Yes... I did know all this, and yes, the server side validation does work better. I personally never use the client side, but people do - I've seen it many times, and that's all I'm saying. VS.NET - for a beginner - makes the client side validation seem like an easy solution to form validation - which it isn't. Geez people get fired up around here...
With regards to this not being the same thing - I understand that as well, however - it does seem that this crack is JavaScript related - being that using javascript you can disable it - meaning that they could use some stronger validation. If I'm way off - please excuse.
Sometimes, the cost of developing incredible interfaces is not something a company wants to pay for. I'm a developer for my own company and I find that most of my clients want to get the task done (read "functionality"), with all options available, and would rather inform their staff and/or clients on how to use the software rather than spend double the cost to add ultra friendly interfaces.
That being said, of course I always try to develop the most user-friendly screens as possible, but sometimes business functions are just complex. Period.
Are they doing this jamming on purpose? If so, I'm trying to figure out why they would do this......maybe it's so that people can't transmit other types of things on those frequencies, as they are probably the easiest to f#%sk with. Maybe it's to prevent the extreme case of a terrorist remote detonating a bomb or something using a garage door openener (??). Dunno.. just a thought.

What good is building an audio delay if your sound goes through other components (ie. Big amp)? Wouldn't the sound then still be off? These people should be working to increase the processing technology, not slowing down the audio tech.
Well, it's simple really. His taxpaying dollars and his vote do not go (directly) to terrorists. They do go directly to the military... a LOT of his tax dollars go toward the military. He has an opportunity to make a statement towards his country, and people are listening.
Re: condemn or condone - what are you asking? condemn the use for terrorists? Yes. Is that preventable? No. Is the military use of Linux preventable? Not really. Is it an issue worth discussion - of course. Is it an issue worth standing up to - absolutely.
Yes yes, we all know the internet has military applications - but he's not the president of an internet group. Satellites - not president. See where I'm going with this?
And yes, of course, the military has given us some very nice technologies, and that's a great part of the military. The world would be even better if that's all they did - develop practical applications of technology for the advancement of humanity. But that's not all they do, and not everybody needs to support you, or bush, or the war. If this man, Claiborne, does not want his presidential position of LUG to be associated with the harm that the military is doing (in his opinion - and mine too BTW), then he's perfectly right and honorable to step down. If he wants to step down, and get people discussing the issue, and remove himself from that part of the application of Linux, then all the power to him. Good for him for standing up for what he believes in.
And please, enough of your crazy flaming. It does not become you.
Claiborne never "blames the tool". He simply is stepping down from his position because something he feels passionate about is being used for something he does not support. Arguments such as "he might as well stop using hammers too" etc are reactionary and ill-founded. Claiborne does not spend his time at "hammer" meetings, furthering the development of hammers, promoting it's use etc. Even if he did, he would still not blame the hammer, he would step down from his position if all of the sudden the US army decided that their best method of attack would be to go and hammer Iraqi people to death.
Claiborne also mentions that he hopes that his move will "provoke discussion among the geeks", which it obviously is doing. The point is this - he's a large part of something that now has military application, and, being a non-supporter of the USA's current military actions and foreign presence, he's resigned his position. This is an entirely valid argument, and all those who are bashing him may want to look at themselves, and see if they have anything that they feel passionate about to remove themselves from if it begins to be used for something that's in the opposite direction of their values and goals, from their humanity.
Save all the time and money, hire a guy (or gal) who knows said city, have them sit at a phone line, and let people call him (or her) asking for directions.
Op: Can you tell me the street you are on?
Tourist: Michigan Ave.
Op: Number of the nearest building?
Tourist: 115
Op: Where are you going?
Tourist specifies a location
Op puts the two numbers into mapquest.
Op: Your destination is 5 miles away. 2 miles north, 3 miles east.
Op: That will be $3 please.
Very Funny. Same type of story, a friend of mine runs a business here and one of their administrative assistants sends out a monthly mailing to the clients. Well... she had linked in her monthly email a picture of coffee & donuts (Linked from another site). Needless to say, one month, the site owner replaced the coffee & donuts image with (you guessed it) gay porn! Well... their entire customer base had a fun surprise waiting in their inboxes the next morning, and the site owner refused to change the picture. haha....
This is entirely untrue. The main reason people pay for broadband is for P2P. There's really no other use for it on a home computer. So, if people can't use P2P, and can't download anything, why would they be paying >$40/month when they could get the internet for free? It's entirely in the best interests of the service provider to remain neutral or even support the P2P society.

Those with "Site Under Maintenance" - try using IE (if available)... worked for me.

That really is amazing. Proof of why I don't use the MS Validation Control when we develop in VS.NET - Just turn it off!

where was the USA in Rwanda? Hmmm... no oil? no action.
