It may surprise you to learn that PHP can be run on a Windows system using Microsoft's IIS as its web server. funnily, it's not, as this shows:
ed@ed-desktop:~$ telnet vistahelpforum.com 80 Trying 67.15.250.19... Connected to vistahelpforum.com. Escape character is '^]'. HEAD / HTTP/1.1 Host:vistahelpforum.com
There is zero reason not to mark these stupid-ass "In Soviet Russia" jokes as "Redundant" since they have been posted over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. So why are these "Funny" again? because the original joke was based on a political party finding the citizen, which has direct relation to TFA, the citizen loosing anonymity.
i disagree. pxe is on almost all nic's now, since most nics are onboard now and allow LAN booting. pxe is pretty simple to do and avoids the whole download cdr image.
often, where possible (openbsd) i boot from floppy as it's damn easier to do.
Actually the reason to leave it in gear while braking is because it generates a negative vacuum in the intake manifold which is used to power the brake booster. Normally, it's not a big deal but if your brake booster is borderline/your brakes are excessively worn, this can make a difference in stopping distance.
Grump We generally call that engine braking. If your brakes are *that* worn, better run through to the lowest gear and and throw it into reverse real quick.
Clutch in before braking too. I got told off by my driving instructor for doing that, he said I wan't in full control of the vehicle. That's a pretty lame reasoning on his part, but I suppose deep down he kinda had a point somewhere - you can't get out of the way in a hurry if you have to put it in gear before you can make it go. He'd probably freak out if he saw me heel-and-toeing down the gears these days, but for other reasons. its deeper than just putting it in gear to move out the way. when you disengage the engine from the road wheels the car is free to move on the gradient. it could gather speed if you do this on a hill for example. so, always keep the road wheels and engaged when braking, always x100.
when braking, some people brake in the gear they're in. i prefer to slide down the gears whilst braking. that way i dont come to an abrupt halt, instead i can pull off again should traffic ahead of me clear before i get to my intended stopping position. it's worth practicing this to get it right. there's also a technique called double-de-clutching, which is where one 'blips' the gas/accelerator when changing between gears so that the engine speed matches the road wheels when lifting the clutch up.
Wow, for a second there I thought Microsoft was doing something for the good of all mankind! Preserve data for future civilisations? Great!Then I clicked the link to the patent application. I almost forgot Microsoft's (or any corp) actions are solely driven by profit. Damn writeup. but... why would a cdrom not satisfy that requirement? a pressed cdrom is damn hard to get rid of. it's not like the data degrades rapidly. i've read things about fungi that can eat away at cdroms, but be realistic, providing one has a copy on cdrom, a copy on raid, and some parity checks, the data should be reliable. especially since it's not being written to continually.
added to this the fact that there are people around the world maintaining working computer museums for retrieval when systems are forgotten about, theres no reason to put the data on such an environmentally damaging format.
maybe if your kid's iq is near room temperature. my 5 year old would figure this out before long, and probably yours too. children act dumb sometimes, but they're pretty smart. thats why one must prevent DNS lookups outside of your network and ensure that no one can connect to something within the network that's a DNS server also, other than the one that the firewall permits.
this can be done though using/30 subnets and a firewall project. providing that everything sticks to this you're all right. it can create some congestion at the firewall though.
Technology giveth and technology taketh away. Unless your kid is especially Windows PC savvy just do this:
Open C:\WINNT or WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in notepad Append these lines: # block myspace.com host names ....
snip... Done!

thats a stupid way to do it. that means pages with that content take a while to time out, because there may not be a web server running on the localhost. why not put a dns server on your system that responds with NXDOMAIN, which makes the connections instantly close because they cannot be resolved.
It isn't whether mom-and-pop shops can afford the new certificates.
It's whether they'll be allowed to purchase them.
That's because sole proprietorships, general partnerships and individuals won't be eligible for the new, stricter security certificates that Microsoft requires to display the color.
its just more reason for people to jump browsers and use something that's not a pain in the ass.
$8000 might sound like a lot until you compare it to the stories we see of vulnerabilities being sold for $50,000 on underground sites. Why should I sell my findings to them for a much smaller amount?
USD 8000 a lot? multiply that by the past exploits of a new code base such as win9x.. verisign shares much bump a lot....
As for playing with them like your cat plays with injured mice, I don't want to even apply for your company. What the hell?
Perhaps it's just my dry, ex-British-colony derived sense of humo(u)r, but I rather think that was an attempt at levity by the submitter, what? yes this is british humour. the russians are also known for dark humour, and vodka, of course.
That's why we should tax consumption and not production. Instead of reporting your earnings, you should report your spending. If you live a life of luxury, you should pay high taxes. If you make twice as much money as Bill Gates and live a modest life, you should pay low taxes. in the uk we have VAT (value added tax, currently +17.5%). so if you live a life of luxury 17.5% of your spendings is tax.
i personally prefer to raise money (due to high levels of dust in my own pockets) through sporting activities, such as running events. many tycoons donate to charities long before they get to monopoly size. the donations should be mandatory before people become tycoons. no one can possibly argue that they deserve to be that wealthy. it's unreasonable.
CSI is the *worst* program on the TV for anything forensic related. If you forensics something better in the UK such as postmortem, murder detectives and the like is far better to find out how people are killed in their own homes.

your comment should be +3 funny... comments that make fun at porn should be modded up.. always great to read
so... is this going to merge with the realdoll project?
Why doesn't this get a more prominent mention on the /., freshmeat and osdn sites? it's for a good OS cause.
