This article's been on the front page for a couple of minutes, with no comments. Perhaps Web 2.0 is tired?
I don't think it's that. It's just.. rehashed drek from other websites with a.ibm.com domain name.
Really, there is NOTHING new in that tutorial that hasn't been done on other beginner websites. Nothing here is really Web 2.0, it's just hiding divs. That was in Javascript a long time ago. There's no backend business, no combining with other technologies. No data being "fetched", no integration with a db, no real css stylings. Just.. "visible" or "hidden".
Damn, what a choice. Either suffer through angry anus on the toilet from eating hot wings, or having Dr. Quack greasing up a finger or two. It's a lose-lose situation.
The list goes on...and don't get me started about the sex-fests that go on in the olympic "village"; ever wonder why the media isn't allowed in? It's for "privacy" all right...
Well, sure. All athletes who do a lot of aerobic activity are more likely to have higher sexual energy. Swimmers and rowers are among the top. Plus, they are practicing (and therefore unavailable for a date/relationship) up 16 hours of the day, why can't they have their fun?
In fact, the hallmark of good science is how well is holds up over time and continued testing.
I'm glad someone found some public use for something that in this day in age would be under copyright. I hope some lawyer or wordsmith can craftily use this story to the public's advantage and make a successful argument against patents and copyrights.
My favorite way of helping people realize the difference between irony and coincidence is as follows:
"Irony deals with opposites. Coincidence deals with the same. If a rescue helicopter happened to kill the person they were trying save, that might be a form of irony. The fact you are an idiot, and unable to differenciate between irony and coincidence, my friend, is just a coincidence."
Any advice for frustrated users, especially non-technical users?
Call me insensitive, but I'd say "thanks for stopping by"!
Millions of people give up on the internet, means millions of people without a need for computer, means millions of unsold Microsoft Windows PCs.
I am by no means a fanboi for either side, however, these are the people that are the problem. The unpatched masses which propogate the viruses that make me work overtime without pay making sure Norton upgraded everyone in the organization at 2am when an outbreak occurs. These are the millions of people that are zombies on the internet sending out spam which clogs up my mail server (currently my organization receives mail at a 93% spam rate) on weekends getting me paged while I'm out.
Why don't they just fix the damn crappy software, instead of putting buckets under the leaks??
The same reason why doctors don't cure any diseases anymore. The money is in prevention not the cure. Naturally its all about making the annoyed John and Jane feel better that Microsoft FIXED the problem (regardless if they started it). Can't know how good you feel if you've never felt bad...

Fuck that. Legitimacy is determined by whether it's ethical and moral, not whether it's legal!

How does one go about stopping it? Active Directory permissions? Proxy blocking?

Don't forget the often neglected 8th OSI Layer. The Carbon Layer, where 90% of the errors occur.
Considering the previous article that good reviews do not equal good sales, are we still blaming piracy? Or are we at least considering it might have a possibility to do with something like churning out the same game about 7 or 8 times under a different name?
