For example, if you have "www.test.example.com" and "test.example.com" that both alias to the "test site", then your authentication cookies are usually based on the domain, so any crossing over (which my boss does all the time) would appear to make him logout. To address this, we put some mod_rewrite stuff in on each site that either explicitly makes sure the www. is there or explicitly removes it, with a redirect.
If you're on DreamHost, they'll even do all this for you, if you choose the correct settings while setting up your domain.
On Android it's called Locale, but my experience has been that you really have to setup time periods for it to be the most effective. To accurately detect location, it claims you need to have network location, Wifi, and GPS turned on. These are the kinds of things I'd like to control the "on and off" values of based on location, so it's not terribly useful to say "while I'm within X meters of office, turn off GPS and sound".
I usually describe it as "Viral". It sinks its grimy teeth deep into your system settings and requires someone with at least some technical understanding to change that. (Disable the tray icon, not take over all media files, etc.)
So you don't have faith that everything can be neatly bottled up and explained? Isn't that what science is? Sounds to me like the basis of everything we ever do is faith in something.
Not really arguing for or against intelligent design; just throwing that out there.
Which is exactly why there ought to be legislation of some kind to prohibit the kind of thinking that makes American businesses not required to obey the Constitution when it doesn't involve dealings on American soil. American soil or not, the business operates in America, where such rights are supposedly "protected".
But they need to hire a user interface designer that's completely devoid of web design work. I feel like I'm using a poorly designed "Killer Web 2.0 Application" when I try to navigate the Opera preferences screens. The browser underneath all that is fantastic, but the UI is a deal-breaker for me.
That reminds me of a comment I saw here on Slashdot once... Something about telling Japan that we discovered giant lizards and school girls on Mars, and they'd be up there within the year. (We'll just ignore the fact that they'd be pretty pissed that Godzilla and the school girls were a li...err, I mean, they're really there!):)
Not to mention the fact that the flash binary for Linux is quite annoyingly buggy and resource-hogging (as if the great pig Firefox wasn't hogging enough already).
On the other hand, I'm not saying Leopard was a bad switch. Time machine was amazingly wonderful (saved my butt a few times), but it was a pain to get it to work with something besides Apple's own remote backup solutions. Leopard added some nice features that were (arguably) worth the slowdowns, but in general, Mac OS just doesn't quite cut it for me. Every Mac fanboy I talk to tells me how "amazing" XCode is, but every time I use it, it feels outdated and crufty. Oh well.
I've got a first generation Macbook, and I saw slowdowns when I upgraded to Leopard... Snow Leopard is supposedly the answer to all that, but I'm not sure I want to spend the $30 on a maybe, for an operating system that's very visually pleasing, but doesn't do what I need. I think I'll just stick to Linux, even though it's still got a few compatibility problems.

What do you mean, "was once" ?
Somebody mod these guys "Funny" for taking it so far. Good show!
Get lost, and come back when you have something intelligent to say!
You must be new here.
This can create problems as well, though.

They take it to a doctor, because science and medicine work
This is still having faith in the ability of the doctor. We need to use more discriminatory words than "faith", I think.
Faith is meaningless for science.

It's funny how you add "(I bike to work.)" as if that makes it less weird. :)

There was one that gave us "Anonymous Cowardon" for a while, but that was mostly a CSS problem.
My first thought was Comcast. How depressing.
I feel like I just died a little bit inside. Such a vivid image...

BLOAT. Firefox is "the great hog". Why would we want to add MORE? Yes, I love it, but that doesn't change the fact that Firefox is a pig.
Finally, the comment I was looking for, since I was too lazy to look up his picture.

Just give average joe an anonymous alias, and he can easily become "evil".

How fitting.

Sounds like a phone to me... "Look at me! LOOK AT ME!"

If one has postal service, one can continue to get physical copies... Just stating the obvious.
I've seen the video I'm headed for frequently flash on the screen before Flashblock takes it out (Gentoo Linux here).
