Visiting Ghent (in Belgium) one time, Google maps told me to cross a bridge that didn't exist to get from the train station to my hotel. I did consider swimming, but instead spent 30minutes walk along the river to the next bridge.
I've always been a big fan of releasing my academic work under a BSD licence. My work is funded by the taxpayers, so I think the taxpayers should be able to do what they like with my software.
So I fully agree that all software should be released. It is not always enough to just publish a paper, but you should release your code so others can fully review the accuracy of your work.
This is the second time. On the first Google DNS article, and now here. I'm just trying to drive traffic to my blog. Don't worry, this time it seems to have worked so I'll stop my shameless advertising:)
I ran my own set of experiments benchmarking both Google DNS and OpenDNS as well as two UK ISPs. I showed more detailed results, and infer some information about how these systems are run.

I ran some tests against Google DNS and some other DNS providers to measure if Google DNS was actually faster than say OpenDNS, or my local ISP.
The results showed OpenDNS completely outperformed Google, but Google did do better than two local ISPs.
Read my blog entry about this.

I'd be curious to see a poll of how much slashdot readers earn. Then we'll know how many people actually find this new article interesting/useful.
I reported this to Google back in March, and then again in April. Neither times did I get a reply, so I tried posting it to bugtrap, that got no reply, so I posted it on my blog and on Slashdot. My comment on slashdot was voted down out of existence.... now the news is on the front page of Slashdot... grrr!
I just brought the album to see how it was encoded. It was in 160kbps CBR, and it appears to have been encoded with LAME 3.93 (which I think was released in 2002).
Now I'm sure the pirated copy will be 192kbps VBR encoded with a version of LAME released this year.
If I was more of a audiophile I might care more. Maybe the producers should have followed standard scene rules for releasing mp3s.

I'm curious to find out why GoDaddy switched from Apache to IIS?
Did you even look at the page? There is a 64bit version for Windows!
I've also found this annoying when reading papers. Perhaps I just spend too much time learning how to use gnuplot so that my graphs look nice.
hehe if only.

surely you need two fully working Stargates? One is kind of pointless.
You should code whatever you need. If you code something others need, you will either do it wrong, or get bored. Do what you know best.

If you offered them $40,000 I bet they could.
wow, Where are you? and how many hops (with traceroute) are you away from each server?

Nope, works great on any OS/browser with Flash

I think I found a information disclosure problem with Google Calendar, but after a trying to contact Google twice I have given up.
If anyone is interested please read: http://bramp.net/blog/google-calendar-exploit
and hopefully if this is a bug it can get passed on to Google.
Bad publicity will only hurt them if it reaches the media. Obviously this case has, but imagine the 100 of cases which didn't.

Has anyone considered that M$ might have the licences but the employee just used a keygen/serial for quickness sakes?
I don't know the legality, but is it legal to use a serial from a keygen if you already own the licence to the software?
I know of companies that buy 100 licences of windows, and use the same key on all 100 machines.
