I think it looks very good and can give a good insight if a site is safe.
The agreement:
How SiteAdvisor Works and How we Protect Your Privacy
As you use SiteAdvisor's software, it checks our master database in order to display our safety ratings about the sites you visit. We do this because our database of safety ratings is far too large and too frequently changing for us to send it to you in advance when you download our software.
We never store information about where specific users go online or about what they do online. We do keep master anonymous logs of which sites our users visit so we can prioritize those sites for retesting. These logs contain no information about which users visited which sites -- no personally identifying information, and not even users' IP addresses.

I'm a c/perl guy and don't know catalyst but wrote some sites in perl using html::template and I just read http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2005/06/02/catalyst.html ?page=2 for a short tutorial. I also just made my first rails website in 10 days, this includes a cms and also an elobarate scheduling app as well as some other stuff like user manager etc. This also includes the time to learn the language and get my head around concepts. The major problem with rails is documentation, there is just to much of it scattered around and should be organised more. But with the rails api website, the ruby docs and some tutorials you will get there.
The last 2 days was just finetuning what the customer wanted. From the tutorial I would say rails is easier to read. I think perl has more power over ruby, just as C has more power over Perl as you can go more low level with it. But ruby/rails is much easier to read and even less to type. I will still remain to use C and Perl for a lot of stuff. But when it comes to websites / web applications I will stick with rails. I can't see myself turning back. Maintaining and extending code is dead easy also the ajax integration is great.
But too big = evil! first rockefeller then at&t, ibm, microsoft, etc. So is google too big, yes but what does that mean? Apparently they are so big, that when they do something in a certain market, all the other players are instantly obliterated. No this does not always happen, although this is what people think and expect I guess, basicly everyone is waiting for google to become evil, which is wierd.
In the end competition is good as long as there will remain competition.
If you hack on perl on windows, I think optiperl is a much better ide.
I bought and that means something, I have never seen such advanced syntax highlighting as in that editor, you have to check out the screenshots.
I agree that launch titles for the XBox 360 are hardly impressive. However the way microsoft integrates online gaming (xbox live) is very well done, and personally i think is where gaming is going. Now they just need good games.
On the PS3 we can only speculate, but it save to assume that it performs in the same league as the 360. The only thing I have seen is that their launch titles are more innovative and/or look more attractive to me. But sony doesn't understand or breathe online gaming as MS does...
Also the PS2 was first to market compared to the xbox, and seem to be doing okay. Also if GTA was first released on the xbox or never released the PS2 would have lost for sure. So what makes a system sell? The number of games for it, the more games for it the more likely the chance that there is a gem between them.
Have that thing read the Koran from arabix to english and then vice versa, then by the number offended devided by all moslims gives you a nice error rate.
I always understood that ipv6 has the ability to send 1 packet to mupltiple persons at once. So for example if you use bittorrent, and there are 7 people connected then you only have to send out 1 packet to reach to 6 people in stead of 6 packets with ipv4.
I agree with you, and still I don't think the software/record company's are interested in these steps as all hurts them.
1) Change the way we feel about this.
Propaganda cost money, and the effect is not significant if we look at the past 10 years. 2) Lower the prices
Costs the company money, mainly because if this would happen we still have problems 1 and 3 3) Don't make it so easy to access the cropfields
DRM technology costs money, however this is relatively cheap compared to the initial costs and great number to which it can be applied. 4) Reduce the copyright period to something sane once again
I agree, but as you know now the companies cannot make a profit as long as they want to. 5) repair the damage done to the concept of "fair use"
Is related to point 1, it goes hand in hand how we feel about copyright infringement.
All in all Itunes is highly popular, mainly because of point 2 and 3.
IT's cheap and easily accessible. I think the general product doesn't care about 4 and 5.
Or even point 1 because with every commercial everybody is happy and rich...
So basicly we need an Isoftware shop. As seen as in Linspire but with cheaper prices.
Perhaps we need some model how much something is worth.
X grams gold = Y dollars
X grams rice = Y dollars
X hours work = Y dollars
Software and music doesn't scale that way. It would be great though! Just imagine
1 piece of software = 8000 hours = Y dollars
(Y dollars / number of estimated sales) + 50% profit= 50 dollars
The problem is the estimated number of sales. And apparantly is huge number of sales isn't of benefit to both sides.
I don't it's flawed, it's just that software/music isn't a fysical thing. And that fact only amplifies the feeling that you can't hurt the farmer.
So you need to do 3 things 1) Change the way we feel about this. 2) Lower the prices since we are not compelled to purchase anything at the current price. The price difference between free software/music and commercial software/music is just to big to explain the feature difference (if any). 3) Don't make it so easy to access the cropfields, it's just to easy to copy/download stuff.
Think about it, get a google card, they inspect your buying habits like email with gmail. Hit you with targeted advertisements and also provide you with cheaper alternatives (froogle)on goods you have bought.
Yes it's a diabolical though, but hey there not evil;)
It works out great, I use version 7.31 on my zaurus. I don't understand how it works, but somebody told me that it is a css hack. Anyway for example you have 4 modes, with or without pics and fit to screen (columnn mode) and normal rendering. Let's say you have this complex page with css2 and javascript, some magic happens and it's completely readable on 320x240 in column mode.
Slashdot Mirror
Why does imdb say:
Recommendations
If you like this title, we also recommend...
Titanic (1997)
If you restart firefox you see the following, you also see the agreement before downloading. I think we can assume they speak the truth, then it looks very decent. This is what you see for slashdot http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/slashdot.org?safe s k
And this for astalavista

I don't know about privacy, as it probably has to check each url with a database.
And I guess that DB isn't installed locally.
I just installed it, let's see what happens
Yeah and then they blame windows->microsoft that their computer is running like crap.

What extra features does this new guinea pig have?
Who gives a fuck
That is a feature ;)
Unless otherwise specified it's reasonable to assume that they are working.

The rest I don't know
I guess google is finally ready for the desktop.
I wonder how long it takes before advertisements are introduced...
ps can somebody write an ebay sniper for it...
It's a nice test but ifail to see how they can extrapolate this to be true for all searches.
Don't forget that also a lot of queries get handtuned at google/yahoo to give the proper resultset.
Also to keep in mind that size doesn't matter but relevancy does!
And they both cheat at that as well, they just give back the highley ranked pages for those words. Works ok for a lot of people but hardly relevant.
It certainly would be a waste of life, just so you can play garbage man in space!
What about fox news then?

Name 1 piece of software you paid for that came with spyware?
English is not the native language for many hackers!
What about RSI or a killer app?
I see nobody using a 3d desktop so why the 3d mouse?
I don't know about others but I never had the feeling with quake that it would be more efficient to play with a 3d mouse?
Nice gadget, but probably not practical in use.
