They do the same with SSH. The other day I mispelled homelinux.org (that's a dyndns domain) and ended up in some server asking my password. They listen to SSH for all domains *.mispelled-homelinux.org (I don't remember the exact name) and harvest logins and passowrds. Luckily I only allow public keys in my home router so I could notice.
"If you really need your results to add up exactly, especially when you work with money: use a special decimal datatype"
Is is true that the GP mentions small numbers and fp is in fact more precise with small numbers, but when the numbers get larger the difference between two representable fp numbers gets bigger also.
Following your analogy, why is a tent with a steel door much worse than a tent with no door?
I don't need firefox to put a big security padlock on sites with untrusted certificates, just encrypt, shut up, and behave like a normal http site.
Totally agree with this. If I dont want to spend money paying a certification authority I should be able to encrypt anyway without the browser warning the user in big red letters that I am a pirate. Firefox warnings are geting worse in each version and, for the user perspective, it seems that encrypting with a non official certificate is much worse than not encrypting at all. By the way I use cacert to generate my certificates; it should be inlcuded in the default Firefox certification authorities list. I suspect there is money involved in getting into that list though.
Meh. I use Keynote as my main presentation software, but I am thinking of switching back to PPT. It is very easy to use, and looks great, but when you're going to a conference, you end up exporting to PPT anyway, and then you have to edit that PPT in Powerpoint to fix all the things that didn't make the jump. It's wonderful if you're sure that your laptop is going to work perfectly.
Have you tried exporting to PDF? Unless you have some fancy animations is the best way to have a portable persentation. Almost every pdf viewer has a full screen mode for presentations.
Why do you need pytvshows for?
I usually add the rss links directly into ktorrent and download from there.

The use case I was thinking is that you already are in the page you want to preserve and want to move away from it by clicking a link on the page. If you click it with the middle button you create a new tab with the linked page and keep the actual page intact.
It does not work if you are writing a new address in the bar but in that case you could create new empty tab and write the address there.

You can do the same with firefox (at least in linux) by clicking links with the middle mouse button. It opens the links in a new tab and you keep the original page intact. It's not a new window but I belive you can configure it to create new windows also.
They can use the long term support versions of Ubuntu. They are supposed to be supported for several years.
On the other hand I love to update my distro every 6 months to test new things and thats why I use kubuntu.
Firewalls will always exist for security reasons, and thus so will LANs
A firewall does not require NAT to be secure. You can have a firewall in the router with public IP addresses on both sides and it will still work just fine.
Slashdot Mirror
I think the GP has a point, the article switches from metrical to imperial units all the time. I don't know what is the imperial unit for a nm though
Just like blue thunder!
... and its memory footprint is smaller than OS X or Ubuntu ...

Really interested not trolling.
We all know that Macbook, iPhone, iPad and a Starbucks Grande-size Latte are the holy trinity in being "cool
I guess there is something unholy on that trinity of four :)

Yes, they do. From the article you mention

Yes, like Germany for example
I think his best move in this case should be to move away from the US (in case he can travel anywhere with that criminal record)

So, what's the problem? I mean, who (child or not) would volutarily have sex with Stallman?
no matter how efficient your home's insultation is.
I guess canadians get warm when their AI equipped homes insult them.
The post only mentions PPC macs. Maybe you have an intel mac.
Why shouldn't they? Unless there is an explicit law prohibiting taking pictures of airforce bases they didn't do nothing wrong.
I think the most shocking result is that Chuck Norris is 9th in the fastest rising list for South Africa wtf??
I think probably 2009 is the year of the nerd in high school.

This sounds interesting. Did you build it yourself or did you buy it pre-built with the touchscreen included?
Actually it can go up to $8019 with all the fancy stuff included!!!
It seems you have to do a lot of research to get vista working decently. I guess this proves that it is not yet ready for the desktop :)
