Redfin did a decent writeup at the beginning of the year when they were deciding what technology to use. It was helpful to read when I was making the decision for the company I work for. Some of the things they point out have changed/been fixed, but it's still a good overview.
I would assume a lot of users have switched over to SP2 since it's a "crictal update" on windows update. However, most of the people I know running XP (yes, it's a biased sample...) use FireFox. I've tried at work to force FireFox as the default browser for reason exactly like this.
Underwood, 39, said he will offer animal hunting as soon as he gets a fast Internet connection to his remote ranch that will enable hunters to aim the rifle quickly at passing animals.
I can imagine it now... accounting for tirgger lag when you're hunting online. This would probably just plain suck on 56K.

Does anyone know if this thing will work with Linux?
If it did support linux, maybe it also would supports OGG. This would be an appreciated feature. This review says nothing about OGG it's support for OGG. Anyone know if it actually does support it?
The spammers that they were hosting include some of the worst - Eddie Marin, the spam king of Florida for example, a lot of the Viagra spammers, and a lot of the pornography spammers.
Now where am I going to my pr0n?

Subject: XP SP2 - Statement of the NTBugtraq list
Ok, so I feel like I need to do this, hopefully its understandable.
1. XP SP2 is the most significant security effort Microsoft has ever
produced. Granted, it may not be a "silver bullet", or solve all
problems, but it is significant in so many ways that we as a security
community cannot fail to acknowledge it. I admire "discoverers" as much
as the next, but before XP SP2 can be written off it will take many,
many, vulnerability announcements.
a) IMO, this is the first time that Microsoft has put security over
existing, and frequently used, features.
b) IMO, this is the first time that Microsoft has accepted the fact that
their choice is going to lead to "some" incompatibilities.
c) IMO, this is the first time that Microsoft has taken a stand against
ISV who are definitely making money out of some features they (MS) made
available to them.
2. I, at least, as NTBugtraq Editor, believe we, as the NTBugtraq
community, need to stand behind Microsoft's efforts. That means we need
to continue to endorse XP SP2 despite what problems have arisen or may
arise (within obvious reason.) The media is only going to state the
problems. They cannot appreciate, nor do they believe their customers
are willing to pay for, stories about XP SP2 successes.
So, I want to hear from you, every one of you, regarding XP SP2 success
or failure. Obviously, I want those stories in as much detail as you can
provide.
There are, no doubt, some (many?) applications which will not be
compatible with XP SP2. I say they represent Vendors who are not
prepared to accept the responsibilities we've always felt they should
have as reasonably security-minded Vendors. They've had lots of time to
figure out how to make their apps compatible, and have *chosen* not to.
I offer any Vendor who feels Microsoft left them "in the lurch",
regarding their problems with XP SP2. a forum to express their problems.
Equally, I offer all NTBugtraq subscribers a place to state the problems
they are encountering with an ISV application.
It is extremely important for corporate environments to get XP SP2
deployed to all home systems running XP. Let's make sure the media has
the right information.
Cheers,
Russ - NTBugtraq Editor
This birngs up another good question... Are there any open source books on security (I haven't ever really looked)? I would guess that even if there are, they aren't aimed and the "home" or casual user.

Isn't that what lab fees already pay for?
The EFF has setup a contact form here.
Ummm.... yeah... Linky!
The SF Media Portal site seems to be /.'d. Here's the Google Cache.

insert windows jab from overzealous mac user here
After skimming the article it seems like these are more like on demand content services rather than other "Internet TV" providers.
Why turn it over? Just make a heatsink cooker like this guy did.
What about OGG?
it'd be pretty easy... format C: -y
Expect it to go well over #30K, especially with people bidding it up for fun without any intention of paying...
Wouldn't a 4.1% raise be equal to a cost of living increase since the last raise was seen in 2001? Then it's not really a raise...
sucks for those history majors... -4.80% from last year
How long will it take for others to unblock their IP ranges so they can recieve legit e-mails from them?

Since when did Slashdot have integrity?
would they call that the "sex-top-box"?
