    I have several domains, and I use Google "apps for your domain" to get gmail. I highly recommend it.

  4. Re:Don't update. on Helpful Stuff For IE7? · · Score: 1
    I'm running a site on Tomcat 5.5 with the default configuration. The HTTP response looks like this:
    Content-Type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1
    Transfer-Encoding: chunked
    Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2006 19:53:18 GMT
     
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transition al.dtd">
    The content type is "text/html", but the DOCTYPE is enough to put at least IE 6 into standards compliant mode. I haven't tested IE 7 or IE 5.x, though.

  6. Re:Don't update. on Helpful Stuff For IE7? · · Score: 1

    Forgive me if you already know this, but I ran across this bit of info a few months back. You can put IE into "standards compliant" mode by using certain doctypes. For instance, this doctype will make IE use the W3C standard box model, where the "width" css property sets the width of the content area (excluding borders and padding):

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transition al.dtd">

    This makes writing a site that looks great in Firefox and IE a little easier. Not a whole lot, but a little :)

    Try "Tools -> Options", click the "Advanced" tab, and there should be a checkbox in the "Browsing" fieldset for spellchecking.

    Assuming you have 2.0, that is.

    Unless, of course, the keylogger program is capable of detecting which window has the focus, and grouping keypresses accordingly.

  12. Re:Productivity? on One-Third Of Companies Monitoring Email · · Score: 1

    It probably has something to do with the employee's knowledge that they are being monitored. I know that if I were in that situation, it would be rather demoralizing, and I wouldn't be as motivated to work hard.

    A cool combination of Craigslist housing listing and Google maps. Seems to be very well done.

  14. Re:News at 11! on New Web Application Attack - Insecure Indexing · · Score: 1

    Read the article. This does not apply to "external" search engines such as Google and Yahoo - only to internal search engines that have access to the files via thru the filesystem, not through the webserver, since these "internal" search engines are capable of indexing files that would return a 403/401 via http.

    Fucking christ, I am so sick of these "I saw this article N days ago! Slashdot is slow!" comments. Look, the way /. gets articles is through submissions. If you see an article worth submitting, then fucking submit it. Don't bitch about it a week later when somebody else finds it.

    Case-in-point is the support wires in Sony Trinitron monitors. Very, very fine horizontal lines at the 1/3 and 2/3 levels on the screen are used to hold a mesh in place which gives the Trinitron series a great display. Every Trinitron style screen I've ever sold, I got asked, immediately, what the story was with the lines. Most customers balked somewhat, but all eventually agreed to live with it.


    Uhh.. thanks. I'd never noticed those lines until now. Crap.

    You do realize that people read /. at work, right? I'm thinking, hmm, I will browse /. for a couple minutes while my build finishes. Read a couple stories, roll my eyes at the polls, no biggie.
