  1. Re:Excelent Idea! on Debian FreeBSD Distro? · · Score: 1
    There is nothing better then debian when it comes to package management and keeping your system free. Its proably the only reason I don't use fbsd now, I hate ports!

    (Assuming that 'fbsd' == FreeBSD.) Well, that's why FreeBSD also offers packages. One is given the choice to build from source (ports), or to install binaries (packages).

  2. Re:The Netcraft Web Server Survey on Amazon.com switches to Apache · · Score: 1

    I guess Apache needs an "Web hosting for Dummies"-book as it's more a rule than exception that IIS-sites are run by dummies.

    Well, there are always exceptions. I run Apache because I think it's fairly easy to set up. And many who know me would consider me to be part of the "dummy" category. But if I can download and install mod_perl, then nearly anyone can. Though I may be a dummy, I can read instructions.

  3. It's not always the websites's fault... on The Battle That Could Lose Us The War · · Score: 1

    Sometimes, Netscape crashes or otherwise fails to render pages correctly because of it's own non-compliance with web standards. Case in point: try designing a web page using CSS. An interesting article about this is at A List Apart.

    I guess a lot of people are waiting for-- and hoping for-- Mozilla, for a lot of different reasons.

  4. Re:Ah well. on Mars Orbiter Lost Over Metric Conversion Error · · Score: 1
    But has anyone thought about how a ridiculously bureaucratic organisation such as NASA can implement these changes before the sun runs out of fuel?

    Easy. Make further funding for NASA contingent upon them being able to change to metric. And all that takes is the cooperation of Congress.

    Oh. (realizing what I've said) Nevermind.
