So post stats from somewhere else. At least I left a reference, as opposed to the parent which didn't leave a reference.
Why should I? You used w3school's stats to try to suggest that they represent an accurate view of what most people are using, not me. Most Web surfers are not represented by the profile of w3school visitors. That's your problem, not mine.
The stats at www.w3schools.com are not representative of what most people are using, they represent what Web developers and other technically inclined people are using. Think about who visits www.w3schools.com.
The reason "young people" are no longer excited about space exploration is that it is no longer exciting. Space has become a fairly routine and known thing where human interaction is concerned. Space exploration into the unknown frontier is conducted by machines not over weeks or months, but many many years. Any chance of sending Man beyond the Moon is many years away, if ever. It's just not that thrilling to sit around and wait.
We still have webmail in AMC, but only for "key personnel". But as to Admin accounts, the SDC does not prohibit that, so for you it must be an ACC or local rule. As the Organizational Computer Manager, I have an Admin account...
I'm sorry, I should have said, this is in AMC ( Air Mobility Command ) within the AIr Force. The rest of the Air Force may be the same, but I don't know that.
In order to prevent the loss of pass-keys to these machines (and the resulting loss of important information,) users will be required to keep a copy of the pass-key taped to the bottom of their computers.
The Air Force currently requires ( in addition to the use of a "Smart Card" plugged into the machine to gain access ) a 15 char password consisting of 3 caps, 3 lower, 3 numbers, and 3 special char ( the rest is up to the user ), no proper names, dictionary words, more than 3 letters or numbers in sequence ( back or forward ), must not be the same or simular to your last 25 passwords, and you must change it every 90 days.
The net result is that most people are writing it down and storing it in some easy to access place. Previously, we had an 8 char pass that required 2 caps, 2 lower, 2 special, 2 numbers... It was short enough that you could actually remember it.
Which makes the page 100% useless to all those who do not.
That's your choice. Since I and many many many many many many many others have no problem at all with Flash, we see it fine. If you want to see it, install Flash. It's your choice. It's all about choice, the freedom is in your hands to see it or not.
If a linux distro has a gcc installed by default (Hopefully the same one that was used to compile the kernel, cough, unlike redhat, cough), it chould be a sign that the distro may be bloated and a heavy weight.
More packages installed by default == more space used, more security vectors and more clutter.
I don't understand this kind of comment. We're not talking about embedded Linux here, it's probably a workstation where disk space and even RAM is not going to be an issue. Even with laptops built in the last few years, using up disk space with the OS is just *not* an issue. There are MANY good reasons to not install what you don't expect to use, but using up space on your workstation's HD is not one of them, the OS and its parts will still be a very small minority of the disk volume. In my opinion...
Before Mr. Wales expands his empire to cash in on search, maybe he ought to invest some development in improving Wikipedia's search feature wich is almost useless, one of the least useful search features I've ever seen. To search Wikipedia, I use Google.
But most people have a whole bunch of emotional/self-image stuff wrapped up in their choice of vehicle.
That may be so for a lot of people, and if all you want is transportation, more power to you. But, some people gain personal enjoyment from driving nice cars. There are some who put more value on a comfortable ride with all the bells and whistles.
I do remember how paranoid I was transferring my domains back in the late '90s.
I guess I have an issue with this whole thing of calling hackers "security researchers". It's just silly and 9 times out of 10 not an accurate description. I especially don't like freelance "security researchers" who take it upon themselves to hack other people's networks uninvited. It's a crime as ith should be. Blaw, blaw, blaw, yadda, yadda, yadda...
Server must be running on a box in someone's bedroom or something, 'cuz it's off line now... And what's with having the domain registered at NetSol? I guess pretentious "security researchers" need their domain registered with equally pretentious domain registrars... Oh yeah, we got some quality hackers, er, I mean "security researchers" here!
Why yes it is. Becoming more and more prevalent as a recognition that there are apparently a lot of people that willingly choose that trade. Look in the back of your local "alternative" weekly, and you'll find many many ads for "sex workers" willing to assist in your every kink. And, of course, not all prostitutes are "sex workers". For example the average CEO...
It would be refreshing to see the New York Times discover the FSF, opensource.org, EFF, and other sources of computing expertise.
Why? Aren't they biased, too? Maybe not in Microsoft or Oracle's pocket, but they have a definite point of view that should be taken into account as well.

idiot.

Are you on drugs? The FSF took people by storm? What people would these be? The choir?

All of those domains have been taken by squatters...
There is not enough technical info there to be useful to "nerds". It's for "PHBs".
Good question. It's available on publicly available web sites.

More nice "editing" from Slashdot "editors". Or are they bots?
You hit the nail on the head. Another fine job of "editing" from Slashdot, they didn't even check out the article!
It's in Wikipedia, so it must be so! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_worker
