1. AOL is removing the biggest star on the net right now. Instant Messaging.
2. It will most likely use a version of IE, which people will call netscape, adding to the confusion (Mozilla is Netscape, IE is Netscape, Netscape is Netscape?)
3. Yet another stab at kiling innovation. At least AOL was playing with new features for the masses (IM, etc). Now it will be making a generic IE browser the popular tool.
Everyone I have shown Mozilla, has made it (or Firebird) their default browser. They were blown away by the speed, and features. Typing to find links in a page, tabbed browsing, popup blocking... very cool stuff.
Then when they hear that it's more secure, and won't automatically execute everything it downloads (like those stupid virus IM's spreading over AIM)... they love it.
So I suggest every geek pass a few copies around. If everyone does it... and a few others spread the word... Mozilla will get around.
Mozilla has had 0 marketing to this point. Start the effort.
I've turned out dozens of people. If everyone does the same, the userbase will grow very fast.
by updating your code.
I updated http://media.accettura.com last night to use a JS method recommended.
Seems to work in all browsers I tested at the the moment. No dialog from IE's new release...
only difference is JS is now required to see the object. But I don't think many people have JS still disabled.
I've been to the Inner Harbor several times in the past few years... each year is nicer and nicer. More and more touristy... but a nice weekend away from home.
With Camden Yards so near, it's a good weekend if you love baseball, and your favorite team is in town.
I wouldn't consider it to be dangerious for the most part. Fromt the stadium to the harbor is well lit, and crowded before/after the game. The convention center has good security.... and the waterfront is well kept as well.
Unless your somewhere that you shouldn't be... not exactly dangerious.
I would feel more unsafe in Timesquare with the large crowds than at the waterfront. And I'm in NYC a fair amount, grew up in the suburbs of NY.
I've worked with a media company, so I know their solution:
They are starting to use a faint watermark, across the entire picture. The watermark is individual to the tape itself (a number, letter, symbol or combo).
This way, if the tape is pirated... it's easy to trace back.
Each tape is signed out to a particular person. That person previously signed NDA's. Now they have to sign NDA's... and there is something to ensure they don't forget about it.
If the tape is leaked.... they know exactly who to go after. The tape's watermark will lead to the person responsible.
Not saying the product has no merit, or audience..
Just saying you can in theory do it yourself with an old system.
IMHO a good company would come out with a Linux distribution that was designed for running a fileserver. Just pop it in an old computer, and install everything. Easy config... that's it.

HA HA HA HA HA. Jobs must really love reading that.
But when your talking about mission critical, high performance, no-limit systems... your talking about solaris.
Solaris on one of Sun's boxes is really something. Combined with Netscape Enterprise, and Tomcat.. they are robust. These things really can take a ton of traffic, and not sweat it.
Not to mention their stability, and security.
For 90% of websites out there... Linux is the better alternative. They don't need the performance, power, stability of Solaris on Sun hardware. Will 5 minutes of downtime on Flashyourrack.com really kill you? Of course not.
But when it's a mission critical website, that needs to run... it's Solaris.
Solaris on Sun hardware hurts the wallet, but it's powerful. They can really take a beating and continue on.
P2P was never a target of the RIAA. It was the distribution of copyrighted material.
IIRC they sued several large ISP's a few years back over music being shared on websites. IIRC the MPAA also did the same.
These are easier cases, since you signup for hosting with a credit card. It's one person, and one ISP to deal with... it's pretty much an open shut case.
P2P has the twist of offshore servers, IP masking through proxy servers (and some speculate viruses will be used to proxy though other unkowing peoples computers and avoid lawsuits).
P2P is high profile because of the new technology.

It's hosted by AT&T. AT&T provides statistical services to it's customers IIRC.
Many hosting providers offer such services.
That's how the FCC is able to tell us how many vistors the site has. Without wasting all that time dealing with logs.

How much more geeky can you get?
So you don't want me bothering [at home] you...
Now you know how I feel.

Ironic the date.
The site's purpose is to critique ICANN for making the whois info available and public.
If NetSol would have implemented methods to prevent harvesters from accessing the information years ago, rather than months ago... no problems.
These guys are just rediculus.
Was Verisign bought by SCO?
I'm going to give up computing and buy a big pen and a giant stack of notepads.
I can see it now.
BIOS Error. Can not continue to boot.
Continue to boot to reinstall your BIOS.
Will go good with that Keyboard error "press F12 to continue"

We have to love them them now. Put sitefinder behind us. Verisign is an American company helping America.
IF we complain about sitefinder being an abuse of power... the terrorists win.
BTW: heard those servers are going to be powered by SCO software
[/sarcasm]
Distorts a bit.. But it's designed to withstand that.
Even resizing.
If you destroy the watermark.. you pretty much ruined the video.
Can't wait for the science fair's in school.
Use to be lots of rocktumblers, and electromagnets (nail with wire wrapped around it).
Now we get to see rich kiddies building Segways.
Sounds like something from the Jetsons.

Damn. Nobody ever recalled a poor boy's bicycle because it fall sideways when the riders energy runs out.
24 hours after release...
damn.
At least we know a patch will come about quick.
I have one of those USB memory keychain things (pretty cool stuff).
How can I create a persistant home directory on it?
I love Knoppix, and this was my big gripe.

I did.
I got an Apple Beige G3 Desktop (266MHz, 256MB RAM) system for $50 from my father's Employer.
Bought a 120GB WD1200 Drive (Drivezilla). And a A-CARD ATA/66 IDE Card.
Installed OS X. Installed Samba with Fink. (later upgraded to 10.2 where Samba through fink wasn't needed).
That's all.
AppleShare for connecting my Mac OS 9 System. SMB for my wintel boxes.
Could share a printer if I wanted as well.
SpamAssassin and pop3proxy.pl (aka SAproxy) allows it to serve as a spam filtering proxy server.
Usermin (part of Webmin) for changing password.
Apache with mod_DAV allows for WebDAV support when on the road (very cool I might ad).
Works like a charm.
The United States government is flying a spacecraft into another Planet.
Sound familiar?

Just blogged it. It's a quality quote.
Seriously. I use the system to organize my porn collection.
Now I have to find a new way to sort my lesbians from the goat porn, and the senior citizens gone wild series.
Blasted!
I've seen Sun's play real world against Linux.
Linux is cheap, robust, powerful.
But when your talking about mission critical, high performance, no-limit systems... your talking about solaris.
Solaris on one of Sun's boxes is really something. Combined with Netscape Enterprise, and Tomcat.. they are robust. These things really can take a ton of traffic, and not sweat it.

This is a little bogus...

So I can still watch Sopranos, Sex and the City, et. al.

Pretty cool info.
Seriously... is he?
Jelous that he didn't get part of that legal battle.
Now he can push his code in, and claim it's used without a license.
That bastard. He killed Kenny!
