You can't censor the internet... you can make it harder to get the information. To fully censor the net, you'll have to block all traffic... but that sort of beats the whole idea of having a net.:)
Nice with standards... now we just have to sit back and wait for people to follow them. That could be a while since there are quite a few developers who don't give a darn to adhere to them.
JavaScript is good for many things, like eliminating travel to server for doing basic input checks, make HTML documents smaller (and thereby faster to transmit), dynamically creating HTML in a frame etc. Other people can probably give you more examples.

If you really want to crusade against something, then VB script is a better candidate or why not Outlook... the worst virus spreading software ever created.
Remember the "/." story awhile back about panama? One of the poster's links was to the idea of "callback", and the companies that did this Guess were they were?
Do you think this is a trendbreaking thing? Why do you think that computer geeks from the countryside move to the urban areas? I can tell you one reason... job opportunities. This callback story is just a drop in the ocean.
As for rural folks, I can tell you they're smarter than people give them credit for (I'd like to see how some of you "educated" folks do running a rural farm).
I never put them down with my post, so I don't understand why you even bring this up.
"I thought digital technology would eventually reverse urbanization, and so far that hasn't happened," Mr. Gates said
Hightech and IT companies tend to stick together in certain areas for a reason. If you want a job in these industries, you better move away from the countryside since mentioned industries won't move to a small town in the countryside were they can't find enough skilled workers. I guess Bill thought that we all should be teleworkers, but most IT jobs require personal interaction, so you're still dependent on being close to the clients.
There are other reasons on why people wants to leave the countryside. It's not all about jobs, but the lifestyle you want. There are for instance more choices (eg. entertainment, restaurants) in urban areas. Thinking that the people leave because they've got the ability to search jobs is to make this issue a little bit too simple. This trend of urbanization is nothing new... and it will continue, with or without wired towns in the countryside.
The music industry really tries to follow the marines saying "Adapt, Improvise, and Overcome!"... unfortunately for them, they'll never reach the Overcome part since their attempts to Adapt and Improvise fails miserably.
It smells like what they are using is the effect you get when a lot of water rushes from the ocean through narrow straits to fill the gulf behind.
I don't know the exact location of these underwater turbines, but here's a page with an illustration of the turbines. I guess these turbines could be used for normal currents as well as for the intended tidal currents.
Err, dude, if you think scandanavia's not cold, I dont want to know where you live!
The climate in Norway and Sweden is very mild compared to Canada. Maybe you should do some reading on the Gulf Stream's impact on the climate of northwestern part of Europe.
I guess it's a good idea, but what kind of effect would we get if we start putting huge turbines in the oceans that affects the currents? E.g. Mess with the Gulf stream, and Scandinavia will get a rather cold climate.
Did Microsoft learn anything from Apple's Newton? I doubt that people will line up to get their hands on a Tablet PC, since it doesn't offer anything new. If it had come with a very advanced voice recognition, I would certainly have been giving it a second thought. But this whole Tablet PC adventure is yet another step by Microsoft to get a better foothold in the hardware market. MS continues to diversify their business...
It took the power of 10,000 computers running around the clock for 549 days, coupled with the brain power of a mathematician at Indiana's University of Notre Dame, to complete one of the world's largest single math computations.
Maybe we should tell these guys to use modern computers instead of the network of Altair 8800, C-64, VIC-20, ZX81, TI-99/4A and MicroBee computers.
Michael Cowpland took the right direction at the wrong time when he rode on the Linux revolution. I believe Linux is the way, but he put too much of the business on doing stuff for a market that wasn't ready for it. Even though Michael is not a part of Corel anymore, the damage from this decision still affects Corel to this day. I hope they'll return to profit one day.
The 220 who got pinkslips can look forward to a long period of unemployment since there are about 30-35,000 unemployed techies in Ottawa. Home Depot recently announced that they wanted to hire 80 people for a new outlet, and got nearly 30,000 people applying. (techies and non-techies) The only way out of this unemployment trap is either to move or to start up your own company.
Creative is dancing to MS' jingle, so most likely it's loaded with DRM software. Perhaps it will be featured together with their other products on the hall of shame.
The important thing for the Linux community is to prove to the IT managers that Linux has lower TCO than Windows. After all, having 60, 70, 80 or 90% of the developers favoring Linux doesn't mean a thing if the management doesn't believe it will pay off.

Iraq is proud to announce that they're using Linux for the guidance system in their new generation of scud missiles.
Thank goodness they choose open source!..
I believe lasers would be more useful to shoot down enemy airplanes.
As for shooting down incoming nuclear missiles... do as the Russians planned to do... detonate nuclear missiles among the incoming missiles. Who cares about the EMP when you save your people from being nuked?
WiFi antenna technology today that can give a 2000 ft. range indoors...
I doubt this applies to a building filled with electric interference, like a telco switch centre or a large server centre. When I was working for Nortel Networks, we had problems using wireless scanners inside the labs. The only solution was to put up more antennas.
I just can't wait to migrate the Windows startup jingle to Mac... it's just so cool...:P
Seriously... As mentioned by others on this board... what's wrong with using FTP?
The most common word in the EULA is 'or'. (There were more commas, but I don't count that as a word) 'Or' was used 186 times (4.86% of all words and special characters (eg. punctuation, comma)) in their EULA. Comma was used 348 times. (8.53%)
So for all you EULA writers out there... use a lot of 'or' and commas in the text... just to make sure you can protect your site against the evil customers and other evil visitors.

You certainly can censor the internet.

would barely affect ocean currents. Done any research on this area?

1-900-PAY-US99 - 20 minutes of prerecorded messages and sales pitches, and then I got to leave a voice mail.
... just $5.99 per minute. Who said that MS doesn't care about their customers?
Microsoft has introduced a new support line: 1-900-URW-RONG

Now Ericsson better team up with Nintendo and Motorola has to seek help from Microsoft.
What's next? The mobile phone manufacturers teaming up with the movie and/or music industry?
