a joke, as well as thinking that IE/M$ is secure...
i'm happily posting this comment using firebird...
Really though, I wanted to see if they might have added a news piece on their site regarding what was already known to be a pending attack. I mean..they had to know right? Surely someone warned them, or does really -no one- like them. I think that's pretty likely. And being that McBride is pushing on with the lawsuits, I would say it's safe to say that he doesn't bother reading the news...
I've noticed that one one or two occasions, but only had to refresh once to correct the situation. Only have noticed this on slashdot, no other site I have visited has done this...
that depends on how much jagermeister is in the mix...then you might notice some effects, not much unlike the ones experienced when you drink the concoction...
i've read the posts about people saying about firebird crashes and whatnot...
I run firebird on both windows and linux...now for the moment I'm just going to leave linux alone, as most users out there (seriously, cmon now) are in windows mode.
I fully suppoty firebird, and try to get anyone I know to use it. As far as crashes go, it locks up less, needs restarted, doesn't need it's process killed as much as IE.
One of the biggest problems I see is flash, and thats due to people not writing flash entirely right, in that it's designed to work with the broken-standard of IE. Fine, I just dont browse those sites.
Firebird loads every bit as fast as IE (even tho IE is loaded at boot) And I cannot give up tabbed browsing. And you don't have to worry about the IE security holes.
I also use Thunderbird exclusivly for email. I've yet to have it crash once. It does everything I need.
Both firebird and thunderbird just seem so much more friendlier to use, and really -they both just work better than their MS counterparts (regardless of Outlook Exp, Full blown Outlook, etc)
I'm here to stay and look longily towards the next releases of each...
I will also continue is teaching friends and family about the benefits of both Firebird and Thunderbird, no matter that they ren't in a final version.
someone mod this up as interesting....taking a look at this, it seems like a very nice, hella complete walkthrough on setting that up...
thanks for the linkage;oD

2003: Year of Apache

I can confirm that one...
apache is just so much easier to configure and use...it runs so much smoother, have never had a hiccup or headache with apache.
i don't use php, so using 2.x isnt an issue for me.
as mentioned by others, patching/upgrading is a simple process, be it on linux or windows. no reboots of course, just take the server offline momentarily, run the upgrade, restart server. don't have to worry about your config files being overwritten or anything.
when i first started using apache, i tried both appache and iis, and just found apache sooo much easier to manage, used less resources - all the good stuff kids go for.
and like another person said...the guys over at apache have a lot more than just the webserver going on, if you havent checked out some of their other projects...by all means do!
pay something like 40 USD / month for 3mb down, 256k up...
i am fairly happy with the service...no downtime in 6 months, and in fact, I have had the same IP for the past 6 months...
Very happy with the speed too. Multiple tests at dslreports.com confirm the advertised speeds.
My only complaint is that their DNS servers are slow as balls. However, that is remedied by using a seperate set of dns servers (considering setting up one in house)
Also, they report on their site that their is supposedly a 1GB limit per month downstream...I easily surpass that each month between my roomate and myself, and have heard no complaints as of yet...
Slashdot Mirror
im on an athlon xp 2400+, with 768mb and Firebird loads everybit as fast as IE
I think that says something about a browser that's loaded when you tell it to load, vs. a browser that loads at boot...
ok, a lot of people posted about how there -small- banks work with mozilla/firebird...
my reasonably sized bank works great with Firebird. I haven't encountered one problem yet. Onlinebanking and all.

blad (best laugh all day)
You can go make a comment, why be lazy and assume someone else will do your bidding?
If you want something, you gotta go after it.
I share the spelling of my first and last name with the keyboardist from journey
:oP
makes it a lil harder to find me
Great News!!
I witnessed it on the first visit!

yea, i've seen an article or two on that car (or one like it) Is it green?
Besides, I can get Windows through my university for very cheap :P
:oP
Yah, it's amazing what you'll find on campus network shares
But you can do soem hella crazy things with em...

the northstar swap is my favorite...there's a guy around here that owns one and damn is that thing fast as hell...
yah, and not all of the cars are 'lemons' my definition, they just aren't very visually attracive....
i was hoping it was going to be like a list of models that had the most recalls or something..
The poll's options seriously lack, and is based on nothing other than opinion, no facts at all.
How did this make the news?
they never really had problems to really warrant labeling them as 'lemons'
They were just butt ugly.
there are definately other cars out there more fit to recieve "worst car ever"
yea, asia is a big fan of [H]ard|OCP and Hypothermia
Definately cool.
Firebird .7 here, XP Pro...
I've noticed that one one or two occasions, but only had to refresh once to correct the situation. Only have noticed this on slashdot, no other site I have visited has done this...

Actually, take a look over at ATI's drivers' page
They're for the entire Radeon line from everything from the 8500-9800
But like you said, no 64bit drivers - I wonder if ATI and Emachines have soemthing worked out for this?
apparantly, updating your software isn't worth the effort either...
*cough* 1.6 *cough*
I'm also in disbelief that Microsoft still haven't released a patch for the %00 bug in IE
There's a 'patch,' just not released by MS....d/l it here.

it's not that php wont work...just not fully supported or suggested, even the PHP folks dont recommend it...that's all i was saying...
what's the attempted access?
chances are its actually a computer that has nimda or code red, and the user has no idea
just make a redirect to a 404 or some other website for the error in question
someone mod this up as interesting....taking a look at this, it seems like a very nice, hella complete walkthrough on setting that up...

One things for sure, we can defiantely be an imaginitave bunch.
