    On some sites, increasing font sizes makes the entire page unreadable with text from one area of the page overlapping text on other areas of the page that it shouldn't be.

    Was it illegal to rip out commercials on an old tape and give it to a friend?

    Wouldn't it be a lot better if they would strip the HTML, graphics and leave plain unformatted text with hyperlinks, the words being compressed using a shared dictionary of the words in all pages?

    That is a great way to fit every blog on the planet on an 80 gig drive and have 79.9 more gigs to spare for other sites.

  10. Grace period? on Preventing Forum Spam-bots? · · Score: 1

    Maybe have a grace period between the time one registers and the time they are allowed to post or post replies?

    If you mean broadcast domain, you're wrong, at least in modern switched networks. If you can find someone still running on shared media (hubs) or unencrypted WLAN, then yes, all of the traffic is accessible. Otherwise, that RTP packet isn't going to appear at the switch port you're plugged into unless you have admin access to the switch

    Using ARP spoofing, you can sniff traffic of other machines on a switched network without needing admin access to the switch itself.

    Maybe it is because of the word America in AOL that people find it difficult to let go of AOL

    So, in other words, you are living at your job? Why even pay for an apartment or house? Just bring your bed and pillows to the job and you can save on a huge amount of gas money while being available 24/7 like any old good slave...uhm... hard worker would.

    And the truly paranoids execute said files in virtual instances (e.g. a junk VMWare session that'll be trashed immediately after that)

    That is assuming that VMWare doesn't have any security issues to worry about. Wouldn't the "truly paranoid" execute the said files on a separate machine that isn't connected to anything and then completely wipe the machine and reimage it from a known good image when they are done?

    Also, do any of you know any lossless algorithms for media (movies, images, music, etc)? Most algorithms perform poorly in this area, but I thought that perhaps there were some specifically designed for this.

    I know of one for music called FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec).
