2. I have used Google's domain hosting as well, and it's nice, but it's very minimalistic at this point. It is cool that you can change the Gmail logo to your company's logo though.
As for users signing in, yes, they do have to sign in via hotmail. It says so RIGHT IN THE ADMIN AREA. This guy couldn't find the big text on the left side that says "Users may access their email accounts by signing in to http://www.hotmail.com./"
Sorry, Builder, but all this shows is that incompetents shouldn't be left in charge of IT. I would say it demonstrates the exact opposite of what you say. Clearly the city manager is unqualified and ignorant. The open source project helped him -- for free -- even when he threatened litigation! Ultimately, CentOS solved the problem for him too, outdoing the ISP he presumably pays.
I would argue that this furthers the cause significantly, and as an aside, encourages towns to take IT seriously.
I want to email executables to people on occasion. It's easy. It works. Well, normally it works, unless you're using gmail.
Or Outlook. Or several other capable email programs. Essentially, your suggestion is that general security should be sacrificed because lazy people sometimes want to send executable files? That's weak, friend.
Since most people run Windows, and most people have file extensions hidden (a STUPID default), most people will think anna_kournikova.jpg.exe is an image, and open it.
Email programs SHOULD block exe files. If you are smart enough to send an exe that makes sense, you're smart enough to rename it. Period.
This is like saying that patching ActiveX is silly, anti-spyware is unneeded, and anti-virus software unnecessary, just assume your users will know better.
Wrong.
Gmail's is the intended behavior. Use FTP for EXEs, or even CDs.
Actually, Camino has a built-in "block web advertising" option, and there is an app out there called "Camiblock" which can autoblock ad sites. If you use Filterset-G, it's not that much different.
Camino uses Gecko. Safari uses Webkit, which is based on HTML. This is really not a question of browser as much as it is of the rendering engine behind it. Browsers like Flock and Shiira are based on Gecko and Webkit respectively, so you should expect similar results. Firefox, incidentally, is also based on Gecko.
For what it's worth, many people I know describe Opera as being significantly faster than Gecko, WebKit, and MSHTML (the rendering engine behind IE).
For one, it doesn't include XUL, so it doesn't support extensions. However, the Cocoa integration is much better, so it looks and feels like a real Mac application. It's gorgeous, about as pretty as Firefox for OS X with Firefoxy widgets. It's fast. And in my experience, it doesn't bleed RAM like Firefox does.
He didn't say it very eloquently, but the difference between 512 bytes and 512 kilobytes is pretty sigificant. 512KB is a half of a megabyte. Can you image if a hard drive sector was.5 megabyte?? You'd end up with tons of wasted space.
Eh... no. Anyone who knows anything about search engine optimization would tell you you're crazy. The fact is, if you're at all interested in Google's pagerank or in optimizing your position in any real search engine, then you know that the text anchored in your links matters BIG TIME to both you and the link to whom you are linking.
SEOs will tell you some simple tips: 1. Keep your titles concise 2. Put meaningful words in your hypertext anchors 3. Name your pages appropriately (x.com/about/about.htm is better than x.com/index.php?page=about or x.com/?node=47) 4. Do not repeat single tags like "title" for fear of being classified as spam 5. Do not repeat meta keywords over and over again 6. Do not overuse keywords in your page for fear of being classified as spam
The fact is, linking a noun is a BAD decision. Linking "CNN" to CNN or "article" to your article would be poor web formatting and a poor design decision.
Sadly, not only will Sony face no long term damage, but this will be a blockbuster year for them as they release PS3 and millions of quick-to-forget Slashdotters rush out to buy a PS3.
If consumers were smart, they'd go buy a Nintendo Revolution - or even an Xbox - and intentionally skip the next Playstation. Unfortunately, they won't, because their souls are fueled by acquisition and shiny-new-toy syndrome.
You remember right. That was the deal about 4-5 years ago or so. Gates called it a "bet the company" initiative, and they decided to rewrite from scratch.
Then, a few years later, pretty much nothing worked, so they tossed out all the 4000-era builds, took a clean copy of Windows 2003 SP1, and built on top of that.
But why? Urchin is to help a webmaster. Do you want to hurt the websites you visit? I can understanding blocking annoying features - I block tons of JS and flash and cookies, but why not run this script?
Sometimes the ad blocking crowd are a little overzealous.

Dude, I don't know what Immaculate Reception you're thinking of, but the real "Immaculate Reception" happened in 1972 when Terry Bradshaw threw the ball and Franco Harris scooped it up. Doug Flutie didn't start playing in the NFL until several years later (I want to say late 80's/early 90's, but I could be wrong).
So what's the problem? Create a meta "section" and don't post to the front page. Those who want to read the meta can visit the meta area. And Slash is already built for such an operation!
That's what we did over at OSNews and it's worked well. Those who are interested read it, and everyone else is unbothered.
Um... I don't have an agenda that requires me to start Microsoft down a peg in this game. Sony is a dispicable company in my eyes right now. Microsoft deserves more business, as they have spent this year doing as much right as they can have done. Sony deserves jail time.
Microsoft has done a lot of bad things in the past, but that doesn't mean I have some unending blind crusade against them. Sony is doing a lot of bad things NOW, and smart consumers SHOULD avoid the PS3.
For the record, I am typing this from OS X and I own a PS2. Please don't think I'm some crazy Microsoft fanboy.
Slashdot Mirror
I have beta tested both of these as well, and let me correct a few things here:
x and it works just fine.
1. This is BS. I am on a Mac, and my domain is administered while I'm in Camino. I'm logged in right now, the URL is https://domains.live.com/Manage/managedomains.asp
2. I have used Google's domain hosting as well, and it's nice, but it's very minimalistic at this point. It is cool that you can change the Gmail logo to your company's logo though.

WEAK. This review needs to be nixed. No digg.

The PHB in question is the city manager. According to him: "My door is always open and I answer all calls."
So... here's his info: City Manager Jerry A. Taylor, and his email address: citymgr@cityoftuttle.org.
Note that I am not "exposing" anything, all of this info comes directly from the publically available cityoftuttle.org website.
PS. I can't believe we fried centos.org but not cityoftuttle.org.
I don't think it lands on his skateboard ever. It just kind of goes "past it," the same way Bart goes right past the car Homer is driving.
It's just a continuity piece, it doesn't actually land ON his skateboard.

8. Better backups (OK, Apple doesn't include a backup utility unless you purchase dot-Mac)
Um, yes, they do

No. You misunderstand the term "universal."
An app is "universal" when it runs on OS X for PowerPC *and* OS X for Intel. It does not mean it runs on other OSes, and incidentally, they do not.
Yes, and now that it works, it's only a matter of time before someone turns FireFTP into a standalone program, which is pretty exciting!

Nintendo is a convicted monopolist due to its actions with the original NES in North America.
Microsoft is a convicted monopolist due to its actions with Windows.
Fair. Both have hurt the market. Sony has hurt ME (the figurative me - as I write from an iBook).
As an American consumer, of couse, my first priority is ME.
Sadly, not only will Sony face no long term damage, but this will be a blockbuster year for them as they release PS3 and millions of quick-to-forget Slashdotters rush out to buy a PS3.

That is Vista. It's built on Server 2003 SP1.
