Did you just express surprise that another member of a 3/4 million-user site shares your birthday? Ever hear of the pigeonhole principal or the birthday paradox?
You should be asking for people who you only heard of since they were knighted. They were likely somewhat famous beforehand and more famous afterwards. I'd wager that applies to most knights.
This could be useful for parents who want to give their children access to the internet but who don't have time to supervise their surfing too closely (ie. they are in the house and aware of the child's presence in their room which is usually enough to ensure their physical well-being.) They could limit the child to.kids.us domains until they can sit down and supervise surfing directly which is about the only sure-fire way to keep them safe on the 'net at large
However there are sites that kids should have access to but which it may be irresponsible to let them have unrestricted access to. I'm thinking specifically of Wikipedia. As a wiki it can never guarantee that all content will be suitable, but as an encyclopedia it could be an invaluable source of learning for kids.
Therefore it's not enough that parents just restrict their kids to.kids.us at all times, but it could be useful to allow the kids more online time when the parents can't supervise too closely.
Would the fact the vulnerability in Firefox and Mozilla only affected the Windows 2000/XP versions, and not the ones on other platforms, suggest that it might have been a vulnerability in windows rather than Mozilla?
Yes. The flaw was that Mozilla handled the protocols it knew and passed all unknown protocols to the OS to handle. Windows was (is) all too happy to launch programs with the shell protocol.
I wonder can you think of any gay (or bisesual, transexual etc.) characters in TV or movies who you think were just the same as the straight characters except that they were gay? That is, any characters who would still have been interesting if they were straight, so that their sexuality wasn't their only 'hook'. I think I can discern the 'gay characters' from the 'characters that happen to be gay' but I'd appreciate the input of an insider.
He didn't say violence, he said 'hurt'. I would classify "loudly and frequently complain[ing] about how the black family across the street is ruining [...] property value" as hurt. That's not to say that I agree that it's okay unless someone's hurt. I don't think anyone is right to be racist (or "*ist") even if they never hurt anyone.
Wow, that's paranoid. What kind of transactions are you planning? Transfer of $28,000,000.00 to Farouk Bello, Executive Director of the Comercial Bank of Africa (Nigerian division)?
If you have a gmail account you could use this method. Gmail allows you unlimited addresses of the form username+something@gmail.com. If someone asks for an address give them username+sitename@gmail.com and create a filter in gmail to automatically junk the emails to that address. (my apologies to whoever owns username@gmail.com)
He did in the American version. There's no real canonical version in H2G2 though since the whole thing is different in radio, books, tv and now presumably movie versions.
Yes, this is part of Firefox now. If you try to close a window with multiple tabs open it will prompt you to confirm or cancel, with the option to prevent it displaying the same message again.
That was Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged, made immortal by an accident involving an irrational particle accelerator, a liquid lunch and two elastic stripes. Arthur Dent? Arthur Phillip Dent? You're a jerk... A complete asshole.
He was asked last December. He declined, and contiued to make changes. They finally said "hey, remember you wouldn't licence Qute the way we asked? Well thanks for all of your work but we need a default theme that's free so we've gone and made this new one."
This has the potential to be the 0.9 release but they want to see if there are any showstopping bugs left before they decide. If there are any major bugs (that can't be left until 1.0 or later) they'll fix them, makle 0.9RC2 and see if that's good enough. Eventually 0.9 will be/exactly/ the same as the final 0.9RC
XHTML is not a superset of HTML, it is an XML language designed to be understood by HTML user-agents. Unless your pages identify themselves as XHTML there's no reason to try to comply with the XHTML spec. It might be useful to get into the habit of using lowercase if you plan on moving from HTML (4, say) to XHTML in the future, or if you think people familiar with XHTML will be reading your source code but there are no technical reasons not to use UPPERCASE for HTML elements and attributes.
The XHTML standard says that XHTML elements and attributes must be in lowercase; it says nothing about how you should code your HTML. Unless he's claiming (via doctype) to be serving valid XHTML as oposed to any other HTML flavour he can use whatever case he wants.

So what we need is two buttons for every function, on opposite sides of the screen, which need to be clicked on simultaneously.
What, that wasn't the point of your post? I see.

A more useful boookmark would pop open the bugmenot search results for the page you're on. Something like:
b ug menot.com/view.php?url=" + document.location);})()
javascript:(function(){window.open("http://www.
This should also work in Internet Explorer and other browsers.
Don't you think that's why he'd fall out of his seat laughing? Seemed pretty clear to me. You just explained someone's joke to them.

Get rid of steps 1 and 2. Javascript ans software installation are on by default, are they not?
Firefox will have auto-update (optional, on by default) in version 1.0.
Yes. The flaw was that Mozilla handled the protocols it knew and passed all unknown protocols to the OS to handle. Windows was (is) all too happy to launch programs with the shell protocol.
Um, it's not exactly puberty. Do you mean it's psychological?
Oh, you can't be bothered to contribute but the people who do are obligated to fix it for you? I get it now.

If you open the run dialog and type shell:windows\notepad.exe it opens it. That means Run has this flaw too!

>> I can deploy an IE patch to 5000 systems in an hour. How will I do that with these alternative browsers?

Wow! You can patch IE with text messages?
(SMS == Short Message System, the system mobile phone text messages use.)
