The only site I could find for Open Tech is here: http://www.freewebs.com/iopentech/. It seems pretty sketchy - a legitimate business hosting on FreeWebs?
Also, the photos of the machines (XT) seem to be empty cases, with no drives or anything installed. It puts me off that I don't see any with the side panels off or anything which would reveal an actual computer inside.
FWIW I tried their.tk domain (http://www.iopentech.tk/) and I got a 502 Proxy Error.
I'm surprised the author didn't link to the actual services:
ReadNotify FAQ - doesn't seem to give too much actual info on how it works, but looks like it's a combination of images hosted on the ReadNotify server with tracked downloads, rewritten links to go through ReadNotify servers to add log entries, and some other things I couldn't guess immediately.
MessageTag seems to just be an image hosting service which tracks image downloads.
Both seem to be easily defeated; indeed, the ReadNotify FAQ mentions that the "invisible" tracking service (which I assume means that it just includes the tracking images in the message) may be unreliable.
Apple has always kept a relatively short release time
Further, it's easy to point to the 7.0-8.0 timeframe (> 6 years) as a counterexample, but there were at least three arguably major changes during that time: the release of System 7.1.x, System 7.5.x, and Mac OS 7.6.x. Among the improvements were (IIRC) the introduction of the Open Transport networking infrastructure, support for the PowerPC platform, and support for 32-bit addressing. Quite a bit for six years, methinks.
Speaking as a student at a high school in the Ysleta ISD in El Paso, TX, I believe I can offer evidence that there is at least one area in Texas where education is done right. Evolution is taught as scientific theory; creationism [ID?] is not mentioned at all. Most teachers simply state that evolutionism is the theory which they will present and students are free to have their own beliefs concerning the origin of life on Earth.
That sort of tolerant viewpoint seems prominent throughout El Paso; it's a shame that, judging from the comments, it is not present in most of the other parts of Texas.
I find that really hard to believe that any uniprocessor machine - especially a laptop - could beat a dual processor machine with 4 times the RAM... do you have any benchmarks or things to prove what you say? I mean, the Centrino is a relatively high-performance architecture, but c'mon - beating a dualproc machine?

This comes from a Gentoo installation with gentoo-dev-sources patches. Just trying to give supporting evidence for the parent's "benchmark".
Personally, I would think that it would be better to grep for XXX and FIXME, but I don't have a *BSD box to check.
Sorry, I don't usually respond to trolls, but if I recall correctly, it was IBM who could not keep up with the volume which Apple demanded of new G5 chips. While I don't believe that Intel will necessarily get everything together by this time next year, you must admit that Intel has much larger production capabilities than IBM, concerning the chips which Apple will most likely use.
Plus, even if the Intel deal turns out to be a bust - and it might, you never know - there will always be a devout Apple following and they always have the iPod, anyway. Apple has a nice-sized nest egg - they can deal with problems if Intel fails to come through.

Actually, it seems like most of the files on TorrentSpy.net are now executables, especially videos. What's most annoying is that they are sometimes buried in RAR files, making them hard to detect before downloading.
El Paso, TX, USA has had no tornadoes in the past 50 years - at least. There are no large bodies of water around. There are no hurricanes. There are no floods. There are no snowstorms. There is no volcanic activity; no forests to burn. That's possibly the place with the least possible disasters in the United States.
I'm a Texan who's been to both Alaska (yes, I drove: 16k+ miles on the car!) and a href="China/Western Europe/Russia, and I can attest to the fact that Alaska makes Texas look like Rhode Island - seriously, it's about as tall as the continental USA is. However, in Russia, when I took the Trans-Siberian Railroad -- wow. I had no idea of the scale there. It made *all* of the USA look tiny by comparison. 6 nights + time zone crossings... wow.
OK, why is that? I am valedictorian of my high school class (2007!) and I use the computer at least ~4 hours per day. I manage to make extremely high grades and yes, my English skills are more than acceptable in modern society. I believe that this phenomenon is mainly due to the fact that I've been using computers since I was around four years old. The constant unmonitored computer usage which I am allowed to do has given me an aptitude for solving problems creatively and has further developed my academic skills. Computer usage should be unmonitored - it promotes creativity and exposes people to the real world - yes, that includes the porn and other things which a mature adult needs to learn to deal with. Also, there is no reason why a child should not be allowed to just "hop on the computer when they want." Why should they have to ask to broaden their horizons?
Most of the time, the (at least Spanish) imperfect tense is used to indicate things that used to happen, as opposed to the preterit tense, which is used to indicate things which happened. The difference is simple:
Yo comía (imperfect) would be I used to eat
Yo comí (preterit) would be I ate
If you're curious just how rampant this thing is, take a look at this picture. Yes, all of those are pirated CD's. And they are being sold in Metro stations for $3 or so.
It did get distributed, but Waterworld was one of the worst-planned (and therefore most expensive) movies ever released by Universal Pictures. Interestingly, the movie, filmed off the Hawaiian coast, had no bathrooms on the (floating) set - it was a 45-minute ferry ride to the nearest restroom. They had to delay filming due to weather, passing ships, and many other problems. Amazingly, though, it almost broke even.
Sorry, but "your own custom web browser" the way that particular article puts it is just a frontend, if you will, for the MSHTML rendering engine - just another means of accessing whatever version of Internet Explorer that you have on your Windows-based computer.

I'm thinking that's a server-side error, so it should actually be 563 No More Kitten if you're following RFC 2616 correctly.

After trying that site with Firefox and Konqueror, I can confirm that it displays a popunder window on the latest stable versions of both browsers.
It's not, sorry. When I was there about six months ago, I had absolutely no problem reading /. from Beijing.

That's a Babelfish translation if I've ever seen one... and I don't even speak Portuguese. do espaço de Brazil's?
