I've been wondering if anybody else would comment on that. The important thing isn't the number of hostenames, or the number of sites, it's the number of servers running each product. As others have pointed out, you can have several thousand inactive sites vhosted to one box, all run by the same copy of your server software. In reality, that's one installation, but Netcraft is counting it as several thousand installations. More proof, if anybody still needs it, that figures don't lie, but liers figure.
I've seen some of the footage of the disaster. It was used as stock footage in Superman vs The Atom, the second Superman serial by Republic Studios. There was a car on the bridge at the time, so they had Superman hold the bridge steady long enough for the car to escape, then let it fall because it was too far gone to save. A very imaginative way to show how strong he was, using a real life disaster. (BTW, the car actually did escape; nobody was killed or injured by the collapse.)
Not only did Mullholland build that dam that collapsed, he also built the Los Angeles Aquaduct, that's still bringing water down from the North to supply the city's needs. He's also remembered by Mullholland Drive, along the Santa Monica Mountains. I don't know if he built it, but I do know it was named after him.
erm, yes, sure. you see, I *had* to buy all those penis enlargement pills...
Yes, but you didn't have to take them, did you? It's a shame that, although it does make your penis longer, it doesn't increase the total volumn of it. How are you going to explain to your Significant Other that you're penis is 14" long and.5" across?
Had the author used strong public key cryptography instead of a symmetric cypher...
I may be wrong (Like most/.ers I haven't RTFM.) but it looks to me as though the password wasn't encrypted at all, just stuck their in plain text. Considering the work that went into writing the virus in the first place, not encrypting the password was just plain lazy.
Even better than encrypting it would have been if the virus had taken the password, phoned it home and gotten it verified. That way, each victem could get a different one, making it useless to share yours with anybody else.

Not a grammar enforcer, just expressing a pet peeve. As far as sentence fragments go, there are times they're acceptable, and the need for brevity was a major concern. You'll even find fragments in highly respected classics if you want to be fussy about it.
Well I thought that the mud would act as a lubricant to the earthquake faults, setting up Earthquake season.
Not unless the mud can seep 5 miles underground or more. And, yes, I'm The Guy With The Sideburns. It's a long story, and doesn't belong here. Glad to see I'm recognized. I'd have used Sideburns as my handle here but it was taken.

It probably would, but don't call me Shirley.

First, I'm not British and second, that wouldn't be libal, it'd be slander. Having checked a bit, truth is a defense in Britian, but not an absolute defense as it is in the US. Don't know what the difference is, though.
Considering how long ago it is, I'd not be surprised if the memory had faded a tad. That's why I just pointed out the discrepancy and didn't call the poster a liar. for the time, the typo you suggest is another good explanation.

Checking on Wikipedia, I noted that truth is a defense in Britian, and an absolute defense in the USA. I presume there's a reason for the different phrasing, but I have no idea what it is. However, I do know that in Britian, libel suits are often used by the wealthy to keep unpleasant facts out of the press.

We had a big 10Gb Corvus hard drive (the original Winchester)...
That didn't sound right, so I did a little checking. FOLDOC tells me that the drives got their name because they had two 30meg volumes, rather like the Winchester 30-30. If you really were working with a 10Gig drive, it wasn't a Winchester, and it wasn't in 1979, either, because they didn't have drives that big back then.

Not only did he buy a broken laptop, he's made himself vulnerable to a libel suit. Being in Britain, even if everything he says is true, that's not a defense. He held the seller up to public ridicule, and that's all that matters there. He may well end up paying thousands of pounds in damages, and if so, it serves him right. Not only is what he did wrong and irresponsible, he didn't even try to get his money back, he just published the photos to humiliate the man he bought it from. With any luck, his stupidity will be its own punishment.
You write that you're archiving your old backups. This is good, of course, for several reasons. You need multiple copies in case the newest one isn't usable, and you may need to acess old data. However, how far back do you plan to go in saving old data? If you just keep all backups from now on, you'll have an endlessly rising storage fee because they'll just take up more and more room, and the chances you'll need the older data will get smaller and smaller. Part of creating a good backup policy is deciding how much to keep, and what to do with obsolete tapes. In some cases, such as tax records, you may be bound by legal requirements, but even so, there's no need to keep them once they're old enough the government can't request them any longer.
Close, but no cigar. The four seasons in Southern California are Fire, Flood, Earthquake and Riot. I should know; I'm the one who posted that to rec.humor.funny about fourteen years ago. Besides, Mud is just a subsidiary of Flood.
One, you will need every droplet of water you can get. Have you learnt nothing from the droughts that even England (of all places!) manages to suffer from?
What does England have to do with it? Unlike a Lunar colony, the English climate is an open system; the colony's will be as closed as possible. As far as needing every drop of water you can get, don't you know that one of the byproducts of metabolism is water? Given time, you'll have more than you need. I wasn't thinking about breaking it down right from the start, but only after they'd built up a reserve, as a way to deal with any excess. You're right, however, in pointing out that becoming self-sustaining will take time, and they'll need imports at first, but it's a long-term capital investment, not an operating expense.
Of course there'd be leaks, and of course you'd want to expand. However, once the base was established, most of its needs could be satisfied by recycling.
Oxygen isn't as hard to bring from Earth as you might think. Not only do you have to bring air to breath, you have to bring water, both for drinking and for cooling. Once a base is set up, some of that water can be broken down, releasing oxygen. Not only that, the food you carry there also contains oxygen. Part of the base will be a greenhouse, fertilized by waste products and converting CO2 into O2, plus part of the colonist's food supply. If there's too much organic waste, some of it can be incinerated, leaving (mostly) water and CO2, both of which the greenhouse can use. Yes, if we can't get much oxygen out of the regolith, we'll have to ship it up, but that's a one-time expense, not an ongoing one.

If so, they can set it up so it can be viewed on sets that haven't the ability to receive broadcasts. Won't that make the TV license people happy!
