They do, but when you're given the choice between the 2Ghz or the new nvidia board or the 386 or the TGA, (bad examples, I know) you go for the brand new buggy equipment. This thing hasn't been upgraded in 30 years! Stick with the old good equipment and you won't get too much work done. =)

Yeah, but you have to brew your own generally. Smarty is too much for me. But in response to what the poster said, you can embed HTML inside of your PHP code. Sometimes a thorough templating system can be hellish, and pointless. Wasting CPU cycles to re-format every time even though it comes out looking the same each time. But you are right, and I completely agree with you. It's best to keep code out of HTML.

You can also use $_REQUEST['id'] which gets it's data from $_GET, $_POST, and $_COOKIE, but be careful, it can be insecure like register globals too.

Whoa. Hold on there. Slashdot decided long ago that the DMCA is bad. Facts won't stop us now. It's too late. You should have made the argument along time ago and posted it with porn so we could see it! We've decided that the DMCA is bad, Skylarov is good. If Skylarov went out and began eating children, we'd fully support him because he's being crushed by the corporate world who do things like Enron and try to ban things like GOATSE.

Thank you. I'm glad someone said it! I think the big question should be did the life form down there in that extreme, or did it form up here in what we consider 'habitable' and evolve to survive down at those depths? I'm pretty sure the answer is that life formed in more what we consider to be 'habitable' and did not form down there, but I think it should also be studied so we know for sure. If we could prove that life could form in those circumstances. I think that would change some thinking.

SMP isn't the top priority. Giving up stability and security for the latest and greatest features are not what everyone wants. A friend of mine complained about FreeBSD not having good SMP support, I asked him if he had an SMP machine, he said "No." I hope that is enough to illustrate my point.
Sorry to go off on this, but mod the parent down if you mod me down please. People always trounce on any of the BSD's while praising Linux here.
Because OpenBSD is about security, not the lastest and greatest features. Linux is about the latest and greatest features. Since the economy went south, most of the peopl working on any of the BSD's lost their jobs or were unable to continue working on the BSD's during corporate time. Where the BSD's have corporate backing and private backing, Linux is mostly private backing, i.e. people at home working on it. Again, things are changing, but everyone has their preferences. No one is going to simply give up OpenBSD to go to Linux, if they need SMP, that is the best route. But from OpenBSD's web page:
"Only one remote hole in the default install, in more than 7 years!"
So they all have their uses, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD. =) Live together, work together, don't kill each other.
That's why in the software world, we own the software and the source code, and we give them a license to use it(generally nonexclusive). That way they can't resell it not matter how hard they try.

Guru.com has something else to say. They say if you are not an employee, you keep the copyright to the code. The people who pay you to develop it are granted a nonexclusive right to use what you've created. The fact that they get something that accomplishes their goal is their monetary investment coming back to them. Not the right to sell and resell the code to make millions while paying you a few thousand.
That's just what guru.com says, and it is always best to have everything in writing, and it is always best to consult a lawyer, not a site like guru.com (or even slashdot.org, although we all love pointing out this fact every time this question arises over and over!)
An infiltrated client, considered trustworthy by the server, if a break-in of the server. Thus, to secure a server you must secure your clients. Whether it be an overflow in IE that installs a key recorder and gathers the passwords to the server of an encrypted e-mail system. Suddenly you have access to that users e-mail, and all outgoing e-mail can "come" from that user. Secure clients are as necessary as secure servers.
But what about the voting citizens? They're alot smaller, some of them do care what kind of asphalt you use. They want you to use the stuff bought from the discount company that's the same quality as the stuff your brother is selling, but for about $100k more(wonder where that money is going?). Alot of the voters do care, there just aren't alot of the voters these days.
Even DSL is going to be a shared node, depending on the ISP you get. Say they have 50 DSL customers and only a T-1 Uplink? At the price they are selling DSL some of the companies can't even afford that. It's shared, it's just a matter of where.
As far as servers go, who cares? AT&T has one server that scans for any unauthorized servers, and my portsentry firewalled that machine a long time ago. If they can't automatically test it, how will they know? And they do support Linux/Unix, although I am running FreeBSD without a hitch, and they understand that this stuff comes with servers already running.
I'm not familiar with other cable companies, but I know roadrunner in Houston does not require cable TV, and AT&T in Dallas/Ft. Worth does not require cable TV either. In fact, they will you give the local channels and the preview guide channel free with the cable service when they install it. They are two different companies too you must realize, if you call one to complain about the other, they transfer you or give you anothe 1-800 number to call.
DSL is not something as simple as sticking a DSLAM, and a DSLAM is actually a shared access node also. The phone wire itself must be update and in top condition, and IIRC DSLAMs can support about a T1 in total transfers at once, no matter how many people there are.
Well I agree on same-speed upload/downloads, but I've never had the need to upload anything large and as long as I can download at speeds much faster than my brother could on DSL at peak hours, I'm content. =)
Use common sense. I use AT&T@Home. I have portsentry on almost every conceivable port, including 21, 22, and 23. SSH is the only service running, and on a completely different port. (Portsentry = Access a port and it performs an action on their IP, and in my case, it firewalls them). I'm running FreeBSD, and have over 200 entries in my firewall. Some were obviously false IP's, (111.111.111.111), but the person apparently didn't try to portscan me again. Yeah, portsentry isn't some god-send or anything, but it sure as hell helps.

OpenBSD has had IPv6 since version 2.7 out in June 2000.
