But seriously, Google is the egg head capital of the valley. If anyone is capable of making a DRM system that isn't crackable it'll be these guys. So how long till we see it cracked? I say no more than a week. Anyone wan running a pool?
Either they developed something truly ingenious or they are pragmatic and created something that is almost designed to be hacked in no time.
We have these already since a few years at our university. They replaced all our urinals with such urimats. I guess we received the very first models of urimats and in the first year, the odeur was all but prevented to develop. But now there is really almost no odeur at all, even in a hot summer. At least less odeur than with a conventional urinal.
And you start to see these urimats everywhere, but not yet at home, of course. Or do you have a urinal at home?:)
Issue: safe_mode is a feature in PHP that checks whether files to be opened or included have the same GID/UID as the starting script. This can cause many problems, for example if an application generates a cache file, it will do this with the user ID that belongs to the web server (usually "nobody"). As an application is usually uploaded by the user belonging to the web account (say "client") the scripts can no longer open the files that the application. The same problems happen when for example an application generates an image.
Discussion: As safe_mode is a name that gives the wrong signals as making PHP safe, we all agreed that we should remove this function. It can never be made totally safe as there will always be ways to circumvent safe_mode through libraries. This kind of functionality also better belongs in the web server or other security scheme. open_basedir is a feature that we will keep, and we will point users to this functionality in the error message that is thrown when we detect this setting on start-up.
Conclusions:
We remove the safe_mode feature from PHP.
We throw an E_CORE_ERROR when starting PHP and when we detect the safe_mode setting.
Finally!! Take that you silly "security experts" who insist on using PHP safe_mode and putting down all "alternatives" aka really secure environments.:)

G2 has nothing like spam redirects or such things built-in. Search the source...
Users who have reported "weird" redirects (you may be the third), always had a misconfigured webserver, which made their Firefox use the built-in (FF) google "I feel lucky" feature. So if you give your webserver a weird name and misconfigure the webserver, you end up on a I feel lucky hit from google for that search term.
These transmission rates were achieved using new experimental methods of multiplexing.
This is referring to spatial multiplexing, which is one of the possible ways to exploit the potential of MIMO systems. True, MIMO wireless communication systems aren't very established yet, but they are anything but new or experimental. IEEE 802.11n will be based on MIMO, so the technology has left the "experimental" stage already a few years ago.
Sure, there's still a lot of research in MIMO wireless communication, it's one of the hottest topics, but it's not new or experimental anymore.
Other users already pointed out that you probably can't say that Drupal is the leading open-source CMS. It's one of several leading FOSS PHP CMS products, along with typo3 the upcoming xaraya and a few others.
Then there are all the Java-based CMS', which are not used by the masses because they are usually a little more resource hungry and your next shared webhosting plan doesn't include server side Java applications support.
And forget about *nuke like portals (I wouldn't call them CMS). They play in another league.
cmsmatrix.org gives a nice overview. And if you are interested in PHP-based products, you can test a lot of them on this site.
I suppose I'm missing what the big deal is about this issue. I understand that Verisign has a lock on the.net TLD but the company is really no different than any other business: what they can get away with is directly regulated by what people are willing to pay.
Nope, there's no alternative to Verisign if you need.net domains, it's a monopoly.
Just think of all existing.net domains. A lot of websites are bound to their.net domain name. If Verisign decided to charge more and more for.net domains, you have the choice between losing a lot of bookmarks, your well known domain name, your page rank etc. and just paying what Verisign charges.
Either let more than a single company manange and sell.net domains or regulate the price. Free marker vs. regulation. But don't give a single company the monopoly and let them charge whatever they want at the same time.
The DNS is hierarchical, so the ICANN could decide that Verisign manages the.net server, but other companies can sell.net domains too, and the ICANN should then at least regulate what the other companies have to pay for the license to sell.net domains.
the solution is php-fastcgi+suExec.
fastcgi and not cgi, because cgi is too slow, especially for shared webhosting. suExex is used to run each php instance under the corresponding account's user.
You don't need a perl replacement for Gallery.
Choose G2 (Gallery 2), you will notice that it's a whole new application. It has no code in common with Gallery 1. And all inputs are checked thorougly.
It's the cleanest PHP code I've ever seen. No spaghetti code. See: G2 Development Guidelines. (G2 is almost finished, it's in its last beta cycle)
But why is gnome so behind KDE?
Does someone have an explanation?
The number of students per project is more or less proportional to the number of applications a specific project received. Some projects received a lot more applications than others. The only exception is google itself. They have received a lot more applications than the number of their students indicates. I guess they wanted to give (other) F/OSS projects priority.
So, to answer your question. Either KDE is a lot more popular than GNOME amongst students or KDE did a better job attracting students for its Summer of Code tasks.
And, lets not forget that each mentoring project needs human resources to actually mentor the students.
Yes but he predicts so much crap of course he'll be right eventually.
This prediction was in March 18th 2003. He was right about the move away from Motorola. But he didn't even mention IBM in his article. And as the date of such a change, he predicted something like And consider the fall 2003 possibility: Comdex.
So he was wrong, Apple moved from Motorola to IBM chips. But maybe, he will be right in the end, if, and only if Apple chooses to introduce Intel based platforms.
That to say: I don't like John C. Dvorak either. He's just good for much ado about nothing.
Doesn't Linux handle HT the same way it handles SMP? So even if there was a hole in HT, hardware-wise, software wise you would be just as protected as you would be on an SMP system?
If you follow the article link you see that it only mentions *BSD and SCO unix variants. Not a word about linux or windows or any other x86 based OS.
I guess we will have to wait for his final paper which should be available in +12 hours or something like that.
Seems like he spent considerable time on this issue and he is unemployed. If you read his website, you probably come also to the conclusion that he sees this as an opportunity to get paid for his volunteer work. This/. announcement for his paper that will be available in a few hours can be seen as a great advertisement for his own work (no offence).
He could also have contacted AMD to get a little funding as they didn't jump on the HT train:)
take a look at the source code of Gallery 2
http://gallery.sf.net/ read the coding guidelines, patterns etc. and then come back and report if you'd still say that it's php and not the coder that is the origin of all these php prejudices.
there are other reasons why most php scripts end up being spaghetti code.
What people don't like is change in the landscape. Once the change happens and they get used to it, nobody complains anymore.
True! When I first was in Oakland (SF), CA, and saw how the power cables were routed from roof to roof in the residential area, I thought to myself how ugly this was.
Back to Zurich, Switzerland, the first thing I noticed were our power lines for the trams which are also all over the city.
Funny how you can be used to such things and slight variations attract so much attention.
The CGI looks amazingly good and pretty much everything else seems quite professional too. The acting is probably on par with Hayden Christensen in Episode 2, i.e. mostly not very pleasing.
But I wouldn't only blame the actors, so many extraordinarily good actors played quite bad in the Star Wars movies. Go figure...
Disclaimer: I've never said that Hayden Christensen is a good actor!!:)

Regex Coach
This program assists you building regular expressions. I've never used it (real men code regexp at once and it works). But some friends recommend it.
