I must ask - where did you go to high-school where locking the door meant something was safe from being broken in to? That had better be a steel-reinforced door with some serious locks, and the room should have no windows (or at least protective steel bars on the windows - and no pun was intended here, honestly).
I would think it would obviously benefit all authors of browser software to collaborate on a single set of servers for querying for phising sites. Of course, there's probably caveats I haven't thought of, but hey, I just figured it'd be in everybody's best interest, competitor or not.
What concerns me is how many companies would respond to this. Unforuntately, the threat for IM viruses brought on a corporate IM client at a company I formerly worked for (and I enjoyed working for them immensely). While I admit it was good that you always knew how you could instant message someone within the company, they were planning on eventually blocking all other IM clients. This moved surprised me, however, as I used other IM clients to communicate with my primary contacts who were employed by our client. This was essential to me since our group focused on working for clients all over the U.S. remotely. The same could happen with web browsing should this occur, unfortunately. If they are unable to deter outbound these connections easily (which woud be the case if it were on port 80), they will likely try to filter as much as possible as a deterrent. We already know how limiting such proxying and filtering can be - it would be a real pain to have to deal with that on a regular basis.
...will be a bunch of panzy asses at this rate! Will parents stop their kids from helping their father work on the car as a learning experience because they might get hurt? Will they not allow them to use computers and watch any TV at all because it might hurt their eyes? For that matter, maybe they should stop them from reading their textbooks for too long beause it too causes eye strain. What a bunch of fools! Kids need to get hurt to learn. I couldn't imagine life without getting hurt. I broke bones, dislocated joints, strained ligaments, and have been knocked out a couple of times, and I still function quite well if I must say so myself. While I agree the parents may want to avoid serious injuries like I got as a kid (I've been to the ER 11 times and have had 2 ambulance trips in 23 years (most of the ER trips were for XRays though)), what the heck is wrong with a bruise, cut, or the occasional freak accident where a collar-bone is broken by a baseball bat or something along those lines. Loosen up a little and let your kid learn the hard way some times, geeze!

I think you need to stop blaming your career for your divorce and do a little more soul searching.
I agree to an extent - the career alone certainly isn't to blame. The key is setting the right level of expectations with your loved ones, being there when it really counts, and also making sure your significant other is understanding of your career *before* you get married. I am happily married, and I tend to work long hours and work even more in the evenings right after I've gotten home and eaten dinner. Thankfully, my wife is very understanding and supportive of my career and my work ethic. Fact is, I'm in this career because I'm doing what I love to do every day - she was always understanding of that as our relationship grew. Likewise, I respect her career choice and work ethic, and our understanding has always been and should always be mutual.
What "normal user" would want to compile the code for *everything* he or she wants to run, or for that matter, even knows what he/she wants to run in a Linux distro? Gentoo, by nature, requires a level of knowledge that is well above that of an average user's. The way I read it was that the Gentoo LiveCD "sissified" using Gentoo, as it didn't require a learning curve.
Furthermore, I must point out that it should have only taken him 10 days if he was running a 486 and tried to compile KDE and other GUI applications. As several have stated here, RTFM and you'll be fine when installing Gentoo. The installation guide literally takes you through step-by-step and does a great job of holding your hand.
To me, it sounds like this guy falls into the "normal user" category and complained than Gentoo didn't fit his needs. Of course, SuSe, Ubuntu, FedoraCore, and many other distro's do, which he also clearly expresses here.
This might be redundant, but I would have to suggest that as soon as one could drive. In Florida, you may be issued a drivers license as soon as 16 years of age. Certainly, if you're driving to and from school and/or work, you should probably have at least something for those emergencies (like if your car strands you).
If the GPL alone made it so that software no could no longer fit in with a business model, the business has only two options: 1. change the business model, 2. find something that fits the business model. My guess is that the latter is most common. Let's take tivo for example. If the GPL3 condems their practices, and we assume it is not an option for them to simply use source that falls under the previous GPL, then what would they do? I agree with provisions to protect against DRM in many if not most cases, but how do such provisions safely provide a means to protect against this while still offering enough flexibility to fit business needs similar to Tivo? It's not easy to fit niche needs of business and government - especially when niche seems to be the norm.
I use AIM all teh time and I nvr make ne misteaks. I catch everyting and keep myself from mispelling when I talk about software enchantments and righting custom functinos with my fiends and co-workers.;-)
To answer #3, it will depend on the WYSIWYG editor, but I tried it out with FCKEditor (www.fckeditor.net) and the spell checker does underline the misspelled word, but does is not able to show me the context menu since the editor handles that itself. In short, DHTML editors are likely to work, but obviously editors that are implemented via Java applets will not.
Also, I noticed the first suggestion for FCKEditor is auditoriums, which seems strange to say the least.
...That's what this idiot deserves; a person yelling "WAH!" right in his face as loud as possible. Why? Simple: he is just another idiot who has no clue as to what he is doing and has the audacity to complain about it.
Yes, CSS has its flaws, many if not most of which revolve around the lack of good support in the most popular browser, IE6. However, these challenges are actually quite easy deal with provided one has an intimate knowledge, of XHTML, CSS 2.1, and all those little quirks when designing your code to support multiple browsers.
What really makes me livid is the complaints about "deconstructing" already created style sheets. Why is this so difficult to do sometimes? That's quite simple: people generally don't spend time organizing and commenting their CSS. If you develop a site, and your CSS is well organized and well commented, then you won't have any questions about what the CSS is there for. Also, though I'm sure this is redundant his complaint about cascading is flat out stupid. Should I instead have to spend weeks specifying CSS for every nested object in a page, or even better, using inline markup on the page that if it were to need to be updated later would need to be updated on each and every page? Personally, I'll gladly deal with specificity than dealing with that kind of mess any day.
It should be safe to assume that approximately 80% of Microsoft's employees who use the Linux-based wireless network will be using Google for their searches.
