What a lot people dont seem to realise, is that the google toolbar is allowed (but apparently doesn't) to send back the URLs you visit, and toolbars (like alexa) and spyware do send back URLs you visit for indexing.
Furthermore, even if an engine like google didn't get the link from the toolbar, it could still get it from someones refererlogs.
If you don't want someone to read it - don't put it online.
got it here it France as well, and I have seen it in the Netherlands too, three years ago. Funny thing: it seemed much more normal three years ago in Holland than now in France.
But then, the French are PARANOID when it comes to using credit cards over the net, so I could imagine this device breads the same scepticism.
I have tried webalizer and webtrends, but without a doubt, nr. 1 is Urchin. It really is the cream of the crop, but it costs too. You check out a sample here.
If you get an account with Verio, you will get your stats in Urchin for free.
Once again Project Gutenberg shows its beautiful face. If you haven't heard about it before, then read a Wired feature here. Michael Hart started the project years ago and he wants to digitize anything which is out of copyright. The uses are infinite (think of the blind who can fead texts to tactile printers, for example), which this story also shows.
Anyway, Hart is a big supporter of sensible copyrights (read the feature) and if you can spare the time, help him by digitizing your favourite book.
The easiest thing by far (if you have the money and no itch) is to become a reseller at Verio. Their servers are set up to handle just this kind of thing, and they do it extremely well. I have been running a virtual server with them for years, with "virtual" root access on the same box as numerous others - no problems.
A friend of mine told me that the vserver software they use (currently under freebsd) is open, but I couldn't find any mention of that anywhere. Supposedly there is a similar vserver project going on under RedHat.
Or you might want to ask the maintainer of PVHost if he will implement what you need. The project is defined as:
"PVHost is an ISP/poweruser tool that lets admins easily create new virtual web servers using Apache, PHP, mod_auth_mysql, and custom ftpd. It supports PHP, FTP and FrontPage rights control, etc. Custom ftpd allows creation of ftp accounts without the need"
Time Europe article titled The Amazing Vikings. It was part of a feature Time did two years ago.
In addition to going to America 500 years before Columbus, they also did trades all the way down in Irak and formed the worlds oldest parliament.
And it seems they did mushrooms to go beserk. Cool guys.
How to modem accelerate as a webmaster

The best thing I ever did for my modem users, was to install mod_gzip, which compresses every page (be that HTML or any dynamically generated PHP page) apache sends out.
Result? Up to 92% compression! My pages are loading so much faster than before, AND I am saving on my bandwidth bill.
I used to subscribe to the The Perl Journal - one hell of a magazine for a Perl geek! Anyway, it seems the Perl Review is catering to the same market. I would love a PHP mag in the same format and style.
There is plenty of free legal advice out there by real lawyers. Granted, there is the hook, that they all hope to get you as their next client, but nevertheless I think your chances of getting a decent answer are greater there, than here:)

Several metro lines in Lyons, France are driverless too. Funny, they are the only lines never affected by strikes (of which there are at least 10 a year).
The name of the book is indeed "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" which is a pretty far cry from "Blade Runner". The story is:
When Ridley Scott made his 1982 film based loosely on the novel he eliminated the electric sheep (along with much else), and Dick's title no longer made sense (nor would it have been very effective on a marquee). The film company bought the rights to another novel by a different author and threw away everything but the title--Blade Runner--a term which occurs nowhere in the book. The film eventually gained great fame, and the novel was eventually retitled to match.
I can't really decide which title I like better. Considering the differences between the book and the film, I actually like the fact that Ridley Scott (or whoever) chose a different title.
BTW, as fan of PKD it bothers me that I don't recognize the qoute in your sig. Where's it from?

Installation is a breeze, the mod is a beauty.

I hope somebody else can sort out the legalese for you. All I have to offer is a thank you for taking the time to write such an excellent letter.
Hopefuly there are a few you out there feeling bad you didn't do your part and submitted your comments... I know I do.
Thanks again and keep us posted.

I think the big problem with your theory is that you can't copy toothbrushes.
Give that 10 years and we will see when digital fabbers become affordable. Might as well keep these inevitable challenges in mind...
Here it is (in English).
Several metro lines in Lyons, France are driverless too. Funny, they are the only lines never affected by strikes (of which there are at least 10 a year).
I have been thinking that ever since I read the book too! And then I found out that they have already made an Opera (!!) based on Valis.
Even better, I would like to see the movie IN Valis, but AFAIK it doesn't exist.
Just to comment a bit on what you wrote.
