I know reading may be difficult for you, but what you may not understand is a home weather station tied into your computer and the Magic InterWeb allows you to monitor the weather at home remotely. Even if you're 10,000 miles away. Wow.
This can be handy if your AC breaks (That means Air Conditioning, not you) and you need to have someone repair it while you're at a distant location.
I bet I'm not alone doing this. Decent weather stations are cheap, and it's simple enough to hook it into your box
and keep statistical models on a running basis. Using wx200d and an
Oregon Scientific WM-918 (sold under other names
as well) is a great solution for less than USD $200.
Granted, it's not true forecasting, but you can easily add your data to aggregate with other users at
Weather Underground and pull radar data from just about anywhere.
Me? I just like to know what's happening NOW, but it's also pretty handy to know what the temp is in your home "server room".
Tying all this historical data back into longer range forecasts would be fun. I've found TV forecasting to be pretty stale and inaccurate. How many of them have real meteorological degrees anyway?
My sportbike does +150mph, weighs 370lbs and can haul down from 60-0 in less than 120 feet (0 to 60 to 0 inside 5 seconds). I'd bet the Embrio could do better than that, just on less weight alone.
That's nothing. Your web server decelerated even faster.

The best thing about the defendant's response is that it has the spammer lawyers email addresses on it. Only if you want to provide some educated hindsight, of course.:)
The paptent speaks to the use of cookies to maintain a persistent state. Since I don't remember MS inventing cookies (who did?) there obviously is prior art. This part is my favorite though:
"In view of the many possible embodiments to which the principles of our invention may be applied, it should be recognized that the detailed embodiments are illustrative only and should not be taken as limiting the scope of our invention. Rather, we claim as our invention all such embodiments as may come within the scope and spirit of the following claims and equivalents thereto.

Granted, I know it's a n00b question. I looked at the Gamecube site and couldn't quite understand the gist of this. Anyone want to step up to the plate?
* Slashdotting is good for you.
The counter is now defensively configured, and is able to do something intelligent even under heavy load.

I'm sure management is happy to know that.
* The adrenaline kick of a slashdotting feels real good!
But it does eat time...I spent 4 hours Tuesday night getting the box reconfigured and back on its feet, and then just watching it. Late.

* Slashdotting is still good for you, as an exercise in work under fire.
The counter's configuration has proved that it stays up and running (as long as there is disk space around).
* A well-handled Slashdot load lasts longer and has more people in it than the load left after the server's been down for a while.

The volume of spam I get is somewhere in the neighborhood of 200+ a day. Granted, it's (nearly) all properly sorted and filtered with a combo of SA and Moz' filters. But... In order to report it to the Calif. AG, it has to adhere to the following guidelines:
"1. You are the recipient of the spam and you are a resident of California.
2. The spam was delivered via servers located in California (sender's, recipient's or intermediary server will suffice).
3. There is some indication that the spammer is operating in California, such as a California telephone number or address for orders. If you can identify the spammer and have information from other sources showing that the spammer is in California, that will also work.
4. The spam fails to comply with the statutory restrictions. To comply, the unsolicited advertising emails' subject line must begin with "ADV:", the first text in the message must offer a toll-free number or functioning email address for removal of the recipient from further unsolicited emails, and that statement must be in a type size as large as most of the other text.
1,2 and 4 are pretty easy. Proving 3 can be a real PITA, and means if I really want to work this hard I have to do a lot of legwork.
Granted, the end result may be worth it, but...
You should know that most users browse with their browsers useagent string set to look like IE.
Sorry, but your "most" does not reflect the real world. Even though "joe six-pack" users rarely use Moz or Opera, "most" probably don't bother to change the UA string, nor know how.
You'll learn all about this stuff once you get out of "uni" and join us poor slobs out here in the "Real World (TM)".
"FYI, they have now uploaded a new ES5 installer. I haven't installed it but
you can be pretty sure that they have removed their malicious code and will
soon claim I lied all along. See my original post for the MD5 sums of the

This came across the FD list yesterday afternoon. Typically, an announcement of this type would elicit a fair amount of discussion. Usually at leat *one* other person would have confirmed it, or at least rebutted the claim.
As of this writing, I haven't seen a single follow-up post.
Is it true? I don't know, Is it a hoax? I don't know that either. It has more than a few caveats about using the exploit, that's for sure.
What I do know is that that Geocities site with the exploit code will disappear bandwidth constrained faster than snot.:)

They keep on multiplying, getting in the way and serving no apparent purpose.

Honestly, I'd ask you if you were lost but you say you have a map?
d'oh. Never mind, those are lawyers for the defendants, who should be lauded. Say *nice* things, now.

1) Pay attention to the Internet.

Well, it is at a pretty busy intersection in the mornings. Sad thing is, that same fountain used to have a Netscape logo on it. ::sniff::
5) Security guard comes by, sees sign, has no idea what it means, and throws sign in the trash.
Unlikely. I've been in that fountain before. Security guards would wait until the junior guard comes in, then make him wade into the fountain.
