Easy way around that. Just have the IWF throw up a web page where you can type in a URL, and it'll tell you if that site is on the list. You don't have to give out the entire list to anyone. Everyone can check that their sites aren't being wrongfully blocked, without giving away the list of known CP sites.
I guarantee that someone *will* start brute forcing the site if this were to happen!
I'm not using *any* javascript for design, and I'll think you'll find the "if lte ie7" syntax is for CSS, not javascript. Try again!
Feel free to have a look - beta.frag.co.uk. Menu's are broken in IE8, but work in any other browser. The "if ie" syntax is just to fix flawed box model.
I absolutely agree, for some nice looking drop down menus, however - it's impossible to avoid the "if ie" tag. I wish I didn't have to use them (and wish I didn't have to sacrifice decent code for looks and design).
As I mentioned originally though, this is for a drop down menu using ul/li and the hover psudeocode. I can't find any way to do this that works nicer, and avoids using javascript. The "if ie" tag I'm using is non-essential and the site still works without it. However, to make it looks best it's hard to avoid these.
At least its better than some of the old css tricks with invalid code - the "if ie" syntax is W3C valid code.
As I mentioned above - why does the IE8 compatibility model (which renders much like IE7) completely ignore the IE7 specific markup?
Is it not meant to render like IE7? What kinda compatibility is it for? We web developers need IE-specific markup (e.g. "<!-- if ie") for fixing IE8, and probably again for IE8's compatibility mode.
True enough, but it might be a "painful lengthy process" not being able to get an job because you share your name with a pedophile either.
I'm not suggesting its the only option, that its free from problems - or even a good suggestion - but it might be worth considering if it's causing so much of a problem that you have to ask people on Slashdot. (Who mostly seem to be making jokes about the OP being a pedophile)
It's certainly going to be easier than some of the suggestions of 'overcoming the other google rankings', which seems to be one of the few other suggestions. The first this guy is going to know is that he's not been invited to interviews, and he's going to have no idea why.
Sure it might be 'difficult' and a 'painful lengthy process', but if it's costing his livelihood, maybe its worth considering - and surely worth me suggesting it? In the UK it only costs around £33 for Deed Poll, and paying out for changing bank accounts/driving licence, etc. Despite the family ties/price, maybe its worth it to him if it means he might have more chance getting a job?
It might even be possible to use his middle and last names instead of his first name, or even use a nickname, if it's suitable.
It's surely worth considering, despite the painful experience you had; if it's causing that much of a problem, isn't it?
I've never been asked for my previous name on a normal application form; only for a CRB check - this is in the UK though. It might be different for you, or the poster.
At least (if they don't ask) on first application they wouldn't discard his application form based on a Google of his name, an interview gives the chance to correct the company before they make this silly mistake.
If he's really this desperate that any company he applies for will discard his application, changing his name seems to be an option he hasn't considered - and no-one else has considered too. It might be the best choice based on the evidence, and certainly better than most of the suggestions here.
I have a HTC too - the O2 XDA Exec. The mini-usb is awesome, and charges (albeit) slowly on my PC - faster by the plug, probably due to the reasons you mentioned.
As a lot of people have negated to mention (you haven't) - the headphone/microphone ports are *as* important as the charging socket.
My HTC uses a slightly non-standard 3.5mm socket, with 4 pins. A normal set of headphones works great in it, as does 3 pin mono-mic/stereo headphones provided.
Why can't more companies keep to this or a very similar standard? 0.5 amp is plenty to charge with generally, and 3.5mm or even 2.5mm sockets don't use up that much space onboard, do they?
True enough, but how do us MTA hosters ensure that all mail will not be classed as spam? If SPF is basically ignored, and DomainKeys is hard or impossible, what's the solution?
Pretty much the same situation as trying to stop spam, I guess?
I use SPF; it's great. I really like it. Honestly. Great idea, nicely implemented.
However, Google Mail and MSN Hotmail both seem to either totally ignore it; or at least with a valid SPF still occasionally classify it as spam; with the only recourse seeming to be to use DomainKeys - not supported on Courier Mail Server atm.
It's really not a perfect system if most companies are going to totally ignore it.
Why is this "redundant"? I don't have this option in Google Labs yet either, yet its apparently available for US and UK customers, its not available for me.
My various print dictionaries do not have any words with the prefix syncro- ,
nor anything related starting with cron-. Think chronology, chronograph, etc.

You need to be careful where you direct your wooshes.
I'll woosh wherever I like, thank you.
Tell me, what's the difference between 'standby' and 'turned off'?
You tell me, that's the first time you've mentioned standby in this thread.
I was making a joke, suggested using a mains power switch to use 0 watts when switched off, hence the 'wooshing' sound you heard of a joke passing overhead. Pretty sure you're the one discussing semiconductors to enable low-power standby.
If you do want to learn more about standby, (I'm not going to spoon-feed you the different betwixt), then I'd suggest reading the wikipedia article.
I guess a self-sustaining relay might keep a computer on after it's started and draw nothing when it's off, but the computer then can not turn itself on.
*Whooooooooooosh!*
We're talking about MONITORS! Why would a power switch need a self-sustaining relay? You turn it on yourself, you turn it off yourself. A mains power switch uses 0 watts when off... I'd hope!

You don't *have* to change your name.
But if its that much of a problem, and its affecting your employment that you need to ask 300 geeks for help, maybe it's worth considering?
It's certainly a lot easier than what a lot of people are suggesting.

Well, clearly not. I'm in Europe and video states "This video is not available in your country.".. Either that or something dodgy is going on.
Just avoid the problem entirely - change your name. It's not expensive.
Hell, its the same anyone else would do if someone else started using your email address, isn't it?
It was a joke :o) - Mine (and most I've seen) charge via USB already. Guess they don't need as much power.
Hey man, I would like to open MS Office 2007 documents with any office suite of my choice with 100% fidelity. Got it?
Then use RTF! :o)
File formats are complicated problem, what with patents and copyright, etc.
Let us just concentrate on getting our mobile phones to all use the same power socket first, and then we can save the rest of the world.
Most of this stuff is moving to Bluetooth anyway.
Now the only problem is how to charge your Bluetooth headset up? :o)
