PHP will only attempt to set the Session cookie when you try to initiate a session. I think it is really bad form for your front page to be a page that contains a session initiation in PHP.
For a long time I have taken advantage of Mozilla and then Firefox's ability to pop up and let me know any time anyone hands me a cookie, quickly banning those sites that appear to be nothing but cross-site ad trackers.
Looking at the content of cookies, which Firefox allows demonstrates some interesting things, like my IP address more often than comfortable. Of course I love the "badly" written sites that try to hand me a PHP or ASP session cookie on the first page of the website. I usually nix those. At least tell me what you are doing for me before I decide to let myself be tracked.
Personally I won't go out of my way to block ads, but I will go out of my way to not allow the world at large watch my every click of the mouse.
On the other hand, the family members I invariably help with their computers regularly run Ad-Aware and delete cookies it identifies on a regular basis.
The guy thought that 9/11 was a hoax and thought he found evidence of UFO's and "Non-Terrestrial Officers" being transfered, thinking that there is some fleet of Anti-Gravity Spacecraft. Now he is facing 70 years in an American federal prison. That is a lot of work for nothing really show for it.
Silly American military for setting up Windows with blank administrator passwords too. Whole thing is kinda silly.
Can someone explain to me the difference between Ant and Maven? I have noticed almost everyone supports Ant, but there are people who also do Maven. Are there any advantages, disadvantages, are the different but overlap greatly, and why does Apache support what appears to me to be two competitive technologies...
Very confusing to someone who just has a high-level understanding of Apache world.
I thought we would probablly never be able to live in LeGrange points because of the radiation. Aren't they in the Van Allen belt? My understanding Van Allen radation is almost impossible to sheild against.
This chart gives a quick rundown of the percentage of U.S. based scientists who reported having engaged in questionable research practices according to the survey.
Well, I find the chart about 15% suspect, because as we know, surveys are manipulated by scientists...
I think my head just exploded from circular logic... *OUCH*
"...provide a smaller security footprint for hackers to attack."
"Web-based remote administration utilising SSL."
Is it just me, or doesn't that sound contradictory. Opening up your application, let alone your OS for remote hacking. Also, why would Microsoft even blink at enabling remote monitoring/logging of the websites your visit for government agencies? Tell me that that isn't going to be exploited...
I'm going to go out on a limb here and hazard a guess that if I said, 'NetBSD,'
Ooops... sorry didn't mean to offend those of us who are even more in the minority. Should I have also added Be, MINUX, FreeBSD, Darwin, AmigaOS and AtheOS?
Thank god... one less Windows user out there now. I am sorry to inform you that they no longer make motherboards for Windows as you might as well install Linux or buy a Mac...
Again, this isn't about _raising_ money, this is about how a campaign in a federal election can _spend_ their money.
I don't want the Republicans or Democrats going around "buying" "grass roots" campaigns, like the Republicans did during the last election, with their soft ball paid for bloggers and news media. They were creative in "paying" for them to tout "education reform" but why give them more ammunition to corrupt our speech process?
Actually the Supreme Court on many occasions has allowed Congress to limit speech in certain context. For example, copyright law, hate speech, slandor all limit our scope of our free speech. The campaign finance law is similiar.
This isn't a freedom of speech campaign, this is trying to get PAC money on the Internet and not allow restrictions. Basically it allows campaigns to do what they can't do now, pay for "free speech."
I don't see freedom in this. I can still blog away, as long as I am not accepting regulated campaign funds to do so. People bat this around like they are making us more "free" when all it does is allow the guys with money to influence our true freedom of speech.
This is like paying the New York Times to write a nice acticle about your campaign. The FEC doesn't allow that, nor should they allow money to influence one of the last bastions of true free speech.
Does this mean we can actually make phasers that produce slow photons so we can have cool special effects in real life like Star Wars and Star Trek? Then our super heros can dodge lasers.
I am sure this will be the next product on Think Geek.

If there ever was a poster child for switching to Linux, this would be it.
I wonder though, which Star Trek and other series sort of gloss over, is that if Martian bacteria did develop, seperate from ourselves, we would probablly lack any auto immune response to be able to combat them. We are the product a millions and billions of years of fighting other life forms for our existence. It would be naive of us to assume that other lifeforms out there would fundementally eat us for lunch, and the reverse being true.

Opera is like the BeOS. It's great, but unknown and unloved.
Unloved?! I will give you that BeOS was unknown, but unloved... seesh, loved was exactly what it was, and why it lasted as long as it did (and still does, those Crazy Germans!)
I noticed a couple comments that any private company keeping track of their customers should be made to disclose they are doing so. That seems more un-American and un-capitalistic then most things.
Companies will reap what they sow, and is the responsabilities of those of us who are American consumers know how we feel about that. Personally I don't want some yokel "abusing" the system to drive my costs up because I am a "good" consumer who doesn't want to make life difficult by screaming at the top of my lungs to a store clerk to take back something I just don't want anymore.
On the other hand, I want the company to realize the value I present to them, though I may not be as vocal as someone who is always upset. This type of marketing has an upside and downside. If you don't agree with, spend you money somewhere else.
Now on the other hand, when a company becomes so large that it is a inordinate market share (e.g. McDonalds purchasing of Beef, Microsoft, etc) then they have responsabilites like the Government has. Or if there is colusion between different entities that then act like a monopoly (e.g. Oil Companies) then we need to step in and ensure a true competitive market, because we can't go spend our money somewhere else.
Let us focus on real problems instead of companies just trying to manage their customers.
Well, it kinda sort of is. The last update was Kylix 3 which brought it in line with Delphi 7, which was the last navtive Win32 version, until the yet to be released Delphi 2005. Delphi 8 was.NET only. Delphi 2005 merges Win32,.NET (both OO Pascal and C#). I don't think they are planning a Kylix release after 3, but I might be wrong.
I still find it very cool and useful, and I am still using Delphi 7 for Win32. I have avoided Delphi 8 because it was only.NET (though it came with Delphi 7). On the FAQ for Delphi 2005 it asks if the.NET application will work on non Windows OS's and they say "well, in theory there is no reason they won't, but we won't test or approve it". So it is likely Delphi 2005.NET applications will work under Mono. Cool!
I agree about the showing off to VB and C++ developers that have to deal with MS crap... I can run circles around them, and I use Delphi just for personal coding.
I also agree BDE SUCKS, I have long used Allround Automations Direct Oracle Access for database access. That rocks, fully integrating the OCI drivers easily into your application and it there is a Kylix and Delphi version as well as I am sure a.NET version won't be too far behind for Delphi 2005.
