Yeah, it's kinda like meeting a girl, having at best poor sex, catching VD and all she can do to say sorry is to offer you another round at bat. No thanks but how about paying my medical bill?
I thought the government was only allowed to redact documents obtained under the FOIA to preserve national security.
I once saw a page that had every word redacted including the preprinted form descriptions. The only thing visable were the preprinted lines of the form (and I don't think I should've even seen that). =)
Coral cache (http://coralcdn.org/) with mod_expires to tweak the cache time and adjust length for high traffic times and mod_rewrite to drive everyone but Coral servers to the Coral cache. Not perfect but it could keep an otherwise dead site to appear alive for an extra day or so. Add in it's completely free, doesn't alter your pages and the only limits are a max single file size is ~35M and a daily bandwidth cap at 250G it's not a bad way to go.
The question is would this take enough heat off of Blue Security to keep going?
He also talks about how he found information about anti-gravity, UFO technology, free energy and how UFOs are regularly airbrushed out from high-resolution satellite images."
He forgot about UPC labels and the ZIP+4 system (which is really a secret relocation program). Just pray they never use it. =)
the differences between BSD - style "open source" licenses and gpl style "open source" licenses is huge.
(insert opinion here)
So very true. Personally, as much as I love the GPL, I think it should be released under a BSD or MIT style license and let someone fork it to GPL. The GPL people win from the BSD code that is released and the BSD coders win since they can sell limited amounts of their finished product.

It's an offline, indexed database; interesting but hardly newsworthy. So unless they've broken the Shannon limit there's nothing more here than IPO fodder.
IMO mod up because the parent's point highlights that embedded GNU/Linux might not be in a toaster or mircowave but it is in many newer designed, networked embedded products also like my Nokia 770 (damn dead screen - out for repairs), my router and my Linksys NSLU2. The embedded market already has some excellent OSs like QNX (which is in my six year old 3com Audrey that still gets used everyday) and can go for years without crashing so it's not surprising that the switch is going slowly. It will grow but I think there will always be a market for other OS. The "right tool for the right job" rubish and all that.
I consult for a small company that had a problem with an employee IMing all day. The rule (with my recommendation) was "IM/IRC/browse all you want so long as it doesn't effect your work". Well, she would IM almost constantly and rarely did her job. Solution: we signed her up with AIM/gmail accounts specific to work, logged all text (we use gaim) and told her she couldn't use any other IM accounts or clients. In a month they'd review her work and decide to either: return full IM services (with logging only on the company account), keep the restricted account or kick her to the curb.
After reviewing the logs for the month of probation we found the idea worked well for the first four days and then she added in her own IM accounts. While I could've made it tough for her to make any changes to GAIM I didn't because I refuse to treat adults like a forth grader. She was told that her IM sessions would be reviewed and not to add or remove any IM accounts, which she did, so she was fired.
The problem highlighted a possible future issue and we decided to require all employees to use a company related IM account just for company business. If they want to conduct personal IM conversations at work then they can use whatever other client they want. If an employee's performance is a problem and personal net access is high then they are put on "restricted access" for a month. So far the restricted access use has worked well and no one else has been fired for excesive personal net usage.
Moral of the story: Management needs to treat their employees like adults and not like children, let them use the net (IM, ssh, irc and most any web site since the only filtering we do is with prioxy) for personal tasks and work with those that don't follow the rules. So far everyone is fine with the rule because it is reasonable, allows for liberal personal net use and not draconian like most places. The only really strict rule is if you download and share any pron at work you're gone (to avoid an expensive sexual harassment suit).
Complete "no personal Internet use" rules just pisses people off and they will almost always find a way around it. Banning personal net access for minor abuses is like banning coffee because someone left an empty pot on a hot burner or a lunch room refrigerator because some people steal other peoples' lunches.

Using both licenses can benefit all.
The Ninga == Yogi Berra, is there really a difference? =)
Windows ME. Clearly, IMO, the clear winner.
Wow, that's a first. I guess a broken clock can be right twice a day. =)
Pretty soon if you're convicted of a IP violation you'll become ineligible for federally backed student loans. Same type of war, different players.

It should read "Linux to Real Networks - drop DRM or Die." Any bets on who will be around longer?
Ok, that wins. Somewhere there's a book of just Post headlines.
As a child of the '70s I found that drugs lead to gaming so there! =)
IMO Gore sucks too. While I think the GOP has a lock on "most evil" the Democrats aren't far behind.
If we had only used that method in choose the current US President ...

I'm guessing in most XP boxes disguised as a botnet client? Kinda redefines the phrase "intel inside". =)
You forget to make various threats to the UN and end your posting with "Screw Flanders. Screw Flanders. Screw Flanders."
