  3. So where else is there to go? on eBay Fraud Vigilantes · · Score: 1

    I liked ebay when it was just people selling second hand items, businesses selling surplus etc. Ever since the ebay business model sprung to life ebay imho sucks.

    I was just saying this yesterday (not for the first time.) Are there any other sites out there that offer the same quality, quantity, and prices that eBay used to?
    As for high shipping charges, you can complain to eBay about excessive shipping charges . Especially when you have the postage on the envelope in front of you, you know they're ripping you off.

  16. Re:But MS is "fixing" other issues... on Another Serious MSIE Hole · · Score: 1

    I don't think this is the best solution either, but it certainly doesn't break the standards. From RFC 2396 (my emphasis):

    URL schemes that involve the direct use of an IP-based protocol to a specified server on the Internet use a common syntax for the server component of the URI's scheme-specific data:

    <userinfo>@<host>:<port>

    where <userinfo> may consist of a user name and, optionally, scheme-specific information about how to gain authorization to access the server. The parts "<userinfo>@" and ":<port>" may be omitted.

    server = [ [ userinfo "@" ] hostport ]

    The user information, if present, is followed by a commercial at-sign "@".

    userinfo = *( unreserved | escaped |
    (deleted to get around the lameness filter)

    Some URL schemes use the format "user:password" in the userinfo field. This practice is NOT RECOMMENDED , because the passing of authentication information in clear text (such as URI) has proven to be a security risk in almost every case where it has been used.


    Has anyone else noticed /. getting /.ed lately? I had about 40 503 errors before I could post this!

    Shaw has, I hear, begun offering service without having a cable TV package. But there is no way to get ADSL without an active Telus landline going into the house.
    I work for an ISP and we are eagerly awaiting the day that lines used by other CLECs like Sprint can be serviced by ADSL. This has been mandated by the CRTC, now we just have to wait for Telus to "modify their system" to allow it. (Read: "we're going to stall this as long as we can.")
    As for providing ADSL on lines without POTS, I wouldn't hold my breath.

  23. Re:Hmm on Blocking Pop-ups at the ISP Level? · · Score: 1

    I don't know how you came to the conclusion you were being monitored, but it seems unlikely to me. I work for an ISP with about 1000 customers (dialup and DSL) and the only way we could possibly monitor traffic would be to install a packet sniffer on our gateway machines and piece together things from there. I guess it would be different if we had an http proxy, but how many ISPs would go through the trouble of setting up a proxy server and why would they bother?
