I looked through the prefs in the browser (I installed it a little while ago) and I can't find one to turn on the IE rendering engine. It's not in the view menu either. I stopped looking there, so maybe it would have been in the third place I looked.
I'm guessing that like most of the Mozilla browsers, you might be able to adjust it using about:config
However, I haven't downloaded this and am only speculating.

Arch In Depth

· Score: 1
But one of the points of Arch is making *very* easy to compile your own packages (thus, the "gentoo without gentoo" thingie). As I already told, it will be a *very* great hit if Arch manages to seemlessly integrate binaries from the public repos with packages locally compiled.
The rationale of this is that usually from the whole bunch of packages you usually have installed (in the numbers of hundreds, even thousands) it only makes real sense to recompile a short number of them (because you want them with special flags, you need them patched or whatever) so you could have most of the benefit from Gentoo (having locally compiled well integrated packages when needed) without all the hassle about compiling the other 95% of the packages you really doesn't care about.
Couldn't you do the same thing today with Debian by using a source package for a particular application and using pre-compiled.debs for everything else? And, this would be available to all the platforms that Debian is available on.
Seems to me that this is a distro in search of a problem.
While Linux, Windows, etc. have had 2Gb filesystems for a long time, it is nice that HURD supports larger files now.
I'll probably never use it, but I respect the HURD crew for continuing to stay committed to their project, despite HURD being so far behind other kernels.
Not that anybody actually reads the FAQ, but wouldn't information on using Coral be something good to put in the FAQ, under the section on submitting stories?
Then, if (and this is a BIG if) the editors were to view the page (using the Coral link) before posting the story to the front page, the Coral cache would have had a chance to get to the page before the/. effect took place.
And, while I'm offtopic to the main discussion; how about a Slashdot.org story, maybe once a month, where discussions about Slashdot could take place. This would let people discuss how Slashdot works in a particular forum, instead of having to venture offtopic.
Often times, it's mentioned on/., K5, Fark, etc. that EULAs aren't enforceable as a contract. Would this be a good case for someone to take Gator to court over, since Gator seems to want to restrict a person's ability to use thier computer? Would a judgement against Gator cause other companies to be less restrictive in their EULA terms? Or, would other companies just point and laugh (figuratively) at Gator for getting nailed?
Of course, I'm joking. It does seem that everyone gets irritated at potential noise levels. Are you really watching Kill Bill with the volume at "1" and complaining that you can't hear the dialogue over the fan noise? Also, what's wrong with a glass door in front of the PC?
One of the principles that has come about from continuous improvement, kanban, Toyota manufacturing is the idea of poke-a-yoke, or poka-yoke engineering.
The idea is, you design something so that it can only be used one way, so that errors in installation are eliminated. For example, if this switch/sensor/whatever needed to be installed from one side, you put a bump/notch on the opposite side that would prevent the part from being installed wrong.
For another example of this, if you have an N64 gaming system, take apart one of the controllers and look at the button design. Every button has slots that it fits in, so that you can only install a button in one location. There's no worrying about "Did I swap the A and B buttons?" because it's not possible.
Looking at your quote, I found a trilogy of stories, the first of which being called "Moon Shadow" that discusses al-Queda cells being comprised of "ten dedicated men"
With the kind of random chaos that they could bring, it would be very, very easy for someone with violent or other criminal intentions to get away with something. Imagine flash mobbing the President, it would be very easy for someone to get around the
SS agents and shoot the President because there would be so many people "spontaneously" crowding around Bush.

I only ask because, here in the USA, it's getting harder to distinguish between our system and that of Nazi Germany.
it's the key to the encryption that they have to make sure isn't tampered with or eavesdropped on. say the key is 100 bits long. after the transmission of the key, the sender and reciever compare, say, 50 of these bits publicly. if the receiver's bits are different than the sender's they know someone has tampered with it (since any measurement by an outsider will alter the state) and they throw that key away. if they are exactly the same, they know no one listened in and they can use the other 50 bits as the actual key.
they send the encrypted data only after they are sure no one else has the key.
This raises a question for me; if I (a theoretical man-in-the-middle bad guy) know of a quantum-encrypted channel that is being used, for example, by banks, what prevents me from tapping the wire, disrupting the quantum state, and forcing another attempt at transmission? Couldn't a man-in-the-middle become a denial-of-service between two parties by never allowing them to secure a line in the first place?
As Kevin Mitnick pointed out in his book The Art of Deception, anyone with a PBX system can program their outgoing Caller-ID information to show anything they want.
As far as star38.com goes, I wonder what purpose they hope to serve by doing this. After all, it's a free service, and as we all know, nothing in this world is free. Could it be that star38.com will sit in the middle and record these conversations, either to sell prank calls a la The Jerky Boys? Or, maybe they'll gleam little bits of information about people and sell that marketing information to companies?

Actually, Asterisk would suit the purpose just fine, once you got over the install hurdle.
