Dude, you were reading way too much into my comment. All I was saying is that there is no guarantee of freedom oF speech in the Australian consitution (hell, maybe there is, I'd feel like an idiot, then). Most people don't seem to understand that most countries do not guarantee freedom of speech. That's all I was saying. On that note, I wasn't even saying that the US delivered or that it was the reality!!! All I'm saying is that they clearly guarantee it. Please not only read the post, but think about it. Don't try to read into things and guess people's political beliefs. I think you'll find that mine are far from what you think, however I don't think that they are relevent to the discussion, so I won't share.
Yeah, I think it clearly is in the US Consitution. I never said that it was practiced, I just said it was in there. Please read the post (it wasn't that long) before you go on anonymously mocking it. Oh, and by the way, I'm a democrat.
You dumbass mods, save your points for modding down the nasty stuff, not people warning other people not to click on links with hairy old men giving each other blow jobs. Jesus Christ, fucking morons...
When I say better, I meant better than it was previously, not necessarily better than Google.

Altavista Renewed
·
· Score: 2, Informative
Has anybody actually tried Altavista yet? I have, and I can say it's better. I don't know how much better, but it does look like they've gotten rid of the paid ads that blend in with the searches. As for compatibility, great job! It looks perfect in Opera, and even that little thing they use with the blue bar works.
Woops...sorry for the constant spelling mistakes. I *really* think Slashdot should implement some kind of editing system. Say, you can edit it for five minutes after you posted, as long as nobody has replied, and you get a little link that says you edited and links to the original version.
Ugh... Slashdot requires you to wait 2 minutes between each successful posting of a comment to allow everyone a fair chance at posting a comment.

As hypocritical as this may seem (we don't like vast patents, but we don't mind when they apply to Microsoft), I think it's out only hope. I don't see this company as one that just wants to get out there and earn money, I see them as one who doesn't like Microsoft, but woudln't mind earning some money on the side. If somebody could get them to exclude Microsoft from using the technology outright until they followed some rules (standardization, etc.), we could really give Microsoft a run for there money. Sadly enough, it seems to perfect, and I predict the company will eventually bow and just accept a nice fat check.
Um...didn't anybody read the article? It has a UPS backup! Just give it a minute or two and it will backup all of the data on a physical hard drive. The UPS, however, can keep it alive for longer than that.

Ah ha, finally somebody has pointed out the obvious use! Servers! Most servers don't serve extremely large data contents (hence why you see smaller-than-average SCSI drives). People who run servers can afford the money for an extreme performance boost, and they leave them on 24/7, anyway.
Because there is no other option. 56k is actually just as, if not more expensive (service and extra phone line). In it's hey day, broadband was amazing.
What are you talking about, "not an essential life function"? It is, too! Do you use broadband? Well, even if you don't, I know many people that would be lost without it.
This may be obvious, but it's still pissing me off. Cable and DSL companies have just been taking and taking without letting up anything. They raise the prices, they kill our static IPs, they lower our uploads, they kill our web space, but they never give anything back! Never, "Oh, let's raise the cap," or, "oh, let's give them back their static IPs." Eventually broadband will just become so empty that it will be useless. Geeks will begin to see the use of shared T1 lines, and the rest will soon follow.
What about the referrer command? Sure, it only goes back one page, but if you have a banner ad on every page, it gets the job done. And doesn't PHP have some way of seeing what the previous pages were? I think it does, but I could be wrong...
But can't you do that in an infinite amount of ways? I can think of two other ways to do that: JavaScript and Apache logs! Using Javascript commands you can see what websites the viewer went to before that. Using Apache you can see what viewer visited what, and then piece it together. Or better yet, use the Javascript in conjunction with PHP/Perl and then every time a user goes to a site with a banner from company X, they get another list of the site's you've visited. Eventually, they'll be able to recreate your entire web experience, especially if it's a big company such Doubleclick. How come nobody has ever made a fuss about the JavaScript commands or Apache logs?
Not really on topic at all, but I was always wondering, what's the big deal with cookies!? All they can do is store information THAT YOU GIVE THEM (or that they arbitrarily assign to you)! In fact, you don't even need cookies to do that. You can just do it with Perl or PHP. Yeah, sure, there are some flaws with cookies in IE, but there are flaws with everything in IE! Hell, Slashdot uses them! The media has somehow given them a bad name. Most sites require cookies, and they work quite well, actually. Would you really want to enter your user name and password for every like you click? No, I don't think so. I'll never understand...
You could have a password to get to the data (you could make it thousands of characters long so that it would take way too long to crack), and then have a key to get to the password. Would that work, or would it be too easy to crack the thousand-character password?

Actually, surprisingly enough, it is not a self-referring acronym. It stands for Berkeley Software Distribution.

Um...in case you haven't notice, freedom os speech is in the United States Constitution, not the world constitution.

Now I'm wondering, how come T1s cost so damn much? 1.5MBit isn't that much. My cable connection can do something like 256KBit for around 50 USD.
Do T1 lines offer 1.5Mbit upload?
"Everyone needs their own t1 line..."
Coming from the same thread as somebody saying that I don't need broadband...
Because there is no other option. 56k is actually just as, if not more expensive (service and extra phone line). In it's hey day, broadband was amazing.

Yeah, real smart. Give the one person who has told this guy to shut up an offtopic. Jackass...
Jesus Christ, would you stop posting this everywhere!?

That's a blatent rip-off of a Simpsons episode.
Unobtrustive? How is random voices on your cell phone unobtrusive?
You could have a password to get to the data (you could make it thousands of characters long so that it would take way too long to crack), and then have a key to get to the password. Would that work, or would it be too easy to crack the thousand-character password?
