    At the risk of sounding like I'm defending MS, note that in your case you've had one continuous 4 year session. If it ever crashes, your OS has a really shitty failure rate. Lies, damned lies and statistics.

    Too bad IE won't support this for years, if ever

    I'm as much of an IE-hater as the next guy, but that's the one thing IE does support better than Moz. Or did anyway.

    I think it would take more volume than you imagine. Until attending college up in Roch-cha-cha, I had no idea just how Great those Lakes were (insert Old '97s reference). "Pissing in the ocean" comes to mind.

    Yeah. I can't stand IE and love Firefox, but I don't see "We gave up Netscape 4 and wound up with IE6" as a life lesson you could teach to the grandkids.

  15. Re:v6 could help solve some net problems on IPv6 is Here · · Score: 1

    I understand that NAT isn't firewalling. What I mean is it's probably the one thing keeping most people's PCs, X-Boxes, whatever from being open to anyone who wants to break in.

  16. Re:v6 could help solve some net problems on IPv6 is Here · · Score: 1

    But isn't NATing a Good Thing as far as the average user is concerned? It's got to be the most popular "firewalling" defense used in homes. Wouldn't a bunch of externally addressable IPs cause more problems than they'd solve in terms of machines being taken over?

    What does a college degree have to do with being computer savvy? Leonardo da Vinci* was a pretty bright guy, but if you brought him back now he'd probably have some computer issues too. Get some perspective: just because we grew up with computers and fiddle with them incessantly doesn't mean everyone does. And therew's no measure of intelligence that's going to correlate perfectly with computing success.

    Not PHP 3, MySQL 3. Every externally-hosted UNIX client we've worked with (~10) has been a combo of PHP4 and MySQL 3. I'm counting the days (and there will be a lot of them) until I can use PHP5's XML support and MySQL 4's stored procs/ sub-queries, etc.

    Well, Microsoft's Darknet paper (1mb .doc file) (as referenced in Cory Doctorow's recent speech to MS) suggests they'll research the problem until they come across a solution (e.g., KaZaa) to circumvent the protection and get their files in mp3 format. Next time they'll probably eliminate the middleman and just go to KaZaa.
