Oh, and to advance the slides on the page, use this ugly hack:
so = new SWFObject(getPathForSlide(0), "slides", "100%", "100%", "7"); so.write("slideArea");
Do this in the javascript console of your browser or with the "javascript:" pseudo-protocol in the address bar. Change the 0 to 1 or 2 or 3 or whatever slide you want.
A little javascript-fu reveals that the video player points to a file (at http://flv.thruhere.net/presentations/09-sep-JVMperformance.flv) on some poor guy's machine through a dynamic DNS service! I hope somebody grabbed a copy before he (or slashdot) took his server down.

What happens if someone downloads Firefox and gets sued because of the patented codecs? I don't think Mozilla wants headlines saying...
It's things like this that make me wonder if it's a good idea to front a free project with a real-world rights-owning corporation that's responsible and can be sued. Mozilla's petty squabbling over their control of the Firefox name and logo is already ridiculous enough. Let's not start making less-than-ideal decisions for our software because we're worried about how it will affect The Project.
Remember this gem? It was judged that getting on the bad side of financial institutions by offering an option for non honoring the annoying "autocomplete=off" attribute that breaks the password manager half the time (even when your wallet is encrypted) is bad for the project.
If Firefox (or any Gecko/Mozilla-based product), is to succeed, it needs the support of major sites that end-users are going to use. If banks, etc, blacklist gecko, then those users are forced, likely, back to IE (or an older version of Firefox, etc) which isn't a situation we want to create at all.
I don't care if firefox succeeds, while I do care about whether a basic option is present in my most-used piece of software.
How could they find that particular device? If you don't have it associated with a cell provider account then it's not associated with your name in any way. It's just a MAC address connected to a wifi network behind a NAT.
You're right to worry about 911 though. When you're connected to E911, all security bets are off. Manufacturers of phones for the US are required by law to make sure that a connected E911 operator has access to the cell phone's location, either by some weird cell triangulation or by GPS. I wouldn't be surprised if this part is buried deep into the hard-coded closed-source part of Android.
Every time a defendant does anything in an RIAA trial, slashdot has to report it? He's already sentenced, it's over. This is just more general bleating about how unfair the award is. There's no reason Tenenbaum would get special treatment.. high damages paid to the RIAA have already held up in court and been denied further appeal..
what politician wants to seem like they support blasphemy

Myths About Code Comments

Woooo, business programming. Believe it or not, there are a few applications out there that require performance and cleverness rather than strict convention. I think that a myth of software development is that every line of code should always be simple and easy to understand. Sometimes things are complicated, especially in performance applications.
My statement was accurate. If you want the client to view the content then it has to have a key or a reproducable method of obtaining the key externally (network, smartcard reader) in the source code.
Slashdot Mirror
Are you seriously suggesting looking at the branding on the About screen as a way to verify you have genuine Mozilla software?
If you're downloading it from mozilla.org then it's a real Mozilla product. Branding doesn't mean anything.
9 and 10 don't exist, just go on to 11
You have to make sure it returns void or the browser will display the return value. Wrap the javascript in the void() function like
javascript:void(paula = "Brillant");

You've done it! Interested slashdotters can download the video file at this link:

Good detective work, partner!
You have to admit it's pretty nice to have the presentation slides automatically display and advance below the video as you watch..

Yeah I'm sure google keeps the certificate for their most important subdomain on Chinese soil
Might as well scoop up the mod points if someone's going to get them. This, moron.
from TFA:
"It's not Google leaving China, it's China leaving the world."
Maybe the actual result will be blocked, but the thumbnail is hosted by Google.
Or yahoo/google already cleans up auto-reply spamming.
Or this problem does exist with yahoo, gmail, and AOL.
Covered it exactly. TFA is just plagiarized from cnet.
Yep, still there.

This seems to be bare-minimum luxury though.
Honestly? At retail this pillow was selling for $5 before Christmas. How can you pay $640 per month and only get rice husks to sleep on?
Yeah, if our unemployment ever got way up around 5.2%, we'd have to resort to this kind of thing.

No that's a rotate, not a simple shift. Or do you mean shifts into the carry flag?
Well it is. Sure you lose the LSB but you lose the MSB on multiplication..

A broken mess of modules distributed inconsistently is the quickest way to kill my interest in a platform...
