How about the Acid2 test? Does it improve on it's performance in that area? With browsers like Safari and Konquerer passing it, are there any real efforts at Mozilla to get some standard compliance in that area?
Insert witty comment regarding/.'s propensity for duplication (linking to yesterday's story), comment of subscribers value for money, and finally finishing with another witty comment
Checkinstall is a great app that can build and install.deb,.rpm and slackware packages. I personally use it on ubuntu so source-compiled apps can be managed using apt-get
To use, go the usual ./configure
make
then (as root) checkinstall
Well, the iron on Mars is actually quite cold. While it is correct to say that there is iron on Mars (the red colour is caused by iron oxide on the surface), it is certainly not hot.
The daytime SURFACE temperature is about 80 F during rare summer days, to -200 F at the poles in winter. The AIR temperature, however, rarely gets much above 32 F.
Remember when you first install firefox, there was this shing RSS bookmark with 'Latest Headlines' and pointing to the BBC news pages?
Anyone considered that, maybe, that might have influenced the results? Having a default bookmark as the page of the study? You wouldnt take browser results from MSN.com or whatever IE's default home page is.
Nevermind me though, I just suggested that a pro-Firefox poll might be biased. Karma be dammed!
Dr. Marshall worked for my dad while he was in Perth. My father said that he was not especially brilliant, although competent - but he was extremely hard-working. Perhaps this is why he did get the Nobel Prize.
Hate to be Captain Obvious, but IBM/= Open Source. Sure, it has made many contributions to OSS, but to say Oracle integration with IBM is a move to support OSS is a logical fallacy.
This is not a troll. If IBM wants to become an OSS company - they should open up their programs - especially DB2. It is a nightmare to use that in collaboration with Samba, LDAP etc.
So who do I see as OSS companies? Red Hat and Novell are my 2 big ones.
Another issue is authenticity: what's to stop someone in the year 2050 from inserting some new records and claiming they were from 2005?
Hashing the data? It's already widely used.
I know that MD5 has it's issues (recent discoveries of collisions etc.) but SHA-1 and other methods should be enough to ensure authenticity. A 128 bit hash has a minuscle size compared to the data, and is probably secure enough - but maybe not. Maybe that's why Lockheed has 308 million - to solve these problems.
AN important point is that Windows OS is not necessarily at fault for the difficulty faced. Linux or the current babe of/. , OSX, would possibly just be as hard to administrate as a Windows environment.
Apache has only limited support for Windows, but still, Apache is a bitch to configure for any platform. And ORACLE? Look, Oracle is a problem in itself. But adding Apache, Windows, UNIX hardware, and then expecting a proprietary software solution (D.C. Stars) to perform is not Windows fault.
Windows is a lot of things. It is slow, it is insecure, but it cannot be blamed for errors in an untested software solution running on a proprietary DB solution with a webserver that does not support the Windows platform.
*nix zealots - thats the truth. I use Ubuntu at home, but i can appreciate a falllacy when I see one.

Had to do it.

I have an iRiver H320, and it is one of the only 20GB players that has a radio. I can tell you this - it is a great addition. I use it all the time.
