Yahoo's Buggy IMAP Server Affects iPhone Too->

Submitted by suraj.sun
suraj.sun writes "Maybe Yahoo should have done their homework a little bit more before accusing Microsoft for the data leakage problems on Windows Phone 7. Upon reading the accusations, Rafael Rivera took it upon himself to prove that it did occur on other platforms, the iPhone in this case.

He ran a similar test with the help of a friend’s iPhone and got a similar result whereby the Yahoo servers returned more data than requested. So much for it being a WP7 problem only.

Ex-FCC head would have appealed neutrality ruling ->

Submitted by alphadogg
alphadogg writes "Former Federal Communications Chairman Kevin Martin Wednesday said he still believes the FCC had the legal authority to enforce network neutrality rules and that he would have appealed a court decision last year that ruled otherwise.

Speaking after his keynote question-and-answer session at this week's ITExpo conference in Miami, Martin said that the FCC's 2008 order telling Comcast to stop throttling peer-to-peer protocols was on solid legal footing.

Martin said that while the FCC under current chairman Julius Genachowski did not appeal the court's decision, its adoption of more watered-down net neutrality rules will likely have the same effect since it has already sparked lawsuits from carriers such as Verizon and MetroPCS. In other words, the FCC will have to re-litigate the net neutrality fight whether it wants to or not since any rules that it adopts are going to be fiercely challenged."

You're correct that Eisenhower lead the largest amphibious invasion in World War II. Less well known, however, is that the allied amphibious assault of Sicily (Operation Husky) was larger than the Normandy landings (Operation Overlord). Operation Husky consisted of seven allied divisions; D-day consisted of five allied divisions.

Yea, I just finished my military history final two hours ago :)

Indeed "traditional" agriculture as you call it works in a lot of areas. In many areas of the west where we are dependent on irrigation, they don't work so well at all. And the very fact that commodity prices are so low pretty much prohibits more costly, organic, ways of doing things. I've been following organic farming for some time. I have yet to see how I can implement it on the scale I need to to stay in business. This is the catch-22 of modern agriculture. We need the scale we have (in fact we need to increase it dramatically), but at the same time we have to be environmentally friendly. We depend on the environment for our livelihood, indeed for our very lives.

I am an interested customer.

Tell me, do the laser cannons automatically come with the packaged shark/s? I have had problems assembling parts in these kind of situations before, so it would also be nice to know if the shark comes pre-attached to the laser, or if any soldering is required.

Its been stated before in interviews with NVIDIA developers that their drivers do share a common code base between all platforms. And as much as i would like to see their own 100% open source driver, I do understand there is likely licensing issues that prohibits that, as well as competitive concerns in releasing the source.
Mostly however I hope they keep their promise of 'not helping but nor hindering' the Nouveau project (I mean obviously more on the nor hindering part) Plus I how they would be of any gain by trying to hinder? other than causing a bad relations shit storm amongst the already divided opinions.
As for Noveau, it seems from my own and other experiences from Arch Linux forums that its as good as if not better than the xorg-nv driver anyway.
Seems they win mostly by not having to spend any development time on it.
