It has been widly know that IE, Firefox, and others all behave differently when it comes to CSS compliance/compatibility. Since new incompatabilities are found every day, how will microsoft respond to these incompatibilities? Will it be possible to get updates weekly to address these issues for us developers that like to play by the rules of CSS and HTML and prefer strict mode vs quirky?
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesnt this go against most privacy concerns. I mean opera will phone home every time you go to a website to make sure that the address in the bar is the same as the IP that you were directed to. Couldnt this then mean that they would be logging this in a database somewhere. This would then give them the ability to know where every opera user is at any given time.
Then if the DOJ wanted to they could suppenna Opera's database and track every website you went to. This seems like foul play here, or am I too parinoid?
This is not about violating Copyrights. Google is saying that yahoo and MSN have legal rights to these books and so should we. It says in the article "According to filings in U.S. District Court in New York, Google wants Yahoo and Microsoft to provide descriptions of their projects,as well as documents that show they have legal rights to the books that are included in the project".
All google wants is a fair chance at being able to scan those books that Yahoo and Microsoft have already gotten permission for. We are not talking about violating Copyrights. Who knows. This may turn into a new form of discrimination where publishers can say "we dont like you so No you cant use my books....but we like this guy" Personally, I say if you make it open to one....you must make it open to all.
It clearly says there will be a $600 configuration and a $500 configuration.
....wheres that damn phone

Ok, cool. Now my watch will tell me what time it is and whos calling, but that still doesnt tell me where I put my damn phone. Now only if I could press a button and my headset picked the call up....then I wouldnt have to find that damn phone.
never mind...found it. the phone found its way under my nail again. Ah the good old days of a phone as big as a brick....they were never hard to find.
Doesnt moores law state speed will double every 18 months? Lets see. We have 2 cores now. 4 in 18 months, 8 in 36 months, 16 in 52 months, 32 in 68 months.....wait a min. 5 years is 60 months. Are they going to go faster than moores law. I doubt it.
Lets wait and see, but I think this is just an empty promise.
"Microsoft would not be doing anything wrong"
Actually they are. The users of Zune would have no control over this DRM protection and therefore can not turn it off. It is microsofts responsibility to enable users to turn it off. Sharing CC work is not illegal. Its putting DRM around a CC work that is illegal. CC's PURPOSE is to share music, writtings, and other content as long as you share it under the same license and always give credit where credit is due.
Microsoft is in the wrong here and if they release Zune with this they will be sued for millions.
I thought red-hat was commercial. I'm glad they are using linux but I always thought that Red-Hat wasnt free. Wouldnt debian or FreeBSD or something else be more "off the shelf" and wouldnt it also saved them some doh?
Leave it to the government to spend extra money where they dont need too.
And you find that the google www.google.com/u/gplus doesnt work now. I'll say one thing. They sure are quick. Now they should just put those search results in an IFRAME that you cant change like the adsense code.
People always are looking for new ways to get user/pass from unsuspecting users. The internet is used to hurt the ignorant. I just hope I wont fall into such a good looking trap.
<SCRIPT> var ip = new java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost(); var ipStr = new java.lang.String(ip); document.writeln(ipStr.subs tring(ipStr.indexOf("/")+1)); </SCRIPT>
So how exactly was my privacy protected? For one thing, news sites weren't able to show me ads based on what I'd read previously. And since my IP address changed frequently, e-commerce sites and search engines couldn't correlate my many searches with a single IP address.

This is not true as javascripts can read your normal IP address. It can even get your local IP address. Except I've noticed that if you setup a local webserver and set that webservers IP address to 127.0.0.1 then the javascript just shows 127.0.0.1. Seems to work.
What I dont get is why we need to be worried about cookies, IP address tracking and such. So what if I can figure out what IP you came from. That doesnt tell me your name or your home address. The only need for annoimity that I see would be if you are looking at things that are illegal, or you want to bypass your work/school firewall. Other than that.....why does it really matter?
Tracking your IP can help you and web developers. It tells them what is popular, where you came from, and how you went around in the site. It tells them if you even saw some of the pages and how you got to those pages. Ads specific to your IP are also better for advertisers. Tracking helps you by targeting information to you based on your activitys and this makes you happier. So Tracking is good
It would be cool if your character could get a job in this game.
Next time check out the classifieds before you speak.
They need a way to buy guns in the game so you can mug people.
There are places in the community that you can do this.
It is a full on world with sex, guns, money, power, and plenty of stupidity. Its fun. As far as hardware. Seems to run fine on my P4E 3.0Ghtz ATI 9800Pro 1Gig ram
what? So they are building computers for you and letting you use them for whatever you desire? Hmm. 0.10/hr thats $2.40/day. Thats $876/year. Not a bad deal. Heck its even cheaper than some website services that give you a dedicated server for $200/month.
I ask because I thought there was already a story in the news how at defcon they hacked a passport ID system.
This article tells about it. I mean if yu want something secure, your going to have to do betther than a chip. And in order for it to be really effective, everyone must replace their drivers license with the new passport. Otherwise you will give hackers 10 years to make a really effective fake.
The interface was very easy to use. I'm impressed. Google spreadsheets didnt impress me this much as writely does. Publish, others can edit it, save as PDF....damn its beautiful. I have no complaints. Heck, now I can use this for work to create PDF documents for my co-workers to follow. Yay for Google.....maybe powerpoint competitor next?
like fiber. Verizon is doing fiber. Why cant the cable companies. They already send the data through a fiber cable to the main cable box for the block, whats an extra few hundred feet. (I know this because in Henderson, NV Cox has done this to the neighboorhoods). It may not be done for every city, but there is no reason it cant be.
To answer a post above, Satelite is not the answer. Its costly, bandwidth limiting, and has a long delay. I would never get satelite internet and if cable went that route, they would have less internet customers. Imagine playing CS at 500ms pings. ew...dialup all over again....
Fiber is the way to go. Just run some DWDM fiber and life will be good.
IBM doesnt want AIX to be open source.
One open-source operating system is plenty, though, so there would be no point to making AIX open-source, IBM's Handy said. "There's room for a proprietary one and an open one. Once one is open, you don't need any more," he said.
See...they only want linux to be open source. Not AIX. IBM has nothing to annouce.
IBM is afraid to make their code open source because it could "take the processors in a different direction". What a load of bull. There is no reason that the open source community would make the power pc's not backward or forward compatible. You just have to tell them what direction you are going so that they community can adjust. I applaud Sun for starting to open its OS, and for it opening up Java.
"Snoddy, a manager at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, has been removing valves and other parts from Apollo exhibits as he oversees construction of the upper-stage engine on the new moon rocket, dubbed Ares 1."
Cool, so maybe we can have a cheaper shuttle to the moon. Who knows, maybe with using old tech we can setup a tourist information center on the moon, and give guided tours of the craters. Ah...that will be the day, when a normal joe can touch/stand on the moon.

This sure sounds a lot like romming profiles on windows. You can correct me if I'm wrong, but thats just my take on it.

yesterday. Wasnt another article like this one on /. yesterday talking about the 80 cores?

Its google's issue because they are HOSTING it. If they werent hosting the code, then fine. But they are and thats where the problem lies.
And you find that the google www.google.com/u/gplus doesnt work now. I'll say one thing. They sure are quick. Now they should just put those search results in an IFRAME that you cant change like the adsense code.

Either you are running a web server....or you didnt host the file on a website....either way it works in most cases.

They were banned in several school districts. Maybe not by the whole country but these books have been banned before in different parts of the USA.
