Doesn't make sense because Squirrelmail is also written in PHP and it's pretty solid. The next version will use HTTP-only cookies to further harden against attacks.

Then they should call it Opera 3.24, or -1 and count backwards from hereon.
I'd tell them how horrible the "modern" laptop is and how we'd have to turn things around in order to prevent wasting away all that research for decades to come.

I'd show them this video: http://vimeo.com/71278954

Does it still come with mail and bit torrent clients?
Windows actually supports using / as a path delimiter. If a program is (following the robustness principle) liberal in what it accepts (both / and \\) and strict in what it sends (just /), it'll work (barring any other issues).
There exists "gjs" and "js" ("smjs" in Debian), both of which are being maintained.
What are these so-called "fast lanes"?

> The really amazing thing here is that they've disentangled IE from the base Windows

Calling bull. MSIE has never been "entangled" with the OS and this has in fact been proven in court ( http://www.justice.gov/atr/cases/f2600/2613g.pdf pages 283 through 288 are especially noteworthy). The integration was merely a scam to defeat Netscape.

Here's a bunch of standalone versions from 1996 to 2002 (made by MSFT themselves) which can all run side by side: http://browsers.evolt.org/browsers/archive/ie/win32/

On the same site, you can find MSIE for HP-UX and Solaris.

Re:Level3 is without peer, now what to do? on Tuesday May 20, 2014 @11:52AM (#7773227)
This wouldn't happen if those ISPs didn't have local monopolies. Networks should be opened by selling traffic wholesale to other companies so that they can compete for subscribers on those networks. The network owners would have more than enough money for upgrades and if they don't, downlevel ISPs will sue them.

If it has a remote code execution vulnerability, it's trivial to make it send spam (or do all kinds of things) whether a MUA was already present or not.

You're saying it as if it were a bad thing.

Imagine that, being able to sell each addy in a ::/32 for a cent each. You'd practically be the entire economy at that point.

If you can mount it (w/ write permissions), you can push to it. Most companies already have a networked storage place.

You can at the very least send each other a zip file containing the .git directory. When you extract that directory into a separate directory, you can add it as a remote and fetch/pull from it (because that's the entire repository right there).

What I usually do is I copy the .git to another name before running zip, so it doesn't extract as .git :)

This is also one of the reasons you shouldn't commit binaries, especially large ones.

Re:Stop the FCC from Breaking the Internet on Friday April 25, 2014 @02:12PM (#7648134)
> Colocating equipment at head ends isn't a solution, because 1) not every provider will colocate, so if you can't preference colocated streams over non-colocated streams from other similar services, there's much more impact on other users

I've read this 10 times but I can't follow. In particular, who is this "you" exactly? And what kind of impact?

2) it might not be feasible to offer third-party colocation in every part of your network where there is bandwidth oversubscription.

This is not a concern for net neutrality but rather the individual ISPs. No ISP is obliged to offer any kind of hosting whatsoever.

> Terms like "net neutrality" and "reform" are often used to trick an audience into agreeing with the speaker by having the listeners fill-in-the-blank with their own favourable definitions.

That would be a sad state of affairs.

> So, when it comes to state action, "net neutrality" will mean whatever the government says it means

I'm no expert, but I don't think this accurately depicts how the legislative branch works.

> Your definitions won't matter once the bill is passed and/or the regulatory interpretation is promulgated.

Chillax, you appear to have a very grim view of your nations governance. That's fine and all, but it doesn't change what net neutrality is about so I'm not really sure how this is relevant. TFA opposes the FCC in the interests of net neutrality and more often than not, people have wildly varying ideas about what that means for service providers, content providers, and subscribers.
