I just noticed on one the Technocrat's Slashdot problems-related forums a response from Micheal Sims (michael@slashdot.org), in which he confirms that "Slashdot has been under DDOS attack for the last 24 hours or so." Why isn't this information being posted on Slashdot itself?

You're quite right, there is no way to view a page without creating a copy of it on your local machine, either by cache or just in the RAM until you move on to another page. Such a restriction would be unfeasible in today's net, and would render all on-line communications illegal.
I was fairly suprised to only now see this get posted on Slashdot, since this is happening on a daily basis in Israel (where Cell Phones are very popular and ~75% of the population has one of those dammed things...). The companies can pin-point a specific # (the exact resolution of this varies depending on the amount and power of near-by antennaes and on the geographical position of the requested phone), and often do, on the request of the Police/Army (they don't even demand a warren or some sort of court order to do so!). This can be done whenever your Phone is operating (whether or not you actually talk in it), and was used several times in order to locate and capture criminals (and even a lost solider, recently), but can be easily be misused in malicious ways and is a serious danger to the Right for Privacy of all customers.
As stated earlier, this sounds pretty crazy to me - not using a computer (in an active or a passive way) in today's modern countries is simply non-feasible, unless he goes out to the country and start practicing Agriculture with his bare hands...
Any lawyers out there that could clarify this issue?? Can he write code on a piece of paper, have someone scan it in for him and give him the compilation output? Can he use machinery that has a built-in CPU in it? (Coke Machines/ATMs/Cars...)
Strikes me as kind of odd to read that "in excess of 50% of the staff working on the project was using Seamonkey to do more than half of their browsing and e-communicating" - if my math is correct then only ~25% of on-line activities Netscape workers do, are with Mozilla... Shouldn't they be the main guys using it on a regular daily basis ("dogfood" theory)? I mean, if they hardly use it, then why Jon X. Doe should?
Everyone who wishes to support this great project and to advocate Open-Source in general should:
Get Mozilla

Yes, the ICQ Homepage is truly an example of how NOT to create and maintain web pages: from its HUGE (atleast 400KB) front page that almost never updates, to its clumsy infrastructure and through its excessive graphics shananigans (can this be misspelled?), it is a mightmare to visit... Your second comment is also true, but i rather think that the ICQ developers do actually understand the meaning of the terms Alpha, Beta and Build, but acknowledge the quality of their product, and therefore keep it under the Beta label...
Is that most of those IMs are from the same companies:AIM && ICQ belong to AOL, Hotmail && MSIM belong to MS... I undesrstand if AOL wants to block out MS clients from its service (although i think it's a pretty stupid move...), but why shouldn't they allow their _own_ costumers to use all of their features? This is just plain odd to me, if the purpose is to have a large DB of users as possible, why seperate it into two??
I strongly urge all companies and public interest groups to act in order to enforce a single, safe(!!) and working protocol...
An additinal problem that originates in the move to dynamic, query-created, web pages, is that it makes Proxying obsolete. How will a Proxy server treat PHP/PHTML/PL/etc files? probably ignore them, or simply download them (which is worse...) If i load/. i get all of my slashboxes just the way i set them to appear, but if someone else will try to access/. from my LAN, the proxy will know that a whole different page (according to his prefs.) needs to be taken, and therefore will reget the entire HTML code... This also can't be solved in traditional methodes such as telling the proxy to refresh the page he has every X minutes, since every user demends a different page (either by query or by cookie prefs.).
I have given this subject some thought and came up with an idea:
Have the proxy store the cookies and then download the pages according to them: User access site via Proxy Server -> Proxy Server loads user Cookie file -> Server checks current stored page -> Server downloads requested page to a dedicated \user\site dir, if necessary -> Server updates latest Time of Page Load -> Server sends page to the user's browser. If this will be implemneted, Proxies will be much more efficient and could be used to further minimize banwidth load.
hehe... the thought of putting it in an enclosed circle and watching it go round and round or simply blinking the "Im in trouble, a kitty is tring to eat me!" LED simply makes me laugh...
BTW - Everyone got the video, it's funny as hell (3.5MB though)
Yes, this is true. many Palestinians died from these so-called "Rubber-Bullets", they are actually what is reffered to as "Full-Rubber-Jacket", which is a regular bullet covered with rubber. They cause extreme pain upon imapct and can lead to death if hit the head or a major blood vessil.
The act of using "Non-Leathel" weapons on civilians is considered more "Humane" and is very popular since it usually dose not cuase death, but "mere" injuries - This is ofcourse obsord, and worst of all - It gives the Police the idea that they are not really hurting the un-armed, un-protected protesters in front of them, just "Sparying them with spray and shooting rubber bullets at them", as if this is some kind of game where you just get messy colors all over your shirt, and not blood...

Oh my... couldn't have put it better myself - Are you saying that Capitalism is willing to convert all values and basic rights into solid money (two examples were shown here: Privacy and Ecology)?! Would you give up your Freedom of Speech (or any other Constitutional Right, for that matter) if you knew it would result in incresing your income? can everything be displayed in fiscal values and then converted??
I believe not. I believe there are some basic human qualities that simply can not be exchanged into physical entities, and are given to us for the very fact that we are Human...
The act of giving up your right for Privacy is like giving up your right for Freedom of Speech, and that is one thing im not giving up so easily.

Art is by no means a tool to make the majority happy, content or pleased, it's sole purpose is to reflect upon us the mind and soul of it's creator, thus giving us a different prespective to our own. If the day that art quality will be valued upon it's popularity will came, we should all be worried for the sake of our society...
Suprisingly enough - the only decent art piece chosen as most popular was the web one... and possibly Holland's as well
