Unless the RSS requests your login credentials, it can't offer anything specialized.
The benefit of publishing the RSS feed, for large sites, is that it's largely static, undifferentiated, and doesn't chew up massive CPU when it gets hammered like mad by autorefreshing clients. That would go out the window if they made it login-able (pardon the mangled english).
I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice - I've been surprised by items in the RSS feed too - but I never expected the RSS to be personalized like my login session is.
While Coral may have helped with this (mirrordot wouldn't, due to the linkages), you talk as if they're crashing things _intentionally_.
That's certainly not the case. In addition there's no real way to externally test how a site will do before it goes up on the main page, all you have available is a trial by fire.
Sure, you could ask the admins, but 99% will say "Hell yeah, my box is kickass and so's my programming, I'll have no problem" while they actually have no idea how bad it could get.
It just shows how dedicated he is to Gonzo Doctoring.
I think that's when you perform open-heart surgery on a fifth of scotch with acid chasers, while speeding down the freeway on the top of a semi trailer.
The point of these is to give a wider variety of responses.
If all you have is lethal options, then all you can do is kill people. Killing is easy - nonlethal options are harder and more specific to the circumstances of the engagement, so it requires more of them.
You could simply have it avoid the "select from rating group" method the GP was referring to if it sees vastly unbalanced rating group sizes (at least, at the high end... since the rating 1 would hardly ever get played, it wouldn't matter much if there was only 1 of them).
So access points shouldn't be sold in stores then, but only to accredited wifi installers?
That's what it would take to be certain that those installing them had the smarts to do it safely. Most of these non-secured AP's are installed by the same person that uses them.
It just makes the sperm currently being produced less effective. Go back to boxers, and you're fine within a 'production cycle' which I think is something like 30 or 45 days.
I doubt soldiers in a warzone are particularly interested in maintaining maximum fertility.
I was intrigued to find in some of my Grandfather's WW2 service manuals, little tags of paper, glued at the left edge.
"What's this?" I asked.
"A revision, of course."
So simple, so effective, yet so few do it anymore.
One of the few places that I've seen still do it is a roleplaying company, of all things - Kenzer & Company, makers of Hackmaster. They published in their comics a series of errata, perfectly sized to cover the amended section, in the same font et al, so you could update your rulebooks without having to buy brand new ones.
This book teaches people how to tune the things that they see are bottlenecking via monitoring software.
From your posts, you just want a list of items to set for a given "type" of server, completely overlooking the fact that tuning is much more related to the workload of a given box than just what broad type of workload it fits in to.
I just don't understand why computers impair decisionmaking so much.
It's also a mystery as to why they impair reading skills to such a high degree.
This article is not about the college years. It's not even about late high school. It's about buying a laptop for your kid when they still have eight to ten years of schooling left.
When you're talking about eight to ten years of use, then you're either going to be completely replacing the laptop, or upgrading a PC. That's why upgrading is a concern.
Even in the post you quoted, it's clear that upgrading isn't the concern once college is reached. Go back and reread it, he said very clearly:
upgrade it occassionally until the kid gets to high school or college and needs (or wants) a laptop
Sounds like it's a small, squat cylinder type cell, looks like a miniature version of a D or C cell?
If that's the case, and it's equivalent to a Duracell DL123A, then you can get two of them out of a Duracell DL223A, which is a 6V lithium and much more common. In general, the DL223A is just two 123A's inside a plastic casing. Cut it open, and you have your batteries.
It doesn't matter if you believe that machine=>your identity (or rather, connection=>your identity) is valid.
It matters from the point of view of your ISP, because they're the ones that will make the call on yanking it... and every AUP I've seen says "you're responsible for traffic over your connection", although usually in ten times as many words.

Ah, that's actually a really good benefit, thanks for pointing it out. I'll have to ponder if the RSS leakage is annoying enough to pony up or not.

Hey, wait a minute, maybe that's the whole point to bringing Zonk on, it's a subscription booster!

It is a foregone conclusion that the climate is changing.
It's ALWAYS changing. The degree and the cause are the subject of debate, not if it is or isn't.

Amazingly, you can replace "Venezuela" with "The United States" and everything ends up just as correct.
Only philistines adulterate their coffee with sugar or milk or cream.
Uh, no.
Sea levels would stay the same.
The surface level in the Arctic would drop to sea level, rather than being slightly above it as it is now.

I've been reading their PigeonRank page too much, because I read this as handled by local carrier pigeons.

Anyone who doesn't catch the inherent parody in
They have fought the War on Drugs with skill
clearly shouldn't be allowed online without a minder.
The most concise (and thus, less accurate) definition I've seen is simply "an infectious idea".

It doesn't cause permanent damage.

"Cheap PC" and "Gaming PC" are complete opposites, unless you want to play games that are three years old.
;)
In which case, you may as well have a Mac for gaming.
I was wondering about that myself. It almost seems like he's being paid per objection.

Stupid question time - are you only punching in the model numbers, or are you adding clarifying words like "manual", "review", or "experience"?
I think he's poorly stated that there's only a certain area of the site that needs to be, or is classified as highly secure.
The rest of it isn't classified secure, because you can see it easily from the ground, or from legal air routes.
The airlines.
