When I first came across wikis I thought that they'd be prone to vandalism, but it seems to work well. Anybody know why this is? Does all the good info get backed up? Are there full-time people who patrol it for trolls?
Well, there isn't much incentive to deface a wiki. It's not like it's challenging, really - and the first person to see it will most probably fix it.
Another application of "many eyes make all bugs shallow":)
Or even more devious, the author knows that most email and web is being server by unix derivatives, so he's only admitting that - but to the masses, he just pointed the finger at the culprit, the poor messenger.
I think you misread me. I mean it's an old quote... But then again, there are 40 more hits for it on google now... You're going to want to update your page again. The quote is actually from an interview with NY Times, September 28 2003.
My brother doesn't use the location bar either. He start msie, google.com shows up, and he types his url or query right there. I saw him do it, that's how I found out. I explained the whole thing to him but hey, his method works:)
The grand-parent post was quoting section 3.3, so saying "To continue Quoting" is a little bit misleading.
The way I see it, 3.1 describes in a very general way what might be acceptable in a url. It sort makes sense that not all schemes will need/support all varieties. So 3.3 points our clearly what a url for the http/https scheme is.
Actually, I take this very seriously. Thank you for pointing it out. You see, I didn't pull that abbreviation from my ass, nor am I the only one using them. http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html for the canonical page on this topic.
If you think about it for more then a second, kb could mean a number of things. Some people actually mean kilobit. Some mean 1000 bytes. While others mean 1024 bytes. KiB makes it clear we're not dealing with the "normal" kilo, but with something else, something of a binary nature: a kibi. Sure, it sounds weird now, but it has the advantange of clearing up the matter one and for all.
Whenever somebody raises an eyebrow when I use KiB or MiB, it gives me an occasion to explain it. I'm certainly not about to stop - but thanks for your keen eye:)
Well, they've actually quantified some aspects of this. Another poster complained about skimming thru a whole paper, a pdf! Well, it was only 52 KiB, really not that long. Perhaps the mention of words like "log" are repulsive to some...
Also, they point out that strangely enough, people with a weight problem will also consider this has "secret" information.
Joshua Marker, according to his website, did much worst then only suggest it. He actually put up the actual perl script on his webpage! How the f*k did/. let this one pass?
But seriously, I already received 3 copies. I didn't know it was a virus, but a zip containing a upxed file? Yeah, quick, let's run it to see what it is!
Tip: always right-drag self-compressed files (.exe zip files) and decompress it with your usual tool.
Redundant? I was wondering why I got that moderation. I had forgotten about my other post. If somebody had been more careful (then I was:) he would have noticed my second post was more convenient. I guess marking the first post as redundant would be fairly odd, but wouldn't it make sense in a case like this?
I was sure this got posted to slashdot, but wasn't able to find a link to it. Anyway, here's Tim O'Reilly's "Wired News Wishes for 2004": http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/4117
At the end of the article, he quotes Rael Dornfest, author of Google Hacks and the mobilewhack, with that same exact plead.

Cool, I didn't know that "compare" feature. Here's the graph comparing slashdot and wikipedia over 1 year. See how much wikipedia traffic increased?

... cuz you've set your google preference to only search for english pages.

Google picked up about 700 pages with "that will just be a completely unintentional side effect"...
funny :)
amen!

try http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=834489 - it worked for me. Maybe it gets blocked when refered to from /. ?
I have to applaud your bank!

But it was a nice try ;)
just try http://goatse.cx/, trust me. It's been dead since the 16th at least.

All in all, I found the paper was a good read.

I wonder if it has anything with this January 16th document...

Here's a page from the wayback machine dating 1997 describing friendsters et al. The last reference on the wayback machine is in april 1999...

This is not a new library, you know... And it's got the attention of the gnome and kde developpers.
Actually, this screenshot shows it's much more then that. Also, here's one project, MozStreamer is another good example of the flexibility offered.
