if you sniff their versions properly you can redirect them to a page that has links to upgrade their browsers. Its not too difficult really. keep it simple and youll be allright.
"Now just convince the gazillions of bad webdesigners out there to actually use the standard"
Its not the web page authors, its the browser manufacturers. they are the ones that dont listen to the rules.
netscape invented javascript, microsoft makes jscript
sun makes java, microsoft makes j++
all similar but differnet.
look at the browsers DOM. that is the largest issue. web designers have many platforms to code for.
pc, with ie
mac, with ie
pc, with javascript disabled
mac, with javascript disabled
linux, with javascript disabled
pc, with netscape
mac, with netscape
pc, with opera
pc, with mozilla
mac, with mozilla
linux, with mozilla
linux, with konqueror
linux, with galeon
linux, with links
searchbots that cant render javascript
this is not a complete list, there are too many different situations that a amateur web designer doesnt know about. if they are using a WYSIWYG editor like front page the site is only going to look right on a pc running ie. it will look like ass on a mac running netscape. hows an amatuer to know that. they dont own 10 test machines like professional web shops do. give em a break!! and a point for effort.
An open source sign on would have to store passwords and usernames in a database. Where would this data be stored, who would maintain it and whos going to pay for the upkeep.
Single Sign in is really just away to capture all the data a site needs in order to sort and display ads that might interest the user.
Sometimes its really cool to have personalized web experiences but where do we draw the line.
When passport came out I remember saying, "Ill never use that" But as larger sites incorporated it in I found it to be useful. I think that SUN will have the answer with their new N1 plans.
its simply really, after 2 months of the press reporting these chalk symbols of possible suicide bomb attack spots, these odd symbols that represent circles, semi-circles and letters used in warchalking give computer-users the information they need to tweak their wireless network setting to access other people's connections.
The idea of the chalk marks comes from "hobo signs", an old tradition among travellers and the homeless in America. They would scrawl a mark on a wall to show other hobos where they might find food or shelter. more...
What if these symbols represented steganistic versions of network passwords... then that would be unauthorized access... if the door is open, well then friend, come on in!
I do not agree, I think that this is dirt in the eye of Microsofts long term goals. When Sun donates 220 Million copies of Star Office to the children, they are going to learn what they are given. Schools, (usually in a tight budget) may use the free tools. If this occurs, in 10 years, no one will no how to program the Microsoft OS that a mere 400 developers have access to (source). I dont know how to program a TRS-80. Its more like 20 year old though. I see Suns stock going up, due to sales increase, because people generally purchase what they know how to use. The price is fair, the development options are endless, and computing can get back to what it was supposed to be, before the huge Microsoft distraction. The bottom line is cost versus productivity versus reliability.
I tend to leave my kit places, so I am always buying pieces. It depends on what your doing. Mostly you will need different size phillips head screwdrivers. The kit I currently carry can be seen here. You will want to get a small flashlight as well. If your going to be running cable through walls and such, make sure you have a vaccuum to clean up the carpet. Also its nice to carry a small compartment container to seperate small pieces. You may need a pen and paper to write notes on, especially if you dont have the motherboards manuel available. Make sure the screwdrivers are not magnetized. You may look smart wearing a wrist static guard, but ive never worn one.//shrug. good luck pal
but they could get fired for relying on Microsoft.
br
I would fire an employee that used an unsecure microsoft product when another choice was available. hey slacker, I hope you never work for me.
I have always dreaded exchange,
mainly because when a end user shows me that they cant connect,
the outlook interface is misleading and confusing.
I set businesses up on a linux server running qpopper to handle the mail.
It acts as a POP server, it can be connected to via IMAP email clients and is very reliable.
Microsoft products are not the anwser to all the solutions.
Keep in mind Microsoft products are created for the lowest common denominator of computer user.
Give the staff a Microsoft desktop enviroment, but let all the things running in the background be on Linux.
You will be glad you did, and maybe you can show your boss how you save the company money.
Think about a women for a second, they are not at all what you just thought. I have learned this through time. If you do not have a natural involentary urge to buy her a diamond ring, then my friend, She will feel your resistance. She WILL feel uncomfortable with you. she WILL think about you twice. By then it might be too late. Your actions will then be very important because at this time, you are now being compared with every guy shes met in the past 3 years.
She has been told about diamonds since she started talking to other femmes.
Its love, man. You have to do this deed. The reason diamonds are invaluable is because if the love fails over the ring. An example would be, if she said NO when you showed it to her. The ring could be cursed, or have a bad omen. Traditionally, no one is going to want to buy that. If the ring did have value, then it would be obnoxios. The rich men would keep upgrading their ladies rings, the young man would have 1 in his pocket, it would ruin the 'diamond; effect. kinda like an inflation.
It could also be that through your research on the web studing diamonds, that you have managed to find and save all the links to the negative aspects of getting married with all the energy focused on diamonds. This could be trouble. If you never came to slashdot, you might have actually ruined your chances of getting married.
this is proof that we really dont need these 2Ghz machines. Maybe to run (Disneyland) type interfaces. But hey, the kids need something to interface with while they are learning to read and do math.
Thank goodness for Linux.
"This makes it possible to interact with a Windows desktop on a Unix workstation, with a Macintosh desktop on a Linux PC, and so on. VNC servers and viewers exist for all major personal and server operating systems."
I see good things in the near future... Wont it be the bomb to login to a M$ windows machine usng a VNC viewer to fix a die hard M$ fans problem. ; )
I cant wait to read the stories of how the designers used 20,000 linux servers to render the magical world. I hope they do a good job on it. I remember reading those books in 5th grade. Its about time they got more mainstream attention. The imagination that develops when children read this type of story is like no other. kudos! So whos gonna make the follow-up video game anyways...
is it called a 'Ham Radio Technician License '?
what is it called, and why is a license required?
the link you posted was helpful. i am looking at a IC-910H 'IC-910H - All Mode VHF/UHF/1.2 GHz Satellite Radio'
any thoughts or advise, please post, thanks
thanks
what kind of equipment would i need to send messages to it. this sounds really neat. can someone help me out by posting a list of equipment and maybe a title of a good reference book to guide.
thanks
I dont see any big deal with this, they are simply soliciting valid customers. Other registrars do it. So why dont they do it. I remember having a conversation with my versign rep candidly talking about why they should do it because their competition was doing it to them.
the government should butt out, they are getting a little too nosey and catering to the whiners not the do`ers
Seriously, how many people need to be on staff to operate a web business like that?
A little software could manage thier whole outfit. They got rich, lost thier M$ account, and are now closing because thier get-rich-quick scheme is over. I could run that operation by myself in the evening:p
remember that NBA star that tried to patent the finger wiggle he did after he scored?
ever notice how many web sites look exactly like Amazon.com?
stand proud brother, you are an open source hero, you will never have to deal with this
I always wanted to go to MIT, because MY professors can never answer my CS questions.
They have actually said "hey bud, I am part time here, gimme a break."
Maybe todays professors arent ready for this new revolution.

This is a milestone. Slashdot is the first to have proof to answer the oldest question.

Here is a a link to his book. It also has a pdf look inside feature.
- Here is a link to Chesley Bonestells web site where you can find more art.
- His Bio,
- And some more art is here.
- But this one has a bunch of scans.
- Other space artist links.
