I live in close proximity to the Caltrain tracks. There are times when the freight trains that run at night are loud, but bearable.
The problem is that these locomotives will likely be put in areas where "public resistance" is weakest. Industrial areas? Cool. Out in the boonies? Even better.
But someday, I'm going to need power to my local grid and some big ass (yet cool looking) locomotive is going to park by my house running at full steam (heh) for a few days.
That might suck. I frankly won't care (gotta keep my UPS battery charged) but the cranky neighborhood association will.
Well, then don't smoke. Simple. Can't you think for yourself? Do you really think the general public should be spoonfed propagandist pablum, from either side of the fence?
Me? I'll be puffing away on a Marlboro 100 while I enjoy one of your sheep, Mr. MadFarmAnimalz.
Those are precisely the ones where things get all jammed up and nobody can get on, like the Yanni concert at Giza. No?
Please oh please tell me you just read about that somewhere....

Chuckle... Like some of us old-timer heavy users had years ago. There was a time when the Well charged per hour. It was somewhat cheap if you had local dial-up but not so much before they were connected to the 'Net at large.
I doubt the Well will dry up, there are too many people there that have cash and will *NOT* let their precious @well.com email addresses disappear.
Of course properly written functionality test scripts (doing what the user does) will find most bugs.
I beg to differ. This is how most developers test their code as well, though manually.
If you're just testing to make sure your code does what it is supposed to do you are likely in BIG, BIG trouble. Users (and black hats) do just the opposite.
Focus just as much on making sure your code doesn't do things it WASN'T designed to do. Or risk a CERT or Security Focus advisory...
Let me get this straight. You state that Andreesen, the guy primarily responsible for promulgating browser technology for the masses, is wrong based on....based on what ?!?
And you base this assertion on what ?!? Something you read in Time Magazine or Wired? Perhaps you should read up a bit from knowledgable sources before you jump down someones throat.
Marc was a poster boy. Nothing more, nothing less.

Pardon me, but you refute yourself. In an amusing way for sure, but the QA guy in me just had to point it out.:)
1) Grab and apply the "pinball" theme.
2) Turn your browser on full screen.
voila. Single line controls (unless you're using tabs, of course). Kinda cool, but you are limited to full screen for now. Give it a week, and someone will hack something together.
Any good McGuyver-ish hacker that can't get into one of these with a pair of pliers, a long thin nail and some patience (read 5 minutes worth) isn't worth his salt.
Or so someone told me.:)
AT&T finally came out earlier this year and unhooked my "passive piracy" cable. Can I help it if it was hooked up when I moved in?
I did however choose to go fully legal instead of poking around and picked up the local channels over DirecTV instead.
Of course, I don't have the RF bleed issues you speak of. I had DSL anyway, and am still happy with it over three years later.
No trolling here. True story. Apache, IIS... you name it. Perhaps it's a fault of non-patched systems, but it fails all over the place, and sometimes spectacularly.
When it works, it works great. darin@netscape.com will be including a release note, but it will still be possible to enable it.
A Bugzilla search using description or summary of "pipelining" brings up a bunch of entries, but the main bug is here:
I'm just scared that the Moz parties may turn out to be around a campfire singing gospels and praising the Lord; not that there's anything wrong with it... if that's what you are:)
Obviously you've never been to a Moz party. The only people that will be pledging their faith are those that swear on the bible they'll never drink again.:)
I'll bet you a buck (ok, 99 cents) that they encode a simple identifier into the MP3. Something of course you and I could get rid of in a heartbeat, but that Joe-User P2P wouldn't plan on.
Marked money, my friends. Something to think of....

While you didn't deserve a troll rating for that, I'm still amused. ;) sick puppy. down.

And therein lies the problem. Spankings hurt for what, a half hour at most?
If you have some babe cred as well, I suggest applying for this job.

Sounds like a graphic card could do lots here. Sounds like the Olde Giant Box gets onto some Limitationz here my friend.
Huh? The wench is making banner ads, ferchrissakes. Give her a windows box and hope it never gets beyond safe mode.

Nifty. ASP has also opened up a bazillion documented security holes.
"Where do you want to drive your bus through today?"
Personally, I'd rather be part of the solution.
Whoops. Bad example. Broken (well, not technically, but lots of sites won't render with it on) and it's not going to be fixed for 1.0, unfortunately.
To each his own. Welcome to the Internet.
Now go home. :)

....is that /. paid Katzs' AOL bills (to the tune of some $1500) over three years. now that's enough to have to charge for some ads.
Yeah. Then when all the AC's got pissed off, we could sell our UID's on eBay for thousands! hehehe.
