From TFA: "A number of D-Link products, so far I have at least identified DI-604, DI-614+, DI-624, DI-754, DI-764, DI-774, DI-784, VDI604 and VDI624, contain a list of NTP servers in their firmware and using some sort of algorithm, they pick one and send packets to it."
No, in "Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings" click the advanced button and it lets you specify multiple SMTP servers. As long as you set them up properly you can use as many as you want.
This thread from the ubuntu forums might be of interest to you. I couldn't figure out why I was getting stuck this morning, so I wondered if it was just an ubuntu issue (or all firefox on linux). Apparently someone with FC3 was also locked out, so it seems they've locked out linux users.
Well, amusingly enough Gap.com doesn't allow IE on the Mac either. Only Netscape 7+ and Firefox.
Here's the full message:

I'm sorry, I should have posted the whole story. It's at my website (from this morning) but I didn't want people hitting it. Anyway, it happens with most of the Gap Inc. websites. They all used to say "Unsupported Browser: Safari" in the title bar, but that has since disappeared from all but www.bananarepublic.com.
The sites affected are: www.gap.com www.bananarepublic.com www.oldnavy.com
Interestingly enough another gap inc. site: www.fortheandtowne.com is not affected, though it is an entirely flash (shudder) page.
Speaking of safari, does anyone know why some websites are locking out safari users?
I got caught in the net to catch them by some messed up code (using Firefox on Linux) as my wife gets the "we don't support safari" error message from gap.com.
Is there something safari doesn't support that gap.com would need? or what reason is there to lock out your userbase?
Changing the user-agent string apparently fixes things, but who wants to order from a company that doesn't allow you as a customer?
Anyone have any answers as to what breaks on the page in safari?
"When the point was put to the head of Apple's iPod division, Jon Rubenstein - who in the past oversaw the development of the Titanium PowerBook - the one that killed off Wi-Fi reception, because metal cages do that - he replied: 'Nah, you don't really think that? It's made of the hardest polycarbonate... You keep it in a pocket with your keys?'"
I thought it had to be a joke. Apparently this is made of polycarbonate which scratches easily and this has been known for a long time. Apple probably just asked the supplier for their hardest material without taking scratching into account (basically they asked the wrong questions of their supplier). Admittedly an excellent supplier would have pointed out that a polycarb cover would scratch easily, but it's Apple's responsibility to do the research. I find it difficult to believe that no one noticed this in their tests of the device.
They'll have to do something to fix this I'd imagine. What a blunder.
Apparently the publisher has since gone out of business (That was the reason given before for the search). My suspicion was that Intel was trying to use "news" to get a bit of free advertising around the time of their dual-core release. Also this would help to differentiate Intel from AMD in people's minds.
After all, people will think "Intel has that guy who predicts fast chips."
These are hitting the market but won't be shipped for a few weeks - or so I gather from what I read in TFAs. By "Hit the market" they seem to mean "vendors are taking orders" which - to me - seems meaningless.
AMD claims not to do this in one of the articles: ""'t is important to note that AMD only announces products when we are able to immediately begin shipping for revenue and that we have been shipping dual-core AMD Opteron processor production samples to customers and partners since January,' the statement added."
I guess we'll just have to see if AMD actually has products available at their release or if they're just doing the same thing Intel seems to be doing here.
Actually from that story, people just don't want blogger's posting people's home addresses and such. From that very survey 52% of those asked said that they thought that bloggers should have the same protections as traditional journalists (27% did not).
My guess is that if you ask people if newspapers should publish people's home addresses when they write stories about them, they'll say no there as well. I hardly think that people just feel that way about blogging.
Personally I think that ZDNET story was poorly titled and sensationalist.
I'm not trying to flame you here, but this isn't a Republican coming up with the bill. Harry Reid is the senate minority leader (and thus a Democrat). This republican is introducing a bill which is a companion to his, so that they could (theoretically) both be passed and then go to a conference committee, before going back up for a vote and then on to the president for signing or vetoing.
Anyway, it seems to be more bipartisan than soley Republican or Democrat. If someone wanted to nitpick they could point out that Harry Reid's bill was introduced almost a month ago (March 17, 2005), but I don't think that is appropriate here - since it would just start a partisan flame war. (Hoping to preempt any responses with that or flames later on).
I use adblock and don't see popups. Can someone give an example site where someone is getting around the popup blocking? It may be that I don't visit such sites, or it might be that I've configured adblock in such a way that the popups get blocked by that. In any case, I'd like to test this.
Actually I was talking about the part where the users have modified their prius to plug it in. I understand that the battery packs don't fall into this catagory (though they cost energy to produce, which you may not recoup - even with the higher MPG).
I'm not trying to bash what these guys have done - but isn't plugging it in and then looking at MPG very decieving?
On the other hand, it would be interesting to see how the $/mile stack up to see whether or not a plugged in prius can be more efficient in terms of cost.
That link appears to discuss an issue of patents, not copyright. At least that's what the press release seems to state.
The other one (from below) though does seem to be suggesting that it would be possible to copyright the implementation of an interface (but not the idea of an interface) which is certainly interesting. Thank you all for the clarification.

Slashdot Mirror
Damn, I could have diagnosed you from your slashdot nick.
I asked for details and this is what he provided to me. I haven't gotten to do this yet:
"If you download the firmware from DLink and run unarj on it
you get a file called something like nml.mem.
Run strings on that and grep for GPS.dix.dk to make sure it is not
listed in there."
From TFA: "A number of D-Link products, so far I have at least identified DI-604, DI-614+, DI-624, DI-754, DI-764, DI-774, DI-784, VDI604 and VDI624, contain a list of NTP servers in their firmware and using some sort of algorithm, they pick one and send packets to it."

"Apparently this is made of polycarbonate"
Should read:
Apparently this is made of uncoated polycarbonate.
There are coatings which can make polycarbonate scratch resistant.
As a chemist when I read in the register article:
"When the point was put to the head of Apple's iPod division, Jon Rubenstein - who in the past oversaw the development of the Titanium PowerBook - the one that killed off Wi-Fi reception, because metal cages do that - he replied: 'Nah, you don't really think that?

I'm not sure but it's 455 to 700 miles/hogshead! (7 gallons = 1 hogshead apparently). conversion info

AFAIK you cannot copyright an interface. You can, apparently, pattent parts of an interface though. I'd guess that this would be their concern?
There's a Fedora Core 2 RPM here:

Good luck with anything else (the site with the source is slashdotted now
before the 40Mb downloads crush his server. It seems a little late now. I guess we'll have to wait for his server to recover.

The RIAA is not a company. The RIAA is a trade group which represents the largest music conglomerates. Think of it as a legal cartel.
