What's with that? When i install a fresh Firefox, that is the first thing I install, but now, when I thinka about it, I can't seem to remember the last time I looked at it
My useful favourites though:
Download Statusbar (Puts the downloading at the bottom, showing %, kbps and eta)
FlashBlock (removes that awful 100% load in windows on flash-rich sites)
Google Toolbar (of course! + it got spell check!)
Movies and Music Search (all music and imdb search at a glance!)
PDF Download (if Adobe did things right, this extension would be dead)
This probably the best programming contest there is.
Seriously. Obfuscated code!
Though I have though about how the writing process is. Do they like first write then program, then try to obfuscate the code. I can't be very easy to write a complex (well more or less) program directly obfuscated. "Oh, I got a seg fault.That must be because the code reads "}[fa) not "}[fb) as it should read!"
To me it looks like it's not the VoIP systems stability that is on trial (even though this should be a big issue), but more like the ability to trace a call. Not only is the lack of physical tracing bad in case of an emergency, but it's a potential security risk as well.
One of the only ways I can imagine this getting fixed is if the ISP supplies the VoIP provider with an physical location for it's IP. That being said, that would again pose further security issues, so it might not be such a good idea to begin with.
I was doing some maintaining on my Linux computer, logged in as root so that I would have suffice access.
What I _meant_ to do was to delete everything in the folder I was in. Pretty sure of myself added an -f flag so that i wouldn't have to answer yes to a bunch of questions. So then.. ready to delete I did a quick rm -Rf ./
I know I didn't have to have the last slash, but what i tried to write was "./". See what a small space can do? It didn't take too long before i figured out what I had done, seeing that it suddenly took several seconds. I did a quick Ctrl+C, but it was already to late. It had wiped out almost my entire/lib dir, and seeing that I didn't have _that_ much of important data, I just did a reinstall.
Long story short: Think twice before you flag f boys and girls!
I know tfa says that it will be efficient, but does that take the cost into perspective? It's not unusual to hear about a new idea that is totally ground braking in several fields, then the research on the commercial fades out, because they find out that it's too pricey. A lot of products was that way in the beginning. Just look at LCD screens etc.
Well. That being said. This sound awesome, I'd like to see it developed...
I know what you mean. It seems like a lot of ISP tries to find out what service hugs the biggest amount of bandwidth, then finds out if it can be used to illegal activities in any ways (such as file sharing etc), then blocks it.
I'm not saying that people won't be using their server for illegal activities, it's just that there's (still) a bunch of legal things to do with open ports.
Luckily for me, over here in Norway, we're pretty much let to ourselves. It's more like a need to know basis here. If you can figure out how to configure your firewall, you will be able to use what service you want. If you don't figure it out, it's probably a good idea to not give you unfiltered connection to the net.
I've done a few tests of printers over the years, and I must say that the lines in circle is a damn good way to see the accuracy of the printer....at least when you look at the effort you have to go through...
You wan't see much about color accuray etc, seeing that all colors when you see them in the context of the other colors pretty much looks perfect. To get an test that does that, I would guess you would need an hardware color-pick-thingy.
Slashdot Mirror
Well. He should have changed it to:
Nobody [that is either] under 30 [or have played GTA Vice City] is going to get that one.
Sorry. You probably belong in the real world.
Here at slashdot we take pride in laughing at things we are not supposed to be laughing at.
That cow going "WTF" was obviously a huge nerd.
*drool*

Saw it myself..
Thanks for making me not turn insane!
So yes. I think. So that would. So be good.
My guess is that they want to tell it, not yell it.
...even though they should at least try.
All your base are belong to us?

I see... So that's what it takes!
Note to self:
- Buy cardboard
- Buy pen
- Notify press
Don't know what tfa is about, but it sure must be important when slashdot hosts the images on their own server!

Good luck

It seems to me that the big thing about this (and it looks awesome!) is the desktop manager.
What I would love to see is my already configured non-alpha Linux set up with the Mezzo desktop manager.
Beautiful.. Just beautiful! :D
Yeah.. You're right. I'm wrong :D The only-ssh options is real neat. Just got it installed and up'n running. Works like a charm!
You sure you got the latest python installed?
Thanks for the tip. I was kinda looking for this. Not actually looking though, but it was some place back in my head.
At a glance it looks like just the program one would need if you're experiencing malicious ssh-logins.
This is useless for people running a web-service that is supposed to accept connections for pretty much anyone though (seeing that it blocks IP's).
And besides this, everything's good you say?
What can I say. If you bought a $4000 printer and it still sucked, wouldn't you run to /. and cry for help?
