Login to a FTP site - ftp://user:pass@site/ - and select "Upload file" from the File menu.
I might still have to use IE instead of Mozilla as a poor man's FTP client. Even though it's just regarded as a very simple FTP client, I don't like the following issues:
1a. The file dialogue only enables you to select one file! 1b. Under Windows one can't drag'n'drop files into the window. 2. Mozilla appearently don't request a new list after a file has been uploaded.
If you are about to upload a bunch of files, Mozilla isn't your friend.
Please, please, please read the the code (or at least the announcement) before replying. You are totally off the mark here. In short: It's easy to create a webserver in PHP (everybody did it so I did too: http://ter.dk:4281/ ), but we are talking about a TCP/IP-stack as well.
And please, please, please don't mark any post "Informative", just because it is shorter than the original announcement.
In response to a lot of other bewildered posts:
Yes, PHP is able to run standalone, and has "always" been so. Just compile the CGI executable. Furthermore, it is now
split up in a CGI- and CLI-version. Hint: Using PHP from the command line
Yes, PHP is able to create TCP-connections and UDP-"connections" (in reality meaning just sending a package and retrieve a possible answer), and has been so for a long time (it was present yet unstable in PHP/FI, but worked fine from PHP3 - UDP-support was added later on). Hint: fsockopen()
Yes, PHP is able to listen to a port and has been so since PHP4.1.0. Hint: socket_create_listen()
Yes, PHP with process control enabled is able to fork and spawn childs, also since PHP4.1.0. Hint: pcntl_fork()
Okay, get ready for the explanation of the announcement: PHP is just relying on the underneath TCP/IP-stack. Adams example includes the TCP/IP-stack itself (including ICMP). That's pretty neat.
s* uses the machine byte order. You might want to specify big- or little-endian order, since the same code could give different results. Your code provides the following result on this system:

It doesn't work very well with the rest of mozilla, it seems - at least not tabs:
1. In 1.6, open a new tab, go to e.g. gopher://gopher.quux.org/.
2. Click on a link and QUICKLY close the tab, before the new gopher-page is loaded.
3. The gopher-page will still be loaded - and displayed in the current tab.
I haven't checked bugzilla yet for this... (and on a more personal note: even though I have filed a couple of bugs recently, I haven't much faith in the handling of bugs; http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104532 is a good example of a +2 year pretty annoying bug).
People really should not degrade themselves by pretending that they're not able to comprehend simple XML. If it's incomprehensable use Mozilla or IE (or a dedicated XML-editor) to view the XML-file.

For how long time have you owned a 10Mbit Ethernet card?
Even here a 1Mbit-line would usually be 1024000bits/second (at least here at the Danish ASDL-market) - and actually more than 1/10 of a 10Mbit ethernet-connection. Why complain?
[another issue is the ATM- and IP-overhead - but let's not get into that one as well:)]
In general, a lot of the stories at A List Apart is worth reading: http://www.alistapart.com/stories/
A site worth visiting is http://www.csszengarden.com/ - having lots of alternate stylesheets.
I'm currently working on a project with a designer w/clue. Everything regarding looks and design has moved into stylesheets. All I have to do is to structure the data in suitable divs/blocks (with regard of continuity for the simple text-based browsers).
I have a Danish keyboard. Fortunately none of the A..Z-keys are placed different (in some other European countries some of these keys are switched), but a lot of other characters (like -_+?,;.:) has been moved around. Some to make room for the three extra letters in the Danish alphabet; aeoa. Some other just to annoy us Danes, I guess:)
And I agree. Instructions to hit the "/?"-key was useless, since these two characters are placed on two different keys. Fortunately I am used to work on English keyboard-layouts. It was pretty easy to find the right key - but still annoying nonetheless.
If only the game would not run seriously slow on "old" Matrox-cards (G400, G450)... heck, even GTA3+VC runs acceptable on this machine; I don't see why such a simple game shouldn't.
SYSADMIN OF 15-YEAR OLD COMPANY - find 71,000 Linux installations hidden in his company.
Does this headline look familiar? Of course it does. You most likely have seen this story recently featured on a major nightly news program (USA).
This 15 year old company's sysadmin was cleaning and putting backups away when he came across a large brown department that was suspiciously buried beneath some red tape and a WindowsXP EULA in the back of the 15-year-old company's closet. Nothing could have prepared him for the shock he got when he opened the department and found it was full of linux installations. Red Hat, SuSE, Debian, Slackware and Gentoo - all neatly beowulf-clustered in labeled piles...
The simple answer: "gif" is pronouncable, and can even be conjugated - like "I just giffed all night long" or "Could you please gif that one for me". Or just as a noun: "I have a gif of you, 20oz. of lubricant and a cell phone - can I have a raise?".
C'mon, don't expect your manager to be able to pronounce "png" - he would probably switch the letters. I suppose a lot of./-readers have heard their boss talk about ASDL, IDSN, STMP or (the all-time favourite) HTLM!
According to IMDb Trivia for Futurama, the "Farnsworth"-character is actually named after Philo T. Farnsworth:
Professor Farnsworth is named after the inventor Philo T. Farnsworth, one of the pioneers of television, whose invention was premiered at the 1939 New York World's Fair, along with the Futurama exhibit.

Well...
Ask your local NOC about the capacity of 10Mbit/sec. Or how fast a 64Kbit/sec. (European) ISDN-connection is.
The "It's binary!" doesn't relate to all matters.
