Add some onions, a bit of salt, sprinkle some parsley, and serve with corn, lettuce, and sweet potatoes and you have yourself the biggest ceviche serving ever accomplished.
If I understand this mess correctly [correct me if I'm wrong], ITunes's App store is the only "legit" way of installing software into the device. That's one big reason why jailbreaking is still relevant IMO.
Here is Roger's Early Cancellation Fee for the IPhone:
"The ECF is the greater of (ii) $100 or (iii) $20 per month remaining in the service agreement, to a maximum of $400 (plus applicable taxes), and applies on each line in the plan that is terminated."
So waiting a month and then canceling will cost you $700 vs $175 with AT&T
I'm not sure how accurate the article summary, it's a little hard to believe. Judging from it my reaction would be: What funny guy this Jaaksi character is!. I wonder if he would also like us to do his dishes, take his dog out for walks, and wash his car.. all this while hacking away at code he can use for free which then he can lock us out of as well. Would he like a foot massage too?
heh, funny enough as soon as you mentioned ISP based from Montreal, I knew who you meant. I used to be with them (or the co. they bought) when they were accent.net back in 96-97 and total.net later on. Great service but changed to Shaw Wave as soon as it came out. Glad to hear they're still around.
I can't believe they could actually get away with this. There goes VoIP. This basically leaves us with Rogers and Bell to choose from. Period. Since Bell is still mainly a telephone company, I can't imagine Bell being too happy with customers switching to VoIP providers either (same with Rogers, they also offer a home phone service. ). If they can get away with throttling their internet provider competition or flat out lobby against their existence, what's to say they won't plain out choke out VoIP as well? Or Skype? Or "Youtube" - because they "compete" against their sat service. Where does this stop.
We, citizens, need to light a fire up the government's ass to step in on this one.
It is also worth checking out the OLPC wiki entry on Arahuay, Peru, where the first pilot project was set up. Very interesting account of the successes and obstacles the project has gone through there.
Exactly. The article is misleading. If you look at the breakdown by methods of intrusion you will see that the great majority of top reasons are actually related to application bugs and misconfiguration rather than the web server itself. Very little can be done about that and the fact that Apache is the dominant web server only adds to the numbers:

For a second there I thought I read "Rogers Communications" and "brilliant" and "engineering" in the same sentence. I thought I had been kicked to an alternate universe where I wouldn't be able to escape. I am glad to be back.
Except that he said "I typically download". And even if he did rip his own CDs, if those CDs have copy protection, we already know it can be frowned upon by the DMCA. There are a lot of ways to step into one of the legal mines setup by the the MAFIAA.
Long live Mosaic and the N. That 8bit pron you delivered on my desktop during the mid 90s opened the door for many good times. You shall be missed old friend.
Except of course Google doesn't seem to know how to add or it's missing a few elements. Out of curiosity I took a look at that 76k page (http://www.howstuffworks.com/web-page.htm). Firefox reports the HTML itself at around ~11.8KB. Looking at the media tab reveals several files ranging from 0KB (why are they sending empty files? mind you, still using bandwidth, HTTP overhead and such) to 55KB. A rough estimates puts the page at more than 76k. This can be further analyzed by looking at it through a website optimizer such as this one which reports it to be around 180k (more than twice the size Google reports it as). Note that 180k will most likely translate into a much bigger figure as it is stored in the browser's internal data structures.
So yes, the gp is right. Websites nowadays come with a plethora of objects that need to be loaded and processed. Most of the time websites are bigger than people think, even bigger than some web developers think it seems.
Interesting, I thought I was the only one. Why is it that every time I read about Microsoft related technology it's always an acronym salad. Not even commonly used acronyms either, they use acronyms for their own way of calling technology xyz. It's almost like they do it on purpose..
Slashdot Mirror
But if it's "open" why does it matter if it's T-Mobile who will be first. I can use it on my provider right......
"..the sort of thing that the President might want to know about."
or not. The same phoenix twitter page says that the reports claiming there was a White House briefing are untrue.
They can't even manage to get out a decent web based mail service and they want to have a whole OS on the web? Really?
I'm not too familiar with MS's services on the web but is there one that displays MS's competency on a web environment?
Once the index reaches a google (or rather a googol), the universe explodes.

They don't even have to include the source code in the box as long as they provide a way to download it from somewhere.
Yup.

WGA was the last drop for me.

Sure, the same type of "good" as crack ...
In other news, Jimmy De Brondi, a local crack dealer at Sando-Brando University sues Microsoft for illegally using his patented business practice.
/me checks the URL. Yes, it says slashdot.org . wtf is going on? I'm scared.

It is also worth noting he actually did his undergrad in Computer Science and Economics. MBA from Harvard, Linux user, not too shabby for the role.

Apparently that has been fixed now? A change on the way Vista stores settings for default browser it seems.
