Well, it's certainly possible I just don't know how to set it up, but my directory requires a username and a password, and the dialog only allows you to enter a password.
I think that people who care deserve a browser with a soul
You hit the nail on the head, I agree. But, in contrast to most Slashdotters, most people simply don't care. What they want is to never have to download and install anything. That sounds scary to them.
The exact opposite is true. While more and more people are getting popup blocking software, the number of popups served is still increasing. The value to advertisers of popups is still very high compared to banner ads. Read the article, it's good, you might learn something.
Akamai has posted a notice on the website customers use to get reporting and manage content.
Due to a peering problem between ATT and UUNet, a subset of UUNet users may have experienced problems accessing Akamai delivered sites between 8-10pm EDT on Saturday May 22, 2004. The problem has been fully resolved.
Yeah, you're thinking high margin, I'm thinking volume selling. I don't know how many email addresses exist, but we're obviously talking hundreds of millions and up (let's play with 500 mil). You get a decent chunk of that number in a list (say 20%), assume small.1% success rate and you get 100,000 orders. That may be unrealistic, but it does show that things can add up quickly.
Not to be overly obvious, but the money comes from the people who buy the advertised stuff. They do indeed exist. Some of them may buy regularly. (Think anatomical enhancement pills that you need to "re-fill" every month)
Um. ..yeah. Just like Netscape 2 didn't support layer positioning either. ..may want to upgrade there buddy. Dreamweaver MX 2004 has hordes of CSS support. It's now hard to not create a page in DW not without it creating a compliant style sheet and a XHTML strict document.
Um, I have no idea how you think that my comment implied we don't have choice. I'm pretty sure I just said that we aren't replicators, our DNA is. That doesn't prevent you from doing or not doing anything.
I'd give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Someone who spent his time writing software to obviously circumvent restrictions he didn't like also obviously is joking when he says the RIAA has a great anti-piracy website. Or, maybe your right and he's a worthless weasel, but I took it as a pretty funny joke.
Despite the difficulties (and I have nothing monumental to say here), YES, YES, YES, YES, YES! I have to say thank you to the EFF, and those more actionably dedicated than I, for bringing this to a legal forum.
Yep, that would certainly upset me. I guess it's all about timing. I signed up for the current status quo and find my service being increased at no extra cost, so I guess it's all about perspective.
Knowing Slashdot, I'll explain that my punctuation is a well-reasoned personal preference, not an ignorance of a prescriptive grammar rule. If you're concerned about ? being outside ", read some Pinker and get back to me.
Congratulations, you found a way to complain about the fact that Comcast is increasing bandwidth at no extra cost. Anyone here think that's a little negative? What happened to the headline "Comcast Reverses Reduction in Bandwidth"? I'm not some pro-big-business-fuck-the-hackers economist or anything, but isn't that a "good thing"? Competition leading to better service at the same price?
Actually, from anywhere man-made cameras have taken a "Mars globe photo". As the article explains, Mars orbiters can take only pictures of strips of the surface, each at the same time of day. Those strips are reconstructed to simulate a globe picture, but do not show the range of night-time to daytime that a full globe shot, like this one, does.
No shit? I wish I had known that earlier, genius. I thought it was because of American hegemony. Or maybe because the Supreme Court is fascist, sorry, I forgot which loser cause I'm fighting for.
Slashdot Mirror
Um. . .isn't that the point of open source?
Funny how there aren't dozens of British competitors that had a chance in hell to win that the BBC could cover, huh?
Get a clue.
Dumping:
2. The selling of a product in one market at an unusually low price while selling the same product at a significantly higher price in another market. For example, a firm may sell a product in its home market at a price covering all costs and then sell the product in a foreign market at a significantly lower price covering only variable costs.

I could ask that I be able to provide a username and password to my ldap server so I could get my company directory. But no.

Light us up the bomb!

Interestingly XFree*^ (SHIFT+86) returns the correct site listed as number one (xfree.org). Yeah, I did it by accident.
I don't think so, the best game ever made was "ET" for the Atari 2600. Great instructions too.

I think it has been convincingly argued that we (individuals) are actually vehicles for replicators, the replicator being the genetic material itself.

Ah, but remember, there's only a one letter difference between networking and not working
