Last year, after much lobbying, the House passed the Tauzin-Dingell broadband deregulation bill, which would have freed the Bells from some of the line-sharing requirements. While the bill was halted in the Senate by Senator Ernest Hollings,
If it wasn't for the hated Fritz "Mandatory DRM" Hollings we would have no competition in DSL whatsoever.
DVD region coding is not a copyright control mechanism. It's a control mechanism, and it's to the benifit of the copyright holders, but it's just so they can make money, and does not have legal force.
Oh yeah, and a lot of "Old Money" republican families were so much trailer trash until they made their millions running alcohol during prohibition. Funny how you never hear about that...
here is what I get when I got to isonews.com. Maybe it's just an issue of the DNS servers not updating soon enough (assuming the DOJ just changed the address).
The IP address on that is 66.201.243.172, it apears to be a virtual host
these probes follow a 'path' through the solar system, slinging their way from jupeter/satern/etc. If we sent another probe in 5 years, it wouldn't be able to follow the same path, as the planets would be in diffrent places.
Asside from a few projects designed to beam high-energy signals at spesific stars, most of the radio waves we send out will be so weak that they would never be able to be detected against background nose just a few lightyears away.
is the reduction from $500 to $10. For $500, it's actually worth it to try to track the spammers down and sue his ass. But no one is going to go through that much trouble for just $10, unless their time is completely worthless.
Not to mention the whole "previous business relationship" is total BS. Companies swap email address lists and call each other 'partners'. It's a bunch of crap. I think they ought to rase the fee to $5000. Make it worth someone's time to sue.
Well, alltheweb digs up 41 sites other then slashdot or k5 that have links to me. Google apparently can't handle the link:... and -site:... commands together, but finds 87 pages not on slashdot or k5 that discuss me. Most of those pages also link. None of them were written by me.
Lets not forget that nothing else out there is called autopr0n, and almost every single page that does have the term also has a link to my site. Especially those which appear at the beginning of the search results.
Intresting experiment, try doing a search for "redhat 8 ISOs" on google and on Alltheweb, then get back to me on how great google is.
Yes, it makes perfects sense. How many people link to "autoPron"? If not many, then the algorithm ranks it low. As it should be. That means it's not a well known site.
102 sites. Anyway, it certainly makes more sense then returning this which is just a description of my site in German, with a link to it as the second result. Or this my kuro5hin account information (which also links to me) is the first result?
The fact is, 'autopr0n' is only ever used as A) my username or B) in reference to my website, almost always with a link. So why am I ranked near the bottom, after a few sites that decided to stick 'autopr0n' in the massive keyword lists they use to try to Spam search engines?
Of course, the downside is that if Google loses it's trademark then other companies can use the term for themselves. Alltheweb can say, for example, "come google with us".
On the other hand, unlike the situation with Nintendo, no one can take google's domain name. If google does become a term meaning "to search the internet with an effective relevancy calculator" then their domain name will always be synonymous.
Personally, though, I say screw google. They put autopr0n on the 11th page on a search for "autopr0n", which doesn't make any damn sense. And no one is ever going to say "Let me Alltheweb for it."

writing applications that have to go to the network for things like HTTP or (especially) LDAP are trivial in perl but seriously heavy lifting in C.
Java has built in HTTP and LDAP support. I'm sure there's lots of C/C++ libs you can go out and download.
You also get string parsing, regular expressions, and garbage collection built right in. Not to mention the incredibly powerful (from a code legibility standpoint) associative array or "hash" data structure.
Java got regexes in 1.4. The rest, it's always had. As has the C++ Standard template library.
Believe it or not, correctly written perl is orders of magnitude more legible than C or Java, because it works at a higher level of abstraction.
That's ridiculous.
You obviously don't have any experience using Java, or modern C++.
You're an idiot who doesn't know anything about modern web design. CSS is about formatting pages of information, now showing pretty pictures and graphics like flash. You can do some of what you can do with CSS with table layout (the only alternative) but it's stupid.
Netscape 4's CSS is fucked up, but people using Netscape 4 should stop. The browser should not be supported.
Insane compile times are largely a C++ issue. Since each class is a separate compiled file in java, you don't have to worry about recompiling the whole thing, unlike C++. And you don't need to link at all. I honestly don't understand how people can deal with that insane compile/link cycles in large C++ programs.

If we gave it out like candy, then we'd soon find a new super-resistant form of staph.
A lot of the problems we are having with various bacteria have been caused by over-use of anti-biotics in the first place.

A friends roomate was totaly adicted to that thing. Ultimately it was shot down by the record-companies, even though it was owned by one of them...
Well, in iowa at leat you don't get an extra ticket, but I've heard that the cops are much more linent with you if you don't have one.

REAL conservative believe that you should be able to do anything you want as long as it doesnt adversely affect others.
Those people are called libertarians.

You realize, right, that 'start' can open URLs with the system default browser automatically?
A good coder would have seperated the markup phase of the page generation code from the rest, so it could be easily upgraded, or simply changed.

Would be to say that 'scripting' is a subset of 'programming'.
If it ain't compiled into assembly language, it ain't real programming.
What do you code in, Intercal? C and C++ are compiled into machine code these days. Just like Java.
If you didn't lay out the tranistors yourself, you didn't do shit!
