Soes this work with Chrome Frame running in IE running in IE Frame running in Firefox running in WINE running in Linux running in Virtual Box running on Windows?
no, because the firefox extension is called IE Tab (or IE Tab Plus), not IEFrame. Still, it would be interesting if someone tries it.
GE is the same way. They have a/8 but www.ge.com is not in that block. Interestingly enough, www.usps.gov is in their/8 range, but www.usps.com is not.
I was part of a group project my senior year in college. Our project consisted of a website with several interactive java applets. I went to make a backup of the project (backups are important, you could lose all your work!) and I forgot that the location I was backing up from and the location I was backing up to were actually the same place on the file system (one was mounted over the network). This resulted in all our files getting corrupted. Specifically, each file was replaced with one of the same length as the original, but all NULL characters. I was pretty worried, but I eventually had to tell the team that I had lost the project. Fortunately, we were able to recover the html and java applet files from someone's browser cache, and used a Java decompiler to get java source that we could edit. After that, we decided that it might be a good idea to use CVS:-)
When I was in college, my monitor died on my desktop (that I also used as a server). I spent about two weeks running the computer blind (with tricks like you mentioned of using the 'find' command to make the hd light blink so I knew I was at the command prompt). For tasks that I absolutely needed to see the output of, I'd pipe them through lpr (to my old dot matrix printer.) I actually set up the printer as a tty at one point too. Since it was a dot matrix printer, it wasn't page based, so you could actually use it almost interactively.
Are you kidding? Everyone that isn't a 'computer person' is still using their daughter's name...
Still, "Random Frequent Flier" is not crackable with this brute force method... Not to mention that other child first names can hurt the attacker - remember little Bobby tables?
nice, a Hitch Hiker's Guide ref and an xkcd ref:-)
I'd agree if a) PDFs were easily convertible to other formats, b) they rendered at something a bit snappier than "as slow as they possibly can and still have anyone read them," c) were easily editable, d) weren't the current favorite attack vector for malware writers.
All of those things apply only to Adobe Reader. There are a lot snappier PDF viewers, and even OpenOffice.org reads and writes them.
I vote for Iceland. They would like to embarrass Iran for giving I-countries such a bad name, during an era when I-anything sells like, well, ipods. Iceland don't want to tip anybody off to their Dr Evil-like powers.
And of course, Iceland has lots of volcanoes, required for any self-respecting Evil Overlord's lair...
Don't go thinking that you'll be able to just print replacement parts. 3D printing/reprapping is going to be as encumbered by copyright issues as video and audio is.
It's already completely legal to create knockoff replacement parts and to sell them with information stating their application so long as you do not misrepresent yourself as the company which made the originals, for example by improper use of their logos. This is already done for body parts, sensor/sender units which basically consist of a potentiometer wrapped up in some custom plastic, trim pieces, window seals, glass pieces, and basically every other piece (including interior trim) where there is sufficient demand to create a lookalike.
Or in other words, this problem has already been addressed where it applies to automotive parts, and it is not the issue you claim it to be.
I wonder how that applies if the design of the car in question is covered by a patent

Indeed, there's already a company selling airplanes as homes commercially, http://www.airplanehomes.com/. The airplanes are mounted on a swivel, so they can face into the wind.
Plone is a CMS, Confluence is a wiki. Incedentally, both products are quite good. I used Confluence at a previous job and it is a very nice wiki. We used it because of it's tight integration with Jira, an issue tracking system by the same software vendor.
I seem to recall that the reason they were called OpenOffice.org instead of just Open Office was because someone else owned the Open Office name. Does anyone know the status of that trademark?
I don't know about AT&T, but Verizon does bill you normally, even if you're using a femtocell.
With the AT&T device, they have an unlimited minutes option (that probably costs extra, but nevertheless is available), where all calls that originate on the femtocell are not charged towards your plan. Roaming to and from the femtocell works exactly the same as to normal cell towers. That means you can start a call at home, talk for hours while driving around, etc. and still not be charged for it.
This is my philosophy, too. Who needs to spend $50 to $60 on the latest and greatest games when you can pluck plenty of gems in the $10-20 range from a few years ago? Being able to play the latest game right now is just not worth the premium to me, and I suspect many gamers feel the same way.
does corkscrew use CONNECT? If so, it won't even get past my proxy at work unless the server in question is using port 443. That's not hard to do, but it still is annoying to listen to ssh on port 443, if you want to also serve https on the same server.
Slashdot Mirror
I'd certainly choose to opt out of illiteracy on Slashdot. Is there an app for that?

*headdesk* You didn't read any of the half dozen times I mentioned I wasn't talking about and don't use Acrobat Reader?
no, I didn't. I was only replying to the comment I saw.
To be honest, I haven't personally seen it, but my friend told me that it was true, and he's usually pretty reliable about that sort of thing.

Was I the only one thinking about Amigas and Alphastations?
Amigas had so much offloading that you could pull the CPU out and still move the mouse pointer.

Ig Noble... Here we come!!!
I agree, this is almost a shoe-in to win an Ig Nobel!
Spelling mistake, or light-brown brogue reference?
no, it really is spelled Ig Nobel

Why is fuel a problem? Wasn't that solved with ramjets?
Now shielding to block the radiation from that is another problem entirely.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. I wonder why there's not more discussion on Bussard ramjets.

Roaming to and from the femtocell works exactly the same as to normal cell towers.
Roaming from the femtocell works exactly the same. You can't roam to a femtocell in the middle of a call, at least with the at&t 3g microcell you cant
I stand corrected
I don't know about AT&T, but Verizon does bill you normally, even if you're using a femtocell.

Bos Wars is a not-half-bad futuristic RTS. Not exactly a Starcraft clone, but still fun.

I agree with the parent. UDF supports large files (up to 16 EB) and as the parent said, is writable on most modern OSs
