seriously, this isn't news for nerds or stuff that matters. If slashdot wants to increase pageviews, posting digg stories a day later isn't the answer.
I did some freelance work a few years back for a client. They were converting some custom inhouse applications from a 64 processor Cray Superserver 6400 to a cluster-based approach. I can't comment on what they were doing, but they needed all the ram and cycles they could get ahold of.
Anyhow, they started out on a 4-way machine and had scaled up to the 64-way without many code changes. If it had been cost effective, they would have kept on scaling upwards.
That will be the day. I've submitted patches to the mozilla team and had them rejected (without reason) or entirely ignored. FF/Mozilla is a large, complicated , monolithic application. It takes some serious time to understand how it works, the implications of a code change. (Plus it takes a while to rebuild).
Fact is, the Mozilla Foundation is making mad cash from google searches and ads. They have plenty of full time coders and support staff. If "open source" is nearly as successful as/. likes to group-think, those pro mozilla coders would be out of a job.
I agree. Digg is not entirely unique, either. kuro5hin/scoop allow anyone to rate a comment (though they show the average rating, and ratings aren't as meaningful as digg or/.).
I've heard that a new rating system is in the pipelines. Good. A Javascript/AJAX implementation shouldn't suffer from "scalability" problems that the/. programmers are always complaining about.
How about Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid? $61,000 (according to Reid himself) that came from Indian tribes and others that Abramoff was lobbying for. Indian tribe donations to Reid *increased* after they hired Abramoff. Put that in your peace pipe and smoke it.
Well, this is from Microsoft Research, which is reminiscent of what Bell Labs used to be like. Anyhow, it helps google, but it also throws egg on their face... like when 3rd parties release IE bug fixes before MS does.
Actually, it will be "why writely.com is better than LaTex." Written by a google employee. Also look forward to hard hitting articles on google desktop vs Start->Search, google maps vs an atlas, and blogger vs that kook on public access tv.
Please write to Sony and DEMAND that the next model of AIBO be fully able to transform cute teenage girls into cute teenage statues!!!
Let's imagine a sexy 17-year-old girl. Let's call her Sarah. Thanks to the new AIBO, we can have all KINDS of fun now.
It's Christmas morning.
Sarah is wearing this really sexy little pink silk dress.
She opens up a gift.... it's an AIBO!!
"Hooray!!" She's so happy. She plays with her new pet.
And then I, hiding outside, push the button on the special petrification remote control. Sarah looks down at the dog, smiling, and before she knows what happened, the dog zaps her with the on-board petrification ray and she hardens into a pretty little marble statue.
Then I go inside and feel her up a little bit, and take her and the dog back to my place, where they will be my two best friends.
Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda is a 29-year old white male with a stocky build and a goatee. He responded to my ad to be interviewed for this article wearing only leather pants, leather boots and a leather vest. I could see that both of his nipples were pierced with large-gauge silver rings.
Questioner: I hope you won't be offended if I ask you to prove to me that you're a nullo. Just so that my readers will know that this isn't a fake.
CmdrTaco: Sure, no problem. (stands and unbuckles pants and drops them to his ankles, revealing a smooth, shaven crotch with only a thin scar to show where his genitals once were).
Q: Thank you. That's a remarkable sight.
(laughs and pulls pants back up). Most people think so.
Q: What made you decide to become a nullo?
(pauses). Well, it really wasn't entirely my decision.
Q: Excuse me?
The idea wasn't mine. It was my lover's idea.
Q: Please explain what you mean.
Okay, it's a long story. You have to understand my relationship with Hemos before you'll know what happened.
Q: We have plenty of time. Please go on.
Both of us were into the leather lifestyle when we met through a personal ad. Hemos's ad was very specific: he was looking for someone to completely dominate and modify to his pleasure. In other word, a slave.
The ad intrigued me. I had been in a number of B&D scenes and also some S&M, but I found them unsatisfying because they were all temporary. After the fun was over, everybody went on with life as usual.
I was looking for a complete life change. I wanted to meet someone who would be part of my life forever. Someone who would control me and change me at his whim.
Q: In other words, you're a true masochist.
Oh yes, no doubt about that. I've always been totally passive in my sexual relationships.
Anyway, we met and there was instant chemistry. Hemos is about my age and is a complete loser. Our personalities meshed totally. He's very dominant.
I went back to his place after drinks and had the best sex of my life. That's when I knew I was going to be with Hemos for a long, long time.
Q: What sort of things did you two do?
It was very heavy right away. He restrained me and whipped me for quite awhile. He put clamps on my nipples and a ball gag in my mouth. And he hung a ball bag on my sack with some very heavy weights. That bag really bounced around when Hemos fucked me from behind.
Q: Ouch.
(laughs) Yeah, no kidding. At first I didn't think I could take the pain, but Hemos worked me through it and after awhile I was flying. I was sorry when it was over.
Hemos enjoyed it as much as I did. Afterwards he talked about what kind of a commitment I'd have to make if I wanted to stay with him.
Q: What did he say exactly?
Well, besides agreeing to be his slave in every way, I'd have to be ready to be modified. To have my body modified.
Q: Did he explain what he meant by that?
Not specifically, but I got the general idea. I guessed that something like castration might be part of it.
Q: How did that make you feel?
(laughs) I think it would make any guy a little hesitant.
Q: But it didn't stop you from agreeing to Hemos's terms?
No it didn't. I was totally hooked on this man. I knew that I was willing to pay any price to be with him.
Anyway, a few days later I moved in with Hemos. He gave me the rules right away: I'd have to be naked at all times while we were indoors, except for a leather dog collar that I could never take off. I had to keep my balls shaved. And I had to wear a butt plug except when I needed to take a shit or when we were having sex.
I had to sleep on the floor next to his bed. I ate all my food on the floor, too.
The next day he took me to a piercing parlor where he had my nipples done, and a Prince Albert put into the head of my cock.
Q: Heavy stuff.
Yeah, and it got heavier. He used me as a toilet, pissing in my mouth. I had to lick his asshole clean after he took a shit, too. It was all part of a process to break down any sense of individuality I had. After awhile, I wouldn't hesitate to do anything he asked.
Q: Did the sex get rougher?

Nice theory, but there is no "billionaire tax". He pays income tax, capital gains tax, sales tax, property tax, etc. His billions are paper -- stock -- and only taxable when he sells.
You're mostly correct. However, there are also corporate blogs... like the "Ted" guy Amazon's HR department invented. Or MSDN, where MS's programmers blogs about stuff they're doing, new features, fixed bugs. Or politicians. After Howard Dean flamed out, George Bush and John Kerry had full time staffers writing their "blogs".
As a diary, it's nothing new (though you no longer need to sneak into your sister's room to find out that she got drunk and fucked five guys last night).
As a corporate communication mechanism, it is something new.
An effective email security solution must address all aspects of controlling access to electronically stored company financial information. This includes access during transport as well as access to static information resident at the company or on a remote site or machine. Given the wide functionality of email, as well as the broad spectrum of threats that face email systems, ensuring appropriate information access control for all of these points requires:
* A capable policy enforcement mechanism to set rules in accordance with each company's systems of internal controls;
* Encryption capabilities to ensure privacy and confidentiality through secure and authenticated transport and delivery of email messages;
* Secure remote access to enable remote access for authorized users while preventing access from unauthorized users;
* Anti-spam and anti-phishing technology to prevent malicious code from entering a machine and to prevent private information from being provided to unauthorized parties

encyption isn't strictly required, but having email hosted outside of your intranet (and control) introduces lots of room for bad shit to happen.
At a previous job, they developed a web-based app using IE and a lot of Active X. It probably could have been done in a browser-neutral way with Ajax and java applets, though it would have been a lot more work. The IE solution was an update to a VB-based program, which was a complete mess... dll hell, difficult to support, difficult to maintain. The IE solution was a vast improvement.
Of course, this was started before Firefox/mozilla were viable alternatives, before Ajax was a buzzword.

Darwin is open source. Why didn't you fix the semaphore support, rather than just bitch about it?
nobody uses it because it's slow, buggy, and has no mindshare.
There's like 20 greasemonkey scripts that do that too. Why would anyone install a closed-source extension instead?
Fact is, the Mozilla Foundation is making mad cash from google searches and ads. They have plenty of full time coders and support staff. If "open source" is nearly as successful as /. likes to group-think, those pro mozilla coders would be out of a job.
Since then, I haven't seen a tag-gone thing. Of course, I haven't had mod points since I was bitch slapped years ago. Maybe it's related.
I'm not using slashdotter or greasemonkey; tags are enabled in my preferences.
And I know of many script kiddies that wish more people used php, simply because it's faster and easier to rootkit.
I've heard that a new rating system is in the pipelines. Good. A Javascript/AJAX implementation shouldn't suffer from "scalability" problems that the /. programmers are always complaining about.
