Believe it or not, a lot of people have a big phobia with contracts. Since the first day of iPhone 3G launch, I have explained to countless people that an iPhone can be bought without a contract. They will be all excited and ask me how this can be done. As soon as I explain to them that "easy, just activate a new line and terminate the contract. It'll cost you..." their face instantly frowns as soon as they hear the word terminate without me even getting to the total net cost.

Wikipedia's Content Ripped Off More Egregiously Than Usual 284

Ultraexactzz writes "Wikipedia's content is licensed under the GFDL, which permits such content to be copied with attribution — and Wikipedia is used to its content being copied and mirrored. However, a new website at e-wikipedia.net appears to have taken this a step further by mirroring the entire English Wikipedia — articles, logos, disclaimers, userpages, and all. Compare Wikipedia's About page with e-wikipedia.net's. The site even adds to Wikipedia's normally ad-free interface by including text ads." Just try logging in or actually editing an article, though, and you'll get the message "The requested URL /w/index.php was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request." If there's credit here, I don't see it — sure looks like it's intentionally misleading readers.

1 In 3 Sysadmins Snoop On Colleagues 392

klubar writes "According to a a recent survey, one in three IT staff snoops on colleagues. U.S. information security company Cyber-Ark surveyed 300 senior IT professionals, and found that one-third admitted to secretly snooping, while 47 percent said they had accessed information that was not relevant to their role. Makes you wonder about the other 2 out of 3. Did they lie on the survey or really don't snoop?"

I've waited 0.6 0.7 0.8 now 0.9, yet junk mail still doesnt get deleted in my junk folder (although the prefs are set to delete them after 1 day). Bug report here as confirmed by many (even screenshots). https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24046 8 See, this is exactly the problem with F/OSS, features get added as if its a race to beat someone (maybe it is, who knows), while the original basic set of features/bugs are ignored. Quite disappointing to see that we arent really moving forward at all, always playing a catch up.
