What difference does it make, since you have to show this card to everyone all the time anyway. It's already public information or at least semi-public.
A friend at "3" (the first 3G network to roll out in UK) showed me a working 3G phone, it was made by NEC and on the back in small print "Qualcomm CDMA"
Extremely neat phone system by the way, 384kb/s mobile data via USB port *drool*
I think it's a troll. I cannot believe that journalists get invited to hang out for days on end cracking open beers with Bill Gates and assorted other big noises and getting to hear the real deals going down.
In fact the whole e-mail is AMAZINGLY reminisccent of the famous "Bay Aryaan" troll from www.fuckedcompany.com !
Doesn't it suck to be Microsoft; you come up with some at least half-sensible idea, something that under normal circumstances people would debate the pros and cons. But everyone so little trusts them that the natural reflex response is "noooo!"
Microsoft: "Hey what if we abolished spam?"
"Screw you! An obvious attempt to embrace and extend!"
Currently I am presenting completely bogus user agent strings (for example how about being a misconfigured version of a Cisco PIX v6 beta antivirus proxy or some such other nonexistent crap.) MSN page still shunts stuff off to the left even though I'm definitely not using Opera.
Actually freessl.com do issue free 1-year SSL server certificates, although they also do chargeable ones. They are trusted by modern versions of IE; older versions and other browsers will yak on them but for most general web SSL purposes they work just fine.
Hey I have a cable connection with a non-fixed IP and I'm running a mailserver via dynamic DNS. So I certainly don't need someone blocking my port 25 thankyouverymuch!
Typical quote from their marketing material: "Imagine replacing a cumbersome HTML/DHTML/Javascript interface with a simple and elegant cross-platform solution." (Yeah, one that just happened to be owned by us.)
Macromedia got large amounts of press coverage for its recent Studio MX release and most of it is written to suggest that junior HTML has up till now done a fine job for kickstarting the web into existence, but now it's time to let a real man take over the boy's job!
Not that I am entirely anti-Macromedia, don't know much about the rest of the Studio products but Dreamweaver MX is great in actual use. I just want the web to remain based upon HTML as an open standard.
One of my kids brought home a learn-to-read book showing a pictorial story of a family trip to McDonalds and what a great time they all had. Seriously! This wasn't some advertising flyer that McDonalds somehow sponsored the school to hand out, it was a regular National Curriculum schoolbook. How the hell did they do that.
I did learn something new however - my back garden is an extremely scary place at 0330 (memo to self, next time don't sit up playing AVP2 all night while waiting for meteor showers to start...)
I get plenty of spam claiming I signed up for it some way or other, of course I did no such thing. I even get those spams on nonexistent addresses at my domain! They know they are on safe ground though, I mean how do you PROVE you didn't fail to uncheck some box on some site at some time.
And she even claims to honor "remove" requests! Heh yes, like I reeelly believe that...
Exactly, this is what annoys me so much about downloading portable openssh tarballs. There are plenty of MD5s and PGPs but you can't actually trace the chain of trust back to any actual authoritative signing key.
Meta refresh is DEFINITELY evil because you cannot be sure that the browser will support it - if it doesn't, then the user just sees a blank page. And don't assume this just means old or PDA browsers, I always disable meta refresh deliberately to help avoid ever being unwantedly redirected into pr0n site pop-up window hell.
I wondered what kind of server it was so I visited Netcraft to find out.
"We have no uptime data for 195.195.81.5 at present, and cannot plot a graph.
The host 195.195.81.5 has been added to the list of sites that we may monitor. We will start monitoring 195.195.81.5 in the next daily monitoring cycle. "
Pretty soon there ain't gonna be anything to monitor:)
I like rsync and it works great over ssh. But there seems to be no way to run rsync as a cron job because it will hang asking for the ssh password. Keys and ssh-agent seems like the solution - until you try it and find that don't work with cron:(

And this really works for the evil heartless bastards, look how they've screwed the price of open source apps right down to ZERO!

Meant for firewall status display but could use it for anything really...

I think this was a typo and he really meant "writers"...

Bracknell clouded out too.

"All e-mail should be signed in order to be distinguishable from spam" sounds pretty reasonable.
But if you put the same proposition another way "Anonymous mail is hereby banned and will be black-holed" it doesn't sound so great!

Yes, letting the drive speak for itself is a great idea. And if you're wondering what they say... it's this!
IBM have a great version, complete with animated chain gang penguins ... unfortunately seems to be broken right now
Should be here

Send the browser a 302 header instead.

The exact same obsession did bad things for Novell...

Of course it's bad! I'm not American and I don't live in the US, do you really think I want to receive junk mail from your politicians?
So what does the acronym SAP stand for? I looked firly carefully around their site but couldn't find an explanation.
