    by the fact that eEye calls Microsoft Windows a "System"? It's an OS, but this terminology gives it more credit than it deserves. My x86 system can run many other OSes.

    Yes, there is an extension for Mozilla that allows you to fake the referrer.

    MultiZilla appears to also have this feature. http://multizilla.mozdev.org/

    Copying and pasting the address in the parent post results in a broken search because a space got added between ht and ml.

    Here's a clickable link that does work.

    From there, click the link that says "try visiting that web page by clicking on the following link".

    Most wireless APs won't relay connections to each other.

    Maybe not most, but I have seen ones that do.

    Very good guide, but about all the wiring and cabling - didn't the article say this is a WIRELESS network? Yeah.

    Setup wireless APs to communicate with each other and extend the network, and eliminate 90% of the expensive wiring. Speeds won't be as good, and materials may cost more - but you'll save on labor.

    But maybe they'd like to do local LAN gaming or other network stuff? I didn't get the impression that it was solely to share an Internet connection. Neighbors can additionally buy their own access for faster speeds.

    Ties in quite well with Google's new orkut service.

    We are committed to providing an online meeting place where people can socialize, make new acquaintances and find others who share their interests.

    Doesn't it sound like this also ties in with researching those people who share your interests?

    You know how they say you only love someone more when that someone remains mysterious, or even rejects you?

    It's a scheme used to make people envy membership more. It magnifies elitism and and makes you feel left out.

    And/or perhaps Google is planning to introduce open registration soon, and they want to make sure billions of people are banging on the doors when they do. So they'll get lots of credit for being nice enough to let them in.

  18. Re:I guess the home market rules... on Intel to Increase Stages in Prescott · · Score: 1

    Then isn't it a good thing (tm) that Intel is choosing to use MHz/GHz (clock speed) to boost the performance of its processors? Imagine if both AMD and Intel decided to drop the MHz myth. What would you compare to? There would be no reference point, no way to name the performance of the processors (unless artificial or arbitrary, or something completely new altogether). Hmm! With no more MHz, what would that new reference point be?

    Boring version numbering. Apple decided to go X... what's up with that? There's Mac OS 9, then Mac OS X 10.0. Latest is Mac OS X 10.3 - using both X and 10 seems repetitive. RedHat went from 9 to changing their name to Fedora Core 1, effectively starting over. It seems to sound better with version numbers 10 (or 1-digit).

    Spam is a SOCIAL problem, not a TECHNOLOGICAL problem. Spam must be solved by economics and/or behavior.
    There will always be spammers, like there will always be criminals. But there are deterrents and law enforcement to take care of the criminals.
