Doesn't the Java EULA reserve most of its uppercase letters for a section that says "DON'T DO NUCLEAR PARTICLE PHYSICS IN JAVA"? Or was that just the java notice in the windows one?
Yeah, it's a shame the dozen or so developers involved don't have fifty years to waste seeking out every five-hit-per-month blog on the internet looking for user opinions, isn't it?
I can assure you, no one is working harder to piss off the Mozilla dev team than its ungrateful, freeloading user base.
Put up a page listing the top 1-3% of bandwidth-using IP addresses or some other anonymous identifier. Send out a notice to all the customers -- in their next bill so they can't say they didn't see it -- drawing attention to that list, and tell them that from next month there'll be a bandwidth cap set at (list/2)GB. Give customers the choice of either accepting the bandwidth cap, or having their name and phone number made public on that list if they get into it. The problem will solve itself.
I second this. Lighttpd + Postgres takes about 10-20 minutes to set up and config in Ubuntu, and I've had less bugs with it - Ubuntu's mod_php seems to throw a fit with my PHP code even though it's not using any nonstandard stuff.
You don't have to miss IE's screwed up box model - the useful parts of it are likely to go into CSS3. You can still use them right now if you want to, at least they're properly labelled as nonstandard this time.
I find it interesting that VIA is doing this so fast when previously they were more or less silent. Did you go to VIA first, or did they come to you? Either way, did it take a lot of effort to convince the other side?
You know what? Your network traffic's already being monitored by any number of silent entities. Almost all of them are doing it for the single purpose of trying to fuck you over. Google is only doing it to spam users with more accurately-targeted ads, and quite frankly when it's compared with the former I have no problem with them doing it.
I'm not sure what you were trying to demonstrate with that link - maybe that the assumption that every OS will have 100px "Times" installed is completely wrong? The page is broken in X11.
The only half-competent GUI I know of for MySQL is phpMyAdmin, but on the positive side, if you're trying to convince someone it's like using Microsoft that might be just what you need...
Here. This is basically a ramdisk with lzo (or something; I'm too lazy to check) to be used as swap space.
The neat thing about doing it this way is that you can just set vm.swappiness=100 and let the kernel juggle stuff between fast and slow areas however it thinks best. It automatically resizes the ramdisk to whatever size it needs. I think I've seen something that does compression on the disk cache too - that might be better but it all depends on usage patterns.
Unless someone _really_ can't spare the horizontal size of one CD jewel case, this isn't worth even £150. The ALIX beats the crap out of those specs for less, and more importantly (we are commenting on a slashvertisement for a splog, after all) it has a nicer looking box.
That was probably a mistake. Even 20 years ago there were multiple-gigabyte single drives available - I came across a few in the trash a few years ago but the date of manufacture was still legible on the cover.

The best way to fix P2P lusers is peer pressure.

And both those points are becoming irrelevant, now that Windows Vista supports read/write UDF. FAT32 is only holding on through inertia.
They've only stated this chip will only run windows. They say nothing about running it at tolerable speed.
Their current chip sounds a lot like the 0.6ghz neutered Pentium 3 currently running my eee701. Which is equally as current.
US patents aren't enforcable in other countries, no matter how much the US government threatens to "liberate" them.
This thing has enough resolution to pick out your head, all the better to see you with when it gets the laser upgrade

Did windows suddenly lose the ability to share loaded DLLs between running apps now? Or did it never have it?
If browsers ignoring standards made the standards pointless... well...
Does _your_ browser support HTML 4.01 fully? Really? Even the SGML parsing rules and align= on table columns? <script defer>?

Call me old-fashioned, but I'm still using NiMH cells for most of my stuff. Forget standard charger cables, what they need are standard Li-ion cells.

If an attacker can sniff your login password during an SSH connection, you're already fucked anyway.

I dunno... Intel maybe? They haven't made x86-opcode hardware in years now.
So... it can double as a cryogenic preservative?
Actually, there is justice here. Maybe you meant to say _there_?

These used to be actual barriers, but now that we're measuring most things in 64 bits it doesn't really mean anything.
