Kind of shocking the guys at Slashdot would miss something as big as this. Wonder if they're just too young and inexperienced to know about Woz.
(Yeah, I know they're not -- which means only temporary idiocy could explain them making that mistake!)
Access to the internet is not needed nor required.
I was getting this as early as 1991, right after I subscribed to the National Geographic and Scientific America, and was living in an oil rich country.
The scammers from Nigeria must have gotten the subscribers list and targeted likely countries.
What I got was plain letters by postal mail, very similar to the email scams today.
The internet just made it easier
The mistake is trying to use mod_php with a heavy PHP application, such as a a complex Drupal site, without a reverse proxy such as Varnish or nginx.
One trick I have been using for a few years is using Apache as a threaded server, with MPM Worker, and FastCGI but with fcgid, not mod_fastcgi. Works exceptionally well. For static files, Apache is now lightweight and does not use much RAM.
For details, see my article on Apache MPM Worker with fcgid.
I can confirm that ever since I switched to checking Twitter and Facebook (via TweetDeck) heavily on my Android phone (Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 then Arc), I have experienced wrist pain and numbness.
And yes, I spend a couple of hours daily, because I was following the news closely in a troubled part of the world.
Once I got those wrist cuffs that prevent the wrist joint from moving, the pain went away.
There is a project that provides scripting language capabilities for Android.
This means Python, Lua, Ruby, Perl and more

You've described it pretty well. One of their earliest cases was in Richmond, VA and I sat in to videotape a lot of the depositions. (That's how long it's been going on -- VHS and SVHS were still in use when they started suing everyone. That was around 2000-2001.)
They admitted in depositions they were in on the meetings when the standards were drawn up and had no reason for not objecting to designs that were supposedly theirs.
I have to admit, the Rambus lawyers were polite and easy to work with. The lawyers for the other company (a German firm) were mostly from one New York office and were just plain rude and nasty.
I remember one deposition in particular where there was a top memory expert giving testimony and they asked him about flip-flops and if they were memory. They (the Rambus lawyers) were trying to get him to say a flip-flop was a one bit memory and he kept saying, "Under certain conditions." The lawyer was stumped and started getting worse and worse (the only time I saw a Rambus lawyer start to get nasty) because he not only couldn't get him to give the answer they wanted, but the lawyer had no understanding of what any Electronics 101 student would know. I had a hard time not laughing and shaking the camera during the time that topic was being covered. It was pretty clear to me that lawyer had not fully prepared and didn't know at all what the topic was with flip-flops. I would have loved to have stayed in that one all day, since I figured it would only get more technical and confuse the lawyer even more, but someone took my place so I could finish some editing.
I'm not familiar with you or your posts, elrous0, but this comment is enough for you to never gain any credibility with me on this topic (and likely other ones as well), since it tells us that you are thinking in absolutes and you see anyone who disagrees or speaks up for Apple in any way as a fan boy.
Guess what? It's not all black and white. You may say you know that, but your comments show otherwise.
Essam Sharaf, the interim Prime Minister, has been a big disappointment.
Initially, a lot of hope was on him to make things better.
But as time passed, it turns out that he is too soft, and the military rulers do not allow him to have the authority to do things that are pro-revolution.
Speculation is that a second wave of the revolution will happen, aimed at the military junta (SCAF = Supreme Council of the Armed Forces).
In the Middle East, dictatorships made sure that no one can emerge as a competitor to the incumbent tyrant, and that has gutted two generations worth of politicians. Either they become servile to the tyrant, or they are eliminated (physically, politically, socially, or otherwise
Also, remember that this is a transitional government still. He has not been elected by a public ballot. That will take around 8 months to happen.
Outside of the USA, there are lots of engineers, doctors, university professors,
It will take time to built a political cadre again in these countries, and many will be professionals, not only managers or lawyers.
Totally disagree.
I am typing this from a Kubuntu 10.04 laptop that is my only desktop, and it has been very stable.
My wife uses it too, as well as my daughter.
No problems.
We had lots of problems with the non-LTS versions that had KDE 4.x in them, when it first came out. Terrible experience, to the extent that I wanted to got Xubuntu. But the LTS came out decent and we stayed on that.
Baby On Board.
