Yes, the very first chapter written for this book (back on Drupal 5 at the time) was one on Organic Groups which covered the access control aspects in-depth. Unfortunately, due to our book schedule vs. Drupal 6's contributed module release cycle, we had to chop this one.:( I'm hoping that if we end up doing a second edition of the book for Drupal 7, we can add this chapter back in.
This seems like a pretty important thing to leave out. One of the biggest reasons why people use a CMS is to have authenticated logins and to have the ability to limit content to a limited set of authenticated users. It seems to me if I had to choose between that chapter and one of the more oddball case studies, maybe I'd probably cut the case study, but that's just me.
Admittedly, when I built my wife's computer, I spent more on the fancy blue-lighted fans than I did on the memory./me hangs head in shame, holds out geek card
It's just you. The RIAA hasn't realized anything of the nature, whether true or not. What the RIAA has> realized is that the lawsuits are ineffective (duh, big surprise, dumbasses) and that there are less costly and probably more effective ways of dealing with copyright infringement, such as pushing the responsibility over to the ISPs.
As I've said before, I think the RIAA has discovered a way to either force or at least entice ISPs to do their bidding.
I'm not in the loop on this, but here's the entirety of what I think
1) P2P has, most recently and very publicly, become a headache for high speed Internet providers. P2P traffic taxes their infrastructure, so they make moves to block or at least limit it, including everything from additional charges through routing changes, to downright packet manipulation.
2) RIAA has a different reason for disliking P2P. But they see that the ISPs have a common enemy here: P2P.
3) The only remaining question is -- where to go from here? P2P is prevalent enough and has enough legitimate uses that the ISPs don't want to outright cancel customers, but they also don't want customers taxing their infrastructure to the max.
How do RIAA and the ISPs team up in this regard? It's a good question. I think we're seeing the beginning of the end of network neutrality.
Have 8 GB of RAM? It'll use the unallocated memory to cache programs.
That's great except other OSes do this too, including Linux and OS X. Unfortunately, since Windows Vista has a brain-damaged task scheduler, the implementation isn't nearly as it is on those other OSes.
defrag your disk (if your disk is also idle.)
Only brain-damaged filesystems need to be defragged (FAT32, NTFS)
Don't forget e-mail! And cellphones! The 9/11 hijackers used e-mail and cellphones to communicate! I hear some cellphones can do both. Does that mean that the Blackberry is the epitome of all evil?
LCD -- liquid crystal display -- sets use 43% more electricity, on average, than conventional tube TVs; larger models use proportionately more.
A same-sized LCD will use about the same as or less than a CRT with full backlight. If you lower the brightness on the backlight by half, you save proportionately.
Where they get this idea that LCDs use more power is that most people upgrading from CRT to LCD buy a bigger screen.

Not really. Phenylpropanolamine causes hemorrhagic stroke -- aka bleeding in the brain. That's why it's "hard to come by these days."
I don't know about adding that auto-meltdown feature. Sounds like a product liability issue.
What the hell is a Jiggawatt?

Cloud?! Will the marketroids PLEASE stop referring to the Internet and everything else in it as a 'cloud'!
Thank you. That is all.
Looks like a great project to do with very small children in a garage full of oily rags.
Yep. This way you don't need to go out and get a bag of charcoal. I also recommend the use of a stick.
Crunchy. Mmmm....
Wha? *deer in headlights look*
Prophetic, nothin'! I am SOOOO tagging this article 'diekdawsondie'!

Or, more importantly, his Slashdot account? Maybe the editors could sell it on eBay and donate the proceeds to his memorial fund!
Never mind about the memory vs. the lights ... the important question is: did you get any that night?

What exactly did you do with DOS anyway??

Here you go.
You might also want to take note that mullets and parachute pants are no longer cool.
Hint: You can plug any USB keyboard into any Mac (including MacBooks) with a USB port.
I recommend this one, which has 2 downstream USB ports on it, but YMMV.

Don't believe everything you hear from a talking gecko. My browser has a gecko, and it's putting falsehoods on my screen all the time.

Worst....joke....evar!! But for some reason, this REALLY made me laugh!
Also, Open Source does not neccisarily mean Linux.
Surely there are no other open source operating systems other than Linux!!
Oh noes!!! LAMP is DYING!!!
