I got 30 copies of Swen before going home last night, and at that point it wasn't yet included in the Norton virus definitions (yes, I did manually update to check).
CNet pages are now written/generated in XHTML. They include tags such as <meta name="description" content="Tech news and business reports by CNET
News.com. Focused on information technology, core topics include computers,
hardware, software, networking, and Internet media."/>. In HTML the slash is not allowed before the closing greater-than. Most HTML browsers will ignore this error, but it does make the page invalid as HTML and makes a mockery of the whole web standards campaign to pretend that XHTML can be substituted for HTML. There are also deeper semantic differences between HTML and XHTML, such as capitalisation of names in the DOM, that make XHTML unsuitable for general use.
Suppose I'm a spammer that spent a few dollars on the domain "foo.com" and I pay some more dollars to get a cert from CA #1 and spam away. This obviously gets noticed, and CA #1 revokes my certificate and blacklists the domain.
No they don't; you still own foo.com. Instead, your domain gets blacklisted by third parties.
3 years ago they announced they would produce a PalmOS phone, but then a little later they cancelled that. They were one of the initial investors in Symbian, but they only just released their first Symbian-based phone, and they have now sold their stake in Symbian. I don't think Motorola knows what the hell it's doing.
You probably can't replace the OS. Phones that can re-flash themselves normally only accept signed firmware updates. This may be a condition of type approval, as radio regulatory agencies and network operators don't want people screwing up cells with buggy customisations (one badly-behaved handset can make a whole cell unusable).
This is why security-conscious employers do not allow use of VPNs from home PCs. At one previous place of employment that had previously suffered industrial espionage, VPN connections were only allowed from locked-down laptops. In addition they issued hardware tokens that would generate time-dependent keys, and used those keys for authentication in addition to passwords. This should probably be standard practice.

Huh? Are you talking about a net installation? It takes maybe 10-15 minutes to install and configure the base system on a reasonably fast machine. If you try to install everything (barring conflicting packages) it'll take rather longer because there are a hell of a lot of packages - but why do that?
A 333 MHz processor is easily fast enough to play MP3s; that should take maybe about 10% of the CPU time. You are probably seeing the effects of high latency caused by poor scheduling.
No, it's a proprietary format. RTF files generated by Word are much like native Word files but with text-based tags instead of binary ones. They are a little more portable than native Word files. Microsoft does publish a specification (489K zipped Word document) for RTF, but I doubt that it covers all the details.
There is still the problem of uncompensated greed. The following paragraph in the report reads: "Educators in the U.S. want high-quality free textbooks, special programs for handicapped and disadvantaged kids, guidance counselors, school nurses, school libraries and librarians to staff them."
That's not greedy - those seem to me to be standard facilities for first-world schools, and I wouldn't expect to see them cut.
Also, busing, while expensive, is actually quite sensible in that it's more efficient and safer than having parents rushing around in cars and all converging on the school around the same time, as they tend to do in the UK. (It might be better still to have children walking and cycling to school, but that's not going to work for everyone, and parents who drive their children don't want them walking when there's so much traffic around the school...)
Now that I read a little more of the report (I haven't read it thoroughly - I only found it by searching for spending numbers) I see that there may be a staff problem. The spending of the other countries is converted to dollars using exchange rates. However, using this conversion general salaries are rather higher in the US. Teachers' salaries are hugely variable between school boards, but on average high school teachers don't seem to be paid so well compared to other professionals (though I'm finding it hard to interpret the figures in table 3). Maybe they need to offer more to get better teachers.

That name is already used for a series of rockets made by Shanghai Aerospace.

I thought conclusions were usually written first, then the rest of the paper written to support them?
Yes, but then they shouldn't serve them up as text/html.
You missed the mention of "SSL". I doubt they'll be using client certificates though.

If they've jumped on the XHTML bandwagon you can forget any hopes of getting valid HTML, because valid XHTML pages aren't generally valid HTML pages.
You might be thinking of Tony Finch aka fanf who has dot@dotat.at.
The headline is wrong and the parent comment is correct.
Perhaps the most well-known machine to run VxWorks was the Pathfinder probe.
Or maybe watching Battle Royale?
Don't hold your breath. MS was promising something similar for NT 4.

Managing the response of the free and open source software communities would be like herding cats.
We did that at the weekend.

Only spammers and idiots allow unconfirmed subscriptions.
