Do the Firefox developers really think, that web designers develop sophisticated CSS layouts, test them on all kind of browsers, come up with ingenious hacks to make them work even on IE, just to have a standards compliant and validating HTML site, and then use this ping attribute to destroy all this work?
And I thought Firefox was pushing standards compliance. It seems that as soon as they gain serious market share, developers think they can "improve" things on their own, and repeat the mistakes of Netscape Navigator and MSIE by "enhancing" HTML with their own badly designed elements and attributes.
But we already know that hubris is one of the chief virtues of a programmer.
Why should site developers use the ping attribute to track users, if there are solutions already that the user can't disable. The ping attribute will simply never catch on and there's not a bit of control users will gain.
These are exactly the same problems as with Flash movies. Basically it boils down to the fact that you can't address different "pages" of a website with their own URL. This fundamentally breaks the concept of the world wide web.
But like the poster above me said: For web applications AJAX is a viable solution. For web sites it should be used carefully.
At loads that wget or a human user will generate, 1/response time equals the load at 100% utilization of the application (not 100% cpu!), so if the average RT is 0.10 seconds, 100% utilization will happen at 10 requests per second (TPS).
That's just wrong. You mixed up bandwidth and latency.
Yeah, sometimes bands have odd matches, but they're usually far away from the center. The closer the matches are to the center the better they match. And most of the time these odd matches are very popular bands/artists like Madonna or Brittney Spears which are more likely to turn up.
A very similar concept that actually works is www.music-map.com. This engine takes the input of all users into account and really let's you discover new artists from the genres you like.
You know, it takes some time until a comment gets a rating of 5. At the time I write this the grand-parent is at 4 and soon it will be at 5. Don't panic!
Yeah, it's just too funny to watch Walter Freiwald and this other guy claiming that with Zeta you don't need any drivers, all your hardware will work out of the box, you can open and edit all your MS Office documents, you get $2000 worth of software, etc. But I'm sure there are a lot of desperate German Windows users buying into all of this.
Are you trying to tell OS X is free? Windows XP came bundled with my computer, too, but that doesn't mean it's for free. SP2 is free, so are OS X 10.3 updates. But OS X 10.4 will cost almost as much as XP Pro, and I wouldn't consider it a major upgrade.
It's also worth noting that Hitler's party NSDAP never got more than a little over 30% of the votes in elections and he basically came to power through a coup d'etat.
I use "no-archive" on several websites, and they don't seem to get penalized. From my observations one of the most important things for a good Google ranking is still page rank. I would check the number and quality of backlinks of your site and the sites ranking higher than yours. Maybe that's the reason.
You're not completely right. If the b version number is increased, the on-disk format doesn't always change. Sometimes you can upgrade from a.b to a.(b+1) without a dump/restore.
2.6 is a server release as well. All the scalability work doesn't matter much for desktop users with 50-100 processes. And people do care about the IO rewrite and large block devices.
I'm a sysadmin who worked very hard to get a/24 listed in SPEWS delisted.
Lucky you. One of our providers is listed for having hosted spammers. The last spam report is from 1.5 years ago. All of the reported spam sites were shut down or have moved at least one year ago. I checked it myself when some of our mails began to get blocked.
The problem is, SPEWS has no delisting policy at all. Their website is rather mysterious about that and only suggests to post on NANAE. I have even tried that (as a customer of our provider).
A blacklist requires a careful review if providers have cleaned up their act. And if they do, they should get delisted fast. But that's something SPEWS obviously doesn't care about.
If you got delisted it probably was mere luck. Someone at SPEWS read your public postings, but I have the impression that rarely happens.

Huh? How could this be rated +5 Insightful?

It's funny, because it's joking about one of the standard Slashdot comment. Just like "Imagine a beowulf cluster".
And I wonder how well Cygwin runs WINE...
But for web development "tools" like Perl, Python or Ruby fit the problem much better than PHP.
What I get for my money? Last time I checked FOSS software was free.
Aargh, someone beat me to this.
But it should be mentioned that this quote is from the film Half Baked (1998).
This link goes to a Wikipedia article about the German psychedelic trance project "Electric Universe". I think you mean this link.
Even worse:
PowerPoint?

How could this be moderated as Troll? It's funny. Also notice the low uid.
Well, that Oracle guy wants some "clustering" features and other people want "virtualization". I had expected a little more, too.
