I used Mozilla Firebird 0.7 for my testing. The popups appeared. Perhaps you have something else configured that takes Firebird away from it's default behaviour?
I stopped putting such things in my hosts file. When I tried to load many websites (Example, TVtome), they would take several MINUTES to load while Mozilla waited for the advertisements to time out. More trouble than it's worth I say! I'll take the annoyance of the ads and get rid of the triple-digit load times:p
Popup advertisers have found a way around popup blockers, including Mozilla's built in one. The only way to avoid them is to disable javascript entirely.
PayPopup's popunder code employs just such a popup blocker blocker, if you will. It pops up popunders in Mozilla at will.
Never heard of LibraNet, but aren't Knoppix and Lindows fairly desktop oriented? While I don't have any trouble using linux as a desktop OS, it requires too much maintenance, so I'm keeping my linux use limited to my servers/routers for now.
Anyhow, Lindows is a bit TOO noob friendly, I don't have any trouble using the distribution, and apt-get is pretty nice, it's just that the Debian installation program was a nightmare... Now, if Debian added Fedora's Anaconda as an installation option...
Meh, tried Debian. Tried to install it three times. It's horrible installer created incomplete/corrupt installations each time. Installed RedHat. Worked the first time around.
To date, I have yet to successfully install Debian, yet I've installed many RedHat 7.3-9.0 installs without issue.
Which is why I mention low end (10$/mth) and mid end (80$/mth) options. I didn't give ANY colocation options, only shared servers and dedicated servers.
10$ a month, unlimited transfer, 100MB storage space, and it comes with:
One domain name hosted (purchased separately)
Unlimited email accounts
Unlimited email aliases or forwards
Unlimited FTP access
FrontPage 2000 extensions
Unlimited bandwidth usage
CGI, PHP and Server Side Includes
Which seems to be everything you want, though you only get 1 domain name, so it's not really a full DNS server. Additional ones hosted are 2$ per month though, and most registrars like GoDaddy host it for you, and even let you edit the records themselves.
I'd list some more virtual server providers, but I can't remember any off the top of my head:p A google search for "virtual server host" turns up a few places with similar plans.
You can buy pens that get around this problem. The Cross Ion is a good example; in the ink cartridge (non-pressurized), above the ink, there is what appears to be a clear gel that prevents the ink from moving. As the ink in the cartridge (The ballpoint is part of the cartridge) is used up, the gel travels down the barrel with the ink.
The pen works perfectly well upside down, I've tried. Probably doesn't cost as much as a pressurized pen either:p
DNS service is included now. I registered novasearch.net, and GoDaddy has given me full control over the DNS records. I changed it to point to my IP, and may be putting in some MX records later on, and a few subdomains.
This is included for free on parked domains. It doesn't cost anything over the default 8.95$ fee. Don't be fooled by the "parked" status, you have full control over the domain.
They break all sorts of applications that rely on proper DNS behaviour, and typosquat EVERY domain name, and they call it innovation?
Hell, there isn't even an entry in sitefinder for every domain, (Try searching for my site, novasearch.net, on sitefinder. No hits.), so it's not even good at the task they purport it to be for!
18 minutes in 3.5TB, that's 27185 megabit! Hell, you can easily do HD with MPEG4 in single digit, and this is only 16x more pixels than HD... So shouldn't we be seeing something like 80mbit? 100-150mbit max? 3.5TB should be storing ballpark 81 hours of UHDV!!!
I'm not concerned so much about voicemodem support, as I prefer to use regular audio input/output; my high quality headphones+microphone are much more comfortable than any telephone handset.
However, that lack of a windows port is a really killer. Perhaps they could be convinced to compile for Windows with the Cygwin DLLs. I hear that doesn't require much porting.
He's not referring to avoiding crimes. He's referring to how the legal drinking age is 21 in the US, but just north of the border, it's 18 (At least in Quebec).
I'm a subscriber to the theory that if you can fight and die for your country, then you should damn well be able to drink. Not that it matters, since I'm in Quebec where my theory is put into practice:p
Skype doesn't appear to have free VoIP->POTS (The ability to call regular phones from the VoIP product), so I fail to see how it's different from any of these other VoIP-only products. There's hundreds of them already...
You're forgetting that the FastTrack protocol was recently (Few months ago?) broken, and that there are opensourced programs that can connect to the FastTrack network (Kazaa's network).
I believe it's a mod of OpenFT, though maybe by now they've integrated the FastTrack compatible code into the main fork.
So, in other words, you now really can use opensourced programs instead of Kazaa to connect to the same network.
You're forgetting that this is Canada... The DMCA has no effect here. Assuming your hosting is in Canada, you can simply send a reply telling gamespot that you are not under the jurisdiction of the DMCA, and that you will not be complying with their request.
If your hosting is in the US... Well, then you're in a bit more of a bind. IANAL, but I'd suspect that while YOU are not liable, the American hosting company would be, and would be forced to remove the content from their servers.
Of course, surely you chose Canadian web hosting to keep your dollars in the country, no?:p
Nope, it just starts skipping (buffering, playing, buffering, playing). However, Shoutcast servers have hard max listener counts to prevent them from running out of bandwidth. Which is why nobody can connect to the stream right now, it's full.
This is a reply to everybody who said you can't laminate it:
Duh, think before you post. Thermal based laminators are not the only kind. There are lamination machines that simply have two clear pieces of plastic with sticky bottoms and seal them together with rollers, or you can buy do-it-yourself lamination material where you cut the size you need and place the item between two sheets.
The answer is, of course, replace your obsolete ball-mouse with an optical mouse. Opticals are so cheap now, anybody can afford them. I believe somebody up above said they could get them for 10$ US? I've never seen them that cheap, but I have seen them for 25$ canadian.
Back in the day when I had a ball-mouse, I used to just pop open the bottom compartment, remove the ball, and scrape the rollers with my fingernail while slowly rotating the roller. I'd do that for all 3 rollers. If the ball was dirty, I'd wash it with tap water and let it dry.
But seriously man! Get an optical! No excuses!
$1550 just to use it? No thanks.

QT 3.2 Released
·
· Score: 0, Troll
3.2 is out you say? Sure, if you want to spend $1550 to use it under Windows.
The newest version available for "free" use on Windows is 2.3. So much for QT being cross platform!
Trolltech has made QT useless for many people who need to be able to run their programs under linux and/or windows, and can't afford Trolltech's rediculous licences.
QT isn't free, far from it. It's far more expensive than the alternatives. If I'm not mistaken, a single QT licence even costs more than a copy of Visual Studio.NET!
That's what gave me the idea, but we're talking about compressing Google, which not only doesn't use mod_gzip, it doesn't use Apache entirely.
Sure, it would be smart of Google to enable gzip compression in their custom web server, but on the other hand, with that many hits the CPU hit would be enormous.

But it sounds pretty random to me. Yes, it's more coherant than pure random notes, but it has a long way to go.

My ISP charges 4$ canadian per month for a static IP... I get mine free, I'm grandfathered.

:p A google search for "virtual server host" turns up a few places with similar plans.
Seriously though, if you can't afford a dedicated server (80$ at RackShack or ServerMatrix), maybe a virtual server (10$/mth), like here:

10$ a month, unlimited transfer, 100MB storage space, and it comes with:

The point of this dialog is NOT to enhance security, or give the user a choice, it's to get around the patent. That's it's only purpose.
They break all sorts of applications that rely on proper DNS behaviour, and typosquat EVERY domain name, and they call it innovation?

They said the same thing about Trident's new cards. And Matrox's (Parhelia). Both turned out to be horrible.

US Robotics is claiming 100mbit speeds with their 802.11g products. Which is 5 times 802.11g's rated speed of 20mbit.
Anybody done any benchmarks with one of these networks? I doubt you'd ever get 100mbit, but I'd consider it a success if it pulled 40-50mbit.
The answer is, of course, replace your obsolete ball-mouse with an optical mouse. Opticals are so cheap now, anybody can afford them. I believe somebody up above said they could get them for 10$ US? I've never seen them that cheap, but I have seen them for 25$ canadian.
