Correction. CentOS uses the same sources that were given to RedHat by the community to build their distro. If Redhat doesn't want their patches to be publicly available, they shouldn't use GPL licensed sources. The 99% that Redhat doesn't create doesn't become Redhat's just because they pay to add their 1%. That was the whole point of open source, and Redhat accepted that for years.
Hell, I bought the RHEL Workstation, but it was crap. I used an old slackware image until FC2 had enough third party apps to be usable. Still, I need sound and WiFi drivers.
It's recent versions of Firefox that enabled them. Get an older build of Mozilla. Not only will it keep blocking, but it will work better, crash less, and has a nicer UI.
Why do we want to surrender functionality? Don't give up the web to those that abuse it. Kick them off it by boycotting. Google has almost singlehandedly re-launched the dotcom boom by getting the eyeballs of people who choose to reward good sites and ignore bad tactics such as pop-ups, excessive banners, animations, and blurring between content and advertizement. You have the power to determine content. Don't bow out by surrending both the content and the functionality.
"The standard is adopted and will be maintained by a not-for-profit organisation"
This specifically and deliberately gives the government control the standard. Unless someone besides the government can determine what counts as a not-for-profit organization.
But where do people get their personal biases? That's what is called thinking... Making decisions based on values. Either people will gravitate to outlets that are biased toward what is good and right, or they will gravitate towards outlets that flatter their personal vanity. No one will flock to what they find offensive and wrong. The decisions that people make about what to gravitate towards were called "morals" once.
Actually "blogs" just post links to other content. A blog is someone making a "log" of "web" sites they've seen or heard of. An online diary is what you are thinking of.
Here's the thing. Someone pays $500 for a "spot ad" (1x2 inch) in your local paper with a half million circulation, but in truth only about 10% of the papers in circulation get an actual reader. Not to mention that's relative to the dozens of 24x24 inch pages. A banner add on a targetted site with the same stats should be worth much much more. But here's the real kicker. A website costs next to nothing to create, and absolutely nothing to publish. It costs millions of dollars a year to run a major paper, and millions of dollars more to print it. A website costs the price of layout tools (nothing, okay, maybe $100,000 for a fancy CMS system.) and about a hundred dollars a year to publish. Oh, and you get links.
I'll bet there are heaps more MIPS workstations nowadays than there ever were when MIPS was "going strong" It's just that relative to what x86 has done, it seems small. Granted, I'm talking about workstations which were nearly all purchased befor 2001.
There isn't even a Devry Institute anywhere near Seattle. North Carolina has "Research Triangle" and that name's been around longer than Redhat or Microsoft. Texas is only "not apart of the South" because Texas is as big as all the rest of the South combined. Living in South Carolina doesn't make you an authority on the south, it only gives you an excuse when you sound stupid.
In 20 years your $300K home will be worth $150K (and you'll still have $150K to pay for it. So you'll end up having to pay the bank when the government reclaims your property as part of some urban renewal scheme to give a billionaire a new parking lot. My $100K home will be worth $2M and so will the the second home I bought with the extra money I had. I'll have another $300K in the bank from the money I've saved by not paying interest, but by then it'll just barely be enough to put my kids through college.
Sun bought them, I don't know if it's been open sourced. It is (or was) available for free for development use though. I've used chilisoft asp on my dev box and deployed to IIS 5.0 just fine. It's a fairly stable product (with apache 1.3 on windows, less so on linux) with good docs (much better than Microsoft's ASP reference.) The only problem I ran into was a Microsoft bug specific to Sybase ODBC drivers using cursors with ADO was not duplicated in Chilisoft. It's been several years since I used it though. I don't think anything has been updated since Sun bought Cobalt back around 2001.
Yeah, 1998 being one of the first years they compiled these "averages". And by the way, they pick and choose which temperature readings they include in the annual average. If you chose different locales and times based on whether they fit your criteria, you could make just as much case that 1998 was the coldest year on record. Notice how all the global warming guys are hedging their bets and saying that global warming might cause a new ice age (this in response to skeptics bringing up that 20 years ago, the global warming guys were predicting a new ice age.) But what the climate change guys (nee global warming guys) haven't taken into account is that they can bet hot or cold, but even if there is "climate change", both warming and cooling could cancel each other out. We could very well have global climate staying the same as a direct result of human intervention. And it's just as likely as not.
You can bet on craps and you can bet on lucky seven, but you won't get all your money back whatever the outcome, and you still don't have all your bases covered. Might as well put it all on the hard way hope Jesus comes back with a lollipop for you; holding hands with a resurrected Nietzsche and Lenin.
HP outlasted IBM in the consumer market, which is a lot bigger than "Global Services" and "Mainframes" combined. Ask Michael Dell and Bill Gates and even puny little Steve Jobs.
Carly doesn't have what it takes to reach her position anymore. After all, she's passed 50. That's not a sexist remark, it's a specific accusation of one woman.
The only reason he invented MIX is because he started it before C had become popular. Once you learn pointers and gotos, you can directly access memory, and once you understand how to write a loop or conditional with jumps, then there's no reason to go any lower.
An "Order of magnitude" means "times ten." That's all really. "Orders of magnitude" would mean more than one order, so I guess it means "times 100." "Orders of magnitudes" would mean more than one magnitude, so it would be:
2x*(10+y), y>=10, y%10 =0
Or in other words "at least times 400." So why not just say so. Sheesh.

It's important to have /home and /usr/local on separate partitions.

Slashdot pays many salaries with just big banner ads.
