  1. eBoy.com on Computer Art For a CS Dept Office? · · Score: 0

    I love Dali and Escher as much as the next, but if you don't want don't want to be boring, try one of these: http://hello.eboy.com/eboy/category/object/global-tags/pixorama/ . . . or one of these . . . http://hello.eboy.com/eboy/category/object/global-tags/ecity/ Instead of showing some ideal mathematical statement, these show some of the things that are possible with a computer science.

  2. Thanks Ray on RIAA's Throwing In the Towel Covered a Sucker Punch · · Score: 0

    Ray Beckerman, you're my hero. Thanks for all you've done.

  3. Easy on US Satellites Dodging Chinese Missile Debris · · Score: 0

    Just send some giant balls of really sticky goo with a few engines on it for maneuvering up there. Kinda like a space Roomba. They'd fly around consuming debris, then, when they're close to the end of their fuel supply, they'd fly into the sun.

  4. Name-based virtual hosting on Netcraft Says IIS Gaining on Apache · · Score: 0

    And, by what magic of the new HTTP 2.0 protocol are you running two different server software types on the same IP and on the same port? Is there a spec for HTTP 2.0? I've never even heard of 2.0, and I can't find anything about it on the W3C's website.

    Anyways, the Apache documentation explains how name-based virtual hosting uses an "Host" header in the HTTP request to determine which website to host. As long as "HTTP 2.0" still uses this header, then it shouldn't be a problem.

    For the lazy:

    IP-based virtual hosts use the IP address of the connection to determine the correct virtual host to serve. Therefore you need to have a separate IP address for each host. With name-based virtual hosting, the server relies on the client to report the hostname as part of the HTTP headers. Using this technique, many different hosts can share the same IP address.

  5. Why not . . . on Congress to Fight Piracy with Education Funds · · Score: 0, Redundant

    . . . use my tax dollars to help students buy music legally. There's already government subsidized meal plans, why not media plans? Taxpayers would still have to pay, but students, artists, and IT would benefit. PLUS, record labels would bitch less. Obviously, I'm being unrealistic . . . Anyways, I'd LOVE to see the government spend more money on education, but (as others have already stated) using tax dollars to protect a private industry is not what I want my tax dollars being used for.

  6. Re:Hate to say it on Microsoft's Vista AV Fails Certification · · Score: 1

    The iMac I'm on right now requires users to login using their own credentials, as does practically every other college-provided PC. While still a small percentage of the total PCs, there are still PLENTY of multi-user PCs out there.

  7. Re:Yes! on Another Small Step Before the Giant Leap · · Score: 1

    My thoughts exactly.

  8. For consumers? on How The Internet Works - With Tubes · · Score: 1

    Sorry if someone already said this, but I don't have time to read all the comments. What really bothered me is how much he mentioned "the consumer". Numerous times he says that the internet is "there for the consumer". Yeah, people buy stuff online, but there's a LOT more going on in that wacky thing they call the intarwe... internet. The net neutrality bill concerns tiered services and content providers. Content providers are NOT consumers -- they're companies. Maybe I'm misinformed (if so, someone tell me), but this guy doesn't have a clue. Sounds like he had too much vodka for breakfast.
