Where can I easily get a list of foreign IP blocks? I'd like to add something like that to my webserver to stop a lot of comment spam I get, but I can't seem to find a list of IPs.
It'd be one thing if I could have IE 6 and IE 7 installed on the same install of Windows so that I could run them side-by-side. Then I could test stuff in IE 7 but still do the bulk of my Internet browsing with IE 6 which (theoretically) doesn't have these flaws.
Of course, in reality, I use Firefox for everything, so it's a moot point for me, but nevertheless it doesn't make sense to me that someone would release a beta product and have it install over top of a production product.
I'm not opposed to the filmmakers receiving the compensation they should for their product. I purchase movies all the time. I'm just pointing out that downloading the movie isn't stealing anything. It's copyright infringement and should be regarded and discussed as such. Using the wrong terminology causes misinterpretation and clouds the issue.
Create new profile for Firefox 1.0 (I named mine profile.1.0
Close all firefox instances
Restore Firefox 1.0 profile to profile.1.0
Setup two shortcuts
The first is called Firefox 1.0 and runs the following: C:\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe -p profile.1.0
The second is called Firefox 1.5b and runs the following: C:\Program Files\Firefox 1.5b\firefox.exe -p profile
Now you have the beta with its own profile that you can test with, and your old 1.0 profile still accessible with the 1.0 software in case you need it.
Meanwhile, owners who actually paid Apple to repair a battery in one of the players will be entitled to up to half of that cost back.
Between this and the "$50 credit," does this seem like it's not really that great a deal for the people that were impacted by these defective batteries? I mean, aren't they still losing money because of a defective product?
The change has already affected/.! The front page said the story was posted, but the story itself thought it wasn't! This is just the beginning of the chaos this change will inflict!!!
Does no one find bitching about a beta a little less than productive?
While a review on a website probably doesn't accomplish this, the whole point to a beta is to get user input on bugs and other criticisms so that the end product is improved from what the engineers originally thought was a good idea.
So thanks to my janitor keys, I managed to liberate an old 20-liter spring water container from behind some disused florescent fixtures in an ancient storeroom in one of the social sciences buildings
...with a sign on the door saying, "Beware of the Leopard"?
That reminds me of the time the local LUG I belong to decided to see how far we could stretch a wireless mesh network in the business complex. Someone working in one of the warehouses saw a bunch of people walking around with laptops at night and got nervous.
Two cop cars showed up about halfway into it. You could see it in their faces when they pulled up. "Oh, this is just some geek meeting, nothing to worry about here.":)

I hope you're not the one who advised Lex to run AOL.
Brilliant attitude. Then nothing is ever improved. Whining--or, more accurately, constructive criticism--leads to positive change if it's listened to.
Watch what you say, he might be here lurking and signing the very contract. He has a crazynickname.
Actually, I thought Wil's nickname here was less crazy and more clever.
>>open source isn't worth crap if it can't be redistributed
:P
>BSD's seem to be doing just fine.
Not according to Netcraft.
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

That's awesome. I'm gonna have to give that a try at home next chance I get. Thanks for the tip!

Hardly. I'd NEVER pay to see these movies, but I might download them for free out of curiosity. Either way, no money goes from my pockets to theirs.
Actually, it's a reference to a character I played in a production of "Frantic Family Vacation" back in 1998.
they can't develop a web page worth a crud...
:)
They probably spent all of their website design budget on this slashvertisement.
- Backup Firefox profile
- Install Firefox 1.5b into a different program folder
- Start Firefox 1.5b and go through normal profile upgrade steps
- Start Firefox 1.5b profile manager (C:\Program Files\Firefox 1.5b\firefox.exe -profilemanager)
- Create new profile for Firefox 1.0 (I named mine profile.1.0
- Close all firefox instances
- Restore Firefox 1.0 profile to profile.1.0
- Setup two shortcuts

Half of spam sent is trying to achieve that effect (okay and infect you with spayware and other creepy crawlies.)
I've got the creepy crawlies just thinking about what spayware could do to a person.

Sorry man. It's been 50 minutes and no one's spoken up to support your position. Looks like 821733 is the loneliest number on /. today. :)
Interesting; the article I read has that site listed third as "Official Cascading Style Sheets Level 2 Specification."

Man, I wish I hadn't already spent my modpoints. I'd mod you up to compensate for the mod who obviously didn't get the joke.

Well, that's not "not letting me in" so much as it is "page looks like shit because of a combination of old /. code and a race condition in Firefox". :)
