Very easy. If there's no drugs, there's no way people can use them and get behind the wheel of a car.
Sure! And if there are no guns, no one will be shot and killed. And if there are no elections, we can't vote for the wrong person. And if we aren't allowed freedom of choice, then we can't make the wrong decisions.
Here's a perl script that will do just that, then all you would need to do is combine it with mod_perl and you'd be set. As far as security I don't really think it'd be an issue, besides, you DEFINITLY have security-through-obscurity on your side here:-)
I ordered my Powerbook from the apple store not long ago on an Apple Credit loan. From the day I applied for the loan it took around two weeks for the laptop to be on my doorstep.
Err... No changes have been made, yet. And that "under the hood" thing isn't accurate.
I referred to the changes that Daniel and his team made to the site's code. How is that not accurate?
As a webdeveloper, I can surely say that IE (not even the latest, which isn't very recent), isn't fully CSS1 compliant, which means that a well formed CSS might break in explorer.
I said it looked fine in IE, what are you trying to argue?
Now, you go to school, and learn a bit more instead of trying to act smart.
What the hell? You attempt to argue with me and then insult me because I answered a question that you could have very easily gone and checked out for yourself? Grow up.
but perhaps this effort will be a catalyst for change...
How about a new look altogether?
I had a look at the new site, and while it does fix many problems and should certainly be used to replace the existing setup, why not go a little farther and retool the look of the site as well?
The look of slashdot has barely changed since the late 90's, and while the look certainly brings part of it's character, it's beginning to look dated. Perhaps it can be redesigned with a more effecient and cohesive interface while still retaining some of it's previous character?
Ah, well, then I stand corrected. However, my point was that I think it's a bad idea for a country to attempt to write laws governing a worldwide network.
After all, these U.S.-based spammers can still relay from anywhere, and they aren't the easiest to trace.
However, perhaps a do-not-spam list is a good thing in that possibly ISP's will be held accountable for the actions of their subscribers, and will thus work more dilligently to watch their networks.(and not sell bandwidth to spammers, you hear me, verio?)
(1.) U.S. Laws only reach as far as U.S. borders. Where does 95% of spam come from?
(2.) What is to stop spammers(who have previously shown themselves to be willing to break the law and root people's servers to use as relays) from using this Do-not-spam list as a database to spam? I mean, think about it, a nice, large index of completely valid email addresses? This is spammer gold people!
My personal favorite BSOD is the one where Bill Gates was doing a keynote showing off the new features of Windows 98 and it crashed on a massive screen in front of hundreds of people.
It's kind of true. I just recently bought a powerbook, and while I've been largely satisfied with it and don't regret my purchase one bit, os X is not without it's flaws.
Mainly, the finder. It's an unweildy, awkward interface that makes managing files on your drive an absolute chore, it has a completely useless properties menu that allows almost zero customization, and it doesn't remember choices in later instances(i.e., it refuses to STAY in a single view mode).
While the article is largely FUD, it shouldn't be completely dismissed, because some of it is accurate.
Does anyone besides Microsoft see these events as the end of FREE software?
No. Absolutely not.
I use free software because it is often developed and a more agressive pace, and the features I want are more likely to be implemented. Free software also cuts out the middleman a lot of the time as far as getting help with some software. Numerous times I have had a problems compiling x program and emailed the developer and gotten the help I needed to get it working, not to mention clued the developer into the fact that there is an issue getting their software to work on insert my platform here.
Compare, for example, the MSN Messenger, and Gaim. Gaim has more features, has an extensible architecture so that even non-geniuses can write plugins, and no advertisements.
Free software is better because it does what paid developers can't.
As for 3ware, I have a 12 port 3ware controller with 12 120 gig drives in it... and though its' tough for me to judge performance, as I use it chiefly over 100mbps ethernet
"According to a Yahoo/Washington Post article: 'It sounds like a suffering computer's dream come true: a desktop device that duplicates slashdot articles at the touch of a button. Police, fire and rescue vehicles have had access to such equipment for years, but now the devices are becoming available to ordinary hackers thanks to advances in technology and a little help from the Internet. Safety advocates are outraged, and news accounts in Michigan last week led to politicians there seeking a ban on the gadgets'."
I think it's "lingo" for the drug trade, but having a day job precludes me from being familiar with the language of "the streets" and as such I am not "down" with it.

Great logic...
Oh wait, Japanese == Vietnamese == Chinese == Phillipino == ... to a simpleton like yourself.
Not true! My best friend is a mexican!
Who has been tempted to do a string replace on the mozilla source, replacing all instances of 'mozilla' with 'mozirra'? :-)
Well my monitor is bigger than my TV, so I like to use it for DVDs more.
You might be a nerd if...
Good thinking
:-)

Pornographic spam is quite a problem...
Anyone remember farm sluts?
I'm surprised to see that the adult film industry, previously at the forefront in digital-imaging technology has fallen behind here.

I just wonder... how compatible will this be with IE?
It looks no different in IE now than before, the changes are all under the hood. rtfa....

No, It's a _horrible_ idea. Two things.
(1.) U.S. Laws only reach as far as U.S. borders. Where does 95% of spam come from?
(2.) What is to stop spammers(who have previously shown themselves to be willing to break the law and root people's servers to use as relays) from using this Do-not-spam list as a database to spam?

Good job, did you think no one would notice that you copied your post verbatim from "The man with the pla"'s?
Welcome to my foes list, asshat.
It's ART. Deal with it.

Anyone reccomend a good finder replacement?

Ahh, so you run a porn FTP too?
Why are you asking slashdot things that you should be asking your cable company?
Heh, now that you mention it, 71 is pretty clean, kudos to that woman :-)
