No Character Encoding Found! Falling back to UTF-8.I was not able to extract a character encoding labeling from any of the valid sources for such information. Without encoding information it is impossible to reliably validate the document. I'm falling back to the "UTF-8" encoding and will attempt to perform the validation, but this is likely to fail for all non-trivial documents.
So what should I do? Tell me more...

You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute.

You have used the element named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not define an element of that name. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Frameset" document type to get the "" element), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "" or "" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
Line 90, column 16: an attribute value must be a literal unless it contains only name characters
You have used a character that is not considered a "name character" in an attribute value. Which characters are considered "name characters" varies between the different document types, but a good rule of thumb is that unless the value contains only lower or upper case letters in the range a-z you must put quotation marks around the value. In fact, unless you have extreme file size requirements it is a very very good idea to always put quote marks around your attribute values. It is never wrong to do so, and very often it is absolutely necessary.

Theres nothing wrong with using GPL code at your job.
I've been reading this thread and it appears that the debate is all due to the wording of the original poster. In any case, he did say that anything he wrote in the past became their's, IF he brought it into one of their projects, but only if.
Anyway, the company has rights to ALL the modifications he has made to the GPL code (even the ones before he worked there), and they can use that code in house or patent it (only the changes), but if they wish to sell it or otherwise distribute it, they have to follow the letter of the GPL.
Derivatives of GPL code are being sold all over the place, thats why they have to include a link to the GPL portion of the code or provide the actual code on the same cd.
if they have a computer after the riaa/fbi/whoever are done with them.
I'd bet theres something you have to sign that says youll delete all copyrighted works to which you do not have listening rights and swear to be good for the rest of your days and that they now own your immortal soul.

So you get disfigured in a fire, accident or other tragedy and you cant call 911 or a friend?
It should be an optional security feature. Saying 'soon you'll have to take your picture to make a call' sounds a bit scary and annoying. Isnt this feature trying to protect the customer from unwanted charges anyway?
Seems to me it should just replace the old 3-4 digit lock code or something, but still just be something you activate when you're worried.
Sorry to post onto myself, but I forgot to mention something.
The author mentions the name 'slowaris'- solaris, when left default, used to be rather slow indeed- but there are pages and pages ($1,500 worth of manuals we bought at one point in time before on-cd manuals) and many many classes you can take that teach you just how tweakable solaris is. The problem is that some of that tweaking to make it fast is incredibly complex and/or hidden away and you need an expert to show you.
To the people who call it slowaris, they really just don't know how to make it work for them.
That's like buying a mazda 626 and complaining when the idle speed isnt perfect, and it won't go past 120 due to the governor. You read some manuals, and/or find a mechanic who really knows it inside and out and those problems can be fixed and itll run like butter.
In any case, solaris 10 moves just a few of the streamlining customization features to the front and makes them easier, but there are still a whole basket of easter eggs and other customizables that only someone who's spent a lot of money on classwork would probably know.
So before you count solaris 9 and before out, learn some of the behind the scenes. And as for 10, if it ain't perfect out of the box, there's probably something you can do about it.
Solaris zones are way cooler than one paragraph could explain- you can take a zone and move it to a duplicately configured machine (ala flash install or otherwise) in a heartbeat.. among other things..
the reviewer had trouble installing without rebooting part-way through.. the way it sounded, he could only install the mini root and then reboot.. I just did a solaris 10 install friday on a Sun V480 box and not only did it install all 4 cds before rebooting into the actual OS, I did all of the package selection at the beginning and didn't have to wait for anything - magic of DVDs! In any case, i'm still pretty sure that you can do the package selection in front without having to twiddle thumbs between cds (eg package selection is not on a per cd basis)..
Those were just a couple problems with the review I saw.. I don't think they really know solaris well enough to be reviewing it and have it considered worth much.
I had one of those handheld scanners, you rolled it across the page and the wheelie bar on it picked up the speed. I believe it came with OmniScan software, but I cant remember what brand the stupid thing was.. perhaps actually made by OmniScan.. IIRC it was gray.. It may have been a grayscale scanner, I can't seem to recall that either..
Then i bought a scsci UMAX color flatbed for like $400 on sale open box;o)

On an aside, we used to print specially formatted files that only update the LCD text on our campus' lab printers (rather than print a page).. So we're write things like 'Look Behind You', 'PC Load Water', 'Hydrolic Fluid Low', 'Engine Fire', ' Meltdown Imininent', etc etc. It was rather fun to watch on the lab's net camera and see the looks on peoples faces.
as discussed elsewhere, USB2 is far higher in CPU workload and rarely achieves its max throughput whereas FireWire does so regularly. So tech spec and practice remain separate.
All told, firewire is better, but if USB2 is fine for you, you dont need anything extra, otherwise just go buy the cable for the $20 and forget about it.
