We could raise money to teach him how to read. And then, maybe, we could send him to a school that will teach him how to read a full article, and apply basic cognitive skills before spewing all over slashdot.
Anyone with me?

This is simply good stewardship. One of the largest exchanges (actually not, Bitstamp, rather another ahem Magic: The Gathering Online Exchange site) had a rush of buy orders, so they decided to redeem an address they kept in cold, offline storage to meet demand.
This is a good thing(tm), as it means that there isn't any fractional deposit factoring going on.
Oracle is planning to sue the America's Cup team for violating their patents on "Boat API v1.0"... that'll teach them to build a boat using standard terms like hull, sail, and rudder!
Google Fiber has nothing on Chattanooga's epbFI footprint and speeds... this is the message I sent Ken:
Hi Ken,
I saw your latest blog post, and noticed that you included Google Fiber, but not EPBfi. Chattanooga's fiber network is much larger than Google's pilot, and as a customer, I know that I have never received anything less than your highest XL level stream.
Please extract statistics for epbfi.com and epbfi.net to show our statistics.
...is that most Certificate Authorities who have trusted certs in the major browsers / e-mail programs will NOT sign a certificate for any keysize greater than 1024 bits.
This artificial limitation is going to become more and more glaringly obvious as time goes on.
Before we committed our 3 racks of servers to a data center, one of our primary research factors was the availability of growth capacity for our data center.
To that end, we chose to host our servers in an Emeryville data center rather than the same provider's Sacramento data center.
They were able to contractually guarantee 5 more racks, and 100 more amps of power, giving us the room to grow.
You can buy cheap, but it ends up biting you in the butt. Make sure that you look at your long-term goals when deciding where to set up shop.
I first subscribed to QuantumLink in 1986 when I was 8 years old. Anyhoo, I was asked to join the "User Advisory Board." In exchange for 240 free "plus" minutes per month, I spent about 30 minutes in a People Connection room with several employees of QLink, one of whom had the screen name "SteveCase"
I wonder if they've reverse engineered Puzzler or Club Caribe...:-)
I've been so jealous of EverQuest 2's/pizza feature. I mean, why spend time developing a game and its content, when you can make completely worthless marketing deals?
Why someone would want to write their own shopping cart is beyond me... as someone who does just that full-time *cough*UltraCart*cough*, I can tell you that proper e-commerce implementation & security is hard. Even beyond the traditional web application security issues, running a shopping cart is like placing a large shooting target squarely on your website.
Also, usability is a large factor. Unless you're Jakob Nielsen, you are likely to overlook some design choices that will result in lost sales and lost opportunity. Unfortuantely, all too often the person writing the card is not the one that should be doing the site design.
If you don't want to spend the money for a hosted or installed cart, there are some free / OSS alternatives such as ZenCart or OSCommerce.
The bottom line is that most stores don't need the hassle, cost, and complexity of a custom cart solution. Remember to look at total cost of ownership.
I find MacOS X much more productive than Windows XP because:
Shared VM! Java applications under MacOS X use an implementation of shared libraries for Java. This lets me run my IDE, Aqua Data Studio, as well as my code analysis tools with a total memory footprint of about 128MB
True Unix Under the Hood: Since all of the applications I deploy end up on Linux, I have a much more accurate representation of that process under OSX than under XP
Fink! I can run all of my favorite Linux OSS applications with little or no effort, thanks to Fink. Under XP, I am mostly limited to those ported via Cygwin
Easy Maintenance: Under Windows XP, I am forced to constantly keep watch for Spyware / Adware, viruses, and other oddities. Under OSX, I simply use my computer, whether it's behind a firewall or directly connected to the Internet.
GUI Improvements: GUI improvements such as Exposé allow me to better manage my workspaces
I am far more productive under MacOS X than Windows XP. I also run Linux on my X86 box, but am not quite as productive since I spend a lot more time doing sysadmin and such than I do on the Mac.
One of the most telling factors is that I find myself trying to use my Exposé gestures on my X86 platform...:-)
Did you read the article? The student attached a Hardware keylogging device.
I don't know about your school, but when I was in High School, there were hundreds of students in and out of the lab per day... installing a hardware keylogger would be trivial during a class change.
Physical security is always an issue... no net admin can protect against every possible attack.

Growing up, we had Commodore 64s, Atari 800s, and Tandy Color Computers to interest us.
This would be, by far, the best money you could spend.

Applets may be "The Debil", but they also fill a need that can't be filled by Flash or HTML5.
Mozilla needs to get over themselves.

I use Blogger to manage my blog.
The fact that I know how to enter the necessary information for Blogger to SFTP to my server demonstrates that I am not seeking to link farm.
Bottom line? Educate bloggers on how to integrate with alternative service providers, and aschew blogspot hosted blogs.
The legit will rise to the top, and the rest will be safely ignored.

I would love to pay you a monthly fee, but alas, my Powerbook and it's Radeon 9700 are unsupported.
So why no Mac support? Any request to your tech support department is a canned response.
Their codec is an open-source standard called iLBC.
You can read more about it on the VoIP Info Wiki.

Anyway, any suggestions?
JNI, not JNDI.
Resin uses a custom JNI I/O library to increase performance. This component is not included in the GPL'ed version.
Both releases allow JNDI.
