I agree, the Internet did not fail. What might have failed was users knowledge of where to look for info. Basically, user ignorance. One other thing: that user ignorance is curable.I personally appreciated having Slashdot in addition to CNN television coverage. Not sure I ever would have found ananova.com without it. Several other links led me to mirrored images and such, all info gleaned off Slashdot. Outstanding job guys, and thank you for the insight into how it was accomplished.

Whoa.
Has someone not taken their prozac today?
How the fuck do you know it isn't what is going to allow us to catch the perpetrators? How the fuck do you know that it didn't prevent another plane from being hijacked? I could speculate forever, but the question remains, how the FUCK do you know, you stereotypical slashdot arrogant know-it-all?
Catch them? Umm, they flew into buildings. We MIGHT find the backer, we might not. Did having this monitoring stop this plan? Maybe it did stop others, but NOT THESE. As to being an arrogant know it all? Actually, I do not know what will catch them, I did not claim to. This is not speculation. Having Echelon in place, and monitoring of cell calls did NOT stop those planes.
Listen bud, the more I read your reply, the more i wonder what your level of comprehension is.
Should you care to continue this conversation, please, get a name. AC posting of insults is not why I wrote today.

Ok.. I empathize wholly with your vehemence, but there are some points to consider.
Did you or I commit atrocious acts of violence? No, of course not. Will having our rights trounced on fix this? Hmm.
Think for a moment. NSA has already admitted to listening to recordings of ALL cell phone traffic from NY that day. Did having access to all of that data make one iota of diference? Apparently not. Did Echelon "protect" us? No, apparently not.
Along with the rest of the nation, I watched radar images tracking these hijacked planes. Was anything able to protect us? Apparently not.
What did mitigate this act of terror? That is easily answered. Folks like Jeremy Glick spring to mind. A braver person than most I must say , who was willing to stand up tall and give his (their) life in an effort to save others.
All the data processing and collection in the world is easily circumvented by simply reverting to a simpler technology...word of mouth.
As a nation, no as a world society, I belive we must band together as one to fight this type of mindless terror, but taking steps towards turning my home country into some form of police type state will only make matters worse.
Once again, let me reiterate: I wholeheartedly feel your pain. Since this act of terror unfolded, I have not slept more than about 30 minutes. I find my nerves shattered, my ability to function rationally a bit diminished. I have donated blood in some sort of attempt to just DO SOMETHING.... preferably something positive and helpful.
At some point, the attempt to understand this incident, and a resolve to comprehend the circumstances leading up to such a loss of life MUST be attempted. We must strive to COMMUNICATE with each other as human beings sharing a common planet.
Please, reply if you'd care to. I strive not to degenerate into mindless rantings of rage, and I urge others to do the same.
My question was directed at you because out of curiosity to how SQL scales, I clicked your sig link.
I know I should be a bit smarter in the future, and obviously should have explained myself further in my previous post. I assumed that the person who choses a sig such as that to deliberately mislead someone to be a dickhead.
Mod this however you so choose. But before you do, maybe read the original post I replied to.
Maybe see if YOU might be inclined to search for more info.
See if you don't get a bit pissed.
As a developer for a mid sized ISP, the Netscape vs IE thing has gotten way out of hand. It has come down to writing 2 pages to get stuff to display with some sort of equality across these two products.
Don't get me started about IE for the Mac. There is actually 3 distinct browser types I need to be aware of.
Performance wise, IE has it...hands down. Try loading slashdot in IE, then wait to see how long it is in Netscape from download time to rendering. Amazing difference.
Its a different standard, slower, and I have been waiting too long for the new "features" to smooth out in Netscape.
ok, how many of have donated plasma in the past 2 years? Did you realize that your blood/plasma has been genetically screened,and that the results *are* available to authorized agencies?
So the UK now uses results like this to determine insurance eligibility? Very Very scary. Imagine being denied insurance , for something genetic testing has shown a weakness for. I have always believed insurance was a bit of a scam, this clinches it. Of course insurance is not designed to protect those who need it, rather it is a capitalistic tool used by the rich to get richer.
more specifics:
Form buttons do not "depress" when clicked.
Mail prefs window is graphically corrupt. All other pref windows come up real slow, but work ok.
The delay time from download to render is amazingly long.
Is this slow for anyone else? I am running win98 on an AMD K6-200 with 64mb ram, nothing else running, and it is amazingly slow. Not just slow launching, but an overall sluggishness in everything from file menu access to page rendering. Unusable for me . Pretty, seems to have become rather asthetically pleasing, but still unusable as of yet.
If the contact info is no longer valid, the ISP that hosts the domain can *also* be a tech contact. So basically NSI sends them a form , which they can then use to let your domain go.
This is amazing. After reading the link on the napster ban page, I am just amazed at the request made there. A legal binding form?? Somehow I have a problem with that. How do you verify the identity of the person who clicks "submit"? IANAL, but the company lawyer says we must also have someone fax or deliver a *signed* copy of any agreement posted online. So how does this hold up? Do you need hard copy in a case such as this or not? What kind of legal binding is a submit button?
It's what they (Napster) said they would do. Somehow, it seems like a quite benign response. Just make a new account. But...it seems this might just be the first shell fired in a long bitter war. Metallica's lawyers are not likely to let this go away quietly now. What's next? Who's next?
To be real blunt, any business schooled music exec that cannot see the demand for free music is blind. What a HUGE opportunity to develop a new market. For crying out loud, people are begging for free downloadable music. I would much rather spend time debating ways to provide a sampling of music for free. What if.... an artist released a lower quality digital version online...then , used some form of advertising to entice you to buy the full quality cd for a *reasonable* price. Mabbe there are better ways to implement something like this, but the main point is to give your customers what they are asking for, a simple business concept. Anyone familiar with the business model at your local convenience/grocery store? Know what a loss leader is? It is a planned loss to achieve a bigger gain. Works real well for 7-11 and the like. I think it would be cool as heck to get officially sanctioned mp3 music ripped by my favorite bands. Mark my words, some other band will come along and lead the way, it is only a matter of time. Some band will figure a way out to get real rich and famous for figuring out a way to provide mp3 music to their listeners. Especially now that so much attention is being paid to the matter.
Not to get too offtopic, but what exactly would it take for a band to "Make It" in the land of mp3? What a cool concept. You would have to have massive banner placement or something else with a sound clip. Maybe in tandem with a cool video with TV advertising it could be done. Now to approach this from the other end of the spectrum, an already established band could really pave the way for something like this. Aren't there artists already releasing singles and such? I wonder how history will look upon the beginnings of the internet as such.
This rocks!!! There is an ITEC convention happening soon,n and the ISP I work for is showing. My boss wants me to make a custom distro for handing out. What a cool project, I love my job!!!
Just downsample the entire album to a lower sample rate. Not too low, but enough to make you want to buy the CD. Then make your digital music available for free. Now what a concept....This way you get to straddle the fence a bit, really a way to appease both sides of this issue.
Listen putz, when I say I have seen it cracked in three seconds, I was talking about my own box. I am *not* making up numbers. Mandrake 7.0 , no PAM update or even mention of it anywhere on Mandrake site at the time, and it took longer for pamslam script to be downloaded than it took for it to give root access. After a bit of research it was fixed, but not before wiping the machine totally.
(Sorry to flame, but had a bad day and really don't appreciate being told anything about making up numbers)
I run Linux at home, several co workers do, the head of ops runs it. I have personally seen linux boxes cracked in 3 seconds. Net BSD seems quite possible though.
This.dll is located in the \Microsoft Front Page\version3.0\isapi\_vti_bin\_vti_aut . When opened up in a hex editor, the phrase is clearly there...and backwards.BTW, this is Win98, *not* NT. Ok, how does that affect me? Honestly, this is the first time I have run a.dll through a hex editor. What can I do with this?

Just released on FOX(TV) news:
Threat to Empire State building prompts NYC police to evacuate the neighborhood.
fucking dickhead.
where is your head at posting something like that here?
I find it hard to rationally comment when tears stream down my face. I saw the World Trade center collapse before my eyes on CNN.
Oh my god.
Gone.
