I therefore consider it sad to fully disable it, but - lucky me - Firefox's Noscript extension allows me to whitelist JS on a per-site basis.
Along with some other privacy extensions such as Adblock, Flashblock, Objection, Cookie Culler and Cookie Button it really eases my browsing and feeling of security (and much reduces common annoyances)
[url=http://basic.mozdev.org/cookiebutton/]Cookie Button[/url] works like wonder for that:
Set default behavior at session cookies only (or even refuse all), put the cookie button in your interface then when you're on a website on which you want to keep your cookies just click the button and select "Accept cookies from ***" instead of "Accept sessions cookies" or "Reject cookies"
The BitTorrent protocol is fairly worthless, technically-speaking.
Swarming is actually pretty fucking efficient technically speaking, but not for every type of P2P. Swarming is a very good tool for flash downloads, when the number of peers on a file increases very fast then decreases slowly (or not at all). While the regular P2P protocols start choking when the number of requests for a file gets higher, BT strives for these situations, for they're the ones who allow the swarm as a whole to get the highest levels of bandwidth.
Basically, Server 2003 is a much stripped down WXP Server (or maybe Advanced Server).
It's Windows 2000 Server/AS with the (somewhat) useful Windows XP features. And a lot of configuration work to do, too (you can barely browse with the base W2k3 install, for example, and you can't download a single file, everything is blacklisted for security reasons).
Oh, and most of the game-oriented drivers you find in WXP have disappeared from W2k3.
Windows 2003 is a server OS, not a workstation one, and it really means it.
Dude public schools are totally designed to pump out law abiding citizens.
uh oh, no, US public schools may be but don't generalize
How many kids do you know who get kicked out of school for doing stupid stuff?? How many times have you seen insane rules enforced in public schools "can't wear a hat because gangs wear hats", "can't wear jeans because they scratch the desk", "can't bring a action figure hat has a tiny plastic gun because once we do that we are opening the door for anything", " can't take your own aspirin"
Can't decide between "never" and "absolutely never"
Dude, I explicitely stated that it's not "public schools" that suck, it's "american public schools" and that public schools work perfectly fine in most european countries...

The start of the problem is that most ISPs won't support FastCGI, and that's the primary way these other languages should be deployed on servers nowadays.
That, or mod_perl/mod_python style

Shame, that would be really fun, especially if we managed to create some sort of crappy sound out of the browser...

Why not introduce a peer review process by which a patent in a particular industry is reviewed by patent holders in the same industry? In this manner, a frivolous patent could be easily circumvented with a simple review request. A few hundred peers simply review the patent and then decide if it is legit.
Until they decide to cross-license their respective patents, accept their friend's patents propositions (all of them), work together to completely lock the software market and proceed to rape your ripe little virgin ass.
The thing is, you can't expect a society raised by public schools (the government) to question things like The Patriot Act. Remember, these are the same people who today overwhelmingly state that the government should have the authority to censor news papers and that the press has too much freedom and that they should even be required to recieve approval from the government before publishing all stories.
Why couldn't you?
There are public schools run by the various govts all over Europe and we still have the guts to tell our respective govts to go stuff themselves when we feel like it...
The issue isn't that schools are public, it's that the standards and teachings are fucked up, and that the people who should step in to make that shit stop (parents, teachers) are brainwashed enough to support it or not realize it (but... oh well... intelligent design rocks all the way doesn't it?)
Not only is this untrue, but it also doesn't go against GP in any way... (please do remember that, while the Sun moves towards the Leo constellation the constellation itself may very well move away from the sun...)
These are not sharings, you don't have to embed java applets or flash in your local computer browser while you more or less need them to be runnable in the web browser.
But these are hooks to the innards of the computer, or may be because of security issues indeed.
I'm not talking about gimping the browser, i'm talking about starting by separating the web browsing and the computer browsing, because the access levels of both tasks to the local machine are completely different. IE and windows explorer sharing most of their parts means that IE has access to things it doesn't need, but external attackers can still use. IE and windows explorer being basically the same program mean that IE is rooted deep into the OS itself, and therefore extremely dangerous, while it has no need to be that rooted in the OS. That's the very first step towards making IE a more or less secure browser.

And yes, to compute energy consumption (in kWh) you merely multiply the power drawn from the grid (in kW) by the consumption timeframe (in hours).
Therefore if a unit uses 50kW, it consumes 50KWh worth of energy.
Microsoft MVP is a Microsoft Most Valuable Professionnal.
Basically, these are guys who know more about MS products than the MS guys themselves, and are therefore much more helpful when you need advices&help.
You could probably build a Greasemonkey script to nuke every Dvorak story that appears on /.
A bit of DOM, some javascript, 15-30mn of your life for being freed of Dvorak for ever bro.
Javascript has uses from time to time.

Nah, it's a Flash function (Local Shared Objects) that behaves like cookies and can replace them. Lucky us, Firefox already has an extension to delete these suckers
Please also realize that Windows 2000 won't be allowed to run it \o/
