You cant run IE9 on older versions of windows can you ? Isnt one of the big reasons people used jquery in the first place was because it works well on most all browsers that are actually used? For any site with a fair amount of traffic you cant afford to just cut out so many of your users. Its true that you will be able to add in of If IE9 load 1.9 otherwise load 2.0 but that seems kinda lame and evnetually theres going to be a larger gap between 1.9 and the current 2.0+ version.
I think they should still include support for IE9 and just have it automaticaly handle switchign between the faster and slower code.
Either way its way way too early to drop IE8 and maybe even IE6-7
Thanks god for mysql_escape_string and mod_security. Certain large companies like Yahoo you just assume they have the money and time to make sure all of there code is tight, this is pretty lame on their part.
While I don't like the idea of big brother, big brutha is way scarier. The first half is all scary but the end of it looks ok. These changes could be read as a means to ensure that say communications to utilities and services have the ability to stay up during say a huge network flood. As we move into a more electronically controlled world we have an increasing amount of things that absolutely can not be taken offline and it looks like this might be a way of addressing some of those issues.
Its definitly time to retire thunderbird. It has been around forever and while its never been a bad email client, its not nearly as popular as it once was. Mozilla has enough other projects its working on to still be distracted by this. Thunderbird must be one of the oldest clients out there that was still developed.
Not having a newer grub might suck in some regards but it appears as though they are looking out for our best interest here. If the only thing keeping this secure is a companies 'promise' they wont ever take action, then I'd have to agree with Ubuntu.
They've reversed there previous policies on linux. They no longer run FUD campaigns against linux. They've taken some of the features from linux and various X window managers and incorperated them into windows. They've started more widespread use of linux themselves in their infrastructure.
This judge is realizing some of the very real problems with our patent system. Pinch me i must be sleeping. It would take alot more than 1 judge realizing there is a problem for anything to ever be done about it but this is a good step. If this judge was able to realize this, then whats wrong with all the other judges that havent?
Do people use Macs to store anything of real importance on? I mean when i think of servers or services that people might want to use malware to gain access to, Macs aren't really on the list.
Company drops support for old product rarely used anymore. A few people are upset. News at 11!
In Google's case it seemed more that they are just still trying out different user interfaces more than dropping a product.
I bet they're building something huge for space colonization. They would need a large amount of rare materials. I'm not looking forward to welcoming our new Space-Chinese Overlords
Basically they are requiring them to fansub everything on there site, which is illegal in the us isnt it ? These wouldnt and couldnt be official subtitles, and netflix doesnt have the rights to the media just distribution rights so they cant legally fansub material can they ?
Theres plenty of software out there (much of it open source) for making beats that has already been largely influenced by music artists. This is anything but news, thats like saying Windows will now be developed by people that use computers.
Open source desktops certainly aren't loosing. They have grabbed a solid userbase, however; many of the features only found in open source solutions are now being implemented in the commercial ones. In the case of like Windows vs Early KDE / Gnome, KDE/Gnome both had many features and control that was completely nonexistant or not as powerful. Over the years windows and other commercial systems have adopted many of the features that the open source community has thrown into its own software. This hasnt hurt the open source desktops but they dont have as much appeal as they used to if your looking for something thats just mindblowingly awesomer than windows.
We will be able to get computers to an intelligent point where they can decide to harm us way before we can get to a point where we can program them to not harm us. The language simply doesnt exist to make a computer aware of the implications its actions might have on people (such as emotional harm). On the opposite side of that we can definitly build computers that can not only harm us, but calculate better ways to harm us.
This is a sign that more of the labels are starting to realize they need to change with the times and will (hopefully) stop blaiming the lack of interest in buying CDs on piracy alone. With any luck more things like this will start to happen soon as companies start to test the waters of new business models.
This could be a great thing for both consumers and corperations, if they are willing to start trying new business models, it means we as customers could very well wind up with new innovative ways to enjoy media that doesnt leave you feeling like you just got ripped off.
I truely hope that after this family has done this, that this girls future as a possible model is ruined. I know I would stay very clear of people with a history like this if I was looking for someone to shoot.
Free (good) publicity for someone that is otherwise unknown and currently would have had almost no chance of any type of modeling career, this kind of thing could have really set her up to jump start a career, but no she has to go and get greedy and hopefully ruins her chances of ever making it.
I think its ludacris that the Creative Commons is being suid, and while Im sure that nothing will come of it, it just goes to show you that these people really are just after money and nothing else.
in DJBs case there was just cause, the whole inetd thing was prone to problems and so he wrote an alternative way to handle daemons that fixs all the problems in inetd.
Now alot of those initial problems have been resolved, but his alternative daemontools, is a very powerful (albiet cryptic imo) way of running daemons.
At any rate this has little to do with Thunderbird and more like an excuse to bitch about DJB;p The FreeSwan compairison had little to do with it either, in fact basically all of your argument is flawed. They are simply focusing on one project as it is much more popular. That has absolutely nothing to do with what your talking about.
Great idea, but they're not focusing on the good parts of it. This shouldnt be about wireless on the beach but more wireless within the city. This is a great technological advancement and something I hope more cities start to do as well.
As far as wifi on the beach little people will use it, but most people will be using it in the city where the wifi also is.
RFID tags: great for your kids, wonderful idea.. but not everyone will want these, should be optional.

there must be plenty of prior art for this, and doesn't that kill any patent suit ?

yeah actually originally i was but it wouldnt fit in the subject line :P .. neither would all of mod_security.

Didn't we already prove linux has a place in the world? Why are we still getting these stories still trying to validate linux.

Isn't this a fundamental tactic used throughout movies, tv shows, etc... (so it must be real)
So let me get this straight, and ISP just told us the password to 140,000 of its clients? I would seriously consider changing ISP's.

ati.com was still linking to the old driver for me, im not sure if it is for everyone else, however, this URL
should let you download the new driver:

40man or 25man raid ? I hope they have enough of all the required classes. I would have loved to bring my druid to the raid.
With any luck they have a couple mages with them to conjur enough bread to help fix that hunger problem.
